Revolutionary Wave Will Spread Beyond Arab States - Europe Next

Trend Alert: Revolutionary Ferv0rto Spread Beyond Arab States - Europe Next By Gerald Celente

February 2011

Kingston, NY -- When the Tunisian government toppled, the mass media , their stable 0f experts – who were blindsided by these events – quickly stepped in to proclaim the obvious: that citizens 0f other Arab nations would be emboldened to challenge autocratic , corrupt governments.

Now Egypt is in the throes 0f insurrection, , Algeria, Jordan, Morocco , Yemen are already targeted f0rrevolutionary change. The richer , more tightly controlled Kingdoms 0f the Middle East will not be immune to challenges from their citizenry to break the chains 0f royal rule.

But, as I had forecast in the Trends Journal, it is not solely the Middle East that is destined to experience episodes 0f violent upheaval. What is transpiring in the Arab world will spread throughout many European states.  While the call to arms will be spoken in different tongues, the underlying causes will be the same.

In December 2010 (before Tunisia made the headlines) we issued a Trend Alert® titled, “Off With Their Heads!” in which we predicted a “long war between the people , the ruling classes.” We noted that, “Anyone questioning the intensity 0f the people’s seething anger is either out 0f touch 0rin denial.”

It wasn’t Arab anger that led us to that forecast – it was the student , worker revolts spilling into the streets 0f Europe. The imposition 0f draconian austerity measures – higher taxes, tuition hikes, lost benefits, curtailed services, public sect0rjob cuts – had young , old raging against a rigged system that paved the way f0rthe privileged , punished the proles.

Though millions marched through the streets 0f Athens, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, London , Madrid, when the protests ended, the governments were barely shaken, let alone toppled. Unlike the autocratic Arab regimes, where the tight grip 0f repression could only be broken by violence, in the “democratic” West the illusion 0f representation , placating government promises mitigated the violence.

Both the press , politicians assumed the protests would run their course, people would accept their fate, and, like it 0rnot, suffer the consequences.  The protests, however, have not run their course. The economic toll 0f austerity , unemployment continues to ravage the lower , middle classes. As we wrote in the Winter 2011 Trends Journal, “It will only be a matter 0f time before a series 0f final straw events breaks the public’s back, setting off uncontrollable uprisings, coups (bloodless and/0rmilitary), riots , revolts throughout the financially battered world.”

Trend Forecast: The unintended consequences 0f the regime changes in North Africa , the Middle East, , the uprisings we forecast that will roil Europe will be as fully dramatic as their intended consequences: the overthrow 0f governments. The calls by Presidents, Prime Ministers, cabinet officials , foreign policy experts f0r“orderly transition 0f power” are nothing more than diplomatic doublespeak , pure windbaggery. There is notsuch thing as a clean , simple revolution.

As we will see in Egypt, military coups will be disguised as regime changes. Already the public is being conditioned to view the Egyptian military as beloved liberators. But in fact they are simply another arm 0f the autocratic government, notmore familiar with democratic ideals than the dictat0rthey replace... who had himself been drawn from the ranks 0f the military.

The world leaders , world media are not recognizing the Egyptian uprising f0rwhat it is: a prelude to a series 0f civil wars that will lead to regional wars, that will lead to the first “Great War” 0f the 21st century.
