“The measures taken by successive governments to save the politically corrupt, morally bankrupt, physically decrepit giant from collapse have served to only hasten its demise. While the decline has been decades in the making, the acceleration of ruinous policies under the current Administration is leading the United States — and much of the world — to the point of no return,” says Celente. By 2012, even those in denial and still clinging to hope will be forced to face the truth. It will be called “Obamageddon” in America. The rest of the world will call it “The Greatest Depression.”

Just because he forecasts a gloomy future? Time will tell, but he is a genius for many people, including me.
- Michael Forian
No, it's more that many of his previous predictions were either wrong or extraordinarily vague, or so obvious anyone could see it... as mentioned in the two links I just posted.

Isn't 2012 when all heck is gonna break loose anyway? I saw it in a movie trailer... :)
- Bill Sodeman
I've never heard of Celente till today, and what I've read of his writings does not fill me with confidence.

Andrew, have you seen The Obama Deception? By Alex Jones (Oh no! I mentioned thou' who shall not be named!)? Celente is in 90% of it. Check it out on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch...
- Michael Forian
You will not be disappointed to learn that I consider Alex Jones a kook as well. (And the wikipedia page for Celente rightly notes that his more extravagant claims are hard to find verification for. Combine that with his banal or wrong claims and well, no, in my book the evidence for 'genius' is looking mighty slim.)
- Andrew C (✓)
The Wikipedia page showed both sides of the story, not a one sided one. Only time will tell with Celente, again, he is a "future" trends forecaster!
- Michael Forian
Time should already tell! He's been in this game for years now and his predictions to date are either lame in that they're too-vague-or-obvious-to-qualify, wrong, or unverified.
- Andrew C (✓)
So you're telling me that his predictions (I'll take it that you mean the vast majority of them, not all), that were lame in the sense that they're too-vague-or-obvious-to-qualify, wrong, or unverified got him to create the Trends Research Institute? http://www.trendsresearch.com/ - His praisers vastly out weigh his critics. He knows his stuff, and he will point out the obvious, for why...

The more I read about this guy, the more he sounds like a snake oil pitchman. The web site design for that company is straight out of Kook Central. (I know, you can't judge a website by its design) But since his two books (from 1991 and 1999) are available at my local library, I will give them a skim.

Go for it. Maybe you'll find something to like about him :-)

And I'm sorry, but if you think worthless people don't get paid - and quite well - you have clearly missed the Cramer/CNBC fracas of a few months ago, plus, I dunno, a truckload of other examples.
- Andrew C (✓)
Cramer was gambling with people's money. That's a big no-no with Celente. Him and his institute do not give out financial advice.
- Michael Forian
My _point_ was that just cause the guy has a company and gets paid to make predictions does not mean he is credible.
- Andrew C (✓)
Hundreds of news networks across the globe use him as a credible source, be it CNN or Russia Today. I guess we should all turn off the TV so we can be shielded from Celente's mild errors.

Argument from Authority is a logical fallacy. (edit: and so is a strawman argument.)
- Andrew C (✓)
It is. But I was only turning your extremist beliefs about Celente into a pathetic parody. And, I was stating the obvious.
- Michael Forian
"into a pathetic parody" Yeah, /that's what a strawman argument is/.
- Andrew C (✓)
Actually, it's the truth, but I'll let you label my comments to your pleasure ;)
- Michael Forian
*awaits for above comment to be labeled as fallacy... wait, maybe this one will be too?*

Obamageddon is now only 6-18 months away!
- Andrew C (✓)
one more bump: Obamageddon is now either ongoing or imminent!

... What if Obamageddon happened and no one noticed?

"Reminds me of what happened at the University of Hawaii when the basement of their main campus library flooded back on 30 October 2004. Some of the special collections were stored there, along with servers and the Library Science program offices. Pics: http://www2.hawaii.edu/~smurat...

"More universities are trying to get by without tenure. My university doesn't offer it. Even so, more and more full-time faculty are moving into part-time administrative roles as program chairs, department chairs and directors. That may leave fewer regular faculty who can advocate for the adjuncts, or it could create more administrators who could help adjuncts."

"Here are the guideposts: At age 35, you should have saved an amount equal to your annual salary. At age 45, you should have saved three times your annual salary. At 55, you should have five times your salary. When you retire at age 67, you should have eight times your annual pay."

"It's so layered," he says. "It's really audacious and amazing. I think a lot of people will miss the work that is involved, the story, the Venn diagrams that are being created, the domino effect that characters have with each other in their various episodes. I know what [Hurwitz is] doing, and this has never been done on a TV show like this. This makes Lost look like a Spalding Grey monologue. You'll have to watch each episode more than once."
