BRANDON SMITH argues that engineered financial downturn is imminent and conservatives will take the fall:

The con game is to get liberty advocates to invest themselves fully in Trump, to the point that we end up owning every mistake he makes, and every disaster that is pinned on him. There is a concerted propaganda campaign targeting the liberty movement which is telling us that Trump is playing “4D Chess;” that Trump is planning a “coup” against the banking elites, that Trump is planning to bring down the Fed as a means to save the U.S., and even that Trump is working with Jerome Powell to crash the globalist system as a means to “restore the Republic.”

While Trump throws a bone to conservatives at times, including promises of a border wall, or a pull-out in Syria, there is no evidence to support the fantasy that Trump is some kind of ingenious tactician battling the the forces of evil using his wits while inside the system. But, there is considerable evidence as I have linked above supporting my position that Trump is controlled opposition working with the globalists to initiate a collapse that will be blamed on conservative ideals and limited government liberty activists. We shall see in due course. It is unfortunate though how many otherwise very intelligent people within the liberty movement have bought into Trump as a hero on a white horse.

The activists and alternative media are the real heroes. They are the people that pushed liberty philosophy into the mainstream. Trump merely rode the wave that they created. Even if he was a legitimate conservative and constitutionalist (which he is not), the movement doesn’t need his leadership. It never did. The globalists know this and hope to chain us to Trump as he sinks into historical oblivion, destroying us all in the process.

What is the “liberty movement?”

I guess he’s referring to those against globalism, but he seems also to be a libertarian.

Liberty as an absolute is not the foundation of a healthy society. But he makes some important points.

The above article was interesting. I can’t help but think that such reports can lead to excessive anxiety. It should lead to greater trust in Our Blessed Mother and greater joy. In one of his books, Father Michael Muller wrote about a Catholic family that starved to death rather than give up the Faith during the famine years in Ireland. Could we be called to such a fate? Undoubtedly, Catholics will be invited to it during the upcoming reign of Antichrist and its prelude. Should we suffer anxiety about such a calling? Not at all. We are children of Mary and siblings of Jesus Christ. If Our Heavenly Mother asked such a sacrifice from us, it would be for our salvation and the conversion of untold numbers of souls. It would be silly to deny that such suffering would be terrible, but She and Her Son would be with us. We would also be going to meet them sooner. Beyond keeping our souls in order at all times and absolute trust in Our Lady’s Providence, I don’t believe that much can be practically done to stave off the worst predictions in these articles.

I originally mentioned “economic collapse” in my sentence above his excerpt. I changed it to “financial downturn.” That seems to be closer to what Smith is discussing.

We shouldn’t exaggerate or become obsessed with these possibilities, but it is not wrong to make reasonable predictions. You probably wouldn’t tell a doctor who gave you a bad diagnosis that because you are a Catholic you don’t want to hear about it. If this is a realistic scenario, it’s important to be prepared for it mentally and spiritually, but I don’t advocate panic.

The most important point Smith is making, I think, is that Trump is not helping, and people must not place hope in him. Misplaced hope often prevents effective, organized action. The Catholic Church stands for a decentralized economy, not the globalist leviathan. As Catholics we can be very involved in alternative economics which favor the family, small business, farms and small government. Those are Catholic objectives. But none of these objectives are any replacement for the well-ordered spiritual life. They actually flow from it. So you are right about what should be our top priorities.
