As I predicted in my article 'Trump Trade Wars A Perfect Smokescreen For A Market Crash', published in March of 2018, as well as in my article 'The Trade War Distraction: Huawei And Linchpin Theory', published in December of 2018, the US/China trade dispute has escalated into an all out war with no end in sight. The claims of many analysts and skeptics a year ago that the trade war would be over quickly and that China would fold to US tariffs has been proven incorrect. The reason why these analysts got it so wrong centers primarily on their misunderstanding of the true purpose behind the events.
The goal of this war is NOT to balance the US trade deficit or pursue more fair circumstances for US exports and imports. The intention of the Trump Administration is NOT to fight back against Chinese “exploitation” of US markets, this kind of rhetoric is pure theater. Nor is it Trump's intention to undermine globalist structures or agreements in order to bring back American manufacturing (a carrot that has been flaunted in front of American faces for a long time to lure them into supporting destructive policies such as dollar devaluation). On the contrary, the real purpose of Trump's trade war is to provide a distraction massive enough to cover for the controlled demolition of the US economy and parts of the global economy by globalists and the central banks they control.
The tariff soap opera and most of Trump's other foreign and domestic policies are eerily similar to those of Herbert Hoover just before the advent of the Great Depression. This is not a coincidence. The narrative for an economic collapse rivaling that of the Great Depression has been set, and the root circumstances are very similar.
Since the crash of 2008, the US has been suffering a slow grinding decline in fundamentals (the collapse of an empire often takes time). The response of central banks was to slow the crash using stimulus measures and near zero interest rates, but this strategy was not meant to reverse US economic decline. The purpose of QE was meant to inflate an even larger bubble than before, one that would encompass every aspect of the economy including the dollar; a bubble that when popped would devastate the US specifically and create panic around the world.
Now the stimulus phase of the globalist agenda is over. US M2 money supply growth has been decelerating and is hovering near 10 year lows, while stimulus measures have evaporated in most countries except China. Global dollar liquidity has been dwindling as the Federal Reserve continues to cut its balance sheet unabated.
This would explain why US equities are struggling to stay afloat despite the fact that corporate buybacks of stocks have increased to historic highs in 2019. Central banks, most importantly the Fed, are no longer propping up the system; the life support has been pulled and the parts of the economy that have been dependent are taking their last breaths.
The trade war situation as it is now is not enough of a distraction in my view, however. At least one more major event with global ramifications (or perceived global ramifications) is needed by the elites before they can implode the 'Everything Bubble' without taking the blame for the consequences.
Trade War Shock And Awe
There are several powderkegs that exist today that would serve the purpose of occupying the minds of the masses while the globalists finalize the crash. As noted, I continue to predict the trade war as it stands will accelerate unabated until the plunge in fundamentals and equities is complete. We haven't seen anything yet as far as trade war chaos.
The US/China conflict has the potential to become an economic world war, with multiple countries beginning to take sides. Japan and the UK have opted to support US interests, which is not surprising since China and Japan have hated each other for generations and the US is the UK's strongest economic partner in the wake of the Brexit. Already some people are declaring this to mean that the US will gain the majority of global support and crush China.
But keep in mind, as I outlined and evidenced in my recent article 'America Will Lose The Trade War Because That Is What Globalists Want To Happen', the trade war itself is a farce on both sides of the Pacific, as both China and the US are controlled by the same financial power centers (such as the Bank for International Settlements). The fact that some people are jumping on the patriot bandwagon to cheer for expanded confrontation with China as if a globalist engineered war is a war we can "win" is disturbing and sad to witness. My suspicion is that there is a concerted disinformation campaign in play on the internet to drum up the false impression of consensus support for the trade war while the activities of the real villains (the international banks) are ignored.
As this Kabuki theater moves forward, I think many analysts will find themselves shocked as more and more nations start taking China's side in the conflict.
The most powerful option China has at its disposal is the dumping of US Treasuries and the dollar as the world reserve mechanism, but it is likely to use this tactic only when the US economy is at its most unstable. China is the number one exporter/importer in the world and the US consumer is ready to tap out as retail numbers stumble and household debt skyrockets. The US market is only 18% of Chinese exports, a sizable piece of the pie, but hardly a devastating blow to the Chinese economy should it be denied to them.
The bottom line is that China will ultimately dictate global trade terms as they possess the largest manufacturing base, they decide what currency they will accept, and whose debt they will prop up. China has also established very close economic ties with key nations over the past decade, including Russia, Germany, India, Australia, and even Saudi Arabia. Do not be surprised if most if not all of these nations eventually support China in the trade war, dropping the dollar as the reserve currency and following China's lead.
Skeptics of this outcome are pretty much the same people that originally claimed the trade war would be over by now and that Trump would be victorious. They will cry foul today at the idea that the globalists have rigged the game and that the US is being set up to fail, but when they are shown to be wrong once again they will state proudly that they "saw it coming all along".
China has yet to fully retaliate against the latest increase in US tariffs. When it does, the attack will be far larger than cutting off purchases of US agricultural goods. The next escalation could be the trigger than sends the crash into overdrive.
Iran War Looming
War with Iran at this time makes no sense whatsoever unless you look at it from a globalist perspective. The globalists are the only group that stands to gain from such catastrophe, as war with Iran would seal the fate of the US economy. The most immediate threat would be the potential shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran, which would take nothing more than sinking a few large cargo vessels along the narrow and more shallow portions of the straight, placing mine fields, or staging anti-ship missiles within striking range. The subsequent explosion in oil prices would be devastating to the global economy and the US economy would struggle under high energy prices even with expanded domestic oil drilling.
In the longer term complete destabilization of the Middle East would result, well beyond what we have already seen, and the costs to taxpayers as well as the cost in American lives would be high. Beyond this, the distraction would be epic and very effective. This event coupled with the trade war would fulfill the globalist narrative that the Trump Administration and the conservatives that support him are a “menace” to global stability. Any financial crash at that point would undoubtedly be blamed on Trump as well as his supporters.
Currently, the mainstream media is very quiet on the Iran situation despite the sudden shift of US military resources to the region, which leads me to believe that a conflict is being planned in the near term.
Brexit Finalized
This event may not be concluded until the end of this year, but I still maintain as I always have that the Brexit and the growth of populism in Europe is a distraction that has actually been encouraged by globalists through the use of forced mass immigration measures to terrify the citizenry. I successfully predicted the outcome of the Brexit vote in 2016 based on this theory, and it still holds true so far today.
The “rise of the populists” in Europe and the US at the exact same time that central banks are withdrawing liquidity and at the exact same time that fundamentals are plummeting is yet another unlikely coincidence.
The only event that was needed to fulfill the populist takeover narrative was a major win by a nationalist party on the European mainland. Thanks to French president Macron being the worst leader in recent French history, that event has occurred. Marine Le Pen's National Rally Party has overtaken Macron's LREM party in the EU parliamentary elections. The populists have gained ground in Italy and Germany as well; not enough to retain any real influence, but enough to get blamed for the financial disaster that is about to happen.
The final plot twist the elites need in the EU, I believe, is a no-deal Brexit. I predict the Brexit will conclude and that the UK will indeed break with the EU. The latest announcement of Theresa May's resignation seems to indicate that this will be the case, and that a no-deal scenario is the most probable scenario. The EU has publicly stated that there will be NO renegotiations of the Brexit deal after May leaves. Sovereignty activists will cheer the Brexit outcome, and then things will start to go horribly wrong. European markets will tank and certain major banks (Deutsche Bank and Italian majors?) will announce insolvency. The panic felt in 2008 will return and hit the EU and the UK hard, and the Brexit movement will get the blame while central banks escape any culpability.
Only one of these events is needed to initiate the next stage of economic collapse, but it is possible we will see all three occur in due course. While the current crash started at the end of 2018, the year of 2019 will probably be the one that is most remembered in history books as the beginning of Great Depression 2.0.

Yes Brandon, and just like the first great depression, we are experiencing agricultural weather issues across the Earth. Volcanic ash being pumped into the atmosphere is causing havoc. One need only look at the farm community in the United States or in your own community at the cool, rainy pattern that has settled in. So inflation in our food prices is only just begun.

Apparently you also do not like Donald Trump, Brandon. And here I thought you were a conservative. You come off as a whining cry baby who is trying to blame Trump for our economy. I know you know better Brandon, so why the diatribe about laying this in Trump's lap.
You know damned good and well that our president does not and cannot do a thing about where our economy goes, as that is the purview of the banking cabal. AND YES, it is about to collapse, because Congress did not force any changes from those banking entities after the last crash in 08.
Dodd/Frank did not do a thing to stop the banks from gambling in the derivatives market, and with it now at over hundreds of trillions, the FDIC has been instructed to pay off that market first before ever having to pay us for our losses up to two hundreds and fifty thousand per account.
Add that to what the banks have been allowed which is to consider our deposits as loans to the bank, thus our money is not really our money as long as it sits in a bank.
Maybe you should try and cover that angle, instead of trying to make it appear that the coming crash will be Trump's fault.
written by Jaxellen , May 29, 2019
Unfortunately, Brandon is correct. Trump is a puppet of the global banking elite/cabal. He has written articles about it, please reference them. What is the true desire of said elite? Perhaps a new world order? Then to get to it, the US must collapse, and Trump will usher it in as a good puppet will. We have been warned.
written by Waking up. , May 29, 2019
I don't recall Brandon trying to make it appear that the coming crash will be Trump's fault. What I read was that Brandon said that the GLOBALIST have orchestrated everything (world events as they always have regardless of who is President with maybe a few exceptions) to make it appear that it is Trumps fault so that they, the Globalist remain invisible and can continue running things on the other side of this collapse.
People we need to wake up and take the world back from these Globalist!!

Apparently your reading comprehension skills need some work...
At no point have I ever blamed Trump for the decline in the US economy. I have stated time and time again that Trump is a WILLING SCAPEGOAT, a puppet for the globalists who are the true culprits behind the creation and crash of the everything bubble.
In your blind Trump worshiping stupor I think you read what you wanted to read, instead of what I actually wrote. Either that, or you are attempting to conjure a strawman argument, which would be a VERY poor tactic to try to use against me.
If you want to argue the fact that Trump is a puppet for the elites, then by all means, let's do it. You will lose, but at least it would be an honest argument on your part.

Brendan, I share your theory of the financial elites planning to crash the western economies in order to create chaos and thus to (try to) establish the new world order where they take over the command. But my brain is refusing to accept that the old sage chinese civilization is going to willingly follow the scenario written in Basel, London, Zurich or you name it!
The Chinese have always considered the westerners (actually all non-chinese) as barbarians. Now when they have become a real world power after many hundreds of years of suffering inflicted upon them by the „long-noses“, are they supposed to put themselves in danger of being enslaved by them again?
Similar holds true -if not quite the same way - for the Russians. Putin knows that he cannot trust the west which had been trying to overturn the country for many hundreds of years. Putin and Xi know exactly that the western countries are done, broke, fainting without any idea of a national resurrection.
I believe (or hope so) that the new world order will not be dominated by the financial elites alone. The power will be rather shared between them and the Chinese (and the Russians).

@madness
The evidence does not support your theory. China has been a vassal nation of the Rockefellers since the late 1800's. The Rockefeller Institute has been influencing their political and social policies for decade.
It has been China which has been the loudest supporter of the IMF and the SDR basket system. So much so that they called for the SDR to replace the dollar as the world reserve mechanism, and they coupled the Yuan to the SDR basket. China's central bank continues to remain a member bank of the BIS, and the BIS controls and coordinates the policy initiatives of every member bank. China is not independent from the elites in the slightest.
Putin is LONG time friends with Henry Kissinger. He openly admits to it in his autobiography of his life leading up to becoming president of Russia. He first met Kissinger on a limo ride where they discussed working in covert ops (Putin was KGB/FSB). Putin continues to have regular lunches with Kissinger and Kissinger sits on Russian advisory panels to the Kremlin.
Goldman Sachs and the Rothschilds continue to operate with impunity in Russia, despite ridiculous claims by some people that Putin "kicked them all out". Goldman Sachs has advised the Kremlin on economic policies on multiple occasions. The Kremlin under Putin, as with China, has openly called for the IMF to take control of the global monetary system and replace the dollar with the SDR basket. Their central bank is also tied to the BIS.
Eastern politicians and banking moguls have joined the new world order elites in the goal of creating a one world system. They don't care about their own nations or peoples. They want a "seat at the table" and all the benefits that go with it.

A true clean float of all currencies against a neutral reserve asset is exactly what we need. A single nation's debt should not be the global reserve asset. Currency should not be used as savings. It is a medium of exchange, not a store of value.
We will see what happens when the USD loses global reserve leader status.

It's all very well discussing the mechanisms that are intended to bring about The NWO - and Brandon does a better job of that than almost anyone else out there - HOWEVER the question STILL remains:
What philosophy "informs" the NWO and what is its end-goal?
I defer to George Orwell in that regard:
"If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever".
So its either 'Fight now" or "get your face kicked in - REPEATEDLY - later"
Or maybe you "feel lucky"? Lucky enough to make it unscathed as a useful lick-spittle cog into THAT future?

@Micheal
Well, since they always print the money, and always control the new world reserve currency after a shift, they are always going to come out on top financially.
There has been a LOT of precious metals stockpiling by major banks and some central banks lately. I suspect this is because they know that the dollar is about to be brought down and metals are a perfect hedge.
written by The Last Brexiteer , May 29, 2019
In the UK, since 2017, several major and several minor banks have significantly reduced thier exposure to risk by reducing thier debt exposure to the consumer markets (retail, housing, luxury goods, cars, etc).
Several major UK businesses (such as British Steel, Debenhams, Boots, etc) have faced collapse due to finance agreements and loans not being rolled over.
Several major and minor banks have also withdrawn from the mortgage market and sold thier books (thereby removing the risk of being caught with countless repossesions/foreclosures 'Detroit style' if /when interests rise or the economy tanks with mass unemployment).
Many people have noticed other signs of some form of new/renewed financial crisis brewing and the so called 'smart money' is seeking to mitigate exposure to consumer debt risk and inflated markets such as UK house prices.
Brexit is being used as cover for this but the cover was blown when British Steel collapsed and was not bailed out. Investigations and admissions showed this was due to EU rules baring Government bailouts, nothing at all to do with 'Brexit uncertainty' as had previously been the official excuse for the collapse of businesses and market downturns.
I concur that the US is being set up for a fall. It has weaponised its own assets, which only accelerates peoples defence seeking behaviour and the demise of those very assets currently being used as weapons.

We are in fact "ruled" by a Cabal Of Satanists bent on the obliteration of all that is good, wholesome and holy - INCLUDING the Human Spirit.

Wouldn’t the Stockholm Syndrome argument be applicable to Globalist Love, rather than Trump Love. It is the unrequited love of our globalist captors that has led the USA to this Great Depression II.
If Charles Hugh Smith is right, the USA won’t come out on the bottom, but will return to its agricultural roots, albeit probably not in a Jeffersonian small-farmer kind of way. The big monopoly farmers are kind of taking it on the chin “As the Globalist Turns,” though.
Maybe, it’s all part of the plan. Who knows whether the Amercan Serfs could survive the higher food prices, in combo with the Luciferian rent prices. But since womb-productive citizens & noncitizens get theirs free, who cares, says the Globalists no more or less than the Populists.
The USA is one of the countries with more natural resources to weather an Economy of Scarcity. Two others in this hemisphere are Argentina and Brazil. In Europe, it is France that leads in Ag production, not Britain and not Germany. Where’s Germany going to get its Ag from if they support China in the case of any break with the dollar? Russia? Ukraine?
The USA sprung from the Brits via French financing. After the big fight in WWII, Japan has actually been a better friend to the US than most, putting a lot of jobs here when Americans complained about their tarriffs in the Eighties. They don’t just thumb their noses at the USA.
I guess Brandon would consider this a type of magical thinking since the Globalists are really just running a numbers game. It’s not just globalists but individuals with tons of money, trying to figure out where to put it, who might have adopted that CHS theory long ago.
Years ago, I attended a lecture with Michael Burry, the Big Short guy. I just went because of curiosity about economics. But the people in the audience (other than the professors) mostly asked him questions about investing.
He dissed fiat currency, mentioning investments in almond farms. I hate to reveal how ignorant I was, but I really had no idea what he meant about “fiat” at the time.
My mind keyed in on his comment about the fact that the housing market would not rise again until incomes stabilized. That’s not likely to happen in a churn / gig economy or in an economy where scarce natural resources reside in the hands of a few.
If globalization morphs into a scarcity economy, focused on divvying up dwindling natural resources, almond farms would be a smart investment, no? He said something about almonds using less water to grow. So, it’s kind of cost-effective from two standpoints: 1) supplying food in a scarcity economy and 2) using less natural resources.
He predicted the housing collapse.
Invest in almonds and gold, you take-it-all / have-it-all top 20r;s in your family-friendly, absenteeism-friendly, crony-parent jobs.

That is just another false carrot promise for the public to get them to support bad economic policy. It is a lie that mainstream economists were telling people after the 2008 crash when considerable printing and devaluation occurred, yet manufacturing jobs continued to flow overseas and US exports dwindled.
Currency devaluation does not help your exports if you have a decaying manufacturing base and no incentives for companies to keep jobs here. There are MANY places with cheap currencies and cheap labor that also have more manufacturing capacity than the US. We simply cannot compete.
Quality production is the only avenue that we could possibly start to compete again, but good luck rebuilding the manufacturing capacity to support that kind of renewal. The globalists will never allow it while they are alive.

written by Tunguska , May 30, 2019
Many have asked several times what is the ultimate goal of the supposed plan or "NWO". I think we all agree on the sequence of a false multipolar world led into the classic wheel of commercial war, economic war, and warlike confrontation as a tool or smokescreen to really force the changes that the elite wants.
Now, it is more than clear that the United States will lose its global hegemony (and play the role of the bogeyman), but in my opinion, only that. The goal is to add more and more slaves to the pyramid of productivity and consumption. It is this mechanism that the elite has managed to transform the world in the last 200 years. A whole planet working at half salary (or even less), accelerates the concentration of power and technological advances.
It is more than clear that the "New Silk Road", the BRICS, the G-77+China and other alliances or organizations orchestrated "by the east" are intended to profoundly transform the countries that have not yet climbed into this productive channel. What I mean by this? That the old scheme of exporting countries of raw materials will be replaced by another subtly industrialized one. In the first place, South America will undergo major changes, transforming that area into the producer and main supplier of second-line goods to countries of the African continent, which will gradually enter in turn into that productive phase. Remember, a happy world is a consumerist and distracted world.

I think the real plan is the opposite - deindustrialization, population reduction, the use of robotics to fill labor needs, and the enslavement of the population that is left alive. The elites want to become gods, so they'll need some worshipers.

Thank you very much for your response Brandon! I woudn't call it deindustrialization, but as you mention, it will replace many aspects of this by robotic work. But also will appear new jobs that control, create, administrate the AI (leaving a lot of people without work, for that they have the universal basic income) A kind of Stalinism / state capitalism 2.0). That said, I interpret the reduction of the population really focused on lowering the purchasing power -or economic step- of the middle class worldwide. It existense as a shield of the upper class has no longer function. The middle class would occupy a large base without the possibility of social mobility, but at the same time, without being immersed in the poverty of other centuries,becoming functionals consumers.
If the globalists want to be Gods, that God would want a few subjects/slaves? They have dominated the planet for many years now, so why they take the trouble to generate intricate and machiavellian maneuvers, develop and implement technology worldwide to study and manipulate the masses and then discard them ... eventually we would realize this. They could make this decades ago. With a pair of aircraft carriers and nuclear missiles(or some "disease"), is enough to keep those who survive their "selection" process keep in line (if we talking about submission and control by fear)
Now if we talk about giving our bodys and souls to the system, it is another issue.
Just my opinion!

With the advent of robotics they no longer need as many people to labor for them. Also, the liberty movement is growing in numbers and strength. Given another ten years, we would dominate the political and social sphere. They have to create a crisis large enough as cover to get rid of us as well as portions of the population that might pose a threat to them later.
written by Faust , May 30, 2019
The utopia scenario makes sense, but I can't imagine it going smoothly without a massive wipe-out of mostly all people used to a comfortable life, that meaning the middle class in the states, white people in particular, who have a genetic memory of the "American Dream" (no intention to discard latinos' and blacks' contribution, but they are so agitated by the media that the main thing on their mind is the payback for the years of enslavement).
Europe is inflated with the migrants too, who have no wish to even bother working. There might be exceptions, but those confirm the rule. Many areas of the cities are no-go zones already, and to force those people to get working won't be easy, given generations of social welfare. The middle class won't be happy with the plan either, so we are looking at a massive subjugation of the bolsheviks' scale.
Not saying it is impossible, since the police had been turned into a domestic military regime, but effort required from the satanists to perform their rite is of Goliath's scale. Not dismissing your judgement Brandon, but the elites are dealing with entirely different species of humans. The Russian Empire consisted of predominantly (more than 80%, don't remember the exact figure) peasants, and communism presented a new hope, since everyone hated the Tsar. The life of the people was miserable, and the dark ages of the Union was just another period of hell and suffering. The Westerners had a more fortunate past, and it is doubtful the scheme will be easily performed.
Thus, the crisis to be created has to be unprecedented so that Europe and the States will be the offspring of the Weimar Republic. I can't imagine how hard the punch needs to be to put the peoples' spirit low enough so they will accept a new saviour in the face of a complete dictatorship. We are not even mentioning China or India, not because of disrespect, but since those regions didn't have a fortune to live in European comfort.
Possibly I'm not aware of severity of the situation now, may be it is already at the stage for the hegemony to arrive, and the trade war and Iran invasion will finally bring about their fantasies. That will take some time, however, and things may go off the rails from the carefully prepared scenario.
Do you think their plan will go moothly, and how Russia will secure the distabilization of Europe?
written by Tunguska , May 30, 2019
@Faust something like you'are saying im trying to explain. I dont dismissing Brandon's point of view, i'm just theorizing. The liberty movement in my opinion is a tiny portion of people (unfortunately) compared to the entire population. And we in part exist because "they" allow us to know certain details. But one thing is to know, and another to do. I have no doubt that a centralized world government will gradually be established (demanded by the people, manipulated by a fake crisis/war/etc). And here is where they play as god's, they NEED your "divine will", submission, your soul or wathever you want to call it. It's not by force, it's by CHOICE. And that's very terryfing.
But they are also aware that there will be people like us who at some point will have to make the decision to continue in the system, or not. And Im' not counting the isolated groups of people who are not even aware of this and practice subsistence economy (inuits for example). For the system, locate and eliminate all those kinds of people around the world will be too expensive (because they're not a threat and is more effective to leave them in that "wild" state and focus on manipulate the rest of the globe -something very similar to "A Brave New World" scenario-.
I repeat, they control the system and the information, hence we must also doubt of our own conclusions.

Actually, we are a threat, which is why they have been spending billions of dollars to propagandize the population against us, while training to fight us (Jade Helm, etc.)
You overestimate their current influence. They don't control the entire system yet. Far from it. The NWO is a goal they have not yet attained, which is why they continually refer to it in the future tense.

It won't go smoothly. In fact, it will fail. But that will not stop them from making the attempt.

Another great article, Brandon. The end game approaches...
And @Forearmed, I wasn't expecting to chuckle on this site, but your comment had me laughing. I was certain it was parody until I realized you were serious. Hilarious.

Yes, there is only a tiny proportion of people relevantly aware of the true and bitter picture. But there is no way in hell for them to be allowing dangerous knowledge out in any shape or form.
The Internet is the greatest salvation of ours where knowledge is exchanged as never before. They realize that and so many materials are being erased from popular platforms. Remember the "we will not tolerate any conspiracy theories" speech after the 2001 Mossad job? And the treacherous report on the tragedy? They fear the truth, no matter how much power is in their hands.
They don't allow information, but suppress it instead. Kubrick's murder is an example of how much they fear it. And look at how successful are their attempts: populus is being fed nonsense, executed via the Protocols instructions. The only way out are honourable, independent, and bright authors for those seeking the truth. That is the ultimate enemy of theirs.
And although not many are aware of the real game played on them, plans in their perverted minds are unlikely to be accepted gladly. I have referred to the end of the Russian Empire purposely because intellectual class and anyone against the upcoming regime had been absolutely decimated.
For visualization, look up cheka's and nkvd's purges. Camera lenses were not wide enough for all the bodies.
In no way I disagree with the prominence of the NWO with it's satanic purpuse, and it's fulfilment will require monstrous repression. But we already have the police state successfuly established carrying out false flags on a regular basis, and that doesn't add much hope to the whole mess...

Hi @Brandon!
Anyone who intent to create a parallel system is a danger for them (like the anarchist movement in Spain in the early XX century) Who do you mean by us? the libertarian movement, the population in general or anyone who disagree? I understand that Jade Helm was something to take very seriuosly, but it happen in the States (well, it's a matter of time for a similar event take place on Europe, it's nothing new---->see Brunei) But, like i said before, they need a major event who force the people to ask for a policial-military state.
I think they spend more resources on distract or entertain the masses than fight against a few people with "crazy ideas" (thanks terraplanists and some other lunatic functional conspiracionist's payed by them!)
This is the inflection point in every debate about this topic: they control the entire system or not? can we fight them from inside? In my humble opinion, from inside we cant. It's impossible and a waste of time (and you can get killed in the process). The best we can do it's find a way to be self suficient, less dependent of the system and try to stay away from this psychopathic and sickness society. But i respect everyone who tried to fight and change things to better from inside.
@Faust
When i said that they allow to know certain things i mean, for example people like Julian Assange (who i think is working for them), Panama Papers (again, some "misteryous source", or their poorly planed "false flags" and finally, the internet, created by them (Pentagon and CERN). When you learn to see how they operate, they repeat the exact same pattern every time. Speaking clearly, many times they are VERY sloppy. Anyone with time and intelligence can notice that something is not fixing well. In their place, i can do it better.
Yes, they have started to supress certain and explicit information, but at the same time they stimulate this kind of fashion of TV/Streaming shows about Masonry,Secret societies (skull and bones, Rotschild, Rockefeller for example), "how evil is the capitalism" or spread in the news endless debates about George Soros, feminism agenda,etc. They promote that topics in my opinion in order to 1) discredit those who investigate these types of issues 2) hide their real identities even more 3) divert the focus of attention, away from what you are really planning to do, change the skin of the system.
A pleasure to exchange ideas with both of you!

The entire biometric apparatus, DARPA and the vast array of anti-insurgency programs, combat drone technology, etc. ALL designed to stop a potential rebellion by the public as the elites launch the NWO. I think they've spent far more time and money than you seem to realize. Why? Because they are frightened of what might happen when people fight back.
I agree though that fighting the system from the inside has always been pointless. You cannot win a rigged game by playing it, you can only win by walking away from it, or destroying the people who are rigging it.

I more so agree with the controlled, but slower, demo process. I really thought that most of the market collapse would occur with the entire 2030 initiative. However, I really do see how a slower ever declining market for the near term is very likely.
I still believe that we have a good 10 years before their claws have more firmly been planted in a mechanized technocracy - and then they really blow it up and roll it out.
5g roll out, Boston Scientific robots (who really believes that we'll be left with human police - they can be rational and have families as well - robocop is coming), advanced and weaponized drones, forced medical procedures (inoculations), etc. This is the obvious ploy to control the left over masses (shove everyone in big cities, facial recognition, social "scores", permanent economic (albeit a pittance) and medical welfare for all, you all get the picture.
The China belt-n-road plan still has a ways to go.
The computer processors still need time to get faster (the AI they plan on needs to be able to really and truly make sense of all of the meta-data collection they are doing).
However, the abject theft of all US technology and transference of this technology via theft or exportation is largely underway and successfully handed over to our middle-east "allies".
It just seems that they need more time and more intellectual talent to pull off higher end technology end-game before they can really deindustrialize the masses and cut us off at the knees.
The Iranian situation is all contrived as well. The Iranians are in total cahoots with the overlords. They will become the leaders of all the "Stans" Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, etc. They have their place at the big boy table - they just need to play the part of the wild and crazy buffoons threatening to launch epic and consummate wars against their middle-east "enemies". They are the next big bogey man that just will not get shaken. Your remaining tax dollars must go to defend ourselves and our "allies" against this crazy threat!
I'm not disagreeing much at all with Brandons analysis - I'm just super confused with the timing (economic collapse). I think/thought we have 10 years to either defeat the enemy or hunker down.
I think that until we see the US influence severely diminished (i.e. a collapse of NATO), and the pull back (or defeat) of US military from all over the world, I think the big economic collapse will not take place.
There just seems to be a silent, but strong, minority of patriots within the US govmt that just is not allowing (and even pushing back against the overlords) for the true collapse of the system.
As weird as it may seem - cheering on for the collapse of US military strength around the world is the worst thing that can happen for everyone. Once our military is degraded and pushed back- the belt and road will be complete, US influence will be impotent, and the collapse may then begin.
Until then however - I just don't see the drain being opened on our financial system and the true collapse occurring.
Thanks as always for your insights Brandon.

Good Morning Brandon,
How to reconcile China and Russia being tied in with the global financial elites, while these countries appear to be independently buying gold by the tonne? Thanks.
written by Brandon Smith , June 01, 2019
@Not Yet
The timeline is ten years to the globalist's "Agenda 2030", which is when they bring in their New World Order - meaning one world monetary system and one world government. They are going to need 10 years of chaos at least before doing so. The math and events say the crash is happening NOW, not in 10 years. Sorry, but you better get prepared ASAP.
written by Brandon Smith , June 01, 2019
@Ian
There's nothing to reconcile. China and Russia are meant to survive the crash, while the US and parts of Europe are meant to suffer. Countries stocking large amounts of gold have obviously been warned by the globalists what is about to happen.
written by Faust , June 02, 2019
@Tunguska
My belief in the reasoning behind the massons' promotions is hiring. They make it public so the world gets to see it and be intrigued. Certainly, there will be more willing to join, but obviously high levels will be locked unless one is willing to give a sacrifice (for example; take in the back, or other perverted crap) may go "higher up".
Possibly, they may even want it to become fashionable, where members will be snitching on others and helping to segregate the society (just like as bolsheviks did). But in no way it is a coincidence they are putting up films of it on youtube.
It is also a pleasure to exchange ideas with both of you too. Yes, playing the rigged game is pointless, but at least we are learning the rules of it.

Hi Brandon,
When the US economy collapses, presumably that makes things hard for the state as well. How will their efforts against the rebels be funded? Will this civil war essentially be funded by foreign powers? Will this really be a proxy war against the bankers and NOT really a civil war?
written by Brandon Smith , June 03, 2019
@KK
That news simply reinforces what I have been saying about the Brexit AND Trump - the globalists will allow them to succeed...to a point, and then crash the economy right on their heads and blame "populists" and conservatives for the crisis. Touche indeed...

@Dreading
The central banks create currency from thin air anywhere in the world. They can even create new currency systems from thin air. Did the Great Depression hurt their ability to function and consolidate power? Nope. It helped them in incredible ways. I hardly think it will be difficult for them to pull off the reset in terms of finance. The real danger for them is how many people decide to fight back.

Hi Brandon,
So far, I find your articles to be the closest to my point of view on what is going on. Mainly, because I do believe as well that the ultimate goal of the elite is some kind of Luciferian reality / system of control (the actual reason for them to want this might surprise you but this is not the purpose of my post).
You have speculated a couple of times about the new currency architecture and the future monetary system (blockchain etc.). However, the role of the gold is still not that clear, or at least not so satisfactory explained.
What do you think of the recent 'In Gold We Trust Report 2019', and specifically this very interesting section in it?
20 Years later a Freegold Project
https://ingoldwetrust.report/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/IGWT_2019_SPECIAL_Freegold_EN.pdf
Very interesting neo-classical view on gold as wealth but not as money. Based on the 'revelations' of an insider named himself Another during the early days of internet forums (late 90s) about current financial paradigm and the role of gold. Their statements and predictions still applicable even 20 years later.
Here is this quote that might get your attention, it is about what kind of world order to expect:
“Old world, gold economy, as viewed thru modern eyes’ or ‘way to move from US-Dollar without war’."
Basically, their theory and predictions about the financial system are quite in alignment with yours, in my opinion.

Consider watching the full Gotthard Tunnel opening ceremony on youtube. I suspect it represents the prophesy of their religion. In the style of secret religions, the various acts associated with the ceremony are out of chronological order - a way to add confusion except to those who "know". Actions based upon religious beliefs are not required to be logical, so do not expect that.
