Russia Todat (RT) - Gerald Celente: IMF = International Mafia Federation
Founder of the Trends Research Institute Gerald Celente shares his thoughts with RT on the declining US economy, austerity measures in Greece, and the IMF.
Celente foresees no recovery in sight, as the bailout money dries up and reality bites. He argues that “too-big-to-fail” has killed capitalism.
“The IMF is nothing more than the International Mafia Federation. They’re the lone sharks of last resort, and the people know it.”
Celente points out that President Obama has no plan in place to solve the debt issue and is not discussing big cuts in the budget. “The politicians are doing nothing more than the bidding for those that pay them off.”
The Greek Parliament has just passed a plan for new austerity measures,
but tensions remain high on the streets, showing that frustration levels are only growing. Meanwhile in the UK half a million public sector workers took to the streets to protest governmental plans to change their pensions and freeze pay. In Washington the debt ceiling talks seem to be leading nowhere either - and all of this is backed by some more bad news: the latest jobless numbers are in and last week jobless claims were at about 428,000. That means for the last 12 weeks jobless claims have remained over 400,000. Gerard Celente, the director of the Trends Research Institute, shares his thoughts.
Doesn't this whole world situation reminds you about "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" ? Is this the last chapter?
Global bankers are the enemy of humanity. Until they're destroyed, our world will continue to be enslaved and fed upon by the elite parasites.
We all must spread the word to everyone we know about RT, and alternative media.
If you're young or just becoming aware, and don't feel qualified to speak to those in your sphere of influence, then just send them these news clips for their consideration and opinion.
Believe me, it works very well with clueless friends and family members.
