Back in December of 2016 I wrote an article titled 'Trump Is Exactly Where The Elites Want Him', which I think was very difficult for a large part of the liberty movement to read and accept. In that article I outlined the future of the Trump presidency; a future dominated by Washington insiders, Goldman Sachs internationalists and Neo-Con warmongers. Trump, at the very onset of his administration, broke one of his most important campaign promises — to “drain the swamp.” Instead, he filled his cabinet with all of the same swamp creatures he originally attacked; the same swamp creatures Hillary Clinton was notorious for serving.
I also warned in numerous articles that because of this initial broken promise, conservatives should not expect that Trump would fulfill most if any of his original plans. In the BEST CASE SCENARIO, Trump is surrounded by enemies dictating policy from every corner and corridor of the White House.
This article, of course, triggered quite a bit of wrath from hardcore Trump supporters. And, of course, time has so far proven I was right yet again.
The only argument at this point in defense of Trump is that it is still very early in his first year and that no president should be expected to accomplish much in just a few months. Okay, I’ll entertain that notion, but let’s be realistic here and look at the current circumstances.
As I write this, Congress is on the brink of forging a spending bill which essentially removes ALL backing for Trump’s original projects, including the southern border wall. Now, given, the bill only provides funding for government until the end of September, but we have witnessed very little resistance from the Trump administration so far. Are we about to see the Republicans roll over yet again in the name of avoiding a government shutdown? I would say yes, for now.
This is one area where Trump could light a firestorm. By forcing a government shutdown, a real fight for conservative national projects and spending cuts could take place. Yet, we are still struggling with the broken monstrosity of Obamacare, we have yet to see any plan for defunding Planned Parenthood, the border wall looks to be a distant dream and military spending is slated to increase by $54 billion. At this point Trump supporters are left wondering where their limited government pit bull negotiator disappeared to?
While Trump recently indicated that a shutdown in September may be a good thing for the U.S., I'm just not buying it.
On the foreign front, Trump has been backing off of his threats against NAFTA. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Trump explained his decision by saying that he is “a nationalist and a globalist.” Yikes.
Trump has now also refused to label China a currency manipulator, which was an action many originally thought he would pursue. This decision, in my view, is likely in preparation for a strike on North Korea; a war no one asked for and which America cannot possibly afford at this time. China’s move to step back from its protective stance with North Korea supports my longstanding argument that Eastern nations are completely tied to globalist geopolitics; meaning, they do what they are told. If China remains hands-off, a conflict with North Korea is nearly a certainty.
This kind of saber rattling would be contrary to Trump’s position on Iraq during his campaign, which was, to summarize his many remarks, a quagmire, a mess of a war that made little sense and gained America nothing. If Iraq was a mess, then what will North Korea be with its far better armed military and more ideologically dedicated soldiers? A war in North Korea would take twice as much time and capital to complete, but maybe that is the point…
So, the question is, why has Trump flipped so completely and so quickly on is political positions since November of last year? I believe there are at least two identifiable reasons.
First, it is important to note that Trump was placed in office as a means to scapegoat all conservatives and the principles of sovereignty and limited government for the disasters that will inevitably follow. This is the premise that I used to successfully predict Trump’s election win, and it is the premise that I used to successfully predict Trump’s behavior and policy shifts up to this point. Trump is in office for one reason — to destroy the name of conservatism for all time.
That said, Trump’s support from many conservatives has not been as blind and faithful as the globalists might have hoped. We remain rather critical, and thankfully, ever watchful. We are not a zombie mob that can be easily exploited by some fearless leader on a white horse; unlike Obama’s sycophantic army of liberal followers, we still retain our principles.
This does not necessarily save us from being scapegoated by internationalist propaganda in the years to come. I have heard many argue that Trump’s sudden flip-flop negates the idea that Trump is a conservative scapegoat because “he is not acting like a conservative.” These people are oblivious to human psychology.
The fact is, Trump ran on a conservative nationalist platform, and his rhetoric continues to fuel his nationalist image, even if his actions do not. The globalists will paint him as a conservative and the majority of people around the world will continue to accept this narrative because rhetoric is often more powerful in people’s minds than tangible results. Liberals in particular will never let go of the idea that Trump is a conservative because they desperately long for vindication that conservative principles are “evil.” Every mistake Trump makes, though not conservative at all in nature, will be blamed on conservatism and nationalism as a whole. From what I have seen so far, the only people that are rationally critical of Trump as a conservative are actual liberty minded conservatives.
Yes, we despise the crazed cultural Marxists of the social justice cult, and we are rightly concerned about the liberal population’s shift towards full bore communism. Plus, we do not like Islamic extremism and won’t tolerate it within our borders. But we also are not too keen on the idea of being puppets for a fake conservative government, either.
This is one reason I believe Trump has suddenly flipped; the globalist scheme to co-opt the liberty movement and constitutional conservatives has failed. It is a scheme I warned about months before the election in my article 'Clinton vs. Trump And The Co-Option Of The Liberty Movement'. At this time, there is no point in Trump continuing to play his role as a stalwart of sovereignty. We have not been won over in a way that makes us easy to manipulate, which means we might not support certain globalist initiatives like martial law in the wake of a crisis, a national federalized ID card in the name of immigration control, regime changes in Syria or North Korea, etc. We may even organize in opposition to such measures.
This leads to the next reason why I believe Trump has so swiftly reversed his positions: Perhaps he and his establishment handlers no longer need to maintain the conservative sovereignty facade because a full spectrum crisis is about to take place; a crisis so consuming that the public will be completely distracted while the elites push their agenda forward and blame conservatives at the same time.
The move against North Korea may be part of this event. By itself, North Korea would be a very cumbersome regional war that could bankrupt the U.S. (officially bankrupt as opposed to technically bankrupt). The level of determination to increase tensions with North Korea is truly astounding. I have not seen such senseless rhetoric from the White House since the Iraq War. Obama was a war crazed lunatic, but with Trump and North Korea, there doesn't even seem to be much of an attempt at an explanation as to why a war is suddenly necessary. It just seems to be scheduled to happen.
However, I continue to believe that a greater crisis is brewing that is economic and global in nature. With numerous financial bubbles artificially inflated over at least eight years of central bank stimulus, the question is not “if” but WHEN the system will enter the final stages of its ongoing collapse.
The behavior of the Trump administration may be nothing more than poor timing or poor planning on the part of the globalist establishment. Perhaps they just didn’t play this part of the long game in an expert manner. But, I tend towards caution rather than naive hope and unicorns.
The record setting flip-flop by Trump should not be taken lightly or simply treated as aimless schizophrenia on the part of the White House. While the Obama administration flipped on numerous campaign promises, they did so subtly while maintaining their lies in a strategic way for two full terms. This is not what is happening today. Trump’s dramatic change, in my view, should be taken as a signal that a much greater game is afoot, with far higher stakes. It should also be treated as a sign that if a crisis is on the verge of being engineered, then it will be happening rather soon, perhaps before 2017 is over.
There will be ongoing arguments as to whether the Trump White House has been hijacked or if it was a controlled element all along. I lean more towards the position that it was controlled all along. I have seen little to no resistance on the part of Trump against the establishment, only rhetoric. And, as I have said so many times, rhetoric is meaningless, only actions matter.
It is exceedingly positive in a way that Trump’s reversal has been so fast and so complete. It shows that conservatives and liberty champions have not been subsumed into the so called “alt-right” (a made up term designed to pigeonhole and demonize all true conservatives); that the elites miserably bungled their plans to co-opt us. That said, for every success there are consequences. It may be that our refusal to “buy into” the Trump momentum and cast off our skepticism has caused the establishment to adjust their timetable. And, when the elites do not get what they want, they tend to fall back on their tried and true tool kit of violence and disaster.

When the Alt Market Web site was down the past day or two, I had wondered if you were working on a new article. Here it is, and it is good and well thought out. A lingering question I have now, and maybe you answered this before, is if Hillary's statement that we are all "deplorables" was her going rogue or if indeed she was forced to say that? That to me was the turning point in the campaign, not any of her accusations now of Comey's or Russian influence. When you openly tell a majority of Americans that either they should be reprogrammed or eliminated, you engender profound hostility and animosity. Every horrible trait conservatives would have about her, were encapsulated in that one statement.
I voted for Trump. I don't regret it, but having lived in DC, I also am aware at how much that city thrives on power and who has it. Trump has openly stated the same in a recent interview, talking about the "power" he feels in the Oval Office. Like he had never felt power before in his life??? As a billionaire and CEO of his own company?? It was a confusing interview to me, but also revealing. The power Trump feels now is different, obviously, and also why the hundreds of other so-called "conservatives" who go to Washington get co-opted the same.
These are certainly perilous times, and ones to be keenly observant and get your spiritual house in order. In the end, that is the only part of us that cannot be taken away.

All the talk about masses being "dumb" and Trump not "trustable" or sincere is all fun and good until it all comes to a head.
The same held true about the "crown" and the "leaders" of the rebellion in 1770's and even then the masses were called as dumb then as many are saying now.
The guns are coming out to settle this and its resolution is going to be as "smart" a solution as the militia is smart -- thank God.
If we were dependent on the congress, we'd be screwed.
Hope the Constitution makes it through and living guilty bastards (obama, hilduhbeast) find "justice" before my back and knees give out.
I'd rather fight from here -- under and alongside Trump values, with the militia, skin in the game.

You ask this question a lot, my friend.
I still believe Le Pen will win. Also, Rickards was indeed right about Brexit and Trump as I was, but he continues to be horribly misguided when it comes to China and Russia being "anti-globalist". Just look at how they are backing off on North Korea. So, I wouldn't necessarily use him as your only measuring stick, even if he ends up being correct on the French election.

Except, in the 1770's Trump would be working on the side of the crown. He would be a Tory, as many colonialists were during the revolution. In fact most of the people the revolutionaries fought were OTHER Americans loyal to the crown. This is what made their victory so astonishing.

written by TruthSeeker777 , May 04, 2017
Brandon,
Given your ability to see the truth quote easily on most matters, I am curious about your opinion on the legitimacy of the American Revolution. You are correct in pointing out that most of the Colonists were loyal to the crown, so was the victory truly "astonishing" or just more scripted history? A rag-tag group of militiamen defeating the most powerful empire in the world? It appears to be just another lie in this world of illusions.
Before its "independence" America had been infested with adepts of the Mystery Schools (Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, etc.). At least 50 of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence were confirmed Masons. Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John Hancock, and the rest of the "Founding Fathers" were, almost without exception, Freemasons. The founders didn't even try to hide these affiliations, as you can see on the Great Seal a pyramid with the all-seeing eye of Lucifer with the phrase "Novus Ordo Seclorum" which means "a new order of the ages."
Besides all that, just look at the 1783 Treaty of Paris. Why would the victor be negotiating with the enemy it just crushed? From the very beginning of the treaty you can see we weren't negotiating from a place of strength...
"It having pleased the Divine Providence to dispose the Hearts of the most Serene and most Potent Prince George the Third, by the Grace of God, King of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, Duke of Brunswick and Lunebourg, Arch- Treasurer and Prince Elector of the Holy Roman Empire etc.. and of the United States of America..."
The reason I believe this matters is because we cannot comprehend why things are happening in the present day if we don't even understand the origin and purpose of our nation.

Perhaps part of the strategy was to make certain to get the mass of conservatives on the side of the government; anybody resisting the central authority could then be grouped together with ANTIFA, BLM, and any other flavor of Soros funded militant nihilists. A majority of those that might have resisted a progressive branded central authority will back a NeoCon one attacking those branded as fringe groups.

As we understand from the Russian defector Anatoliy Golitsyn, North Korea is a proxy for China and Russia and will be used in the up-coming world conflict to draw and weaken the West.
"U.S. policy for dealing with the North Korean situation is inadequate because it focuses on North Korea in isolation as a rogue state, and naively seeks help from the Russians and Chinese to solve the problem. The North Korea situation and any future nuclear incident, wherever it occurs, must be seen against the background of Sino-Soviet 'convergence' strategy: the interaction of Russian and Chinese policy and the moves they make to derive strategic gains from critical situations should be closely studied."
- Anatoliy Golitsyn, the highest ranking KGB defector to the West, The Perestroika Deception, 1990, p.46
When the war comes, China/Russia and their client Islamic states (Iran especially),will work to blame the West, so they may be justified in their conquest;

@Truthseeker
I find it a rather silly notion that the elites would actually conspire to create the US constitution and the Bill of Rights only to then spend the next two centuries trying to DISMANTLE them.
The colonials didn't "crush" the British, they fought an arduous guerrilla war and managed to grind down the British economy through debt until they could no longer afford to continue sending supplies and troops. The founders knew that the Brits could easily come back again in a short period of time after funds were replenished, which they DID, even with the treaty.
You forget about the war of 1812 and the constant British attempts to sabotage America. What was the point of that if the Founding Fathers were already some kind of "secret elites" under their control?
The founding fathers also had nothing to do with the great seal. That was not even made visible to the public by the elites until the presidency of Franklin D Roosevelt.
Just because some of them were Freemasons does not mean they were illuminati. There are people from the mystery schools through history that have been opposed to the illuminists.

Remember it was not long before Hamilton and Washington wanted a national bank,which Jefferson saw as as serious threat. Some of this nonsense started at the beginning.
written by Brandon Smith , May 04, 2017
@Renewed
It was Hamilton that pushed for a national bank, whispering in the ear of Washington and Adams. He is the only "founder" that evidence shows as an agent for the elites.
Actually, if you look at how hard it was for the elites to establish a central bank in America, with two major failures before the Federal Reserve in 1913-1916, this only proves my point further. The elites had very little influence over our government at its birth. They had to slowly infiltrate over decades.

No, Trump is controlled opposition. Why invade North Korea AT ALL? It makes little sense. North Korea is no more a threat to the US than it was a year ago. The only way North Korea can hurt us is if we invade them. The only people who benefit from such an invasion are the elites.
Trump isn't negotiating anything. He's following a script. How can he "persuade" the public when he refuses to follow through on most of his campaign promises?

Brandon,
Let's see what the orderly liquidation authority under Dodd-Frank (Donald Trump's executive order in April and Jeb Hensarling's committee bill today) is replaced with.
The banker's, The Fed, the Democrats, the institutions of higher learning all supported/still support Dodd-Frank. But not a damned fucking one of them ever clued in the American people that a bank's balance sheet shows demand deposits (checking accounts), savings accounts, and certificates of deposit as clearly being liabilities of a bank.
Any American with money in any bank (it is an asset to the depositor) is subject to having their assets confiscated to save a bank.
It may not be much, but killing the possibility that depositors funds could be bailed in so that taxpayers do not have to bail out a bank would be a victory for the common man.
And we may not get many of those the way things are looking.
written by Kirk Plank , May 04, 2017
Brandon I get your reasoning and I'm not ruling out that he's controlled opposition. My point on persuasion is he used to be called Hitler and there was so much paranoia, the trending headline is now he's incompetent. I'd rather be incompetent than Hitler. Trump is creating an asset from North Korea, he gets to use China as a bargaining chip, if we ever invade North Korea, you'll be proven right. (I believe it won't happen) Notice all their test failures no comment from you on that... Perhaps North Korea is softening up because Trump is in charge.
written by mongoos , May 04, 2017
There's one big problem with the writer's argument: who ever said that Trump is conservative? He's a businessman. And an enterpreneur with international business connections. He's shown the ability to "make deals." But this doesn't make him conservative. A "conservative" by definition is one who wants to place limits on the power and the scope of government. Trump so far has shown no such inclinations.
written by Brandon Smith , May 04, 2017
@Kirk
North Korea has always had test failures. I don't see how that is relevant.
I have been saying since before the election that Trump would be labeled the "bungling nationalist"; and that the philosophies of conservatism and sovereignty would be tied to him, dragging the rest of us down as he sinks.
Of course, the lefties are still always going to call him "Hitler". That's never going to change.
written by Brandon Smith , May 04, 2017

No, the problem is that you misunderstood the article. I never claimed that Trump was a conservative. TRUMP ran on a conservative platform of limited government and "draining the swamp" of elitist influence. That was HIS campaign message.
Perhaps you did not pay attention during the election?

"So, the question is, why has Trump flipped so completely and so quickly on is political positions since November of last year? I believe there are at least two identifiable reasons."
The first reason... meh. The second yes.
Also it might just be because it was always part of the plan/agenda. The man is on a schedule and they want to get things done as quickly as possible. It helps if there are still enough believers/followers as there always are in the time after the election. So better to start stuff right away when the belief level is still high.
The name of the game seems to be: confusion.
Claim to be 'America first' and then do the opposite. Talk bad about China, then be friends. Talk about a wall and then show pictures of a lame fence :) Claim to be a nationalist and a globalist at the same time... Many will try to justify all of these things since they are believers in Trump. Once you accept both opposites in your mind as true... spellbound 1984 style doublespeak and think.
The fake news (whatever your definition is) is helping also. Lies on a regular basis and grand scale adds to the confusion of the masses.
As for people being disappointed in Trump... how many times must they fool you before you wise up? Stop the doublethink. The government is not there to help you. Just look at their actions.

"Meh" is not really an argument.
Also, for the record, I am not personally disappointed by Trump because I had no expectations that he was anything other than a globalist patsy or a cooperator. Anyone who thought Trump was going to run the establishment out on a rail was kidding themselves. I tried to warn them...

Brandon: Yes, I did pay attention during the election. I predicted a Trump win, as you did. I was ecstatic that finally, the GOP would have control of the WH and both chambers of Congress.

Whether the latter indicates Globalist infiltration remains to be seen. Could it just be basic incompetence?
I still maintain that Trump is no conservative. Maybe his heart is in the right place, and he will "rule" with a pen and a phone as Obama did ... but in favor of MY interests, for a change. Maybe we can think of Trump as a Libertarian. But conservative, he ain't.

The leadership of both national political parties are Progressives, and Progressives are re-imaged Bismarkians who aspire for absolute authority-power following Otto Von Bismark's blueprint catalyzing Bismarkian policies first by governmental fiefdoms and then public-private partnerships (foundations of Oligarchy and Kleptocracy) who will strive for public-private mergers as government-medical (single payer), government-banking, government-agricultural (Monsanto-Dupoint), government-energy, and etc. They merely disagree on the power-structure hierarchy details.
Case and point, Ryan proposed ACA tweak reforms that Freedom House Caucus opposed, and Ryan's tax reform proposal included tariffs that the Freedom House Caucus opposes. Globalization as promoted by Thomas Friedman, Jeffrey Sachs, and etc declare tariffs being a major no-no to prevent harmonizing laws to ensure stock exchanges from New York returns through California passing London, Brussels, Frankfurt, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Seol, and etc.
Seol, South Korea is effectively why North Korea is considered a 'threat to US national interests'.

Think it through, if you support Trump utilizing Top-Down Solutions utilizing Progressive Governance in 'Conservative favor' when the major shock occurs that is inevitable who takes the blame? Conservatives, Liberty supporters, national sovereignty advocates and supporters, and etc; whether, Trump is factually a 'conservative' or not...

I just don’t know if there’s anything more to Trump than this: He is not a moral or principled man, and he has no political philosophy: liberal, conservative, free market, socialism—it’s all an angle to be played. I think he simply lied, you know, like a politician. He rightly tapped into the conservative-leaning majority’s disgust with the status quo, and his anti-establishment street-fighter personality (which I’m sure is genuine) pushed him over the top. Oh, he will probably do many of the most visible things he said he would do--to some degree, eventually. But I think with him everything is negotiable, as long as he makes the deal (i.e. wins – the winning we’re going to get tired of). Will he be used? Sure. Doesn't require him to be in on it for that.

I suspect that is wishful thinking. The speed at which Trump shifted his positions indicates he never intended to fulfill most of them.

1. Trump was a gangster from his entry into business, being a protege of Roy Cohn and several other serious Kosher Nostra patrons, mainly "Chabadnicks" as they are commonly called.
2. Son-in-law Jared Kushner is himself a Chabadnick AND a business partner of...George Soros and Goldman. See here:
http://www.veteranstoday.com/2017/05/03/wall-street-journal-jared-kushner-has-ties-with-goldman-sachs-and-george-soros/
Trump is a project of the Zio wing of the NWO, nothing more. Neocons everywhere.
3. Let the swamp be not only undrained but further putrefied.
4. Trump was never really a scapegoat, as the "conservatives" in the sense of traditional Republicans were conned just as the progressive idiots were conned by Obama. Always a savior on the horizon, right? Conservatives in the sense of libertarians are too minimal in number to serious be concerned with. It was time for another "change", just the normal crap. So the "alt right" is disgruntled? Yawn. the standard Republicans I talk are still rabid pro-Trump because, well, obviously it's genetic. Nobody imagines Trump is any sort of conservative (he is also great pals with the Clintons)--though he sang that song, of course. The guy who ghost wrote The Art of the Deal (Tony Schwartz?) said that Trump never had a political ideology, unless total narcissism was such. Besides, all the leadership in Congress are paid off whores of the NWO, so even if the president though differently, it wouldn't matter (he doesn't). Of course, Trump was used to funnel anxieties about a country going economically, socially and culturally down the drain, Quigley said 50 years ago that the purpose of political parties was for this very purpose.
5. Trump seems to be traditionally positioned as another Boy Bush--the guy who starts wars when the agenda calls for one. Korea might be the chosen target, though the Middle East needs further "standardization" before we are fully ready to kill off the US into the Third World.
6. Why would anyone imagine that a president could ever be more than a sock puppet of what is now called the Deep State (a term I really dislike, because it identifies no one)? According to Veteran's Today (no, I read them with care, just like I read everyone else), Trump is drunk most of the time and has no attention span. Sock puppet.
7. As an economy reaches the breaking point, it's usually time for war. However as Paul Craig Roberts has noted, the breaking point seems susceptible to indefinite prolongation, as the Fed can just print the money to buy new bonds which can retire old bonds. Infinite money printing.This gets us to the Third World eventually, but the that's the plan. And it avoids default, at least as a formal matter. Without real counterparties (China and Russia are, of course, partners in the NWO), dumping their debt is not a problem. The currency reset presumably is still in the works, but I wonder if further meat from the carcass of Americans remains to be picked. Think pension plans and other savings, etc. Basic universal income is waiting offstage to usher in a feudal state. As part of Agenda 2030, global warming (with its energy currency) and other programs.
8. How many people get this? The readership here certainly. How many are they? Do we matter? I suspect not, but that doesn't mean we don't persevere. Too pessimistic? Perhaps, but at age 67, I note that the blindness of people is a sad constant.

@Steve B
I agree with most of your comment but have a couple issues:
First, Trump is DEFINITELY a scapegoat for the coming crash. This is why they needed him in office rather than Clinton. This is how I predicted his election victory. Trump will always be thought of as a conservative in the mainstream, even if he is not one. When the final phase of the collapse begins, they WILL blame conservatives and our principles for it. Count on it.
Second, the liberty movement is EVERYWHERE; the elites would not have run a candidate on such a platform otherwise. They co-opt movements that are a danger to them. That's what they do. This website has around 250,000 readers per month. Other sites have far more.
The prepper movement has an estimated 5 million people, and I suspect the real number is double that. Add to this the regular conservatives that are not necessarily preparing for a disaster, and you have a massive population of people that can easily swing history in one direction or another. The elites are afraid of us, and clearly hoped to co-opt us in one swift chess move. Bloomberg even published an article on this action and applauded Trump for subsuming patriots and "tea party people".
Third, Paul Craig Roberts is almost always wrong. Has been for years.

Great article, the only quibble is I didn't see you offer the possibility that Trump changed his positions because he was cloned/replaced with a double/blackmailed/ etc. As crazy as things are, is anything off the table at this point??!!
Then I've also read that some think he's playing a game of 4D chess, 'baiting the elite' into overextending so he can expose them etc. Wishful thinking is a powerful drug, indeed.
What is going on literally has people - me included - grasping for straws because what we are looking at as it happens is just too diabolically evil to believe it is real...but the sooner we all see it as it is, the better chance we will all have to survive what is coming.
BTW, saw you mention secret societies above. I just finished reading Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval's book, 'The Master Game', and it covers a lot of interesting history of secret societies, including the claims that many who opposed the Illuminati actually have roots in gnostic Christianity - and that movement may be related to the Egyptian Hermetic schools.
A very good book, though they seem to miss that infiltration of those mystery schools happened around the same time Bruno was burned at the stake and Campanella told them all he knew. Curious that burning at the stake seemed to end as a punishment at that time; but then again, you don't need to punish those whom you have successfully infiltrated, especially if you can now use their knowledge to YOUR advantage...

@Implied
I can only really comment officially on what I have evidence of. But, if we are going to entertain something that far down the rabbit hole, my thinking is that doing some kind of "body snatcher" scenario is far more complicated than simply blackmailing or controlling a politician.
I am also VERY familiar with the history of gnostic Christianity. It seems to me that there have always been elements of the mystery schools that were opposed to the illuminists, like the Cathars of France opposed to the illuminist controlled Catholic Church. My belief is that many of the Founding Fathers were part of that movement of anti-illuminists. But, if you are only looking at the surface, they share similar mythological studies. That doesn't mean the founders were secret agents of the dark side or anything.
To drive the point home, just because I am well studied in gnostic Christian history as well as the hermetic systems and archetypal psychology does not mean I am from the darkside, either. I see it as a valuable part of Christianity which was deliberately destroyed and buried by the elites. The good guys can use such knowledge, too.

Having been in the D.C. circus it is information that gets you elected or keeps you employed.
Hillary Clinton had been given a specific server with information with blackmail.
Not just any blackmail but real incrementing intelligence on her political enemies that would put them in jail or a grave.
The path was cleared for her to be the first female president until powerful insiders circumvented the gate keepers and gave Donald Trump the same incrementing intelligence too.
Crack the whip in the big top circus. Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders just pick any political hack all are fundamentally trained circus dogs.
They are schooled a certain way to perform for the crowds. They are rewarded with power, money as long as they follow the performance routine.
Donald Trump is very well trained circus dog owing billions of dollars to very powerful groups.
These groups have incrementing intelligence on Donald Trump who is the president now.
He will perform the routine or be destroyed.
So no matter how many times your blog is right we have no power to alter the outcome.
Having no illusion the people we are going to fight understand violence using power of fiat money.
Water, food, shelter, weapons, family and God along with the KISS principal is still relevant.

Well written article once again, thank you.
I have a couple of questions for you:
1. You mentioned about the elites adjusting their timetable... I found this interesting as I happened to notice in one of the IMF's recent documents that "The role of the SDR" was apparently somewhat delayed. What do you think of this? could this mean they're not going to implement the SDR yet for some time?
Document: http://www.imf.org/~/media/Fil...42017.ashx
2. Major banks (IMF, Santander, Bank of America, JP Morgan and a heck of a lot more) have been for the past few months gone strongly into the world of cryptocurrencies. This has left me kind of confused as the technology that is behind cryptocurrencies is in direct opposition to what the globalists want. It has no central sources, no leaders, no centralized servers, it cannot be controlled the same way fiat can (the decision processes relating to the currencies are usually democratic) and it provides high financial privacy to it's users. Why do you think, in light of all this, these major banks are still going strongly into the cryptocurrency world?
written by any mouse , May 05, 2017
After reading endless comments, will no one suggest what C.S. Lewis would have penned as the "horror and neglect of the obvious?"
Trump was the most laughably unlikely choice for head of state, second only to Hillary. Somehow he bumbled his way up the ladder of nominees, with one course, outlandish remark after another and with the media eating up his wildly inappropriate behavior like chocolate candy. No other candidate got half the screen time or had half the chance to bewitch the American people. He shamelessly verbalized all the secret wishes and frustrations we held inside after 8 years of captivity to Obama's polite madness and coy destruction. Christians fell hook, line and sinker for promises to protect life, scale back progressive politics and bring back law and order. Trump tickled ears jogging across the country with his red hat and blunt, in your face plain language, with no apologies whatsoever.
Now he's elected and he has shaved Islam off Radical, (as of yesterday, at the National Day of Prayer in the Rose Garden.) And his glorious first stop on his next tour will be Saudi Arabia, the "custodian of the two holiest sites of Islam," where he will meet with our "Muslim allies" to achieve peace. May 3rd, he told Mahmoud Abbas, leader of Palestine, that he would do "whatever is necessary" to broker Middle East peace."
These are funny goals for the man who built a campaign against terrorists and illegal immigrants, and who sacrificed the Wall for the god of the swamp monsters. And who may let Planned Parenthood keep the unborn babies and tax dollars they burn at the altar of Molech, so to speak. The war machine will get fed big time, and the warmongers will sleep again at night. While still other Republicans will stonewall their own party until they are allowed to gut the health care, as if anyone could have predicted they would botch it up worse than Obamacare.
Is President Trump a great actor? Is he an opportunistic chameleon? Is he the world's most formidable businessman, who wants to broker the biggest deal in the world? Middle East peace? Would that make him the Anti-Christ? Or is he just one more would be well intentioned politician who got dragged into the cesspool that is DC? Has be been threatened? Or has he become intoxicated with power? Has he had a real Christian faith conversion, as was suggested by a prominent faith leader? Or did he take the faith leaders, the Christian community, and America at large on a wild ride?
The only thing I know for sure that is obvious is Mr. Trump has the nuclear codes and it's a wee bit too late to speculate.

@Any Mouse
I wouldn't inject too much importance into Trump. When all is said and done, Trump is just another middleman for the elites. He is a mascot. The elites have the nukes, not Trump. They've always had the nukes. If they were going to nuke the world, they would have years ago. They want population reduction, but they aren't going to vaporize trillions of dollars in infrastructure and their control grid to get it.
People put too much importance into Obama as well, making him into some kind of apocalyptic figure. Presidents are not important. Always look to the banks for the greatest evil.

@Bensh
1) No, I think the SDR is on schedule. 2018 will be the year that the globalists begin ending the dollar's world reserve status and slowly shifting nations into the basket of currencies for trade.
2) Global banks have been DEEPLY involved in cryptocurrencies for years now. They are all setting up blockchain based systems and accounts. This is because cryptocurrencies are a SHAM. Bitcoin, for instance, is a completely traceable system. Bitcoin's blockchain even relies on transactions being completely open and catalogued.
Bitcoiners think they are outsmarting the establishment when in reality the establishment is using them as a beta-test for the future digital currency system. When all transactions are placed on a digital ledger there is no real privacy. The Feds can track and have tracked bitcoin transactions in the past when they wanted to.
If something is always watched it can be controlled. In the future, cryptocurrencies will be fully centralized. The promise of monetary decentralization is a lie when it comes to anything digital.
written by pd james , May 05, 2017
@Bensh
You absolutely nailed it. Such an encouraging comment from someone reading a liberty movement website. The movement needs to bone up on crypto. It's not just about bitcoin.
What many critics of crypto don't seem to realize is that the system is USING blockchain tech to their own advantage over their competition, not because they can control it but because it's more efficient. So how do they ban it? Hollywood is being taken to the woodshed by bittorrent tech. Did the government ban it? No. Why? Because they CAN’T. It’s too decentralized. In fact, 50% of internet traffic takes place over bittorrent tech because it’s simply better. Hollywood is using the technology that is destroying them and the same thing is happening in cryptocurrency as the banks try to embrace it. The individual needs to learn to use crypto for HIS advantage.
The best the system can do is "whack-a-mole." That should be fun. There will be a worldwide "black" market worth trillions as the elite attempt to consolidate up the pyramid. Bitcoin or some other crypto will be the reserve currency of that free market in which programmers will treat government tyranny as just another software bug. Their plans are not going work and crypto as well as the liberty movement will be the reason why. The majority of tech geeks in crypto have the same values as those in the liberty movement.
I think I heard Brandon once say "Low tech beats high tech.” I get it. But as complex as bitcoin is intellectually the bottom line is very low tech. Bitcoin is math. The government can't point a gun at 2+2 and make it equal 5. That’s resistance to tyranny about as low tech as you can get.
written by Brandon Smith , May 05, 2017
@PD James
No, bitcoin is digital tulips, not math. Creating what essentially amounts to a bunch of 1's and 0's in a digital file and giving it monetary status is just as arbitrary as what central banks do. This is WHY central banks are adopting the technology. They would not adopt blockchain systems unless they could control them.
Also, as stated already, Bitcoin is traceable. The Feds do it ALL THE TIME when they actually want to. Bitcoin is the beginning of the next monetary system - a beta test for a completely digitized and centralized monetary beast.
If you can print it on a whim, it is not money. If you can't hold it in your hand, it is not money. How many more Mt. Gox incidents have to take place before Bitcoiners understand this? I don't think they ever will. They think they are going to defeat the NWO with cryptography. They are living in la la land.
written by pd james , May 05, 2017
@Brandon
You keep saying the elite will control bitcoin but you never say how they’re going to do it.
Bitcoin is NOT traceable if you know what you're doing. Furthermore it's not just about bitcoin. Zcash and monero provide total anonymity and their BTC crosses are highly liquid (and private) markets.
"If you can print it on a whim, it is not money."
You CAN'T print bitcoin. That's the whole bloody point. You should know this by now.
"How many more Mt. Gox incidents have to take place before Bitcoiners understand this?"
How many Mt Goxes have to taek place as bitcoin keeps making all-time highs before skeptics realize exchanges have nothing to do with the security of bitcoin? Be warned: If you put you're bitcoin on an exchange it's at risk. So don't do it.
I think you're a brilliant guy Brandon but you've got a serious mental block when it comes to crypto. I'm not being critical just calling it as I see it. Whatever, people can disagree. That's what makes a market.
So to recap the bottom line: Please tell me in light of the points above, how do the elite control bitcoin?
written by Brandon Smith , May 05, 2017
@PD James
More rationalizations and nonsense.
Who CREATED Bitcoin? Who designed it? We have no idea. Bitcoiners claim it doesn't matter, but if this is an NSA or elitist project then I think it rather important. If it doesn't matter then the creators are not really in any danger. They should come forward to promote their creation and give reassurance that it is not meant for future digital centralization.
Bitcoin IS FUCKING TRACEABLE, and has been for years. There are numerous examples of the FBI laughing at the supposed anonymity of Bitcoin and tracking users that were well schooled in the technology.

http://money.cnn.com/2015/02/05/technology/security/bitcoin-silk-road/
I never said Bitcoins can be printed, but they are still created out of thin air. They are intangible nonsense. Anyone can create a cryptocurrency, it is the "market" which gives that currency "value", and markets can be easily controlled, as any idiot today can very well observe.
Bitcoin at "all-time highs" in value? According to who? What value? Value in dollars? In Euros? Who cares. Bitcoin's value is arbitrary. It can crash just as easily as it skyrockets because its market is a fallacy based on perceived demand, not real demand.
The point of Mt. Gox is that the Bitcoins that were held there are GONE FOREVER. They are never coming back. If this is possible in a limited scenario, then it is possible in a wider scenario.
I don't have a "block" when it comes to Bitcoin. I was approached by representatives of the system at its very birth. They wanted me to promote it but could not answer some very simple questions I had. Such as, if the internet suffers from government shutdown or restriction, which has happened in other countries in recent years, then how does one trade Bitcoins or retrieve bitcoins. They had nothing to say.
The real problem here is that cryptography people have MASSIVE egos and assume they are the smartest people in the room. They blindly dismiss any problems that are presented with Bitcoin, as you have. You simply refuse to look at the evidence, such as in the case of bitcoin tracking.
As far as control of Bitcoin is concerned, like I said, Bitcoin CAN be tracked (you need to accept this and get over it). If it can be tracked and there is no anonymity, then one of the primary purposes of bitcoin is null and void. If it can be tracked, then it can be controlled. Beyond that, Bitcoin's value is subject to arbitrary forces dominating markets, just as with most markets today, including paper gold and silver. The difference with gold and silver is that they can be traded in the REAL world in localized trade (with true anonymity instead of fraudulent anonymity like bitcoin) without market influence and value can be determined by REAL DEMAND.
Finally, as I also already stated and was ignored, bitcoin is a beta test for a future centralized system that central bankers are already building. Bitcoin's value will be reduced to dust once this system is in place, if bitcoin even continues to exist at all. Like I said, Bitcoins are tulips. Tulips at one time were worth millions. And almost overnight they were worth nothing. Unless you have a tangible hard commodity in your hand or backing your currency, it will always be worthless. It will just take the dupes a little time to realize it.

@Cal S:
- as primers I would recommend the Hancock/Bauval book "The Master Game" I mentioned above, and also "Not in His Image" by John Lamb Lash. I also got a lot out of "The History of the World, Volumes I, II, and III" from Laura Knight-Jadczyck. Anything beyond those books I would love to hear from via Brandon, too.
@ Brandon:
Yeah, I figured anyone who writes articles under the name "Giordano Bruno" probably knows MUCH about gnostic Christianity. (I bet you never played with matches.)
I also agree that there are 'light' and 'dark' practitioners, but there has been so much disinformation over the last several hundred years that many who think they are 'serving the light' may in fact be deluded into serving dark factions while under the impression that they are advancing humanity...not to imply that you are doing so, as you are obviously not.
I am heartened in fact that you are open to the vision of Christ being far, FAR more than the bastardized, suffering, dying version of him nailed to a violated ankh (symbol of life) that the Catholic church has foisted on us; because that knowledge is what can set us free, indeed. But this is a discussion for another forum.
So - there is one more thing I was wondering, vis-a-vis Trump: could it be that there is a faction behind the scenes who is FOR humanity, but who is trying hard to make things look as dire as possible, exposing *every* *single* *evil* PURPOSEFULLY and exaggerating it beyond belief to deliberately engage the masses such that the bulk of humanity SEES this evil, and thus mentally realizes that things NEED to change, and then envision a better future, thus creating it?
Of course, this would mean that the reality that we see is created by the shared vision of humanity...and I shudder to think, but...WHAT IF???

If bitcoin is traceable as you say, then how does a worldwide multibillion-dollar dark market dealing in illicit drugs exist using bitcoin? This is direct competition to the bankers network of narcotrafficking and directly contradicts your claim that bitcoin is as traceable as you say. I guess the bankers are biding their time to wait for the right moment to strike? Bitcoin is traceable if you use it like a moron, like Ross Ulbrich, bless him. Furthermore great advances in privacy are coming.
We are in the EARLY DAYS of crypto and people like you expect it to change the world today or it's a failure or NWO conspiracy.
Please answer this simple, honest question for me: is there a point at which you are willing to admit that you were wrong about cryptocurrency? You seem like an honest guy to me Brandon, I'm just trying to get inside your head.

@messianic
As I have evidenced above, there is no privacy whatsoever in the blockchain, no matter how savvy the user. This is why bankers LOVE the concept of the blockchain. Either that, or they originally created it themselves.
The relationship between the international banks and bitcoin is openly discussed.
Welles Fargo works closely with Bitfinex, a Bitcoin exchange transferring bitcoin to Welles Fargo accounts as well as exchanging them for national currencies. There was a lawsuit recently, but it was dropped quickly.
Goldman Sachs has stated that Bitcoin is an "ideal vehicle for public transactions.
Barclays works with Bitcoin firm Circle, a company backed by Goldman Sachs.
An ex-JP Morgan executive is now launching a Bitcoin based firm called Shuttle Fund.
All major international banks are also working on their own blockchain system which I believe is meant to become the replacement for the Bitcoin beta-test in the future.
Here's how I look at the creation limitation on Bitcoin - the original promoters claimed that Bitcoin could not be tracked with the right precautions; that was a lie. They also claimed that bitcoins already created could not be lost forever or destroyed; that was a lie. So, why should anyone believe that their creation limit is viable, either?
written by Brandon Smith , May 06, 2017
@PD James
I have already linked to examples of Bitcoin tracking on SAVVY users as well as direct explanations on how the FBI and other agencies track Bitcoin transactions. You clearly just don't want to accept reality.
The fact that a blackmarket exists in Bitcoin does not exclude the reality that bitcoins are easily traced. Just because the FBI chooses not to track every illicit transaction does not mean they aren't capable.
Also, how do you know the bankers aren't controlling most of the dark web transactions you mention? How do you KNOW they are in competition? The answer is you don't. You are operating on many assumptions.
I don't expect Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies to change the world AT ALL. In fact, I expect them to simply continue the same old ponzi scheme that has always existed.
When I am actually proven wrong about cryptocurrency, I'll be happy to admit it. I'm sure a lot of people will be here this Sunday to see what I say if I am wrong about the French election. I will happily say I was wrong IF I am actually wrong. The problem is, with bitcoin every new day just proves me more right. I was warning about blockchain technology and lack of privacy years ago and I have been proven correct time and time again.
written by NH Watcher , May 06, 2017
When I worked in DC, for a mid-sized government agency, we always got the warnings when we logged into our computers that everything we did was monitored and traceable. I befriended an IT colleague and asked him point blank about that warning. He said, of course, we have the technology to do so, but with the literally thousands of users in our one agency, he said, on a daily basis, no, we do not look at each and every one of your transactions. BUT, he said, all transactions are logged in by the servers and traceable. If the agency wanted to target a given employee, they can easily do so, and then have the history to back it up.
People search Google for a given term, and get the millions of hits, and often ignore what that really means. If you isolate that term, specify given parameters, you can eventually narrow down what you want to find, and it is usually quite find-able.
Why print serial numbers on paper currency if they have no meaning? Sure, it still takes human beings to execute a given command to trace a series of dollars, etc., but how many people have experience truly defying orders and living through it? We mostly live our lives following orders, without question. Oftentimes for the sake of convenience and expediency.
Is Trump the devil? No. But I do believe he is overwhelmed. His recent interviews have revealed as much. He is coming from a background of a CEO of his own company with complete authority over any crisis which may ensue. Now he is knee deep in the "swamp" and learning that a President does NOT have complete authority. Even in times of emergency, a President only has the power that the other branches of government willingly extend to him (or her). And then we can't ignore the "deep state" in all this ... and supernatural powers behind the scenes.
As Brandon often reminds us of human psychology, humans routinely want to defend their choices, and so now, those who voted for Trump have a harder time accepting him not being the "perfect" alternative to Hillary, etc. We all need to step back and remind ourselves of human frailty and fallibility. The world is looking for a savior, and Trump is not it ... nor would Hillary have been.

Brandon states;
"If they were going to nuke the world, they would have years ago. They want population reduction, but they aren't going to vaporize trillions of dollars in infrastructure and their control grid to get it."
But what if the war was pre-designed by the two sides in advance of the conflict?
"In the mid-seventies when the SALT II (Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty) was being discussed by the U.S. Senate, the author of this article (Iserbyt) arranged for a Soviet defector by the name of Igor Glagolev to come to Maine to participate in a debate with Secretary of Defense Paul Warnke. This debate was arranged by Maine's Chamber of Commerce. Glagolev did a superb job presenting reasons why the United States should not sign onto this Treaty. At dinner the same evening Glagolev informed me that prior to his defection, when he held a very high position in the Kremlin, he sat in on meetings at which David Rockefeller Sr. and Henry Kissinger were often present."
See;
http://www.newswithviews.com/iserbyt/iserbyt3.htm
In like fashion as Professor Anthony Sutton reports that certain strategic targets were not bombed during WW2.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3vZNSAi-QM.
Then they can achieve conquest/demoralisation of the West - Rockefeller said;
"We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order."
..with the critical infrastructure/control grid in place.
written by Brandon Smith , May 06, 2017
@Andy
Not sure what difference "conquest demoralization" would make in a nuclear war. I would say none whatsoever. In fact, the use of "conquest demoralization" is yet another argument AGAINST the notion that the elites want nuclear war.
Glagolev was a smart guy with a lot of insight, but he was not a globalist insider. He was aware of some of their methods, but NOT the overall specifics of their plans.
Also, I am talking about the trillions of dollars spent on biometric grids in every city in the world. Seems rather stupid of them to spend decades of resources building all of that if they only plan to vaporize it in a flash.
The nuclear war concept is, in my view, a product of Hollywood. People watch far too many movies. The elites can achieve population reduction far more effectively with economic crisis and starvation. I've also seen no evidence whatsoever that nuclear war is in the cards. Look at how China and Russia are backing down from North Korea. Just as I said they would in my last interview with X22 Report.

Dear Brandon, I just read your brilliant article and have questions
* Do you still stand by your prediction, the in June/July we will the beginning of the inflated market orgy
* What will Trump's Iran policies look like, so you might know we have presidential election in 2 weeks
Kindly evaluate, may God protect you....

How about several military encampments strategically place along the border for both training and the enforcement of a several-mile-wide "free-fire zone"? After a few well-publicized "fire-fights/killing engagements", I suspect BOTH the drug-cartel's border take-over AND the migrant influx would E-N-D. Shut down the border and then watch the MEXICAN gov solve the problem! 2) NK: the current convenient false enemy/demon of no real consequence.

Brandon, you are right, I am ascribing too much importance to mere men.
I am disturbed, however, that so many great thinkers are overly focused on Central Banks, Currency, the Elites, Secret Societies and the Illuminati.
The love of money is the root of all evil, there is no disputing that. What people choose to ignore is there will come a day when people will throw their gold and silver in the streets because their money will be worthless.
The Dark Oz like forces that dominate the world scene are supernatural more than they are genetically bred elites. In raw terms, evil people seek out and submit themselves to demonic forces that give them actual power, albeit short lived. In common terms, it is called witchcraft, sorcery, pharmakia, necromancy and the like. The rise of the death culture: skulls, suicide, murder, cannibalism, ISIS type barbarism etc., are open manifestations of the rise of demonic activity. Although there is nothing new under the sun, according to the Great Teacher in the book of Ecclesiastes, the New Testament tells us evil will wax worse and worse as time progresses, leading up to the second coming of Christ.
I disagree with you, however in that you believe these elites (the segment of society in control at the base level) are sane enough to want to preserve life as we know it and our infrastructure, etc. In fact, they are actively working to destroy not only human lives, through depopulation, "soft kill" and not so soft methods; but they are also destroying God's creation through chemtrails, "climate control", weather warfare, and other forms of engineered destruction I am too naive to understand, like CERN. No doubt they have cooked up some half baked sure to fail survival plan for themselves.
It sounds simple minded, but it boils down to a battle between good and evil, God and the devil, God's holy angels and the devil's fallen angels. A battle for God's most precious creation (man) whom God loves and the devil hates with a murderous hatred beyond our human comprehension.
It is God who causes men to rise and fall. In the end, the wicked (elites) who don't repent will wind up in their underground fortresses begging the rocks to fall on them.
"The LORD shatters the plans of the nations and thwarts all their schemes. But the LORD's plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken." Psalm 33:10
All the world's most powerful men (and women) who think they're in the driver's seat are woefully mistaken. "Don't count on your warhorse to give you victory--for all its strength, it cannot save you. But the LORD watches over those who fear Him, those who rely on His unfailing love."
Psalm 33:17-18 NLT

Brandon, I think there are many possible angles on "why". You would think if this was just a result of his becoming demoralized and raising the white flag, that now the left would stop the attacks, but they have'nt. The hard core socialists and mainstream broadcast agencies have continued to up the anti. this is total war still and i dont see the left retreating from their course which says to me there has to be more involved. is the war machine pleased? another perspective might include the idea that tptb have something on President Trump... (aka: rock>paper>scissors>). This pov seems contradictory to the Trump we saw who refused to retreat. The below news broadcast which has been a big supporter of President Trump has been exploring some ideas on their radio shows in April. See their archives here:

Certainly, this flip is demoralizing for those who had high hopes of a real change. I will continue to pray for him.

Thanks for your perspective on crypto currencies Brandon. Totally agree. It's sad to see so many folks beginning to accept and promote this sham. Besides the original crackpots there are now pm advocates who have embraced it - all are pointing to it's recent exponential price rise as a sign of legitimacy. Hilarious and pathetic.
Re nukes : cannot find fault with Anders Bjorkman's (Heiwaco.tripod.com) stance on nukes, i.e., it's one massive lie. The idea that there is a device in every nuclear warhead made since 1944 that splits the atom is a real stretch. Obviously 'dirty bombs' can be made (add some uranium/plutonium to conventional warheads) but the entire 'splits the atoms' and 'nuclear blast' narrative is a fairytale. Anders also lays waste to the 911 story and the moon landings - two obvious lies imo.
The sad takeaway is that humanity has been lied to and brainwashed en mass by the elites for much longer than anyone can imagine.

All crypto currencies rely on the a mathematical concept that P not equals NP. It has surprised me greatly to see that it's yet very much UNPROVEN!!??
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_versus_NP_problem
"The P versus NP problem is a major unsolved problem in computer science. Informally speaking, it asks whether every problem whose solution can be quickly verified by a computer can also be quickly solved by a computer."
In other words, if you can quickly VERIFY a Bitcoin transaction, are you also able to quickly CREATE a Bitcoin?
There is a prize US$1,000,000 for the first correct solution to be claimed!
On top of that fundamental mathematical uncertainty lies the problem of anonymity, which says that your Bitcoin wallet user name, for example j243jd53h3f7kgf3 and your real name, for example John Smith, can or cannot be connected by the people in power.
We've heard a promise before that your IP address, for example 8.7.45.5.3 cannot be connected to your real name haha Do you still believe it?
written by Russian_friend , May 07, 2017
Hello Brandon!
While Bitcoin and it's clones are indeed susceptible to blockchain analysis and therefore are traceable, there are more advanced cryptocurrencies out there.
Take a look at Monero that has a pretty much opaque blockchain, which provides awesome anonymity BY DEFAULT to all it's users. This is a grassroots project lacking any corporate sponsorship, developed and maintained by volunteers throughout the world.
Even if Bitcoin was/is a NWO project, it was a grave mistake by them: the technology made several leaps in the last few years, especially anonymity and privacy-wise (Monero, ZCash). The genie of decentralized, easily transferable, anonymous digital cash is out of the bottle.

"The problem is, with bitcoin every new day just proves me more right. I was warning about blockchain technology and lack of privacy years ago and I have been proven correct time and time again. "
With Monero and other private cryptocurrencies, I believe you stand corrected on this point.

your reader from Russia

Well, let's be clear, this site is not a free speech zone, it is moderated. If someone wants to have an honest discussion and they disagree with me, that is fine. However, if their only purpose is to troll and attack, then they will be booted in a second. We are not afraid to bring the Ban Hammer to bear here.
Also, if someone is shamelessly promoting a product, or their own website without really adding to the discussion, or if they argue in circles, preaching brimstone at others, or if they are constantly harping on a subject completely separate from the article subject, then there is really no point in their comments either. Trolls like to flood comment boards with inane chaos; it makes coherent discussion impossible.
If someone doesn't like that, then they can leave and make sure the door doesn't hit them in the ass on the way out.

the polls said it in the first round

Brandon, how does this change your predictions?
written by Brandon Smith , May 07, 2017
@Ezac
It doesn't affect any of my other predictions.
I would also point out that the data dump on Macron has yet to be investigated fully. If anything criminal is found in those files, it may swamp Macron's presidency before it even starts. Which, in a way, creates a problem for the EU that is similar to the one I warned about originally.
written by MiddleAgedHippy , May 08, 2017
Hi there Brandon and greetings from Europe.
I see Macron got in. No way would they have let Le Pen get it. No surprises there. I enjoy your blog and like your predictions. This last one was off but no worries, your trend analysis is correct. Do you ever follow John Ward's "The Slog"? He lives in France so has a unique perspective on the EU and UK. I live in Germany. I have to say the pumped up fear factory of the "Migrant Crisis" is thankfully easing off here, at least in my neck of the woods.
David's comments about online trolling are wise. I have been driven off a site recently by trolling when I pointed out what Cultural Marxism and PC was all about. The leftish anger was too much. I shall have to develop my own blog I think....

Not meaning to beat a dead horse, but:
'Bitcoin isn't money. The blockchain isn't a system of currency, it is a platform of trust. It's not a company, it's not a product, it's not a service you sign up for- It's the concept of decentralization applied to the human communication of value.'
If cryptocurrencies could accomplish this [ decentralization ], after being thoroughly tested, would this not accomplish what most of us seek?
It seems to me the banksters are setting up exchanges and just pretending it uses block chain.
written by Brandon Smith , May 08, 2017
@Messianic
The problem is you can't have a decentralization monetary system without private transactions. The blockchain makes all transactions traceable, and therefore, not private (as I evidenced in my comment above), or trustworthy. The blockchain, by its very nature, is anti-decentralization.
written by rusty nail , May 08, 2017
The reason people insist that bitcoin (blockchain in general) is decentralized is that they are using "decentralized" in a limited sense. It's really more "distributed" than it is decentralized. You still have to be "on the network" with everyone else - so you are still "centralized" to that network. You are still bounded within a definable context. And anything bounded within a definable context is ipso facto controllable by the someone or something that controls that defined context. And guess what kiddies? The internet is controlled by those who hold the keys...and they can log, and shut down, or open up, or do whatever they want with that network.
written by Mark Twain , May 09, 2017
Hi Brandon, presume the French election may require you to revise your thesis. I too thought a Le Pen victory would be engineered as per Trump. Macron is clearly one of their agents for change now. Media making big play about his financial-economic background. Presume this will mean he has a big role after the SHTF. Clearly they are not just installing the right wing/nationalists/ conservatives as scapegoats. It's more subtle. I suppose mainly it means they still want an EU, for now at least ;-)
written by Mark Twain , May 09, 2017
Brandon, fiat currency makes no sense in the modern, infinite incarnation. The finiteness of bitcoin has a logical advantage over fiat which is created out of thin air by retail banks, when they make loans; or when leveraged via derivatives; and created by the trillions in QE. I personally would rather be diversified into crypto and metals when the SHTF.

Even if Bitcoin ends up being finite (which I have doubts of), it is still digital tulips with completely arbitrary value based on perceived demand rather than real demand. It is also NOT private, and likely never will be (anyone that thinks privacy can be had in the digital world is naive). So, bitcoin is essentially finite garbage.

The long game goal of the elite is still the same. The result of French election does not change that. However, what this result changes is our micro analysis of anticipated steps that elites might take towards this goal. Nothing dramatically happened in Italy (referendum), The Netherlands (elections), France (elections) and most probably will also not in Germany (autumn elections). Since there were no significant terror false flag attacks before French elections (as predicted by Brandon) it means that the desired outcome for the elite was clearly Marcon.
It means that elites have no plan of dismantling EU or create chaos in EU (at least for the moment). It looks more like they are strengthening and consolidating EU.
In EU, you do not need chaos for people to welcome centralization, one currency, one government, etc. A mere fear of chaos is enough for Europeans to vote for stronger EU. They are already mentally enslaved, they will even vote for more enslavement, so not much more is needed to pull them into the NWO direction. Most of them are very happy with no borders, one currency, one government, digital money,… and do not want to lose that.
So, most probably the elite will worldwide use a mixture of pull-push tactics. In some countries, where the resistance is stronger (USA?) they might use the push method and create chaos. In EU, where people are actually welcoming digital money, centralization and governmental control, they will use pull method and exploit a mere fear of chaos.
What about Brexit? It was:
1.A warning shot for all other EU nations (“no, we really do not want that to happen here…”
2.It was a scam. https://www.henrymakow.com/2016/06/brexit-what-is-the-globalist-game.html
It was probably allowed so that Britain would be out the much stricter EU tax system.
Overall, the steps that the elite will follow to get to the goal might not be exactly chaos everywhere, because some people (mostly Europeans) are already very eager to embrace even stronger centralization.
written by antiflamby , May 10, 2017
Hello Brandon,
I am a french reader of your site. Sorry for bad english. I just want to explain why your prediction has not happened. The reason is simple. In USA or UK, the economic situation has became a true nightmare for a lot of people since 2008. Here in France the situation is quite different. We have a huge welfare state, redistributions, and so on. The french state has a lot of useless functionnary to buy social peace. France has not experienced yet (massively) the effects of the economic crisis. It only begins here.
I read some news, for exemple on zero-hedge site. They say that a lot a american people don't have 400$ available, or millions of them are surviving with food stamps. I am living in France, and believe me, there not such a situation here. Not yet. Here people are still very gentrified. End of euro/EU, protectionnism, they see that as terrifying ideas. They think with their bank account, and follow their interest. It's just that. That's why marine le pen has no chance to win this time.
I think you're right on some of your predictions. They don't want a rotshild men (macron) to assume the responsability of the next crisis. But they don't have choice. Maybe they will accuse trump and present macron as a saver of the world. I don't know if there is such a plan. If you are interested by france, now look at mélenchon (leftist). I think they will install him in the role of first opponent (controlled opposition). I ask myself if it is possible that they will cancel the next french presidential elections (in 2022). Maybe it was the last. Marcon was elected with not any fervor, against so called "fascist threat" (le pen). Obviously the true fascist seems to be macron, who promised to govern with "ordonances" (without the agreement of parliament, because he has no majority).
Even if Le Pen won the election, the result would have be the same as Trump. we cannot change anything with election. The true power is independant from the president and above him. Actually, french people deserve the sufferings the vote for. And I hope that for once in history, a rotshild men will be held responsible of the chaos. That would be great.
written by Brandon Smith , May 10, 2017
@Tiger
Italy is still a brewing time bomb. I think you are speaking too soon on that issue. The elections haven't even taken place yet and their banking crisis has not gone away.
The German elections are also too far out to comment on at this time.
There were multiple terrorist attacks in the EU leading up to the French election, as I predicted. They just weren't enough to drive the French toward Le Pen.
Chaos is not always about immediate centralization. It is also not necessarily about the specific place it occurs. For example, the underlying debt crisis in China will hurt the US markets and economy far more than Chinese economy. The same goes for the EU.
Too many people are jumping to the conlcusion that the elites don't want instability in the EU just because of ONE French election. In reality, Macron's election may lead to MORE chaos than if Le Pen had been placed. Keep in mind, the digital file dump on Macron only happened around 24 hours before the election. This may change his dynamic quite a bit if something criminal is discovered.
I agree that engineered chaos is not always their game plan. However, with the amount of interdependency within the global system, chaos is what will inevitably occur in most places, including Europe.
Do not put too much stock in one election. As stated earlier, the trend remains EXACTLY the same. When I see Italy come out of their poisoned position unscathed, then perhaps I will agree with you that the main body of Europe is being sheltered.
written by Brandon Smith , May 10, 2017
@antiflamby
As stated above, I don't think Macron is immune to the chaos button. Macron, may very well be a chaos button if he has criminal dealings which are exposed (within the latest digital data dump, for example). The only thing that has changed is that in the case of France, the elites are not looking for a scapegoat as they were in Britain and the US.
written by antiflamby , May 10, 2017
There is a misunderstanding, i completely agree with you on this point. Macron will have to face chaos.
But I don't believe medias or manipulation have so much power to influence the results. Just look at Fillon (right wing). They dumped tons of garbage on him for almost two months. Before that, he was at 25% in polls. Finally, he made a nice score (20%). Maybe it's an plan, or maybe they just don't have such a power on people minds (even if they have sucessed to put Fillon out of the second round).
Consider that people only believe what they want to believe.
I still think (as you said somewhere) that le pen was a better chaos button than macron. They can have an awesome plan but finally history will remember that crisis has coincided with the the seizure of power by a rotshild banker. In France Macron is already hated and was elected despite great abstention. Despite their great power, globalist can't manage a perfect clean game, and that's a little sign of hope.
written by Aquarian , May 10, 2017
Just a thought I had the other night while watching his victory speech. He came out late, appeared agitated and his speech seemed poorly written. It's near impossible for us to know what game's are being played in the shadows but I got the impression Macron just found himself in a position he hadn't been prepared for.
Having said that he has every reason to be perturbed. He's in for one hell of a rough ride in the years ahead.
written by Tiger , May 10, 2017
By what we have seen so far, Italian banks will be bailed-in, bailed out, and rescued by EU. In January there was huge talk about Deutsche Bank derivative bomb, but nothing happened. Likewise, it seems that nothing significant will happen to Italian banks. EU will use the same screenplay as in Greece or Cyprus, and everyone will live happily forever... Even austerity, or robbing 10% of bank deposits will not convince people that the system is bad.
