With the U.S. dollar rallying and gold hovering near $1,250, top trends forecaster Gerald Celente just warned that this trigger for a global stock market crash will devastate the world.
Iran War coming. World War III? Market crash?
June 15 (King World News) – Gerald Celente: “Get ready for the next war. It may be the war to end all wars… and much of civilization…
The Trends Research Institute has identified a series of critical geopolitical events, many barely hitting the mainstream media.
Among the most powerful under-reported trend lines now forming is the global trigger point for war, under the groundless guise that Iran is “the No. 1 terror state” threatening stability in the Middle East and the world.
