Topic: Direct Democracy

Gerald Celente recounts his history as a political consultant in Yonkers and his time as an assistant to the Secretary of the New York State Senate. He expresses disdain for the "crime syndicate" of modern politics, citing the insider trading of figures like Nancy Pelosi. Celente advocates for a shift toward direct democracy, similar to the Swiss model, to strip power from professional politicians.

Celente voices his disillusionment with Donald Trump and RFK Jr., primarily due to their stances on Israel. He calls for a new system of "direct democracy" where the people vote on going to war and the elimination of the federal income tax, which he traces back to Woodrow Wilson. He characterizes the current leadership as a "crime syndicate."

A Gallup poll shows that less than half of Americans are "very satisfied" with their personal lives, nearing record lows from the 2011 recession. Celente promotes "Occupy Peace," an initiative calling for the closure of overseas US military bases and the use of those funds to rebuild domestic infrastructure. He advocates for direct democracy on issues of war and migration.
