Gerald Celente: The Dollar is Cooked
Gerald Celente: The Dollar is Cooked
6-6-2025
Gerald is founder of the Trends Research Institute and publisher of _The Trends Journal. He holds nothing back as usual with an insightful assessment of the general quality of global leadership.
Celente, who has spent 45 years forecasting trends, describes world leaders as "clowns" and "scum," citing examples like Boris Johnson in the UK, Emmanuel Macron in France, and Gerhard Schröder in Germany.
He argues that these leaders are failing to address systemic issues, with the middle class in decline and wealth inequality on the rise.
Celente highlights the impact of globalization and free trade agreements like NAFTA, which he believes have hollowed out American manufacturing and enriched corporations at the expense of workers. He also critiques the consolidation of media power under past administrations, noting that six companies now control 92% of U.S. media.
In terms of economic trends, Celente discusses the rise of gold as a safe-haven asset, with prices expected to hit $4,000 an ounce due to geopolitical tensions and inflation.
He expresses skepticism about tariffs, arguing they won't revive American manufacturing and will instead harm small businesses.
Celente also warns of the dangers of AI-driven economic bubbles and the potential collapse of equity markets. Geopolitically, Celente focuses on the escalation of conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, which he believes will drive oil prices to $120 per barrel and further destabilize global markets.
He warns of the growing risk of nuclear annihilation, particularly between Israel and Iran, calling it a "doomsday scenario." Celente concludes by advocating for personal resilience, urging listeners to prioritize physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
He also calls for a renaissance in values, emphasizing the importance of truth, integrity, and ethical leadership in rebuilding society.
