On the heels of yesterday’s KWN viral interview with Gerald Celente This Is The Shocking Truth About How Bad The Economy Really Is In The United States, it appears that an already bad situation for the U.S. and the rest of the world may be about to get a lot worse.

What Celente noticed after yesterday’s viral interview about the collapsing restaurant industry in the United States was this note from Stifel, Nicolaus & Co. analyst Paul Westra, who just cautioned: “We warn investors that restaurant-industry sales tend to be the ‘Canary that Lays the Recessionary Egg,’”  He also stated this “may also represent a harbinger to a U.S. recession in early 2017.”

For those who missed it, this was the stunning chart included in Gerald Celente’s KWN interview (see below).

Yesterday’s KWN Celente interview went so viral that Bloomberg ran a piece today

While parroting Celente’s KWN interview, Bloomberg was way off base with their conclusion.  This was Celente’s conclusion in yesterday’s KWN interview:

Americans Are Drowning In Debt

More than a restaurant recession, it is a precursor of a national recession.

Celente spoke with KWN again today and stated:  “Eric, just look at the chart that shows the University of Michigan’s Confidence Composite, which forecasts each economic collapse after the highlighted yellow circles (see below).
