you can't make this shit up.....
Gerald Celente (born November 29, 1946) is an American trend forecaster,[1][2] publisher of the Trends Journal, business consultant[3] and author who makes predictions about the global financial markets and other important events.
Background Celente was born in an Italian American family in The Bronx, New York City, New York. He had early political experience running a mayoral campaign in Yonkers, New York,[when?] and served as executive assistant to the secretary of the New York State Senate.[when?] From 1973 to 1979, Celente traveled between the major US cities of Chicago, Illinois and the United States capital, Washington, D.C. as a government affairs specialist.[4]In 1980, Celente founded The Trends Research Institute (at first called the Socio-Economic Research Institute of America), now located in Kingston, New York, publisher of the Trends Journal which forecasts and analyzes business, socioeconomic, political, and other trends.[5] ForecastingHis forecasts since the 1980s have included the 1987 Black Monday stock market crash, the dot-com bubble, and the 2008 financial crisis.[6][7][8] More recent forecasts involve fascism in the United States, food riots and tax revolts.[3][9][10][11] Celente has long predicted global anti-Americanism, a failing economy and immigration woes in the U.S.[12] Over the years, he has made recurring guest appearances on major television news networks, including CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and ABC News, and has been featured on programs hosted by popular figures such as Oprah Winfrey and Judge Andrew Napolitano.[13][14] He has described himself as a political atheist, distancing himself from both parties, which he views as different faces of the same underlying problem.[15] Robert Kiyosaki has called the Trends Journal a publication that can change the way readers see the world and a great investment.[16] Celente’s work has also been praised by other prominent figures in finance and media, including Peter Schiff and Max Keiser.[17][18] In April 2009 Celente wrote, "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."[19] Celente has said, "smaller communities, the smaller groups, the smaller states, the more self-sustaining communities, will 'weather the crisis in style' as big cities and hypertrophic suburbias descend into misery and conflict", and forecasts "a downsizing of America".[10] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Celente?ysclid=mp611ke9xc895244182

saving face....
US President Donald Trump’s China visit was an attempt to “save face” and seek relief after the Iran war destabilized the global economy, geopolitical analyst Danny Haiphong has told RT. According to Haiphong, the US is now in a “far weaker position”than China and is seeking closer ties with Beijing to stabilize its economy and global standing.
US-China relations have been strained for years over trade, technology, and security, with Trump’s tariff hikes last year escalating tensions into a full-scale trade war before both sides agreed to a temporary pause. Expectations for a breakthrough were high ahead of Trump’s May 13-15 China visit – his first in nearly a decade – but no major deals or clear breakthroughs were officially announced before the trip ended Friday.
In an interview on Thursday, Haiphong argued that the US delegation came to China “hoping to essentially get saved from the crisis of their own making” in Iran and its global fallout. US-Israeli strikes on Iran triggered retaliation against countries hosting US bases and led to the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz – a route for roughly 20% of global oil and LNG supplies – sending energy prices soaring.
The US was the one who requested this meeting, and it’s the US economy as a whole and the global economy that is suffering because of [its] aggressive and illegal war on Iran that produced an overheated global economy and an oil crisis that is now blowing up,” Haiphong said. The analyst argued that Trump “really needed this meeting” to “find some way to cool this overheating economy.”
“What it amounted to was the Trump administration and all of these executives coming with their hands out hoping that China will give them deals that will ease some of this tension,” he said, referring to Trump’s delegation of CEOs ranging from SpaceX and Tesla’s Elon Musk to Boeing’s Kelly Ortberg.
Haiphong said the summit was largely “about the optics”and projecting strength for the US, arguing that relations between Washington and Beijing will not genuinely improve unless the US abandons its “saber rattling” and makes major policy concessions.
“The world has changed. The US is in a far weaker position. China is in a far stronger position. It really is the US that has to hold on to the ties that it has with China in order to try to save face and strengthen its hand,” he said.
Following the summit, both leaders praised the talks as progress toward stabilizing the bilateral relationship. Xi said the sides had agreed on “constructive strategic stability” for the coming years, while Trump claimed “a lot of different problems” had been settled.
