With the UN's World Water Day fast approaching on March 22, we wanted to take the opportunity to urge people not to attend and not to participate. What is not particularly clear about UN efforts because they are so massive and so obfuscated is that the entire w ...

We've written about the NRA numerous times now and usually not with any great enthusiasm. Bluntly, we believe the NRA is perhaps an organization controlled surreptitiously at the very top by a globalist power elite that wants to build world government and needs ...

The meme to end all memes! We've been waiting for this article for, well ... forever! So ... thanks, Ben Bernanke. We notice you traveled all the way to India to give your speech. Afraid it wouldn't be so well received at home? That's not surprising considering ...

The meme of the regnant technocrat has never been more powerful, it seems. The powers-that-be that utilize these technocrats for their own purposes are clever, indeed. It is hard to dislike a technocrat like the aged and cautious Mario Monti who just resigned a ...

Michael Savage has come out in opposition to flu jabs. His audience of some 10 million listeners is now at least partially aware that the king of conservative shock jocks has serious questions about the flu vaccine. The popular alternative news site World Net D ...

This is one of the stranger articles we've read in a while, and it is published in TNT Magazine, which is one of the first-ever "expatriate" magazines for readers in such countries as Australia and South Africa. The gentleman providing the financial analysis "e ...

The irascible and brilliant James Delingpole has just posted an article over at the UK Telegraph announcing the closure of the New York Times's environmental desk. Big news, indeed ... It is an article that lampoons its subject even while declaring victory. Del ...

We wish Paul Salopek well. This is a great opportunity to write and stay physically fit at the same time. National Geographic is going to spend a lot of money sponsoring him as he walks around the world. Salopek is an award-winning journalist and we can expect, ...

Greece is going to ban most cash transactions. As of last year, cash transactions over 1500 euros were banned. This moves the ban down by 1,000 euros. But from what we've read, the average Greek's transactions are already recorded in numerous ways so it is poss ...

Is the current Syrian administration doomed? There are or were YouTube videos of UN vehicles carrying armed "rebels" into Syria to fight against the government. These were said to be the same "al Qaeda" fighters that had added to forces overthrowing Syria's Mu ...

The District of Columbia (DOC) has an enormous listing of guns that are not legal according to statute. Some other states have such listings as well, though perhaps not in such detail. Is this, then, the future of US weapons? Continued complexity and further ba ...

We are suspicious of this sudden discovery that the European crisis has lessened. Der Spiegel, an elite mouthpiece if there ever was one, is virtually announcing it. But here is what inquiring minds want to know: Is the article accurate? And why would Der Spieg ...
January 10, 2013
With gun control becoming an explosive controversy in the US, it is interesting to note accusations now being leveled at Syria regarding its possession of uranium. This is likely part of the demonization of weapons generally that are not in the control of "resp ...

Sir Evelyn de Rothschild is making points about one of his favorite topics in this just-released series of remarks. That topic is financial regulation. Evelyn de Rothschild – surely one of the more powerful men in the world – is focused on financial regulat ...

Thanks to economist Gary North for this one. The bill, Illinois SB3341, passed the state senate in the spring and was handed off to the house this fall. With three amendments introduced in the house, it now sits in committee (see ilga.gov for progress). But we' ...
January 08, 2013
Chrystia Freeland is one of those Reuters commentators who apparently believe that the best way to implement free-market capitalism is to use government to support it. As government is force and free-markets are voluntary, this becomes a questionable propositio ...
January 08, 2013
Of course, we're being sarcastic. We're expanding on a previous topic here that mentioned our doubts (along with those expressed by much of the rest of the alternative media) about the Lord's Resistance Army and why it needed to be "hunted." In a previous artic ...
January 07, 2013
This article posted by the UK Telegraph deals with the emergence of alternative money in a stressed Greek society. What's an alternative dominant social theme? That people will take action, however ineffective, when they have no other options. A subdominant soc ...
January 07, 2013
This is a scary article that fits right in with our larger theory about power elite fear-based promotions. We call them dominant social themes and theorize with a good deal of corroborative evidence that these memes are intended to scare people into giving up p ...
January 04, 2013
When Kim Dotcom was chased into the safe room of his mansion in New Zealand a year ago, the mainstream Western press went into full cry. It was universally assumed that this Falstaffian character would soon be starring in his very own Shakespearian tragedy behi ...
January 04, 2013
Why would this leak now? Well, according to the article, "The plans came to light during research by a New Zealand author and filmmaker, Ray Waru, who examined military files buried in the national archives." Turns out that Waru is a famous Maori commentator wh ...
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 ...
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 ...
January 02, 2013
Presumably, this is an emergent dominant social theme that Mohamed El-Erian is giving voice to. Perhaps it is a subdominant social theme, as well. The dominant social theme is, of course, that government is good and among humankind's most necessary inventions. ...
January 02, 2013
The Luddites are at it again. Claiming that lower speeds create fewer fatalities, the UK Independent reports that officials are plotting lower speed limits throughout Wales and England. "Twenty is plenty," is the new mantra, though where this campaign has emerg ...
December 31, 2012
We have noticed that one way to establish the primacy of government is to create endless crises and then let the mainstream media go to work. Every day there will be new articles, new reports, new deliberations. People read the newspapers every day and begin to ...
December 31, 2012
Naomi Wolf has written a much-commented-on article in the leftist UK Guardian explaining how the Occupy movement was controlled and decimated in 2012. There had been big plans to expand the Occupy movement in numerous ways but as we can see from the article exc ...
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 ...

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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
December 26, 2012
Fascism – the idea that certain people in power should organize society's manifestations for everyone else – is what modernity calls a "trending topic." Here, in an article posted at Forbes, we are impressed once again with people's dogged certainties. Doct ...
December 26, 2012
We've written several articles on US quarterback Tim Tebow and now World Net Daily has, too. The WND article is written by former pastor Drew Zahn who is editor of seven books and is a regular columnist for WND. You can see some of our articles here: The Psycho ...
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 ...
December 21, 2012
There is a perception among a certain part of the alternative media that Russia under Vladimir Putin is a great protector of human rights and civic individualism. This perception goes hand-in-hand with certain ideas about money – namely that the state should ...
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 ...
December 21, 2012
The WHO (see above) is finally getting around to seeing if depleted uranium weapons used by NATO and the US are responsible for the many birth defects in Iraq. From what we can tell, the outcome will be a preordained "no." US officials, military or otherwise, h ...

Richard Reed is CEO of Innocent Drinks, a UK smoothie chain, and obviously he knows what he is talking about when it comes to businesses. Today Innocent Drinks has sales in excess of £100 million, 250 employees and offices across Europe. The three founders of ...
December 20, 2012
We would be all for gun control except for two things: It doesn't work and it seems to be part of what we call directed history. The goal is to reduce the ability of individuals to fight back against world government. There is almost no doubt more "controls" ar ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
December 19, 2012
We keep covering the unraveling of the pharmaceutical industry because this is where what we call the Internet Reformation has been increasingly effective. Even ten years ago, the Western model of healthcare was regnant but now it is reeling. And the Internet i ...
December 18, 2012
Con Coughlin is one of the most persistent and consistent of Afghan war reporters. In fact, a UK Telegraph feedbacker noted recently: I admire your consistent position on all matters war, Mr Coughlin. There hasn't been one single war (or the threat of it, such ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
December 14, 2012
Holy Batman! The satirical Onion website has just posted an editorial entitled, "Ho, Ho, Ho! 9/11 Was An Inside Job!" We are very surprised to see this sort of article at the Onion, as we long ago gave up on this website as a site that was as predictable as it ...
December 14, 2012
What we call the Internet Reformation can be seen clearly in reports like this. A young man uses 'Net technology to track every drone strike and makes a horrible discovery. A 'Net facility called Business Insider then blows up the story by publishing it around ...
