Crime Wave 2011
January 3, 2011, Submitted by: Ken Tweet
As more and more people continue to lose the battle within the system, that is, job loss, no money, compounding debt, and high stress, the result will be the equivalent of lighting the fuse of a crime wave bomb – which might be detonated in a neighborhood near you.
Gerald Celente, a famous trends research forecaster, predicts that one of the top-10 trends for 2011 will be Crime Waves. Regardless of what you may think of Gerald Celente, this trend makes logical sense when one examines what is going on in the corrupt and broken parts of the world we live in today.
Celente quotes,
“People will become desperate when they lose everything, and they are losing everything. People will resort to crime. Street gangs will grow in large numbers. There will be white collar crime at every level.”
“When people lose everything and have nothing left to lose… they lose it.”
“Young people today have a mountain of debt, with no way to get to the top of the mountain.”
In America (and other developed countries), most manufacturing jobs are gone, and have moved to developing countries. Production and productive capacity is gone.
The result has been staggering. The number of US manufacturing jobs is at the lowest level since 1941. Production workers (Blue-collar and White-collar), construction workers, truck drivers, warehouse workers have absorbed very high job losses, while entire industries have for the most part, left the US, including textiles, furniture, electronics and components.
A result has been that many young people not having a college degree have very few options to turn to for an honest days work. Many years ago, there were plentiful opportunities for Blue-collar jobs, many of them quite respectable and able to return enough income to carefully sustain a family. White-collar job opportunities associated with production industries and manufacturing are also gone – affecting even the educated classes who have specialized in these areas.
Even those trying to enter the work force with a college degree are having difficulty finding what they expected, while carrying a tremendous debt burden having just borrowed for 4-plus years of college tuition.
Young people and the middle class are beginning to protest in record numbers (we’ve seen lots of this lately in Europe). Why? Because of not being able to get jobs, losing benefits, higher taxes, and higher tuition.
Unfortunately, the sad result may be that more and more will turn to crime, out of desperation.
Chances are, you may have already noticed an increase in crime, either by personal experience or of those close to you, or you may be hearing more reports of crime in the news media.
What is the solution? Bring back manufacturing jobs and productive capacity.
Since we know that this will not be happening any time soon, the best thing to do is to become prepared for the worst.
The very first step however, is the realization that the risk exists. An increasing crime wave may be upon us, and we should take steps to learn how to avoid and, or, protect ourselves from a new wave of criminals falling out of a broken economic system, with nothing to lose…

How the US has come to a standstill.
The manufacturing jobs have all been shipped off to China, India and other third world countries. The CEO’s of companies (most of them are now foreign owned and they actually hate the USA and are trying to find ways to destroy us!) don’t want to pay American workers union wages (15 to 25 dollars an hour), because they can pay workers in foreign countries 25 cents to 1 dollar an hour to work in unsafe conditions. The USA used to be #1 in exporting, now we are rated third, just behind China, Germany (can you believe that? Germany is ahead of the USA, it’s only the size of the state of Georgia!)
Young people getting out of college now can’t find good paying jobs. So what happens if everybody gets paid minimum wage in America? And to make matters worse, big companies hire illegals to work in factories, meat packing plants and pay them 10 to 12 dollars an hour! claiming that they just can’t find any Americans that want to work. There’s an old saying, that if you paid American workers enough they’d go out and pick poison ivy!
This is just another way of breaking America by turning it into a poor, third world country. Why do you think these foreign countries want the USA to take all the worlds poor people and criminals?
If there are no jobs now, what will happen when the popultion of the USA hits 400 million around 2040?
There are so many laws now, that it’s hard to walk out your front door without breaking some law somewhere.
The main problem is TOO many people! I’ve read (you probably have too), that BIG families (and i don’t mean 2,3, or 4 kids. I.m talking 6,7,8 or 9 kids!) are all the rage. Iread it in the newspaper. There’s a TV show, 20 kids and counting, where the couple has 20 kids! Can you believe that? And they want to make it to 25 kids! So where do they think the jobs are coming from?
The birth rate in the USA is around 4,250,000 a year. And climbing.
The legal and illegal immigration is around, depending on whose figures you read, 2 million to even as much as 5 million a year!
I’ve read that by the year 2100, there could be a billion people in the USA.
Already they are talking of 400 million by 2050, then they changed that to 2040, only 29 years from now!
Does anyone think that there will be that many more jobs added to cover all these people?
I’ve read in another survival site, that roaming gangs(high on PCP, or crystal meth, or crack, or all of these drugs together) will pop up, going neighborhood to neigherhood, house to house, kicking in your front door, so they can steal your guns and ammo, your coin collection, your gold and silver bars, all you booze (of course) and anything else they want (like your daughters and wives!) The police will be too busy protecting their own families and of course, the politicians!
Time to get a good survival retreat.
