In modern times, war is never what it seems. Mainstream historians preach endlessly about grand conflicts over territory, resources, political impasse, and revenge, but the cold hard reality is that all of these “motivations” are actually secondary, if they are relevant at all. As I and many analysts have covered in great detail in the past, most wars are engineered wars. International elites have long seen advantages in pitting two seemingly opposed societies or ideologies against each other while playing both sides of the chessboard to direct events towards a predetermined and desired outcome. This is undeniable historical fact. If you really want to understand the past, or the intricacies of war, you will be lost unless you accept that most conflicts are designed; they are not random or natural.
They are not extensions of man's mere greed or ignorance. They are not products of resource scarcity (a common and overly simplistic misconception used to mislead activists). They are not inevitable developments of “overcomplexity” according to the Rand Corporation's “linchpin theory” propaganda. They are not the product of too much national sovereignty or individual liberty. No; traditional war is a tool for the organized ruling class. It always has been and always will be. This tool is used to turn the world into a vast petri dish, a bubbling beaker in a laboratory where social engineers hope to destroy the “old” to create something “new”.
At its most paramount of purposes, the despair and terror of war is intended to change the fundamental collective unconscious of nations and populations. It is meant to change our beliefs, our morals, our principles. It is meant to mutate us into something else, something malleable and terrible, something we would not normally recognize.
As we continue into the latter quarter of 2014, exactly 100 years after the first world war, I see much evidence to suggest we are headed for yet another engineered conflagration. It may be a war of terrorism and attrition between the U.S. and ISIS (an insurgency funded and trained by Western covert agencies). It may be a war of economic escalation between the West and the East (even though Russia is just as much a pawn of international banks like Goldman Sachs as any country in the West). Or, we may see all out global holocaust depending on the level of desperation and insecurity amongst the elites. What each liberty movement proponent, constitutionalist, and freedom fighter around the world needs to understand is that while we will be told that the enemy is Muslim extremism, or Russian aggression, or eastern economic subversion, the real target will be YOU.
The advantages of war at this time would be immense to the globalist establishment, but the primary function will be the ability to co-opt, demonize, and/or wipe out legitimate opposition during the fog and confusion. If you have ever noticed that each consecutive presidential administration seems progressively more hell-bent than the last to sabotage our infrastructure and push us towards endless confrontation, you might want to ponder the possibility that the New World Order does not end with the fall of the American empire - it BEGINS with the fall of the American empire.
Imagine a war in which a tangible and immediate threat is presented against the U.S. Not a CNN covered carpet bombing campaign in some poverty stricken hole on the other side of the world, but a real war right on our very own doorstep. Now, consider how this would psychologically affect the general public, and twist the principles of the average person. Imagine the kinds of morally relative impasses people would be willing to accept when they are truly afraid. Imagine what they would sacrifice to quell that fear. Imagine who they would sacrifice.
In such an environment, the concepts of free speech and personal dissent are rarely respected.
In war, dissent is often labeled treason, and free speech is labeled a peacetime privilege. The truth becomes a nuisance, or even a threat to the endurance of the state and by extension the collective. The same argument always arises – the argument that the survival of the group outweighs any disagreement the individual may have with the objectives of the group's leadership. In turn, calls for “unification” reach a religious fervor, regardless of whose benefit this unification ultimately serves.
In the meantime, those who were tolerated as activists now become enemies of the state simply for doing what they have always done. The propaganda is already being put in place to assure the liberty movement is caught in the crossfire between the East and West.
For years I have been warning readers about the false East/West paradigm and the directed build up to conflict with Russia and China with the goal of creating a rational historical narrative by which the dollar could be supplanted as the world reserve currency to make way for a long planned basket currency system under the control of the IMF and the Bank of International Settlements. During the crisis, Americans blame the East for the implosion of the dollar system rather than international and central bankers (the true culprits), and chaos ensues as the masses turn on each other while the elites sit back in relative comfort, letting us destroy each other.
Another aspect of this plan, I believe, involves the hijacking of the image of the liberty movement. The liberty movement is essentially the most dangerous unknown element on the elite's global chessboard. In fact, because we understand that international financiers and central bankers are the real enemy, we have the ability to leave the chessboard entirely and play by our own rules. Widespread economic or military conflict provides an opportunity to neutralize liberty activists who might turn revolutionary.
Recently, I came across an article from 'The Atlantic' titled 'Russia And The Menace Of Unreality'. Now, some alternative analysts would read this article and immediately shrug it off as yet another attempt by the Western media machine to propagandize against Russia. Though their motivations are genuine, these analysts would be cementing the delusion that Russia is the “good guy” and the U.S. is the ever present “bad guy”. The Atlantic piece is a far more intricate manipulation than they would be giving credit for.
In the past I have pointed out that Russian government funded media outlet RT in particular is in fact an ingenious psy-op, not only run by the Russian government as The Atlantic asserts, but influenced by the globalist establishment. It is effective mainly because most of what it reports is absolutely true. What it does NOT report is where we must focus. This might be confusing unless you grasp how false paradigms work. The conflict dynamic between the U.S. and Russia is no more real than the conflict dynamic between Democrats and Republicans. If you understand that this time around, America is scripted to lose its pro-wrestling match with Russia, everything else comes into focus. As far as RT is concerned, here's the problem:
1) First, RT is relentless in its coverage of corruption within Western governments, but rarely if ever reports anything negative on the Russian establishment. I'm sorry, but Russia's economic policy is dominated by central bankers who are advised directly by Goldman Sachs and who are avid members of the IMF and the BIS. The RDIF (Russian Direct Investment Fund), manages billions in investments in Russia, works closely with Goldman Sachs, and the managing director of this institution is former IMF head and SDR advocate Dominique Strauss-Kahn.
Vladimir Putin has openly called for the IMF's Special Drawing Rights basket currency to replace the dollar, demanded that Ukraine take loans from the IMF denominated in SDR's, and has a long time friendship with Mr. NWO himself, Henry Kissinger. The only “conflict” Russia has expressed with the globalists at the IMF is that it wishes to be more fully included in the SDR basket system, which has been the planned intention of the IMF anyway. All of this, and RT doesn't have any hard questions about the loyalties of its own government?
2) Second, the fact based reporting of RT, at least when it comes to the Western side of the globalist establishment, mimics the alternative journalism growing in popularity in the the U.S. At bottom, RT is a newcomer to the world of independent news analysis, but it is ultimately NOT independent, and most of what they do amounts to little more than regurgitated content from more original and insightful Western independent media sources. The Atlantic article above, very cleverly, makes it sound as if it is we witless writers in America who are getting all our info and inspiration from RT. And this is where we begin to see the true nature of the psy-op...
3) Third, because RT mimics our independent media so well, it appeals greatly to a large percentage of liberty movement activists, who tend to forget or are simply unaware that Russia is as much a part of the problem as our own government. There are many liberty proponents who will angrily defend Russia and RT without question simply because RT “speaks their language”, so Russia must be on their side.
This was not as pressing an issue two years ago, when conflict with Russia was a ridiculous notion for many people. But today, conflict with Russia, at the very least on an economic scale, is an inevitability. If you read in full the linked Atlantic article, the narrative that is being constructed is clear – the establishment hopes to rewrite the history and image of the liberty movement by painting us as dupes radicalized by Russian propaganda, rather than being the originators of our own grassroots movement with our own philosophy and methodology. Through this, they take away our ownership of our own cause.
Also, by blindly supporting Russia or the Russian government without considering their participation in the globalist run crisis, liberty activists help reinforce the soon-to-be manufactured lie that we are nothing but puppets of the Putin regime. If we publicly question the intentions of the Russian government as much as we question our own government, we can help to defuse this lie before it can take hold.
How the mainstream views us or portrays us is not as important as how we view and present ourselves. If we become starry-eyed cheerleaders for Russia, we will lose our sovereign identity as a self motivated counter-movement to the NWO. If you believe like I do that a second American revolution is coming, identity means everything, and it should not be cast aside lightly. Mark my words, one day our activism will be deemed treason, and our rebellion will be marginalized as a servant satellite astro-turf movement organized by Russian interests.
We can't prevent how they will label us, but we can make it clear now that we work for NO government, by refusing to disregard the trespasses of any government, even those who appear to support our position.
Tied closely to the Russian issue, the liberty movement also has the return of the “White Al-Qaeda” meme to look forward to. I have seen a tidal wave of mainstream news stories lately preaching the horrors of a white middle-class America secretly swarming to the Syrian border to join ISIS. The narrative is setting the stage for false flag terrorism, to be sure, but it is also injecting the theme that anyone who is anti-establishment could be a terrorist. Not an American bred “terrorist” with his own American-centric ideology fighting against what he sees as a despotic government, but a mercenary extremist desperate for any cause, latching onto the concept of Muslim caliphate because he is bewildered, angry, or insane.
In this way, the elites hope to kidnap the liberty culture's identity, rewriting us into their theater not even as “misguided” freedom fighters, but rather, as pawns of a foreign cabal. Many people could be convinced to join a fight by Americans for Americans, no matter how the mainstream portrays our character. But, no one wants to join a group of traitors and sellouts fighting for theocratic Muslim monsters, or covert Russian agencies after the East is blamed for the collapse of the dollar. The complete erasing and rewriting of a movement's identity through false association is advanced 4th generation warfare, and it can only be accomplished in the midst of overwhelming catastrophe. The masses have to be so afraid they begin to lose memory of what life was like before, let alone who stood for what cause.
The public is already quite familiar with the idea that governments buy revolutionaries and create rebellions, just as our government has done in Syria. Why wouldn't they believe that the Liberty Movement's rebellion is also actually bought and paid for by some outside enemy, rather than real Americans battling for real freedom?
This examination is not meant to undermine the positive accomplishments made so far by liberty advocates. We have come a long way. However, if we underestimate or oversimplify the task we have ahead of us, or the well calculated strategies of the internationalists, then we are destined to fall into the trap of becoming yet another element of another false paradigm ourselves, and we will lose. This is a war on all fronts; informational, emotional, intellectual, psychological, spiritual, and physical. It goes well beyond any war ever fought in generations past. If individuals and the activist movement at large do not have the insight and courage to commit fully to combat on every level, they should throw in their bug-out bags and give up now. If they do have the courage, then it is surely time to begin...

"Mr. NWO himself, Henry Kissinger"
Excellent tag line Brandon.
They rolled out that relic from the past onto PBS recently and he said "if we are to achieve a new world..." and then quickly reversed himself to say "a new order of things in the ME"
it was a genuine Freudian slip by old Dr. Death.
BTW, he looks terrible, his skin is turning black, but yet this is the guy they roll out to put fear into the public that ISIL is the new threat to peace and prosperity across the globe.
I think we should pay more attention to our politicians, and deep state actors like dr. death, than any external enemies they might want us to believe in.
One last thought:
how long can your way of life last, without oil?
if you can wrap your head around the fact that oil, and nothing else, is the most important subject the NWO clowns plan for, you will be able to understand world events, and not be influenced by MSM psyops.
written by Brandon Smith , September 17, 2014
@thought criminal
I think oil is of course an important part of global control, but most wars are not fought over it, despite common claims. The globalists control all the vital oil fields in the world already, except perhaps the Iranian fields. They don't need to wage war to get the petroleum they want. The oil issue is secondary to the psychological control issue. Wars are engineered to create distraction and despair followed by a great change in social principles. If the elites happen to consolidate more power over oil production, that's a bonus for them, but what they are really after is a dramatic change in the perceptions and attitudes of the masses. They want us to ASK them to rule over us. They want us to accept slavery as necessary. Otherwise, they have not truly won. This is what modern wars are really about.

Very well written article and insightful on what kind of
psy-ops we have to be on guard against. You are dead on
about RT and what they stand for. Almost like satan when he tempted eve in the garden, only given her half truths until she was deceived to the point of destruction.
And you are right about the liberty movement and patriots having to own it ourselves without outside interference or the perception that we are first influenced by other sources and not by our own original ideas.
The movement towards freedom and away from the states all controlling power will come from first the individual then the group of like minded individuals. There is a huge danger in listening to any source such as RT, CNN, MSMBC FOX ect. They all have agendas given to them by the powers that be. And that is to play everyone like a harp. Alternative news on the net is all I read or trust nowdays and they will cut all of that off at the first sign of trouble. So you better know whats gpoing on, and which side you'll stand on, before the only source you will get is the so called govt. news source when the hostilities break out.
Look how they have painted most everyone with the broad brush and label of "terrorist". If you are Christian, pro Constitutionalist, anti-abortion, pro second amendment, Ron Paul supporter, tea party, returning veteran, grow your own food, anti GMO, want secure borders, pay in cash, are home schooling, against common core, and I could go on and on,
If you find yourself supporting anything I just listed you are considered the enemy when things go down. So be ready to deal with it and not be surprised when you become a target of those you would think should protect you.

Brandon,
I am much pleased to read your excellent article on the inner workings of the uber-psyop. I spend time musing on the real inner game and making sense of the actions of the govermob. You are quite correct as to the potential targeting of liberty/anti-cabal movement as supporting fake foreign "terrorists". Anyone who prepared their household or gotten ready for a camping or hunting trip could be painted as "un-american" by the usurper regime.
The effort to counteract this potential lies in stealing the audience of the programming system by building alternative/online media to be more interesting than TV or movies. This requires a movement, strong alternative media coverage, and recognized leadership.
To your point about RT's ignoring Russian news and just bashing our overlords - too true, my friend. When I see Putin support common gun rights in Russia, I'll believe he is the patriot so presented.
written by John West , September 17, 2014
I agree that the patriot movement and people in general have come a long way regarding the waking up to these cabal banking elite's antics. I also agree that many may be caught up in the very complicated and extremely well done psy-op operation fomented by these tyrants. Putting trust in Russia or China at this point would be a great excuse for the District of Criminals to come down hard and brutal on the participating masses and look like hero's in doing so.
What would you think about a movement operating lawfully by bringing the dormant and lawful government forward from the Articles of Confederation with no talk of aligning with any other country, no talk of any sort of government coup, no talk of violent intentions, no talk of trespassing on the public side, etc.? This movement has already taken place and we have yet to hear from anyone that such is unlawful including the Pentagon or that our process of world notification is lacking validity or against international law, law of nations, or treaty law. The plan is to have this lawful government in place when or if the current government implodes and foreign entities such as the UN comes barreling in under the guise of keeping the peace which we all know will result in a civil war to where millions upon million of our people will perish. This lawful government laying in waiting will then provide a lawful platform for our military, militias, and Sheriffs, etc. to operate from and prevent any notion of treason or sedition if they decide to protect the people. We believe this is absolutely imperative to complement the work of the Oath Keepers in their quest of reminding these protectors that they should stand down when unlawful orders are handed down. These protector's upper command can now lawfully direct the rank and file in protecting the people.
In addition to The Hague notification of 11/29/2013, a full and complete notification package consisting of ten (10) original colony state’s documents ie: NH, NY, NJ, PA, MD, VA, NC, GA, SC, CT was sent to the Pentagon’s joint chiefs of staff on 11/29/2013 with a delivery confirmation of 12/03/2013. Two Pentagon officials were also sent copies of pertinent documents via 1st class mail with certificates of mailing. One of the two Pentagon officials was either part of the recent purging process or retired because his envelope was received by the Pentagon and stamped: CBR screened at Pentagon, #64 PFPA on December 16, 2013 and returned to sender. The second envelope of pertinent documents was addressed to Peter Verga of the Pentagon and assumed to be received.
To date, there has been no official reply received from the Pentagon and such a reply was not expected.
The bottom line is the fact that The united States of America has been lawfully brought forward under the Articles of Confederation of 11/15/1777. This brought forward confederation in perpetual union has a lawful quorum of at least nine (9) of the original thirteen (13) original colony states to operate government from on a limited basis. The remaining colony states need to be brought forward in order for congress to be lawfully convened. Once congress is lawfully convened, the remaining 37 territory states can then be brought into the confederation under a process passed unanimously by the congress.
The people now need MA, RI, and DE to be brought forward to the confederation. There needs to be a minimum of five (5) people per state to assemble and participate in performing the task at hand. MA and RI has allegedly completed their paperwork and have decided not to join in with the current ten (10) states of the confederation. Remember, it took from 11/15/1777 to 03/01/1781 before the final colony state of MD was brought forward into confederation to enable final ratification.

Brandon Smith is very worth reading, as he leads in questioning the possibly fake 'opposition hero' Vlad Putin and related items such as Russia's useful - but yet inadequate and troublingly ambiguous - RT news. Quite a good point to note that RT is often 'recycling' Western 'alternative' pundits, often speaking on amateurish home 'pc camera plus skype' - type hook-ups. State-funded RT cannot afford anything better? Ha!
However, some subtleties are being missed re Russia, particularly evident in the utterly dramatic early September statement of Putin's parliamentary ally, Evgeny Fedorov ... we may shortly see some dramatic actions from Putin that may shortly show Brandon Smith to be wrong ... (or, a lack of actions which will evidence Brandon to be right!) ...
We need to understand that tho Putin is the biggest fish in that pond, Russia is not a Putin-run autocracy (that is a Western myth, fallacious tho understandable) ... Putin has been arguably biding his time under immense pressure, including several assassination attempts ... It seems Putin has run a 15-year-long game to handle his in-house oligarch cabal which is indeed NWO ... and Putin has pretended to play along, out of sheer survival need ... but if Fedorov, Putin's ally, is correct ... Brandon Smith will be shortly shown wrong about the 'Putin is NWO' theory.
Supporting Brandon Smith's view, certainly, is the Ukraine mess ... a good piece of evidence that Henry Kissinger's 'pal' Vlad Putin is NWO ... Putin's fans are horrified / mystified why he did not do the logical thing and move the military in after the 2 May Odessa massacre, with thugs from the putchist Kiev government burning Russians alive and horribly strangling a pregnant woman to death. Since then there are maybe more than 20,000 dead in East Ukraine, which could have been avoided if Putin rolled the tanks back in May, which he had every right to do. 'Sanctions' were coming anyway, so why didn't Putin secure East Ukraine and protect its Russians, like he did in Crimea? - Now Ukraine seems another bloody, chaos-filled failed state, NWO-style, like Libya or Iraq.
We also have a coming show-down in Syria, as Obama starts to bomb there ... if Putin lets Assad fall and fails to oppose the US, that is more - and maybe devastating proof - Putin is NWO.
However ... The astonishing 3 September interview of Russian Duma (Parliament) Deputy Evgeny Fedorov, seems to be pre-staging radical new actions by Vladimir Putin himself, and this may be the key to understanding Putin, Russia, and Ukraine / Novorossiya ... and how Putin and his partners will shortly devastatingly defeat the USA - and NWO! - in their Kiev adventure.
Summary of what is said and implied in Fedorov's video 'The Purge is Coming' (video link, with English subtitles, is below)
(1) Over the last 15 years, Putin has never been more than half in control in Russia. In fact, Putin has been every day, risking his own life, and fighting for survival of himself and Russian patriots, in an utterly difficult and dangerous management of traitorous NWO oligarch elements tied to the West and the USA - Russia's '5th column' of people who raped Russia nearly to extinction in the 1990s. Putin's actions are in fact continually tied and limited by the ongoing powers of that group. Putin's confident attitude, and many successes, mask the continual real danger to himself and Russian patriots, a danger peaking in these last few months. Notably, Russia's media, such as RT, are said to be largely in the hands of the '5th column' NWO traitor cabal in Russia ... hence the weakness of RT in confronting the Kiev regime crimes in Ukraine, and RT's increasingly more timid approach to the West.
(2) Because of that 5th column of Russian traitors, Putin is in fact not guilty of betraying the Donbass (East Ukraine / Novorossiya), by his refusal to go in militarily to prevent thousands of Russians being killed ... nor is that refusal some tactic / strategy of Putin, sacrificing some thousands of Russian lives to achieve wider goals. It is rather that Putin has been unable to act as he and Russian patriots like Igor Strelkov have wished, in these months when Russia's traitors are at their most aggressive, as Russia itself risked being delivered into traitor hands, if Putin acted before the traitors are neutered.
(3) But it is a supreme irony of the US-Nato led attacks in Ukraine, that while being the most dangerous modern moment for Russia since the early 1990s, that these attacks, and the heroism of Donbass militia in countering them, are ultimately providing the means by which Russian patriots are consolidating, and enabling defeat of the traitors inside Russia, and also the winning back of Ukraine as Russian and Russian-friendly territory.
(4) For Russians in general, and not only in Donbass, Ukraine is part of Russia, and so the attacks by Nato forces present in Ukraine, are making Russians see and feel they are now being invaded on their home territory. This is arousing the historic Russian will of resistance which will soon shake the whole world. The thousands of Russians tragically dead in Donbass will not have died in vain, but are rather heroes in a world-historical battle that ultimately saves Russia, and collapses the influence of NWO and US-oligarch attackers.
(5) Similarly, even Russian oligarchs and societal sectors who had been fellow travellers to the West, now see they are just dirt to USA & the West, and that they must align with Russian patriots if they are to survive at all. Only the truly corrupt and fools in Russia, will remain aligned with the West and its NWO.
(6) With the rapid consolidation of Russians around the patriots and against 5th column traitors, and even former servants of the West at last seeing the light, the stage is nearly ready for what must happen - a dramatic, rapid purge of Russia's 5th column NWO traitors, a purge necessarily outside the bounds of Russia's Western-imposed Constitution, but acting fully for the benefit of the Russian people, who will have at last a government fully of themselves instead of partly by rapacious outsiders.
(7) The purge will not be a purge of 'personal' vendettas, as of one oligarch against another, but rather a structural purge of those against the interests of the Russian people, a purge of those who blocked the defence of the heroes of Donbass. It is well-understood that the purge will involve cutting off the economic tentacles by which the US-West oligarchs have been able to suborn and control elements of the Russian economy, impeding it from giving jobs and shared wealth to Russians. Post-Purge Russia will have an economy at last truly independent of US-Nato and its attempted New World Order.
(8) After the purge, Russian soldiers will roll into Kiev, and fight with and repulse all Nato thugs on Ukraine's territory. We will also see and know the real Vladimir Putin, how he anguished over the thousands of Donbass dead in the preceding months, and how he and Russian patriots were forced to wait until the right moment to strike against the traitors who blocked him. And we will have a new, consolidated Russia ... definitely NOT 'New World Order'.
Is this all wishful thinking by Fedorov, Putin's close ally? ... In any case we will know by events to take place in the near future, not long from now.

Kudos for another of your perceptive articles.
The us/them, left/right, East/West, thesis/antithesis, problem/reaction trick to manipulate the masses is an old one. It is no testament to the supposed superiority of modern man that modern man still falls for the trick.
The farthest back in history that I can document the trick codified is in the work of the Kabbalistic rabbis concerning the pillars of gevurah (severity, strength), chesed (mercy), and tiferet (harmony)... and the Master Race banksters still shift the policies of left and right so the "moderates" know where to stand... until the pillars shift yet again.
Compare the platform of 1930's Communists with today's "conservative," abortion-friendly, welfare-state-friendly Republicans and you will begin to see, though it has been gradual, how horrible the slide into diabolical tyranny.

Brandon, I have a legitimate question. This is not provocation or trolling in anyway. I'm a 46 y/o who spent much of his life's spare time studying history in every way possible with only one intention: understand how the world ticks.
I, like everybody, was taught to think the idea of a "Jewish conspiracy" was nut stuff. Yet, the more I seem to dig, under every rock turned appears one. You know the role of international finance in our last few centuries of misery and thus certainly know who owns it... Everywhere you look at movements trying to break our old way of life, you find Jews leading the charge again (media, the left, pornography, communism, globalism, etc). Of course not ALL Jews participate actively in this but certainly within the Jewish people there appears to be a portion that wants us destroyed. Call them Zionists or Supremacists it doesn't matter what we call them.
I'm aware also that the scumbags that are running us into the wall are not ALL Jews either. And I don't pretend to have figured everything out and certainly don't pretend to show answers and cures.
I've been reading you for a while and I know you don't share my conclusions. I respect that. But then how do YOU wrap your mind around the whole picture? What is the common denominator out there according to you?

Historically BIG MONEY has always bought off BIG GOVERNMENT to the detriment of decent men. "Free trade" is a fantasy. Monopolies and cronyism are the reality of capitalism.
When faced with the evidence, disciples of "Austrian" (read "Judaic") economics remind me of Communist professors who insist that "The only problem with Communism is that it hasn't really been tried yet." The tribe suckered the world with their Communist economics. The tribe suckered the world with their monopolistic and usurious capitalist economics. Now the tribe wants to sucker the world with "Austrian" free market do-what-thou-wilt-shall-be-the-whole-of-the-law economics.
Delusional rubbish devoid of any understanding of fallen human nature. "Evolved," you say? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha....... How many times will you let the tribe sucker you? Will you ever learn?

I think you are confused. We haven't had free markets for over 100 years, so you have no tangible evidence to back your criticisms, only naive assumptions. How does Austrian economics have ANYTHING to do with communism, or the argument for communism? The comparison is odd and rather dishonest. Communism is about centralized state control. Austrian economics is about decentralization and individual choice in currency and business and has no relation to crony capitalism. The two philosophies are completely opposite.
On top of that, show me where Austrian economics is gaining ANY positive mainstream influence or attention. The "tribe" hates the idea of true free markets because they do not allow for control of the population. The method has been suppressed for decades because it is the anti-thesis to collectivist economics. Communism has been tried OVER AND OVER and has consistently failed. Free markets are always successful until government intervenes and gives preference to the elitist corporate world, which is, again, the opposite of free markets.
Either you let people trade freely, or you attempt to control them. There is no in-between method, and anyone who claims there is is most likely selling some snake oil.

I really don't see how you can picture laissez-faire as a proper way to manage an economy. I'm not talking about a fully centralized economy, but the game must be contained with rules, and those rules must be enforced.
Why?
Because in poker for one example, the largest stack has an edge on every other player, see what I mean? Allowing the economic game to play out fully by itself promessss nothing but an agletation of capital into a few hands. This "law of economic nature" has to be equilibrated by rules that insures everyone equal opportunities. This has nothing to do with wealth redistribution or welfare-for-all nor government subsidies or corporate favors.

Hi Brandon
do you have any interest to a french translation ? For Canadian, African and European french speakers if you have french followers
I follow you from France searching foreign dissident opinion to improve my understanding of the real world.
Here situatio is very sad for peaople. Hollande (but before Sarkozy was too) are fully Atlantist against majority of French people. And presstitute have all power to put anti-putin propaganda in our heads. There is no more official alternative press out of the web. People watching television (majority of us) have no way to understand what's going on really with bloody russian and islamics as read carpet in front of the screen permanently, hatred, fears, etc ...
So dissidence is pro putin in reaction to our oligarchy b but have no ideas of what real russia is including reality of russia political power. RT is translated. Only Pierre Hillard is warning about underground links between Putin and banksters.
Thanks for your analysis. I was doubtful at the begining but convinced now and I follow specifically oil market too (I translate also Gail Tverberg on peakoil / search peakoil telagramme traductions on google, direct link i sbanned) to understand real links out of social engineering (ex : russian artic project with US oil companies ...). Follow the money :-)

Very well thought out and constructed. I'm an activist writer and I wrote one a few years ago RT latched on to, to the point where I ended up giving two live video interviews. I rue the day now, (have for a few years now as RT's mission / role has become clear to me).
Keep up such sharp thinking.

@Stef
Austrian economics is not about a free-for-all environment. I don't know why people seem to think that. In fact, abusive corporations would not even exist under Austrian economics, because the concept of "corporate persons" and limited liability would disappear. Therefore, when the CEO of a company makes a decision to dump chemicals in a river to save money, the company does not get sued, the CEO actually GOES TO JAIL, for a long time. More government control of business has only led to more abusive business practices. Government interference benefits the elites, and destroys small business owners. Critics of Austrian economics consistently forget that government managed economy has LED us to the exact state of corruption in business they assume free-markets would lead to. Show me how government run and micro-managed business has improved anything. We haven't had true free markets for at least 100 years, after all...

Brandon,
How do we re-introduce the concept of free markets?
So many businesses (most certainly the heavily regulated ones) draw sustenance from government contracts, legal protections concocted by government, etc. So many individuals want their handout (and would never grasp that the hand that gives is above the hand that takes or, less charitably, that they are knee bending supplicants wearing chains).
Both the left and right would fight against free markets as restoring any semblance of common sense, fairness, justice, and competition would strip them of their preferential status at the trough of government largesse.
Maybe someone is already broaching the ideas necessary for restoring free markets, maybe it is a combination of the ideas and thoughts already expounded upon by everyone that had a clue for the last 500 years about the what the role of the state, religion, and government should be IF the rights of the individual were held higher than the needs of the many.
Of course, the rights (not collectively defined) of the individual being above the needs of the many as long as the many are not deprived of their rights (not collectively defined) is pretty revolutionary stuff.

@Observer
One of the goals of Alt-Market is to promote the idea of localized economy using barter and sound money. I still believe that is the only way to reintroduce free markets; from the ground up. It really starts with individuals trading with their neighbors and doing business with each other, and subverting the interference of government while refusing to participate in the corporatized markets. Of course, you can't have localized trade and barter unless people actually have useful skills and produce useful goods and services. This is where America has become extremely weak. Most citizens do NOT have any useful skills to speak of. Until this is changed, there can be no localized trade, and there can be no return to free markets.

@Curious Mind
I think it's important to point out the distinction between Zionism and Judaism. Zionism is an extremist political movement, and has little or nothing directly to do with the Jewish community as a whole. Zionism was launched by British covert intelligence and many non-jews consider themselves zionists.
Also, what the white-identity folks and others don't seem to comprehend when they are listing off all the bankers of Jewish descent is that these men are only Jewish by birth. They have NO religious affiliations with Judaism as a whole, and they are actually occultists. In fact, the elites are just as keen on destroying jewish people as they are to destroy Christians and Muslims. They have no loyalties or affiliations to any one culture or religion. That is why it is absurd when certain people make such broad claims that the whole thing is a "Jewish Conspiracy". Utter nonsense. Most Jewish people are victims of the elites, just like the rest of us.

Dissent in war time is definitely punishable with prison time and possibly even death. The definition of when a crisis becomes a war is deliberately vague. TPTB know a collapse is coming and have installed mass surveillance and complied dossiers on everyone, so dissenters can expect to be rounded up and imprisoned just when dissent would be at its most effective.
Do you ever worry about SWAT teams at dawn? I know I do.

As always, your insight (and sourced links to help with that insight) is brilliant and frankly in my opinion spot on.
It has been getting difficult on those fronts you mention in the last paragraph. I've always sort of looked at it all as flak, but it has been getting harder and harder with each new "boogeyman" that is thrown out there. The thought, any port in the storm comes to mind.
Through the exhaustion of not only "prepping", in our case just changing and living the homestead type lifestyle on severely restricted income, (which is getting worse with each passing month and that so called "noise" of no inflation) there is also that daily check in to site's like yours, zero and others to keep a pulse on the final trigger of potential collapse time.
To be made more aware of all the heavy, heavy pysop on top of this exhaustion ( it gets heavy) is rather like a godsend. I've always been careful not to fall fully for the propaganda, do my research but...that port in the storm again...comes into play sometimes. I really appreciate the likes of your article and at this exact time, at least for me.
Always excellent, full of wisdom and rather timely. Thank you.

I have been proclaiming to other libertarians for a long time to stop talking like Russia does no wrong and the CIA is required for pushing back at socialist and leftist tyrants. That is a buy-in to the Elites' Press releases where neo-con meets neo-lib.
It's a reason I think Paul Craig Roberts needs a big dose of loud repudiation of some of his points. I heard from his own mouth say on the Michael Savage show, for instance, that Russia has "absolutely no designs whatsoever" in expanding its power or influence.
When asked what he would say to people who say he's a tool of Russia, he pulled out his Ronald Reagan credentials, and claims he's been called a "Reagan right-wing" something.
That guy was CLUELESS on the developments in my wife's country of Honduras during 2009. Or probably more like willfully ignorant. Hondurans did not need the CIA to push back, they did NOT want to be another Cuba or Venezuela, who the hell thinks they want that, except "useful idiots" that are so Pavloved out of their minds that they think Chavez is the perfect saviour for the poor?
Even in Chile, where people are clueless about Allende's mess, where the exasperated Congress, with Allende dictating like their legislation did not exist, and not having an impeachment procedure in their constitution, finally voted to DEMAND that the military intervene and stop him.

I would make a slight correction to this title:
... and try to divide people on ethnic lines.
Because this is what they do best. An intestinal civil war based on ethnic lines will allow them to hide and escape easily. Be wary of this.
