Gerald Celente: US At War With Iran, Imminent Dot-Com Bust 2.0 & Gold And Silver

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Gerald Celente to the show. Gerald Celente is Author, Founder, and Publisher of Trends Research Institute and Journal. The conversation delves into complex geopolitical and economic trends, with Celente offering a critical perspective on global politics, international conflicts, and economic dynamics. Celente provides a scathing critique of U.S. foreign policy, highlighting the disconnect between political rhetoric and actual actions, particularly focusing on leaders like Trump, Obama, and Biden. He argues that U.S. interventions in countries like Iran, Venezuela, and others are fundamentally driven by oil interests and geopolitical control rather than humanitarian concerns.

Celente extensively explores the shifting global economic landscape asserting that the 21st century will be the “Chinese century.” He points to China’s significant investments in infrastructure, education, and emerging technologies like AI, contrasting this with what he sees as America’s declining innovation and increasing focus on military spending.

Regarding economic trends, Celente predicts a potentially catastrophic economic scenario, which he terms the “greatest depression.” He emphasizes the critical role of precious metals, particularly gold and silver, as safe-haven assets during periods of geopolitical and economic uncertainty. Gerald highlights the massive U.S. national debt, potential digital currency implementations, and the ongoing erosion of the dollar’s global dominance. Celente is particularly critical of mainstream media, describing journalism as “dead” and advocating for comprehensive, multi-perspective reporting.
