'Dominant Social Theme: There's no money! The governments can't help! Help! Free-Market Analysis: As the power elite that wants to run the world grows more crazed and desperate, their bought-and-paid-for financial facilities and media mouthpieces become crazier, too. If we had a free-market system of money instead of a monopoly/government/mercantilist one, then the market itself would take care of the money necessary. That is not what the powers-that-be want you to think. They want you to be frightened and thus use their dominant social themes like this one (the world is running out of money) to make you feel hopeless and powerless. These themes are almost always scarcity-based. At the end they propose globalist solutions (run by the power elite) to provide the necessary antidote to market failure. The powers-that-be are by now fully aware that they have poured their tens of trillions into a dysfunctional economic system that needs to be allowed to fail. But since this bubble system of banks and financial firms is NOT to be allowed to fail, it will go on wasting gigantic sums of money. Then, central banks will have to print MORE money and even MORE money. At some point price inflation shall bring the whole system down. Unless, of course, the powers-that-be can somehow make the case to people that the market failure is organic. But it is not organic. The current money system is a fake and a fraud. It is a system of command and control for a very few. And now these few are faced with explaining and justifying its failure during what we call the Internet Reformation. Conclusion: Good luck.'

'Gee, it's getting harder and harder to be the Internet's leading analyst of elite dominant social themes. Take Kony 2012. (Please, TAKE it!) We saw an article about the Kony 2012 "viral video" probably on Wednesday, the day it was posted. We were shocked and angered at the obviousness of the meme. But BEFORE we could write a word, everybody else had started to! We've never seen anything like it. It bears out our contention regarding what we call the Internet Reformation – and how it is reaching a kind of critical mass. The entire alternative media, for all its internecine quarrels, seems perched on a knife-edge now – watching carefully to see what new false-flag the "non-existent" power elite has up its sleeve. And as soon as it senses, aggregately ... even a whiff of a new ploy or gambit ... boy, does it pounce! This must be debilitating to the powers-that-be. Ten years ago, the Kony promotion doubtless would have carried the day and provided a great impetus for the US and NATO to get further involved in Africa – obviously with an eye toward unifying Africa by intimidating Africa's leaders into furthering the formal arrangements of the nascent African Union. Surprisingly, the backlash has been intense. This is exactly what we have been predicting for about a decade now.'

'... "government invented the Internet" is a power elite subdominant social theme of sorts. This is the way government/military-industrial propagandists always operate. What did DARPA actually do? Long ago, its technologists decided that they needed a communication device to link America's military-industrial complex together so as to be able to build more efficient weapons of mass destruction. This duly took place and the Pentagon like a malevolent Queen Bee sat in the middle of the entrenched nervous system of worker-bee universities, specialized libraries and think tanks all plotting new ways to kill people. But then, as we have related many times before, the "two Steves" came along in the 1970s and, working in a garage, helped invent and popularize the personal PC. Many, many years later, Bill Gates woke up and wrote his famous memo saying the Internet was indeed a Serious Thing. That's because, unbeknownst to DARPA, their weaponized network had been overtaken by the Hayekian Spontaneous Organization of the free market. Millions had connected to DARPA's tiny network of putative mass destruction and turned it into something else entirely. The Age of the Internet Reformation had begun.'

'Dominant Social Theme: The elites are a bunch of corporations and greedy capitalists. What banking families? They're never mentioned in the mainstream media, are they? So how can they exist? -- ...the Anglosphere power elite wants to create world government and it needs maximum chaos to do so. Of course, this doesn't bode well for the future but it's important to face it unflinchingly. War, depression, famine, plagues – all of these are weapons the elites can use if they can get away with it. And that's the crux issue. Even now, the elites behind this incipient chaos need to disguise their actions. They need to hide – to present solutions that seem to address the problems they are actually causing with their incessant central banking booms and increasingly depressive busts. -- We believe that Western elites were set back as regards their control of the world because of the advent of the Gutenberg Press. We believe this is a state of affairs they will have to grapple with again in a different context as a result of the truth-telling of the Internet, which we've taken to calling the Internet Reformation. As people wake up, the elite finds it more and more difficult to implement its world-spanning plans. We see many failures in the elite's program. Global warming, peak oil, central banking, even the establishment of the European Union itself – all of these elite memes and more have come under attack in the Internet era.'

'The riots are great political theatre, but in our view they are not serious, or not yet. Most of those involved are perfectly sincere – and agonized – over what is taking place, but at the top, history is being manipulated and plans are being set in motion. It is too pat, too perfect. The mainstream media – an entirely controlled apparatus in our view – is bringing us all the sound and fury of these civil conflicts from the riots in Europe to the demands of Occupy Wall Street in America to the soundbites of the Modern Technological Messiah, Julian Assange, on the steps of St. Paul's in Britain. TV, news, even the Internet is ablaze with modern, scripted chaos. There are wars in the Middle East and Africa, a growing (controlled) global protest, the world's remaining pillar of economic stability – China – teeters perilously over a pit of stagflation and recession. There is talk of revolution ... and guillotines. Russia Today, seemingly part of the Hegelian Dialectic after all, brings us rioting in full color over the Internet. All that is left now is to increase the agony while gradually introducing the final structures of globalism as the antidote. It is perfectly possible that the emergent – and unexpected – era of the Internet has thrown the schedule for globalism in disarray. These are in any event dangerous forces the elite toys with. What seems initially controllable and correctly "channeled" can easily spill over the banks and turn into a raging and uncontrollable flood. The stakes have never been higher, not ever in world history.'

'Dominant Social Theme: It's all Wall Street's fault. Government needs to write the wrongs of capitalism. -- The human hive mind is at work. It is unstoppable. The elites, so powerful in the 20th century, are seemingly on the wrong side of history in the 21st. Yesterday, Anthony Wile's editorial "Blaming Wall Street Is Wrong" was used, in part, as a basis for a story written by Paul Joseph Watson of Infowars and Prison Planet and then featured as the lede on the Drudge Report, which sets the news agenda for the West's major, mainstream media. The proximate cause of the Infowars article, as well, was a video by journalist Adam Kokesh who interviewed protesters in Washington DC and showed clearly the fascist ideology that motivates the so-called "left." In focusing on the protests, it should be noted that they are not monolithic and include at least some who understand that the nexus of the problem is much larger than Wall Street, even though Wall Street is PART of the problem. But targeting Wall Street, essentially a transactional mechanism, is not only easy, it is convenient for the powers-that-be who operate Wall Street and do not want their OWN roles revealed. A spectre haunts the world and its elites ...'

'"Britain has become a zombie economy. Capital is no longer being allocated. – UK Telegraph" -- ...people (normal people) are aware of the elite money giveaways. To them it doesn't look like a substantive policy – it just looks like a bunch of rich people propping up "their" financial system. In fact, that's exactly right. This elaborate charade was presented with some level of dignity in the 20th Century but collapsed utterly in the 21st Century when the Internet exposed it. In a single decade, central banks have gone from possessing an almost religious aura to being a laughingstock. The elite still doesn't "get it." What's been lost is the moral justification. People see the central banking system as a scam now, even when they can't quite explain it. And that's what's going to kill it eventually.'

'Pre-Internet, what's happening in the EU would have been buried under mainstream media misdirection. People might not have understood the larger forces at work. But the EU unraveling along with much else has played out under the merciless glare of the alternative press, and the European tribes are aware of the manipulations that are taking place. It is realization of these manipulations that informs ... a surprisingly good piece of reporting. It is written by Paul Mason, BBC Newsnight's Economics Editor, who is broadcasting regularly from Greece, and it seems to have concentrated his mind, at least for a while, on what's actually happening. The problems are happening to people, individual people, and it is these people, ultimately, who will formulate a response, not "Greece," not politicians, not "working groups" – not even the IMF or ECB. The EU was not an accident. The "crisis" that now affects the EU was long anticipated and was intended to build a closer political union.'

'When the world's leaders begin to warn of something in concert, we try to peer beneath the surface to see what they are really driving at. Austerity – the grinding down of the West's middle class – is one aspect of it, perhaps. But the installation of a global currency is perhaps another. Problem ... solution. Thesis ... antithesis. It has occurred to us, as well, that the powers-that-be miscalculated with this latest downturn. While in another era it might be easy for the elites to utilize such a crisis to their advantage, the Internet itself is likely making this sort of manipulation more difficult. We see a kind of Internet Reformation taking shape around the world that is countering the globalist trends of the Anglosphere power elite. Things will likely get much worse before they get better, but the rising consciousness about the way the world REALLY works means that solutions meant to be implemented from the top down will likely be put in place with a good deal more difficulty.'

'All of a sudden people are understanding the rot at the base of their monetary systems. They can see the game is rigged, and not on behalf of those who believe in democracy but those who are selling the dream. People can see that the newspapers and mainstream media broadcasts are pure propaganda that utilizes the Hegelian dialectic to create an illusion of democratic debate – when in fact all it is doing is constraining the discussion in order to arrive at pre-determined conclusions. People can now see the outright lies that spew forth from the mouths of the puppet leaders who pretend to run the State. In essence, the Internet Reformation is destroying public confidence in the structural edifices that have been established by the elite. It is not just financial, but the whole apparatus that is losing "voters." This is what is causing Hurricane Reality to build up even more momentum and destructive power as it spins above the Western world.'

'Well, we do not think more jaw-jaw is what people want to hear right now, or that the money magicians are capable of doing anything to stop the rapid erosion of public confidence. It is only the confidence of the public that enables the continuous printing of unrestrained fiat currencies – which combine to provide the base of an international Ponzi scheme. But something's happening around the world that the money masters didn't plan on. People are waking up. Stop the insanity! You cannot fix a dysfunctional monetary system that is built on a fraudulent premise by simply increasing the degree of the crime. The impossibly wealthy families who desire one-world governance will stop at nothing – including the use of force – to complete their centuries-long mission. But arrogantly, they will refuse to cease their devious efforts and instead will try to use these crises to bind the masses into accepting a fear-based international monetary solution. Out of chaos… order.'

'...the real problem is the unrestrained and continuously inflated currency unit itself and the central banking system that manages it .... The system allows Western politicians to make unrealistic promises to a mass of non-thinking "takers" who've been educated into believing they have a "right" to a free ride through life. It feeds Money Power's hunger for global government and enables its use of NATO and the US military-industrial complex to mold foreign countries into manageable pieces that can eventually be amalgamated. The Internet Reformation ... threatens to reshape the world as we know it by exposing the power elite's machinations for all to see. Mainstream media is under attack. Establishment politicians stumble through one embarrassing press conference to the next attempting to maintain the illusion that they are really working for the people. Instead, they are willing soldiers intent on increasing the debt-pressure and ignoring the rising barometer of understanding.'

'...the Internet continues to expose the agenda of a Money Power intent on establishing global governance. People are awakening to understand what money is and what it is not. They can see how the financial elite uses their deceitful world-spanning enterprise of central banks – administered by the Bank for International Settlements – to enslave people under yokes of debt. They can see how mainstream media is complicit in aiding and abetting the whole process – in fact controlled by the very same elite. They can see the Hegelian dialectic in play when their bought-and-paid-for Congressional puppets get together to "play." The structural control centers the elite worked so hard at establishing (pre-'Net era) are all in danger of imminent collapse. The Internet Reformation, like Protestant Reformation inspired by the Gutenberg press some 500 years ago, is a truth driven knowledge revolution. The war will be against truth media, not "cyber-terrorists."'

'People make billions and billions, perhaps trillions and trillions, of decisions each and everyday about a whole host of things that affect their lives. The totality of all these decisions shapes the overall environment around us. And the closer the decision maker is to the ultimate effect of the actual decision being made, the more likely the individual will choose a course that best represents his or her interest. The globalists are once again feeling the pressure that comes from an increase in public consciousness. It has been roughly 500 years since the Gutenberg Press inspired its "season of change." Well, we are just in the dawning days of this 'Net-inspired "season of change" and the collectivist agenda is rapidly being exposed for the brutal destroyer to natural liberty that it is. The pool of "believers" is shrinking. There will be pain to come as reality takes root, but the positive, dear reader, is that we all have a chance to build something new – a free-market.'

'The Fabian-socialist economist John Maynard Keynes famously said not one man in a million could comprehend the workings of the central bank – so large is the lie that the money system is based upon. But Keynes's statement was pre-Internet. The giveaway of the Fed's trillions and trillions has played out under the merciless spotlight of digital coverage. Thousands of bloggers and perhaps millions of articles have commented on these impossible figures. And gradually, around the world – and certainly in America – it has occurred to the jobless, homeless and hopeless that SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. The great, grasping mechanism of mercantilist central banking has been exposed for all to see. Societies that use some form of gold-as-money are apt to be fairer and healthier than fiat-money societies. The Chinese who have experienced eight ruinous bouts with fiat currency call it "flying money." Gold doesn't fly. In this sense, it has a morality as well as a utility.'

Broadcast Channel 4 1/1/1998 -- 'Docu-drama of what the media might be like by the year 2012. EQUINOX's first drama, set in the future, focuses on the facts behind the suspicious death of media mogul, Liam Keller, whose software applications have had a huge impact upon broadcast TV, earning him enemies around the world. In the late 1990s, Keller had devised 'Gambit', a virus which enabled all technologies (the internet, television broadcasting, e-mail) to converge – to communicate with one another. Found floating in the Thames, a television current affairs programme sets out to explore how Keller might have met his death. Through Keller's life story this drama explores the consequences of future technology, reflecting on what might happen to our present day media over the next few years.' -- Keller: "The government is committing large scale larceny... [forcing] you to pay taxes for services that they aren't providing. From a consumer point-of-view, government is a failing brand."

'In January 1776 Thomas Paine’s pamphlet “Common Sense”, which rallied the colonists against the British crown, was printed in a run of 1,000 copies. One of them reached George Washington, who was so impressed that he made American officers read extracts of Paine’s work to their men. By July 1776 around 250,000 people, nearly half the free population of the colonies, had been exposed to Paine’s ideas. Newspapers at the time had small, local circulations and were a mix of opinionated editorials, contributions from readers and items from other papers; there were no dedicated reporters. All these early media conveyed news, gossip, opinion and ideas within particular social circles or communities, with little distinction between producers and consumers of information. They were social media. In many ways news is going back to its pre-industrial form, but supercharged by the internet. The mass-media era now looks like a relatively brief and anomalous period that is coming to an end.'

'In order to build a new world order, people must be either frightened or enticed into cooperating. It is a great deal easier to scare people than to bribe them, less costly too. But when people begin to tune ... out as they have in the 21st century, then the message is muddled and gradually grows more insignificant. Murdoch's properties are supposed to provide the conservative half of a worldwide Hegelian dialectic. Thesis, antithesis ... synthesis. Murdoch provides the antithesis, with relish. As a major facilitator of the one-world conspiracy, Murdoch is tasked with taming the Internet Reformation. But in order to accommodate the changing conversation he begins to BECOME exactly what his elite backers hoped to eradicate. To retain credibility he must present free-market thinking; yet this is anathema to his sponsors. It is a conundrum. -- For those in tune with what is happening, it is a great time to be alive, as the great conversation has been illuminated once again.'

'Dominant Social Theme: Relax and let Dreamtime sweep over you. These are the best of times, and even when things go wrong we can make them right again. -- It seems to us that human beings are extraordinarily connected via culture and exquisitely sensitive to changes in that culture. Mass communication means that everyone can understand something almost at the same time. And what is not understood almost instantly by all is soon communicated in other, informal venues. There are obviously technological reasons for what is occurring; but the larger mechanism is instinctual and biological. The Gutenberg Press seems to have almost entirely leveled the elite power-justifications of the day. The unraveling of modern power elite memes in our view is perhaps something of an inevitability given the confluence of technology and biology. ...this strange "hive mind" is busily undermining the memes on which the elites rely. Money Power is strong, but the hive mind, perhaps, is stronger.'

'Take time to look at what happened after the advent of the Gutenberg Press, and the social ferment becomes apparent. The Renaissance, Reformation, Cromwell's Revolution, the Glorious Revolution, the French Revolution, the American Revolution and the Age of Enlightenment all flowed from the mechanized dissemination of information. Some of what took place was influenced by the elites; some was manipulated; some was good and some less so. But the ferment is easily visible; it is undeniable. The elites lost power; they lost control and a New World was born, literally. It seems to have taken the elites centuries to regain control that the Gutenberg Press had undermined. They only fully regained control, perhaps, in the 20th century, a halcyon era for mind control. And now, in 21st century, dominance has been undermined again. If so, one could make the argument that we have discarded a century-long Dark Ages and are experiencing the beginnings of a kind of Internet Reformation.'

'...the Anglosphere elite that surely wishes to undermine the Internet Reformation is going to run into considerable pushback... The elites of the day seemingly could not control the ramifications of the Gutenberg Press no matter what they tried to do, and they evidently tried everything from war, to licensing, to false flag events and social manipulation. It didn't matter; force never solves anything longer term. Indeed, "the pen is mightier than the sword." Now, nearly 600 years after Gutenberg's original invention of mass conversation, a "great shift" – Internet Reformation – has begun anew. ...the parallels are clear. The Internet Reformation itself may prove a great deal more resilient than some now believe. The human hive mind is busy buzzing. The spread of knowledge – real knowledge – continues. The Dark Ages of the 20th century begin to lift and Dreamtime subsides. Information about free-markets continues to spread. Are these trends reversible? Don't think so.'

'The old men of the City of London seek to rule the world; their interest has little to do with raw materials and much to do with control over unruly tribes and restive citizens. As for positioning Western military resources in such a way as to intimidate Russia and China; we are more inclined to believe that there is no great need to intimidate either of these countries. Their leaders and elites may already be on board with the idea of one-world governance. It's mainly the tribes in Eurasia that the elites want to dominate. The good news is that this program is increasingly in chaos. The City of London – arrogant and contemptuous – simply doesn't wish to acknowledge what is increasingly evident to others: That the Internet has changed the rules of engagement. And that they may be losing, not winning. Millions, even tens of millions understand it – and as the Internet is process not an episode, even more will understand tomorrow.'

'The Arab Awakening is truly a regional if not global phenomenon. Of course, we have our own name for it: The Internet Reformation. The world will never be the same. The world's economy, when you come down to it, is a product of American military force. Use the dollar to buy oil or else ... But if the US and Saudi Arabia cannot control the spiraling disaster in Yemen, the next stop on the revolutionary train is Bahrain. And after that ... Saudi Arabia. And THIS time, events may not be easily salvageable. The Internet has educated the Arab world about its history. ...the elites chose to propagate a central banking economy in order to chase after world government, and now they are in danger of an eroding dollar reserve, which could eventually result in the creation of an entirely new (and uncontrollable) currency. Anyway, if Saudi Arabia falls, the dominoes may simply keep tumbling. Who pays any attention to funny little countries like Yemen anyway?'

'...much of what passes for a career nowadays is unfortunately wrapped round a bevy of elite memes. Just because the elites can print enough money to create whole new industries that last only a few years, doesn't mean that one can build a career around them. ...much may change over the next years, including the idea of what constitutes a career – and even what constitutes modern civilization. What good is literacy when it spawns a militaristic society that uses this ability to spread Anglo-American authoritarianism around the world; what good is an education if you are in some sense contributing to your own enslavement? Perhaps the best thing to do at this point would be to apprentice oneself to a trade and then chart the course of the autodidact on one's own. With the Internet does one really need to spend four-years in a university spending tens of thousands of dollars for careers that may vanish with the next financial collapse?'

'In 1971, the Anglosphere elites created the world's first fully fiat reserve currency – the US dollar – by instructing their Saudi surrogates to accept payment for oil only in dollars. Since this meant that every other country in the world had to hold dollars to purchase oil, the US could print as much money as it needed to fund whatever global adventures it wished to undertake. It used much of its windfall to further build out the military. Eventually, this money-printing capacity helped undermine – or at least provide the justification for the collapse of – the Soviet Union. Everything was going well for the elites in the late 20th century. Russia was westernizing, Israel's power was advancing and world government was gradually moving forward as well with the expansion of the West's various globalist instrumentalities. Even the dollar was holding steady. But then came the Internet. People know too much, or at least are beginning to learn. And they are angry.'

'Money Power depends on the myth of infallibility buttressed by an overwhelming sense of fear. In the 20th century, this worked well. The entire mechanism of global government was put in place and people didn't object. In fact, many welcomed it. But today is another story. With the failure of its many memes (thanks in part to the Internet Reformation in my view), the power elite turned to increasingly to violence – as they always do. But what if violence doesn't work either? What then? This is the LARGER "turning point" that Hillary is talking about. THE END OF EMPIRE. If the five or so top Punjabi families do not rout out the Pashtun/Taliban, the Afghan war is indeed lost. And if the war is lost, then 10-20 percent of the world's population once again (as the Brits tried this 150 years ago) escapes the trap of the New World Order.' -- "That which can be destroyed by the truth should be." – P.C. Hodgell

'The stakes are ludicrously high. As goes Saudi Arabia, so goes the dollar... A destabilized fiat currency could be only months away. Yes, the CIA ripped it! Poor boys. Even a Yale education doesn't help during a technology Reformation. A good idea to encourage meddlesome color revolutions? Not really. Foggy Bottom woke up the youth around the world and provided them with a most unusual and resolutely denied commodity ... hope. It showed young people how to use social media to inform and agitate. Now the result: "Blowback." Serbia, Tunisia and Egypt were all initial victories for one reason or another. But in the era of the Internet, triumphs can mutate inconveniently. Yemen's democratizing, and it will come, will be a setback; Bahrain's likely regime change will pose great difficulties; Saudi Arabia's regime change (whenever it occurs) will be an unmitigated, rolling disaster for Western elites. Oh, heads will roll, not just in Saudi Arabia but also at the CIA, MI6 and Mossad.'

'There seems to be a kind of unconscious "hive-mind" at work; how else to explain the kind of unrest occurring now? ...the blowback is considerable in the Era of the Internet. The City of London, with all its deliberate brutality and rigor, is surely provoking the current unrest, or at least deepening it with its absurd policies and insistence on the inviolate nature of banking debt. This is why we present the idea that the old men of Money Power are out of touch and don't know what to do next. Either that, or they are deliberately provoking societal breakdown anent a kind of super-regional or World War. This too is puzzling as the low-key wars that raged after the impact of the Gutenberg Press did little if anything to slow the social change from the spread of its "truth-telling, conciousness-unlocking" information technology. If the Anglosphere elites think they can control events as they did during the past 100-300 years, they may well be miscalculating.'

'The next big opportunity after investing in applications is in social upheavals and revolutions, said Union Square Venture’s Fred Wilson today. He said after the infrastructure of the Internet and the applications have been established, the next step is revolutions personified by Wikileaks, BitCoin, the Arab Spring, the hacking attack on PlayStation Network and other changes. Wilson said it’s unclear how investors can even participate or fund these ideas, but that’s where the Internet is moving now.'

'Way back when the Gutenberg Press was doing damage to establishment verities, the power elite apparently answered with a series of wars. It begins to look as if the Anglosphere elites are doing so again. Chaos is enhanced as a means of control. As the Internet exposes elite memes, the elites fight back by sowing confusion. People are to be distracted from understanding the underlying causes of the Internet Reformation by sour economies, rising prices and an ever-morphing war on terror. The trouble with this sort of activity is that truth and understanding can easily spiral oppressors plans out of control. Apparently it did so back during Gutenberg Press era when elite meddling spawned the Protestant Reformation, several revolutions and eventually the Age of Enlightenment. It is doing so today, in my view. The elites are losing control of the dominant social themes that they used so effectively in the 20th century. People are simply less apt to believe what they are being told.'

'Empires based on force last only so long as they are victorious and expansive. Rome began to die once its legions ran up against the "barbarians"... The Anglo-American empire—which has been showing signs of stress for 20 years—will begin to die as well. It is perfectly possible that the power of the Anglosphere banking families shall wane as well. ....what the Anglosphere is faced with in this era of the New Internet Reformation. When empires confront their limits, social instability inevitably expands. Having turned to violence, the great banking families cannot afford to look as if they have lost—even a little bit. The patina of inevitability must not chip. Yet the "hive mind" is well aware of the real conversation. Fear shall subside; defiance shall expand as defeats (even if explained away) mount. The nightmare scenario the Anglosphere elite fears most shall likely begin to unfold. All the money in the world cannot fully ameliorate such entropy, not at this point in time, anyway.'

'The Internet has been remarkably efficient at circulating information that counteracts and destabilizes [power elite memes]. And without the ability to promote such propaganda, the elites are left with authoritarian tools that substitute force for persuasion. It is not, in my view, unsophisticated to argue that a new technology can circulate over time new information that gives rise to new thinking that destabilizes and reforms old institutions especially if such institutions are set up under false pretenses. One can watch the power elite set up false flags to take advantage of people's credulity regarding the current technologies and the color revolutions and WikiLeaks may be good examples. But what is far more frightening to the elites and far less easily managed is the spread of suppressed knowledge these technologies are fostering. That is where the real damage is being done and the elites can do little or nothing about it. The dawn of the Internet Reformation is upon us all.'

'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 millions of young men and women who industriously add to its impact every day via additional code, non-mainstream news or fundamental scientific commentary. Like the radical information that spawned from the Gutenberg press, the impact of the information available to counteract elite modern memes is not immediately visible but over time has a devastating effect. Human beings do have a kind of hive mind (via intimate communications between families and friends and various cultural exchanges) and once additional information is made available, that Mind incorporates it. ...the Internet Reformation will continue to advance, undermining the memes of the powers-that-be and creating eventually an explosion of decentralizing influences.'

'Sarkozy ... wants to use the G8 as a platform to put top politicians and top technologists in the same room together. According to Johnson, those Sarkozy hopes will include attendees Eric Schmidt of Google, Jack Ma of Alibaba, Jeff Bezos of Amazon, and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg. Again, none of this is actually aimed at benefiting Internet freedom. People like Sarkozy want to CONTROL this endlessly organic facility and reduce its ability to expose elite plans. It's making them crazy! In the 20th century, the Anglosphere elite moved rapidly toward its goal of centralized world governance. But 21st century technology has virtually stripped away the veil of secrecy behind which the elites operated and exposed their plans. By exposing their plans and also the fear-based promotions that they use to drive middle classes into giving up power and wealth to internationalist institutions, the Internet has vastly complicated the elite's efforts at "finishing the job."'

'The entire dollar-reserve system died in 2008 but there is no recognition of that in Congress or among those who are doing the reporting. -- Taking the broadest view, one could speculate that Western civilization itself is going through a fairly rare convulsion. ...the last significant sociopolitical evolution took place after the invention of the Gutenberg press, which convulsed Europe and ultimately led to the Renaissance, the Reformation, the Age of Enlightenment, the formation of whole new country (America) and numerous wars, including the 30-year Peasant War and the American and French revolutions. The elites are racing to build global government before the Western middle classes are fully aware. The current political debates, with their ephemera and trivialities hardly give one even a taste of what is yet to come. A clash of cultures is in the offing. The Western mainstream media likely will not cover it, but then, again, you see, there IS the Internet's alternative media...'

'The power of the Internet to uncover the true nature of elite plans, to expose the fraudulent central banking system, the complicit role of mainstream Western media to spread and reinforce elite dominant social themes, the ever-ready and vociferous support of the Vatican, etc. etc. This is what the elite are afraid of and, similar to how the Roman Catholic Church and European nobility attempted by force to restrict the power of the Gutenberg Press when the truth spreading impact of it began to shatter their control over European citizenry, the elite's of today are now resorting to "legalized force" in an attempt to protect their pillars of control from crumbling once again. Will the power elite be victorious in squelching Internet Reformation (IR)?' -- What we need right now is a clear message to the people of this country. This message must be read in every newspaper, heard on every radio, seen on every television... I want *everyone* to *remember*, why they *need* us! (Sutler)

'...the benefits of the "war racket" may not be as realizable in the 21st century as in the 20th. Here is irony and tragedy. Tragedy because so much blood has been spilled and now the Pentagon stands, perhaps, to gain very little, neither strategic bases nor a trustworthy ally. Irony because the State Department and its CIA-inspired youth revolutions that have overthrown two regimes so far are now to be turned on their head. Al-Sadr is poised to lead a youth revolution of his own, using CIA-inspired weapons to undermine a CIA-supported government. Usually the US makes itself at home in a given region once it has waged war. And with between 700 and 1,000 military-intelligence bases around the world, US forces have the experience to do so. ...that the time has come and gone. In the era of the Internet, these depredations are overly obvious; the mass of humanity in these miserable countries or at least its intelligentsia is awakening (as we have long predicted).'

'...in the 20th century elite procedures worked very well. Delicately-made statements were offered up by the appropriate individuals, a paper trail was established; a series of meetings took place; decisions were made by "wise ones" and eventually the New York Times published the foregone conclusion... But the ‘Net, with its compulsive repurposing, has changed the context and the elite's formula of sociopolitical manipulation. What was once unseen is now clarified. What was previously all-but-inaudible now shouts from the ‘Net's electronic newsprint. The elite stubbornly refuses to change though. No, the same procedures used in the 20th century are still in play in the 21st. The same false-flags are trotted out; the same absurdities are made manifest by pliable governments. The trouble is that the Internet, in putting such manipulations in context, inevitably reveals their ridiculousness. The charade is tissue thin and ripped asunder by anyone who studies it for an hour or two.'

Jones: "The internet, as a living breathing system that humans breathe life into, has its own immune system and is getting smarter and smarter as the group collective – the group consciousness of the web – becomes more and more astute at instantly identifying the government robot trolls and the physical individual trolls."

'"The whole idea of an American business trying to make a profit off of a product its hired professionals create on a daily basis is a truly brave and intrepid strategy," said media analyst Steve Messner, adding that NYTimes.com's extremely risky new approach to commerce—wherein legal tender must be exchanged in order to receive a desired service—could drastically reduce the publication's readership. "To ask NYTimes.com's 33 million unique monthly visitors to switch to a cash-for-manufactured-goods-based model from the standard everything-online-should-be-free-for-reasons-nobody-can-really-explain-based model is pretty fearless.'

'...the single, significant problem that the mainstream Western media is facing ... is that mainstream publications are seen increasingly as providing unreliable information tailored to the promotion of one-world dominant social themes. The main difference between the blogosphere and the mainstream media is that the blogosphere directly confronts the phenomenon of the Anglo-American power elite and its attempts to create one-world government without ever admitting that it is doing so. The emphasis on Western and even world control by a small monetary elite differentiates the alternative media from the mainstream, which is under control of money power itself. In essence, money power and the media elites are one in the same. Mainstream reporting is thus not in a position to report honestly; that's not what they are about. They are similar in nature to the Federal Reserve, which states one of their pirmary objectives to be controlling inflation when in fact THEY CREATE IT.'

'Rap News, Episode 7: It's 2011 and amid a flurry of political leaks and revelations, revolutions have rolled across North Africa and The Middle East, sweeping regimes and dictatorships before them. Join your host Robert Foster for long overdue analysis of these events, asking the question that's on everyone's lips -- where will revolution spark next? But when a news flash comes in from a special embedded correspondent, the episode takes an unprecedented turn, as that very question is answered in dramatic fashion. How will the world treat the latest courageous country to throw off the yoke of oppression? Is any cow sacred in this time of massive upheaval? Can there be any doubt that History Is Happening?'

'The worse things are, the more "technology" is celebrated. It has been ever thus. Western mainstream media is a kind of prestidigitation, a magic show. One is always looking under the wrong shell. Some of the information on the Internet is viable; some of it is speculative; some of it is incorrect. But unlike in the 20th century, "forbidden' information is actually available. Internet communication hasn't just informed us about alternative technologies or ancient archeology; it's also helped us understand our governments and the shadowy elites standing behind them. It is the Internet that has allowed the exploration of the world's disastrous central banking economy and exposed the elite's plans for a new world order. It is much more difficult to hide relevant information in the 21st than in the 20th century. That doesn't mean the mainstream media won't try – and try it does with ever-increasing fervor. The cult of communication technology coverage is just one example.'

'Dominant Social Theme: Time to be responsible, for the children. -- With so many elite themes under attack, the operational methodology seems to be to ignore the debunking and simply use the power of government (regulatory democracy) to generate the desired result. But observing this, we ask why then does the elite go to the trouble of creating dominant social themes at all? The answer is because it is not feasible to move society in a given direction without creating a rationale that includes either fear or greed as the goad, usually fear. People need to be "led;" they need to willingly accept the themes being inculcated. In our view, this is increasingly problematic, and we believe this particular dilemma will only grow worse over time. The fundamental conflict of the 21st century is the debunking-aspect of the Internet versus the continued efficacy of power elite promotions. How one determines the resolution of this conflict has personal, familial and investment ramifications.'

'Much of what passes for valid knowledge becomes simply the individual’s unconscious acceptance of the dominant view. Knowledge generated and indoctrinated into each individual now becomes the moral compass that guides their actions. In the age prior to the time of ubiquitous internet communication, the gate was tightly governed. It was like the eye of a needle that very few could get through to participate in unfolding perception. What those in power absolutely fear is a collapse of the projections that guard the system of expert knowledge, which has replaced individual capacity to listen to ones own conscience. They are afraid of people marching side by side with those individuals who refuse to carry the given script and instead create their own and walk through the gate of the future on their own terms. What WikiLeaks has done is lifted up the perception of the masses that up to now has been governed by illegitimate authority of ‘expert’ knowledge.'

Shaped its people, its customs, its morals. In your eyes the control is complete, your contrivance beyond absolute. You have poisoned and corrupted this world, turning its people into willing slaves for your own gain. Mass murder, torture, perjury, embezzlement, fraud, deception, treason.

'Ever since this site was created, we've tried to make the point that the dominant social themes of the Anglo-American elite are gradually unraveling. The world, in fact, is engaged in a massive contest between what I've called the "truth-telling of the Internet" and the long-established fear-based promotions of Anglo-American power elite. -- Many people cannot conceive (even today) that the entire Western world has been reconfigured over the past century to support the power-elite's drive for world government, or that every facet of Western society – education, finance, politics, media – has been hollowed out and repositioned for this purpose. The conspiracy is vast, the ambition so extraordinary, the arrogance so overwhelming that it is difficult if not impossible to comprehend. It has to do, of course, with the credibility of the "big lie." The larger the lie the more people will believe it as they cannot fathom untruth on such a vast scale.'

'King's statement to the Treasury Select Committee as reported in the UK Telegraph is a pitch-perfect defense of central banking using the meme of private-sector blame. ...central banking blows up economies, leading to more regulation which further concentrates power in the hands of a few, allowing government and society to be even more efficiently run by the elite via mercantilism. It's kind of a closed feedback loop. The more chaos, the more regulation, the more leverage the elite has to reignite the process. Power is continually being centralized and the middle classes themselves (the elite's ultimate target) will actually clamor for the regulation that facilitates the process. In order to initiate the process, blame must be cast. There has not been enough anger at the private banking sector, especially in Britain where wrath has been focused – most alarmingly from the elite's point of view – at central banking itself. This is a direct result of the Internet...'

'...much of what the Western elites constructed in the 20th century was created in secret with the assistance of a complaisant mainstream media (complaisant because it is elite-owned). The elite does not by any means control the Internet at this juncture and the totality of their ambitions has been playing out on an enormous international electronic bulletin board for the past 20 years. Not everyone knows, or cares to, understand. But many do. How Western elites intend to construct the next phase of their globalist evolution in the face of what has become omnipresent exposure of such machinations is an open question from our perspective. There is no doubt that plans will proceed. This is a century-long, multigenerational conspiracy. But at this point, it must be said that the arrogance runs as deep as the exposure, and perhaps this is not a great combination of characteristics for those who intend to build a new world order.'

'We have been given a prepackaged ideal of what “revolution” is supposed to look like. So when we see people in the streets battling security forces, waving flags, all within the backdrop of their burning society, we are satisfied that “revolution” is taking place. But the reality is, this is not a revolution by any stretch of the imagination. It is a high-tech, high-speed invasion and subjugation... Real revolution will take place when people realize what indeed is really happening, who is behind it, and then no longer paying into their corrupt system. This translates into boycotting the corporate combines behind the very policies we deplore, and replacing “their” system that benefits only them, with our own system that solely benefits ourselves. Some may be skeptical of whether or not boycotting and replacing the elitist system that currently domineers mankind is even possible, however it is already taking place. The alternative media is one such example...'

'#Erudite vs. lulz: Being erudite on the internet and actually arguing is like running in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded. Wait, why's that? Well, the Interwebs basically allow us to constantly invoke the Pyrrhonian argument of dispute. This is because a shitload of knowledge is just a few mouseclicks away nowadays. Especially if we take the following rules: #11. All your carefully picked arguments can easily be ignored; #12. Anything you say can and will be used against you; #13. Anything you say can be turned into something else... Like Nietzsche, Anonymous realizes (or used to realize, when it still had a green face) that when you pinpoint the place in an argument that makes us laugh uncontrollably you've pinpointed a place in the argument that is very, very flawed. You've shown that the argument is ridiculous (“laughable”). The best part about all of this is that humour is a lot more universally accessible than ... a reasonable argument is.'

'RT's Rory Suchet discusses the situation in the Middle East with Anthony Wile - the founder and chief editor of the political website TheDailyBell.com.' -- "It's an embarrassingly boring continuation to watch in this Internet Age..."

'The 21st century with its Internet exposure has been as unkind to the powers-that-be as the 20th century was gracious. The 20th century was a kind of promotional bubble, but the bubble has surely been lanced in the 21st. The elite is struggling to keep up. The unrest in the Middle East has surely been inspired by the Anglosphere – which trained Egyptian youth on Western soil to agitate at home – but there is a sense of desperation about these machinations that was never apparent in the 20th century. Nor were CIA black ops discussed in open forum in real time as they are today. The blogosphere not only ferrets out the black ops – WikiLeaks and the like – but in some cases it actually ANTICIPATES them. Almost everything that the Anglosphere does these days is predicted, dissected and – often – debunked. It is hard to build world government by stealth when your methods of operation are well known and no one much believes the rhetoric anymore.'

'Too many people are starting to understand the grandiose and meretricious manipulation that has been created in the name of the modern Western economy. The Internet in particular is helping to show people other, less exploitative ways of creating economic progress (via real free markets and honest money). In fact, the current system carries within it the seeds of its own destruction. It destroys too much and leaves behind too much human wreckage. People grow increasingly angry and their anger is directed nowadays not at "bankers" or "tycoons" but at the system itself. This is what the power elite fears above all, but in our view it is too late to stop the increased knowledge of what is going on along with a realization of the correct targets. Eventually, Western economies will begin to stabilize, and when they do a new era may emerge, one based on the Invisible Hand rather than the merciless grip of the Anglosphere.'

'Richard Maybury: I think Wikileaks is the beginning of what will turn out to be the biggest political development in a thousand years. Or say for the next thousand years. Pretty soon it will be impossible for governments to operate in secrecy and once everybody knows what every government is doing it's going to be a different world. -- Daily Bell: We think the elite is fighting back with false flag operatives. We think Julian Assange might be one. Agree? Richard Maybury: I don't know anything about Mr. Assange personally so I can't really comment on that, but as far as false flag operatives, that has to be a near certainty. Once everybody knows what you are doing your only defense for what you are doing is to spread a bunch of lies so that nobody believes anything. I think that's what governments are probably doing now. They are trying to spread so many lies that no one will believe anything, including the truth.'

'#15. People just know more than they used to. Dictatorships rely not just on the suppression of news but on the suppression of narratives and truth. More or less everything you need to know to make sense of the world is available as freely downloadable content on the internet: and it's not pre-digested for you by your teachers, parents, priests, imams. For example there are huge numbers of facts available to me now about the subjects I studied at university that were not known when I was there in the 1980s. Then whole academic terms would be spent disputing basic facts, or trying to research them. Now that is still true but the plane of reasoning can be more complex because people have an instant reference source for the undisputed premises of arguments. It's as if physics has been replaced by quantum physics, but in every discipline. -- ...are we creating a complete disconnect between the values and language of the state and those of the educated young?'

'These Middle Eastern uprisings are not entirely spontaneous but are in a sense orchestrated by Western powers that be for a variety or reasons. Even the proximate causes – rising food prices and a lack of employment – can be seen as deliberate Western policies designed to create hopelessness and despair that can then be converted to civil unrest at the opportune moment. Fortunately, the truth-telling of the Internet has helped people wake up from the overwhelming mind-control of the 20th century. We think the same process is occurring in the Middle East. Elite manipulations yet continue. The "color revolutions" constitute a shadow-play, even a Dreamtime; participants may yet not know they are being manipulated. Certainly they will not learn of it from the mainstream media which is covering these events in a purely linear fashion, ignoring evidences of manipulation and promoting the uprisings merely as expressions of grievances that must be addressed by new regimes.'

'The Anglo-American power elite has apparently decided to destablize the Middle East in order to create regulatory democracies with an Islamic tinge (an arrogant assumption in my view). The ultimate goal is to butress the war on terror and deliver enhanced authoritarianism to the West – and the Western middle classes that are always the targets of the elite. But as usual, the Internet has apparently upset elite plans. WikiLeaks could have released these cables at any point. They did it yesterday, apparently. It is as if the collective hand of the elite has been forced. Yes, it seems to me that with its plans exposed, Western elites may have decided to take credit for the Middle Eastern uprisings. Perhaps the UK Telegraph became the designated conduit. Why is it a desperate maneuver? Because the average youthful Egyptian or Tunisian is not going to look kindly on the idea that he and his world is being manipulated yet again by ruthless Western powers-that-be.'

'No centralized leadership: this is not the Muslim Brotherhood, or El Baradei ... This is true grassroots when you see it in action. People coordinating via Twitter and Facebook. No one giving marching orders. Regular people: people from all walks of life are there. Rich actors, poor youth, lawyers, journalists, movie director, women, girls, etc. This is not exclusively for religious or poor people. It is everyone. Different people: see above. Fear barrier has been broken: Egyptians finally got over the fear they have been living with for 60 years, and starting to confront the regime. My father was afraid. I was afraid. The new generation New media: in the 1960s to 1980s, the government could control the media, because it was all state owned, or they can ban it (newspapers). Starting in the 90s, things changed. There was satellite TV that broke borders, and the internet of course. Today, there are ways for people to communicate that the government can't control (completely at least).'

'[Meyssan's] main point: The revolution, manipulated by Western intelligence agencies, has begun to spiral out-of-control. The Western media, as Meyssan points out, has attempted to portray the Jasmine Revolution as a valid expression of a people's aspirations toward freedom. The elite continues to struggle. With the advent of the Internet, the most precious commodity of all, the ability to fully shape a promotional message has been all but lost. We think [Assange] and WikiLeaks may in fact be an elite promotion of sorts. Meyssan believes that the hacker "Anonymous" is a kind of psyops as well. We've pointed out this possibility, too. We note that the mainstream media tried to draw a linkage between the Tunisian revolution and WikiLeaks – but this interpretation has not generated a consensus. In the 20th century, the [elite] have had no problem establishing such a narrative (WikiLeaks supposedly exposed Ben Ali's corruption and sparked a revolution); in the 21st century they cannot.'

'The Internet may be a force for fragmentation rather than consolidation. Just because one is able to connect with others around the world, doesn't mean inevitability that the world draws closer together from a geopolitical standpoint. "Globalization" is an artificial phenomeon driven by an Anglo-American power elite eager to consolidate further power. It seems to us that, absent government coercion, the Internet will continue to empower individuals in terms of direct action and human knowledge. Human beings ultimately use tools to master their own environments, not to create a one-world, ["global villages"]. Only the power elite is truly interested in global governance, so far as we can tell; most people just want to be left alone. We recall that the Gutenberg press gave rise to a rediscovery of ancient knowledge and the vibrant city-states of the Renaissance. This is often how technology operates; it empowers the individual within a chosen society.'

'Dominant Social Theme: Find a job, invest, save and then retire. -- The unraveling of American prosperity has to be regarded as the single most significant event that most American citizens young or old will face in their lifetime. In Europe, the comfortable myths about socialism have given way to the harsh realities of modern austerity. Meanwhile, the American Dream is unraveling "across the pond." The idea that municipalities would be able to continue to provide an endless array of upscale social and professional services – education, housing, civil services – is being exposed as a chimera. The whole issue of money creation was off-limits in the 20th century (how long ago that seems) and the result was a mythos that people grew up believing regarding their "prosperity" because they had no way of determining the truth. The Internet has provided an unexpected education. Elite media continue to play the beguiling tunes of 20th century Dreamtime, but for many the music has stopped.'

'The Internet, with its combination of narrow-band and broad-band presentation has allowed for the dissemination of blunt central banking critiques along with detailed examinations of the central banking problem. Central banking is price fixing of the quantity and price of money and price-fixing is an anti-market activity that must always fail, leaving lesser or greater ruin in its wake. The result has been that the hitherto leftist oriented intelligentsia is waking up to the enormous destruction of the global central banking economy. This sort of paradigm shift must eventually be reflected in the media as well; the mainstream media must track the evolution of a culture's intelligentsia or lose credibility. -- Until the advent of the Internet, [the 'faux-libertarian monetarism vs statist keynesianism' dialectic] was a most effective strategy. But now that central banking is virtually imploding, the elite-dominated mainstream media must begin to acknowledge it.'

'The idea is to inculcate the perception that one is not qualified to make life decisions at any level. Human action must not be taken before the appropriate professional is consulted. As the cult of the expert erodes, society will change. It might be said that the only real expert is the individual himself – and the only determinant of expertise is the way a decision interacts with the market in a real-life context. In a sense, therefore, experts and expertise are a kind of dominant social theme – promoted by the elite. People are taught to defer their own "human action" to those who have advanced degrees and illusory authority. Doctors, scientists, lawyers and politicians – all are to be seen as experts, repositories of hard-won knowledge not available to the ordinary citizen. But in the end, the Invisible Hand will have the final say, not the "expert." The market is the final arbiter. The higher authority is natural law, not an advanced degree.'

'Dominant Social Theme: We shall overcome. Regulatory democracy shall be expanded. Free-Market Analysis: In this article, we hope to show that where the US – and Europe, too – are headed has nothing much to do with business-as-usual. This is a dangerous time. The elite is unfathomably powerful yet; its injuries will make it angry. We will explore why the elite simply cannot fathom that its situation has changed radically and why sooner or later the realization that it may have to take a step back will sink in. The truth-telling of the Internet is forcing changes – and placing the elite on a kind of knife-edge... The global economic downturn has been worse than imagined and aggravated by the communications revolution and globalized network technology. Investments, social systems and the Way the World Works in the 21st century will all be determined by whether the elite can manage to create a version of the New World Order as it evidently and obviously wishes, or whether it cannot.'

'"Out of chaos, order" may guide the actions of globalists, but there is such a thing as too much chaos. The Greater Recession provided people with an impetus to read about alternative economics on the Internet... The truth-telling of the Internet has begun to have an impact. "Austerity" provided the trigger. The seeds were planted long ago, with the spread of mercantilist central banking around the world. In 2008, however the post-war system finally failed. Since it failed, the powers-that-be have printed about US$50 trillion in phony currencies to try to prop up the system. The nonsensical "banking" industry has been "bailed out" – though commercial banks are merely the distribution arm of central banks. They are not for the most part necessary, and have distorted Western economies terribly. Nonetheless, they have been preserved along with the rest of the ruinous system. It is this system that the powers-that-be are trying desperately to preserve.'

It may merely take a step backwards, its plans for global governance damaged, its ability to manipulate the masses secretly exposed, its plans for a smooth evolution of money power eroded. In fact, we believe that any realistic assessment of the dominant social themes that the elites use to promote their goals, will have to recognize that they are not nearly so persuasive as they once were. Without anymore ado, I am proud to present the Anglo-American power elite's top ten dominant social themes (DSTs) for 2010 – and the reality of their implementation. ... Dear reader, it has indeed been our pleasure to provide a consistent and reliable form of elite meme reporting to you, day in day out.

'...from what might be called the Communications Security Administration (CSA), we can expect a 'no send' list. If you're on the list, you can't send or post messages, and no reasons will be given. They will be arbitrarily restricting your ability to connect with people remotely. Consider also the invasive screening process at airports. Everyone is treated as a potential terrorist, until they pass the invasive screening process. Similarly, every message anyone tries to send will be treated as a 'potential cyber threat', until it passes an invasive 'threat filter'. Google is already deploying such a filter, and calling it a spam filter. Air travel and the Internet have been the 'great global connectors', of people and of ideas. The thrust of 'security' measures has had little to do with terrorism, and everything to do with making 'connection' more and more difficult. WikiLeaks is indeed the 9/11 of the Internet.'

'#6. Shifting Psychology = Shifting Power: 2011 will bring a psychological shift in individuals and groups. Social media, social networks, and mobile technologies have caused a fundamental change in the core assumptions about how the world works. People are more publicly expressive and vocal. Expectations of having voice don't exist in a vacuum. If you speak, you want to be heard. This will redefine relationships at all levels of society: between business and consumers, governments and people, teachers and students, and social and cultural groups. #11. Creative Problem-Solving: Low technological hurdles, collective information pools, global access and real-time information inspire creative solutions to problems. Empowerment, agency, and technological competence and the belief that individuals can make a difference will fuel a massive flood of Do-It-Yourself solutions to everything from job creation to philanthropy.'

'While the Hegelian Dialectic is a great society molding tool, it has one logical flaw: At certain times of great social stress the elite has to readjust the dialectic to include arguments that it had dealt with previously but which are reappearing. What this means practically is that it has to reintroduce spokespeople to represent the side of the argument that it has already left behind. If society in some fashion has reignited a debate that the elite believed was already doused, then the elite is a position of re-endorsing perspectives that it had intentionally done away with. This is what is happening now. What the elite may have failed to grasp is that the control mechanisms of the 20th century are not configuring the conversation in the desired manner in the 21st. ...the Internet is a process not an episode. The Anglo-American axis is a linear enterprise with a single focus, apparently: world government. But linear solutions are not going to work in the Internet era.'

'Dominant Social Theme: These hackers are simply irresponsible. -- Free-Market Analysis: All of a sudden, as a result of Julian Assange's imprisonment, a dominant theme that we never expected to be challenged so soon is front and center. The idea of state monopoly justice has suddenly come under fire by a group of young hackers that are questioning how the state defines criminality. ...we believe that we are witnessing, therefore, yet another important turning point in the evolution of Internet technology. A meme (state monopoly justice), one we did not imagine would be much questioned for years to come, is right in the middle of the current news cycle and larger news conversation. Whether the it is controlled or not is almost beside-the-point. Larger issues are now on the table. We would anticipate over the next few years that the whole issue of Admiralty law will become a good deal more high-profile.'

"You thought he was your guy," the senior man said quietly. "But maybe he was in the mix all along." The junior man looked startled. "OK. Or maybe he's gone off the reservation." "He's sure getting news coverage. One article every two minutes at its height. That doesn't happen to everybody. Has to be ... arranged. So perhaps plans have changed. Maybe the idea is to admit a lot more now. And to build this guy up as the other side of the Hegelian dialectic. The trick is to win over those who don't believe. You have to appeal to the ones who DISTRUST the new order of things." "So someone like him—" the junior man said, glancing sideways. "Persecuted - Jailed." "Sure, he becomes the guy, the chosen one." "Someone who turns the Internet upside down—even gives us the rationale to crack down if we need to." "Exactly," the senior man said. "The other half of the dialectic."

'Where does it end? Americans must undergo virtual strip-searches when they try to take a plane. And DHS is expanding both X-ray devices and "pat-downs" to other venues. These will include subways, ferries and even sporting events. As war-on-terror paranoia seeps into the body-politic like a poison, people increasingly distrust each other. Perhaps one day America will resemble Cuba with its block leaders designated to report anything suspicious. Ordinarily we would be gloomy about America's prospects, and the West's in general. But despite what the Anglo-American power elite seems to have in mind – a gradual removal of every kind of human and civil right – there is much in our view that was NOT planned for. The Internet itself is working powerfully against the kind of rights abuses taking place throughout the West and notably in America. It is organizing opposition in ways that the elite doubtless never expected. The Internet loses nothing and forgets nothing.' -- Expect us.

'The comparison between the Gutenberg press and today's Internet is a point we constantly drive home (as readers and Bell feedbackers know well). It was technology itself, specifically the Gutenberg press, that shattered the Dark Ages and brought about the Renaissance, etc. One could even argue that the formation of the Illuminati (a Jesuit-inspired group) was in a sense created to take back what had been lost. It was intended to reassert, secretly, the degraded power of the elites. The parallels remain strong in our view. Utilize the Gutenberg press as a kind of historical touchstone and interpretation of modern events becomes easier. We would not be surprised, for instance, if Julian Assange has some sort of relationship to Western intelligence agencies. The Venetians seem to have encouraged Martin Luther. Likewise, we are not surprised by the angry reaction to Assange's efforts. Just as the elites lost control of Martin Luther (in our view) so they may be losing control of Assange.'

'A vicious crisis has driven Western citizens to their electronic boxes as they search desperately for a way to understand what has happened to their once-predictable worlds. It has happened before. History is not written by Great Men, by wars or even natural disasters. History is the outcome of a struggle between power elites who create "history" and the great masses of people who only occasionally understand that they are being manipulated to the benefit of a determined few. Technology plays a big role in this struggle, for it is through new communication technologies that masses are occasionally awakened from their slumber – dreamtimes – to confront the reality of their manipulations and the danger of their aggregate plight.
