Reuters: Turn to Government for Successful Societies?
January 08, 2013

Now UN Blames Lord's Resistance Army for Elephant Poaching
January 08, 2013

A Flu Pandemic Will Inevitably Kill You

Jettison the Constitution?
January 03, 2013
Our trends for 2013 featured the advance of German-style National Socialism in the US, and this probably qualifies along those lines. The Times article unapologetically makes the argument for doing away with the US Constitution but what is to be substituted and ...
Vision of a Mutant Future
January 03, 2013
We stand in awe of yet another dominant social theme, which has to do with the inevitability of human engineering and eventual merger with machines. But please! ... This cannot be done by just anyone. People generally are not clamoring to be turned into quasi-r ...
Pimco's El-Erian: Divided US Government No Longer Good for Economy
January 02, 2013

Driving Under Attack: The 20mph Revolution

Fiscal Cliff … Whatta Meme!
December 31, 2012

NGOs Plot Wave of Criminal Referrals to Legitimize International Criminal Court
December 28, 2012
We don't usually pursue sourced stories because we analyze memes. But regular readers are well aware that a dominant social theme is not merely a hypothetical elite suggestion. Such themes can generate their own reality via something we call directed history. W ...
Tesla Motors … Another Elite Theme in Collapse?
December 28, 2012
John Shinal is back with a second article blasting Tesla, an advanced technology (green) auto company that makes both electric cars and power train components. Tesla trades on the Nasdaq under TSLA. As both a public company and a leading electric car manufactur ...
New Meme? Corporate and Banking Elite Have the Most to Lose from NWO
December 27, 2012
For us, as elite meme trackers, articles such as the one excerpted above are interesting to identify and analyze. You can almost see the proverbial wheels spinning as Tavistock pounds out one dominant social theme after another, hoping to confuse what the Inter ...
Washington Revs Up the Neo-Pecora Block?
December 27, 2012
Few write with more sincerity or skill in the alternative media than those who produce Washington's Blog, whoever they are. But we have some questions about this article, no matter its eloquence. The argument it advances seems to support what we call the Neo-Pe ...
Something Wicked Comes This Way
December 26, 2012

Newsweek Print Edition Folds
December 24, 2012
We end this year on a note of good news. Newsweek is no more ... at least as a print publication. Far more of a leveling device than TIME magazine, Newsweek was a secondary news channel for US Intel, from what we can tell. In fact, one could argue that Newsweek ...
Is Putin Freedom's Champion or Foil for the West?
December 21, 2012

UN Takes on Al Qaeda in Mali
December 21, 2012
The UN is being drawn into war. This "deployment of troops" in Africa will take place in Mali (see excerpt above) but probably expand, as the actual theatre occupies much of upper Africa, a region about the size of the lower United States. War and more war. The ...
Depleted Uranium Receives More Attention

Massive Psy-op? Obama Can Ban Guns By Himself – And He Will
December 20, 2012

Brits Rename Piece of Antarctica 'Queen Elizabeth Land'
December 20, 2012
Here's one that slipped under the radar of most of the alternative 'Net media. Part of Antarctica was just named for Queen Elizabeth (see above). The subdominant social theme here, as enunciated by the BBC and other outlets, could be that this is simply a furth ...
Does Berlusconi Matter to the EU?
December 19, 2012
We were told months ago that Silvio Berlusconi was going back into politics. He's easily the most important politico in Italy, so we weren't surprised. His presence has only become more important when measured against that of the technocrat, Mario Monti. And Mo ...
Why the Chinese Demand US Gun Control
December 19, 2012
The Chinese have weighed in ... Breitbart is reporting that the Chinese government is concerned about US gun violence (see above excerpt). This is notable because it tends to support certain dominant social themes we have noted before. We do believe that the Ch ...
Big Pharma: When Will Critical Mass Be Reached?
December 19, 2012

No More Questions to Ask About Sandy Hook Shooting?
December 18, 2012
There are questions to ask, just as there were at Columbine where hundreds of witnesses saw more than two young shooters and tried, to no avail, to testify about what they witnessed. The Columbine investigation was closed without addressing this point and many ...
The Bank For International Settlements: Beware a Crash
December 17, 2012
Here's another example of how elite dominant social themes work. Often, these fear-based promotions are reinforced by reality. In other words, if you want to explain to people that food-scarcity demands United Nations involvement in food production, you first a ...
The Horror of the Connecticut Shooting and the Tragedy of Unresolved Massacres
December 17, 2012
It is almost impossible to write about the horrible shooting in Sandy Hook because of the age of the little ones who were shot. One wants to weep looking at so many innocent faces of now-dead children. But what if the narrative is a false one? What if there is ...
Now Reuters Opinion-Maker Endorses National Socialist Economics
December 14, 2012
This excerpt from an opinion piece posted at Reuters entitled "Ethical economy: A tale of two half-centuries" was written by Edward Hades but it could have been written by any one of a number of people functioning within the power elite orbit. It is exactly wha ...
Shock: Onion Takes Aim at Official 9/11 Story
December 14, 2012

December 13, 2012

A Dishonest Article about US Army Suicides
December 13, 2012
The reason this article is dishonest is because of what it leaves out. The authors, both retired army generals, suggest that a big help to officers when it comes to mental health is the ability to find out if soldiers have guns at home – and then to address t ...
Two-Track Corporate Justice Is Not the American Way
December 12, 2012
The bottom line here is that the crooks are NOT caught. Bear in mind as a libertarian paper, we don't buy into any of these pseudo crimes. Money laundering, drug buying, regulatory transgressions... none of these have anything to do with natural law. They are a ...
Satirist of Drones Arrested by NYPD
December 12, 2012
There are two problems with the arrest of Essam Attia. The first is that the police apparently went out of their way to arrest him. Thus the NYPD is applying the law unequally.The second problem is that what Attia is doing is satire and is thus a legally protec ...
Power Elite Bans Classic Books in US, Seeks Exclusive Narrative
December 11, 2012
Fahrenheit 451 and other books about censorship got it wrong. The powers-that-be don't want to ban books, they want to ban STORIES. This is the inescapable conclusion for those of us who believe in directed history. Over the past decade of covering the world fo ...
Another Meme Sours? EU Peace Prize Generates Continued Debate
December 11, 2012

Kidnapped Doctor Rescue Was Probably Black Op After All
December 11, 2012

Great Examiner Article on Copyright, Buried Lede on Staffer's Firing
December 10, 2012
The lede of this article is a bit buried, in our humble view. Here's the real news: "The staffer who wrote the memo [see above], an ambitious 24-year-old named Derek Khanna, was fired – even before the RSC had decided on other staffing changes for the upcomin ...
CIA Takes Over Pentagon
December 10, 2012

Is It Peak Water Yet? Another Phony Meme
December 10, 2012
