Numerous cultures have had holidays dedicated to the celebration of pulling the wool over the eyes of others, from the ancient Romans, to early Muslims, to medieval Christians, to Americans and Europeans today. As April begins, we once again turn a mischievous eye to the concept of the fool and, as always, each person seeks to be the prankster and never the victim.
Unfortunately, even the most vigilant of Americans can sometimes be led astray by a clever ruse, and I believe this is taking place today in the Liberty Movement’s perception of the rising “tensions” between Russia and the West.
In my article Ukraine Crisis: Just Another Globalist-Engineered Powder Keg, I outlined the history of false paradigms and engineered conflicts between numerous nations, including how these conflicts are exploited by global money interests to consolidate and centralize social and political power. The birth of communist Russia, in particular, was directly funded by Western banks and supported with arms and military aid from the U.S. government itself. These sorts of startling facts are not taught in schools and universities exactly because the continued dominance of the money elite relies on continued misrepresentations of legitimate history.
Many in the Liberty Movement have studied and are well aware of the central banking cabal and its stranglehold on the U.S. and Europe. But strangely, some people refuse to acknowledge the substantial possibility that global bankers are also in control of Russia and are playing both sides of the burgeoning economic war.
As the Ukrainian crisis festers and other dangers in the Pacific and the Mideast grow, an odd consensus among alternative analysts is taking hold — namely the belief that President Vladimir Putin and Russia represent some kind of opposition to globalization and the rule of corporate financiers. Perhaps moments in Putin’s rhetoric and the existence of media outlets like RT have seduced elements of the Liberty Movement into assuming that Russia is a “victim” in the grand schemes of Western oligarchy and that Russia is truly the "white knight", the underdog willing to stand up against the New World Order. I’m sorry to say that nothing could be further from the truth.
Russia is just as much a tool of the global elite today as it was after the Bolshevik Revolution, and Vladimir Putin is just as much a socialist puppet as Barack Obama. Let’s start from the beginning of the rebirth of Russia as a regional federation in the 1990s after the fall of the Warsaw Pact.
Mikhail Gorbachev, the leader largely credited with the ultimate dismantling of the Soviet Union and the rise of the “new” Russia, has long been a proponent of the “New World Order” (his words) and centralized global government. In an address entitled “Perspectives On Global Change” to the students of Lafayette College in Easton, Penn., Gorbachev argued that such a solution was necessary to safeguard “freedom.”
“The opportunities that existed after the end of the Cold War… were not used properly. At that same time, we saw that the entire world situation did not develop positively. We saw deterioration where there should have been positive movement toward a new world order.”
He continued:
“But we still are facing the problem of building such a world order. We have crises: we are facing problems of the environment, of backwardness and poverty, of food shortages. All of these problems are because we do not have a system of global governance.”
When asked in 1995 by San Francisco Weekly what Gorbachev meant by the phrase “New World Order,” Jim Garrison, the executive director of the Gorbachev Foundation stated, bluntly that Gorbachev wanted nothing less than global government.
"Over the next 20 to 30 years, we are going to end up with world government. … It’s inevitable. It will happen and become just as normal to have a relationship with the rest of the world as we now have, say, if you are a Californian and you go to Vermont."
Take note that it has now been almost 20 years since Garrison's assertion and the motions towards a global currency are picking up great speed. Gorbachev saw global government being achieved through international organizations like the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. But, is this vision of the New World Order limited only to Gorbachev and his inner circle? At the Gorbachev-led State of the World Forum in 1995, Council On Foreign Relations member Zbigniew Brzezinski had this to say:
“We do not have a New World Order. … We cannot leap into world government in one quick step. … In brief, the precondition for eventual globalization — genuine globalization — is progressive regionalization, because thereby we move toward larger, more stable, more cooperative units.”
In Zbigniew K. Brzezinski’s book Between Two Ages: America’s Role In The Technetronic Era, he elaborates on the ideology behind what brand of government the New World Order would be:
"The nation-state is gradually yielding its sovereignty… More intensive efforts to shape a new world monetary structure will have to be undertaken."
"National sovereignty is no longer a viable concept… Marxism represents a further vital and creative state in the maturing of man’s universal vision. Marxism is simultaneously a victory of the external, active man over the inner, passive man and a victory of reason over belief…"
Brzezinski seems to be in total agreement with Gorbachev, but why should anyone care what Brzezinski thinks about the future of American sovereignty? Perhaps it’s because he is a close and influential foreign policy adviser to Obama.
So we have now established that political interests on both sides since the 1990s have called for a New World Order and global government taking a decidedly socialist or Marxist form. Some people might applaud this kind of future, or they might despise it; but the fact remains that this plan is indeed being openly promoted and implemented by government officials and elitists in the East and the West. It is undeniable.
From its very inception, the new Russia was designed to become a catalyst for global governance, but global governance by whom? As they say, always follow the money.
Russia is more beholden to international bankers than perhaps any nation on the planet. After the collapse of the Russian economy and the dissolution of the old Soviet Union, the country was in dire straits. From 1992 to 1996, the IMF intervened in the Russian economy, offering more than $22 billion in aid (officially). This first loan package was presented as a failure when Russia defaulted on its debts, and loans from the IMF restarted through the late ’90s until this very day.
Many people are aware of the IMF involvement in Russia, but few know about the scandal surrounding where those IMF funds specifically went. In 1999, information was made public on the diversion of IMF cash into the coffers of Russian corporate elites, politicians, and even mobsters. This money was supposed to go toward the rebuilding of Russian infrastructure and economy. Instead, the aristocracy and criminal underworld were receiving a large cut of the funds.
The money was diverted and laundered through the Bank of New York, an institution founded in 1784 by none other than internationalist agent and central bank promoter Alexander Hamilton. The bank changed ownership through merger in 2007 and is now called The Bank Of New York Mellon.
The IMF’s first response to the scandal was to divert blame, stating that it had no control over the cash once it was in the hands of the Central Bank of Russia (CBR). After continued revelations on funds being misused or disappearing altogether, the IMF commissioned PricewaterhouseCoopers to audit the CBR. The results of that audit have never been made public. However, in 1999 the Russian government admitted that it had hidden more than $50 billion offshore in a subsidiary bank in the Channel Islands. Part of this money came from IMF bailouts. The former chairman of the CBR, Sergey Dubinin, insisted that the IMF was fully aware of who the funds were going to.
Numerous officials from the chief state auditor to the minister of internal security to the prosecutor general of Russia had come forward with information that corroborated evidence that IMF money was being distributed to the wrong people. The chairman of the Duma Committee on Security stated that some of the IMF loans never made it to Russia. Rather, the money was pumped into the secret foreign accounts of Russia’s highest officials.
Despite all of the admissions and evidence, IMF auditors refused to cite any corruption or malfeasance during their investigations. One would think that they would do everything in their power to find out where their funds went and why. The reason for the cover-up is obvious: The IMF knew exactly who the money was going to. The first bailouts of Russia were designed to buy the cooperation of the Russian political and corporate elite and ensure that the future direction of the nation would follow the globalist plan.
Fast-forward to the present. Putin continues the subversive relationship between Russia and the IMF. In 2009, Putin called for the creation of a “super reserve currency” under the control of the IMF and using the IMF’s Special Drawing Rights basket as a foundation.
Why would Putin, a supposedly anti-globalist nationalist leader, want the IMF, a supposedly U.S.-controlled institution, to be the global purveyor and overlord of the world economy? It’s because the IMF is not a U.S.-controlled institution; it is a banker-controlled institution. And Putin is a globalist, not a nationalist.
The recent break of Crimea from Ukraine and secession to Russia was partly instigated by the vast concessions required by the IMF if loans to Ukraine were to move forward. One of these concessions included the handing over of Ukrainian gas pipelines to America’s Chevron. Crimean leaders accused Kiev politicians of selling out Ukraine to the global bankers.
However, it was actually Russia’s finance minister and Putin who first pushed for the IMF bailout of Ukraine. It was, in fact, Putin who wanted Ukraine to “sell out” to Western financiers.
Russia’s central bank is also a member of the Bank of International Settlements, the good-old-boys club of the international banking world. The BIS was founded in 1930 and served as the focal point of globalization until after World War II, when evidence arose that the organization had helped the Nazis by funding the German war machine, laundering money for Gestapo officials and hiding funds looted from Europe by the Third Reich.
Due to the scandal, the BIS took a back seat to the IMF and World Bank; but it still exists today. Carroll Quigley, Council on Foreign Relations member, elitist insider and mentor to Bill Clinton, had this to say about the BIS in his book Tragedy And Hope:
"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world’s central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank, in the hands of men like Montagu Norman of the Bank of England, Benjamin Strong of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, Charles Rist of the Bank of France, and Hjalmar Schacht of the Reichsbank, sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."
Putin has been elevated to heroic status in much of the mainstream media over the years. TIME magazine, a long-running globalist publication, recently published a front-page article with this tagline: “America’s weak and waffling. Russia’s rich and resurgent — and its leader doesn’t care what anybody thinks of him.”
This cover was used by TIME in every country in which it is distributed, except the United States.
The Times of Britain named Putin “Man Of The Year” in 2013. In Liberty Movement circles, Putin worship has been growing to disturbing levels. I would say at least half of our movement truly believes Putin and Russia to be a guiding light in the fight against globalization and the New World Order. Unfortunately, many people look for heroes to save them when they should be looking to themselves. Putin’s nomination for a Nobel Peace Prize for his “intervention” in the Syrian crisis is celebrated by many freedom fighters here in America, when, in reality, the Obama Administration’s failure to achieve a war footing in the region had nothing to do with the actions of Russia.
Remember, Russia and the U.S. are nothing but false champions dueling in a fake gladiator match paid for by the IMF. The war against Syria was thwarted because the elites were unable to garner enough public support from the American people to make the action viable. Every engineered war needs a gullible percentage of the population to give it momentum. Why didn’t they get their following from the public? It was because of the tireless efforts of the alternative media.
It was the Liberty Movement that exposed the lies behind the Syrian insurgency; the consulate attack in Benghazi, Libya; the CIA’s involvement with al-Qaida in Damascus, etc. It is the Liberty Movement that deserves the credit for disrupting the globalist plan to use Syria as a trigger event for a false confrontation between the U.S. and Russia. Yet many are cheering the elitist puppet Putin while he takes credit for our accomplishments.
The most frightening aspect of the false paradigm between East and West is the potential it creates for the co-option of liberty proponents here in America. If we allow ourselves to be suckered into cheerleading for Russia, or any controlled government for that matter, then we have lost. We will be swallowed up in the tides of war, while supporting false prophets and artificial protagonists. Our mission, the mission for a truly free and sovereign America, will be lost in the confusion and chaos of the global chess game. It is time to accept that the fate of this country and perhaps the future of human freedom rest solely on the shoulders of the resistance here at home. There is no nation out there in the ether of central banking that is going to help us. The sooner we come to terms with the reality that we are on our own, the stronger we will be when the fight begins.

Brandon, good article. I have been saying the same thing about Russia and the world as well. It is all Biblical, the world perceives that Russia is the good guy when they are not.
"We cannot leap into world government in one quick step. … In brief, the precondition for eventual globalization — genuine globalization — is progressive regionalization, because thereby we move toward larger, more stable, more cooperative units.”"
That is very fitting with what they have been doing.

the ukraine issue will fade to background within a month or so. everything else to gain influence over ukraine will be done back channel and furtively.

Brandon,
I agree that the real motives of Russia are far from championing freedom but,
with the decision out of the Supreme Court yesterday to further enshrine the concept that funding of political races is a constitutional right, there is certainly no hope of America (as it exists right now) being a beacon of freedom or a champion of sovereignity, independence, honor, self-determination, or the Constitution even of its own people.

Finally, someone speaking the truth. We can not so soon forget that the globalists/banksters/Zionists conquered Russia in 1917 and China in 1949 with their “People’s Revolutions.” Their purges and genocides have known no comparison in modern history, hundreds of millions have been considered fodder for these monsters. Nixon was but a cutout for Grandpa Prescott Bush and his “opening” of China was nothing more than theater. Now an editor of Bloomberg touts that communism under Putin and Xi ain’t so bad. Their images have been softened. As Russia finally de-links its currency from the American Dollar and the BRICS Nation's currency gains traction, one needs not wonder was the future holds for the U.S. people. Just look at so many “Red-Diaper Babies in positions of power in the U.S. As well, 70 members of Congress are card-carrying communists. Just recently the Obama administration was caught sending military hardware to Russia, even after this Ukraine incident. This summer the Russian military was doing joint flyovers with U.S. military over the continental U.S. China owns large portions of our debt. The veil is lifing on their diabolical plan. Sadly, as the noose tightens around America, one can see that the plan almost appears foolproof. Countless Soviet defectors have warned us for decades, but we were so fat and content. Now it appears we shall pay for our complacency. This coming war will be theater for the goy as their purges will rock the planet as they wish to create their “Worker’s Paradise. The Nationalists will be carted out one final time, to be scape-goated and pointed to, by the globalists. After all sides are exhausted, as predicted by Albert Pike, they will finally bring into view, their final solution of a one world government that will be totalitarian in nature. Their “Great Work” will have come into fruition. The once great nation of America, the “New Atlantis,” will have served its purpose and fade into the echoes of history. “Nothing new is under the sun." One doesn’t have to stretch the imagination to see what is really going on. Truth is stranger than fiction. I pray for all the innocents.

Tony F,
And the globalists/bankers/zionists conquered America in December 1913 with their most insidious tool- The Federal Reserve.
They found it unpleasant to put up their money after the Panic of 1907 and wanted someone else to perpetuate their wealth and backstop them when they fucked up.
See also Dodd-Frank for its laying the groundwork for bailing-in creditors of banks (bondholders, stockholders, and depositors- for those who have never seen what a bank balance sheet* looks like DEPOSITORS ARE CREDITORS) when the bankers fuck it up again.

It's actually not all that difficult to place Putin where he properly sits on the chessboard, which is well-described in the article. So on a quick glance we find this:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/20/world/europe/henry-kissinger-to-meet-with-vladimir-putin-in-russia.html?_r=0
Oh, "old friends," I see. Here's a friendly chat from October 29, 2013, just a breath away from today. You think Ukraine might have been discussed?
http://visualrian.ru/en/site/feature/352745/
And then all the smiley photo-ops over the years:

Kissinger is the "right" wing of the Globalist bird in the US and Brzezinski is the "left" wing. Of course, Zbig postures as rabidly anti-Russian and inThe Grand Chessboard labels Eurasia as the lynchpin of world control. And, lo, it has come to pass. And so a grand struggle for control has broken out, truly amazing. Like it was scripted! Zbig and Henry K are, of course, the best of pals.
As I have noted before, for the US it's going to be the Third World. For the rest of us, surely Quigley"s feudal serfs will be the status (after depopulation of massive numbers), but Eurasia means Europe-Asia and this will be a huge regional plank in the NWO. The US taxpayer has been fianncing this farce for decades. The money comes from thin air; it's the assets they want. So you crash all the western cutout banks and bankers--the "too big to fails"--when the time comes for that, and roll out the SDRs or whatever digital electronic global currency that is selected.
The Matrix movies are the only movies anyone really has to see (really the first one) to understand what is going on and always has. But that's another inside joke on us by the Boyz.

Thanks for a most interesting article, that goes against the grain. If bankers control Russia where is the opposition to total global banker control with their desired world government and world currency (created from nothing, of course!)? Is China also controlled by the same banking families? All central banks everywhere create their currencies from thin air, but are all of them under the control of the Western Banking families? Seemingly both Russia and China are in opposition to the West. Is this completely fake, just a 'dog and pony show' for the sheeple? Perhaps, but one thing does not add up : gold and silver. The flow of metals to the East and the pathetically obvious price management tells me that no, there is an organized, under the radar, powerful force that opposes the tyranny the world lives under. Maybe its not Russia or China. But gold and silver, ie honest money, is the only enemy of the banking class and a return to honest money anywhere in the world will destroy the entire banking empire. The fatal weakness in the bankers game is that their gold and silver price suppression scheme is guaranteed to end in a shortage somewhere and a failure to deliver on a paper contract. This dynamic, controllable only in the short term, will bring an end to fiat currencies and governments giving the exclusive right to create those currencies to a few dominant banking families. Common sense also tells us that when the world begins to lose faith in fiat currencies ie. the people start waking up, the IMF's SDR will be in no position to garner much support at all if any - its only paper, too, and not even backed by any governments. Gold and Silver will, once again, be money in our world. Bankers are creating billions and billions of currency units every month to bail themselves out and gamble in the markets, with the blessing of governments, and no one seems to think something is wrong with that. At the same time they are telling us that the real value of silver is below $20/oz.

@Alohajim
China's communist revolution was also engineered by Western interests. George Bush Sr. (Mr. NWO himself) was instrumental in establishing globalist control of the Chinese government. The Rockefeller family is heavily involved in Chinese economic development. China, like Russia, has also called for the IMF to issue a global currency through the SDR.
The SDR is partially backed by GOLD. This is why Eastern nations are stockpiling; because once the SDR makes its reserve currency debut, those countries with the most gold will garner the most value for their paper. No one out there in the geopolitical world is opposed to the NWO. The fight is between average people who believe in individual liberty and globalist government. Don't plan on any specific nation backing us up.
written by justanobserver , April 03, 2014
Alohajim,
Would American and European populations demand a return to gold and silver when they have precious little of it compared to the fierce loyalty to the precious that the Chinese, Indian, and Arabic populations have demonstrated for much longer than America has existed?
Would American and European populations gravitate to another POS piece of paper backed by their government if (even only through massive inflation) it was the only way to continue the illusion that their paper investments and paper promises of pensions and stock markets values (backed by inadequate real world assets) was able to continue?
On the less esoteric side, do you think bankers (who would gladly send the sons of men to die in some shithole place for some shithole belief system or ideology) would not incinerate billions of people to keep their nation dominating wealth (which is what their paper wealth affords to them)?

No, you are sadly misinformed. The close Russian relationship with the IMF continues today. In fact, over $3 billion of the so called bailout of Ukraine will be going to RUSSIA:

Yeah, Putin really blew off those Rothschilds....oh boy....
The globalists own Russia and Putin, which is why Putin backs the IMF on nearly every occasion. You have been conned.
As far as citing the NYT, which part, specifically, is a lie? I can easily list multiple sources national and international for every fact I present. Can you present ANY facts whatsoever that contradict the evidence included?
It's amazing to see the cognitive dissonance surrounding the false East/West paradigm in action.

Your focus on JP Morgan is highly dishonest. You should know better than to present such a narrow argument without looking at other banking institutions with a hand in globalization, including those in Europe. Also, why would Putin want the IMF, a supposedly Western controlled banking machine, to give monetary support for their enemies in Ukraine, thus making them more dangerous? Why would he want the IMF to take over Ukrainian infrastructure? Why would he want the IMF to be the controller of the world's global currency? Why would Putin want any money from the IMF whatsoever? Your logic is extremely faulty, and you clearly haven't thought your position through.

Sadly, I know that the very thing Brandon warns against, (above quoted) will continue unchecked until the second coming. Their ability to deceive, misdirect, distract, divide and conquer, will remain unmatched, until that great day.
If the Revelation of Saint John is not enough to convince you of that. Then proof that the above is true, is made plainly obvious, by their continuing ability to sell communist (globalist) moles as statesmen, terrorists as guardians of freedom, useful idiots as patriots, and self righteous merely religious tools, as Christians.

- same methods to push oligarchs & co
- same script departments and dramatic composition
- same goals
- same methods to supress the individuals
Thanks for your research and well sourced article!

Yes, PROVIDED it is no longer a US-dominated institution. Failing that, Putin and the BRICS are striking out on their own by setting up an alternative.

Sadly, you missed a primary point in the article, which is that the IMF has NEVER been a "U.S. institution", it is a globalist institution. The IMF has threatened to remove U.S. veto power if the U.S. does not vote on new payments to the organization. This is not the attitude of a governing body under the thumb of the U.S. Also, it was PUTIN who demanded that Ukraine take loans from the IMF, denominated in SDR's, not the United States. I highly suggest you pursue much more research before arguing a subject you do not understand.
written by Euro-Guest , June 21, 2014
Mr Brandon Smith, you make an interesting argument on Putin very worth discussing, but ultimately you still assume & speculate from an excessively Anglo-American perspective, not proving your case but merely lining up indicators to suit your preconception. Gorbachev is not the Putin crowd, and the various data pieces (Putin-Kissinger contact, receiving IMF funds via Ukraine etc) can all be viewed another way, that Russia continually engages the West to observe, profit, gather data etc until decisions need to be taken, plus Russia-China are winning a portion of the West to their side (e.g., German industrialists).
Ultimately there is no reason for Russia-China elites to submit themselves to the Western globalist banker cabal, tho they are quite capable of pretending that for a time to gain advantage. You mentally universalise Anglo bankster corruption to the degree you place the East in that same box. What is a worthy point you make, is that each culture should indeed try to rely on itself for resistance and not expect saviours from abroad.

Brandon,
I like your article, in fact ive read several now on this site.
Im a bit confused about the following though:
- You mention China, Russia accumulating a lot of gold as in anticipaton of a new global currency based on gold.
If those globalists are everywhere, then why do other countries not do the same, or at least more rapidly? I understand USA kinda of cant since they already 'own' a big share and that would otherwise not be logical, but say brasil, some EU countries, etc?
- And wouldnt it be a logical way of thinking to say that Russia (Putin) wants the IMF to support Ukraine so that Russia can get its outstanding loans and other money from Ukraine?
Thanks, John
