Gerald Celente Trends Alert - The "Bailout Bubble" - The Bubble to End All Bubbles

Kingston, NY --  The biggest financial bubble in history is being inflated in plain sight, said Gerald Celente, Director of The Trends Research Institute. "This is the Mother of All Bubbles, and when it explodes," Celente warns, "it will signal the end to the boom/bust cycle that has characterized economic activity throughout the developed world." 

Either unwilling or unable to call the bubble by its proper name, the media, Washington and Wall Street describe the stupendous government expenditures on rescue packages, stimulus plans, buyouts and takeovers as emergency measures needed to salvage the severely damaged economy.

"All of this terminology is econo-jargon," said Celente. "It's like calling torture 'enhanced interrogation techniques.'

Washington is inflating the biggest bubble ever: the 'Bailout Bubble.' "This is much bigger than the Dot-com and Real Estate bubbles which hit speculators, investors and financiers the hardest. However destructive the effects of these busts on employment, savings and productivity, the Free Market Capitalist framework was left intact. But when the 'Bailout Bubble' explodes, the system goes with it."

The economic framework of the United States has been restructured. Federal interventionist policies have given the government equity stakes, executive powers and management control of what was once private enterprise. To finance these buyouts, rescue and stimulus packages -- instead of letting failed businesses fail and bankrupt banks and bandit brokerages go bankrupt -- trillions of dollars are being injected into the stricken economy.

Phantom dollars, printed out of thin air, backed by nothing ... and producing next to nothing ... defines the "Bailout Bubble." Just as with the other bubbles, so too will this one burst. But unlike Dot-com and Real Estate, when the "Bailout Bubble" pops, neither the President nor the Federal Reserve will have the fiscal fixes or monetary policies available to inflate another.

With no more massive economic bubbles left to blow up, they'll set their sights on bigger targets. "Given the pattern of governments to parlay egregious failures into mega-failures, the classic trend they follow, when all else fails, is to take their nation to war," observed Celente.

Since the "Bailout Bubble" is neither called nor recognized as a bubble, its sudden and spectacular explosion will create chaos. A panicked public will readily accept any Washington/Wall Street/Main Stream Media alibi that shifts the blame for the catastrophe away from the policy makers and onto some scapegoat.

"At this time we are not forecasting a war. However, the trends in play are ominous," Celente concluded. "While we cannot pinpoint precisely when the 'Bailout Bubble' will burst, we are certain it will. When it does, it should be understood that a major war could follow."

a major war..where did that come from..the other possibility is of course not that
the bailout will create a bubble...but
that it will create inflation...last article
celente was talking about a great depression
which is deflation...not inflation..
and who would this war be with...or are we
living in 1939!

[Grouch]

Celente is beginning to sound like he's smoking something that's creating paranoia. His economic theory might be defendable...but where does the major war come from?

Strike up the band, happy days are here again!!
Just ask the Oracle of Greenberg.

There is a war going on Iraq and Afganistan.
It will be a tactical nuke war with Russia for oil. Iran will push Israel will push the button and destroy Damascus, Syria off the face on the earth. This will break supply lines to Lebanon terrorist groups. Russia will come down from north and attack Israel. Israel will launch a tactical nuke war and repel the Russians. Since it won't be on Russian soil Russia will not nuke back.

[little red rh]

you are totally nuts...Israel is not going
to nuke anyone..your doomsday scenario is
for losers..israel and syria are talking
about peace...russia wouldn't dare attack
the state of israel because of the US
agreements with Israel..its people like
you who try to whip up anti jewish
sentiment by implying that israel is the
cause of all there problems..

[gthbvf]

Bubble will only blow off when world stop trading in dollars .. day is geting closer faster as US is printing dollar faster...and as dollar collapse cost of everything will shootup expecially gasoline....and to control gasoline prices US can nuke any country

[Eliyahu]

Ahhh yes. The prophecies are coming true. The war in the Middle East that long ago was predicted by the ancient Hebrew prophets, and yes, it will come on the earth like a thief. Unexpected to those who deny truth, but to those who know what to look for, it is completely predictable. Damascus destroyed never to return, and the war of Magog begins. The fall of modern day Babylon, and that great city that the people of the earth are made rich by: New York

Like the recent economic crisis that soooo many "experts" and novices alike could not see nor admit was coming , so too is the next great surprise for the blind and deaf.

Do you see and hear? The thief is at the door, and with surprise and stealth, he is readying to cause great grief upon those who think he will never come.

[Rain coast Ghost]

The "bubble" he speaks of is true. Every period of inflation starts with deflation. With the country printing money in massive amounts as it is, the short term effect is a 'feel good' economy. Until the effect wears off with price inflation. Answer? Print more 'feel good'! And so on, and so on...
End effect is hyper-inflation wiping out all non protected wealth, and I may add the humongous deficit too! Those nations that hold the majority of their reserves in the dollar will be very peeed off! This will lead to increased tensions in the world, and eventually some major armed conflict. The big corporations are rubbing their hands in anticipation of all that war profit! Yum! Yum! Can't wait!

[little red rh]

thats doom and gloom nonsense

[amaranth]

if people are familiar with nostrodamos prediction of the third world war.....one of the biggest sign was everybody can only trade with the devils 666 sign which in just my own point of view might be gold not a person as the anti christ bec of the number 999 (inverted 666) and aren't many independent economist are predicting the depreciation of the dollar then the rise of gold standard because of massive printing.......of course in the prophets conclusion, the devil(gold) will temporarily reign for a short period then world war III breaks out to settle all scores which i think is in 2012 (which new agers say that the mayan prediction comes in for great changes)......of couse all are jus my personal opinion..

[Simon K]

There are some interesting comments made in this article. I believe that history can and does repeat itself and war is on the horizen. Otherwise why are USA, Autralia, GB and other western nations investing so heavily in upgrading their military. With talks of compulsory national sevice for the unemployed already being discussed in Australia,who knows what secret agenda is on the cards?

[Christine Elliott]

'He who has ears to hear let him hear'!

LISTEN.

This man speaks the truth

[Alifeso]

Western nations are placing themselves on a war footing. Homeland security is now looking at boyscouts in the US. The UK is starting to militarize schools. It's being done slowly and by stealth. Expect national service packaged as "community initiatives", etc. Drafts in disguise, for sure. If real estate is no longer profitable, if excess money is being printed, if the only growth areas are government, quangos, the security industry and the military, where do you deniers and Pollyannas think it is all going, if not towards war? Please answer this question if you can.

[MAC]

Bang on the button.

The war scenario, is accurate as history often repeats itself (or those in real power make it repeat itself more like), the last depression saw the start of WWII, so it is likely that the current depression will see the start of WWIII unfortunately (China / Russia / Iran / MidEast vs US and it's allies is the most likely result). The illuminati's agenda of a 1 currency system, with 1 central bank and a microchipped population grows closer by the day - watch out for more bank failures and more 'terrorist' laws coming in to "protect" us. In fact this is the Gov in disguise protecting itself against us (if we speak out) when the "Grand Illuminati Plan" of a new world order tries to rear it's head.

now we are talking nostradamos! war is not
on the horizon other than the epic struggle
we are in against radical islamists which
I am sorry to say will continue..we are ginning up our military in order to combat
that threat...but this is an economic reality...business cycles come and go..
it will take us a while to reset the economy
and get back to growth, maybe sometime
in latter 2010..there will be another round
of foreclosures and the government will
have to assist borrowers who are underwater
in staying in their homes, which is what
they should have done in the first place
job losses are already slowing..and people
are spending less and saving more..
and for those who predicted that no one
saw the financial crisis..guess what in
a letter to the wsj I predicted it four
years ago..and I took appropriate action
to avoid any losses...as for the rest of
you I assume you continued to invest in
the market and real estate by using your
atm cards as a piggy bank I feel bad for
you but it is no reason to predict the
end of the world..

[John Wheatcroft]

I can understand the economic theory exactly, whther Celente is smoking something nasty or not. Don't forget that wars are very profitable for Governemnt's around the world, so when you have no resources left to blow up any more bubbles then creating a "theatre war" might be a resaonable exuse. All Washington has to do is "invent" and enemy, just like they did with 9/11, convince the public that the enemy is real and then go after the said "invented enemy". what this will do is provide lots of jobs for the business of war, i.e Armaments, bullets, bombs, missiles etc etc pretty well anything that can mame or kill - result lots of fresh money in the economy from the companies producing those goods and selling them to the enemy and/or the people fighting the enemy. A classic "problem, reaction, solution" scenario. It will basically be a false and unnecessary war based on economic desperation and greed rather than an actual enemny as such - Ring any bells ?

IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN, IRAN, SYRIA, LIBIA
etc etc etc.

Ask yourself a question do people from Iraq or any other Middle Eastern country actually WANT to kill Americans or British people purely based on religious beliefs and are people from these Eastern Countries really that jealous of what we have in the west - er no of course not. I have several freinds from said countries and I cannot imagine for one minute that theyqwould wish to do me any harm at all.

[Simon K]

Not the end of the world but we will have a war to try and revamp economies, but our weapons are more powerful now and our leaders are becoming crazier all the time.

[Vitorrio]

With who this war would be? Hmm,lets see,theres China, Russia. How do you suppose this eco-crisis will end? In what economic state was Germany just before the war? Its inflation was 1000%.

When the world gives up on the us dollar it will lead to famine thus a lot of peed off people. Some states will break off and there will be civil war and chaos. You will then have the united nations army coming in to restore order. So you will have freedom fighters i mean terrorists fighting the UN. Also china and japan will have claim to parts of the US as collateral for the trillions of dollars owed to them.
They cant pay back the debt so they speed up the destruction by borrowing more and therefore inducing the inevitable war.

[Daniel]

Mr. Rothchild and his bunch did not set up Isreal because they care. They set up Isreal with the sole intention of inciting World War Three. If it takes too long for one of the wolves surrounding Isreal to attack, then they will attack Isreal themselves with another false flag. Then, by use of their media control they will generate any number of enemies and all the blind fools of the world will believe and march straight into their new world order. Yes, the wars created this time will not be to expand their financial control in the world(they now have more than enough), this time it is a grab for complete world domination.

If you think you are a shoe in for their ark. Think again. The ark they are planning is not big enough for even the Anglo Saxon.

Be afraid. It's not your ego that will get you on board.

[spuglyfuglet]

there is another kind o war that Gerald Celente forgets, that Civil war that leads to REVOLUTION.

I will make a Perdition Mr Celente , Socialism
is going to make a come back with a BANG.

[Paolo Caruso]

Someone on this post is asking where did Gerald get "WAR" from

1. TRY looking at WORLD WAR II and the failed keynsian attempts to come out of the depression.

2. Take a look at the current rush of military contracts for everything imaginable... Every day, Raytheon, Honeywell, Boeing, Gen. Dynamics and hundreds of small firms are getting billions to build the WAR MACHINE.

[little red rh]

you guys are delusional and far left
conpiratorialists...it aint' gonna
happen...celente has been wrong for the
past 20 years..and he is wrong now

[Dan]

Russia and China have already been given the geen light for the 1st strike. we will counter strike to make it look good then surender to the new world goverment. Over half of our nuclear sub fleet is at dock with a bulls eye printed on them. our ICBM are off line will be wiped out in the 1st strike.
Dont know if we can recover from this. Russia is the big miltary threat. We have better wepons but the Russians will use theres.

[wulfy]

hey red rh -
your right on abut 999 refined gold being the mark of the beast. Man once again must return to gold for money. After all anything can be used as money (even coloured bits of paper). Whenever man has been given the power to make his own money those that are in charge of making it have yielded to the temptation to cheat their fellow man, perhaps due to mans weakness, dare I say because he is part beast or mamaon, mamal mamoth. Hence man still cannot trust himself and must use gold, silver and copper once again :)
