All along we have been saying that the semantics and hype surrounding the debt ceiling debate would be for not and that "business as usual" would prevail. This celebratory piece, published by the NY Times on Sunday (excerpted above), is just the kind of propaga ...

We have been predicting in these humble pages that the current crises sweeping through the world's financial marts would be used to galvanize support for an even greater consolidation of globalist power. And now, here comes Christine Lagarde, speaking at the Co ...

Perhaps the debt ceiling should be renamed the "national debt target," for it seems Washington is always trying to reach it. One could say it's their only reliable, time-tested achievement. And without fail, upon reaching their national debt target, they prompt ...

The debate over the debt ceiling is anything but trivial for the poweres-that-be. Political pundits on both sides of the dialectic, along with their media confidants, would like us to believe that there is a real concern over the "acceptable level" of debt. Wel ...

The Internet Reformation is the culmination of the power and glory of Western civil society and free-market thinking. It is the apogee of all that is best in a sweep of history that began with the ancient Greeks and has culminated in the hearts and minds of mil ...

After sustained profligacy comes the dreaded cold turkey. Any kind of habitual indulgence can only be stopped if at some point the "addict" says "no" with no excuses. I would assume most people have been through this. I know a few personally. They have kept up ...

The horror of Anders Breivik's actions cannot be explained away. To shoot 70 or so young people at point blank range using dum-dum bullets for nearly two years to make a rhetorical point (he issued a 1,500 page manifesto on line which now has been taken down) i ...
July 27, 2011
The world is run by Anglosphere power elites with tactical arms in Israel, Washington and perhaps the Vatican. It is abetted by corporate, political and military enablers. Its enemy is classical liberal sociopolitical stances and free-market thinking. Conservat ...

Why does an article like this appear in the Telegraph? It is a "Tory" paper that supports the royal family and serves as a foil to papers like the leftist Guardian in the UK. The elites evidently and obviously control both papers, but the Hegelian Dialectic bei ...

The current fiscal crisis that fills the pages of the newspapers and the news shows on television has all been revolving around the issue of raising the government debt limit. In fact, the present Congressional-approved debt limit of around $14.3 trillion dolla ...

Imagine you had a pesky neighbor who somehow took out a mortgage on his house in your name and by some legal trickery you were obligated to pay for it. Imagine watching this neighbor throw drunken parties, buy expensive cars, add more rooms to the house, and hi ...

One of the biggest reasons the Anglo-American elite lost the war in Afghanistan is because the wealthy families that make up Pakistan's elite were distrustful of both NATO and the US military-industrial comlex. In this article, excerpted above, we can see how t ...

An indication of the sad state of journalism is how often when people show support for the Casey Anthony verdict they are labeled as Casey Anthony supporters. But they could very well be supporting just one thing. That would be to accept the "not guilty" verdic ...
July 22, 2011
We have watched the unraveling of Europe for over a year now and can say with some shock and dismay, as the final act grows near, that what we have been treated to is probably nothing more than an elaborately scripted farce. Or call it a dominant social theme ( ...
July 22, 2011
The US mainstream media is in full cry over the end of the space shuttle program. This article in US Today is a good example of it, tugging on the heart strings to remind readers of the glory that once was. But we continually remind ourselves that when one look ...
July 21, 2011
The economic crisis that started in 2008 has not subsided in our view. The dollar reserve system essentially ended and nothing has yet been put in its place. This may be by design as the elites have signaled clearly their intention to move toward global governa ...

The New York Times recently reported on the case of Bruce E. Ivins, who committed suicide after being pursued by the Federal Bureau of Investigations over sending anthrax-laced letters to members of Congress and others. According to the filing, which was requir ...

What the Obama administration and its cheerleaders call "the stimulus" is by all sensible accounts the macroeconomic version of steroids. And you can get quite addicted to these – just as some athletes can to their versions. Now there are lots of things wrong ...
July 20, 2011
We can see in this article (excerpted above) the naked obviousness of a power elite dominant social theme. The crisis the EU faces is now said to be an international emergency and thus must be solved to protect the world. Greece's default is now somehow a globa ...

The Germans have their own Tea Party movement. We didn't know this until a feedbacker mentioned it recently. But we looked it up; it's true. The entire country is convulsed; it's bigger than what's happening in the US. You've read about it, haven't you? ... Hav ...
July 20, 2011
The economic crisis through which the United States and much of the rest of the world are now passing is not another supposed instance of the "failure" of unrestrained capitalism. It is the failure of the government's own policies. In other words, it is a crisi ...

This is a perfect Newsweek article by new editor Tina Brown – pitch perfect. The trouble is that the pitch is from decade ago. The sociopolitial and economic conversation has moved on, but it seems Tina Brown and Newsweek are stuck in the 1990s. The writer of ...

This really isn't funny to us. We've kinda lost our sense of humor, at least about John Maynard, Keynes, Keynesianism, The Fabian Society, the Bloomsbury group ... and all the rest. We're seeing the results of Keynesianism all around us and it isn't pretty. A f ...

Evans-Pritchard believes that Europe ought to be split into TWO currency zones – a Germanic one and a French one. He also believes the European Central Bank is trying to do too much and that it ought to switch from inflation fighting to job-targeting. The ide ...

Stanley Kauffmann is the film reviewer of The New Republic and his work in this area is worth the time it takes to read it, at least for me. He is what I would consider an erudite film critic, drawing on a vast familiarity with the history of cinema. Indeed, wh ...

The Daily Bell is pleased to present this exclusive interview with Swiss-based Banker, who provides us with this interview anonymously so that he can speak frankly about the inner workings of the Swiss financial system. As someone who has held high posts in bot ...
July 16, 2011
We think that what the elites want to set up is a currency basket that includes gold and that will be utilized worldwide, a global currency in other words. This global currency will accompany what the Anglosphere powers-that-be are building in terms of a global ...
July 15, 2011
Ben Bernanke stumbles from one public relations disaster to another. Fresh off his ludicrous statement to Congressman Ron Paul (left) that gold is not money, he has indicated that he's ready to buy more of America's junk bonds using currency printed from nothin ...
July 15, 2011
What we may have here is another dominant social theme – a promotion that seeks to trivialize what is most powerful about the Internet. That is, its ability to broadcast voices that would as yet be unheard and provide a platform for likeminded individuals who ...
July 14, 2011
This is an interesting article, once again, by the Excavator, a university student who runs a blog devoted to exposing the new world order. He has apparently discovered a book written by William Ralph Inge, a professor of divinity at Cambridge and Dean of St Pa ...

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; the best all lack conviction and the rest, from our point view, rely on the false strategy of numerical consolation. Increasingly, the West's mutual fund managers, researchers and analysts retreat to well-appointed inn ...
July 13, 2011
The lightbulb law is only a tiny matter, but sometimes such issues take on a kind of transcendental importance. The reversal of this law would be one positive example of the impact of the Internet Reformation, albeit a tiny one, that people may be starting to r ...
July 13, 2011
The idea that politicians should sign a pledge to promote personal morality is contrary to the avowed Tea Party commitment to small government. If you want the government to have a restricted scope, you should stick to the US Declaration as your guide: Governme ...
July 12, 2011
Joe Scarborough recently posted an interesting article at Politico focusing on a kind of sub-dominant social theme in the mainstream American media regarding the debt ceiling that Congress is trying to raise. At the end of the article (see above excerpt), he sh ...
