- Gerald Celente warns of an impending financial collapse driven by CBDCs, unsustainable global debt (over $100 trillion), and fiat currency failures, urging diversification into gold and silver.
- Celente cautions that CBDCs grant governments excessive control over personal finances, citing historical asset seizures like FDR’s 1933 gold confiscation as a precedent for future overreach.
- Escalating conflicts—particularly Israel-Iran tensions and Western provocations against Russia—risk nuclear war, with Celente condemning leaders like Netanyahu for reckless policies.
- He advocates for a return to self-sufficiency, traditional values, and human creativity, rejecting AI-driven dehumanization and societal dependency on centralized systems.
- Practical steps include investing in gold/silver, privacy-focused cryptos (e.g., Monero), legal asset protection (UNAs), and fostering self-reliance in food, energy, and finance.
(Natural News)—Renowned trend forecaster Gerald Celente has issued a stark warning about an impending economic crisis fueled by central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), unsustainable debt, and escalating geopolitical tensions. In a recent interview on Decentralized TV, Celente emphasized the urgent need for a cultural revival rooted in self-sufficiency, traditional values, and decentralized financial strategies—including gold, silver, and private cryptocurrencies.
The Looming Financial Crisis
Celente, publisher of Trends Journal, highlighted the dangers of CBDCs, which he argues will grant governments unprecedented control over citizens’ finances. “When everything is digitized, they know every penny you spend, what you spend it on, and how to tax you,” he warned. He pointed to historical precedents, such as the 1933 U.S. gold confiscation under FDR, as evidence that governments can—and will—seize assets when it suits their agenda.
With global debt spiraling out of control—estimated at over $100 trillion when accounting for unfunded liabilities—Celente predicts a catastrophic collapse of fiat currencies. “The dollar is dying,” he declared, urging individuals to diversify into tangible assets like gold, which he calls “the world’s number one safe haven.”
Geopolitical Tensions and the Threat of War
Celente also sounded the alarm on escalating conflicts, particularly between Israel and Iran. He criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a “war criminal” whose policies risk triggering a nuclear confrontation. “If Israel attacks Iran, it could lead to the Samson Option—Israel’s threat to go nuclear if faced with defeat,” he cautioned.
He further warned that Western leaders, including Germany’s Olaf Scholz, are recklessly escalating tensions with Russia by approving long-range missile strikes into Russian territory. “When all else fails, they take you to war,” Celente said, quoting his own famous maxim.
A Call for Cultural Revival
Beyond financial and geopolitical warnings, Celente stressed the need for a cultural renaissance to restore America’s founding principles. He lamented the decline of hard work, self-reliance, and traditional values, blaming entitlement and digital dependency for eroding societal resilience.
“The only way things will change is with a Renaissance—bringing back the spirit of America that made it a beacon for the world,” he said. He advocated for a return to human-centered creativity, rejecting AI-driven dehumanization in favor of music, art, and independent thought.
Practical Steps for Decentralization
To survive the coming turmoil, Celente and his co-hosts on Decentralized TV recommended:
- Precious Metals: Gold and silver as hedges against inflation and currency collapse.
- Private Cryptocurrencies: Monero and other privacy-focused cryptos to evade surveillance.
- Asset Protection: Utilizing legal structures like Unincorporated Nonprofit Associations (UNAs) to shield wealth.
- Self-Sufficiency: Reducing reliance on centralized systems for food, energy, and finance.
Final Thoughts
Celente’s message was clear: The world stands at a crossroads between ruin and renewal. “It doesn’t take a majority to prevail, but an irate, tireless minority setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men,” he said, invoking Samuel Adams.
As the global financial system teeters and wars loom, Celente’s call to action is urgent: Decentralize, prepare, and reclaim the values that once made nations great.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
