The Daily Bell -- Barroso Says EU Will Overcome
'It seems very clear that the powers-that-be subscribe to the idea that they have been chosen to deliver appropriate direction to the masses. This sense that one has a kind of divine right to rule was supposed to have dissipated years ago – at least last century – but the EU's top people obviously believe they are Charlemagne's second coming. The only reason they could believe this is because they have the backing of money power – endless torrents of central banking fiat paper controlled by a handful of individuals at the apex of the Anglosphere power elite. But what they may not realize is that they too are perhaps being manipulated, that those who seek to run the world via military force and political unions will betray their enablers without a backwards glance. This is an elemental understanding that even velvet thugs like Barroso seem to fail to understand.'September 26 2011
The Daily Bell -- How Tony Blair Earns His Millions
'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.'September 24 2011

The Daily Bell -- Bernanke, a Wise Man, Creates Order Out of Chaos...
'This is the value of Ben Bernanke, a shill for Money Power. He is trotted out like the proverbial potted plant to verbalize the statist nostrums that will then be elaborated on by the manipulated media of the mainstream. The goal is to keep people believing in the system until world government is established. The real point has to do with the continual establishment of wise men. This dominant social theme is one of the biggest and most important of all the power elite's memes. The world needs to be run by a few good, gray men in expensive, understated suits. Ben Bernanke is the oracle of the day (and it is an oracular phenomenon) but there are others. They are infinitely important and endlessly replaceable. These men are plucked from Harvard, Yale and MIT. They learn the lingo... They are launched into society to save the world. The most successful men are doubtless those who are able to lie to themselves the most effectively. One cannot be a successful liar if one does not BELIEVE.'August 08 2011
The Daily Bell -- [Video] Alan Greenspan: We Can Always Print More Money
'In this MSNBC interview, Greenspan was asked, "Are US Treasury bonds still safe to invest in?" You have to listen to his answer to believe it. Greenspan sits there and utters a single sentence that basically says what no dollar-debt holder wants to hear: We will devalue your debt into the ground by cranking up the printing presses.'August 03 2011
The Onion -- Drunken Ben Bernanke Tells Everyone At Neighborhood Bar How Screwed U.S. Economy Really Is
'"He stumbled up to the urinal and started mumbling on about the depressed housing sector or something," said Kampman, who claimed Bernanke had to use both hands on the wall to steady himself. "Then after a while he just sort of stopped and I couldn't tell if he was laughing or crying." "Then he puked all over the sink and the mirror," Kampman added. Customers at the bar told reporters the "shitfaced" and disruptive Bernanke refused to pay for his drinks with U.S. currency, claiming it was "worthless." Witnesses also confirmed that near the end of the evening, Bernanke put money into the jukebox and selected Dire Straits' "Money For Nothing" to play five times in a row. "This is what it's all about," said Bernanke, who reportedly danced alone in the middle of the dark tavern. "Fucking love this song."'June 09 2011
The Daily Bell -- Robert Reich & the Debt Ceiling: The Softer Side of Radicalism
'...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.'February 27 2011
The Daily Bell -- John Perkins on His Best-Selling Book 'Confessions of an Economic Hit Man' and the Unsustainability of Modern Capitalism
'Perkins as we learn in this interview is pro-UN, pro-world government... We have seen this before, especially with former CIA agents. Many of them go on to write books or set up companies that are extraordinarily successful; perhaps it has to do with the work habits and discipline that is imparted by these para-military organizations. Also, there is no doubt given the track-record of post-CIA success of individuals such as Mr. Perkins, that the CIA and other intel-agencies hire some of the "best and the brightest." Even though they apparently leave on bad terms with powerful employers, they are able to perform competently or even superbly away from an intelligence environment. Such is the case with Mr. Perkins. Of course there is a simple explanation as well. There is no doubt that Confessions of an Economic Hit Man revealed a methodology that needed to be explained. And that certainly may account for its success, and his.' -- Pied Piper is pipingNovember 30 2010

The Daily Bell -- Demise of the Politically Correct?
'...if one subscribes (as we do) to the idea of an Anglo-American power elite that uses its tremendous, familial banking wealth to move society toward one-world government, then the evolution we are observing makes a good deal of sense. Money power makes all the difference; it provides a formidable incentive for self-censorship. Money determines fashion; wealthy donors fund museums and theatres that make "gate-keeper" decisions. The subtlety of money power—as brutal as it can be—is wondrous to behold. What was resisted in one generation is welcomed in the next. The beauty of money power is that once a theme, trend or cultural direction is set into place, it tends to propagate on its own. Only a relative few gatekeepers are needed. Establish a trend and the mimetic elements of human behavior take over. People are inevitably tribal. It is a survival instinct and a success-instinct. One sees what is successful and wishes to emulate it. Within this context almost anything can be nurtured.'November 10 2010

YouTube -- Yuri Bezmenov: Deception Was My Job 8/9
"To change the perception of reality of every American – to such a extent that despite the abundance of information – no one is able to come to a sensible conclusions in the interests of defending themselves, their family, their community, and their country. Marxism/Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generations of American students – without being challenged... The result: most of the people who graduated in the 60s – drop outs or half-baked intellectuals – are now occupying the positions of power in the governments, civil service, business, mass media, educational system – you are stuck with them. You cannot get rid of them; they are contaminated. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern. You cannot change their mind – even if you expose them to authentic information, even if you prove that white is white and black is black... In these people, the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible."

"The useful idiots, the leftists, who idealistically believe in the beauty of soviet socialist or communist system – when they get disillusioned, they become the worst enemies. That's why my KGB instructors specifically made the point: never bother with leftists. Forget about these political prostitutes. Aim higher. This was my instruction. Try to get into large circulation, established, conservative media. Reach filthy-rich movie-makers, intellectuals, so-called academic circles, cynical ego-centric people who can look into your eyes with angelic expression and tell you a lie. These are the most recruitable people. People who lack moral principles who are either too greedy or suffer from self importance... Your leftists... when their job is completed, they're not needed anymore. They know too much. ...they get disillusioned... they think that THEY will come to power. That will never happen, of course. They will be lined up against a wall and shot." -- Useful idiot is useful!

zero hedge -- Guest Post: The Fuzzy Logic Of Useful Idiots
'It hurts to be wrong. Not just emotionally, but physically, especially when it’s public... The horror of it is almost cinematic. The more artificially pumped your ego, or the more brainwashed with academic pretension, the more terrifying that moment of realization is, that moment when all your assumptions are dashed aside like a three-year-old’s alphabet blocks. To a certain point, it is understandable why so many people live in such violent denial, however, this does not detract from the perils of that denial… Useful idiots talk, they don’t listen. They ask lots of questions, but never wait to hear your answers. For them, questions are not a search for information, but rather a method of antagonism. It is a way to keep everyone else on guard while making themselves feel superior. In this game, the useful idiot never has to expose his ignorance because he never has to enter into a meaningful dialogue with anyone who has an opposing view. All he has to do is attack, attack, attack.'September 04 2010
The Daily Bell -- The Mind Conspirators by Nelson Hultberg
'It begins in the school system. Instead of being objective forums for the transmission of the values of civilization to the young, our colleges and universities have now become fervent breeding grounds for this statist recruitment process, in which the better students get swept up in the "false ideal" of collectivism. It is a powerful futuristic vision that is subtly instilled into callow minds who lack the necessary sophistication to resist. Being young and prone to idealism, they perceive "political centralization and a one-world government" to be an ideal just as the students in Marx's day mistook his "dictatorship of the proletariat" as some sort of ideal. Thousands of highly intelligent students spring forth from this brainwash every year to enter the world and spread their newly learned convictions that capitalism and Western civilization are the "roots of all evil." They think they are working for an "ideal."' -- Alumnus illuminatus!August 20 2010
The Daily Bell -- Rise of the Neo-Authoritarian Intelligentsia
'Thought leaders are necessary from a credibility standpoint. But now the power elite has a problem. Not all of the intelligentsia is leftist or socialist these days. Some of them are right wing and a good many are libertarian. This is a very big problem for the elite. The response (and it is increasingly effective as we have indicated) is apparently to cultivate a whole new brand or class of quasi-libertarian intellectual. This is heady stuff. Hirsi Ali is using the firepower of her intellect not to promote peace or understanding but to advocate what is essentially (in our humble view) the "long war." This is indeed a new paradigm for the modern intelligentsia. In the past century most of the intellectual class has been seen as peaceable and even pacifistic. But the new tone of the modern-day mainstream writer for thought magazines (some of them anyway) is increasingly militant and chauvinistic. It is fascinating (in a queasy way) to watch.'August 14 2010
The Daily Bell -- Krugman to the Fed: Do More!
'Paul Krugman is upset. :'-( ...like many Keynesians, Krugman is worried that lower prices will feed a credit crunch. He is worried that if money becomes worth MORE it will only aggravate people's over-leveraged positions. He is an inflationist, as are most people in a central banking economy, because people's buying decisions are usually based on an expectation of gradual inflation. ...what Krugman et. al are dealing with though they will not admit it is a generalized crack-up boom. The West's economies need a massive unwinding. The problem at this point is banking itself. Banking (and the financial industry generally) is the biggest bubble of all. Because the elite depends on the financial industry for monetary control, banks and other such institutions have been artificially cultivated and consolidated for 100 years. The amount of distortion, excess and waste in the Western financial system is beyond measure. It is like a metastized cancer that is poisoning the entire body politic.'July 31 2010

Wikipedia -- Hideo Kuze
'Hideo Kuze is one of the members of the terrorist group known as the "Individual Eleven". During a mass suicide by the Individual Eleven, Kuze alone survived, leaving and hiding out in the Refugee Residential District. He spearheads a revolutionary socialist independence movement by the refugees in Japan. The entire "Individual Eleven" movement was actually a new Stand Alone Complex created by Gouda. The infamous earlier SAC, The Laughing Man, was a meme that compelled people to become copycats and commit acts of corporate vandalism. The Individual Eleven virus compelled people to commit suicide; when it infected people with strong political beliefs, it made them commit suicide terrorists attacks and bombings. However, Gouda predicted the rise of one "Hero" which would serve as the center of the "hub" of the spreading virus.'
