4-13-9 *KINGSTON, NY* -- Taxed to death, angry at government bailouts,
outraged by Wall Street greed, and bitterly resentful of a system that
rewards the undeserving rich, the American public is ready to revolt. "The
Tea Parties and Tax Protests sprouting across the nation, which we had
predicted, are harbingers of revolution," said Gerald Celente, Director of
The Trends Research Institute. "But they are not enough. Much stronger and
directed action is required. Our call for 'Revolution' will galvanize the
people, destroy the corrupt ruling systems, and produce a prosperous and
more just nation." The Revolution Celente proposes is unique in concept and
bold in execution. It is about a lot more than just "taxation without
representation.
systems can rescue America," said Celente. "We are under the control of a
two-headed, one party political system. Wall Street controls our financial
lives; the media manipulates our minds. These systems cannot be changed from
within. There is no alternative. Without a revolution, these institutions
will bankrupt the country, keep fighting failed wars, start new ones, and
hold us in perpetual intellectual subjugation.
ripe for radical reform. There is no doubt protests will proliferate and
intensify. In response, the government will call out the troops and bring in
the police. They will use the Patriot Act to silence, detain, harass,
persecute and prosecute groups and individuals exercising their
Constitutional rights. But Celente's Revolution need not degenerate into
violence or open warfare. "Intellectual Revolution" "I am calling for an
'Intellectual Revolution'. I ask American citizens to free their minds from
the tyranny of 'Dumb Think.' This is a revolution about thinking - not
manning the barricades. It's about brain power - not brute force." For
society to survive and grow, it must wake up and grow up. Americans must
acknowledge what their opinions are based on, who they listen to ... and
why. What are America's prime information sources? CNN, "The most trusted
name in news"? Fox, "Fair and balanced"? CNBC, "First in Business
Worldwide"? The New York Times, "All the news that's fit to print"? Who do
the people listen to? A closed circuit of familiar faces guaranteed to take
predictable positions. Authorities on nothing, yet pronouncing upon
everything; a cadre of media aristocrats, pretending they're the people's
voice. Bill O'Reilly, Steven Colbert, Rush Limbaugh, Keith Olbermann, Sean
Hannity, Jon Stewart, Chris Matthews, Jim Cramer, Joe Scarborough, Anderson
Cooper, Bill Maher. TV tough guys, broadcast big mouths and Beltway
blowhards have now been joined by featherweight comics throwing powder puff
punches at sitting targets. This new addition to the critical debate is
celebrated by the world's leading financial newspaper: Wall Street riveted
by comedy clash Financial Times, 13 March 2009 "A showdown between a
comedian who has become one of America's most challenging commentators and a
news commentator known for his comedic antics has shown the brightest
spotlight on the media's market coverage since the financial crisis began. On
Thursday night, two cable television celebrities squared off as Jon Stewart,
host of The Daily Show ... on Comedy Central ... confronted Jim Cramer ...
star of CNBC's Mad Money programme." Without a hint of irony, FT bestows the
title of highest American intellectual common denominator upon a clown. A
pencil throwing, screaming, wryly grimacing professional comedian has become
"... one of America's most challenging commentators"
by comedy clash"? "The brightest spotlight on the media's market
coverage"? With
the world financial markets in collapse, this rivets Wall Street? Nearly two
years into the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, this
shines as "the brightest spotlight"? From Wall Street, comedy moves to the
White House. President Obama made history using comic Jay Leno's Tonight
Show as a platform to peddle his policies. World shaping decisions are
packaged in sound bites and pitched by the nation's Showman-in-Chief. There
is no time or place for debate or discussion. It's all entertainment. "The
'Intellectual Revolution' must be waged on the battlefield of the mind,"
said Celente. "Americans are doomed unless they kick the junk news habit,
deprogram themselves from celebrity worship, refuse to blindly follow
political leaders and question all ideological dogmas ... especially their
own. "For the revolution to succeed, people must repudiate the one-headed,
two party system, and learn to think for themselves," said Celente. While
the corporate-owned mainstream media and the government still control the
broad avenues of news and information, only willing and lazy minds need be
held hostage to it. The Internet world is awash in data, facts, analyses and
opinions (independent and mainstream) for all to access and assess. *THINK
FOR YOURSELF. THE "INTELLECTUAL REVOLUTION" HAS BEGUN.* ** Trend
