What a condescending annoying Prick Celente is with his whiny, self obsessed rants and lap dog slurping at the feet of master Alex. Having said that he makes some prescient points. America though no doubt starting with SOME good intentions was never the bastion of Democracy that many inside and out claim it to be. It started as, and on paper, still is a Republic. It has evolved though, and became an oligarchy which morphed into a plutocracy and ended up as corporatocracy. Those with money have the power and that is written into the lauded system that the elite founding fathers created when rule of law replaced democracy. America was never a democracy and still isn't.

Celente can miss an old fabled America that never existed because he obviously feels disenfranchised by a changing country that is not the same as the imaginary one he remembers. It's called getting old and nostalgic. He can't on the one hand moan about supporting the corrupt systems and then suggest that America be restored in his image as though his "new way" which apparently is as old as the Bible will magically remove the power from the financial elite of which he is part. He is an unrelenting doom monger and the American equivalent of Russell Grant.

For most outsiders America has never seemed to be about Democracy and freedom. It wasn't during Celente's youth and it isn't now. It is about Business. The opportunities it affords are financial. Gerald and Alex are products of it and they are in it for the money. The conspiracy business is a big money spinner and they are reeling people in, like the money shills they are.

They harvest their stories from the mainstream media they pretend to despise and feed leech like off people's fear and prejudices, regurgitating 3rd hand news as though they are prophets. They present a version of independent thinking that is as shrink wrapped and mass produced as the corporate industries they pretend to rail against.
