'The phrase petrodollar warfare refers to a hypothesis that one of the driving forces of United States foreign policy over recent decades[when?] has been the status of the United States dollar as the world's dominant reserve currency and as the currency in which oil is priced. #The hypothesis: Most oil sales throughout the world are denominated in United States dollars (USD).[1] According to proponents of the petrodollar warfare hypothesis, because most countries rely on oil imports, they are forced to maintain large stockpiles of dollars in order to continue imports. This creates a consistent demand for USDs and upwards pressure on the USD's value, regardless of economic conditions in the United States. This in turn allegedly allows the US government to gain revenues through seignorage and by issuing bonds at lower interest rates than they otherwise would be able to. As a result the U.S. government can run higher budget deficits at a more sustainable level than can most other countries. A stronger USD also means that goods imported into the United States are relatively cheap. Political enemies of the United States therefore have some interest in seeing oil denominated in euros or other currencies. -- In 2000, Iraq converted all its oil transactions under the Oil for Food program to euros. When U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003, it returned oil sales from the euro to the USD. The Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran takes this theory as fact. As retaliation to this policy seen as neoimperialism, Iran has made an effort to create its own Iranian Oil Bourse which has sold oil in Gold, Euros, Dollars, and Japanese Yen since its opening. The theory is supported historically by Iranian intellectuals as a move made by the American elites after World War II with the Bretton Woods Act, taking away Gold backing from the Pound Sterling and discreetly starting the eventual pegging of Gulf Arab Oil producers' currencies after Britain gave them independence in 1961 and 1971. These countries were further secured militarily after the Gulf War in 1990. This pegging of the currencies along with the exchanges being exclusively in USD in only two places, the IPE in London and NYMEX in New York City, has given the United States a near monopoly, with growing economies such as India and China waiting in line for orders. Critics say this revolutionary move by Iran in creating a rival market may also be one of the reasons for the ongoing energy-related US competition with Iran.'

'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.

Ingo Bischoff at 03:14 PM -- 'The USD, as exclusive "world reserve currency", is like writing checks which are never cashed. If a competing currency can cut into or replace the USD for paying oil bills, the "USD checks" would be presented for payment. That is the reason the U.S. military makes sure that nothing happens to the Saudis, and nothing happens to the free flow of oil out of the Persian Gulf. It's all about securing the value of the USD. As to Russia and China, they have the democraphic and natural resources to compete with the U.S. as an industrial economy. What they don't have, is a currency which can match the USD in value. Having gold to "back" a currency means nothing, unless the currency is redeemable. Would Russia or China create a "redeemable" currency? There is doubt whether China or Russia would accept Anglo-American monetary superiority voluntarily. A hot war to resolve the problem, is unlikely. Therefore, the fight is on the political level, primarily by turning the U.S. into a complete and openly controlled and managed economy ala Russia and China. In the meantime, the U.S. has been involved in Afghanistan to prevent the construction of an Iranian pipeline into China, and a Russian pipeline into the Indian Ocean. The Obama administration is a friend of the FED central banking crowd which determines the quantity of USDs. However, they are an ardent foe of the American oil majors which decide the "value" of the USD in connection with the Saudis and their fix of the oil price. The present presidential election must be understood in this context. NATO has evolved into a enforcement arm to assist the U.S. in securing the value of the USD. The trouble with the EURO must be seen in context of Europe having to support the value of the USD.'

'Increasingly, with the aid of the Internet, it seems obvious to us that what passes for "global tension" is in fact an elaborate stageplay. Just look at the 20th century. The wars that convulsed the world are nearly inexplicable. There is inescapable evidence now that Wall Street funded the Soviet Union. Someday history will show that the ChiComs were similarly encouraged by the West. This latest Greater Recession is similarly plotted. It doesn't take a "conspiracy theorist" to see it. One simply has to look at what's being erected around us. The structure of global governance is almost complete. The UN, IMF, World Bank, International Criminal Court, NATO and Interpol are all part of the New World Order. Should we deny these exist? So how do you get from here to ... there? Well, you do exactly what's BEING DONE. You dump the economies of the West to level them with the rest of the starving world. You do this through a combination of malicious treaties (NAFTA, CAFTA, etc) and via the ruinous mechanism of central banking. At the same time, you bring up the economies of the BRICs and gradually shift the business of globalist corporations from West to East. This, too, is being done.'

'Dominant Social Theme: Inflate! And everything will work out. -- The BIS, whatever it is, is all for printing lots of money. And the BIS is no small-time trade group. It is perhaps the most powerful (and least known) global business body in the world. Its mysteries are manifold. Its workings are well-hidden. Of course, somebody actually set up the Bank for International Settlements in the late 1930s. And since then someone has set up or helped set up about 200 central banks around the world, many of them reporting directly to the BIS. But who? And how did it happen? Dunno. Who speaks to the head of a state, asking him or her to set up a central bank? Dunno. Do you? Why is that Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq have central banks when they didn't before, or not the kind they do now? Did you read about it? Meh ... this ruinous financial system is not a plant or a tree. It did not grow spontaneously. It did not grow naturally. And we would submit to you that those who created it know what they're doing. The key as always is to pretend that one does NOT know. The key is to create cognitive dissonance. Out of chaos ... order. It is quite clear. Follow what IS rather than what you are being TOLD. The BIS wants to inflate. It ENDORSES inflation. The proximate cause is the unraveling of the current financial system. But it is "their" system. They made it.'

'Sometimes a rose is a rose and a setback is a setback. It may be what we have here. For 50 years, the elite that wants to rule the world lied and dissembled to the British people about the EU. Step by step a union was built like a gilded cage around the British Isles – and around Europe as well. It begs common sense to maintain that this was built up so painfully and with such determined malevolence with the idea of its destruction in mind. No, the preferred plan, as is obvious and evident, is to build up "unions" of countries around the world – and then to build global governance on top of it. There can be NO doubt of this. There are now "unions" – and planned currency unions – around the world. Are we to believe it is all "coincidence"? We find them in South America, Africa, Asia, even the Middle East. Lift the blanket and you will find unions scurrying about like bed bugs. It's a big project, to be sure! One of those projects that is so big it's almost impossible to wrap your mind around it. But take a step back and the parameters become achingly familiar and shockingly – brutally – simple. Build up nation-states, convert them to regions and roll them up!'

'Here is how Cameron "rules." He goes and talks to the Queen. And then the Queen calls the top powers of London's City and asks what she should do. And they tell her. And she tells Cameron. And Cameron tells other trusted individuals. And then the UK mainstream media pretends that the policies being prescribed and followed are the product of a democratic government when they are not. This is all done on a larger scale as well. All of the great banking families' enablers and associates get their marching orders from the top ... somehow. They fall in line, implementing the strategies throughout the West. The result is that somehow major governmental decisions throughout Western "democracies" end up favoring policies that inevitably extend one-world government. -- Let the system, in all its wretchedness and excess ... COLLAPSE! It is not worth saving. It is a system run by the elites and for the elites. You, dear reader, are just an afterthought. It has nothing much to do with free markets, this obscene system. It is mercantilist, administered by an unelected power elite that got its start in the City of London and has spread around the world. This is the "vampire" that is much written about. It has nothing much to do with Goldman Sachs, however. Or not at its root. It is a central banking phenomenon.'

'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.

What are the guiding principles that would lead to freedom from war, hunger, and domination? How do we work toward a world where no one is violated or coerced in any way?

'Oh, wow, a Greek unity government. Unity. A less polite term would be "communism" in our view – for we and thee, not of course for the top Greek elites. Communism. Sure. Or close to it ... The state runs most of Greece now one way or another. And a politburo runs the state. A "unity government." Hah! This is a long held dream of the elites as they struggle to move this woeful, recalcitrant world toward global governance. The idea is to do away with messy policy questions over the STRUCTURE of government. In fact, the idea is to ensure, via such unity governments, that everyone is on board with the basics. Simple really. The elites run the government and the government runs the corporations and the corporations and government jointly run everything else. Way up at the top, the REAL power resides, with a handful of elite families and associates that own the corporations and secretly control the government. The Greeks. They've been rioting for six months and what do they get? A government that will do exactly the opposite of what they want.' -- Some dare call it communism

'Parliamentary democracy is farce. That is one of many benefits provided to us by the unraveling of the EU. The elites who have created the promotional elements of regulatory democracy and parliaments did so with the idea that that this meme would be an effective replacement for the Divinity of Kings meme. Both are equally inadequate in our view. God did not choose Kings – not any more than people nowadays choose their democratic leaders. The mask has slipped a little. We see the iron fist beneath the velvet glove. The entire mechanism of elite control is on display in Greece. We've watched it unfold, as you have, dear reader. The mechanism is NOT being driven by an ideology or vision of a unified Europe. It's being driven by a merciless power elite that wants to keep Europe together as a region in order to use it and other regions to build world government. In the future the story will be told that forward-looking leaders created the European Union and then found it worked so well that they created a Union of the World. For this reason, among others, they don't want the Union to collapse. The intelligentsia has fallen away, and this too is a problem. Without an intelligentsia willingly proselytizing directed history, its imposition becomes more difficult to maintain and mold.'

'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.'

'"He was a mass hypnotist much like Barack Obama, George Bush, Adolf Hitler, Bibi Netanyahu and other modern political puppets who rise to the top in modern politics by brainwashing the masses. Once the masses come under their hypnotic control they create false conflicts and wage wars in which millions of good men are misled and sacrificed. These wars are fought to make obscene profits for the military-industrial complex in every nation, put governments into debt to international banksters, reduce the population, and build a global totalitarian state." – Saman Mohammadi, The Excavator -- It has never seemed to us probable that Khomeini led an Iranian revolution from France, where he was secreted – actually not secreted but in plain view. This is the M.O. of the elite. Lenin was similarly sheltered and then injected into Russia in a sealed train like "a bacillus." Same with Khomeini. Apparently, on the plane headed back to Iran he groused to the assembled journalists about how much he hated the country and its inhabitants. Too bad. He had a job to do. It's all about directed history, baby. Why is it important? Because these people starve human beings and start wars to get their way. They don't commit murders; they seem to commit genocides.

'After singing the praises of China and its vibrant "free market" for years, the Economist editors have now run smack into reality, giving rise to this squib of a story that indicates the ChiComs are hitting the proverbial brick wall when it comes to their hyperactive and impossibly stimulated economy. We're not supposed to understand this, of course. It's an elite dominant social theme, after all, that the ChiComs' murderous command-and-control economy has much to recommend it that the West's anarchic and "free" economies (sarcasm off) do not. ...there's not going to be a Chinese soft landing. The rotting, empty Chinese cities and shoddy, tipsy skyscrapers, profligate and corrupt Chinese central bank, entrepreneurial flight (see yesterday's article) and rising civil violence across the country (so bad it's not being reported formally anymore) should be red flags (no pun intended) that explain what one needs to know. The Chinese miracle is dead. It never existed anyway, anymore than the West's late-20th century consumer mania was a product of Anglo-American "genius." No, the story of modern directed history is the story of elite-controlled money stimulation and central banking largess. Control tens of trillions and you can control the world. And they have. Not just in the US but in China, too. When the bust comes – and it is coming – all three legs of the stool will have been knocked away. America, Europe AND China will be no longer capable of firing the cylinders of the modern central banking economy. The world will sink into the deepest depression it has ever known. Chaos and worse will sweep across the world. And what then? Are the elites waiting in the wings with their next fancy project? And what will it be called? World government?'

'In a series of articles, we've discussed what seems to us to be a Pentagon/NATO plan to divide the Middle East up into warring factions. This plan is being staged in two parts. First, numerous secular states such as Libya, the Ivory Coast, Egypt, Iraq, Tunisia and now Syria are being destabilized to create an Islamic "crescent" that will serve as a putative enemy of the West. The second, or concomitant phase is to strengthen and expand the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), and then to create tension or even military action between these two factions. Additional tensions are being brought to bear via Israel, Iran and, of course, the Palestinians. ...stage two of this apparent plan is now being put into effect. The Islamic crescent is well on its way to being realized with Muammar Gaddafi's death and the triumph of the Libyan/al Qaeda Jihadists. In Tunisia, an Islamic party has begun to carve out a role as the country's leading political force. The Islamic Brotherhood (with its CIA connections) is ascendant in Egypt and growing in popularity elsewhere. Now what is needed is to strengthen the GCC? Of course, there must be a reason to do so, and the ejection of the US from Iraq has just provided the Pentagon with an appropriate justification. "Security needs" will funnel arms and funds to the GCC, which is currently – coincidentally – being expanded to include Jordon and Morocco. The US's and NATO's influence is about to become vastly larger in the Middle East and Northern Africa. Let others explain that the world's problems are caused by greedy capitalist corporations eager to exploit developing countries.

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.

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.

One of its biggest roles is to make the West's socialism/mercantilism look good. We are reminded that China's brand is even worse. China is also used occasionally to justify America's growing wars in the Middle East and Africa. The idea is that these are strategic in nature and aimed at combatting any aggressive intentions harbored by Chinese leaders. China is a useful foil for Anglosphere elites that project anything they want onto its vast backdrop. They apparently support some sort of global governance in line with Anglosphere ambitions. Even if it comes to war, the Chinese elites shall likely cooperate in some fashion, at least to begin with.' -- Great Work, brothers.

'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.

'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 central banks, especially the Fed, have never allowed big businesses to go bust.

Banks as far as the eye can see, and their signage on all the tallest and most important buildings. Banks. Banks you never heard of. Banks. Banks are the biggest bubble of all. The Western world's financial system must be salvaged, we are regularly told. Not a single bank must be allowed to fail or all else will fall down about our collective heads. It is nothing but a dominant social theme. The system is gong to fail, most likely – and perhaps that's been the plan all along. The people running the world's central banking economy aren't stupid.

'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.

'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.'

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...'

"You are your own sovereign. Your LEGAL PERSON, your agent in commerce, they can use that to interact with you but they don't have jurisdiction over it; they can only gain jurisdiction over it by contracting with it. Other than that, it's yours, it's sovereign, and it's your agent in commerce. it's your vessel, your commercial vessel, to use to engage in commerce around the world with whoever you want, and that's your common law 'right' ... ['Business'] is described in their own [codes] as anything performing the function of government. Of course they only have jurisdiction over their own business; their business is their business! So they have to make you believe that your business is their business as well."

'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)

'Can you have one without the other?'

'None of the three super-states ever attempts any manoeuvre which involves the risk of serious defeat. When any large operation is undertaken, it is usually a surprise attack against an ally. The strategy that all three powers are following, or pretend to themselves that they are following, is the same. The plan is, by a combination of fighting, bargaining, and well-timed strokes of treachery, to acquire a ring of bases completely encircling one or other of the rival states, and then to sign a pact of friendship with that rival and remain on peaceful terms for so many years as to lull suspicion to sleep. Everywhere there is the same pyramidal structure, the same worship of semi-divine leader, the same economy existing by and for continuous warfare. It follows that the three super-states not only cannot conquer one another, but would gain no advantage by doing so. On the contrary, so long as they remain in conflict they prop one another up, like three sheaves of corn.'

'The great banking families want radical Islam. They want a war between East and West. At least a cold war if not a hot one. Again, it's part of building world government. The more chaos and hate that's being spread, the more you need the trans-national organizations such as the IMF, World Court and UN. The globalists solutions have all been constructed. Now you just need enough problems to activate them. The dictators being deposed in the Middle East are all secular. Hosni Mubarak of Egypt; Ben Ali of Tunisia; Muammar Gaddafi of Libya – all of them are non-Islamic types. And what will come about now? Probably the Muslim Brotherhood one way or another. The Brotherhood is apparently penetrated and to a degree controlled by the CIA. So you have the spectacle of the West actively deposing secularists in order to replace them with controllable Muslim entities. The Muslim Brotherhood will be painted as a radical sect that poses an immediate danger to the West.'

'If Yemen is destabilized, Bahrain and eventually Saudi Arabia itself could become embroiled in domestic turmoil, which many observers believe could eventually end the fragile Saudi regime... A failed Saud regime would likely collapse the US dollar as the world's reserve currency. The results would make the financial turmoil from the current downgrade of US Treasuries look minor, indeed. The failure of the US dollar reserve could create a world depression of the sort that has not been seen since the Great Depression of the 1930s. The purposeful degradation of civilization itself is apparently the aim of the elites. The goal is world government. Out of chaos, order. With secret, illegal, unconstitutional wars like the one in Yemen, this goal is advanced. The gravity cannot be overstated. The mounting recklessness and lawlessness of these actions provide evidence that opposition to freedom and civil society – embedded in mainstream Western institutions themselves – grow ever more bold.'

'Mike Maloney is asked if we are moving toward a one world currency, but is this possible? What is the relationship between the wealth of a country and war? Would all countries lose their economy in order for this to happen? At what cost?' -- I see plans within plans. http://www.thedailybell.com/2683/Edward-Mandell-House

'For astute observers of recent history, we have seen what happens when people like Saddam Hussein or Libya's Muammar Gaddafi threaten to create gold backed currencies or international trade (in particular, oil) that could be settled not in US dollars – but gold. These people have very short life expectancies, to say the least. And here we have the little dictator from Venezuela coming along and demanding the repatriation of his country's gold from the Bank of England at that. This is really not going to go over very well with the powers that be, to say the least. The international oil-game has long been a significant piece to maintaining dollar dominance. Having nations go their own way and seek alternative means to settling that trade would be devastating to the dollar. Once again, neither Iraq nor Libya will see that happen – at least not now. Will Chavez get away with this plan? Or will he face a newfound Western attack unleashed, already in place to unfold when needed?'

'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.'

'This wasn't unexpected by many who have been watching the unfolding events in Europe's backyard. Just as in 2008, when US regulators stepped in to protect the "Holy Grail of banking," here we have another blatant attempt by the central planners to try to "force" people to have confidence in an over-leveraged fiat money empire that is on the verge of collapse. In fact, we don't think it matters much what the regulators do at this point. We think the US dollar and the Federal Reserve are both on their deathbeds -- the euro, too, for that matter. The entire world is experiencing an awakening, which exposes the fraudulent nature of a global monetary system that's been used by international Money Power to collectivize and enslave a large swath of the world's population under authoritarian rule. Imposing a ban on people's ability to profit from the downfall of a corrupt system will not keep the funeral from occurring.'

'...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.'

'Well, this certainly comes as no surprise. ...it is likely that global order will be promoted as the cure to all our monetary ills. The IMF, a globalist organization to be sure, along with the World Bank, will be marketed by the establishment politicians, NGO think tanks and mainstream media outlets as the only logical way to alleviate the markets of their instability and overall confusion. The eurozone experiment alone should be enough of a wakeup call – for anyone that cares to see – that stitching together a bunch of systemically bankrupt nations' fiat currencies does nothing to alleviate the rot inherent in the design and nature of the money-stuff system itself. We truly hope the world escapes from the grasp of the globalists' fiat-fangs and that this plan of unification does not become a reality. What the world needs, in our opinion, are private currencies competing in a free-marketplace where governments have no involvement in either the issuance of currency or its management.'

'Dominant Social Theme: US politicians have got to act responsibly. Free-Market Analysis: The problem with this article is that it spins the theme that central planning works and that America's "wise leaders" need to do a better job of managing their country. Well ... they cannot. Central planning doesn't work. Regulatory democracy doesn't work. Socialism doesn't work. And fraudulent fiat- money-based monetary systems do not last. Russia and China are both members of the IMF, and as such, will likely be pushing hard for a new global reserve currency – one that will undoubtedly be managed by the IMF. This is not about America narrowly escaping a default on its debt and its politicians' weakness at addressing the debt ceiling sooner, this is about a collective attempt by Money Power to consolidate the world's monetary system under one roof and replace the US dollar as the world's reserve currency. This is about power consolidation and a final push towards a new world 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.'

'...Babylon's Religious Priesthood is commonly recognizable as the source of all of the modern so called "Laws of Commerce". These "Laws of Commerce" are shown to be a specific body of Codes which authorize the Administration of the Compelling Force of the State in the En-Force-ment of Contracts, mostly for Payments of Debts. The ancient Babylonian Priests were involved because Contracts were deemed to be a form of "Oath" entered into by the contracting parties; and the approval of their Gods were invoked so as to more effectively legitimize/bamboozle the entire process in the minds and the consciences of the contracting parties and all public witnesses. Under the ancient Babylonian Religious Codes, "Slavery" is clearly facilitated. People were not recognized as People but were items in Commerce. The text-book says that "The slave is not regarded or spoken of as a man, but as a thing, and is reckoned in the same way as cattle."' -- Nothing personal, Jack. It's just good business.

'These economic crises cannot be pure happenstance. We've suggested they can spin out of control, and perhaps they will; but they are all manmade events, the direct outcome of economic constructs and policies of enormous wealth and control. Somebody set up the 100 central banks around the world that report directly to the Bank for International Settlements in Switzerland. These are quasi-private entities, many of them. Are we supposed to believe that no one takes a profit on them? That there is no way they compensate their creators? The money and power is unimaginable. The BIS controls the central banks that in turn control the big banks around the world. Constitutions mean nothing. Promises are made to be broken. Treaties are talk for children, merely incremental markers trailing in the wake of global governance. By their actions ye shall know them. As with sharks, their momentum must be never stilled. The shadow play continues.'

'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.'

'Tribal culture is resistant to Westernization. Somalis, Pashtuns, Bedouins and Punjabis (if one includes Pakistan) are tribes with millennial cultures. Uprooting persistent cultural trends is a long-term project. First violence is applied to fracture the culture and then massive amounts of foreign aid to rebuild it. What looks like generosity is actually self-interest. The powers-that-be use aid like gesso, whiting over what once was to paint an entirely new picture. Look back in time and we think there is plenty of evidence the ongoing and expanding wars may be part of a long-term project. World War I we could speculate was designed in part to overwhelm German culture. World War II shattered Japanese culture. The Korean and Vietnamese wars did the same in Asia. Only the Middle East and Africa are left. Is it a coincidence then? Engaging with Iran and the former Persian Empire would likely bring a kind of regional World War III to fruition.'

'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."'

'Perhaps it was all a charade. The fall of democratic China and Mao's long march to communist power. Was this too in some sense accommodated by Western elites? This is in keeping with the way Money Power likes to work: thesis, antithesis ... synthesis. The USSR was the antithesis of the "free" United States, and now with the fall of the USSR, we are in the synthesis stage where the US is absorbing a good many of the authoritarian traits of the former Soviet Union. Exactly the same sort of occurrences have taken place in China which has on the surface become more "free market" though how much of this really credible is anybody's guess. If things go according to the evident plan, soon there may be little difference between the Chinese, Soviet and American systems. Every aspect was predicted by George Orwell, the elites' brilliant and peculiar amanuensis.' -- I understand HOW; I do not understand WHY.

'...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.'

'Western history is mostly a fairy tale. The wars, the economic expansions and contractions, "representative government"—all these are a kind of phantasmagoria, spun for the delectation of those who squat around magic boxes willingly imbibing such electronic fairy tales. The reality is much as it has been for the past 300 years (at least). A ruthless band of plutocrats—elite banking families with a base in the City of London—have been engaged in a remarkable mission to take over the globe. They have used war (mostly war), regulatory terrorism and central banking/monetary devastation to advance their cause. They have not hesitated in our view to plunge this miserable planet and its hapless citizens, especially in the West, into repeated recessions and depressions to consolidate power and advance centralization. They have built up a skeleton of world governance authorities—the UN, NATO, BIS, World Bank, IMF and global courts (ICC); they are still at it; they do not easily retreat...'

'...many justifications are inevitably advanced for regulation including the idea of "market failure." This is the fundamental defense of modern levelers. But those who defend this concept cannot, when pressed, name a single "failure" caused by the market. Inevitably, when one begins to examine this argument, one finds that it was a previous rule or law that set in motion the distortion that the "market" supposedly caused. Regulation also forces bigness. The US – and the West – long ago passed into a kind of market-fascism where large corporations (themselves a product of regulation) are essentially paired with their regulatory overseers. It doesn't matter whether the regulations seem to make sense or not. The system is evidently and obviously driven by Anglo-American power elite interests and the end result is intended to be one where markets and corporations are big enough to function within the context of a "one world order."'

'If the mainstream media news actually reflected the reality of world events, every news broadcast would start with an update on BIS policies and then discuss the economic moves of some of the larger central banks. ...the power elite that has quietly seeded – that's right, "planted" – these central banks around the world in the past century know quite well what they are capable of and how they operate. Every few years, central banks cause economic collapses by printing too much money. The Anglosphere elites further consolidate their power and wealth each time one of these collapses occurs under the guise of "Democracy." We are aware that Money Power is established via chaos and draws its order from a planned response to social unrest. From chaos, therefore, springs forth a "New World Order." Is this really what the elites have in mind in the short term? We entitled this article "A Planned Depression." But we will end it with an alternative title: "A Planned Revolt?"'

'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?'

'...many Western states have adopted much of the 10-point platform that Karl Marx advocated, including a graduated income tax and state-ownership (or control) of resources. Again, what this means in practice is that a small vanguard of society's power-elite end up controlling a vast amount of society's resources. At the Daily Bell, we argue that Western society has, over the past several hundred years, developed a secret social and cultural organization that is in control of societies that have been structured to be much like communism. A secretive Anglo-American power elite that traces its power and wealth back through generations actually controls most of the means of production – and the fruits of that production – without publicizing this state of affairs. This hierarchy of mostly banking families and their facilitators (the church, corporations, political elites, mainstream media enterprises, etc.) is located primarily in the City of London and Washington DC.'

'The more extreme forms of collectivism have claimed the lives of millions in the 20th century and there is no reason to doubt that such political structures would do so if re-imposed. In the meantime, the soft collectivism of the West has not murdered nearly so many but is responsible for a steady diminishment of lifestyles and standards of living. This is for two reasons. First, is the tragedy of the commons. If everyone is responsible, no one is. Second, collectivism is in its application a fraud that inevitably allows a few powerful people to loot others while hiding behind the concept. Collectivism at best is a kind of exploitative mercantilism. At its worst it creates the conditions for genocide. Today's Western-style democracy is showing itself as the transparent cloak that it is for the powerful elites standing in the shadows behind Western collectivist societies – thanks in large part to the enlightening power of the Internet.'

'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.'

'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?'

'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.'

'The ability to print money from nothing is the singular achievement of modern elites and the single most ruinous practice of the modern state. It is responsible for most if not all of the abuses of modern history, from torture, to war, to genocide. Money-printing (not money) is at the root of all evil. -- ...if EU protests over austerity are to be effective, it is central banks that have to be peacefully targeted on a consistent basis. A message needs to be sent... There are no good central banks. There is only honest money – gold and silver – and PRIVATE banking (run privately by private individuals) with or without fractional reserve lending: money competition, in other words. What is necessary if EU citizens want the "austerity torture" to stop is for individuals to target central banks with peaceful protests. Not private banks. Not commercial banks. Not savings banks. CENTRAL BANKS! Surround the great, granite temples of money printing and begin!'

'The elite's modern genealogy is said to include Venetian bankers who arrived in Britain and intermarried with English royalty. Today, the world's most powerful families make the City of London either their home or base of operations. Even the Queen of England bows before she enters the City of London and when she walks in ceremonial parades, her place is a few steps behind the Lord Mayor. Today, the City of London is the epicenter of central banking worldwide. It is the place from which world wars have emanated and plans for global conquest are apparently hatched there even today. The fear-based dominant social themes that the power elite uses to extract wealth and power from Western middle classes have their home in the City of London. The UN and League of Nations were given birth there. The EU was likely conceived there. Every centralizing influence in the world today of any note has its roots in the City of London or its sister-municipalities – Washington DC and the Vatican.'

'What happened in the heart of Greater London in 1694 under the direction of King William III of the House of Orange? Well, that would be when King William privatized the Bank of England, established the City of London, and turned control of England's money over to an elite group of international bankers. Like Vatican City, London City (not to be confused with Greater London) is a privately owned corporation operating under its own flag, with its own constitution and free from the legal constraints that govern the rest of us. And it was King William III in 1694 who paved the way for a private cartel of international bankers (money elite) to embark on a plan of implementing world governance, albeit secretly (that is until now, thanks to the Internet Reformation).

''French actions regarding the Ivory Coast, when combined with the current aggressiveness that the International Criminal Court is showing in Africa, are preparing a considerable backlash against Western domination and Western institutions. The issue is further complicated by Western-backed youth rebellions in the North of Africa – in Libya, Egypt and Tunisia. Ultimately, all these interferences are linked together. The Anglosphere elites accompanied by the Anglophile Sarkozy have launched a determined attack on African interests. It may end up in a war against Iran and is in any case increasingly looking like a subdued version of World War III, without the nuclear aspects. ...the Anglosphere elites have begun destabilizing a swath of African and Middle Eastern countries. The idea apparently is either to create regulatory democracies or controllable (at the top) Islamic republics that can be used to widen the apparently phony war on terror.'

'...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 world's great, intergenerational banking families have embarked on a new spate of colonialism to disenfranchise their enemies and empower their allies. Those regimes in developing countries that endorse power-elite goals will be allowed to function. Otherwise they will be destabilized. Hardly a whisper regarding what is evidently and obviously a deliberate policy of "neo-colonialism" has been heard from the West's mainstream media. When America lies, its allies lie, too. When American leaders tell deliberate untruths and treat human lives as if they are entertainment in so-called snuff-films, those who live in the shadow of the world's super-mono-power are left to mumble in unison or face the consequences. It goes for the media too, of course. These days, instead of celebrating businessmen, America's mainstream media mostly lionizes the military class – its brilliant generals and intrepid warriors.'

'Dominant Social Theme: It is necessary to control money and banks for the good of everyone. If fingerprinting is intrusive, we shall use retinal scans. -- Drug-laws and central banks are the two main tools that the Anglo-American power elite is using to control the flow of money around the world... The power elite operates in secrecy and that secrecy has been blasted open by the Internet Reformation in the 21st century. But there are still plenty of elements of global governance that are being erected around the world without any reporting or commentary. The drug war itself is a ludicrous, doomed struggle, but the elites continue to criminalize drug use because it gives authorities the justification to control currency and demand invasive record keeping. Combine currency controls with increasingly invasive visa and passport practices and one begins to see a clear pattern of control being implemented worldwide. The world is shrinking, but not in a good way.'

'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.'

'"If Gaddafi had an intent to try to re-price his oil or whatever else the country was selling on the global market and accept something else as a currency or maybe launch a gold dinar currency, any move such as that would certainly not be welcomed by the power elite today, who are responsible for controlling the world's central banks," says Anthony Wile, founder and Chief Editor of the Daily Bell. "So yes, that would certainly be something that would cause his immediate dismissal and the need for other reasons to be brought forward from moving him from power." And it has happened before. In 2000, Saddam Hussein announced Iraqi oil would be traded in euros, not dollars. Some say sanctions and an invasion followed because the Americans were desperate to prevent OPEC from transferring oil trading in all its member countries to the euro. A gold dinar would have had serious consequences for the world financial system...'

'The UN is about to do to Sri Lanka what it just did to the Ivory Coast. You haven't heard about this? Well you have now. Join the crowd. In a single article (this one), you have perused a frank analysis of the strategy of the new world order (in a Sri Lanka newspaper) and then examined a further argument (brought to you here) which postulates the beginning of World III, the reasons why the Treaty of Westphalia was abrogated and analyzes the largest untold story of the current news cycle – a three-party quarrel among the world's greatest powers over a tiny island and an even tinier naval base. All of the above, please remember, was sparked by the oddity of the UN accusing the Sri Lankan government of war crimes in its recently released report. This is an Internet analysis – and we would argue you will not read this coverage in the New York Times anytime soon. And we bet it will never be leaked by WikiLeaks. It occurs because of the paradigm we apply – one you can use too!'

'...the Anglo-American power [elite's] fear-based promotions are not having the intended effect and thus it seeks to offer the impression that its strategies are unstoppable. But this has its drawbacks. When one wishes to impress upon the people the inevitability of one's designs, then not even one failure can be countenanced, nor one question can be raised. This is an almost impossible burden because the promotion retains no elasticity and sooner or later there shall be some sort of breach. The stance the EU is now adopting with its constant emergency agitation seems to us to be counterproductive. If the EU survives, then EU leaders look as if they were too pessimistic. If the crisis triggers a much larger one, then they run the risk of looking as if they have lost control. Why, we ask, are those running the EU program, purposefully placing themselves in this trap? Either they are panicking or they are in some sense inviting the crisis. These are risky games indeed.'
