It is an unfortunate reality that most people tend to be oblivious to massive sea changes in geopolitics and economics. You would think that these events would catch the immediate attention of everyone as they happen, but usually it is not until they realize that the microcosm of their personal lives is subject to the consequences of the macrocosm that they wake up and take notice.
There are, however, ways to train yourself to pick up on signals within the news cycle and within political and financial rhetoric; signals that indicate a great shift is perhaps on the way. Sometimes these initial signs are subtle, sometimes they are as subtle as a feminist slut-walk. I would point out that over the next few months there are dangerous correlations so numerous and blatant in the economic sphere that I would almost rather watch a marching gaggle of frumpy feminists wearing nothing but electrical tape than bear witness to the mayhem that is about to strike the unwitting public.
What am I talking about? Well, let’s go through the list…
Federal Reserve Meeting March 14-15th
As my readers know well, I have been warning since before the election that the Fed would use a Trump presidency as an opportunity to pull the plug on near-zero interest rates and remove a primary pillar supporting stock markets — stock buybacks made possible by free overnight loans to numerous banks and corporations. Without QE and low interest rates the equities bubble will inevitably implode.
Corporate earnings certainly aren’t holding up stocks, neither is GDP or consumer spending. The Fed is the only determining factor of the ongoing bull market. Anyone who claims otherwise is probably a mainstream analyst or overzealous day trader with a vested interest in keeping the illusion going.
It is not surprising to me at all that the “rate hike odds” for March have been increased by mainstream analysts to 90% in the span of a week. I don’t know why anyone uses these arbitrary odds as an indicator of anything. I’ve been receiving emails all month asking me if I still believe the Fed will hike rates while the odds are “so low.” Look, the Fed does not make decisions at these meetings. They make decisions months in advance and the meetings are window dressing.
Too many people operate under the delusion that the central bank wants to continue propping up stocks, which is why they cannot grasp why the Fed would raise rates. In reality, the stage has been perfectly set to allow the bubble to implode. When the elites have a perfect scapegoat, they use it, and conservative movements represent that perfect scapegoat today.
The important thing to remember, though, is the timing of this particular meeting…
U.S. Debt-Ceiling Suspension Ends March 15th
So, in case you weren’t tracking the economic situation two years ago, the U.S. government almost went bust (in a sense) in 2015. The debt ceiling sets limits on how much the government can borrow to fund itself, and that limit was hit hard under the Obama administration after he managed to nearly double the national debt during his tenure. Congress passed legislation to allow borrowing to continue until March 2017, and of course, much of that capital was “borrowed” from the Federal Reserve, which, of course, creates it out of thin air. With the return of the debt ceiling, the question is — will Congress be able to extend and delay again? With Trump running on a platform of fiscal responsibility, CAN they extend again? Do they even want to, or is this an engineered crisis event?
Once again, the timing of all this is a little odd. The Fed is raising rates into the first year of the Trump presidency leaving equities increasingly open to destabilization. In addition, the government might not be able to continue borrowing from them, or there will be a renewed extension but the costs of borrowing will run much higher. In either case, this month seems to pronounce the beginning of something; a considerable move away from the standard operating procedures that the elites have been using for the past several years. With such changes come consequences, always.
Formal Initiation Of Brexit On March 15th
The skeptics have been telling me for months that even though I was right about the Brexit vote victory the elites “would never allow” the British to leave the EU. Well, it doesn’t look that way to me so far. Theresa May plans to formally notify the EU of British exit on March 15th triggering two years of negotiations which will undoubtedly send economic shock waves throughout the globe on a regular basis.
Of course the Brexit will move forward! Why not? Globalists need a continuing atmosphere of crisis to distract the masses from their great global reset, and they need multiple scapegoats for the economic disaster that their reset will cause. Enter conservative movements in Europe; once again the perfect target to pin a crisis on.
French Elections Start April 23rd, End May 7th
Yet another election in which the EU hangs in the balance. Recent polls indicate that Marine Le Pen, the designated “populist" candidate, is falling behind. I have to ask, though, have we not learned our lesson yet on the meaninglessness of political polls? I think most of us have.
I believe Le Pen will be one of the final two candidates to move on to the election in May, and though I am not as certain as I was on Brexit and Trump, I am going to go ahead and predict a Le Pen win. If there is any sizable terrorist event in the next couple of months in the EU, or expanded Muslim riots, she is a guaranteed win. This brings up the very real prospect of a “Frexit” in the near future, and analysts should expect that a Le Pen win will be met with some panic in the financial world.
Potential Italian Election Move On April 30th
The Italian political process is a little confusing to me, but what I can tell you is that this spring or early summer you will probably be hearing a lot more about it. Former Italian prime minister and current Italian Democratic Party leader Matteo Renzi is set to decide on a the date for a leadership vote, which may come as early as April 30th. The outcome of this vote will likely decide how soon the next official Italian election will take place.
The election is required to be held before May 2018, but there is increasing pressure to hold elections in 2017, perhaps even this coming summer. I would not be at all shocked to see a surprise announcement of an early Italian election after the leadership vote is held.
Why should anyone care? The consensus is that Renzi’s party will be overrun by anti-EU factions and that this may result in a kind of “Italiexit.” The outcome of Italy’s series of votes and political restructuring will have wide reaching effects on the psychology of the markets for many months to come.
German Federal Election Held September 24th
Yes, even Germany is quaking this year in the wake of a potential “populist” tsunami. Angela Merkel is exceedingly unloved by her own people lately as her approval ratings collapse. Once-silent sovereignty champions in the country are becoming more and more vocal about Merkel’s rather insane open immigration policies which were the key element that drew millions of Muslims into the EU. It was the German government’s promise of endless entitlement programs that created the incentive for the mass migration in the first place, and now, finally, the German people are fed up with the complete lack of cultural assimilation and what many see as the destruction of western values.
I do not think that Germany will abandon the supranational concept of the EU regardless of the outcome of the election, but the removal of Merkel would signal a less agreeable Germany, which would exacerbate the already tottering European Union. Meaning more economic uncertainty in 2017.
If You Thought 2016 Was Weird…
If you thought 2016 was weird, I suggest you get comfortable with the surreal because it is not going away anytime soon. 2017 is a veritable treasure trove of falling elevators, and I haven’t even covered half of the issues facing the economy this year. But what about the macro-analysis?
To summarize, it seems to me that many of these events, stacked so closely together, are not coincidental in their timing. As I have noted in articles such as The Economic End Game Explained, globalists have been openly planning for decades to set in motion a vast financial overhaul and the launch of a single global economy and currency (the seeds being planted starting in 2018). If this is still their timeline, then it would follow that they would need a series of fiscal earthquakes designed to shake up the “old world order” to make way for a “new world order.”
Perhaps each of these events will result in a “stable” outcome and there is nothing to be concerned about. That said, I don’t believe in chance. Most geopolitical outcomes are influenced by internationalist players, which makes the outcomes of these events predictable. This is what made the Brexit predictable, and it is what made Trump’s victory predictable. Everything about the confluence of political and economic events in 2017 suggests to me a festering crisis atmosphere.
As I have always said, economic collapse is a process, not a singular moment in time. This process lulls the masses into complacency. You can show them warning sign after warning sign, but most of them have no concept of what a collapse is. They are waiting for a cinematic moment of revelation, a financial explosion, when really, the whole disaster is happening in slow motion right under their noses. Economies do not explode, they drown as the water rises one inch at a time.

Agree wholeheartedly in your assessment of the fallacy of viewing the world through Hollywood-style pyrotechnics. The financial apocalypse has already happened. It is just not evenly distributed as yet!
written by stevenguinness , March 08, 2017
Glad you picked up on the timing of upcoming events. Pretty much everyone else within independent media is consumed by Trump's daily ramblings on Twitter.
Just to add to the list, the Dutch general election is also held on March 15th. Geert Wilders has been the favourite to win for a while, but probably wouldn't be able to command a majority in their parliament. None of the other parties in Holland are entertaining the idea of a forming a coalition with them. I can see him winning the election, but as with Austrian vote last December, the EU may 'dodge a bullet' as it were and not have to contend with an actual Wilders government. But the psychology of his victory will still be there - he may not become the Prime Minister, but he still gained the most votes. The narrative of growing 'nationalism/populism' in the EU would then move into the French election.
On March 16th, same day that the debt ceiling suspension is lifted, Donald Trump's latest executive order on immigration comes into effect. A almost too perfect distraction mechanism from anything go on within the world of economics. Leftists/Progressives will be screaming bloody murder whilst the fed raise rates and the debt ceiling breaches $20 trillion.
March 17th is the deadline for French presidential candidates to put themselves forward. It looks like Francois Fillon will make the list, but on March 15th he will be officially summoned over claims that he paid his wife for a 'fake' job that never actually existed.
And then there is the latest G20 Finance Ministers meeting. Shockingly, this takes place on the 17th and 18th March.
In amongst all this you have more false fundamentals due for release both in the EU and the US. Next EU inflation number is March 16th.
The next US inflation number, however, comes on the same day that the Fed announce the interest rate. This would sets up a nice bit of theatre, especially if it doesn't come in at the expected rate. I can almost see the CNBC panel now - is this a spanner in the works guys? Might the fed change tack at the 11th hour? No, they won't. Rates are going up no matter the number.
I rarely believe in coincidence any more. Ever since you pointed out that the BIS met during the Brexit referendum I have been suspicious of the movements of globalists. I was right to be given that they met again on the same day as the US election.
So far the BIS have not released any of their planned meeting dates for 2017. When they do it will be interesting to see if any of them correlate with upcoming elections in particular.
written by Brandon Smith , March 08, 2017
@steven
Yes, there are so many fiscal and geopolitical events just this month I could not cover them all. It's truly amazing.
It's funny that you bring up the BIS meetings being unlisted lately. I have been watching and waiting and checked again in preparation for this very article and - nothing! I suspect that after the very blatant meetings they held during the Brexit and the US election that they have decided to reduce their visibility a little.

Very Great BrandonSMITH article and Special Thanks to StevenGUINNESS !
From France, nothing to add as you were more thorough as I could.
Just about the gran plan :
OUR Enemies are playing with Black Magic, especially NUMEROLOGY and MOON.
As you know TRUMP election (8 NOv) was birthday of Soviet revolution. Tenure of Banksters meetings etc... and 9 months before the ECCLIPSE OF AUGUST 21 TH 2017.
They display that date in US series as COLONY for example talking about Death Camp and count down...
When TRUMP won I made alleageance to Brandon that there would be a collapse.
It cannot not happen this year. Nerves are going to be provoked.
Just to set the ambiance : in France, the candidate fabricated 100 % by corp media, a banker as near as Rothschild Klan as LLoyd Blankfein in USA, the so-called MACRON, is all about Killing the last 'LITTLE WHITEs' still resistant by dodging a bullet in their heads for ... treason. You wan Surrealism ... Call FRANCE anytime.
In Dombass , Ukrain, the situation is also escallating and Poronchenko is about to be taken down by Nazi to begin war fully trying to provoke Russia into WWIII and blame her for it.

No idea whether it is relevant or not, but March 15th is also the Ides of March, and the day that Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC.
Do you think dates like this are of any significance to globalists? Or do they perhaps realise that people will try and scrabble around to make these connections and thus become too focused on it?
The Fed raising rates on the 15th won't immediately do any visible damage (I assume markets will be fairly muted given they now expect a hike), but looking back might it prove a key date in the pending downturn of the US economy?

They do seem to be obsessed with numerology. Here is the IMF's Christine Lagarde giving a very strange speech about numerology to the National Press Club:

As far as the effects of the rate hikes go, you are correct. The effects will not be immediate. I believe we will start to see Dow reversal around June/July and that this will snowball into 2018. I do think that after a hike in June (or before), stock buybacks will begin to die off and markets will start to panic.

He has not my vote for migration and identity pbs BUT his program is constantly focused on the main pb :
FREXIT from EU, EURO and NATO.
Very serious guy, from a french perspective (Stateman, Economics genius...)

Could press Marine Le Pen to actual FREXIT (she is vague on purpose and annonces rather negociations like former UK prime Minister did before organizing BREXIT eventually). But here we are deep into the hand of ...CIA.

The whole 40 year neoliberal economic policy was an experiment to prove that the nation-state (democracy) was no longer necessary, that the markets could control society and the world.
"Trickle down" meant the siphoning off of the government's ability to create money using fiscal policy (except of course, for bank bailouts and defense spending) and handing over money creation to private banks. They abused this right, injecting most of it into the finance sector, causing hedge fund speculation bubbles while allowing the industrial economy (manufacturing, job creation) to whither.
Even though they FAILED spectacularly, as evidenced in the 2008 $29 TRILLION private bank bailouts, they are still trying to implement their dystopic dream of not only drowning government in the bathtub, but capitalism as well!
This is not good because when a sovereign nation loses its ability to create its own money, it ends up like the EU, borrowing into endless debt and being forced to sell off national assets and resources.
Technocracy originated in the 30's but resurfaced in the 70's. They eventually want to replace monetary currency with something called "energy credits". (It's on their website.)
"Investor’s Business Daily reports on a news conference last week in Brussels, where Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, admitted that the goal of environmental activists is not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism.
“This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution,” she said.
Referring to a new international treaty environmentalists hope will be adopted at the Paris climate change conference later this year, she added:
“This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model for the first time in human history.”

Hi Brandon
What do you make of the Economist 2017 front cover?
You mentioned "fiscal earthquakes" and I saw a couple of earthquakes on the Economist 2017 Front Cover tarot cards.

(There are plenty of these on Youtube by the way)
I think it's fascinating. I'd love to hear your interpretations of this. I imagine one could do an exceedingly long piece on this subject !
For instance the wheel of fortune clearly shows Merkel on the way down and Wilders on the way up.
As the Economist is part Rothschild owned and they employees that attend Bilderberg meetings they literally know things that we don't.
And I do believe these elites are arrogant enough to put this stuff out there in our faces.

Weirdness from the word weird. Most of the time now it's meaning is that something is strange, odd, not understood. And it used to be more about fate, destiny, the gods, the supernatural.
Perhaps the seer that warned Julius Caesar was just gifted in interpreting the political currents of his time. Perhaps he understood enough of what was going on but others just thought he was a bit weird.

@ yeti.
I think you posted that link on the Economist Tarot spread a while back. Thx for that. I spent a bit of time listening to interpretations (most worse than others!) and contemplating the cards myself. So much interesting stuff contained therein but I got a little stuck on “The Star” and still have not come across any convincing explanation for that one… which is probably the most important being the last one in the spread… but staying attuned.
One thing no one seemed to pick up on was the absence of the numbers usually attributed to the major arcana. I thought this was deliberate, as they could allude to specific dates as did the scores (11.5 and 11.3) on the arrows on the 2015 cover allude to the Paris attacks on 11/13/15 from 2015. In that sense the Star (XVII) serves the simple purpose of denoting 2017.
I leave it for you to play with the others. There are LOTS of possible combinations.
“TAROT” as it appears on Wheel of Fortune in the Rider Waite Deck (on which the Economist’s variations are based) has only one “T” and also spells “TORA” backwards… but I won’t start again on the Zionists : ) no matter how obvious this cabbalistic connection is… Tora is also Japanese for “Tiger” and was the code word used by the Japanese when they bombed of Pearl Harbour.
After identifying 4/20/17 as a date of significance I was surprised when I later came across this from Jim Rickards. Not sure how significant the event will prove but thought I would throw it into the financial mix of March madness.

I am certain that Trump is in on the con, but what about Le Pen? Perhaps her father was the real deal, but I am uncertain about her. She may just be playing the role.

The Masonic/Zionist/Luciferian elites are following the allegory of Hiram Abiff with the major false flag attacks. In the story, Hiram Abiff was murdered in Solomon's Temple by three "ruffians." The first attacker came from the East Gate, second from the South Gate, and the third from the West Gate.
East Gate = 9/11 in New York/Washington (WTC 7 was even called the Salomon Brothers Building)
South Gate = 6/11 Orlando Pulse Nightclub Hoax - this one took place in the morning hours of 6/12, but the event began on 6/11 to carry out the ritual (perhaps they thought it'd be too obvious to actually have it occur on 6/11)
West Gate = 3/11 false flag attack on the West Coast (likely Seattle) by "terrorists" or a rogue state like North Korea. We'll probably be told Russia was involved too. Heck, they could say Russia worked with NKorea and Isis, and most would believe it.

You say so-called elites of the world are not worried about Brexit and it will move forward, but most others say they will not allow it to happen.
I submit for your consideration that both sides are right.
With a two year "negotiation" period before any REAL Brexit can occur, and a crash eminent here actively being created by the FED, it is clear the end game is in progress.
Nobody will care about the EU, Brexit, or anything else once they have kicked off the global war. Since they will not let the UK leave the EU, the announcement of withdrawal starts the clock and at some point between now the close of the 2 year period the war will be started.
Wars are government creations and there is nothing the people can do to prevent them, and little they can do avoid the consequences. Keeping out of it is about all one can hope to do as the worlds governments kill the worlds people.
Start your clock for March 15, 2019. The war will arrive before then and there will be no Brexit or United States left to worry about.
The people will never learn the only lesson history really teaches. Governments kill people and serve no other purpose. If you want peace, government must be eliminated.Government is nothing more than a few people seeking to control a lot of people through force.

I am relatively confident that the EU will in fact break up, at least in part. Brexit will move forward.

After some digging around I found out that on the same day as round one of the French election - April 23rd - it's also the last day of the Spring Meetings of the World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund in Washington DC.
Part of the official blurb reads: The Meetings bring together central bankers, ministers of finance and development, private sector executives, civil society, and academics to discuss issues of global concern, including the world economic outlook, global financial stability etc...
They always have this meeting in April, it's just a case now of whether the election has been deliberately timed to coincide with it. All feels very similar to the US election when the BIS were meeting.

Hi Brandon
Thanks for your intelligent analysis.
I think your explanations are making a lot of sense.
So many relevant events are planned on March.
The link of turtlefeet about the April the 21st was also interesting, regarding the BRICS getting a veto power at the IMF and the possibility that the USD will then loose its world money status.
So all that makes sense, the elites would not save the system this time, they even would have planned and organized this coming crash, all of that to free the path to a new world currency and government.
Very logical and I am ready to believe it.
I have only one doubt:
sometimes i think the elite are not so well organized and the whole financial system is driving to the wall without any pilot, more like a chaotic system.
But reading your blog is quite convincing that they actually ARE organized.
It is also facts that the horus eye (a symbol of freemasons & secret societies) is present on the USD and on the french declaration of human rights.
It is also facts that ALL top politicians are members of these secret societies.
But now my question to you Brandon:
if the elite want to crash the system to build a new world order, why did they save it in 2008?
I mean, they had a perfect crash, why waiting 9 more years?
Just in order to put populists as scapegoats (Brexit, Trump)?
I all looks like they just wanted to avoid the crash in 2008, a crash that was caused by their greed, basically by the greed of everyone, including the small people.
If nothing come as an accident, what was the purpose of the 2008 crash and why did they "save" the system and postpone the new world order?
Or maybe they were not ready? Maybe they needed to replace DSK at the IMF first?
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards

@Milin
You make the assumption that the globalists had a "perfect crash" in 2008; that is incorrect. They had a potential Great Depression-style crash, but not one that would bring down the US Dollar as the world reserve currency or the US overall. We would have recovered if we had taken our medicine then, and in reality a deflationary crisis tends to make currencies like the dollar STRONGER.
The 2008 crash gave the globalists the perfect rationale to hyperinflate the dollar through QE and put its world reserve status at risk. Also, people seem to forget that the economic crisis in itself is NOT the end goal; the end goal is the psychological manipulation of the masses to ACCEPT or even DEMAND greater centralization and more power to the globalists themselves. This takes time. You cannot flip people like a light switch.
If the globalists had allowed the 2008 crash to play out fully, they would not have achieved any of their goals.

That is the theory put forward in the very good book, Creature from Jekyll Island. By the time the globalists get done devastating the world, people will beg for their so called solution. Brandon has recommended this book before.

Those cards on Economist magazine are indeed interesting. The fact that most people don't consider it to be anything more than just art makes it the perfect place to hide something in plain sight.
I've yet to hear anyone actually consider that the "Death" card could actually be a reference to the biblical texts.
In Revelation 6, it's mentioned that the fourth horse is called "Death" and he rides a pale horse, which is exactly what is depicted in that card. This fourth horse is to bring death in various forms, like in food shortage (the dry river and the dead fish) and deadly plague (the flies can spread plague), both of which could be associated with a big economic crisis.
In fact, the third horse which comes before this fourth one is a horse with a pair of scales, which of course represents money or the economy. A major inflation in commodity prices unlike anything that has ever happened before in the west is to happen with this third horse, as it's said in the text that with just a one day's wage you can only buy enough food for yourself.
So if it's indeed the fourth horse from the biblical texts that is depicted in that Death card then it could mean that these globalists are expecting an economic crisis to happen during this year, as the fourth horse doesn't come before the third, which as I said represented major inflation in commodity prices.

Will the FED start another QE if a recession is noticed by the general public to prolong the "collapse of faith in the US Dollar"?
The US plans to have Full Spectrum Dominance by 2020 and the Ability to manipulate the Weather by 2025. Could they have planned a war(like Steve Bannon predicted
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/feb/02/steve-bannon-donald-trump-war-south-china-sea-no-doubt)? Bannon even sad himself that Trump is merely a tool(http://www.vanityfair.com/news...aster-plan)
Considering this it seems to me that they have planned the fourth turning as Bannon called it.It might help them to disguise the real reasons for the economic collapse that happened over several years.
What do you think of this?
Also the RAND Report said that a War in 2025 would result in heavy losses and be extremly brutal as Bannon said. So the longer they wait the better because the next Collapse may be bigger than the Great Depression with 90 Million unemployed and ready to revolt.

Hi again Brandon,
Thank your for your reply.
You are perfectly right in your answer, 2008 was the banking crisis not yet the national debt crisis, let alone the currency crisis.
They needed a collapse of the curr_encies (especially the U_S_D), not of the ba_nks.
So the governments saved the ba_nks (bail-in) and started stimulus plans and by contagion they got themselves over-indebted.
Third step, the central ba_nks rescued the governments by starting Quantitative Easing plans, increasing their balance sheet exponentially and making their curr_encies potentially worthless.
This is the same as someone trying to pull drowning people out of the river and drowning himself.
So by contagion the ba_nks, then the nations and finally the curr_encies (the central ba_nks) are getting bankrupt.
As in the Minsky moment theory, the whole system is basically growing on a perpetual increase of the debt and get finally trapped in a debt spiral until being completely insolvent.
Your second point is about psychology. So the elite needed 9 more years to let the people realize by themselves that they demand a centralized global currency (and central fiscal system and then a central government) and that other alternative were not working.
I got your points, this is perfectly clear and rational. Thank you Brandon.
Best Regards

But Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus formally signed an agreement on May 29, 2014. Putin said that the group, formally known as the Eurasian Economic Union, had the potential to create a global transportation hub joining the trade flows of Europe and Asia.
With the way things have been going with Russia and America, and all of the really crazy things that Obama did in the Middle East and in the Ukraine. It's starting to look as though we are being subverted by Russia and China. When you take into account that Trump has just sold us out to China with the PPP (public private partnership) and Elaine Chao (Chairman Chao) gets to execute the plan to sell our INFRASTRUCTURE to the highest bidder. I would be willing to bet that Europe will soon join Putin and his buddies in this new venture.

No. It has little to do with Russia or China. The globalists dominate policy in Russia and China just as they dominate policy in the US. Henry Kissinger is adviser to Vladimir Putin just as he is adviser to Trump. China and Russia work closely with the IMF and BOTH countries have openly called for a new global currency system controlled by the IMF. Meaning, they want more power for the globalists, not more power for themselves.
The East/West paradigm is a farce, and all this nonsense about Trump working for the Russians is a distraction from the real conspiracy - internationalist financiers and political manipulators control BOTH sides of the chess board. They are the real enemy, not Putin or the Chinese. They are secondary problems.

The above analysis is fine but is there not room somewhere for some patriotic Nationalist leaders? Don't the Chinese or Putin or Trump for that matter actually think that their country is better than the others and the last thing they would want to do is surrender their sovereignty to the globalists. I understand they may need to make some compromises for their OWN country's benefit ie. to play along to some degree but find it difficult to accept they are all in on the globalists' one world govt plan. And to call them ignorant pawns is also not going to work. I think the issue is that there is some fight in them but they are just not sure how to coordinate their efforts with the collective support of their people against the globalists who continually play divide and conquer at all levels.

@turtlefeet
No, there is no room or evidence for such a claim. Trump is either being used, or he is a partner in crime just like Putin and the Chinese. ALL of them are surrounded by banking elites and globalists, or they work directly with globalists.
People want to believe that there are national leaders that are against the globalists because they are desperate to feel that they are not alone in this fight. We are alone. No nation or leader is coming to help us. This fight will be decided by common men. Get used to the idea.

I appreciate your insight. If the EU breaks up and starts joining the Eurasian Economic Union, that would be really bad.
In the end, I'm afraid we will have to choose between Sharia and Communism. Now I understand the term, better red than dead.
Thanks Again :)

Ironically, I really doubt the zionist entity will ever surrender its new found nationalism to a world goy government... or is there something I am missing?
Don't worry, I am more than prepared to fight if it comes to that but in the meantime I will continue to hold out hope despite the nihilists.

The Israeli government is run by globalists that exploit Zionism. They don't actually believe in Zionism, and they would happily sacrifice Israel if it was useful for them to do so.

Facts mixed with bias. The elites are not Zionist. They aided the rise of Hitler in Germany and the deaths of millions of Jews. They aided the Bolsheviks and yet again the deaths of millions of Jews in Russia. This hardly constitutes the actions of a "Jews first" organization. The anti-zionist crowd and stormfront (stormfags) will never accept that their special bogeymen (the zionists) are actually errand boys for a much larger cabal which DOES NOT CARE about Jewish people or culture in the slightest.
We've already had this discussion, turtlefeet. We are not going to have it again.

I also have my easy suspects list but it is not usefull to debate endlessly on that topic.
Anyway I recently moved towards a cultural approach deep large thousands of years, so that it is hard to imagine a cabal upon so long a time span.
I recommend my FREE PDF on that matter :

In this new vision of centuries, I underline a constant spiritual shift from Paleolithic polar tradition to the present day.
Coping with Kennewick man too (~P220), it might interest Americans anyway.

FRANCE is spiraling out of the forecat trajectory as , AGAIN, favorite candidat is Under accusation (corruption). FILLONGATE
then remains Rothschild MACRON against Marine Le Pen.
written by Friend_of_France , March 15, 2017
I quote from redefininggod.com : 'Do you think it’s merely a coincidence that France’s Fillon was saddled with corruption charges, thus leaving Le Pen to square off against Macron, a former Rothschild banker, in the ultimate Anti-Establishment versus Establishment showdown? Again, the globalists are giving their controlled opposition candidate (Le Pen) a helping hand by eliminating a candidate that would have split her voting base.'

I've been backing Le Pen to win the French election for a while now but I've had this nagging doubt. I just worked out what that doubt is.
Le Pen would indeed make a good scapegoat for the globalists when they crash the world economy but I thought of one reason that they might not want her to win.
Marine Le Pen has consistently called out the anti Russia hysteria for the nonsense it is and said the EU should lift sanctions on Russia. Of course, France has nuclear weapons.
For all their reluctance to take the bait Russia are being set up for war.
Each step is gradually more provocative. An ambassador murdered here, an ambassador dropping dead there, Moscow subway attacks and then a direct attack on Syria.
At this rate they are going to leave Russia with no choice to retaliate, at which point they will get the war they have been craving so badly.
Will the globalists want Marine Le Pen in charge of a country with nuclear weapons if she is not a rabid Russiaphobe?
