We always have a hard time with things like bank stress tests and demands that banks hold "extra capital." The Wall Street Journal (see excerpt above) is out with a "sourced" story that the Fed will demand large banks hold more capital. But what exactly does th ...

The Economist "newspaper" has finally caught up to the Daily Bell. Well ... not really. This is an interesting article that The Economist has just launched (and thanks to feedbacker Thomas Molitor for bringing it to our attention). But the point of the article, ...
December 19, 2011
This is a stunning statistic, in our view. According to a study generated via numbers collected by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics and reported in USA Today (see above excerpt) one out of every three people in the US will face arrest by the time they are 23. ...
December 16, 2011
Right on schedule, the International Monetary Fund's Christine Lagarde has emerged to call for a united, Western effort to salvage the Eurozone and perhaps the euro. This is entirely predictable in our view and has to do with the larger strategy of the Anglosph ...
December 16, 2011
If one examines the rush of events surrounding the unraveling of the European Union, it becomes more and more difficult to believe it is merely a series of coincidences. We've covered this in other articles, but what's going on continues to affirm our belief th ...
December 15, 2011
The secretive Bank for Settlements has just warned that Asia is vulnerable to a catastrophic "global credit crunch," according to the Sidney Morning Herald (see above). We translate it thusly: The world is HEADING for an Asian financial crisis. Yes, increasingl ...
December 15, 2011
Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, one of the very best mainstream financial journos, is back with another update on the Chinese economic collapse, and we appreciate his updates. We've been harping on this theme for at least two years. Just Google "Daily Bell" and "China ...
December 14, 2011
Kenneth Rogoff is the International Monetary Fund's former chief economist, and he and co-author Carmen Reinhart are somewhat dubious about capitalism's future. But this is, in fact, a dominant social theme of the larger Anglosphere power elite for whom Rogoff ...
December 14, 2011
The United Nations is evidently on its way to becoming a fearsome enforcer of global judicial authority. As we can see from the above article, when the International Criminal Court faces a blockage, it now approaches the UN for enforcement of its demands. The U ...
December 13, 2011
We're not sure who Eric deCarbonnel is, but he has posted five YouTube videos that contain extraordinary allegations about the US Government's Exchange Stabilization Fund. In aggregate, the series is called, "What I have been afraid to blog about: THE ESF AND I ...
December 12, 2011
We've already indicated that we believe the Anglosphere power elite is attempting to create a kind of Great Depression in order to ease the path of world government. This squib of an article in MarketWatch (excerpted above) – unnoticed by most of the mainstre ...
December 12, 2011
In today's lead article we tried to point out once more (as before) that this global central banking order we have is not to the world's benefit. What we call the Internet Reformation has made it more and more difficult for the powers-that-be to promote their f ...
December 09, 2011
In a feedback to a Financial Times article entitled "Eurozone Signs Up to Closer Ties," writer Danny Barrs makes the point that the FT, a high-profile elite mouthpiece, is "spinning" decisions made at yesterday's EU summit by rewriting its headlines. He points ...
December 09, 2011
Here is a strong statement: The further fracturing of the EU is a setback for what we call the Anglosphere power elite, those powerful families that control central banking around the world and are trying as hard as they can to create global government. Here's ...
December 08, 2011
We've heard that Germany is running the EU – or maybe that the Union sprang up like a weed, unkempt and unintended. We have never believed it. The EU, from what we can tell, is a cold-blooded invention of the Anglosphere power elite that intends to use it as ...
December 08, 2011
As dedicated analysts of elite dominant social themes, we've been following the recent protests that started on Wall Street and have now spread around the world. We have long since come to the conclusion they have been fomented in support of a larger elite domi ...
December 08, 2011
The universe is electrical. It is not gravitational. A child could probably see this, if he or she knew where to look. All the vast nebulae and the other patterns in the universe mimic electrical patterns. The nebulae itself is an electrical pattern found throu ...
December 07, 2011
What an editorial at Huffington Post by Lynn Forester de Rothschild! In it, she makes the point that "some revelation is at hand" – and mostly likely it has to do with the reality of a genuine third-party challenge to put a candidate in the White House. A clo ...
December 07, 2011
Today is Pearl Harbor Day, the day that will "live in infamy." From our humble point of view, the mainstream narrative of Pearl Harbor Day is nothing more than an elite dominant social theme – the dastardly "Nips" attacked a peace-loving giant, and 'lo the ti ...
December 07, 2011
Another subdominant social theme? It's always the same. The Anglosphere power elite buys up all the oil, water and farmland in the world and we are told it is the evolution of the free-market economy. Sure ... And now ... guns. Not George Soros, mind you. The N ...
December 06, 2011
The SEC is getting ready to crack down on US investment firms. This is surely a kind of sub-dominant social theme of the elite – that more enforcement from Washington, DC is going to help those in danger of being damaged by crooked brokers and advisors. These ...
December 06, 2011
We have been commenting on the growing wave of "law and order" in the United States. And this letter to the editor, excerpted above, is surely another sign of it. There is so much ruin in the country (and the West) now that the powers-that-be are likely growing ...
December 05, 2011
Here's an idea. Let's take down Wall Street. The wars aren't working very well. Too many fingers are being pointed at government and people are plain angry. Better blame Wall Street! Or failing that, the "one percent." We've spent a great deal of time pointing ...
December 05, 2011
We can tell the powers-that-be are still skittish about how the US Federal Reserve is being regarded, increasingly, by the American public because there is suddenly a lot of talk about "fairness." Why this should be is somewhat puzzling, of course. It is just l ...
December 02, 2011
Thanks goodness the Chinese have decided that insider trading is a crime. This sub dominant social theme – that investment information is dangerous and hurtful to other people – is a growing promotion within the ranks of securities professionals. But what's ...
December 01, 2011
What could make the US Senate pass a law turning ALL Americans into potential suspects? Fear. Fear "they're" being found out. The controllers. The ones who dominated the world so seamlessly in the 20th century, and who've been found out now. That's what the NDA ...
November 30, 2011
Here come the Pecora Hearings. The powers-that-be are efficiently and cold-bloodedly preparing the guillotine for Wall Street. Good! This is the reaction of the hitherto libertarian alternative media. Say what? Yup ... With the possible exception of Lew Rockwel ...
November 30, 2011
All is going according to plan, so far as we are concerned. The powers-that-be are orchestrating a virtual orgy of anger against the securities industry and people are so angry with top honchos like Hank Paulson (of TARP fame) and Lloyd Blankfein (Goldman Sachs ...
November 30, 2011
This is, of course, the Anglosphere power elite's fundamental dominant social theme. Our Money Power is good and we use it wisely and well on YOUR behalf. The "system" cannot be allowed to falter or fail. Not an inch of it. Of course, we ask, "Whose system is i ...
November 30, 2011
A new one on us. We hate made-up words because the English language has lots of words to choose from. But the powers-that-be will continue to make up new ones in the hopes that the novelty will disguise the authoritarianism lurking behind. It's always the same ...
November 29, 2011
Is the US gearing up for another "Pecora Hearing"? These hearings that began in 1932 in New York and Washington, DC gave us the current nonsensical regulatory regime that the US suffers from (and has exported to the wide world). Here at the Daily Bell, some of ...
November 29, 2011
Everything Wall Street does is illegal. This decision by Judge Rakoff is being heralded as a breakthrough in "cleaning up Wall Street." But Wall Street cannot be cleaned up. Regulations cannot clean up Wall Street. Laws cannot clean up Wall Street. Judges canno ...
November 28, 2011
This remarkable squib of an article appeared in the Daily Mail on Sunday and at first we didn't believe what we were reading. It is a full-out "rich versus poor" article, the kind that might have been produced by a "Cold War" Politburo (were it to exist today i ...
November 28, 2011
Bill Still is one of those people you don't always hear about who's had a tremendous impact on the larger libertarian conversation taking place in the US and, in fact, throughout the West. Now he's running for the US presidency.
Will he win? Probably not. ...
November 28, 2011
Dr. Bosworth has written a remarkable article about the Defense Authorization bill now wending its way through the US Congress (see above). He makes it very clear that he thinks this legislation is the formal forerunner to a kind of US police state, though we t ...
November 25, 2011
One of the main emergent US dominant social themes is that the government and regulators must step in to clean up the market and make it safe for investors. The idea is that the larger modern marketplace is very necessary for the functioning of modern society a ...
November 25, 2011
J. Edgar helped create the current US penitentiary state because he had an unhappy childhood and lived a secret sexual life as an adult. Because of this, the Federal Bureau of Investigation came into being and was aggressively expanded. Because Hoover was "in t ...
November 24, 2011
For years, we've been trying to explain that the Internet is not going to be easy to remove or tame. Those enablers and associates of the Anglosphere power elite can try to shut it down but there seems to be a kind of hive mind at work that won't quickly allow ...
November 24, 2011
Stewart Rhodes appeared recently on the Alex Jones Infowars channel to explain the growing resistance to unconstitutional Fedgov activities. In the process, he pointed out that the modern-day "printing press" – the Internet – is providing people with inform ...
November 23, 2011
It is not enough that the US Federal government is in cahoots with other countries to foist phony global warming policies on its long-suffering citizens. It has also set aside (according to Fox, see above) some $61 billion in assets in a secret government bank. ...
November 22, 2011
Again, the mission creep. It's no coincidence. The Anglosphere power elite regards every (self-created) disaster as an opportunity to extend its nascent world government.
It's a kind of dominant social theme. The standing global economic armament has to ge ...
November 21, 2011
In our wanderings around the Blogosphere (and 'Net-iverse), it's become clearer and clearer to us that we live in a kind of matrix beyond our immediate control or perception. All we can do, like blind men, is continue to do our best to make out the shape of the ...
November 18, 2011
We don't believe this. Do you? This is part of the larger directed history that we've been reporting, in our view. Suddenly the US numbers are showing an uptick. Really?
Nope. It's just part of a larger narrative. The idea is apparently to re-elect Barack ...
November 17, 2011
Hey, talk about irony. We'll get to that in one minute. We have to "set it up" first. Here we go ...
Rense used to pick up some of our articles on occasion, but we figured that would stop once we started writing how people shouldn't refer to "Zionists" and ...
November 16, 2011
The Guardian is schizophrenic on the issue of technocracy. They've run at least one article deriding the swelling technocratic priesthood and another one (see above excerpt) that supports it.
To us, this talk of technocracy is an old, familiar dominant soc ...
November 16, 2011
Naked Capitalism just picked up an article attacking DB as a "parody" of Austrian finance, so we thought we'd do a bit of research to find out why it posted the story. You can see our initial response here: Attorney Responds to the Daily Bell.
The founder ...
November 15, 2011
This is a fairly obvious dominant social theme: President Barack Obama has the economy starting to hum just before election time. We would offer the perspective that this is yet more "directed history." The idea is to gradually build up the "successes" of the a ...
November 15, 2011
This is a dominant social theme we don't often mention (see above). It has to do with the attractiveness of US culture for young people around the world. This has been one of the power elite's most successful promotions. The TV programs and Hollywood movies mak ...
November 15, 2011
Mr. William Black has responded to an article of ours with one of his own, entitled "Best Satire of Faux Austrian Economics Ever." It touches on numerous dominant social themes of the power elite, which is what we regularly analyze.
Overall Reaction: We we ...
November 15, 2011
Over at the Economic Policy Journal, we find an interesting article, "The Economists of 'Occupy Wall Street'," that shows us once again that the Occupy Wall Street movement has a specific left-wing agenda. It is actually part of a larger dominant social theme, ...
