And to my delight, I’ve found Gerald Celente. You ask who Gerald Celente is? He's the President of Trend Research Institute and he's been predicting future events that have impacted our lives for the last 3 decades. It would behoove anyone reading this article to perhaps take a few moments to visit Mr. Celente's website and see how accurate he's been in his predictions. Not to mention he has been touted by CBS, MSBC and Oprah for his ability to predict future trends. When you have Oprah backing you, now that's some serious shit. Yes, I am being a smartass thank you very much. Now, normally I wouldn't "push" what some may call crystal ball nonsense, but, let me say, Mr. Celente has been mighty damn accurate in his predications and if what he says for 2010 into 2012 is a "possibility" then again I say, it would behoove the reader to take into considerations of what not acting on his predictions will mean for his/her ability to navigate a life that we've not seen before. In the end, let's say some of the following things don't transpire all the time and effort that you put into researching and planning will not be for nothing. You may very well learn that you can live with less money, less debt and more freedom than before. Or you could learn absolutely nothing and end up right back in the same place you are today. Let's just take a look at what Mr. Celente's is predicting or rather what the top trends will be for 2010: The Collapse of 2010 - It would "appear" by Wall Street and mainstream media's perception that we are on the road to recovery. At least that's what we keep being fed by all reports. However, unemployment is still at 10% and that's if you really want to believe that percentage, Wall Street is making money like always, Goldman Sach's is reporting profits again, yada, yada, yada, yet foreclosures are on the rise, unemployment/under employment is still a huge problem whether anyone wants to report to truth or not and the commercial real estate bubble is getting ready to pop as well. Also, when MA elects a Republican after over 40 years of being a blue state, you just have to go, WTF???? Not that I care whether MA is blue, red or purple for that matter, both parties suck in my humble opinion, so technically from where I sit who the hell cares??
I could cover the rest of Mr. Celente's future trends, yet, I feel that it's necessary for the reader to take a look at his website, www.trendsresearch.com and judge for yourself his accuracy over 3 decades. The question now is how angry are you? Is it time to stop pointing fingers at the standing political parties since both clearly do not and have not had the American peoples’ best interest at heart for many years? Will Americans start taking some responsibility for their part in this screwed up society, and when I say their part, you voted for the bastards because you believed that they were actually going to do what they said they were, or you might be one of the thousands that bought a house you damn well knew you couldn't afford so own it and move on, and you could also be one of the thousands that's still living off the welfare system because its just to damn easy to keep on that cycle. I know I'm taking my part of the responsibility for the situation me and my family are in and for my part of voting for politicians that were just damn good liars and because I was to ignorant and lazy to do my homework before I pressed that button the voting machine. I have no one to blame but myself and my lack of knowledge in many areas of politics, finances and our economic standings. I know more now in the last year than I have in over 25 years and for that I am ashamed. And if I offend anyone I don't really give a shit anymore, because I've got nothing to lose. There's going to be allot more people like me except for one difference, I'm doing my rants via the internet, these folks are going to be doing it on the streets and when you have nothing more to lose then it's on. Today, however, I am empowered with the knowledge of what is going on. I am no longer sitting on the side lines waiting for my congressman or senator to step up and do what's right. I am fighting back, one article at a time and yeah, maybe it's not reaching the masses yet, but I have faith and I am resilient and I'm not giving up, I'm not backing down and to hell with being politically correct. When I see that our Government pledges millions of dollars for relief effort in Haiti that clearly we do not have to pledge it pisses me off and before you start bashing me for that statement, I’m not against helping, yet when you can’t even help those in your own backyard, well there’s a problem. When I see that our Government wants to spend billions more on two wars that are going nowhere it pisses me off. When I read article after article of it’s the Republicans fault, we inherited this disaster and the likes, well, yeah you got it, and it pisses me off. When I read that the Democrats are trying to save the economy and that the Fed and the Treasury saved us from total economic collapse, which really pisses me off. The farce congressional hearings over the banksters and their fraudulent bullshit is a joke, the feel good HAMP programs that isn't benefiting anyone except those few lucky ones is a joke. Oh and let’s not forget all of the self-centered I'm better than you and honk if I'm paying your mortgage pissy ass whiners out there who piss me off. Here's an update for you: not everyone who's asked for assistance and really want to keep their homes and have every intention of making good on the contract they signed that were legitimate is a low-life, deadbeat, living off the Government piece of shit you want to tout that they are. Their just like you, they've paid their taxes, they've go to their jobs every damn day and they've fallen on hard times like everyone other tax paying citizen and all they want is a bit of a reprieve until things turn around. So how's about you getting of your high and might ass soapbox and take a look around you if your capable of pulling that plank out of your eye. My dad always said and still does, "I don't mind helping any of my kids out in hard times as long as I see that they are working and doing everything they can to help themselves." Maybe some of you could take my dad's attitude and use it to help someone else, or maybe you can just keep sitting up there on your pedestal and pass some more self righteous judgment and when the day comes when and if your standing at those pearly gates, you can explain to the man upstairs why you didn't reach out to your neighbors in their time of need. And if I’m lucky to be standing there hoping for forgiveness for my potty mouth kiss my ass attitude I hope that he'll understand that everything I’ve said, I meant with love and if not, I’ll be the receptionist in hell welcoming you in. So, in closing, I'm pretty sure I’m going to get blasted for this article and guess what, I don't give a shit. That's the beauty of free speech. You don't have to like what I say, you don't have to agree with it and you can slam me for days, but, when today comes to an end and I lay down to sleep, the only thing that will affect it is, if one of the babies wakes up in the middle of the night or if the husband's snoring is too loud. Outside of that, I'm good. And I said what I mean, I mean what I say and I am helping where I can what the hell are you doing?

I'm not into the doom and gloom per say, however, due to the economic instability these days and the fact the internet affords me the opportunity to look up stuff I would have otherwise over looked as it didn't pertain to my daily life or that of those around me or connected to me since times have changed and we are living now in a false sense of recovery as perpetuated by the mass media, it prompted me to just scan the net to see what or if there were some sort of pending predictions of what 2010 will hold for Americans.

... Great article. I too am fed up with this beaurocratic bullshit. I do not care if a political party is red, white or blue. It is time for our government to unite and remember why they are where they are. To help the Americans. They are not doing that. In fact, greed has taken over this country and until people are willing to take a stand, it will continue. I will do my research come election day and make sure I educate my co-workers, friends, relatives, and anyone else I can get to listen to me before they push the buttons. When this country was founded, it was an honor to serve in the government and when that person's term was over, they went back to their job. There was no such thing as a career politician. Until we can unite and vote these greedy career politicians out, nothing will change. Which type of person are you? One who does not vote, but continues to sit on your ass and complain, or one who will be an educated voter and try to make a difference? Thank you for telling it like it is. |

... Thank you for this. I wish I would have paid better attention to who is in office. They all seem to be too busy to take time to reply or respond to the voices on Main Street. We work hard for our money with so much of it given up for taxes and for what? So we can be broke most of the time for the cost of living, lose our homes for bad loans while they have bank accounts with more money than anyone could use in a lifetime then slapping each other on the back forgetting about us like we don't matter. We were used in a scam no one has the balls to step and say enough of taking using back door hidden agenda's. It is so sad how greed has taken over this country with no end in sight. I wanted to believe in real hope and change. Instead I feel hopeless wondering how much longer can I hold it together before I give up and call it done, Catherine D. |

Mad is the name of the game these days I was actually happy when the Republicans won in MA. Why? Because I, too, am mad, and these politicos need to be shook up. I and others have called and e-mailed and snail-mailed and faxed and gotten NOTHING useful in our fight to change the way banks are NOT giving loan modifications. So they need to be shaken up where it hurts THEM, and that is at the polls. They might not have believed people were really made before the MA election, but by God that's now a pretty damn good indication of the depth of the anger out here in main street. If a state that had been Democratic for forty years suddenly becomes Republican, the people are making a big GD statement. Good for you Booggs. I am with you. |

Thanks You have given some people something to thin about, those who pass this off...are both missing and making the point. "It's not my problem, I can't do anything about" is the kine of reasoning that got in this mess to begin with. I ampersonally sick of being held to a higher standand than banks and anyone in government.The banks are covered by a veil of ferderal protection...unless they need to lift to screw ya....then the just use one of their many subsidiaries which can. |
