Sadly, welcome to Crusades 2000, a Top Trend of 2024 that world renowned trend forecaster, Gerald Celente had forecast in his 1997 book, TRENDS 2000 would rattle the world in the 21st Century.
In his bestselling book he wrote, “The formal battle lines for the new Crusade had been drawn when Israel was created in 1948. But Israel, however complex politically and militarily, was no more than the latest episode in a conflict going back more than a thousand years.”
Totally absent from the mainstream media news is how and why the West’s decision to create the Jewish State of Israel sowed the seeds of Crusades 2000.
In our Spring 2006 issue of The Trends Journal, when it was a quarterly, we wrote:
While the seeds of Crusades 2000 had been planted in full view of the world, and all those watching could have anticipated the eventual harvest, the memories of what had happened and what would occur have been fogged by rigid ideology, fanatical religiosity, patriotic fervor, government propaganda and ulterior motives.
Regardless of England’s reasons or intentions – self-serving or otherwise – Crusades 2000 was set in motion by the 1917 “Balfour Declaration,” that laid the foundation for Israel: “His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object … .”
Right or wrong, good or bad, like it or not … during the 25 years of the Palestine Mandate, from 1922 to 1947, large-scale immigration of impoverished and persecuted Jewish refugees – from Germany to Russia – returned to redeem their Promised Land after 2000 years of exile. Consequently, the Jewish population of Palestine increased from less than 10 percent in 1917 to over 30 percent in 1947, the year Israel was granted statehood by the UN.
The local inhabitants, who worshiped God differently and rejected the “God promised us this land” version of the Jewish returnees, waged numerous battles and rebellions in an effort to hold onto their property and to stop further Jewish immigration.
Underlying it, in the Western world, there is and was a deep-seated, organic anti-Islam bias.
It is now front and center for all who are not deaf, dumb and blind to hear, understand and see.
Israel is continuing its bombardment and massacre in Gaza, and its war of genocide has been framed in the Western media as a fight of good vs. evil.
Bloomberg ran an article just weeks after the 7 October Hamas invasion noting that there is a “significant section of evangelicals” who are part of the U.S. Republican Party that says bloodshed in Israel “will pave the way for the second coming of Christ.”
Shakeb Ayaz, a writer based in New Delhi, India, wrote in The Times of India last month that these individuals see the heavy-handed Israeli response to the attack as “prophetically legitimized.”
“The inhabitants of the Holy City and surrounding areas were apparently always children of lesser gods, even more than a thousand years ago. Since then, Christians, Muslims, and Jews have been fighting savage battles to control Jerusalem, arguably the world’s most contested city, and surrounding geographies, sacred to all three Abrahmanic faiths,” he wrote. Ayaz continued, “On July 15, 1099, crusaders or religious war mongers from across Europe entered Jerusalem and indulged in a massacre of thousands, including Jews, Muslims, and Orthodox Christians. When western weapons are now used to ethically cleanse a civilian population in Gaza, history is only being repeated.”
Wipe Out
Affirming that it is Crusades 2000, a religious war, on 10 October of last year, two days after Israel launched its attack on Gaza, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham called the Israel War a “religious war”, encouraging Tel Aviv to wipe out the Palestinians.
“I am appalled by anyone who blames Israel for the current situation in the Middle East,” he wrote on X. “We’re in a religious war and I unapologetically Stand with Israel,” and for Israel to “Do whatever you need to do to defend yourself. Level the place.”
We’ve reported extensively on how the U.S. House of Representatives is headed by Speaker Mike Johnson, who told Congress his first act of speaker would be to assure funding for Israel’s war effort in Gaza. He made his first appearance in front of Jewish Republicans and said, “God is not done with Israel.”
The New Republic said Johnson seems to be the “run-of-the-mill Christian Zionists, fueled by fantasies of a cataclysmic war in the Middle East that brings about the Second Coming of Christ, wherein all Muslims—and Jews, for that matter—either convert or face eternal damnation.”
Johnson, who holds ties to Israel’s far-right and was given a tour of Israel in 2020 by a “top settler,” told the crowd that Israel needs to press on because if it stops, it will cease to exist.
“Israel will cease their counteroffensive when Hamas ceases to be a threat to the Jewish state,” he said.
“I agree with our friend, Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu who said this is a battle between good versus evil, between light versus darkness, between civilization and barbarism. And we want to make absolutely clear where America stands in that fight, and we’ll continue to do that.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said clearly that Palestinians are not human beings, but rather human animals.
“They’re subhuman and that’s how they should be treated,” he said. “Eradicate the memory of Amalek, and never forget.”
Netanyahu has called the current war in Gaza a holy war and said during a recent press conference that Israelis would do well to remember “what Amalek has done to you.”
The New York Times, citing scholars, reported that the comment was meant as a call to exterminate their “men and women, children, and infants.”
Anti-Islam
On 31 December 2023, Al Jazeera reported that “Brazil is one of many countries facing increased fears about religious discrimination, particularly towards its Muslim community.”
“A survey released last month from the Anthropology Group on Islamic and Arab Contexts—an organization based at the University of São Paulo—found that reports of harassment among Muslim Brazilians have been widespread since the war began.
“An estimated 70 percent of respondents said they knew someone who experienced religious intolerance since October 7, when the Palestinian group Hamas launched an attack on southern Israel, killing 1,140 people.”
TRENDPOST: In 1996, Gerald Celente penned in his bestselling book, “Trends 2000,” his trend forecast that at the dawn of a new millennium a “Crusades 2000” will rage across the Middle East. (See Video.)
“Throughout the Muslim world devout masses, politically repressed and impoverished, were rising up against their endemically corrupt and inefficient secular governments with their pro-western alliances. Imperialism, directly or indirectly, took the blame for the poverty, the lack of opportunity, and the social and moral decay, which prompted Muslims in the region to look to ‘charismatic clerics’ to change their destiny.”
Celente also wrote in The Trends Journal in 2006: “swords are drawn, blood has been shed, Crusades 2000, the latest round in the 1,000-year battle between the West and Middle East for Holy Lands, trade routes, local riches, and religiosity is now being fiercely fought. But the media hasn’t named it and politicians insist upon calling it something else. And everyone forgets about the seeds of how the Crusades were born.”
Mark Damen, a history professor at Utah State University, summarized the Crusades that broke out during the High Middle Ages, between 1050 and 1300 CE.
He said the Crusades were “launched from Christian Europe against the peoples of the Near East. Sparked by a zeal to rid the Holy Lands of ‘infidels’—meaning Moslems primarily—only the First Crusade achieved any real or lasting success.”
Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) have every right to say what they like about Israel and the genocide of Palestinians as elected members of the US House of Representatives; they never took an oath to serve Israel . . .
I voted for Ron Desantis (R-FL) to be governor of Florida, not ambassador to Israel.
The recently ousted Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Congressman Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who took at least a dozen votes to get elected speaker, traveled to Israel immediately upon his election, declaring to the Israeli Knesset that the USA is steadfastly committed to supporting Ukraine in their war against Russia . . .
Was he running for speaker of the Israeli Knesset too?
Following his ouster . . . McCarthy (R-CA) traveled abroad again, this time to England, and expressed his open contempt for the white Republicans who make up the majority of the GOP and praised Democrats for their diversity during a debate at Oxford in the wake of his ouster as House Speaker . . .
Is he now running for the Prime Minister of the U.K.?
Nevertheless, he is free to go on media tours bashing white people and lobbying for Israel, because he has now resigned from the US House of Representatives . . . I can only conclude that the collective RINO butthurt over former Speaker McCarthy is all about the Israelis who have hijacked the American deep state war machine.
It has become so painfully obvious, especially where you have someone like Nikki Haley wagging her finger and shouting down Vivek Ramaswamy in a presidential debate on live national television when the questions of this Ukrainian war against Russia and any mention of Israel are concerned, that the United States government has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the American Israeli Political Action Committee.

Historical fact: no matter how much they tried for 200 years afterward, the crusaders never overcame the stigma of their massacre of the inhabitants of Jerusalem in 1099. The phrase "blood to the knees" entered into the local language and has remained there to this day.
