Editor's Comment: Taking Brandon's point into account, what is happening now appears to be a mass hoax in that crowds from the "liberty" movement, the "truth" movement, the "conservative" movement, the "populist" movement and several other labels are being goaded into supporting an overreaching executive branch, a fresh rally for war in the middle east, and a brutal police state crackdown at home – a crackdown that appears to be developing in the effort to deport many illegal immigrants, ban migrants from middle east countries and beat back protesting and rioting liberal crowds.

There are so many fronts to this game, that many people have lost their identity and completely abandoned their principles in effort to cheer on 'their candidate,' whether that is Trump in the White House, Bernie or Hillary outside the White House or anyone else in between. As Brandon Smith has pointed out in many of his previous articles, there have been many short term gains against the globalists, and they can never true to defeat the liberty movement (in particular) if-and-only-if liberty-minded individuals maintain their principles – of freedom as an ideal, of protection for the Bill of Rights, of economic freedom for individuals and small businesses, etc.
