One of the most favored propaganda tactics of establishment elites and the useful idiots they employ in Marxist and cultural-Marxist circles is to relabel or redefine an opponent before they can solidly define themselves. In other words, elites and Marxists will seek to “brand” you (just as corporations use branding) in the minds of the masses so that they can take away your ability to define yourself as anything else.
Think of it this way: Say you want to launch an organization called “Movement Blue,” and you and others have gone through great struggle to grow this organization from the ground up. However, just as your movement is about to achieve widespread recognition, someone else comes along, someone with extensive capital and media influence, and they saturate every outlet with the narrative that your movement is actually more like “Movement Red,” and that Movement Red is a terrible, no-good, bad idea. They do such a good job, in fact, that millions and millions of people start calling you “Movement Red” without even knowing why, and they begin to believe all the negative associations that this label entails.
Through the art of negative branding, your enemy has stolen your most precious asset — the ability to present yourself to the public as you really are.
Negative branding is a form of psychological inoculation. It is designed to close people’s minds to particular ideas before they actually hear those ideas presented by a true proponent of the ideas. But beyond that, negative branding can also be used to trick groups and movements into abandoning their original identity.
For example, the concept of economic freedom for individuals –the freedom from overt government interference or government favoritism for certain people over others, the freedom to compete with ideas and ingenuity to build a better business and a better product, the freedom to retain the fruits of one’s labor — used to be widely referred to as “free markets”, as defined by Adam Smith. The very basis of free market philosophy was to remove obstruction and economic oppression from the common man in order to inspire a renaissance in innovation and prosperity. The problem is, you rarely hear anyone but libertarians talk about traditional "free markets" anymore.
Though Karl Marx did not coin the term “capitalism,” he and his followers (and editors) are indeed guilty of the pejorative version now used. It has always been Marxist propagandists who have sought to redefine the idea of “free markets” in a negative way, and the use of the term capitalism is how they did it. They have been so effective in their efforts that today even some free market proponents instead refer to themselves as “capitalists.”
While “free markets” denote freedom of the common man to pursue a better life through productivity and intelligence and merit, “capitalism” denotes a monstrous and blind pursuit of wealth and power without moral regard. One gives the impression of fairness, the other gives the impression of tyranny.
Is there even such an animal as “capitalism?” I can’t really say. What I do know is that the system we have today, a hybrid mutation of corporatism and socialism, is certainly NOT a free market system if we are to follow the true definition and the original intent. Yet, whenever cultural and economic Marxists attack the notion of economic freedom, they use the system we have now as an example of the failures of “free market capitalism.”
This is the magic of negative branding, and it is used in every facet of social life and geopolitics.
Now, before I get into the term “populist,” I recognize that people opposed to my position will immediately spring into a tirade about how liberty and sovereignty champions brand those against our ideals “in the exact same way.” This is not quite true, though.
When we refer to “globalists” in a negative manner, we are taking a pre-existing label, something that they often call themselves, and pointing out that their philosophy is flawed and highly destructive based on historical evidence and verifiable facts. We are not seeking to redefine them as anything other than what they already are. We are merely exposing to the public what they OPENLY promote and believe and then offer our side and our evidence as to why their beliefs are wrong.
This is not what they do to us. Instead, globalists and their cronies prefer that the public does not get to hear our views directly from us. They rarely, if ever, actually use our publications as a source for their attacks on our principles. They would much rather tell the public what we are and what we believe before they are ever exposed to us. This is why you will often find that many participants in protest groups at events held by anti-globalists like Ben Shapiro or Milo Yiannopoulos have never actually seen or heard a single speech by the men in question. They have no idea what we really stand for. In fact, they protest our speakers, groups and movements based on what they were told we stand for by other biased sources.
This brings us to “populism.”
There has been a deep and concerted propaganda campaign taking place against liberty activists, sovereignty champions, anti-globalists, anti-SJW groups, and conservatives in general. I noticed this particular campaign accelerating at the beginning of 2016, and it was the primary reason why I chose to take a hard stance on my predictions for Brexit passage and a Trump election win. The propaganda narrative could be summarized as follows:
Since early 2016 (according to globalists and the mainstream publications featuring their opinions), there has been a rising tide of nationalists and “populists” in western nations. This sudden surge in “populism” is inexorably tied to the Brexit movement and the support for candidates like Donald Trump. Populism will overrun the existing “stability” of globalism and cause severe economic crisis in numerous countries. It finds its roots in the “less educated” portions of the population, as well as in older generations that think they have something to lose if globalism succeeds. It is also driven by an “irrational fear” of economic change, global interdependence and multiculturalism. Populists are predominantly naive and desperate for “strongmen” leaders to fight for them. Some of them are motivated by self interest, while others are motivated by racism.
You can see these sentiments expressed bluntly in numerous mainstream media outlets. The Guardian has no qualms about linking the Brexit to “racism” and populism, for example. The Washington Post also has had no problem linking the Tea Party and Trump supporters to racism and populism as well.
Beyond the paper-thin accusations of racism, the general thrust of the negative branding is clear; if you are against globalism (or elitism) and its major tenets, then you are a “populist.” This is reiterated in recent articles from Bloomberg and The Guardian.
But in such publications, the most egregious argument is the one that is not directly made. The insinuation is that “populism” is not just defined by a fear of corruption through organized elitism, but that this fear is UNFOUNDED. Meaning, anyone who argues against the mechanizations of globalists, for instance, is not only redefined as a “populist,” but he/she is also, essentially, ignorant or insane. See how that works?
The populist label is often used to describe a political movement built on the cult of personality, a sycophantic love affair with a celebrity dictator that tends to have ulterior motives. Thus, the philosophical underpinnings of that particular movement are further eroded because they don’t even know why they are doing what they are doing; they are only playing a foolish game of follow the leader.
So, to recap, according to the establishment and their “press,” conservatives and sovereignty activists are actually “populists.” Our concerns over uncontrolled immigration and open borders are not based on rationalism and historic evidence of social and economic instability as well as the highly evidenced threats of terrorism; they are based on “xenophobia.”
Our concerns over the increasing fiscal weakness generated by the economic interdependence of globalism and our lack of self reliance are not based on math and logic, but our “lack of understanding” on how interdependence makes everything better.
Our concerns over rampant organized elitism and the corruption this entails are not based on numerous concrete examples, not to mention exposed documentation and the words of elitists themselves; they are based on a “fantasy world” of “tinfoil hatters” who just make stuff up while consuming heaping helpings of "fake news".
If this is the case, then I suppose I should fasten my own tinfoil hat tightly and note that this narrative is part of an ongoing long-game by globalists. They are not attempting to achieve the demonization of conservatives and sovereignty advocates today or tomorrow. This is about preparing the public for a near future, perhaps five to 10 years from now, after they have sufficiently sabotaged the global economy and scapegoated us for the crisis this will cause.
Not possible, you say? By all means, read my article 'The False Economic Recovery Narrative Will Die In 2017' for further explanation. If we are not careful, we will be redefined not just by establishment propaganda, but by a global calamity that will be gift wrapped with our name on it and tied around our collective necks.
In the meantime, how do we fight back against this disinformation campaign?
One factor that a “populist movement” generally does not have is the ability to remain self-critical. Populism, at least according to the mainstream media, requires a mentality of mass blind faith in a cause that is misunderstood or a leader that is dishonest. The liberty movement and conservative groups still have some members who are not afraid to point out when we are going astray in our logic or our actions.
We have not been silenced by our own peers, yet. Given enough crisis, it is hard to say how people will react. A major terrorist attack, an economic panic, a war; these kinds of rip-tides can inspire a lot of intolerance for contrary views. We are not there at this point, and as long as members of our movement are able to retain a critical eye, we will never be “populists.”
Another method is to refrain from adopting the “branding” that the establishment tries to use against us. Beware of anyone within our groups and organizations who begins referring to himself or us as “populists” as if this is a label of which we should be proud.
In the long run, people with ill intent will call us whatever they want to call us. The real issue is, will those labels stick? Will we help them to stick by losing our composure and acting the way the propagandists always said we would?
Negative branding is about burning a hole in the historical record, because memes last far longer than people. In 100 years, how will we be remembered? This is what the globalists value most — future impressions of today by generations not yet born. Because wars are not just fought in one moment over one piece of ground or over one idea; they are fought in ALL moments, for days not yet passed, for the posterity of all ideas, even those not yet thought of. If we do not fight back with this in mind, winning will be impossible.

Negative (and/or false positive) branding is so true in our day to day now. When you see Judaism or Christianity portrayed in the media, it is almost wholly as a "political" movement, designed to take over society and dictate our every move, whereas Islam is portrayed exactly the opposite, almost solely as a "religion," devoid of any designs to remake society in its own image. How else can I explain the reaction of a female work colleague when I confronted her with the documented reports of gang rapes in Europe by Muslim thugs ... she looked at me and actually stated, "But they have nothing else to do (in those camps)?"
It is not surprising that a growing amount of LGBT individuals on the Internet are turning conservative, influenced by Milo, etc., because they are finally realizing that Sharia law IS A POLITICAL SYSTEM, and that out-of-the-closet gays are not tolerated at any level. They will be herded up and executed, just as so many in Islamic society aren't simply jailed, but put to death, and put to death quickly, with little or no due process.
Nevertheless, the media is very quick to tell us that Jews and Christians MUST BE our chief concern. That Israel is the most repressive, dictatorial regime ... when what (??) ... most every Islamic country surrounding Israel is nirvana or Shangri-La?? All the same Islamic countries who are accepting no fellow Muslim refugees whatsoever, whereas Israel accepts any Jew from anywhere, regardless.
Moreover, no one cares to read the "fine print" anymore. We are so trained now to click on "agree" on the Internet, scrolling past all the legalese without giving it the faintest thought that it could be anything less than benevolent. Then something happens to our PC (or worse), and sure enough, we find out after the fact what "permissions" we allowed seemingly unaware.
Yes, if the globalists succeed in their "mind control" (or better to say, mind reorientation), they need not worry about dependency. People will be voluntarily dependent, and not believe it to be malevolent in any way.

Excellent again! Being a critical thinker means being a good listener. We must analyze the information we are ingesting and phrases, which goes to branding used to make an impression. Here is an example. Some may agree, some may want to have a knee jerk reaction, but think first. Have you already been conditioned?
The Arab world refers to the west bank as occupied Palestine. Israel would argue that it is merely Israel.
This is classic branding. We should react when we hear or read any branding, political correctness, etc. We should reject this type of language and challenge the false premise.
That as Brandon says, goes for

I'm curious about your thoughts on U.S. foreign governmental/corporate policy and interventionism from say the end of WW2 and its possible implications of the state we are in today. I feel this is extremely relevant regarding the state of current affairs and feel that most Americans do not the know the historical extent of U.S. meddling in foreign countries and how it has created animosity towards the populations of the U.S. and its allies. If you could find time for this I think it may help readers understand maybe why we are here in the first place, at least pertaining to our deflated ethical standings in the world.

Another good, and necessary, article.
Something to keep in mind is that the elites always try to infiltrate and subvert any opposition movement that they can't derail by other means. That includes performing false-flag attacks that implicate the leaders of such movements, so that the masses will emotionally associate them for what happened even before any investigation has begun.
Once a massive event becomes emotionally associated with a movement, it is VERY hard to get people to reconsider, even when the evidence would prove otherwise. I imagine that the Oathkeepers are very much aware of this, especially given what happened at Malheur and the near association of that suicidal couple that killed a couple cops in Nevada after Bundy Ranch. Vigilance must never be relaxed.
BTW, in your last article you mentioned that you expect a false flag attack soon. I submit that Oroville dam is such an attack, and that dam was purposefully built to fail. Think of what would happen were it break: the potential loss of tens of thousands of homes, resulting in a large 'migrant' population; the loss of agricultural assets, including land and water; and the loss of potentially millions of jobs. There would be an exodus out of the state that would be staggeringly large...as required by the dictates of Agenda 21/2030. And the timing of this event is very suspect. W
hat better way to bring down the economy, than during a national disaster of epic proportions?

""President Donald J. Trump has again shown his commitment to draining the swamp. On 10 February, virgin CIA Director Mike Pompeo was dispatched to Riyadh, Saudi, to launch an orgy of lies, cementing the new administration’s relationship with the world’s leading sponsor of terror.
In an affront to all things decent, and ignoring the official 9/11 terror attack, Pompeo presented inbred Saud ‘Prince’ Mohammad bin Nayef with the George Tenet Demonic Medal for ‘counter-terrorism [sic] efforts.’ Nayef blushed that “our relationship with the United States is historic and strategic, any attempts to undermine that will falter.” Jeddah-based Arab News absurdly claimed “He also recognized the efforts of brave Saudi men and women of different security agencies and the cooperation of the Saudi public in addressing the terror epidemic.”..........

If these globalists are as evil as you seem to think, and I certainly agree with you, then they're only going to understand it if we bring more terror to them than they bring to us.

The greatest fallacy in the world is that you have to become a monster to beat a monster. I really don't know what you mean by going "Hiroshima" on the globalists. If you mean going after them directly, then I'm all for that. However, if you mean using totalitarian government to crush liberals, or if you mean harming innocents that happen to be attached to the globalists, or, if you mean that there is an acceptable level of "collateral damage", then I would have to say no. That is EXACTLY what the elites want us to do - to abandon our moral compass.
Anyone who goes that route will become my enemy as well.

Hi Brandon. I've been reading as many of your articles as I can (more to go still) and they make perfect sense.
I agree with you that the powers-that-shouldn't-be are going crash the financial system (quite deliberately) while creating distractions like war and terrorist attacks. And when the American economy is sacrificed and the dollar loses its value, the IMF and BIS will appear like saintly first responders and "help" us all with a new currency, a precursor for (intended) total control.
In that sense what we are seeing today is a war for control of the control of the financial system.
Quick question for you: how are the central bankers planning on getting away with this?
Won't it be incredibly hard for them to exempt themselves from blame when the financial system collapses?
I see it as the duty of every man woman and child who understands this to explain to as many fellow people as we can BEFORE the crash that it is inevitable and that it is years of loose monetary policy and wasted military spending that is to blame, not some solitary hate figure in the White House.
You are obviously doing a fine job in this regard and I hope you keep writing.
I look at the T-Bond futures climbing today and it makes me laugh. Everyone knows the gold price is manipulated but that T-Bond has to be as well. All major foreign holders are selling and only the clinically insane would lend to the US government for 30 years at 3%.

The importation of unvetted Muslim refugees is designed to piss off conservatives and herd us towards support for police state action, just as the insane behavior of the left is meant to do.

Brandon,
I am always watching the 'propaganda indexes' of the Dow and S&P 500. They are a tool used by the central banks to manipulate the sentiment of the masses. It is important to study "how" and "when" they use this particular 'mind control' tool. [for the record, i have disagreed with your previous assertions that only short sighted individuals track these indexes. It all depends on "why" you are studying these indexes.]
what i am seeing is that we are sitting on top the biggest equity bubble in equity market history in terms of valuation. the market has NEVER been so overvalued. The ONLY outcome to this scenario is a "POP" and "CRASH". there is no alternative - [for example, by incrementally dropping prices.] The membrane of the markets have been purposefully stretched to the point of breaking so that a Crash is the only outcome.
So it seems that by using the "CRASH" playbook, their 'game plan' is for generating mass 'panic'. So i am assessing - does this 'technique' of generating 'panic' dovetail into your analysis [ especially your 'high octane' speculation on a 'terrorist' attack in the next 3 months]? ......ABSOLUTELY!
The two compliment each other, as they magnify the 'panic' factor, and thereby it magnifies Trump's potential heavy-handed 'populist' response.
Your time frame for the 'attack' is uncanny - because there is no more sustainable room for pushing the markets upward - regardless of what CNBC propaganda news is reporting.

I think it is much more insidious than that considering what is going on behind the scenes at the State Department, the Global Counter Terrorism Forum, the CFR, the Washington Institute and the like over "the reintegration and rehabilitation of foreign extremist fighters"
They have already implemented this plan in Aarhus Denmark and Lund Sweden and the plan is in effect for 29 other countries including our own. They are not interested in vetting or jihad or terrorism on home soil, they seem more interested in actually recruiting militarily trained, depraved, Islamist ex Isis fighters to actually return to Europe the US and Canada seeing as these plans include economic incentives that actually encourage both their return and their joining Isis in the first place.
This is all quite sinister.

I believe the predicted terrorist attack(s) will be the catalyst for this crash that has been almost 9 years in the making. And then Trump’s policies will be blamed, not for the crash itself, but for the lack of economic recovery as his attempts to steer the economy against the howling gale blowing from the central banks and their globalist masters will prove futile. I will even go so far as to speculate on a date sometime after the end of the March quarter (even though March seems to be a notoriously bad month for stuff happening... Ides, 22/3)... 20th April is currently my top pick for some esoteric reasons which I am happy to explain for anyone interested.

written by NH Watcher , February 19, 2017
I imagine it will be a series of attacks, over a course of a few weeks, which will bring about calls for "security" over "freedom." I just can't envision another 9-11 happening (isolated to only two cities, with minimal casualties ... if you categorize a few thousand as minimal, and I suspect the globalists do). It may not even involve Islam again either, but be economic and/or physical terror regardless of religion.
One thing is true: the globalists have definitely found their narcissist in Trump, similar to Obama. The best narcissist is one who not only adores themselves, but others adore them too. No matter what they tried, the globalists could not find that in Hillary, which is largely why they had to abandon her.
Trump's response to a series of attacks will be far more believable and permeating. The big, strong, cowboy response which even Laura Bush chided her husband on shortly after 9-11. But the attacks will have to involve the whole country, if not the world; otherwise, it is simply a one week news story which comes and goes.
The Internet and even more so social media have dulled our brains so much that we now largely have a citizenry who demands an immediate response to most everything. I find myself checking my phone multiple times a day for any new emails or alerts, and have to stop myself: what the hell am I doing? Why, truly why, is this critical? Because society (and globalism) has trained us to be this way. Brandon's earlier articles on stepping back from this type of behavior remain important.
Government is a swamp, and that is exactly what the globalists want. A swamp which resists change when such is needed, and a swamp which enacts change rapidly (making resistance almost futile) when such is needed. A swamp is not a clear and calm ocean or lake; a swamp is dark, harder to navigate, where you are uncertain (and fearful) about where it may lead.
If you take all the statistics which continually show that a majority of emergency rooms visits in a given hospital are not truly emergencies, then you also have the basis for society's likely response to another series of attacks. We need to resist the label of an "emergency" on anything which happens when we do not have all the facts right away. Technology in society (fifteen years after the first 9-11) will actually make assuming control of any "emergency" much easier than before.
I suspect late March/early or late April is a ripe time as well.

I totally understand the "who's who" of this political arena today. And they "why's and wherefore's" of it all. However, may I be so bold as to give you a piece of wisdom that you may feel free to consider, or leave behind - - -
In all cultures there is good and there is evil...yes, even in the white folks. And even in any religion. That's the battle today - it's not about the battle between people and cultures - it's the struggle, the battle between good and evil in this life. As it has been for centuries.
If one only delineates people by the color of their skin, their culture, their beliefs, one is missing out on the great richness of this life.
Whoever the political "powerz that be" worship, follow, obey - and I know just who that is, and I know without a single doubt, they WILL be held accountable one day and get exactly what they deserve. As will all of us.
It matters not, to me, the color of one's skin or their belief system. It's what is in their heart that counts. I can guarantee you without a shadow of a doubt that if you continue is such bitterness, hate and unforgiveness, you will be the one who suffers. I see and observe people today pretty closely - cancer is rampant among those who worry, hate, and have great anger. Health suffers when our hearts are bitter.
These you mention will go on about their business. They don't give a whit about you. They don't think about you, BUT they will use you if you play their game. They will bait you and they will, in the end, allow you to be killed with out a single thought of who you are or what you believe. They are evil. Why play their game? Why play into their hands, their schemes, and their evil?
You DO have a choice. There are many more good people of all faith's, color, beliefs, and cultures. It's about what and who you choose to align yourself with. It's your choice.

White Boy is either a troll from the SPLC trying to sully the comments section, or yet another moron from Stormfront that thinks "all the jews" are to blame. The elites don't believe in Judaism, guy - they are Luciferians.

That was my guess too...took me a little while but came up with the same conclusion.

But the elites also support zionism... How do you reconcile this?... or that free masonry (which one could argue is another branch of the Luciferian Illuminati) is rooted in the jewish occultic cabala... or why Israel has so much control over U.S. foreign policy... or that the history of banking (especially central banking) is dominated by jewish families like the Warburgs, Schiffs, Oppenheimers and especially the Rothschilds...

Zionism is an extremist political faction that is used and exploited by the elites - this does not mean that the elites are practicing Jews. They also exploit extremist factions of Islam; that doesn't mean they are Islamists. Your logic is highly flawed.
Free Masonry also claims to be a "Christian" organization and they use "God" and "the Lord" and "Christ" in some of their rhetoric and practices. Does this mean they are Christian? Does playing around with the Cabala make a person or a group automatically Jewish? Again, silly and flawed logic.
As far as some prominent banking families being Jewish - they are perhaps by descent, but that does not mean they are practicing Jews, or that all or even most Jews are somehow culpable for the actions of an extremely small minority. Beyond that, certain Jewish families have historically always been the tax collectors and money handlers for Royal families - the REAL elitist bloodlines, and those people were NOT Jewish in the slightest. You are hyperfocused on one aspect of one small group within a larger cabal.
I'll repeat the fact again for you - most of the elites are not practicing Jews, they commonly espouse either atheism, luciferianism or some version of Earth and nature worship. To make a broad brushed accusation that the Jews are the root of the problem is idiotic to say the least, not to mention completely unbacked by evidence.
This site will not be a dumping ground for stormfront garbage. Bring facts, or go home. Generalizations are a waste of my time.

@Brandon
Thank you for your courteous and heart felt response. I DO understand why you might have to take the strong position that you do!
You are correct in that the elites are not "practising" jews and many elites are not jewish at all. I am suggesting that due to a disproportionate number of them being in many positions of power throughout politics, banking & finance, information technology, the mainstream media (including Hollywood) and much of the rest of the corporate world, this particular group have become knowingly complicit enablers. These are the “zionist jews”, supported by as you rightly suggest, certain factions of "Christianity" (and even "Islam" but not the support of all jews interestingly!). They have a history of looking after themselves and their own. This IS the history of both their survival and damnation.
So please tell me - Cui Bono? Who is benefitting from the current wars in the middle east? The Yinon plan and the Project for a New American Century (I am sure you have read them both) are a match made in zionist hell.
Who do you think did 911?
Who do you think was behind the communist takeover of Russia? This year is their 100th anniversary.

I'm not interested in delving into a long discussion on hypotheticals in the comments section. But I can say that the Zionists are not at the top of the globalist pyramid. People really need to look at the bigger picture. They are useful tools, and that is all. Also, the communist takeover in Russia was funded by Western corporate interests, most of them NOT run by Jews or Zionists. The banking elites are LUCIFERIAN. Period. They are perfectly willing to sacrifice Israel or millions of Jews to get what they want.

I think the leak issue is designed to galvanize the left, make them think they are "winning", and to embolden them to more violence once they realize Trump isn't going away. I suspect that once summer rolls around and the weather is warmer there will be FAR more riots and civil disruption.
At bottom, there has been constant barrage of rhetoric and propaganda aimed at the left since the election. The dial has been turned up to 11 and it has not let up even for a moment. My fear is that conservatives will react to leftist insanity (and to internal leaks) by supporting police state measures and that this is exactly what the elites want.

This is the seat of the pagan, satanic forces running the show in high places today and the reason for their demonic evil -
Revelation 2:9
I know your works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but you are rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary-
"Even where Satan's seat is - A place of special wickedness, as if Satan dwelt there. Satan is, as it were, enthroned there. Satan's seat—rather as the Greek is translated all through Revelation, "throne." Satan, in impious mimicry of God's heavenly throne, sets up his earthly throne (Re 4:2). Æsculapius was worshipped there under the serpent form; and Satan, the old serpent, as the instigator (compare Re 2:10) of fanatical devotees of Æsculapius "
When one looks through the lens of the Spiritual realm, its different from the natural. One clearly sees the forces of evil at the helm over the kingdoms of today's. world. Lawlessness is rampant worldwide led by these evil puppetmasters.
written by turtlefeet , February 20, 2017
To whom do you think the Book of Revelation is referring in chapter 3 verse 9 as “ …the synagogue of Satan, WHICH SAY THEY ARE JEWS, and are not, but do lie…” if not to the spreading illegal zionist occupation of Pallestine & Syria by the Khazarian mafia criminal cabal(ists!) and their international brethren?
The zionists are Luciferian… as are the free masons, the Illuminati, the jesuits, the wahabists and most of the corporate elite who worship money as their god. This includes the banksters, the Bilderbergers and their puppet globalist political organisations like the CFR, the Trilateral Commision, NATO, WTO, WHO… etc... Clearly it is MUCH bigger than just zionism but don’t pretend for a moment that they are not a part of it. I will argue an integral part but am happy to debate this detail.
I very much appreciate the insightful ideas Brandon shares with us all on this website (I would not spend as much time here as I do if this were not the case) but believe resistance will be futile unless everyone who opposes them can agree on who the enemy is.

@turtlefeet
No one here is defending Zionism. The point is that you are hyperfocused on one small group that is only a part of the larger problem. I really don't see the point of this discussion. The Zionists are an afterthought. I see no reason to harp on about it, especially since it has nothing to do with the article. I think I am going to close the issue here and now.

Just thought you might find these 2 articles and videos interesting.
Soros, if he is not already dead, and his pictures to a deceived public keeping him "alive" looks like he is very sick and BITTER. Or has now at his age has a very guilty conscience and "tries to be moral". A picture is worth a thousand words - liver problems (by the dark liver spots on his face), eye issues, very bad health. "Wag the Dog" could easily be played here. Certainly not a happy man.

"Soros, in his own words, explains why he thinks the US, must “die,” see second video below."
Excellent videos.

@Brandon what makes you think the elite are Luciferian? That's a very specific piece of information to which I assume you have come to through specific facts/observation. What are those facts/observations?

from what i'm learning the jesuits are at the core of the evil in the world, with many other organizations beneath them. the zionist yids included but the jesuits are at the top (or the bottom depending how you look at it) with the royals a close second.
they have been operating behind the scenes for hundreds of years in the vatican

a question for Brandon.
if this false flag happens, what type of false flag do you expect?
an emp maybe? this would be a very efficient way of culling the population but leaving the infrastructure more or less intact. wouldnt take that long for the dieoff to happen either. maybe a year or so.
a small nuke or series of small nukes across the country?
or just regular explosions at shopping malls, etc.
after that, cities will be locked down and road blocks setup very quickly i imagine

I have been contemplating the nuclear issue myself. I think that nuclear might cause serious issues for anyone going in to harvest resources after after the war is over. We have around 125 reactors that are supposedly going to have problems without electricity due to emp. (I cannot figure out why build perpetual energy source dependant on outside energy). There are supposed to be backup generators with two weeks of fuel. Trucks have to run for resupply. I do not think it will be practical to limit slave labor longevity down to extreme exposure status, or working in fallout gear.
Once again, great article and comments.
I find in my study the RC church, and has been up to no good for a long time. The Jesuits got on for a while with the RC. Then there was a falling out supposedly until recent. pope Francis is up to all kinds of no good, and he is the very first Jesuit for popehood. If taking care of sheep was this churches mission, how can they be so rich. I am still searching for the main puppet master myself. Swords sharp, powder dry!!

I suggest you do some research into Bohemian Grove, as well as "Theosophy".
“Lucifer, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable, blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish souls? Doubt it not!”
