The Daily Bell -- Are the Tribes of Europe Ready to Explode?
'Pre-Internet, what's happening in the EU would have been buried under mainstream media misdirection. People might not have understood the larger forces at work. But the EU unraveling along with much else has played out under the merciless glare of the alternative press, and the European tribes are aware of the manipulations that are taking place. It is realization of these manipulations that informs the article, which is a surprisingly good piece of reporting. It is written by Paul Mason, BBC Newsnight's Economics Editor, who is broadcasting regularly from Greece, and it seems to have concentrated his mind, at least for a while, on what's actually happening. The problems are happening to people, individual people, and it is these people, ultimately, who will formulate a response, not "Greece," not politicians, not "working groups" – not even the IMF or ECB. The EU was not an accident. Central banking is not happenstance.'September 24 2011

The Daily Bell -- Stop Clinging to False Hope and Face Reality
'All of a sudden people are understanding the rot at the base of their monetary systems. They can see the game is rigged, and not on behalf of those who believe in democracy but those who are selling the dream. People can see that the newspapers and mainstream media broadcasts are pure propaganda that utilizes the Hegelian dialectic to create an illusion of democratic debate – when in fact all it is doing is constraining the discussion in order to arrive at pre-determined conclusions. People can now see the outright lies that spew forth from the mouths of the puppet leaders who pretend to run the State. In essence, the Internet Reformation is destroying public confidence in the structural edifices that have been established by the elite. It is not just financial, but the whole apparatus that is losing "voters." This is what is causing Hurricane Reality to build up even more momentum and destructive power as it spins above the Western world.'August 09 2011
The Daily Bell -- Amid Near-Meltdown in Monday Stock Markets, Advisers Urge Investors to Stay the Course
'...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.'August 04 2011
The Daily Bell -- Daily Bell Briefs: Countries Brace for The Code War
'...the Internet continues to expose the agenda of a Money Power intent on establishing global governance. People are awakening to understand what money is and what it is not. They can see how the financial elite uses their deceitful world-spanning enterprise of central banks – administered by the Bank for International Settlements – to enslave people under yokes of debt. They can see how mainstream media is complicit in aiding and abetting the whole process – in fact controlled by the very same elite. They can see the Hegelian dialectic in play when their bought-and-paid-for Congressional puppets get together to "play." The structural control centers the elite worked so hard at establishing (pre-'Net era) are all in danger of imminent collapse. The Internet Reformation, like Protestant Reformation inspired by the Gutenberg press some 500 years ago, is a truth driven knowledge revolution. The war will be against truth media, not "cyber-terrorists."'July 29 2011
The Daily Bell -- IMF: Turning Crises Into Opportunity
'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.'July 16 2011
The Daily Bell -- The Morality of Gold
'The Fabian-socialist economist John Maynard Keynes famously said not one man in a million could comprehend the workings of the central bank – so large is the lie that the money system is based upon. But Keynes's statement was pre-Internet. The giveaway of the Fed's trillions and trillions has played out under the merciless spotlight of digital coverage. Thousands of bloggers and perhaps millions of articles have commented on these impossible figures. And gradually, around the world – and certainly in America – it has occurred to the jobless, homeless and hopeless that SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. The great, grasping mechanism of mercantilist central banking has been exposed for all to see. Societies that use some form of gold-as-money are apt to be fairer and healthier than fiat-money societies. The Chinese who have experienced eight ruinous bouts with fiat currency call it "flying money." Gold doesn't fly. In this sense, it has a morality as well as a utility.'July 08 2011
BFI: Film & TV Database -- EQUINOX SPECIAL The KING OF CHAOS (1998)
Broadcast Channel 4 1/1/1998 -- 'Docu-drama of what the media might be like by the year 2012. EQUINOX's first drama, set in the future, focuses on the facts behind the suspicious death of media mogul, Liam Keller, whose software applications have had a huge impact upon broadcast TV, earning him enemies around the world. In the late 1990s, Keller had devised 'Gambit', a virus which enabled all technologies (the internet, television broadcasting, e-mail) to converge – to communicate with one another. Found floating in the Thames, a television current affairs programme sets out to explore how Keller might have met his death. Through Keller's life story this drama explores the consequences of future technology, reflecting on what might happen to our present day media over the next few years.' -- Keller: "The government is committing large scale larceny... [forcing] you to pay taxes for services that they aren't providing. From a consumer point-of-view, government is a failing brand."The Economist -- The end of mass media: Coming full circle
'In January 1776 Thomas Paine’s pamphlet “Common Sense”, which rallied the colonists against the British crown, was printed in a run of 1,000 copies. One of them reached George Washington, who was so impressed that he made American officers read extracts of Paine’s work to their men. By July 1776 around 250,000 people, nearly half the free population of the colonies, had been exposed to Paine’s ideas. Newspapers at the time had small, local circulations and were a mix of opinionated editorials, contributions from readers and items from other papers; there were no dedicated reporters. All these early media conveyed news, gossip, opinion and ideas within particular social circles or communities, with little distinction between producers and consumers of information. They were social media. In many ways news is going back to its pre-industrial form, but supercharged by the internet. The mass-media era now looks like a relatively brief and anomalous period that is coming to an end.'July 02 2011
The Daily Bell -- Rupert Murdoch's Failing Attempts to Control the Internet Reformation
'In order to build a new world order, people must be either frightened or enticed into cooperating. It is a great deal easier to scare people than to bribe them, less costly too. But when people begin to tune ... out as they have in the 21st century, then the message is muddled and gradually grows more insignificant. Murdoch's properties are supposed to provide the conservative half of a worldwide Hegelian dialectic. Thesis, antithesis ... synthesis. Murdoch provides the antithesis, with relish. As a major facilitator of the one-world conspiracy, Murdoch is tasked with taming the Internet Reformation. But in order to accommodate the changing conversation he begins to BECOME exactly what his elite backers hoped to eradicate. To retain credibility he must present free-market thinking; yet this is anathema to his sponsors. It is a conundrum. -- For those in tune with what is happening, it is a great time to be alive, as the great conversation has been illuminated once again.'June 30 2011
The Daily Bell -- The Length of a Meme
'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.'June 25 2011
The Daily Bell -- Mainstream Media Agrees on Empire's End?
'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.'June 18 2011
The Daily Bell -- How the Internet Makes False Flags More Difficult
'...the Anglosphere elite that surely wishes to undermine the Internet Reformation is going to run into considerable pushback... The elites of the day seemingly could not control the ramifications of the Gutenberg Press no matter what they tried to do, and they evidently tried everything from war, to licensing, to false flag events and social manipulation. It didn't matter; force never solves anything longer term. Indeed, "the pen is mightier than the sword." Now, nearly 600 years after Gutenberg's original invention of mass conversation, a "great shift" – Internet Reformation – has begun anew. ...the parallels are clear. The Internet Reformation itself may prove a great deal more resilient than some now believe. The human hive mind is busy buzzing. The spread of knowledge – real knowledge – continues. The Dark Ages of the 20th century begin to lift and Dreamtime subsides. Information about free-markets continues to spread. Are these trends reversible? Don't think so.'June 10 2011
The Daily Bell -- Regional War or World War?
'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 Daily Bell -- If Yemen Falls, so Does the Dollar Reserve?
'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?'The Daily Bell -- What Would Samuel Johnson Think of Today's Western Education?
'...much of what passes for a career nowadays is unfortunately wrapped round a bevy of elite memes. Just because the elites can print enough money to create whole new industries that last only a few years, doesn't mean that one can build a career around them. ...much may change over the next years, including the idea of what constitutes a career – and even what constitutes modern civilization. What good is literacy when it spawns a militaristic society that uses this ability to spread Anglo-American authoritarianism around the world; what good is an education if you are in some sense contributing to your own enslavement? Perhaps the best thing to do at this point would be to apprentice oneself to a trade and then chart the course of the autodidact on one's own. With the Internet does one really need to spend four-years in a university spending tens of thousands of dollars for careers that may vanish with the next financial collapse?'May 30 2011
The Daily Bell -- Queen Worried About Empire's Meltdown
'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.'May 28 2011
The Daily Bell -- Turning Points of Empire's End? by Anthony Wile
'Money Power depends on the myth of infallibility buttressed by an overwhelming sense of fear. In the 20th century, this worked well. The entire mechanism of global government was put in place and people didn't object. In fact, many welcomed it. But today is another story. With the failure of its many memes (thanks in part to the Internet Reformation in my view), the power elite turned to increasingly to violence – as they always do. But what if violence doesn't work either? What then? This is the LARGER "turning point" that Hillary is talking about. THE END OF EMPIRE. If the five or so top Punjabi families do not rout out the Pashtun/Taliban, the Afghan war is indeed lost. And if the war is lost, then 10-20 percent of the world's population once again (as the Brits tried this 150 years ago) escapes the trap of the New World Order.' -- "That which can be destroyed by the truth should be." – P.C. HodgellMay 26 2011
The Daily Bell -- Yemen Crisis to Block World's Oil?
'The stakes are ludicrously high. As goes Saudi Arabia, so goes the dollar... A destabilized fiat currency could be only months away. Yes, the CIA ripped it! Poor boys. Even a Yale education doesn't help during a technology Reformation. A good idea to encourage meddlesome color revolutions? Not really. Foggy Bottom woke up the youth around the world and provided them with a most unusual and resolutely denied commodity ... hope. It showed young people how to use social media to inform and agitate. Now the result: "Blowback." Serbia, Tunisia and Egypt were all initial victories for one reason or another. But in the era of the Internet, triumphs can mutate inconveniently. Yemen's democratizing, and it will come, will be a setback; Bahrain's likely regime change will pose great difficulties; Saudi Arabia's regime change (whenever it occurs) will be an unmitigated, rolling disaster for Western elites. Oh, heads will roll, not just in Saudi Arabia but also at the CIA, MI6 and Mossad.'May 21 2011
The Daily Bell -- Obama's Speech Fumbles Elite Themes by Anthony Wile
'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.'
