Gerald Celente and 2012
We all know that the Mayans said the world is coming to an end in 2012, but none of us seem to be all that worried about it.
But what do we think when Gerald Celente, CEO of Trends Research Institute and predictor of other recent global disasters, says pretty much the same thing?

His direct quotes remind me of Nostradamus quatrains (really vague, open to interpretation, blah blah blah), but I have to admit that I’m fascinated by the whole 2012 thing.

I’m quite a pessimist about American’s future, even with Obama’s win. At first I was thinking this is totally far-fetched, but once you get passed the sensationalist headline, it makes a lot of sense.
All the same, you gotta wonder the value of scaring people like this. Cause I read this and think about halting any sort of purchases and start massively saving up, or even buying commodities that won’t devalue like the dollar will.
I dunno. The future is uncertain and bleak, that much is for sure. The one thing I do know is that I will not be buying a house anytime soon no matter how many times the V family tells me I should! Though I suppose a house could qualify as one of the aforementioned commodities.
Honestly, this makes me want to spend every dime I have and to live the shit out of the next couple of years. It also makes me want to learn how to kill a snake, skin it, piss in the skin and wrap it around my neck to keep me cool, and then drink my own piss when I get thirsty. I watched Bear Grylls do this this weekend and it blew my mind.
Bear Grylis is a fraud. Half the shit he does is total nonsense and he sleeps in hotels at night and then walks back to the location in the morning to act like he slept out overnight.
Survivorman, on the other hand. THAT dude is hardcore.
Also, I am confident in my ability to skin and clean my own meat for sustenance. Catching it, on the other hand… I need to learn how to trap.
Survivorman is such a douche! I have this argument with my brother all the time. All he does is complain about having to lug around his fucking camera equipment. You’re making a fucking tv show!
I don’t need Bear Grylls to kill himself to show me survival techniques. If he wants to sleep in a hotel rather than a yak, that’s fine by me.
I’m sure Bear Grylis would complain, too, if he was alone in the wilderness with no camera people. Bear has camera people holding the camera for him. What a sissy.
I like Survivorman cause he actually shows real, everyday, useful survival techniques. No one’s pissing on a fucking rag and putting it around their head. C’mon.
Doesn’t Survivorman just hunker down and survive, while Bear Gryls goes out, does things, and goes places? Sounds more exciting to me.
Also, he was an SAS guy, which is like being a navy seal+delta force+superman, so hes cool with me.
Sometimes, Ev, yeah. It depends on the scenario — he’ll pick whatever are his best chances of actually surviving in a real-world scenario. Usually he has a goal, though. Civilization of some sort.
I’ve never actually watched either show, nor do I plan to.
I bet James Randi hates Gerald Celente.
Perhaps the true survivor will be decided when the world descends into the Mad Max dystopia Celente is predicting.
Well I drive really fast, have a dog, and say inappropriate things when I drink too much, so looks like I’ll do fine.
Verdict, as found by Banned Bill: this dude’s a raving lunatic:
Just an aside, any idea where the “losing” tag came from? I am almost positive I didn’t put that there…
I’m guessing it’s tag #2012 in the database.
