'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.'

'Joseph Kony is among the top political geniuses to ever walk the face of the planet. Formulating a plan to unite both jungle-bunnies and trendies (as both are unwashed, illiterate organ bags) under his regime, this hero abducts niglets in Uganda and single-handedly provides them with a brighter future by turning them into efficient patriots of President Kony. To further propagate his rule, Kony has efficaciously utilized various social media platforms, and the dim-witted Americans that come with them so that he may, in the words of out of work iMovie expert and convicted child-beater Jason Russell, escalate to celebrity status.'

'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.'

'KONY 2012 is less of a documentary than it is a highly efficient infomercial that is tailor-made for the Facebook generation, using state-of-the-art marketing techniques to make its point. Young people like “underground movements” and want to feel like they are changing the world. KONY 2012 taps into these needs to bring about something that is not “hip” or “underground” at all: A military operation in Uganda. Not only that, it urges the participants of the movement to order stuff, to wear bracelets that are associated with an online profile and to record their actions in social media. This makes KONY 2012 the first artificially created movement that is fully track-able, monitor-able and quantifiable by those who engendered it. In other words, what appears to be a movement “from the people” is actually a new way for the elite to advance its agenda. By creating this “movement” and making young people actually DEMAND the U.S. government intervene in Africa, the masterminds behind this campaign would manage the impossible: Reversing the propaganda model in order to make it emanate from the people. By doing so, the elite’s agenda is not only accepted by the masses, it is perceived as a victory by them.' -- Pied Pipers are piping.

'And thus the Brits crow ... again. Or to put it more precisely, the Anglosphere power elite that is apparently behind much of this weary world's destruction and bloodshed. Why do they "allow" the release of this article on a functionary media of their own control (the BBC)? Because "they" are interested in ensuring that developing country politicos get the message. The Brits are back and if you don't listen to 'em, you could find yourself dead and lying in a meat freezer for three or four days until your body is dumped in the desert in an unmarked grave. The message couldn't be clearer. A New World Order is headed your way. And you'd better cooperate. The warning has been sent. That was the reason as well, in our view, for all the Gaddafi videos that were floating around the Internet. Right now, the elites have turned to violence and authoritarianism to try to damp the effects of what we call the Internet Reformation. But from what we can tell, it didn't work the first time, and there's no reason to think it will work now. People won't voluntarily obey just because they might end up dead, buggered and dumped into an unmarked desert grave. Violence, long-term, is not a relevant solution to social control. It can work for a while but eventually, belief systems need to be inculcated. The best slaves are the ones who don't know they are enslaved. Otherwise, long-term, it doesn't have the requisite impact.'

'The idea is that a technocracy of the elite can present candidates who are the most "competent" at administration. The corollary to this, of course, is that one must accept EVERY FACET of the CURRENT system to accept that one is voting purely for competence. In other words, if people do not like the current corporatist/authoritarian/totalitarian/militarized state that is being constructed around them, they're simply plumb out of luck. That's because the candidates on this "best of all worlds" won't be running on how to CHANGE what's going on – only on how to administer it BETTER. The idea, of course, is to ensure that any discussion of the FAILURES of government ends up providing an anodyne – that is a solution that INCLUDES MORE government. In other words, government is a terrible problem and the only solution is to increase it and make it better and more responsive – and larger and larger. The absurd end result of such a point of view is an all-encompassing government stretching around the world with ever-vaster resources. The additional resources will be needed to police government itself. In other words, as the corruption grows, so the resources of government must grow.' -- Pied pipers are piping.

'...increasing awareness of geoengineering as a result of the chemtrails phenomenon has propagated widely, authorities are slowly being forced to disclose certain aspects of the program. We are now not far away from full disclosure of the true extent of geoengineering experimentation. Scientists now admit that vapor trails from aeroplanes are creating “artificial clouds” that block out the sun. This is no longer a matter of debate. The chemtrail “conspiracy theorists” were proven correct. Geoengineering programs conducted by politically-driven scientists who have proven adept at covering up and ignoring contradictory evidence in the global warming debate should not be empowered with the authority and funding to conduct such dangerous tests without a major public debate about the potential consequences. The fact that individuals who embrace the dogma of global warming, alarmism which has already killed more people than man-made climate change in the third world through starvation linked to food price hikes caused by biofuel production, are now preparing to launch programs with government approval that could drastically alter weather patterns and cause droughts, is frightening.' -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxp_ejtTj_w

'The power elite that wants to make a transition from nation-states to one-world government needs to establish the cult of the expert, or at least to re-establish it. Enter the technocrat. In fact, the meme is historical in nature. Ever since Plato saw shadows on a cave wall (and long before, probably), the idea that "experts" could run the world has been popular. Leaders are always given extraordinary powers and said to possess unusual foresight and wisdom, though usually they don't have either. Right now, the EU is in the midst of an elite takeover whereby those who run the larger EU organization are now assuming roles within the nation-states themselves. -- Hubbert invented Peak Oil in our view to buttress his case for a technocratic class. He needed a problem in order to pose his solution. Technocrats often suggest technology-focused solutions and approach governmental problems with a "problem-solution mindset." The technocracy movement's influence may be seen within the modern "cult of technology" and the idea of an advanced "information society." This fits in quite well with the idea that central bankers are good, gray men engineering the volume and price of money for the benefit of us all. It is surely an important theme. And it is one that might have worked up until, say, two years ago. But now this meme is in trouble.'

'NASA reported 5 years ago that the earth is now receiving at least 20% less sunlight than 10 years before. After 16 years of denial, the White House Science Czar John P Holdren now admits that they have been "testing" the manipulation of Earth's atmosphere with Barium salts, Aluminum Dioxide and other toxic compounds. Bottom line: there is a world-wide secret program to manipulate the atmosphere. They admit it's happening, but they won't tell us why.' -- LOOKCRIME. EYES ARE LIES. THIS WARN YOU.

'History will record that an Arab Spring swept across the Middle East and Northern Africa and turned dictatorships into Islamic democratic republics. History will also show, we tend to believe, that the West has been challenged to reshape this radical Islamic surge along more "democratic" lines. It's all a lie, of course. It's all "directed." The 20th century appears to us to be "full on" directed history and right now the same appears for the 21st. There's plenty of evidence these modern "revolutions" were spawned by the Anglo-American elites, determined to continue their advance toward one-world government. Various groups, affiliated perhaps with the CIA, were set up to promulgate "revolution." AYM is one such American/globalist movement and obviously has ties to the US state department and large US corporations. Now the "revolution" has come to America and is masquerading as Occupy Wall Street. -- In the 20th century one could foment world war. In the 21st that's a lot harder because of nuclear weapons. It's one reason the elites have turned to the amorphous, phony war on terror. But it's not enough, not at all. They need something bigger. That's what's going on in our estimation now. They're building something bigger.'

'Dominant Social Theme: The problems in the world today can all be tracked back to the big corporations – the corporatocracy that runs the world. -- Who runs the corporations? Hm-mm. It seems to us that the corporations and Wall Street itself would not exist in their current world-spanning posture without CENTRAL BANKING and the ability of those who supervise the mechanism to print endless amounts of money from nothing. This is what is rapidly turning the world into a single, large banana republic, or more grimly, a global gulag. Why Ms. Wolf cannot see this is a mystery to us. With so much information available on the Internet about central banking and the elite clique that evidently and obviously runs it, one could be forgiven for beginning to think that those who point fingers at corporations, or even politicians, are practicing a form of disinformation. Because of the Internet and what we call the Internet Reformation, the mercantilist strategy has been well exposed of late and the Anglosphere power elite that is behind the greater manipulation doesn't like it. They have counterattacked, just as they did during the era of the Gutenberg Press, by creating populist movements to confuse people about the real culprits. But just as happened then, these movements eventually shall spin out of control, creating results that support freedom in ways that the elites fear but cannot control. In the meantime, we have to put up with Occupy Wall Street – which is not controlled at the "street" level but is certainly controlled at the top.' -- Pied pipers are piping

'Dominant Social Theme: Workers unite! There is an emergency! The world is warming! Al Gore tried to explain it! The UN tried to fix it! Now it is up to us! Never mind that it doesn't exist – it's still important! It's the best way to realize the one-world ambitions of the power elite to whom we are beholden! Oops! Shouldn't have said that. (We got carried away.) -- Free-Market Analysis: The Anglosphere elites are trying everything they can to implement "solutions" to the non-existent problem of global warming and now it seems they've set their controlled Occupy Wall Street movement to the task. Adbusters has proudly posted a screed on the new OWS "news" website calling for a global decentralized protest movement that will focus on, of all things, global warming. OWS at the top is increasingly a stalking horse for the UN's unrealized agenda. What could not be gained so far by the UN because of resolute opposition via principled people (mostly patriotic Americans) is to be achieved by a manipulated movement of "people power" that is supposed to sweep all before it. How do you combat the world's growing recognition that the 20th century was nothing but elite-directed history? You used MORE directed history. Watch how OWS evolves.' -- Obvious obvious is obvious

'Dominant Social Theme: There is a limit! These greedy thugs on Wall Street need to be taxed to an inch of their lives. And if we get taxed the same way, well, darn it, it'll be worth it. -- If there is any single thing that shows Occupy Wall Street is a controlled opposition, the idea that its ideas resonate within weeks with the US Congress and the larger global power structure should at least give one pause. OWS has called for a moratorium on student college loans. Now President Barack Obama is moving a bill through Congress to give students relief. OWS has called for mortgage relief and that's on its way, too. OWS has called for a transaction tax on Wall Street trades, and now THAT bill is being moved in Congress. Watching OWS-types, the mainstream media and the political classes (under the control of Money Power) perform their elaborate dance is sort of amusing, or it would be if the consequences weren't so dire. It's not enough that the elites control money. They have to have access to everybody's trade information as well. That way they can control markets even more than they do and reap even more money by front-running the market than they already do. At the very least, a transaction tax for America is the beginning of a back-door VAT – a value added tax of the sort that the elites have been aching to saddle the US middle class with. There can never be too many taxes, after all. The middle class is to be ground into dust with these taxes.'

'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.'

'Marcuse said that you could never break the spell. That however much you took American culture and played rebelliously with it, you would always remain possessed by it. But this would set in motion a terrible logic within the New Left that would lead to a creeping distrust of all dreams of the future. ...in 1964 Marcuse became pessimistic. He wrote another book called One Dimensional Man. He had realised, he said, that capitalist society was far more manipulative than he had imagined. It had learnt how to take those desires and feed the masses spurious, addictive pleasures that enslaved them. This wasn't liberation – it was a dark world of what looked on the surface like an entrancing modern culture in which sex was discussed and portrayed openly, but really it was all cheap gratifications and stupefying pleasures that blotted out true human needs. Marcuse gripped the student left because he describe the revolution in a completely new way. The struggle was in your heads as much as in the streets. It was summed up in a slogan - There is a Policeman Inside All Our Heads. He must be Destroyed.'

'Dominant Social Theme: There is no great private conspiracy to run the world. It's just a bunch of corporations. Blame capitalist greed, but don't ever blame the great central banking families. They don't even exist. -- Free-Market Analysis: The Internet is aflame with conspiracy theories about a small group of impossibly wealthy central banking families and their enablers and associates. These include corporate, religious, financial and military personnel. Now this same power elite has, in our view, struck back with a meme of its own. Yes, power is centralized, but it's CORPORATE power. Corporations are to blame. This is, endlessly, a strategy seized from the same weary playbook, offered up over and over again. The Rothschilds, for instance, along with other central banking families evidently and obviously run the BIS and other central banking paraphernalia. The Rothschilds virtually created Israel and built its Knesset and Supreme Court building, with all its Illuminati symbolism. We are supposed to believe this family and others like them are mere bystanders – puppets of the corporations in which they actually hold massive private interests and actively run?'

'Editor's Alert: The Vatican has called for a central bank for the world along with a global tax on transactions. It seems to us that it becoming increasingly difficult for anyone to deny the collusion between the great central banking families and their enablers and co-conspirators ... including the Vatican and Jesuit "Black Church." The Anglosophere elite is moving RAPIDLY toward world government, far more rapidly than one might have expected even a few years ago. See this lede from Reuters: The Vatican called on Monday for the establishment of a “global public authority” and a “central world bank” to rule over financial institutions that have become outdated and often ineffective in dealing fairly with crises. The document from the Vatican’s Justice and Peace department should please the “Occupy Wall Street” demonstrators and similar movements around the world who have protested against the economic downturn. “Towards Reforming the International Financial and Monetary Systems in the Context of a Global Public Authority,” was at times very specific, calling, for example, for taxation measures on financial transactions.' -- Pied pipers are piping.

'Where is the transparency meme coming from? Like so many things, it is apparently being promoted by the elite itself. In fact, there is a group called Transparency International, founded by a former senior executive of the World Bank, which promotes the idea that a transparent government is a perfected one. "Transparency" has seemingly been identified as a way to resuscitate the idea of government as a moral and economic necessity. In fact, both of these themes, transparency and direct democracy, are seemingly an attempt by the Anglosphere power elite to offer a solution to the drawbacks of modern governance via the use of the Internet. ...the elite's think-tank mavens at Tavistock believe they have hit on a promotion that appeals to youngsters while fulfilling its larger agenda of rehabilitating generally the concept of government. Government is a necessary part of world control. No government, no elite control.'

"We demand global democracy. Global governance for the people and by the people. Today we demand replacing the G8 with the whole of humanity: the G7,000,000,000." -- What have you bought into; what will it cost to buy you out?

'Prior to the worldwide OWS-inspired protests on October 15, a group of prominent leftists “issued a manifesto that includes a strong call for global democracy and, in particular, democratic rule over the international financial system,” reports UNPA Campaign. Instead of calling for abolishing globalist networks such as the IMF, the WTO, multinational banks, the G8/G20, the European Central Bank and the UN security council, the manifesto calls for “democratizing” them. Supporters of the text, including Naomi Klein, Vandana Shiva, Michael Hardt, Noam Chomsky, and Eduardo Galeano, say “our global institutions” must be democratized or overturned. They accept that “more than ever before, global forces shape people’s lives” and “citizens of the world must get control over the decisions that influence them in all levels – from global to local. That is global democracy. That is what we demand today.” It should be noted that the manifesto was not produced by the Ford Foundation funded UNPA and the CIA, but its enthusiastic reception by the organization is highly suspicious. The OWS represents both a threat and opportunity for the globalists. It is imperative that they compromise the movement and sell it on a bait-and-switch version of global totalitarianism masquerading as change...' -- PIED PIPERS ARE PIPING

'In the 20th century, historical evidence produced by the Internet increasingly shows that the Anglosphere elites used countries like Russia and Germany as laboratories to try out different methodologies of social control. In fact, when the real history of the 21st century comes to be codified (and it will be) the narrative will likely show that every aspect of Western society (especially) was focused on the elite goal of a new world order. Everything – absolutely everything – was focused on this goal. Money was securitized and central banks created to appropriate industrial wealth and middle-class power; sexual mores were exploded and politicized to destroy the family unit; public schools were greatly expanded to indoctrinate children with statist nostrums; woman's lib was introduced to assure women it was OK to work – and to leave their children in the care of the state; history itself was perverted and realigned according to the false "great-man model. Today, we think we see dimly yet another realignment of the elite's dominant social themes. The new ones, as we have noted, will focus on global government – and on making that kind of government work better through "transparency," direct democracy and a political infrastructure emphasizing "green communalism."'

'Dominant Social Theme: We want justice for the world and the UN will give it to us. -- Free-Market Analysis: Kalle Lasn, founder of Adbusters magazine, based in Vancouver, B.C. – the magazine that issued the call for the initial Occupy Wall Street protests – has called on people to protest the upcoming G20 while demanding a one-percent tax on financial transactions. The revenue raised would be enormous and the lingering question is where this incredible revenue stream would be directed. The answer is obvious to those who follow what we call "directed history." The intention is likely to fund the UN as part of a final push to rationalize and perfect the initial stages of true world government. As we have written before, the movement toward world government is happening very quickly now. The ramifications are enormous and people who write off these protests as spontaneous and short-lived are not grasping what is taking place, in our humble opinion. The one-percent tax has been a staple of United Nations demands for more than a decade. Google UN and "one-percent tax" and plenty of information will appear – over three million citations, in fact.' -- Pied pipers are piping

'These self-appointed "leaders" (who do not exist, they say) such as DeGraw and Assange seem to have outsized clout in a movement that is supposed to be grass-roots and consultative. The non-leadership of OWS seems intent on focusing the movement directly on Wall Street and its captains of greed, despite dissenting voices and libertarian involvement. Zero Hedge carried an article yesterday warning about the scapegoating of Wall Street as a "catalyst for class warfare." The article cited a new poll commissioned by The Hill concluding that, "in the minds of likely voters, Washington, not Wall Street, is primarily to blame for the financial crisis and the subsequent recession." This does not seem to bother DeGraw who merrily soldiers forward as the scourge of Wall Street. Talk of guillotines, of the French Revolution and class warfare (that inevitably ends in the bloodshed of the middle class that DeGraw is supposedly avenging) seem not to bother him. Is DeGraw aware of history's lessons? If you don't change the system the problems will reoccur. Sure, punish people if it makes you feel good. Hang 'em high. Behead them. But first do SOMETHING SERIOUS. Confront the real issue, which is money creation and the euphorias it causes.'

'... In fact, there is no such thing as "global justice." There is no such things as a "human rights violation." But this dominant social theme is being pounded home by the elites who seek a one-world future and need global justice to accompany it. Human rights violations are an especially egregious meme. It is part of the magic trick performed by the elites in which important personal issues are to be embraced by impersonal concepts such as "countries" and "corporations," etc. The idea is always to make the specific generic and then to provide a globalist solution applied by internationalist structures controlled by this same elite. State justice – the current public paradigm – is unfortunately inequitable in every way. The state makes the rules, passes the laws, pays for the policing to enforce the laws, the lawyers who prosecute them, the courtroom that houses the judicial process and the penitentiaries that house the unfortunate victims of this monopoly of force.'

'A modest if nightmarish scenario ... Suddenly, the world's economy is entirely under water – savings savaged; jobs non-existent; even food and water in short supply for some reason. Now the elites make their solutions known ... Buttressed by the roiling populist protests of Occupy Wall Street, supported by Julian Assange's transparency meme, the powers-that-be take advantage of the starvation and chaos facing not just the West, but the world. With all the persuasive force of the controlled media, they will offer the globe's tortured billions the vision of a compassionate and efficient global government. They campaign for direct democracy to ensure world government is both fair and equitable. It will become apparent, eventually, that Assange's WikiLeaks model provides the transparency that is necessary to erect a feasible model of global governance. Handsome Assange himself shall assume a high position in world government (a man other men envy and women hope to marry). Finally, the elites will offer up the IMF's SDRs as the new world currency. -- Conclusion: Does all this strike you as far-fetched? Heck, we're just speculatin' ....'

'To conflate Wall Street – as an industry, anyway – with central banking is simply wrong. One is an evolution of the free market. The other hides behind it. Put central banking out of business and the worst excesses of Wall Street will almost immediately become a thing of the past. Put Wall Street out of business and central bankers will reconstitute over the weekend. Money Power lies with central banks, run by the Anglosphere power elite. These elites are quite prepared to sacrifice Wall Street. They WANT to regulate the private sector. Regulate it until it is cold as a corpse so that they can re-animate as they choose. The more laws there are, the better they do. The process is called mercantilism. The powers-that-be CONTROL governments. Pass a law and you are only adding to their arsenal. In fact, the leaders of Occupy Wall Street are DELIBERATELY turning the movement into a populist protest that looks to government for changes that will make societies work better. It is evident and obvious. Who knows who they work for – but evidently they are not who and what they say they are. We wish we were wrong.'

What's the alternative media's verdict? Occupy Wall Street has been fomented with organizational elements of the US State Department and its AYM arm, abetted no doubt by the FBI, CIA and other Intel organizations. Funding nominally is being provided via Adbusters magazine, which gets its funding through Soros-managed entities among others and its direct democracy approach from pseudo anarchist David Graeber. The movement, ultimately, will refract numerous memes set up by the power elite in its pursuit of global governance. It is apparently designed as a kind of Trojan Horse to get as many young Western adults as possible involved with it. This sheds illumination on the overseas "youth movements" as well, which provide a precedent for Occupy Wall Street, which in its planned expansion may be constitute a final surge toward a one-world state. This cannot be the last word, however. The elites will drive home their narrative via the mainstream media and if anyone questions the craziness of a "leaderless" worldwide movement, the Washington Post is there with its rebuttal. The article seeks to make a case for the evolution of anarchism as methodology of positive change. This is weird because previously the Anglosphere elites have always used anarchism within a negative context. But not now.'

'Many are eager to transfer the system of money printing from central banks like the Federal Reserve to PUBLIC central banks that would be under the control of federal and state officials. For this reason the PRIVATE nature of central banking is often emphasized, though the Fed is not by any means entirely a private entity. In fact, it didn't even come into being until an Act of Congress was passed in 1913 authorizing it. Central banks like the Fed are what we call MERCANTILIST. That is they hide behind the power and authority of government to pursue private business goals. They use the color of government for private gain. Inevitably they are not entirely private entities. They cannot be. Central bank apologists like Ellen Brown have campaigned to ensure that people believe central banks like the Fed are ENTIRELY private when they are not. This is because "Brownians" (and others) want to propose that central banks be owned outright by public entities. If it must be tried, it should be attempted within the ambit of monetary competition and without naming the central bank printed money as the sole legal tender. When it comes to money, private markets should have a chance to compete. Absent the force of law, they will win every time.'

'Nobody ever said the Anglosphere power elite in aggregate was stupid – and its fear-based promotions can work at a fairly sophisticated level. This direct democracy meme is not only a sophisticated one, it's one of the most ambitious we think we've seen yet. This is the shot heard round the world. The Big Kahuna. This may be the beginning of the final push for world government. The emphasis on consensus is startling. It's very clever, too, a way of exercising dominance without seeming to. There are now Youtube videos in which you can see the chanting ritual that takes place between the supposedly leaderless groups and "moderators," leading to an eventual "decision." Oh, poor children! Youngsters are so impressionable at that age stuck between childhood and adulthood. They are being manipulated in our opinion.-- Direct Democracy could be presented as the solution, the vehicle (along with the Internet) whereby "transparency" is facilitated.'

'Is it "conspiratorial" to ask why? The whole one-world-order campaign is a conspiracy, in fact. It's managed by a tiny coterie of central banking families and their economic, political, business, religious and military enablers. They've created and pursued this conspiracy for decades, for centuries. And with appropriate Freudian projection, they point fingers at their critics and scream "conspiracy" when anyone dares to analyze what is evidently and obviously occurring. Obama finds the Occupy Wall Street protests compelling. Writing for the most influential liberal newspaper in America, Krugman finds them clearly appropriate: "The protesters' indictment of Wall Street as a destructive force, economically and politically, is completely right." For us, Krugman's column and Obama's speech on the same day seem no coincidence. It is part of a larger orchestrated conspiracy to whip up resentment against "capitalism" worldwide. The results are to be some sort of international regulatory regime, perhaps, that will do much to usher in far more aggressive global governance. It is the next step in an apparent conspiracy to create a one-world order.'

'...we've written about the dominant social theme of transparency for a while now because we see it as a kind of last gasp of the Anglosphere elite that is desperately trying to bring the Internet Reformation under control. The Anglosphere power elite was caught by surprise by the vehemence of the Internet revolution and by the illumination it cast on elite activities. It turns out that many if not most of the major wars, financial crises and resource scarcities may be part of what we have come to call "directed history." As their memes have fallen apart and the libertarian intelligentsia has become steadily more informed about the way the world really works, the mask has begun to slip. The smile has melted away, revealing the death-head skull beneath. Violence and force is gradually taking the place of persuasion. And meanwhile, a search is on for something – anything – that can be used to justify government and its relevance. Transparency fits the bill.'

'What we call the Internet Reformation – the era of the Internet – has provided a good deal more information on the way the world works. It's helped people understand why government doesn't work and why regulations are generally pernicious and usually encourage the very trends they are supposed to prevent. But education only goes so far; and it's an ongoing process. In response, the Anglosphere power elite that we write about regularly has fought back. It's been trying to crank up the "blame Wall Street" theme for several years now. Now, finally, it's catching on. Unfortunately, Occupy Wall Street has taken a (predictably) anti-free market turn. It's apparently being hijacked by the modern Left, and the rhetoric of individuals involved increasingly mimics the socialist heyday of the early 20th century. On purpose, they are creating a straw man. Free-markets don't really exist these days.' -- Pied pipers are piping

'Dominant Social Theme: People are upset with the way modern societies function and don't believe in 20th century-style democracy. Who knows what the 21st Century will bring, but probably the Internet will play a role in disciplining government and making regulations work better. Transparency is key. The Times says so. -- Something is going on. Some sort of "solution" is being contemplated. We think the solution was supposed to have something to do with WikiLeaks and Julian Assange... Watch for other articles in the Times – or maybe elsewhere – explaining how a generation of young activists is taking to the Internet to REINVENT democracy. Having lost control of the media, the real elites – the Anglosphere central banking families – are plotting to take it back by using the Internet as a mechanism of policy. Those who constantly warn that the Internet is about to be shut down or otherwise censored underestimate the subtlety of Tavistock and other elite institutions of mind control.'

Dominant Social Theme: Look. Depressions happen. But what would you do in 1932? You'd stick it out! By, say, 1960, you'd be back where you were! No problem ... -- Every day of your life you look anxiously in the newspapers to find out what "they" are saying about inflation, about Europe, about the budget crisis and whether taxes are going up. You have a job, but you're worried you're going to be made "redundant." Or maybe your company is going to go out business. Or your skills simply aren't going to be needed anymore. It's your fault, too. Plenty of people are "making it" in the modern world and if you're not it's because you haven't planned properly. You haven't taken the right degrees, focused on the right industry, created the image for yourself. Your fault anyway ... And so you worry. You live with worry. You worry all the time. There are so many outside factors weighing down on you. So much you can't control ... Recession, depression ... global warming, overpopulation ...'

'Dominant Social Theme: Blair started the Libya war. Gaddafi didn't give him and JP Morgan what they wanted and now he's paid a dreadful price. It's all about the money. Modern wars are always about resources. Besides, we're running out of aluminum. Peak Aluminum is only years away! -- The Anglosphere elites have a motive in ensuring the war-for-resources meme is spread about the mainstream media, mainly in leftist newspapers. The idea of greedy, grubbing capitalists is a quite convenient one as it confuses what is actually happening. Much better to blame wars on exploitative corporations than intergenerational familial regimes controlling central banks. Blair ... is being paid to attract heat and light that might otherwise end up striking London's City itself... Blair is yet only a pimple on a larger, uglier visage, though surely a sizeable blemish. -- The roots run much, much deeper. And so does the institutionalized malevolence. Maybe all the way back to Babylon.'

'The great central banking families that want one world government seem to be driving the West toward bankruptcy in order to get their way. Yes, perhaps the economic degeneration will not cease until global governance is achieved. People will be forced to cry out in grief and pain, accepting the political, monetary, military and judicial centralization... They will be driven toward one world government like beasts herded toward an abattoir. Is there some other explanation that makes sense? This economic system with all its dysfunction and ruin is premeditated. It didn't just "evolve." There are central banks all over the world now, where 50 years ago there were not. Most of these report to the Swiss-based BIS. And what the heck is the BIS? Did you ever hear a news item about the BIS? Did you ever see a reporter standing in front of the BIS, explaining what was going on inside? The BIS may as well not exist. It is part and parcel of a system that does not explain itself...'

'Dominant Social Theme: The Afghan war is under control and the perpetrators will be punished. -- Having helped create the "Arab Spring," NATO and the US now face the hard work of keeping it under control. The idea apparently has been to create a large, low-impact war between a resurgent Islam and the West. To this end, a number of secular regimes have been removed in the Middle East and Africa and if we are correct in our perspective, these regimes will be replaced by Islamic Republics. Most of these republics may be influenced by Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, which is penetrated by the CIA at the top. This is how controlled wars are waged. A war is a war. And wars spin out of control or, as in the case of Afghanistan, don't work out so well. The Anglosphere is doing what it can to maintain control. It already has in place a kind of gulag for the Middle East's population of religious young men, many of whom are radicalized by their involuntary incarcerations.'

While the vast majority of memes arise in a perfectly organic manner, driven by the complex mechanisms of life on the Web, some are engineered...'

'As the world focuses its attention on the siege of Tripoli in the NATO-led overthrow of the Libyan government, those very same western powers who are responsible for the war crimes against the citizens of Libya are working behind the scenes to set the stage for yet another potential military intervention, this time with embattled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.' -- The object of waging a war is always to be in a better position in which to wage another war. (George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four)

'The authors warn that extraterrestrials may be wary of civilisations that expand very rapidly, as these may be prone to destroy other life as they grow, just as humans have pushed species to extinction on Earth. In the most extreme scenario, aliens might choose to destroy humanity to protect other civilisations. "Humanity may just now be entering the period in which its rapid civilisational expansion could be detected by an ETI because our expansion is changing the composition of the Earth's atmosphere, via greenhouse gas emissions," the report states. "Green" aliens might object to the environmental damage humans have caused on Earth and wipe us out to save the planet. "These scenarios give us reason to limit our growth and reduce our impact on global ecosystems. It would be particularly important for us to limit our emissions of greenhouse gases, since atmospheric composition can be observed from other planets," the authors write.'

'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.'

'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 world's economy is a kind of planned madhouse. Those in power have inflicted upon it scores of central banks – all busily printing/creating money from nothing at the push of a button. Those who run these central banks are well aware of their ruinous disposition. They understand fully the boom bust cycle that brings bankruptcy and hopelessness to so many. But one does not ever acknowledge this. If one works within the system, one is not supposed to. In the upside-down world of modern finance, central bankers who print money are "hawkish inflation fighters." Politicians who endlessly create the distortive price fixes, called "laws," are "public servants." Corporate leaders who generate profits by linking their companies to the great, grinding machinery of Western legislation are "entrepreneurs." ...the Anglosphere elites also work via OMMISSION. That is, in addition to advocating fear, they actively encourage ignorance. The mendacity is breathtaking.'

'...the dark-suited gentlemen sitting erectly in your office indicating that as a "patriot" and successful businessperson you ought to be helpful to your country, is politely pressuring you. The young man was on a fast track. He wore a hoodie and kept quiet about his government associations. Eventually, like Bill Gates, he'll "donate" his enormous wealth to social causes. Actually, he'll be instructed to. It'll go to some Foundation the Anglosphere elites control. They don't leave outsize fortunes in private hands if they can help it. This is how the elite operates. They both support and control their enablers. One can see it with Julian Assange, another seeming Intel asset. The Economist is trying to present a kind of elite promotion. It is talking up social 'Net media – which the establishment can control fairly easily from the top – at the expense of myriad bloggers and websites. These are the writers and poets one could compare fairly to pamphleteers of days past. Not Zuckerberg.'

'Dominant Social Theme: Heroic rebels, backed by Western support, are going to overthrow the Libyan madman and create democracy. -- It must be obvious to even a casual observer at this point that the war is not about saving civilian lives. That was just a justification, an entry point. There is a supposition, as we have reported in the past, that Gaddafi, like Saddam Hussein before him, planned to refuse dollars-for-oil, intending instead to use a Libyan Dinar tied to a new 'African Gold Standard.' The standard would have been backed by 150 tons of Libyan gold and used in African and Arab countries to cut out Western interests. Libya also controls its own money via the national state banking system and thus removes both BIS and IMF influence. Here is a video by Russia Today on this: http://youtu.be/GuqZfaj34nc -- Nonetheless, our fundamental analysis remains the same. The West attacked Libya as part of a larger strategy ... It is apparently part of an advancement of a new world order.'

'...the Dreamtime the elites were able to create in the 20th century has become exposed for what it is. People no longer believe that investing in the stock market will make them wealthy. It is seen more as a confiscatory situation more ammenable to enriching a few... ...as mercantilist public/private central banking has driven economies into collapse, the elites need to promote the idea of "austerity." They have been waging a campaign to make people feel their governments have been profligate and that the only solution is significant cutbacks. What is left unsaid is that government profligacy is an expectable outcome of central banking overprinting of money. Governments are apt to overspend just as businesses are. The austerity that the elites are trying to impose on Europe has reached Britain's shores. Americans do not realize it yet, but the arguments over the debt ceiling are the first signs that the austerity battle has been joined in the US as well.'

'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.'

'Gone are the days when there was a great philosophical divide between East and West, or between the West's so-called democracies and "communism." Jiabao's speech could have been given by any functionary of the (hopefully tottering) EU. Or even have been delivered by someone from the US State Department. It tends to confirm once more the idea that the powers-that-be are working hard to smooth out differences between major powers. The rhetoric, philosophical overtones and ambitions are statist, but couched in the rhetoric of the marketplace. The idea is that the state sets parameters for capitalism, which then functions within that defined space. It is a kind of soft fascism, though one is never supposed to use the word "fascism." Additionally, in practice, it is not necessarily soft at all. The state is actually in charge of almost every facet of life and corporations, also artificial, statist entities, are merely the receptacles of state power and deliver it to "consumers."'

'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.'

'...Without the ability to print money from nothing, the elites would not be able to start the wars they have prosecuted so promiscuously in the past decade, would not be able to control governments, manipulate universities and their scientists, purchase wholesale the political process, etc. In other words, the ability of Western elites to pursue and impose one world government would be much constrained. Money Power is the gift that keeps on giving. The key to this pusillanimous process of wealth redistribution lies with Federal Reserve. Simply examine the 20th century and its "world wars," all of which occurred AFTER the US Federal Reserve received its brief. ...the central banking promotion is beginning to fail. John Maynard Keynes said not one man in a million understood the current money system. He had it wrong. Today, not one man in a million, if asked, would approve of it. And what happens when millions wake up and rise up in unison? You get the drift, dear reader.'

'Hollywood is ravaging the back issues of Marvel and DC Comics to come up with even marginal characters that can be turned into movies. The attraction of these characters is that they reinforce the dominant social theme of modern Western justice, including the paraphernalia of its court system, adversarial construct and prison system. People are entirely intimidated by the West's current judicial system ...the most ingrained of all modern power-elite memes. People literally cannot conceive of how justice can be gained except by some omnipotent state. Turning people into superheroes to reinforce the status quo is perhaps an emergent elite tool in a larger arsenal. But the bigger issue is mind control generally. From movies to books to television, people are bombarded with dominant and sub dominant social themes. Most people still have a hard time thinking that the world could be organized in another way. War is Peace. Paper money is Gold. The State is Freedom.'

'...we are not surprised at the uncritical coverage that a "merger" between LulzSec and Anonymous is getting. We are instructed to believe that these metaphorical caped avengers met somewhere in a digital ally and decided to wage war against governments everywhere. We are not yet convinced. The language is suspect. A tweet published to the official LulzSec Twitter page, reportedly informed the world that due to the "merger"—however it is consummated—"anarchy is now." Anarchy? What kind of thinking individual uses that sort of phrase? These individuals, whoever they are, are committed to changing the system as it is. Yet we are supposed to believe they do not even know the basic definition of anarchy? Anarchy ... has nothing to do with chaos. Anarchy is the absence of government. And the absence of government, most of it anyway, can be construed as a good thing—presaging MORE logical ways of living with greater prosperity, fewer rules and wars.' -- "Anarchy" is not your personal army

'As the "problem" is marketed, the elites begin to create solutions, well funded private companies that appear to be brainchildren of alert entrepreneurs. In some cases they are; in other cases, the elites may have, initially, a direct hand in the creation of the companies; they are certainly involved in the venture capital funds and hedge funds that provide funding to these start ups. Eventually, these companies are directed toward stock exchanges and the initial, elite partners cash out. The cash-outs is then directed toward markets where it can be swapped for more substantial assets like real estate and gold. The real estate may be held or exploited; the gold is stored in countries like Switzerland using elaborate off-the-books accounting methods. Many such banks work directly for the elites; their other businesses are just for "show." This methodology is well beyond the understanding of most people, unfortunately. The scale at which it operates is almost inconceivable.'

'The serial ruin the BIS inflicts on the world is intended to increase the pressure for centralization – for true world government run by Western elites. This is not conjecture. It is not conspiracy theory. The UN exists; so do the BIS, the World Bank and the IMF. Also, now, the International Criminal Court. All are basically post-World War II Western inventions. Yet those who point that a world government is being erected bit by bit are labeled conspiracy theorists. The conspiracy lies with the power elite that is moving ahead with this unaccountable and dangerous program. The Western power elites have three main thrusts in our humble view to pursue. 1. They have an evident urgent need to continue their lunge toward world government. 2. They have to create war and chaos to do so. (Out of chaos, order.) 3. And finally, they have to ameliorate the damage that is being done to their plans by the Internet. An Internet false flag within this context would be a kind of masterstroke.'

'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 Western mainstream media is filled with memes about civil society generally, and a major one of course is the relative superiority of the Western model of finance and literacy. But in Europe and America this can be seen nowadays as a questionable in our view, where up to 50 percent of certain portions of the population are out of work and dependent on shrinking government subsidies. The Western model is NOT in fact capitalist; it is statist – a statist model that is actually failing. The capitalist society is in fact something of a false front for the elite's accumulation of power. This is why we have called what the Anglo-American elite accomplished in the 20th century a Dreamtime. As Anglosphere elites see the credibility of their economic and cultural tools being questioned, they have returned, as before, to war. This is a repetitive phenomenon. Whenever the elites' program is challenged, the larger society suddenly begins to suffer from chaos and militarism.'

'...what if the "Awakening" in all of its chaos was meant to set up a more polarized Middle East that would confront Israel in an regional war? We know the elites like to follow the road map of religious texts (which predict this sort of thing) because it provides a kind of cover. (Religious texts in this regard may act as a kind of predictive programming.) A war between Israel and the "rest" of the Middle East might entail nuclear weapons and the amount of people killed would make Iraq and Afghanistan look like minor skirmishes. Yet, the drumbeat for war continues. And would the result be a resurgent Israel that won new territory through enormously superior firepower? Would such a war, then, put the West in charge of the Middle East in a way it's never been before? Would it provide the fuel for even more Draconian rights crackdowns at home? Would it somehow place the elites closer to their goal of global governance?'

'...Reich is just one example of what's gone wrong with America's – and the West's – political system. Reich is regularly presented by the mainstream media as a fierce critic of the powers-that-be, a radical friend of the workingman. It is apparently an act, a farce, a beard. This man foresees chaos if the debt ceiling is not raised and considers those who wish it to remain stuck where it is to be "insane." Reich is no radical freethinker, no rebel-with-a-cause. He is merely one more piece in the phony Hegelian dialectic that the elites have foisted on the West to make sure no real sociopolitical dialogue ensues. He's taken it on himself (nobody forced him) to become part of a dominant social theme. (The world is divided between communists and capitalists and there's no other choice.) There are plenty of these people around. 99 percent of the journos, analysts and big-thinkers writing for the mainstream press participate in this false dichotomy.'

'The City of London has a big problem. Once you have fallen back on the immoveable rigor of brute force you have to make sure that people understand that you will not back down. Not now. Not ever. If people cannot be frightened into supporting one-world-government (the point of it all) by fear-based memes, then they must be panicked into supporting it via military power. They must be made to feel that they have no other choice. But what if the biggest war – the most important war of the past 100 years – is also the war that you are evidently and obviously LOSING? What then? Well, if you are the top honcho of the Pentagon or Hillary Clinton, you will do ANYTHING to make sure your pending defeat does not become common knowledge and tabloid fodder. No, you cannot admit it! No how, no way! It will lead to a chain reaction, or so you fear. If people begin to understand that the entire Western world HAS LOST ITS MOST IMPORTANT WAR TO A BUNCH OF GOAT-HERDERS AND POPPY GROWERS ... what then?'

'Bin Laden's supposed death is tied into the unfortunate reality that the US (and NATO) is losing the Afghan war. The Afghan war is a critical power elite meme. The US needs Pakistan to attack the Pashtun/Taliban. If they do not, the war is likely lost. Enter bin Laden and his "death." Whatever else it may be, it was likely supposed to shove Pakistan into an aggressive posture against the Pashtun/Taliban. With bin Laden's "death" there were few rhetorical alternatives. Either Pakistan's leaders had been terribly incompetent in letting the terror master live in Pakistan for years or the military had been horribly incompetent – or perhaps both. Either way, the Pakistanis had much to apologize for. And the biggest way for Pakistan to atone was to attack, the Taliban. For a while, it must have seemed like a stroke of genius. And yet ... something went horribly WRONG. The result in this increasingly bipolar world was only to push the Pakistanis into the waiting embrace of China.'

'Dominant Social Theme: Supporting the glorious Arab Spring is important. -- There are five countries that we count as successfully destabilized by the West (America in particular). They are Afghanistan, Iraq, Tunisia, Egypt and the Ivory Coast. The money shows where the West wants to go. ...there is a sudden scramble to bankroll efforts to steer these destabilized countries in the "right" direction. This is the stated goal then – regulatory democracies not Islamic republics. It is a predictable dominant social theme. Destabilizations have taken place and the citizenry has been freed! We do not put it past Western elites to be playing an even more subtle game. It is possible that Saudi Arabia is supposed to be destabilized to usher in a non-dollar, global currency. It is possible that the creation of a string of Islamic republics is still the ultimate goal (the better to support the "war on terror"). It is even possible that general chaos and regional war is the preferable outcome.'

'..."crimes against humanity"... This is phony, as is the nation-state itself. While the concept of the nation-state is useful, its personification is not. The state, contrary to popular descriptions, has neither wants nor needs. It is merely a geographical description. Likewise, "humanity" is a concept, not an individual. One can commit a crime against a person. One cannot commit a crime against "humanity," as it is merely a concept, a description, a place-holder. Western leaders have set up a mechanism based on a misrepresentation. They do this quite a bit, in fact. There is the concept of the "central bank" that is supposed to aid in keeping economies stable and healthy but does no such thing. There is the concept of regulation, which is supposed to provide guidelines and discipline for the market itself but fails lamentably (as it cannot, in fact, succeed). There is the concept of (regulatory) democracy itself, which regularly gives birth to socialism, fascism and even communism.'

'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 legal scholar [O'Brien] in his 2009 book [Revelation of the Method, Compendium XXXVI], coined the term "Goldstein Effect", described as "the ability to intensify public concern by giving a definite face to the adversary, specifying a human source of the underlying threat." According to [O'Brien], since the U.S.-led War on Terror so heavily associated terrorism with bin Laden, the outrage intensified in similar ways as displayed in 1984. In contrast with the elusive Goldstein (whose very existence in the novel is disputed), however, bin Laden was ****claimed**** by the United States military to have been killed and disposed of in May 2011.' -- Great work, brother!

'...But after finally waking from the 10 year nightmare of the Osama Bin Laden fable, are the public willing to go straight back to sleep? Or are they going to start questioning the official narratives that are cemented into place in the wake of every large-scale event, narratives that always support more government intrusion in our lives, expanded wars of aggression around the globe and an ever-expanding police state?...' -- In some ways she was far more acute than Winston, and far less susceptible to Party propaganda. Once when he happened in some connexion to mention the war against Eurasia, she startled him by saying casually that in her opinion the war was not happening. The rocket bombs which fell daily on London were probably fired by the Government of Oceania itself, ’just to keep people frightened’. This was an idea that had literally never occurred to him. (Nineteen Eighty-Four)

'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.'

'...the Anglosphere elites are making an almost psychopathically aggressive play following bin Laden's so called death. The West's great middle classes will pay for the apparent Afghan defeat a thousand times over through every conceivable kind of security measure. The police state that the elites now plan for the West as a result of bin Laden's death (and the potential for radical Islamic revenge) will make what has come before look positively amateurish. It all has to do with Afghanistan in our view. The elites, having pursued this nonsensical war to the bitter end, are now lashing out in rage. Having failed yet again, one hundred years on, to conquer the "stans" (if this is the case, and increasingly it seems so) the power elite is left standing, metaphorically speaking, amidst the wreckage of its ambitions. It is impossible to rule the world when ten percent of it remains beyond your grasp. The plan was to civilize the Pashtuns and be done with it.' -- http://youtu.be/SKm5xQyD2vE

'The IMF's prescriptions are always the same – and never work. Taxes are raised, services are cut and national assets are sold off to favored (Anglo-American) bidders. If leaders don't go along, their countries are bullied. If countries remove themselves from the IMF's prophylactic measures, they may end up like Argentina once did, with its entire middle class metaphorically (if not actually) picking through dumpsters to find a meal. If only the Anglosphere elite would simply take a vacation, stop printing fiat money, stop passing nonsensical laws that put millions of innocent people in prison and ruin their families, and stop fomenting wars that murder and poison millions to keep in power! This would actually be a service to the world – were the elites to stop "helping" it. But that is not likely to happen anytime soon. Instead we will likely be subjected to more media spin and more articles like the one in the New York Times bemoaning the fate of Irreplaceable Men.'

'...the West seems far less concerned and Western media far less passionate... In the next few days and weeks, Western regimes will come under additional pressure to "do" something in Yemen as they have in Libya and the Ivory Coast. The continued reluctance and temporizing will be interesting to watch. Of course we don't advocate Western interference in the affairs of other nation-states, but Saleh has been evidently and obviously propped up by the West these past 30 years and larger issue (given that the West DOES interfere) is one of strategic hypocrisy. Such hypocrisy may have proven to be a useful tool in the 20th century but it is more difficult to apply in the 21st century. Increasingly, the alternative media is poking holes in a regime change promotion that is being aimed at some countries but not others. And surprisingly, the most credible, up-to-the-minute reporting seems to be carried out by Russian and Iranian TV – an ironic state of affairs...'

'Al Qaeda was at least in its initial terrorist stages partially a promotion of Western intelligence; bin Laden was the scion of a family with close business ties to the Bush family and apparently a CIA asset to boot; he was a very sick man a decade ago (at least) and the idea that he survived to 2011 is doubtful in the extreme. There is no doubt the war on terror is a manipulated war. For the elites, money does not matter. They control central banks around the world and can print as much money as they wish and fund whatever programs they wish... The US$3 trillion drained from Western coffers to pursue illusory wars and phantom enemies is in fact a net-positive from the point of view of Western elites. With their fear-based promotions foundering, Money Power has increasingly fallen back on ... authoritarianism. And this means that the world itself must be thrown into chaos and poverty lest the middle classes look too closely at the false narrative being constructed around them.'

'The Anglo-American elite uses war as a main tool of control. But sometimes it is more effective than at other times. We believe that the Western elites may have miscalculated as regards their world-spanning ambitions in large part due to the Internet that is destroying their fear-based schemes as fast as they can be applied. If so, war (society-reshaping war) may not be an option at the moment. A "long war" may be all they can manage (one which involves various societies in low-intensity conflicts over a long period of time), and long wars (as opposed to a 20th century world war) are merely a way of controlling social change, not radically reconfiguring global society. Why settle for a long war? Because the West is topping into the abyss financially and the elite lacks the tools to radically reshape perceptions thanks to the new communications technology. ...the elites are having a good deal of trouble controlling the message these days.'

But there comes a point when – however much they try – the bits of reality, the fragments of events, won't fit into the old frame. ...the fundamental problem with this simple story of good versus evil is that it does not permit a proper critical framework that allows you to properly judge not only those you are fighting, but also your allies. -- America and the coalition invaded Afghanistan with the simple aim of destroying the terror camps and setting up a democracy that would allow the country to be ruled by good people. But in the ensuing decade they have been tricked, spun round and deceived by the complex web of vested interests there. And their inability to understand and deal with this has led to the rise of a state crippled by corruption in which it is impossible to know who the "good" people might be any longer.' -- YOU
