The Second American Revolution Has
Begun by Gerald Celente
 KINGSTON, NY, 12 August 2009 The natives are restless. The third shot of the Second American Revolution has been fired. History
is being made. But just as with the first two shots, the third shot is not being heard.
America is seething. Not since the Civil War has anything like this happened. But the protests are either being
intentionally downplayed or ignorantly misinterpreted.
The first shot was fired on
April 15, 2009. Over 700 anti-tax rallies and Tea Parties erupted nationwide. Rather than acknowledge their significance,
the general media either ignored or ridiculed both protests and protestors, playing on tea bagging for its sexual innuendo.
Initially President Obama said he was unaware of the tea parties. The White House later warned they could mutate into
something unhealthy.
Shot #2 was fired on the Fourth of July, when throngs
of citizens across the nation gathered to again protest taxation without representation. And as before, the demonstrations
were branded right-wing mischief and dismissed.
The third volley, fired in early
August, was aimed point blank at Senators and House members pitching President Obamas health care reform package to
constituents. In fiery town hall meetings, enraged citizens shouted down their elected representatives. It took a strong police
presence and/or burly bodyguards to preserve a safe physical space between the politicians and irate townspeople.
The
White House and the media have labeled protestors conservative fringe elements, or as players in staged events organized by
Republican operatives that have been egged on by Fox news and right-wing radio show hosts.
In regard to this latest
wave of outbursts, health industry interests opposed to any reform are also being blamed for inciting the public. But organized
or spontaneous is not the issue. While most protestors exhibit little grasp of the complex 1000 page health care reform document
(that nary a legislator has read either), their emotion is clearly real and un-staged.
Rightly or wrongly, the legislation
is regarded as yet another straw on the already overloaded camels back. A series of gigantic,
unpopular government-imposed (but taxpayer-financed) bailouts, buyouts, rescue and stimulus packages have been stuffed down
the gullet of Americans. With no public platform to voice their opposition, options for citizens have been limited
to fruitless petitions, e-mails and phone calls to Congress all fielded by anonymous staff underlings.
Now, with Congress in recess and elected representatives less than a stones throw away, the public is exploding.
The devil is not in the details of the heath care reform, the devil is the government mandating health care. Regardless of
how the plan is pitched or what is being promised, to the public the legislation is yet another instance of big government
taking another piece out of their lives and making them pay for it; again telling them what they can or cannot do.
Though
in its early stages, the Second American Revolution is underway. Yet, what we forecast will become the most profound political
trend of the century the trend that will change the world is still invisible to the same experts, authorities and pundits
who didnt see the financial crisis coming until the bottom fell out of the economy.
Trend Forecast: 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.
Fourth Shot of the Second American Revolution: While
there are many wild cards that could light the fuse, The Trends Research Institute forecasts that if the threat of government-forced
Swine Flu vaccinations is realized, it will be the fourth shot. Tens of millions will fight for their right to remain free
and unvaccinated.
Publishers Note: The power of the Internet and new technologies
is inexorably fermenting the Second American Revolution. However widespread and emotionally charged, had the tax rallies,
tea parties and healthcare reform protests occurred in years past, they might have been covered by the local media, but might
not have made national headline news and thus would have died stillborn.
Now, with the ubiquitous camera-equipped
cell phone, universal access to YouTube, and millions of twitters and tweets, the uprisings cannot be ignored, contained,
managed, spun or edited down. The revolutionary fervor will prove contagious.
Can anything stop it?
Trend Forecast: Before the momentum of the Second American Revolution becomes unstoppable,
it could be derailed through some false flag event designed to
deceive the public, ( nuclear suitcase bomb folks, they have been saying it for years )
or a genuine event or crisis capable of rallying the entire nation behind the President. In a worst-case scenario, according
to Trends Research Institute Director, Gerald Celente, 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."
A false flag attempt,
a genuine crisis, or a declaration of war, may slow the momentum of the Second American Revolution, but nothing will stop
it.
