Matt Bracken discusses the American Empire’s looming COLLAPSE – NaturalNews.com

• Mike Adams and Matt Bracken discussed the standoff between Texas and the federal government over immigration, framing it as constitutional neglect. Bracken cited the “Guarantee Clause” (Article 4, Section 4), arguing federal inaction justifies Texas’ right to self-defense or even secession.
• Bracken warned of impending U.S. collapse due to economic instability (unsustainable debt, potential financial meltdown), military obsolescence (e.g., vulnerable aircraft carriers) and strategic disadvantages against rivals like Russia and China (e.g., Arctic trade routes).
• Both criticized the profit-driven defense industry, highlighting impractical systems (Zumwalt destroyer, F-35) and contrasting Russia’s cost-effective, dual-purpose industrial model.
• Despite dire predictions, Bracken expressed optimism about Texas leading post-collapse recovery, potentially with a new economic system based on precious metals. Adams echoed this, emphasizing Texas’ resilience.
• The interview urged preparedness – educating oneself, supporting local initiatives and exploring alternative economies. Adams stressed the role of free speech and independent media in navigating crises.

The Health Ranger Mike Adams sat down with author and author and geopolitical analyst Matt Bracken to discuss the potential collapse of the American empire.

Their conversation touched on topics ranging from the crisis at the southern border to the obsolescence of the U.S. military and the impending financial turmoil. Adams began by highlighting the ongoing standoff between Texas and the federal government over immigration. He emphasized the growing discontent among Americans who are increasingly frustrated with the federal government’s corruption, criminality and unconstitutional actions.

Bracken concurred, drawing on his extensive background as a former Navy SEAL and prolific author. He said the situation in Texas is emblematic of a broader trend of federal overreach and state defiance. The federal government’s failure to secure the border is not just a legal issue but a constitutional one, he added.

He referenced the Guarantee Clause (Article 4, Section 4) of the Constitution, which obligates the federal government to protect states from invasion. According to Bracken, Texas has a legitimate argument. The federal government’s inaction has broken the compact with the state, potentially giving Texas the right to self-defense and even secession.

The conversation quickly shifted to the broader implications of the current crisis. Bracken warned that the U.S. is on the brink of a collapse that goes beyond the border issue. He attributed this impending collapse to a combination of factors, including:

• Economic instability: Bracken highlighted the unsustainable nature of the global just-in-time economy and the potential for a catastrophic financial meltdown. The current debt cycle is nearing its end and, historically, such situations have often led to wars as a means for bankers to escape accountability.
• Military obsolescence: The U.S. military, while still formidable, is increasingly outdated. He cited the ineffectiveness of aircraft carriers in modern warfare, comparing them to the obsolete Dreadnought battleships of the early 20th century. The recent Houthi attacks on U.S. ships in the Red Sea, he noted, demonstrate the limitations of American military power.
• Technological and strategic challenges: Bracken emphasized the rapid advancements in technology and the strategic advantages of countries like Russia and China. He mentioned Russia’s development of nuclear icebreakers and the potential for a new trade route across the Arctic, which could further isolate the United States.

The military industrial complex and Texas’ role after the collapse

Adams and Bracken also discussed the influence of the military-industrial complex on U.S. policy. Bracken criticized the profit-driven nature of the defense industry, arguing that it prioritizes financial gain over national security. He pointed to the development of expensive and impractical weapons systems, such as the Zumwalt destroyer and the F-35 fighter jet, as evidence of this misplaced focus.

“The military industrial complex is a profit-making thing,” he told Adams. “It’s about selling the program to make money.”

Bracken contrasted this with the approach of countries like Russia, which prioritize practical and cost-effective solutions. He highlighted the Russian practice of dual-purpose industries, where factories can quickly shift from civilian to military production, as a more efficient model.

Despite the grim outlook, Bracken expressed optimism about the resilience of the American spirit, particularly in states like Texas. He envisioned a future where Texas, along with Louisiana, could lead a recovery effort after a collapse. Bracken hinted at the themes of his upcoming book, which explores the post-collapse world and the potential for a new economic system based on precious metals.

Adams, a proud Texan, echoed Bracken’s sentiments – emphasizing the importance of rebuilding the spirit of America in the Lone Star State. He expressed his commitment to contributing to the state’s future, whether it becomes an independent republic or remains part of the United States.

The interview concluded with a call to action for Americans to prepare for the challenges ahead. Bracken urged citizens to educate themselves, support local initiatives and consider alternative economic models. In a world teetering on the edge of chaos, the conversation between the two serves as both a warning and a guide for those seeking to understand the complexities of the current geopolitical landscape and the potential paths forward.
