What on earth is Ms. Hillary Clinton doing? The CIA and state-department initiated AYM youth rebellions have already achieved success in such countries as Egypt and Tunisia. Libya and Syria are on their way. But this is not enough for the US State department. ( ...
June 15, 2011
We've been waiting for something like this (see above). Critics are starting to engage with China in earnest and this is just one more sign of it. The Chinese stock market itself is an opaque mess and there is no reason to believe that Chinese "private" compani ...
June 14, 2011
Just yesterday we presented an article from Washington's Blog on US false-flag manipulations of the public. It was a bold summary of a dominant social theme that provided additional support for reports that have long appeared here. But we are somewhat disappoin ...
June 14, 2011
This is an interesting article appearing in the KabulPress (see excerpt above). KabulPress is a prominent Afghan website; while the motives of the author (a regular columnist apparently) may be controversial, we believe the article may represent a trend – a d ...
June 13, 2011
CIA Director Leon Panetta said in a recent hearing that the US may soon face a cyber-attack that would be the equivalent of Pearl Harbor. (See excerpt above.) Pearl Harbor was a huge (possibly false flag) event that convulsed the US and provided a pretext for t ...
June 13, 2011
The idea that government is good and wants to look out for YOU is a main staple of Western regulatory democracies, and increasingly democracies being imposed around the world. It is certainly a major dominant social theme of the power elite that rules the West ...
June 10, 2011
Business Insider's Jack H. Barnes, a former trader and hedge fund manager, has written an article entitled "3 Cross Currents in the Global Macro World." We thought we ought to examine it because we've mentioned these "cross currents" ourselves within the contex ...
June 10, 2011
Americans are war-weary but Leon Panetta (left) sees reasons to fight on. Al-Qaeda is still active and as long as al-Qaeda exists (see above article excerpt) America needs to fight. The struggle is taking place "Over There," so Americans do not have to fight al ...
June 09, 2011
We tend to go back and forth regarding the world's larger financial fix. We have arrived at the idea, eventually that the Anglo-American power elite responsible for the mess wants to push Western citizens as far as possible without setting up full-scale revolut ...
June 09, 2011
The Anglo-American elite in our view is increasingly desperate over Afghanistan. It is losing the war against the stiff-necked Taliban for the second or third time in the past 100 years and along with the loss, so far as we can tell, go plans, hopes and dreams ...
June 08, 2011
Our elves are simpler than this (perhaps because of their pointy heads). When there is too much of something (currency included) its value tends to lessen in our view. Because of the business cycle, the value of a specific currency may actually seem to rise at ...
June 08, 2011
We are of two minds about this article. It is very well done and represents a substantial strand of thought that we share; what we do not share, however, are its conclusions. The idea – and we have written about this before – is that the Anglo-American powe ...
June 07, 2011
This is a classic mainstream "meme," a purposeful celebration of European centralization from the CNBC Europe Reporter Silvia Wadhwa. But from our point of view, it's actually a bit strange that Ms. Wadhwa is allowed such unfettered access to speak her mind, gi ...
June 07, 2011
In any event, we believe she gets much of it wrong. From what we can tell, libertarian Congressman Ron Paul of Texas may be the man to beat. And he may well be Barack Obama if he gets that far. The electorate is far more in tune with his criticisms of his count ...
June 06, 2011
Government corruption offers people the opportunity to avoid the worst excesses of regulatory overkill and excessive taxation. The idea of a large, transparent, efficient WORLD government would combine all the worst features of current national and regional sys ...
June 06, 2011
We have speculated that these color revolutions, started apparently with Western support, may spin out of control and damage Western allies and even affect Saudi-Arabia support for the US dollar-reserve currency. But maybe Western, Anglo-American power elites a ...
June 03, 2011
Is the West's faux-civil society beginning to collapse, at least partially because of what we call the Internet Reformation? If so, much may change over the next years, including the idea of what constitutes a career – and even what constitutes modern civiliz ...
June 02, 2011
Robert Reich (left) has written a splendid article called "The battle for the soul of the GOP" (see article excerpt above). He writes that the battle is between the GOP old guard and Tea Party types. Guess which side the diminutive socialist/left wing powerhous ...
June 02, 2011
We've written about Ratko Mladic and the International Criminal Court (ICC) before but this article (excerpt above) is a dead-on power meme when it comes to what is known, laughingly as "international justice." We couldn't pass it up. We want to state up front ...
June 01, 2011
In building regulatory democracies, what Money Power has done in fact is drain authenticity from the West. If one wants to be a teacher, one must usually work in public schools with all the corruption and chaos that government brings to the process. If one want ...
June 01, 2011
Yemen's destabilization, as we wrote previously, can lead to problems with shipping of oil through the narrow reaches of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden and thus much higher prices. It could also lead to the destabilization of Saudi Arabia (as it sits directly bel ...
May 31, 2011
Roger Bootle, managing director of Capital Economics and economic adviser to Deloitte, is out with another article critical of the EU and the euro. The article itself is not part of a mainstream dominant social theme. In fact, it is important for the elite to k ...
May 31, 2011
Here at DB, we don't know what happened on the morning of 9/11. We don't know if rogue elements of the US government (or MI6 or Mossad, or all of them) are planning a false flag nuclear event at the behest of an Anglo-American elite that is increasingly despera ...
May 30, 2011
Times are changing substantially, as are the attitudes of developing countries. The control that Western elites expected to exercise over these institutions is coming increasingly into question. Ironically, if the West does give up control and allow these insti ...
May 30, 2011
Hey, are we right on schedule? Even Queen Elizabeth is worried. Say, about time! It's only taken 2,000 years if we are correct in our reading of history - as the British empire is at least a remnant of the Roman Empire (later the "Holy Roman Empire"), though so ...
May 27, 2011
As usual with power elite memes, time makes meanings clearer. We have speculated that the CIA-sponsored youth movements in such places as Tunisia and Egypt were precursors of Islamic governments, and that Anglo-American power elite actually sought such governme ...
May 27, 2011
We cannot help but recall the brave, self-flagellating Robert E. Lee. As punishment for his role as the South's leading General, the North built a graveyard on his estate and called it Arlington. Today, Lee would stand in the dock of the ICC to listen to a list ...
May 26, 2011
We can see from the above article excerpt that it is the ECB mainly that is behind the European Union's "immoveable rigor" when it comes to enforcing austerity measures on Greece, and other EU PIGS as well. It is always this way with central banks. Their member ...
May 26, 2011
Anglo-American delays are leading to a crisis in Yemen. Jaw-jaw is rapidly giving way, internally to war-war. Meanwhile, the Anglo-American axis, with soft words and softer deeds has refused to bring the situation to a head. It is as if they wish to provoke the ...
May 25, 2011
The Tunisian and Egyptian "color revolutions" were evidently supported by Western intelligence agencies that provided funding and training over at least a 2-3 period to hand-picked youth leaders. What is not clear is to what extent the CIA and others intended t ...
May 25, 2011
The suspicion is that Ofcom is getting ready not just to fine Press TV but also to make a case that Press TV ought to be banned from Britain. Likely, this will be the beginning of an effort to ban Press TV in America and Europe-proper as well. It won't do to ha ...
May 24, 2011
Frank Furedi of the alternative web newspaper Spiked has written an insightful article on the breakdown of confidence among the EU's chattering classes. He has the idea that Eurocrats are so out of touch with average Europeans that they have run out of ideas of ...
May 24, 2011
The British-American relationship is deepening again, or so it is reported. According to the Herald (see above) President Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron will formally present to the press and public a new Service Personnel Joint Task Force when ...
May 23, 2011
In fact, an effective IMF is just about the last thing the world needs. Someone should hand Stiglitz a copy of Human Action by Ludwig von Mises. (On the other hand, he might melt into a puddle.) The reality is that INDIVIDUALS cause change within their own envi ...
May 23, 2011
Is a super-regional war, a kind of World War III, something the elites are currently working to induce? It would change everything. We recall after World War II that the Anglosphere elites were able to create a new economic system featuring a reserve dollar and ...
May 20, 2011
The twin pressures of anti-EU elections and anti-austerity protests may result eventually in one or more weak states leaving the EU. It will be then, as that occurs, that we shall find whether the EU can survive with a core group of healthier states or whether ...
May 20, 2011
The problem is that all the fine speeches in the world cannot disguise the West's neocolonialism anymore than all the resources and titles can disguise the ICC's illegitimacy or the real winner of the recent Ivory Coast elections. The idea is to send an intimid ...
May 19, 2011
HBO has adapted Andrew Ross Sorkin's book, Too Big to Fail and Timothy Geithner appeared at the initial screening and predicted the system will fall apart yet again. (Big news! The current system sucks!) This seems to come as a surprise to the Daily Beast, whic ...
May 19, 2011
It really is too bad. Ireland, with only five million Irish remaining in it, has been virtually eviscerated by the European Union and its globalist financial strategies. To tempt the Irish to join the EU, a good deal of money was spread around liberally; Irish ...
May 18, 2011
Newt Gingrich is a 20th century politician who apparently does not understand how much things may have changed. Ironically, the man who understands best what has occurred is the oldest politician in the field by far – Ron Paul, in his later 70s. Dr. Ron Paul, ...
May 18, 2011
In fact, armies that are winning wars don't negotiate, do they? This fact alone must put a different face on American claims that the Taliban is being defeated in the field by the American and NATO "surge" of forces in various Afghan military hotspots. No, it ...
May 17, 2011
These are high stakes indeed. Strauss-Kahn's time as head of the IMF was drawing to a close anyway, but much of his term seems to have been devoted to propping up the EU as it is. The economic crisis, far from drawing the EU together (as the Eurocrats hoped and ...
May 17, 2011
We have waited for several months to write this story because we do not like to get ahead of ourselves when analyzing what seem to be the increasingly-failing memes of the Anglosphere power elite. But it long ago occurred to us that when one deliberately remove ...
May 16, 2011
The mainstream media was in visible mourning yesterday with dominant and sub-dominant social themes pummeling the innocent Western world. Dominique Strauss-Kahn, whose predilection for forcible seduction was apparently an open secret, was removed from a plane o ...
May 16, 2011
We have no idea if this "Translation of Pakistani Video" (see above and below) is true or not. We present this alternative version because the real version is so unreal from our point of view. We are asked to believe that a man with Marfan Syndrome, kidneys tha ...
May 13, 2011
This is one of those articles where you have to check the date. The Greeks are rioting, the Eurocrats are panicking and meeting secretly in Greece, the bond markets are quaking, too, and Antonia Borges sounds ... well, happy. We thought perhaps this was an arti ...
May 13, 2011
The Economist magazine has finally reached the nadir of its unnecessary existence. In a column entitled "Economics/Free Exchange" the newspaper of the power elite actually suggests that "at a time when America is concerned about excess housing supply ... it is ...
May 12, 2011
What's wrong with anti-money laundering legislation? Plenty if one is oriented toward libertarianism and free-market thinking. Drug-laws and central banks are the two main tools that the Anglo-American power elite is using to control the flow of money around th ...
May 12, 2011
Yesterday, the Internet and alternative media generally lit up with reports of a Yemeni attack on protestors. Yemeni security forces were said to have fired on protestors for a number of hours, as can be seen from the BBC report above. The protestors want the i ...
May 11, 2011
This is a fairly remarkable article that uber-liberal New York Times media star Paul Krugman (left) has written. Imagine even a few years ago that an article by one of the Times' most prestigious analysts would frankly castigate America's ruling class and one b ...
