And the Beat Goes On

The war drum is slowly beating louder and louder. However, instead of being heard in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, it is being heard in Iran. The potential for a war with Iran is reaching a frightening point.

Newly released military contracts detail the US plan to "carry many thousands of military items from Concord, California, to Diego Garcia... [including] 195 smart, guided, Blu-110 bombs and 192 massive 2000lb Blu-117 bombs." These aren't your everyday missiles, either. A Blu-110 bomb is used "to penetrate hardened targets, bunkers, concrete walls, etc." The Blu 117 monsters are used for the same exact job. One can only guess what these "bunker busters" will be used for. Two of Iran's most important nuclear facilities, Natanz and Qom, are located underground. The US, one of the most vocal opponents of Iran's nuclear program, is hardly fooling anybody. This most recent shipment of bombs is in preparation for attacking Iran and destroying its nuclear facilities.

Angry, "progressive-libertarian," 3rd party on the way?

Apart from the GOP "liberty forum," which includes as few as two or dozens of 2010 candidates depending upon whom you ask, there is little to offer in the way of choices in next year's elections. Thus, I'm excited to see Gerald Celente's prognosis of a 2010 "progressive-libertarian" third party arising. It's always good to be skeptical of any self-proclaimed "seer," but Celente not only says all the right things about liberty, but has a credible track record to boot.

Ron Paul on the recession: 'None of this is behind us'

The Hill has a new article explain Ron Paul's view on our economic woes, his assignment of blame to the Federal Reserve, and his conviction that Wall Street is still "a shaky place to be." Read it here.

Trends researcher Gerald Celente agrees, predicting that "the worst is yet to come."

Dubbed as the world's greatest trends forecaster by CNN, USA Today and CNBC, Celente insists that despite the latest market bounce, and increase in consumer confidence, the economy's fundamentals are broken.

Read his explanation for why we should not expect anything more than a fleeting, false recovery any time soon here.

Is the worst still to come?

Gerald Celente of the Trends Research Institute says yes:

Conditions will continue to deteriorate. The global economy is terminally ill. The recession is in a brief remission, not the early stages of recovery. Cheap money, easy credit and unrestrained borrowing brought on an economic crisis that cannot be cured by monetary and fiscal policies that promote more cheap money, easy credit and unrestrained borrowing.

Nevertheless, Washington will continue to intervene, tax and exert control. Protests will escalate and riots will follow.

The numbers seem to agree:

Weekly initial unemployment claims are ascending again, up 4,000 from previous week, to 558,000. Details.

Unemployment Rate Under-Reported

The most common figure floating around as the current unemployment rate tends to be about 9.5 percent, or 14.7 million people. However, this is apparently a somewhat misleading figure: it excludes "discouraged workers who've stopped looking," "marginally attached workers who say they'd take a job, but haven't looked in a month," and "part-timers looking for full-time work."

Adding in these groups for a more inclusive measure brings the jobless rate to a much more concerning 16.5 percent -- that's just about one out of every six Americans. Read more here, and take a look at this recent interview with Gerald Celente, who has made a number of accurate predictions about the economy. In this clip he discusses the unemployment rate, the failures of the president's predictions, and his own predictions for 2012. Thanks to LewRockwell.com for the link.

"And God help us if he is right -- again."

A Human Events interview with Gerald Celente, the President the Trends Research Institute posted on LewRockwell.com reports his dire predictions for our near economic and national future. A well-known forecaster, Celente has been following about 300 trends -- for example, "family, crime, war, education, consumer & business patterns" -- for upwards of thirty years, and is currently calling for ever more serious financial troubles in 2011:

Mr. Celente's forecast on our impending future is based on his study of history. He says we are bent on destroying our currency, bankrupting our government, and unleashing a violent citizen-against-citizen eruption as the economy collapses into chaos and marshal law fascism... “The US is becoming a shadow of what it used to be. Take education for example. The OECD group of developed countries ranks quality of life, education, health care of its member nations. The US is now falling down the table as one piece of data after another shows America is in decline. We’re no longer Win, Place or Show in quality of life, education, longevity… all the essentials where we used to be #1. And our economic underpinnings are failing.”
