(s)Elections See other (s)Elections Articles Title: Celente Says Populists Will Break the False Left-Right Political Paradigm Trends Research Institute CEO, Gerald Celente, originally predicted the rise of a third party when he spoke with Libertarian radio talk show host, Alex Jones, in late 2009 and repeated this forecast last week on the same show. Celente described this populist third party as Progressive Libertarians who stand for real environmental issues such as non-GMO organic foods, clean water, air, and soil free from corporate pollution, while advocating for alternative health freedoms and economic justice. He coupled this group with the antiwar, live free or die Libertarians who principally desire a return to small locally-controlled government with truly free economic markets to form an independent coalition. But is such a populist alliance realistic? Understandably, the red-blooded Americans in the Liberty Movement are as equally angry as true Progressives, but many are still playing partisan politics with Obama this and Bush that. Granted, it is easy to blame the party in power for the countrys current woes; and God knows Bush dragged the Republican brand to a new low during his eight infamous years. However, it is now becoming more imperative by the day that this anger be channeled and targeted at the proper perpetrators, while offering proper solutions in order to restore America. Admittedly, it can be difficult to find common ground among the thunderous noise of Limbaugh, Maddow, and the rest of the pundits. Certainly there is enough blame to go around between the do-nothing, bought-and-paid-for Congress, to the puppet president who has clearly been doing more for Wall Street and Big Oil than for the people who elected him. Amid the perpetual blame-game, both Republicans and Democrats are equally controlled by the same multinational corporate interests whose agenda always moves forward. As George Carlin famously quipped: Its one big club, and you aint in it. Do any of us even know how to define a Liberal or a Conservative these days? After all, in 8 years of a Conservative president we saw preemptive interventionist wars and nation building on the backs of the taxpayer, runaway borrowing and spending, and massive growth in government. Meanwhile, the Liberal savior Obama continues to expand the wars, torture captives without trials or evidence, and target all forms of free speech. Where it matters most, both political parties cater to Wall Street over Main Street, while working to restrict our Constitutional rights. Fierce populist revolutions have been fought over far less oppression than we see today (see 1776), and yet the generally angry public cant seem to focus long enough to form a strong common consensus. Americans can no longer allow the machine to define us by the shallow, false Left-Right debate. In fact, we dont stand a chance against the current system if we dont form a coalition with what is most important for us politically. Even if we do agree and get organized, some powerhouse Independents like Jesse Ventura fear that a legit third party may have to stoop to the same corrupt level to compete with the two-headed monster, because the system seems damaged beyond political redemption. Assuming our Republic can be wrestled back from the multinational corporations and banksters through the political process, it is best to stick to defining principles. Indeed, the Ron Paul crowd and the Liberal crowd have much in common when it comes to very important issues such as Peace, Auditing the Fed, Individual Liberty, Economic Freedom and Justice, and the Human Rights defined in the U.S. Constitution. After all, it is the Constitution that makes us American, not the Support the Troops stickers or Social Security. Furthermore, it seems that the stale Left-Right debate should be replaced with a Top-Bottom debate for a real populist movement to take hold. Average Americans are just now beginning to recognize that the coalition that keeps them in servitude crosses both party lines and is directly controlled by unpatriotic multinational corporations. Rage is mounting as citizens increasingly realize that the system has been maliciously designed by an unelected oligarchy with a stated mission to destroy America and consolidate control into a one world government. The enemy is not our neighbor who watches Fox News if we prefer CNN; as all major networks make up the marketing arm of the corrupt system, and are orchestrated to keep us divided long enough to conquer. This is an enemy whose allegiance is to international profits rather than the Constitution, and nearly all politicians are willing accomplices regardless of what color state they represent. Populists must be cautious as movements can easily be co-opted by the power centers of the two monopoly parties. For example, Neo-Con-in-Prada, Sarah Palin, is attempting to hijack the Tea Party for Republicans; therefore, Progressives are sickened by the sight of them. Meanwhile, Chief of Staff Rahm Hitman Emanuel tells the Progressives that they are fking stupid not to swallow Fascist Healthcare. Incidentally, it appears that anyone who tries to regain America for the people is either labeled a radical, or must be jammed into one of the big tent political parties. But perhaps this movement will prove to be large enough to transcend petty politics. As is often the case, another forecast by Gerald Celente may indeed come true as non-establishment candidates are now winning impressively all over the nation. No one can say for sure what this Independent-minded movement may ultimately look like, but it is encouraging to see populist anger being used for something so positive as kicking the corrupt bums out of Washington. This should be viewed as an optimistic sign of a true uprising that will gain traction and define what every American should be fighting for: Independence.

He lost me right there. IMO it can't be restored. How can something this monstrous be restored? It has to be destroyed first and then rebuilt. I'm watching it be destroyed by their own actions. That destruction can be the catalyst for the rest of the civilized world to grab their freedom too. It's a global thing now. Globalism can be to our advantage too, and not just the "elites". .

Die, or get with the program? JMO. Most of them will die. It wont end well, for them, but it will end one way or another. Either it is sustainable, or it is not. I say it's not. It doesn't work in nature and it won't work in civilization. All civilization did was delay the inevitable. If even now all politics are local, after the crash that won't change. If you dont like the way one locality runs things, you can move to another area more to our liking. That way, their locality can rise or fall depending on their own actions. I'd rather have localities fall due to their own corruption than a central government. IMO the pain involved will be directly proportional to their investment in the current system. people such as this guy do not want to see their world of amenities and "lifestyle" crumble, so they sit there and spout off about how "in the 2010 midterms," etc., etc. Exactly! They claim to hate the system, but still use it. .

agreed. If it happens in our lifetimes, some of us won't make it. .
