I have to hand out sincere kudos to Tucker Carlson. His opening salvo for 2019 was one for the ages. It was a broad-ranging, fifteen-minute rhetorical tour de force.
Tying together Mitt Romney?s vulture capitalism, unchecked immigration, political corruption and the destruction of the middle class family, Carlson laid out a story that if everyone took off their ideological blinders for a few minutes (myself included) would see as simply a horror show.
Carlson?s thesis is that the American family is disintegrating. He?s right. But it?s not just America. It?s everywhere globalism has been the watchword of public policy, ie. Europe as well.
The Yellow Vests in France began protesting over a rise in diesel fuel tax to support climate change initiatives and has morphed into a full-blown revolt against globalism, neoliberalism and French government institutions.
It is the next stage of the dreaded populist uprising of Hillary Clinton?s ?deplorables.? And it?s jumped borders. This is the kind of color revolution I can support, not the fake ones ginned up by oligarchs like George Soros.
But what I found interesting was how Carlson was tying together all of the strands of public policy decisions which has created this web of perverse incentives we live under.
In short, globalism has gentrified the cities and impoverished the countryside. Rural job prospects are gone in many areas, not just in the U.S. but also in France and Italy and Greece, etc.
But, at the same time the cost of living through excessive financialization of the economy in the cities has reached a point where middle class workers live like ants to survive the crushing expenses.
This is what the Yellow Vests are protesting about in France ?and now Canada, Taiwan, Belgium and even for a brief moment, the U.K.
The only ones #winning in this environment are the ones who print, direct and disseminate the money ? the Mitt Romneys, the Jamie Dimons and the Nancy Pelosis.
And if you notice any time someone proposes something rational about changing this dynamic they are denounced as ?reactionary? or ?threatened? or, in the worst case, ?populist.?This, to me, signals that this dynamic, this process, hasn?t been an accidental confluence of factors. That its not the unfortunate consequence of garden variety corruption of our political system but something far more sinister.
It was designed policy.Which brings me back to Tucker Carlson. As a follow up to his first rant Carlson went off of Rick Wilson, a picture of vile punditry if there ever was one.
https://youtu.be/lrcejNDdcaQThis is the next stage of the attack on rural America.
First it was destroy their ability to live a stable life, raise children and pass wealth down through the generations.Then it was
import the worst people from the rest of the world, zip code targeting immigrants to flip certain states to destroy potential revolt through the ballot box.And now we?re into the vilification stage, the dehumanization stage.This is the foundation our leaders always lay before going to war with someone.In the past it?s always been some group of evil brown people across the ocean.
Today it?s the deplorable, ten-toothed white people who are too stupid to recognize why they need to be exterminated....
So, that when the inevitable collapse of this system occurs it will be blamed first on Trump accompanied by the insufferable cries of ?I told you so? and then on Trump voters.
Make no mistake, this was policy. This was the point of the long march through the institutions. And the collapse that is coming, that everyone on Wall St. and K Street are preparing for, needs a scapegoat....
Because if we start talking to each other again versus at each other we may just figure out who was behind all this in the first place.

In my last article, 'The Fed Is A Suicide Bomber With A Deeper Agenda', I explored and dismantled recent propaganda surrounding the Federal Reserve's tightening actions, including the propaganda that Jerome Powell is some kind of rogue central banker who is rebalancing the system for the good of the nation. To summarize the points made in that article:
The Fed deliberately created the "Everything Bubble" so that it could be deliberately imploded at the proper time - in other words, the crash we have been witnessing so far during the final quarter of 2018 and continuing into 2019 is a controlled demolition of the economy. Jerome Powell is not some "rebel" going against the easy money dictates of the Fed. Jerome Powell is playing the role that has been given to him. Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen's job was to inflate the bubble.
Jerome Powell's job is to crash the bubble. This is a tactic used by the Fed and the globalists that run it for over 100 years - conjure a debt bubble, deflate the debt bubble, cause a crisis, siphon up hard assets for pennies on the dollar, use the panic to gain more power and centralization, introduce new control measures while everyone is distracted, rinse, repeat. This process of controlled
demolition needs a considerable distraction so that the central banks and the globalists ultimately avoid blame for the painful consequences of the event.
Enter Donald Trump and the false Trump vs. Globalist paradigm. As I mentioned last week
, the Fed is only one side of the equation for the crash; Trump is the other side....
In terms of social control, elitist con men are highly preoccupied with preventing spontaneous organization of rebellion. But this does not always involve the outright crushing of dissent. Instead,
the elites prefer to use co-option and misdirection (con games) to lure rebellious movements to focus on the wrong enemy, or to trust the wrong leadership.I am often reminded of the infiltration of the Tea Party movement by neo-conservatives in the years after the 2008 election. Neo-con-men exploited the desire among Tea Party activists for mainstream legitimacy and more widespread media coverage. They gave the activists what they wanted, by injecting their own political puppets into the movement. It did not take long for the Tea Party to abandon its initial roots in individual sovereignty and the Ron Paul campaign and adopt a decidedly statist tone. The smart people left the movement early and went on to launch their own efforts, but
the goal of the establishment had been accomplished ? the grass roots organized threat of the Tea Party was no more.That said, the principles of conservative economics, small government and personal liberty remain entrenched in the American psyche and continue to grow. These ideals have a life of their own, and almost seem to act autonomously at times from any particular group or leader.
The single most important dynamo behind the rise of sovereignty activism has actually been the liberty media, or what some might call the ?alternative media.? This group of people has been working tirelessly for years to inform the masses on the
REAL news and data behind global events. Over time we have earned the trust of millions based on honest reporting and accurate predictions. It was only a matter of time before the establishment attempted to co-opt us as well?
The downfall of the Tea Party was a lack of cohesive leadership. There was no one there to put a stop to the neo-con infiltration. There was no one in a strong enough position to vet incoming influencers and prevent poison pills from entering the bloodstream of the movement. The problem with leadership, though, is that it denotes centralization and a bottlenecking of decisions and action. It?s quite a quandary for advocates of decentralization.
The most effective method for the establishment to sabotage a rebellion is to place one of their own puppets into a leadership position in that rebellion. This exploits the movement?s subconscious appetite for top down leadership. It neutralizes activists by tricking them into waiting for orders from on high instead of acting on their own individually. It makes a movement lazy and impotent.
