I’ve been saying this for a long time, and I’ll say it again here — in life there are only two kinds of people: those who know and those who don’t. Some might claim there is a third option: those who don’t want to know. In any case, if you want to be able to foresee geopolitical and social trends, you have to be one of the people who know.
Above all else, in order to know you must be willing to step outside of the confusion and theater of the circus and look at developments from above. If you are biased and retain too many sacred cows you will never understand how the world works. You will be too busy trying to reinforce your own fantasies to see anything else.
Beyond this, you must also understand that political and social developments are not random; they are either reactions to deliberate policies of special interests or they are driven by policies of special interests. Therefore, these developments are predictable and can be calculated (to a point).
I usually refer to these “special interests” as global elites, or globalists, because that is how they often refer to themselves. The point is, most of the events you see in the political world are engineered events designed to elicit a specific psychological response from you and the people around you. You are not a human being to these people; you are either an asset to be molded or an obstacle to be disposed of. This is how our world works. Period. And until we fully understand this and accept it, things will never change.
So, to be clear, if you understand the minds of globalists and understand what they want, you can understand the basic direction of the future.
It is this philosophy which has allowed me to consistently and accurately predict geopolitical and economic events that very few other people have been able to predict. For example, I correctly predicted the Federal Reserve taper of QE, I predicted the inclusion of China in the IMF’s Special Drawing Rights years in advance, I predicted the exact timing of the first Fed rate hike, I predicted the success of the Brexit referendum when most of the world and the liberty movement said it was never going to happen, I predicted that the Saudi 9/11 bill would pass, that Barack Obama would veto it and that congress would override his veto, I predicted that Hillary Clinton would be the Democratic candidate and that Donald Trump would be the Republican candidate for president of the U.S. and, for the past five months, I have been predicting that Donald Trump would win the 2016 election.
People can either attribute these series of successful predictions to pure “luck,” or they can consider the possibility that I know what I am talking about. I’ll leave that to them.
The real issue, though, is not that my predictions were correct. What is more important is WHY they were correct. To begin with, I am often correct because it is a fact that globalists influence events. Globalists are human (at least partially); thus, they are predictable, making events predictable. If you can see from the perspective of a globalist, you will know what they want and what they are likely to do to get it.
In a world without globalists I would have a hard time successfully predicting anything.
I never make a cold prediction without a concrete rationale for why I hold that view. I always break down the reasons and evidence that bring sense to them. Some analysts might be content to simply flip a coin and make a call without explanation; I am not.
As far as the Trump election win is concerned, this is what I said in June of this year:
“In light of the Brexit I’m going to have to call it here and now and predict that the most likely scenario for elections will be a Trump presidency. Trump has consistently warned of a recession during his campaign and with the Brexit dragging markets lower over the next few months, he will probably be proven “prophetic.”
… Even if Trump is a legitimate anti-establishment conservative, his entry into the Oval Office will seal the deal on the economic collapse, and will serve the globalists well. The international banks need only pull the plug on any remaining life support to the existing market system and allow it to fully implode, all while blaming Trump and his conservative supporters.
The mainstream media has been consistently comparing Trump supporters to Brexit supporters, and Trump himself has hitched his political wagon to the Brexit. This fits perfectly with the globalist narrative that populists and conservatives are killing the global economy and placing everyone at risk.”
All of my predictions are rooted in a particular premise; that the global elites have been, since 2008 at least, deliberately setting the stage for an evolving international financial crisis greater than any other seen in modern history. This crisis is a means to an end. Globalists use one strategy above all others to achieve their goals — the Hegelian Dialectic; problem, reaction, solution.
As I have documented for years, the elites openly call for the ultimate eradication of national sovereignty and the formation of a single world economy, a single world currency and, eventually, a single world government. In order to make this omelet, they intend to break a few eggs (and collapse a few economies). By blaming "national sovereignty" (and the people that defend it) for this crisis, they hope to convince the masses that the only practical solution is total centralization. You can read my in-depth analysis and evidence of this in my article “The Economic End Game Explained.”
I also specifically predicted the Brexit and the Trump win based on another premise; that the elites are allowing conservative movements to take political power in certain regions, only to remove stimulus support from the global economy afterward. That is to say, I successfully predicted the Brexit and the Trump win because I understand and accept the reality that conservatives and liberty activists are not “winning;” we are being set up as scapegoats for a financial crash that the globalists already created.
Again, people can either say I am lucky, or that there is something to my position, but the fact of the matter is I have been right and I will probably continue to be right. This brings us to what will happen going into 2017.
The election of Donald Trump signals a sea change in not only global politics, but more importantly, global economic stability and social developments. As frenetic and insane as 2016 has been, 2017 will be drastically more chaotic. Some of these changes will be obvious, some of them will once again only be visible to a handful of people in the world. Lets start first with my happier predictions…
The Death Of The Mainstream Media
This is an easy one. The mainstream media, with its insane regressive-progressives and elitist bias, misrepresented the “Alt-Right,” the Trump campaign and anti-social justice movements during the entirety of the election process. Not only this, but through Wikileaks the leftist media was made naked as numerous journalists and outlets were exposed; colluding directly with the DNC and the Hillary campaign to first bushwhack Bernie Sanders and then rig debates and polling numbers to show Clinton in a farcically superior position to Trump.
The mainstream media is now seen by the majority of Americans on the left and right as a lumbering rotting propaganda corpse that needs to be decapitated before it spreads its disease to anyone else. I predict MSM outlet readership and viewership (with the exception of FOX News) will collapse even further than it already has and that many outlets will be forced to consolidate until they fade out of existence.
As I have said for years, the mainstream media is dead, they just don’t know it yet. Well, after this election, everyone knows. The alternative media will take the place of the mainstream media. We will be adopting their viewership and growing explosively over the next year while they shrivel.
They decided that their job was not to report the facts, but to manipulate public opinion. They are liars and a disgrace to true journalism. Good riddance.
That said, some people will argue that my position that the elites wanted a Trump presidency is not tenable exactly because the liberal media worked so hard to rig public opinion against Trump. I will explain in my next article why these people are missing the bigger picture.
The Crippling Of Social Justice Warriors
The SJW cult is not dead, but it has been crippled. It is now a drooling bedridden quadriplegic eating its meals through a straw; a malfunctioning shell of a movement destined to be put out of its misery.
When I think of social justice warriors I think of the Island of Misfit Toys; nobody wants these people. They are a detriment to everything they touch, including the Democratic party. It was the zealotry of SJWs that caused conservatives to rally in anger around Trump. It was they that awakened the sleeping giant.
One reason I was so certain Clinton had set herself up for a loss was her insistence that the Democrats openly adopt these hell spawn and their ideology. By embracing politically correct rhetoric and accusing all opposition of being “deplorable” racists, sexists and homophobes, Clinton doomed her campaign from the very beginning. Anyone with any sense could see the massive tide against SJWs growing on the internet. In fact, I propose that the globalists, using the advanced web analytics at their disposal, saw it even before the rest of us did.
SJWs are a tiny minority in American society. Their only strategy has been to use Alinsky tactics to make their movement appear much larger than it really is. Through mutual aid and elitist supporters in popular media, SJWs presented a fabricated consensus. They made it seem as though they were the majority view and, thus, the "superior" view.
One fantastic result of the 2016 election has been the realization by conservatives that they are not isolated on the fringes of society. In fact, in America at least, we are a considerable force to be reckoned with. There is an old story of a Roman Senator 2,000 years ago who suggested the idea of forcing slaves to wear armbands to make them easily identifiable. Another senator admonished the notion, stating “No, if they realize how many of them there really are, they may revolt.”
This is what Election 2016 did for conservatives — we have seen that millions of us have arm bands, and we are now in revolt.
I rarely comment on race issues because I don’t really see race as very relevant in most cases; but it has been the tactic of social justice cultists to constantly and brutally target straight white males as the monsters of history and therefore responsible for the ills and failures of every minority group from today to eternity. At this point I think it is safe to say that we will NO LONGER sit idly by as whipping boys for sad, deluded people clamoring for victim group status.
The End Of Mainstream Polling
I was also confident in my prediction of a Trump win based on my knowledge of inconsistencies in modern polling methods. The fact of the matter is, polling suffers from the same lack of objectivity that any other “science” can at times suffer from — the results will always be vulnerable to influence from the observer. If the observer wants a particular outcome for the numbers, they will consciously or unconsciously rig their method to produce the desired result.
I saw this happen time and time again during the Brexit polls leading up to the referendum, and, as I stated many times before the U.S. election, the campaign polls seemed to be behaving the same way. This is how you get media sources like Reuters claiming a 90 percent chance of a win by Hillary Clinton just before the election. When pollsters weight their polls with far more democrats than republicans and when they poll the same groups repeatedly they are not going to get varied or honest data.
In the end, polls become propaganda tools rather than litmus tests. The mainstream has tried desperately to explain why their polls were so utterly wrong, but it is too late for them. After the Brexit and the U.S. election, no one is going to trust these numbers again.
Liberty Groups Will Get Some Breathing Room (For A Little While)
The steady drum beat of government antagonism for “patriot groups” is probably going to subside for a short time. I happen to know that many militia groups and preparedness networks are breathing a heavy sigh of relief today after eight years of a hostile Obama presidency, the IRS sniping at liberty organizations and individual activists based purely on political zealotry, the DHS profiling liberty activists as terrorists and the SPLC frothing at the mouth like rabid animals looking to use their ties to the feds as a means to sink their teeth into any conservatives with the guts to refuse participation in the mainstream narrative.
With conservatives launching into 2017 with complete control of government and a Trump mandate, it would seem that liberty groups have “won the fight” and have nothing to worry about.
That said, don’t get too comfortable, folks, because now we are going to discuss my negative predictions going into next year…
The Final Stage Of Economic Collapse
Economic collapse is a process, not a singular event; stock markets play only a minor part in this process. Most Americans’ only relation to the economy is through the daily rise and fall of the Dow Jones. If they see the Dow in the green, they go on with their day. If they see the Dow in the red, they stop and question what is happening. The election of Donald Trump has surprised many with a sudden rise, rather than fall, in stock markets. But, as I told my readers before the election, it would be wise to wait a couple of weeks before trying to analyze these markets because that is how long it will take just to absorb the election results.
I predict first that central banks around the globe will further cut stimulus measures and that the Fed is now guaranteed to raise interest rates, probably in December before Trump even enters the White House. I also believe that the process of initiating a market crisis will take approximately six months to become widely visible to the public. As a consequence of the Fed pulling the plug on markets, I predict Trump and the Fed will enter into open hostilities against each other, which will erode international faith in the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency.
By extension, Trump’s presence in the White House will exacerbate already-existing tensions with Saudi Arabia. The Saudi 9/11 bill is just the beginning. As a result, I believe Saudi Arabia will dump the U.S. dollar as the petro-currency, influencing numerous other OPEC nations to do the same. I believe this will happen by early 2018.
In my view, for now, oil prices will be the best indicator for where stocks are headed in the next few months.
This is not something many Trump supporters want to hear. The response in the liberty movement to my prediction that the elites would allow Trump into office was rather predictable as well. In my article 'Why The U.S. Election Has The Entire World Confused' I stated:
“I have not taken this position just to be contrary. If I think about it honestly, my position is truly a losing position. If I am mistaken and Clinton wins on the 8th then I’ll probably never hear the end of it, but that’s a risk that has to be taken, because what I see here is a move on the chess board that others are not considering. If I’m wrong, then I’m wrong.
That said, if I am right, then I still lose, because Trump supporters and half the liberty movement will be so enraptured that they will probably ignore the greater issue — that Trump is the candidate the elites wanted all along.”
This seems to be the reaction from about half the liberty movement so far; a general blind faith and bias, clinging to the idea that the election (just like the Brexit) was a victory, and that conservatives had just won the culture war and defeated the globalists. It’s funny how it wasn’t much of a controversy when everyone thought I was wrong about Trump winning in the first place.
There are two primary arguments that come up with these people. First, that my view on the influence of the elites is “unrealistic” and that the elites would have to be “omnipotent” in order to succeed in directing the outcome of these events so effectively. I will address this argument in detail in my next article on the Trump presidency and what the consequences will be for us all if Trump turns out not to be a constitutionalist.
The second argument they present is that the elites “will never succeed” in blaming Trump and conservatives for an economic crisis that was decades in the making. To the people that embrace this argument I say — I understand mass psychology far better than you do.
The reality is, half of America is ALREADY primed to blame Trump for everything that happens over the next four years (if we even make it that long). Possession is nine-tenths of the law in the minds of many. Beyond that, every meme in the global media and on the left is promoting the idea that Trump is an apocalypse in the making. Even Germany’s 'Der Spiegal' published its after-election magazine with a cover depicting Trump’s head as a giant comet hurtling towards the Earth. Don’t tell me that Trump cannot be blamed for an economic crisis. Only a complete idiot would suggest that he is anything other than the perfect scapegoat.
At bottom, it does not matter whether people believe the above predictions or not. I have hundreds of emails from readers who called me a “tinfoil hatter” in the past and are now apologizing. So, if you plan to react in a knee-jerk fashion to the notion that Trump and conservatives are being set up by the elites for a final financial flagellation, be sure to write two letters — one for today saying I’ve lost touch, and the other for tomorrow when you find out I was right once again.

Great article, however...
Soros' plan to cause riots in Democratic leaning cities is gaining traction in alternative media and even to an extent, the MSM. Are you saying these planned protests are also a plan of the globalists to make us think that the globalists are losing their grip on controlling the masses? Or, Soros is not a globalist?
Simply put, how do you explain these protests in light of the globalist agenda? Why fund riots if everything is going hunky dory according to their "master plan"?
written by Brandon Smith , November 16, 2016
@Nikki
The protests are AGAINST a supposedly nationalist president elect. Why would they suggest that the globalists are "losing their grip" on controlling the masses?
Riots by leftists converting from social justice to full blown communist mobs plays RIGHT INTO the globalists' hands. They perpetuate the narrative that nationalists are causing accelerating chaos. For those on the right, they perpetuate the narrative that the globalists are sabotaging Trump - which I believe Trump will use as a rationale for martial law. The globalists play BOTH sides of every conflict. The only side that has not been accounted for yet is the liberty movement. If Trump initiates martial law measures and we support that, then we will be co-opted too.

Brandon in our culture which is thousands of years old we often use the following proverb and I found this English translation randomly on internet . I would put you in the fourth position :
“He who knows not and knows not he knows not: he is a fool - shun him. He who knows not and knows he knows not: he is simple - teach him. He who knows and knows not he knows: he is asleep - wake him. He who knows and knows he knows: he is wise - follow him.”

Enjoyed your article Brandon.
It seems to me that the mainstream media is becoming an expendable asset to the globalist elites. Many outlets around the world now charge a fee just to view their content. The Guardian in the UK is the latest one by becoming a 'supporter' for £5 a month. This is their strap line:
"Our unique ownership structure means no one can tell us to censor or drop a story.
But it’s difficult and expensive work. While more people are reading the Guardian than ever before, far fewer are paying for it. And advertising revenues across the media are falling fast."
If the mainstream is dying and the alternative media begins to take its place, there's surely a massive danger that alternative outlets will be co-opted and utilized to assist the globalists rather than harm them. Do you think it's possible that the alt media is in some regard being set up? I say that because for alternative media to remain independent from the mainstream, it cannot become what we have today which is a monopoly owned by just six major corporations.
Globalists direct to a large degree the narrative that plays out in the mainstream. How do you think they will balance the breakdown of mainstream media with the rise of the alternative?
Moving on to central banks, the ECB decide next month on their next round of monetary stimulus. The current program ends in March 2017. I think they will extend the stimulus measures rather than tapering them, given that Trump is not yet in office and that they will not want to be blamed directly for making a decision that impacts negatively on the market.
Having said that, Jens Weidmann of the Bundesbank has been openly saying for months that central bank monetary stimulus cannot go on at its current rate, and that fiscal policy must take a greater role. Just the other day Peter Schiff put up an audio blog about how fiscal stimulus is now impossible without monetary stimulus to finance it.
Others are talking about the possibility of 'helicopter money' and QE4. I don't see either becoming a reality given the language coming from the likes of Weidmann. What do you think?

What if DJT knows what you know? What if he is more than you think, with a higher calling than you might have considered? What if he sees himself as the chess-master challenger to all you've described? After all, the man just came through the ironman of politics numero uno...via his wit, his instincts, his alpha-male warrior intellect and determination. What if...?

@Steven
"If the mainstream is dying and the alternative media begins to take its place, there's surely a massive danger that alternative outlets will be co-opted and utilized to assist the globalists rather than harm them."
This is EXACTLY what I will be discussing in my next article, along with some other issues involving the potential co-option of the liberty movement.
As far as stimulus, I think the ECB will taper. Europe has their own "populist" movements and Brexit to scapegoat for the market crisis that follows.
I think it is possible that certain central banks will turn to hyperinflation, but not until after a severe market crisis has run it's course. They want people to DEMAND central bank intervention. Of course, at that point, the IMF will be pushing the SDR basket as a bridge to a single centralized global economy.

@shutupnsing
Wishful thinking. He's no Ron Paul, that is certain. Also, if he is aware, even the president of the U.S. has no power whatsoever to stop the currently escalating economic downturn. He can do nothing but sit there and watch it happen and be blamed for it. No amount of public works programs or internal federal investigations are going to defeat basic mathematics.
Also, Trump "won" because he was allowed to win. It's as simple as that. If the elites didn't want him where he is, they would have booted him from the RNC just like they did to Ron Paul, and just like the DNC did to Bernie Sanders.

It's quite clear that Trump is not anti-globalist and also not conservative like many people claim he is. He did a Op-Ed for CNN back in 2013 where he was practically promoting globalism.
"We will have to leave borders behind and go for global unity when it comes to financial stability."
http://edition.cnn.com/2013/01/22/business/opinion-donald-trump-europe/
That's quite an interesting point of view especially when considering the fact that financial "un-stability" is right around the corner.
So considering his point of view, it's no surprise that the globalists, with full confidence, appointed him as the president. Even though he himself is most likely not what many alt-right people claim him to be, he is still representing the conservative's and the populists so that's practically all that's needed.
But nevertheless, imho it's very possible he will go full NWO once the economic crash hits.
What do you think Brandon? could Trump publically turn pro NWO after the economic crash?

One only needs to read about the "Rothschilds" to quickly realize that such an elite has been at it for hundreds of years... they are groomed to pass on the flame from one generation to the other...
http://www.unsilentmajoritynews.com/the-rothschilds-own-israel-and-direct-its-genocidal-policy/
This led me to believe at first that the elite is so smart and well above us ordinary people... But when I once researched the JFK assassination or even the 9/11 catastrophe, I realized that they do plenty of mistakes and leave plenty of proofs blaming them... so maybe they aren't that smart... but they do have something we all tend to forget... Trump even said it in one of his great speeches... They have an "unlimited" amount of money... They control so many people in high places, companies, governments, that it is quite difficult to take them out, let alone expose them as they will always have many scapegoats in between (as Hillary or any bought puppet is)...
So, my point Brandon: maybe just maybe, you are giving the elite too much credit... maybe just maybe as many of us are already seeing their end game, Trump and others are seeing too... Maybe just maybe, they have a plan of attack aiming to destroy the elite... than again what ever scenario is coming there is an inevitable financial crises coming that will affect the whole world... I just hope that the elite will be taken down before they buy up everything for cheaper once it hits...

Great article, thank you.
I'm wondering, however, whether the timeline you suggest is far too long? It's painfully obvious that BHO thinks he's king, and doesn't want to step down. Why not crash everything NOW, and impose martial law, "constitutional crisis" blah blah blah, in order to keep him in power? And if they can do this before the Electoral College meets in December, they'll even give BHO a constitutional argument: Trump isn't officially Prez unless/until the EC says so--but if the US is in flames and the EC can't meet, well...
Anyway, I'm thinking the US is in a deadly position right now, as we speak, and for the next several weeks. Let 's worry about that first, before we start talking about possible events in 2018! Comments?

Remember AAA ratings on mortgage "securities" by ALL major agencies right up 'til they tanked in '07?
Iceland remembered, and they let the losers lose, and the crooks went to jail.
Their economy rebounded quickly because the bad money was not chased (bailed out) by good money.
Remember "Privatize profits and publicize losses."?
Remember congress voting for the bank bail-outs despite a 100:1 call ratio by their constituents (us: the little guy) to let them (corp. banksters) eat their own shit pies?
Now its so bad that there is no good money (in the west). The economic mantle will (already is) move east cuz they have real money. Lots of it. Its a done deal. Trump is the only candidate that may realize this and prepare us for impact. He'll be the best negotiator to turn military power into bargaining power in the inevitable monetary shift eastward.

Brandon,
Not a disagreement but a question. As MSM fades, the globalists appear to be losing their greatest propaganda tool. What replaces it, other than the likes of FoxNews? If Trump is to be scapegoated (and I agree that he's perfectly situated), wouldn't MSM remain the primary propaganda machine? If there's to be continued thought control simultaneous with the demise of MSM, there has to be an institutional replacement, correct?

****Well I shall first summarize :
ECB Euro crisis (already on)
december 2016 higher dollar rates
january 2017 Trump in charge
spring 2017 : market crash visible in USA
early 2018 : end of dollar (amid tensions with saudi and fed reserve...), rise of sdr.
+ a possibility that TRUMP declares martial law any time.
****What is not in the picture :
trade tensions with China, Middle east policy melting pot (iran, syria, russia, china, israel, saudis, pakistan, india), the wall with mexico, migrants, muslims, Europ policy (ukrain), Nato-atlantic policy...
These are big ifs to me...I don't know how to match it to the predictions above.

written by David Brady , November 16, 2016
Thanks again for a great article Brandon. I was just wondering, and this may not be your in your wheelhouse but regarding specific possible scenarios for the engineered metldown coming...
Could you see a market downturn ST, a mini-crisis, to facilitate Trump's policies getting passed and a reversion to QE4 from the Fed to fund it, i.e. helicopter money, followed by hyperinflation, dollar collapse, then markets shutdown and we get the rescue by the IMF and introduction of the SDR as the new reserve currency? This would seem more plausible, especially to be able to pin the crisis on Trump, as it takes more time to play out and ensures maximum damage to the economy and compliance from the natives. Doesn't he need some seasoning before becoming a patsy?
Or do you believe that his policies will be stymied by the Fed right from the get-go undermining his policies from the start by raising rates through 2017. I find this more difficult to swallow because the Fed could be blamed moreso than Trump for such an outcome, which wouldn't fit with the overall plan.
Any brief thoughts? Thanks again.

The leftists in the streets are for consumption only. All visuals. They are not the majority but we are made to believe they are with the rest of the global cabal. If what Brandon is saying is they're there to reinforce the fantasy that the world is against Trump. Giving the false impression he must be stopped, when it crashes with him at the helm, they can go back and say see we knew this would happen. Give the reigns to Trump and his followers and look what they did. "They drove the car into the ditch again after the took the keys". Then they must implement measures on a global scale to take the last bit of sovereignty we have.

Based on the trend, which this article postulates and proves, the reality of the market makers and the map makers is ''a'' key point of order that is very easy to understand and therefor determine what the final result of their affect shall be.
…with this in mind, understand, the foundation for their end goal has always deception. Deception is the inverted order in opposition , the ''New World Order''. It is in contempt of life and requires all humanity to endure the affect. The instant, and ultimate ''death'', demands destruction, and ''deception'' is the lack of foundation required of the market and map makers. Their false claim of dominion is equal with aborting salvation from the womb, which is an attempt to maintain their own will above the foundation for their own life.
Considering the measure of a man, that of an angel. The perfect measure of the builders, the market and map makers, requires The Stone which they have rejected, this is the nature of the New World Order Fed Beast ''Debt Note'' (g)od, the measure of a man, that of an angel claiming ''do what >>you will

I dont understand something. Yes the elites easily crash the economy by withdrawling stimulus. But wouldnt this being the true cause be seen by most people except the SJW idiotic minority always possed and gobbling up MSM talking points?
How exactly are the elites going to convince most of us it is all Trump? Especially if Trump is arguing against the Fed and points out correctly thecrash is the Feds doing?

If the US repudiates all its debt this is akin to filing for bankruptcy. The dollar would immediately be dumped by every other country as the world reserve as we STILL suffer an economic crisis. There is no way out of this situation, I am sorry to say.
The only solution is for the average american to produce their own necessities and prepare for a long term breakdown.

Again, half the population WANTS Trump to fail anyway. They hate him and us, and what we stand for. The elites don't need to convince them of anything.

Also, if most of us dont trust the MSM, then how is the MSM going to convince us its all Trump's fault? Especially if the PTB pull tje economic collapse trigger too early and Trump hasnt been in long enough to really accomplish anything (especially if he is getting lots of opposition from congress, supreme court, MSM, etc.)

@CaptS
The mainstream will continue to propagandize for a time but their readership is clearly crumbling. I believe the foreign media will take over as the primary "anti-trump" voice. Fox News and others will become the pro-trump voice, and the great danger is that the alternative media will become an echo chamber just like the mainstream media, instead of remaining critical of Trump's policies and positions.

@soldier
The goal is not to convince conservatives to be "anti-trump". Their goal is to make us all vehemently pro-Trump. The rest of the world will be convinced by their own media to be anti-Trump and anti-conservative. And, as already stated, the leftists in this country don't need to be convinced to hate Trump. They already hate him and will blame him for everything that happens regardless.
written by Soldier , November 16, 2016
Idk idk.... Trump had overwhelming turnout at public rallies compared to Hilliary. I feel as though well more than half voted trump, but the elites probably stole the elecrion in a sense by making it so trump barely won instead of winning in a landslide. This helps them set the stage that we are a fringe minority that got lucky this election...

Yes, this is true that economy crash is coming and nationalists across white world gaining power also because global elite need a scapegoat.
But i think that global elite became so fragile that they don,t control situation anymore. Soros and the rest of the folk are so harsh commanders that their own subordinates would like to get rid of them and they will betray their bosses in the most critical moment.
USSR came down this way.

@Juri
No, they control the situation entirely. They have their finger on the economic button. Period. I don't think the outcome will be what they expect, but there will be economic collapse and it will be blamed on Trump and conservatives. Everyone is so hyper-focused on Soros they forget about all the elitists that control the Republican side. The liberty movement will be the deciding factor - will we be co-opted, or will we be leaders?
written by Soldier , November 16, 2016
I guess i still dont get it. So you admit that a majority of americans believe in trump, even through an economic crash in the sense that they will correctly not see him as being the sole cause. However, the rest of the world will hate us. So then that sets the stage for a UN invasion? The rest of the world will be convinced it was trump rather than Fed not continuing stimulus? I guess you are saying the rest of the world will either stupidly or ignorantly or both blame us (trump) and send forces to stamp out conservatism or try to?
written by Brandon Smith , November 16, 2016
@Soldier
I never said a "majority" of Americans believe in Trump. The majority of Americans did not vote. The Left is against him regardless of what he does. This is a simple fact.
Beyond that, an economic collapse will do most of the damage for the elites. They may not even need a war. They may just let half the world starve to death and then saunter in afterwards to clean up the mess. I'm not sure why this is so difficult for you to imagine. If you set aside Trump as a sacred cow this scenario is entirely practical.

Brandon, if fed publically wont stimulate, then economy crashes, its easy to put 2 and 2 together unless you are a stupid liberal. I dislike liberals but even i dont underestimate them all that much. Many liberals, if you show them evidence, will admit you are right. I mean we are not trying to prove atheism is correct or incorrect. Just showing them a basic economic fact

Anyone who hasn't watched this, should take 3 minutes and give it a look:

He condenses the issue down to the core.
This whole Punch and Judy show of an election is just the 'Circus' part of 'Bread and Circuses'.
It's critical to remember this above all else.
It's just more 'Misdirection' to keep the sheep (which couldn't be anyone reading this blog, could it?), from focusing on the fundamental problems.
As for the MSM and Alt Media......remember folks, the Defense Department set the Internet up. Do you really think they had the public's best interests in mind when they did that? Do you think, with all their war games strategists they didn't have specific goals for this operation and fully understand the potential 'threats'? It's already being hijacked and used for misdirection, as designed.
As for Social Justice Warriors......they're just an amusing carnival sideshow, just like so many other sideshows that have been seeded for public misdirection.
As for the Liberty Movement.....Any 'Breathing Room' they've been given is so that they just further expose themselves for identification and give the controllers and their lapdogs more fear porn to misdirect the sheep with.
As for the 'Apocalyptic Collapse'......the Financier/Oligarchs don't have to collapse the economy to get the sheep to do their bidding. Haven't you noticed? Besides, they still have plenty of equity to drain from the serfs and their descendants. As long as they can keep the consumers scratching trying to get to the top of the heap, why not keep the game going?
A firestorm might bite their own butts.
They don't want that, you can bet.
After all, their Public Indoctrination System has effectively dumbed down last 3 generations so effectively that they really have created Idiocracy.
Neofeudalism is here, like it or not.
Which takes us back to the economic system and banking, since the Financier/Oligarchs are who have us all by the throats on their Plantations.
Nothing is going to get better until (fat chance) enough of the world population understand this and find creative ways to undermine and destroy this economic slavery.
The rest of these innumerable sideshows are only there to drain the serfs' energy away and prevent them from throwing off their chains.

....All this looks like an awkward attempt to justify Obama’s prior reluctance to do anything about radical terrorists. Still, most Western media sources remain silent about the fact that Obama’s newfound determination is provoked by the fact that Trump is taking office pretty soon. Should there be an inquiry into the activities of the Obama administration after it’s gone, those terrorist leaders would be able to testify against Obama and his affiliates, that’s why they are being murdered in a hurry now......

I do agree that economic crash kills many of us. However on the way to the grave, i think more of us know the truth rather than thinking on our death bed it was all trump.

Spot on article. But I have to say I have a very well placed banking contact, who stated before the election. Everything is in place for the bail-in/collapse, it's much worse than anyone can imagine. The trigger event is all that is needed and could come at any time. They can't control everything and are ready for any contingency. Time may be shorter, than we think. Yes 2018 will be the time, the next 16-18 months will move quickly to that end point and it won't be an easy or fun ride.

According to some reports, Hillary had a nervous breakdown after the election night. Also some of her team members. Quite some politicians around the world seem to be genuinely shocked. Also, the mainstream media. Now,
-Are they just putting a show, i.e. faking a shock and surprise
-Or, are they not part of the plot i.e. they are just being used?

Considering the fact that Clinton canceled her election celebration the day before the election, I find it hard to believe she was "surprised" by the loss. It seems to me that she knew exactly what was about to happen. I'm going to have to call nonsense on the rumors that she "cried" or "went into a rage".
The leftist media, on the other hand, really did try to manipulate the election for Clinton. I don't think they had a clue what was going on. Certain media moguls may have been informed of the situation, though.

Trump has been warning of recession for some time now, his election didn't and doesn't trigger it, it was already here and growing by the day. The economic meltdown isn't Trump's fault, it was decades in the making by banksters and globalists. it was preplanned, they know exactly what they're doing, and they'll take any help, even from you, on blaming someone else for their crimes.

The conservative map will be re-drawn during the economic collapse we are going to experience but a mere depression won't change a thing.
Many of today's SJW's will discover their conservative roots when things really fall apart and half of today's "conservatives" will take to plundering etc. because they don't believe in nor take a stand for anything.
If we only have a depression most of today's fence sitters and entitlement recipients will still hold out hope in the system. The young deluded's will be able to snap out of the severe shock and adjust and adapt a family/tribe conservative attitude.
I say with trepidation I hope for our sake's its a collapse.
written by Deuce , November 16, 2016
What if Clinton had won? In the shape our world economy is in, it would still have to inevitably collapse. Or was there different scenarios on what to blame the collapse? For example, under a Clinton presidency, would it have been war with Russia that they could then blame for the destruction of world wide finance?
I'm trying Brandon. If you want to think like an owl you have to see things as through owl eyes. That is hard to do when you can't sit in on NWO meetings. But I believe it's still possible to hit 75% of their next moves.
A guage for me to know when the alternative media has been co-opted, is when I see major advertisers on their sites. Money talks and has been the ruin of many good men and noble purposes.
Now more than ever does the Liberty movement need to re-evaluate their direction and try to circumvent their next moves in as much as they have the ability to do so.

Brandon, a bit off topic but we have a show in the UK called The Richie Allen Show who've had several different economists/analysts on over the years.
G Edward Griffin was on last night. Jim Rickards, Jon Rappoport and Gerald Celente have also been guests.
The show is the most listened to independent radio show in Europe.
Here's a link to his You Tube channel:

Brandon,
As usual a very thought provoking article and you don't have a tinfoil head cover. I too thought the Don factor was going to win for different reasons. Just shooting from the hip my thoughts is they no longer care about the blame game. They are more interested in maintaining control and they could careless what we think. THEY are corrupt control nuts that won't stop...
Because of this here is the insider team predictions: the Fed. Reserve will not make a meaningful rate increase this December. Why, because they loose control. And as far as tapering, NO central banks will do that. Why, because they loose control. This might sounds extremely over simplified unless the very end of the big picture is taken into account. What is that you might say. The Collapse coming will be the very biggest and we believe the last maga Collapses that the human experience will be talking about for thousands of years. Another thing we predict is that there will be a lot fewer carbon units taking up oxygen by mid century planet than started this century.

The fed will not lose control due to a rate increase, and they will likely raise rates in December. They have complete control over stock and bond market behavior. When it falls, it will be at the pace they prefer. Count on it.

It is refreshing to read an article that is well thought out and accurate. The NWO rulers have many options they can implement, all leading to more control. t is true the conspirators can pull the plug on the economy at anytime. And then blame it on Trump and the conservatives. The big question is: when will they do it? or, will they take a few years to gear up to that phase. For some reason I feel that Soros has gone rogue and the NWO may allow him to go down. His operations are becoming reckless and counter productive. There are many wild cards in all of this and there is still the possibility of war with China and North Korea. The next few months the globalists will be in a planning stage for their next moves. All we can do is wait and see what happens next.

The elites openly called for the beginnings of a global currency by 2018 in The Economist, so I go by their apparent timetable. I think most of 2017 will be an expanding market crisis. A "collapse", as in full blown social breakdown, may very well occur by 2018 in the U.S. and parts of the EU.

Hey Brandon,
No need to defend your position or clarify unnecessarily. These guys are either trolls or idiots. You've proved your analysis abilities over many years and your credibility is only increasing.
I wait very hard every week for your new article to come out.
Some things you briefly mention, but I think are of utmost importance...
Given the coming economic collapse, based on various comments of yours, it sounds like your prediction is that it will be both acute and longer term. I just can't envision how the liberty movement comes out of this the victor. It seems the path to victory is so much clearer for the elites - crash, blame, solution, the classic Hegelian Dialectic. But for the liberty movement it's not so easy - crash (inevitable), and then what?
We can act locally...but how do we take our country back? Or at least not let it reform into a totalitarian police state with ultimate control? Individuals on the local level at some point need coordination among each other to form a larger, supported movement. Who's going to coordinate us? How?
I just don't see it. Honestly...I just plan to weather the storm with my family and (hopefully) neighborhood), wait for some form of government to come back and then just continue on prospering as best we can.

Remember how when the financial crisis was engineered and blossomed like a mushroom cloud in 2008 and Congress wanted to bail out the banks? The letters to Senators and Representatives ran against the bailouts by somewhere between 35-1 and 100-1. That simply dwarfs GOP/Dem, or Right/Left demographics. I think MOST people saw through that B.S. I don't recall anybody saying it was Bush, or B. Clinton, but the BANKS!
That said, it is clear that with enough propaganda, the masses can be convinced of just about anything. But the death of MSM may be the piece that will collapse which will subvert attempts to put the blame on Trump or any rational policy going forward.
And it was apparent that there was nearly no follow through, as with Iceland. Maybe the 35-1 against campaign was actually from a small minority? I was one of them. I wrote about 100 letters. What a waste of time that turned out to be.

Lets look at policy catalysts:
-Wealth Effect and Wealth Redistribution catalyst is public-private partnerships foundation of Kleptocracy and pinnacle as public-private mergers foundation of Plutocracy required for pinnacle Progressive Government.
-Public-Private Partnerships are socialism's advocacy since Otto Von Bismark catalyzed Bismarkian Policies with them that the Nazis turned into public-private mergers after the Wiemar Agreement led to Hyperinflation and the advocacy for national socialism.
-Open border's catalyst is guilty until proven innocent that is utilized of criminal statistics of demographics to demographically profile criminality-terrorism. As a general rule of thumb, trading rights for security is trading innocent until proven guilty for guilty until proven innocent.
-As Thomas Friedman states globalization 1.0 and 2.0 prior to this eras 3.0 was between 1492-2000 accounting for Dark Age Policies, Wars of expansionist conquest (war is a racket and welfare is domestic warfare), Colonial Era, and both World Wars.
-Public-Private Partnerships are strongly dependent on deficit to debt spending, and old school measurements place deficit to debt spending to over 80% of GDP.
The prime examples are government-banking public-private partnerships and government-medical public-private partnerships. What is the desired effect of placing banking institutions as Too Big To Fail and ACA aka Obamacare failing right now is being argued to do? They tout public-private mergers through centralization as the solution.
"The second argument they present is that the elites “will never succeed” in blaming Trump and conservatives for an economic crisis that was decades in the making."
Considering, government-banking public-private partnership, government-medical, government-agricultural (GMO), and etc are being primed for 4 or less years varying on impeachment to be offered as a solution of further centralization by making them the foundation of Plutocracy public-private mergers.
The Confederacy, Nazi Germany, Soviet Union, and etc have proven beyond any shadow of a doubt that such Agricultural-Consumerist-Service Economies require high taxes, lack of exit markets, and ultimately sustainable development and overpopulation solutions derived by slave or serfdom labor to be profitable.
"With conservatives launching into 2017 with complete control of government and a Trump mandate, it would seem that liberty groups have “won the fight” and have nothing to worry about."
To put it bluntly, those people are being lulled into a false sense of security.
1). Clearly, the false sense everything will be tranquil as a result of Trump being elected is short-sighted to say the least. No matter what happens Brandon is right; we're looking at mal-investment being purged IF Trump is sincere. If Trump isn't, we're headed towards Hyperinflation as the American styled Wiemar Agreement remains intact.
2). Figures are already attempting to promote maintaining the structure already in place, and I doubt very seriously that open border policies will be reigned in but the wall built.
Walls make handy blocks against escape routes for martial law and Authoritarian governance. Think about it.
3). According to Sanger's follower's extensive writing, Social Justice Warriors are 'designed to fail'. Search Margaret Sanger, Negro Project, and Sanger's followers from 1970-between 2007-08. Please do explain:
-Why is intellectual-genetic inferiority and superiority being promoted in the topic of race relations?
-Why is that social justice warriors make it so easy to side against them? Why aren't they targeting the catalyst of open border's guilty until proven innocent that is the catalyst of demographic profiling?
The only acceptable answer comes from policies from 1870-around 1960 that are policies Progressive Government is reviving.
Clearly, we're looking at some very interesting times; the oldest and perhaps most potent curse is 'May you live in interesting times'. We're at that point.

Frank, don't mean to burst your bubble or be cantankerous in any way...we are in a huge financial downturn and have been for a very loooong time. There is NO hope for the "system". Compare the Great Depression DOW stock charts to todays DOW stock chart...very similar pattern.
With no jobs, no manufacturing, where do you think we will be in a few more years? Trump or no Trump. And you are mistaken about "entitlement recipients" holding out hope.....many are just trying to find churches, Rescue Missions, Salvation Army where they can have at least one meal a day.
Obama out them "free money" once a month but when that runs out pretty quick the shelters are full of all of society - veteran's who cannot find jobs, families with children, the drop-outs, and drug-users.
Senior citizens who have worked hard all their lives trying to get by on a Social Security check once a month that they paid into in their working years, and may have a home are struggling to put money aside for the higher and higher property taxes so they don't lose their homes. And still try to put food on the table. Many are sharing a can of food with their pet dog or cat and this has gone on for a long time. Look around.
The "young deluded's" are so deceived they have no clue how to defend, prepare - mentally, spiritually, physically - or even survive what's about to hit this nation. Their god is their cell phone. And God forbid the day when the grid goes down...what happens then when their idol no longer works???
It's the herd mentality. They don't know what the "conservative attitude" is because they only know what they've been indoctrinated into by the socialist public school system from nursery school through high school. God forbid they attend a college of "higher learning" where their socialist ideas, agenda's and attitudes are highly rewarded. And they ARE NOT WILLING TO LISTEN TO OR KNOW ANY FACTS OF REAL TRUTH!!
I fear for this generation who have been given so much in this country and have squandered what their grandparents and parents have worked hard for to give them.....EVERYTHING!!! Most have never had to struggle, or to suffer doing without.
This is a me, me, me, generation. It's all about me and my life, and myself, and every bit of it is given out freely on facebook and social media. There is no longer any privacy as they don't care and don't know. And they don't care that they don't know. Going back to knowing, not knowing...most don't care, don't know and are not teachable!!!

Islam has been, and will always provide, the required willful idiot. Antichrist Islam is a WMD 911 Call that can and will be dialed when needed. Antichrist Islam provides the chaos and crisis required, especially when a false flag event is needed.
Because of Islam Iran is set up to be the next perfect scapegoat. Because of Islam the petro dollar and the debt note of the market and map makers has sealed labor with debt that cannot be overcome but by mass human slaughter.

Hi Brandon,
Great article and great insight for such a young man. What you say makes a lot of sense.
In my opinion, the globalists are eroding all the institutions that we know for the purpose of manipulating us into acceptance of the NWO/global governance. Once political philosophies (left, right, liberals, nationals etc etc) along with the media, the monetary system, the SJW and all other platforms and systems of reliance that people have been discredited or collapsed, then the people will have "nothing" to rely on, and will deposit their trust and confidence in the then proposed solution ... the NWO.
At that point what is there to lose if everything we know has failed or forced to fail? I believe this NWO will be done by having all the nations subordinate to the UN to be the SINGLE global government. The sale pitch will be "peace and security"... No borders, no rival governments, no divergent political philosophies. (All opposition killed or in prison, but I am sure there will be overwhelmingly world wide acceptance.) Military, intelligence and defense budgets will not be needed like now, and huge sums of money, now directed to wars, arms and conflict, will be re-directed toward infrastructure, eradicating poverty, hunger etc. etc.
The only traditional institution standing that is divisive will be religion and that will be the last obstacle. The UN will destroy all religions. Which of course has been the source of wars, divisions and misery for 6000 years.
Then?.... Well...1 Thessalonians 5:3
Am I a globalist? Do I believe the NWO and the UN is the salvation of the human race? NO! What I just described is what I believe may be the scenario that will take place for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled. The above protagonists, are...in the Book of Revelation described symbolically as, The Wild Beast, The image of the Wild Beast, The Harlot or Babylon the Great. And it ends with God destroying the entire political enterprise and establishing his Kingdom. (Matthew 6:10) That final battle where God destroys the system is the battle of Armageddon (symbolic meaning, and not the physical place in Israel).
Would love to hear your opinion and that of any reader. Thanks!

JC, since you asked for comments, here it goes.
I am a spiritualist. I love God and I try to live by this.
But the Bible is way over rated. It hardly talks about God.
The Bible is like teaching God to someone that doesn't know Him at all. It can be compared to kindergarten. But then you need to progress from that. You need to go to elementary school, and then college, university, etc.
What the Bible says, or what you think it says, is so far away from the truth that your conclusions are pointless. It's like if a 5 year old child was trying to explain the Universe through his immature knowledge.

Unfortunately, if one does not believe that criminal psychopathic gangs rule the earth for a least the last 150 years and that all mainstream information and markets are controlled then it is impossible to do a proper analysis.

@jj55
No, I'm afraid you are wrong, and you will be proven as such in due course. The economy is in the middle of collapse right now, and the elites only have so much time before they lose control. Right now, they can trigger a market crash however they wish, but it will not always be so. It behooves them to crash the market at a time of their choosing rather than allowing the system to go rogue. If the elites wanted to maintain the markets for years to come (which they can't do), they would have put Clinton in office. The only reason to allow Trump into office would be to create a scapegoat for the collapse that is going to happen inevitably anyway.
You will see soon enough that I am right.

@Brandon
As always, great article, clear use of language. And on top of that, you're engaged with your public. Favorite writer at the moment. Wish you'd produce more =).
My suggestion, or challenge to (part of) your world view:
You assume, in all of your analyses, that there is one homogeneous elite. That they are all globalists and vying for world government - and the extinction of mankind and liberty as we know it for something 'better', the singularity.
Now, I want you to consider there are actually two - or more - factions of 'elites' or 'secret cabals' at work in the world, who don't share the same ambitions for the future of the world and the race.
To consider this proposition, I want you to think about the American republic and how it came int0 existence. I want you to study Andrew Jackson and see what force he was part of, and against what force he fought.
If you look at the people behind Brexit, including Farage, they are all part of a freemason cabal. Trump, Christie, and more in his inner circle all show freemason ties. Trump's mother is actually a keeper of the Callanish Stones, an important freemason site in Scotland.
I just want you to consider that there is a battle going on between different 'secret societies' of the 'elites'. A battle that has been going on for centuries. The battle that freed the American continent from British imperialism. The battle that freed Russia from dreadful atheistic communism.
I think it's unrealistic to view the world as black and white as you do - there are elites vying for world government, there is the liberty movement and there are the 90+% that know nothing. If that were the case, they (the elites) wouldn't need to go through all the things you describe to complete their objective. The battle would have been over long ago if there was only the liberty movement standing inbetween freedom and global enslavement.
To sum it up: Who fought these globalist forces before the liberty movement as we know it even came into existence?
Cheers Brandon, keep up your great great work.
written by Brandon Smith , November 17, 2016
@Sven
I have heard this theory before, but I have seen no evidence of opposing factions within the elitist sphere. I think they have been subdued by freedom fighters like us, all throughout history. It is just our turn now.
According to the research of Antony Sutton and the admissions of elitists like Carroll Quigley, there is only one elitist cabal and they are international in scope. If they are to be opposed, it will have to be by people like us. There is no one else. We will have to accept this sooner or later even though it is not the most pleasant reality.

@Brandon
So the reason American citizens still have their second amendment rights is the work of unorganized freedom fighters, like the liberty movement?
You wrote "If you are biased and retain too many sacred cows you will never understand how the world works. You will be too busy trying to reinforce your own fantasies to see anything else."
Don't fall into that yourself. Don't rule out Sutton can be wrong and Quigley can be misinformation.
I don't want to be critical of your work. Just wish you see this battle is not as straightforward as you see it right now.
written by Brandon Smith , November 17, 2016
@Sven
I have no sacred cows, I only operate on the available facts and evidence. Sutton backed ALL of his views with ample evidence. Quigley was an elitist insider. Again, I see no evidence whatsoever that there are conflicting factions within elitist circles, and ample evidence that they are a single entity.
The battle is exactly as straightforward as I see it, until proven otherwise. It sounds as though you have greatly invested yourself in the competing faction theory. Perhaps you should look into Sutton's work and read Quigley's Tragedy and hope. They might change your mind.

I wish to address those here who still believe in the false paradigm of an evil Islam destined to destroy the so called 'Free World', which is obviously utter nonsense.
If you would translate the word ' Islam ' into English, you would have to say something like 'Resignedness', resignedness to what?Resignedness to the ONE God, which is the same as in Christianity and Judaism.
Those who created the 'federal reserve' more than 100 years ago to plunder the world, have also created the so called 'isis' to further their global agenda.
Exactly as the fed reserve is NOT federal with NO reserves, the 'islamic state' is neither Islamic nor has a state.
We as freethinkers should really be able to look through all of this scam.
As one of the commentators here said, Islam as a world religion and ideology definitely stands in the way of the globalist, that's why it MUST be destroyed, either through Islamophobia or extreme propaganda, every tool no matter how brutal is OK with them.
In a way Imam Khomeini the founder of Islamic Republic of Iran was the first freedom and liberty fighter in our modern times, as the Iranian Revolution in 1979 was the first revolution to fight globalism and imperialism and the main slogan was ' neither east, nor west' and that was exactly the reason why the world powers unleashed their monster, saddam hussein, on Iran to kill 1 million people in one of longest and deadliest wars of the last century including the usage of WDM against Iran.
Also we should not forget that over 130 years ago when the british empire discovered oil in our region they simultaneously created and promoted wahhabism in confrontation to real Islam(divide and rule doctrine) again to further their global agenda.

Brandon,
You are correct that Trump is a scapegoat.
But the liberty movement has already been co-opted and will serve as a scapegoat as well; and the internet is well on the road to being just as hijacked. The 'elite media control' is alive and well.
You are a social justice warrior as is anyone who tries to make a more moral world.
There ARE factions at the top — Vanilla Greed for Profit Evilism vs Pernicious Greed for Destruction Xtrevilism. Pernicious Greed now firmly holds the policy shift reins. You are correct it is a sea change. A rapidly escalating sea change.
What we are experiencing is Full Spectrum Dominance and the imposition of Perpetual Conflict in the masses.
Excerpt:
"Without question those very few individuals at the top of the pyramid — predominately un-elected appointed officials with little or no accountability to the ballot box and the uber wealthy billionaires that they shill for — control policy through central bank manipulation of the global fiat credit/money supply (both on the books and off the books dark pools of fiat credit/money sloshing around the planet). With this formidable power they have created a system of globally dynamic inter penetrating economic bubbles implemented and fine tuned with the now well integrated massive corporate owned global state media described above. These global mass media augmented and placed bubbles — far more powerful than military weapons — can decimate and control whole industries, countries, communities and global financial sectors around the globe. Think of them as red lining on steroids. As a societal control force they are without equal and are used to impose forced austerity, sequestration, and fund the creation of ever more harsh technologically advanced societal tools of control and dominance."

Brandon, if you knew that the globalists controled the media and rigged elections, and you knew they did not want Brexit or a Trump victory, then how could you have known that Trump's popularity would overcome that? Consider that both Brexit and Trump barely won.
Why would the globalists want to set-up the alt-right when the alt-right is as collectivist as the left? They are just nationalist collectivists instead of globalist collectivists. Wouldn't the globalists want to set up free-market types?

Why would the globalists run such a sick candidate in the first place? Yes, they are that evil and Hillary wants the full throttle power. Her and Bill's corrupt dealings go way back to Mena, Arkansas and further. He was "groomed" for his presidency as well. I'd be interested in your opinion regarding Hillary's actions.

Actually, Trump has only touched on half of those issues, and frankly, I don't buy into people based on their rhetoric. When they ACT on their rhetoric, then I become interested. We will see what Trump does when he is in office. So far, all he has done is line up a bunch of neo-cons and Goldman Sachs boys to fill his cabinet. He's not off to a good start.
Also, I said the elites can pull the plug on the economy any time they choose (within the next couple of years). That is what they have control over. They do not have control over the actions WE TAKE, or the outcome if we fight back. Educating people on the reality of the situation helps them to take the right actions. This is very simple.

Yes, though the IMF may do this in an indirect fashion. Consider that China has been hoarding gold since 2008. China is now a major liquidity source for the SDR. If China ties the Yuan to its gold holdings, the SDR, by extension, is also tied to gold.
And, they may very well make gold a direct member of the SDR basket. No one knows exactly how much gold the IMF and BIS has accumulated.

"I predict Trump and the Fed will enter into open hostilities against each other, which will erode international faith in the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency." (Prediction dated 11/16/16, but no date given when this will occur. Let's say in 2017 or 2018.)
Brandon, when you recited your list of correct predictions early in your post, I have to praise you and give you your due and to give you credit. Honesty compels that.
The only thing that I've ever objected strenuously to is your insistence that there is a false Left/Right paradigm.
Sir, there is a Left and a Right political spectrum.
However, I think I now know what you are saying. (If I'm mistaken, please correct me.) I think now what you mean is that *even* if there is a Left/Right spectrum (and there is) that the globalists (whoever these dark shadow nefarious people may be) supersede this divide by exploiting it for their own globalist ends.
If so, then this is how and what I see that you are stipulating to (Let me know if you agree):
(1) George Soros is a Globalist Elite.
(2) George Soros really and secretly wants Trump to win.
(3) Soros funds Hillary's campaign. Soros funds anti-Trump protestors during the primaries, during the general campaign season, and for the protests after the election result which he *actually* wanted.
(4) The Globalist Elites and Soros are spending large sums of money to protest the self-professing Nationalist ("Make America Great Again") Trump because he is a pawn for their plan and goal of Global/World Control.
Is this more or less correct, Brandon?

In Diplomacy, a game JFK and Kissinger played and Kissinger remains to this day having a rather infamous reputation in, you don't stab your former allies until you can finish off both your mutual enemy and your former allies.

I too thought the dollar would be imploded by Obama as he hates the unipolar world and the petro dollar, but without that the ((tribe)) cant finance their wars around the world as easily. Perhaps its why they want to ban currency, but that isnt going to happen anytime soon.

Russia and China are run by the same elites (IMF and BIS). Both Putin and the Chinese government promote a single global currency system and world economic governance by the IMF.

You have never lived under a true capitalist free market system. You have only ever lived under socialism and crony corporatism. You need to do far more research before commenting on these subjects. For example, your "solution" to shut down the Fed cold turkey is not a solution in and of itself. You forget that America's economy is entirely reliant on the dollar's world reserve status. Yes, shut down the fed, but remember that the dollar will collapse in the aftermath, and millions of people will lose purchasing power, starve, and possibly die.
Nothing is as simple as you seem to think it is, and Trump has NO POWER whatsoever to change the situation. Math is math, and economic crisis is systemic and unstoppable.

Maybe we can clear up our confusion bydefining 'elites'. I propose to define it as those who are extremely wealthy and therefore possess social-economic power far beyond that of the common man.
If that is how we define elites, then I cannot see how we can disagree there are elites fighting the globalist superstate.

The elites are not just "those who are extremely wealthy and therefore possess social-economic power far beyond that of the common man". By that measure Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, etc, are in that group. But they aren't. Their wealth doesn't come anywhere near the elite's wealth.
It's not actually that hard to define the elites...they are simply those who own the central banks of every country in the world. That kind of power is far beyond Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg.
Owning and controlling the worlds money essentially means you own EVERYTHING, including the people (which to them are nothing more than chattle). So the elite are in a category all their own, there are very few of them, and they are largely all related by blood.

how do you know what system i have lived in? you dont even know how old i am for starters!
i stick by my assertion that Trump could easy make the Fed live up to its name(by being owned by the Federal Government instead of a load of private bankers) he simply audit's the fed, finds $19 trillion missing and simply transfers it to the Federal government debt free, passing it over at the expense of its shareholders, in much the same way as 'names' do in holding shares in Lloyds of london. The names associated with the fed have made 1,000's of trillions of dollars at the expense of the people, $17 trillion is chump change to them so they are made to take the hit and the USA has its debt reduced by 65% in one fell swoop with only a handful of families suffering instead of the whole world. i call that taking one for not just the team but the whole of humanity. there is not much to loose anyway since the BRIC's no longer use the petrodollar.
In any event, England turned the bank of england back to government control in 1946 and nobody noticed, and again only a handful of extremely wealthy families took the hit.
And this information is key my friend in your argument. you see, capitalism, in its purest form, i havent got a problem with, but that requires a social contract to ensure nobody gets left behind(as of course capitalism goes nowhere without a means of production ie workers).
we kind of got one of those here in the UK cos we have a national health service so we dont have to pay for healthcare, but in america, there really isnt one. this is why the disenfranchised won both the brexit and the american elections because the politicians simply dont listen to the people any more.
i feel sorry for the poor saps who still think the democratic party is the party of the people. they may be inclusive to a point, but under Obama, the only people that have gotten rich are him and the bankers and the inner cities have been left to rot. that, does in no way represent a social contract, so either capitalism changes its ways or is razed to the ground; greed will undoubtedly ensure its the latter.
Trump may be an oaf, but hes not guilty of most of the things levelled at him, thats the MSM demonizing him on behalf of the DNC. the dems had most of the media in their pocket, even supposedly rigged 4 states, and still lost, serves the DNC right for taking the clintons dirty money to nominate her instead of Sanders who would have walked it cos he represented change.

Also, you still don't seem to understand that it DOES NOT MATTER if the Fed is absorbed by the U.S. government. The point is, such a process will immediately kill the dollar's world reserve status and by extension, the U.S. economy. You are trying to go from A to Z without thinking about everything that happens in-between.
Also, the kabuki theater surrounding Trump and the media does not impress me. The elites pulled similar stunts in Europe during the onset of Fascism. Hitler was attacked relentlessly by the corporate media before he took power, all while the same corporations and wall street moguls were HELPING him. Trump may or may not be aware of what is happening, but the fact remains that I was right - he will take office, and it is because the elites want him there.
Your blind faith in Trump is merely that - blind faith. You have only his rhetoric to go by and nothing else. Beyond that, again, the President has no power whatsoever to stop a financial crash at this point and time. Even Ron Paul could do nothing, and he has actual in-depth knowledge of economic functions.
You have much to learn, my friend.

Your definition is inadequate. They are not just "rich", they are part of an extensive ideology - a one world cult, if you will. Also, again, you have shown no evidence whatsoever of conflict among any elites regardless of definition. As I stated, the research of Antony Sutton and the admissions of elites like Carroll Quigley negate your position. Until I see evidence that contradicts theirs, the concept is a waste of time.

Hello Brandon and bravo for your analysis geoeconomic! Your publications make me understand a lot about the elites! I wanted to know if these elites plans to win marine lepen and thus to bring down the European union or not? thank you!

I've keep up with you for years now and you have been spot on. Knowing whats going on and who is behind it is great, but I see know ( movement ) to stop ( it ) or
( them ). Maybe I'm missing something here, are we on defense,or offence ?

@Tman
The fact that the elites need to allow (or field) a candidate like Trump to either co-opt or scapegoat liberty and sovereignty champions should tell you quite clearly that there is a very large anti-globalist movement. We are everywhere. I can guarantee you, you have people living in your neighborhood that are ready to fight right now. You probably have some family members with the same sentiment.
If you are for true liberty, then today we are on defense. People who think we are on offense because of Trump do not understand the situation. When we are on offense, you'll know, because at that point the global elites seeking deconstruction of sovereignty and the total centralization of power will be afraid to walk out in the daylight. Unfortunately, this is where things are inevitably headed.

the germans are the best "re-educated" aka brainwashed nation on earth. the escalated prosperity do the rest, plus the unbelievable state of cognitive dissonance.
that said, i've got NO hope for us, with the millions of qualified employees aka invaders, the train has left the station already.
@brandon:
bravo, i'm by your side with really every word you say!
it was and is ALWAYS the same:
1. divide and conquer
2. order thru chaos
both implemented via the hegelian dialectic/double speak
me (as many others here from the pre-nwo test labour called eu(dssr)) looking forward to hear time by time your thoughts on us ;-)

""Nahm der zentralbankster den medienfuersten am Arm und kommentierte, halt du sie dumm, ich halt sie arm.""
I think this sums up pretty much, the situation in most Western countries.
I am currently discussing the view points of Brandon with some of my German friends and believe it or not, they are categorically refusing to open their minds for new standpoints and usually they are highly intellectual people
It's tiring and exhausting, but most people I speak to about accepting new ideas are blocked, as you said cognitive dissonance being the most important factor.
written by David Brady , November 19, 2016
Brandon,
Everything you have said seems to playing out. It seems that if the Elites wants to blame the populists and conservatives that Trump is fully aware of his role in 'the plan' as he could not have chosen a more ultra-conservative cabinet to fit the bill. Certainly not the actions of someone who wants to govern for the "whole" country. Just another box checked on the Elite to-do list. Does this fit with your expectations?
Cheers, David

Happened to be listening to Sean Hannity in my car this evening. I could not believe my ears when he announced that all across this country the public schools are offering psychological grief counseling, pet therapy counseling, aromatherapy, "cry rooms", hot chocolate and more to the students to deal with their loss of Hillary losing the nomination. All at taxpayers expense!!
Good grief, just wait until the SHTF and they can't get their drugs - legal or illegal, "smart" phones that don't work....a disaster just waiting to happen! Such spoiled brats who have no idea how to face life, especially a life of hardship. I have a feeling a bigger storm is coming soon where they are concerned.

Bravo for your predictions. I've been reading your articles for a while and I must admit the correctness of your analysis.The only thing I disagree strongly with you is your conviction Poutine is a puppet in the hands of the globalists.Russia on the contrary is a deadly enemy for the globalists and the whole world will see it very soon.

@Aziz
Russia is no enemy of the globalist elites. They are a member of both the IMF and the Bank for International Settlements, two leading globalist institutions.
I see this so many times from people. The best one is how Putin has 'kicked the Rothschild's out of Russia'. Five minutes of research will tell you that Russia is not the 'good guy' as some like to proclaim them as.

brandon,
trump has already articulated very clearly what the fed is "up" to. on the campaign trail he has articulated clearly, that "its all fake, we have a fake economy, held up with fake interest rates, and that yellen is the most political figure ever.
he predicts she held down rates so obama could have a legacy, and once she raises them, the markets will come crashing down....Trump is well aware of the fed, and the fed moves are far from being a "secret" with what they are doing.

And yet, Trump refuses to say that he will do anything at all about the Fed.
That said, I think a war between the Fed and Trump is coming, and it will HELP the elites in their mission to create a believable narrative for the death of the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency. Trump is just a tool for the globalists, whether he knows it or not. That is the "secret" portion of the plan that you are missing.
written by Nikki_UK , November 21, 2016
Hey Brandon,
I took some time off to do more research into the Global Elite, their NWO and how it started. Now I see that you are 100% on point.
These elites must destroy their USD in order to usher in their plan to a) create a new world currency and b) bring the masses to heel.
I have now changed my position and I think Trump is 100% in on the "conspiracy". He was absolutely selected and chosen and has been waiting for his moment for decades I presume.
I guess now I just have to figure out how to protect myself, and my family. So I will be reading the rest of your articles later, once I get the chance!
For now though, I just want to say, thanks for putting all this work out there for people like us so we can wake up!

in the context of your aphorism, i had to say that like everything, it's relative and poor can only mean a fortune staring in the minimum double-digit billions (here in the eudssr millions).
i know a lot of very wealthy people and some billionaires here in the nwo test labor, which were off course "well" "educated" and "sophisticated/intellectual" (that's what they think for themselves in context of the society - lol).
these kind of the society is where the cognitive dissonance is most prevalent.
the reason is, that these people having something to loose financially, so their ego has more strength.
there were always and only two reasons when and why empires are perishing: the sprawling prosperity of the society which degenerates them and on the other/opposite side the debt of the state.
so the "poor" or common people are the ones with more contact to life and with a much more opened heart. these are the masses of society but they haven't got anything to loose or for what it makes sense to fight for (liberty is a alien concept for most of them).
so, if you want to try to "enlight" someone, make sure it's someone from the non highly "educated" aka "dogma programmed" people ;-)

hi brandon
i'm sure you know who is martin armstrong.
what do you think of his computer/ai model.
he predicted maaaany years ago (from the eighties), that the dollar will and must give up his reserve position, cause if the real money from all over the world will to flow into the dollar/share market.
are you familiar with his predictions and what do you think about it?
i stumbled over him years ago and he gets my interest, cause he was imprisoned without hearing etc., cause they want his code on which he was able to predict the fall of the soviet union and many more precisely.
for that case and as an entry point to his person, i really really recommended (for everybody here) the movie (from a german film maker): http://forecaster-movie.com

Thanks Michel for your intelligent and sharp comment and I totally agree with you.
I am much connected to Germany, both in my current business and my childhood and education there.
Believe it or not, I have stopped promoting Brandon's Blog as I have faced crazy and weird reactions, even when I posted links of his top articles on blogs such as Mom, crazy times.

I was half-hoping Hitlery would be elected so that the subsequent crash might be blamed on her - but then the banks would not pull the plug on her and things would have strung out forever...
"half of America is ALREADY primed to blame Trump for everything that happens over the next four years"
...and the other half will blame Obama, the banks, etc. Humans are the excuse-making animal rather than the tool-making animal. The last person they are going to blame is themselves.
So people will believe what they want to believe. On the other hand, the time when entrenched worldviews start to be questioned and discarded, is in times of crisis. An empty belly is hard to ignore.
At least some people will have a fix on reality. Such people also tend to be heavily armed, which is a comfort.
In a way, if you look at the globalists and bankers, they are in not so envious a position as one might first imagine. They have a tiger by the tail, and all their maneuvering has a air of the frantic about it.

Keep in mind these important steps and I am sure you will understand the Russian point of view :
-2007,Munich speech by Vladimir Poutine.It is funny to see the fury on the face of the two neocons McCain and Joe Liebermann,
-2008,the russian blitzkrieg against the (US backed) Georgian aggression in Ossetia,
-2013,russian both diplomatic and MILITARY NIET towards the US aggression on Syria,
-2014, peaceful salvage of the strategic Crimea,
-2015,direct russian military intervention against the terrorists in Syria despite western condemnations,
-2016 (November)russian ,Minister of Economy linked to international oligarchs put in jail,
-2016 (November) Iskander Missiles deployed in Kaliningrad in the heart of Europe.

Guess who are the fiercest ennemies of the hypocrit islamist terrorists : Syria,Iran,libanese HezbAllah,Iraq,Algeria,Egypt all countries with an overwhelming majority of genuine Muslims while the West led by your State and Zionistan actively supports the terrorists...
written by Brandon Smith , November 26, 2016
@Aziz
The Muslims have no idea who they are fighting against. They think the enemy is the "West" in general, not the globalists. The governments of all the nations you listed are controlled by globalist interests. Add to that the fact that the majority of Muslims support Sharia Law, and I see no chance whatsoever that they are capable of combating the elites. They don't believe in freedom, so how could they possibly fight for it? The fact of the matter is, the Muslim world is nothing more than a tool for the elites.

Fantastic articles, Brandon.
It is definitely a breath of fresh air to find some commentary that is not hearsay or void of evidence.
Thomas Jefferson may not have been the author of this, however:
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered."
Prescient to say the least.
If we have not even seen one blip, one iota of anything resembling inflation (no less Hyper), then we won't see it at all.
Many trillion$ of stimulus have been dumped into the American system and you see nothing, the economy is running on fumes as you so eloquently point out.
I have seen estimates of $1.5 Quadrillion for the size of the derivatives market, which I personally believe is understated by a couple hundred Quadrillion.
We are in the middle of a deflationary debt super cycle from which there is no escape.
This has been repeated throughout recorded history. Babylon, Rome, we are on deck.
Creditors or debtors.... someone is going to take it on the chin.
