So let's say I have a few mil in the bank and the dollar becomes worthless, I'm poor now?

Thats why you have to invest in assets instead of leaving your money in the bank.

Purchase gold and silver, buy multiple unit apartment complexes and hire property managers to run them if you don't have time.
 
You know, there are:
1. Liars
2. Bullshit artists.
3. Futurists
4. Laziest of them all, journalists.

About this Gerald Celente guy, if you want to do some "research" on his predictions:

1. Go to Google News
2. Type in Gerald Celente
3. Okay, now filter by date 2001-2003. Then try 2004-2007.

Find me a frickin' Gerald Celente prediction BEFORE 2008 that's not warmed over fuzzy pablum and drop a link in this thread.

The only thing that's missing from this guy's repertoire is a $97 ebook advertised on his website
 
James Howard Kunstler has been predicting the fall of exurbian America for years, and he's a helluva lot more practical about what will happen and a lot less 'blood in the streets' hysteria than this guy.

Nevertheless, there will be a major shakeup in the way we live and interact with each other here in America. We will become much more "europeanized", in the sense that our communities will shrink into lots of smaller, tightly-knit units. Hey, you might even know your neighbor's first name for a change.

You see that a lot in Vancouver. It's cool, this is a good thing.

I'm just gonna buy a huge safe and fill it up with gold bricks and bags of diamonds and if anything does happen I'll move to the UK. cheeeea

P.S. Major economic collapses in the last decade have shown strong empirical evidence that the best barter item of all is .22LR ammo.

Might want to grab a few boxes while they're still cheap.

Yeah, if you can find it. I'd like to really stock up my my local WalMarts and such are sold out and have been for months!!

Motherfucker. You got me with that one.

In other news, is anyone else having trouble with the blocksite plugin for firefox letting makemoniesonline.com slip through sometimes? I end up getting tagged once in a while because I don't bother checking links anymore. Why should I, if that fucking plugin was doing its job? :angryfire:

dude just fix your hosts file located here (if your on windows)

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

and just add these two lines

68.180.206.184 makemoniesonline.com
68.180.206.184 Make Money Online

put those two lines under local hosts...

You can change the ip address to what ever you want but for me when the yahoo error page comes up i know i was supposed to be rolled..
 
Gerald Celente, Futurist Fraud : Edward Champion’s Reluctant Habits

Umm, I guess I will upset the mood of this thread if I link to a page that says Gerald is a fraud and has never sucessfully predicted jack shit?

You've got to be kidding me!!!!!!

That was the worst job of debunking someone I've ever read. Poking fun at predictions that places like Dillards & middle of the road restaurants will close does not make it a false prediction. In fact, it's happening all over retail. And yes, rich people will stay rich through any upcoming depression.

You want a list of shit he predicted ... here you go

Let me pull a few random ones for you to digest


  • Dollar Down, Gold to Soar (2005)
  • Demise of the Soviet Union (1990)
  • Home-office trends (1986)
  • Green marketing (1988)
  • On-line shopping revolution (1995)
This guy doesn't specialize in apocolyptic stuff, rather he just forecasts trends and offers up suggestions as to what the future will probably be like. He's not sporting a tin foil hat.
 
It's kind of stupid, but you have to add the address with both www and non www. Don't ask me why, but I think that's why you sometimes still don't get it blocked. I was having the same issue, and that seems to work.

subdomains (www) can have a different ip than the domain itself (that was the whole point of them) so it has to do a DNS lookup

Yeah, I'll stop being lazy and just block the thing in my host file.

Yeah, covered that base. Still slips through sometimes. Oh well, got it blocked in hosts file.

Anyway, Yeah it would be nice to debunk the guy. He's got an interesting track record. I get the feeling though, that the best way to get a reputation as a modern day Nostradamus is by getting as many of your predictions on record as possible, and getting everyone to focus on the calls you got right.

So a good question is: "How many bullshit predictions did this guy make that DIDN'T come to pass?"

I mean, he could very well have just "predicted" both outcomes then publicized the one he got right.
 
Sorry about that guys, I couldn't resist.

In other news, regardless of whether or not this guy is full of shit, I started my own little "oh shit" food cache today. Canned beans and veggies, peanut butter, tuna, and ramen. I'll just be picking up a few extra items every week when I go to the grocery and throwing them in.

That's just good sense, regardless of the presence of tinfoil hat thinking. There was a big ice storm around here recently, and some people were out of power and unable to get into town to resupply. Having enough food around for a week or a month at least would be prudent. A year would be a good goal to work toward.

Thank your for stimulating the economy. Everyone else should be out stocking up on supplies. I'll point you in the right direction.
