December 12, 2011
In today's lead article we tried to point out once more (as before) that this global central banking order we have is not to the world's benefit. What we call the Internet Reformation has made it more and more difficult for the powers-that-be to promote their f ...

What one needs depends on one's goals. And much of the time what one needs to pursue various goals is produced by other people, including some rather important stuff or services. Nonetheless, among genuine free men and women, whatever it is that one needs may o ...

We've heard that Germany is running the EU – or maybe that the Union sprang up like a weed, unkempt and unintended. We have never believed it. The EU, from what we can tell, is a cold-blooded invention of the Anglosphere power elite that intends to use it as ...
December 08, 2011
As dedicated analysts of elite dominant social themes, we've been following the recent protests that started on Wall Street and have now spread around the world. We have long since come to the conclusion they have been fomented in support of a larger elite domi ...

The universe is electrical. It is not gravitational. A child could probably see this, if he or she knew where to look. All the vast nebulae and the other patterns in the universe mimic electrical patterns. The nebulae itself is an electrical pattern found throu ...

Today was like every other day in the United States during the last few decades. Washington taxed more private wealth to generate government revenue. Congress added more national debt to future generations so they could pay benefits and buy votes today. The Fed ...

What an editorial at Huffington Post by Lynn Forester de Rothschild! In it, she makes the point that "some revelation is at hand" – and mostly likely it has to do with the reality of a genuine third-party challenge to put a candidate in the White House. A clo ...
December 07, 2011
Today is Pearl Harbor Day, the day that will "live in infamy." From our humble point of view, the mainstream narrative of Pearl Harbor Day is nothing more than an elite dominant social theme – the dastardly "Nips" attacked a peace-loving giant, and 'lo the ti ...
December 07, 2011
Another subdominant social theme? It's always the same. The Anglosphere power elite buys up all the oil, water and farmland in the world and we are told it is the evolution of the free-market economy. Sure ... And now ... guns. Not George Soros, mind you. The N ...

The SEC is getting ready to crack down on US investment firms. This is surely a kind of sub-dominant social theme of the elite – that more enforcement from Washington, DC is going to help those in danger of being damaged by crooked brokers and advisors. These ...
December 06, 2011
We have been commenting on the growing wave of "law and order" in the United States. And this letter to the editor, excerpted above, is surely another sign of it. There is so much ruin in the country (and the West) now that the powers-that-be are likely growing ...
December 06, 2011

December 05, 2011
Here's an idea. Let's take down Wall Street. The wars aren't working very well. Too many fingers are being pointed at government and people are plain angry. Better blame Wall Street! Or failing that, the "one percent." We've spent a great deal of time pointing ...
December 05, 2011
We can tell the powers-that-be are still skittish about how the US Federal Reserve is being regarded, increasingly, by the American public because there is suddenly a lot of talk about "fairness." Why this should be is somewhat puzzling, of course. It is just l ...
December 05, 2011
The steady but slow march toward liberty has for some time come up against the appeal of scientism. This is the idea that everything in nature behaves just like matter-in-motion. So people, too, move only when moved by stuff around – or within – them, never ...

The Daily Bell is pleased to present an interview with Senator Rand Paul.Daily Bell: Are you hopeful about America and what do you foresee for the future? Senator Rand Paul: I think so. I think America is an amazingly resilient country primarily because we embr ...

December 02, 2011
Thanks goodness the Chinese have decided that insider trading is a crime. This sub dominant social theme – that investment information is dangerous and hurtful to other people – is a growing promotion within the ranks of securities professionals. But what's ...
December 02, 2011
A Short Primer The term "fiat money" - more correctly "fiat currency" - is becoming more wide-spread than it was seven years ago when we put out a movie called FIAT EMPIRE. I certainly didn't invent the term, so I am just going along with the economic jargon a ...
December 01, 2011
What could make the US Senate pass a law turning ALL Americans into potential suspects? Fear. Fear "they're" being found out. The controllers. The ones who dominated the world so seamlessly in the 20th century, and who've been found out now. That's what the NDA ...
November 30, 2011
Here come the Pecora Hearings. The powers-that-be are efficiently and cold-bloodedly preparing the guillotine for Wall Street. Good! This is the reaction of the hitherto libertarian alternative media. Say what? Yup ... With the possible exception of Lew Rockwel ...
November 30, 2011
All is going according to plan, so far as we are concerned. The powers-that-be are orchestrating a virtual orgy of anger against the securities industry and people are so angry with top honchos like Hank Paulson (of TARP fame) and Lloyd Blankfein (Goldman Sachs ...
November 30, 2011
This is, of course, the Anglosphere power elite's fundamental dominant social theme. Our Money Power is good and we use it wisely and well on YOUR behalf. The "system" cannot be allowed to falter or fail. Not an inch of it. Of course, we ask, "Whose system is i ...
November 30, 2011
A new one on us. We hate made-up words because the English language has lots of words to choose from. But the powers-that-be will continue to make up new ones in the hopes that the novelty will disguise the authoritarianism lurking behind. It's always the same ...
November 29, 2011
Is the US gearing up for another "Pecora Hearing"? These hearings that began in 1932 in New York and Washington, DC gave us the current nonsensical regulatory regime that the US suffers from (and has exported to the wide world). Here at the Daily Bell, some of ...

This remarkable squib of an article appeared in the Daily Mail on Sunday and at first we didn't believe what we were reading. It is a full-out "rich versus poor" article, the kind that might have been produced by a "Cold War" Politburo (were it to exist today i ...
November 28, 2011
Bill Still is one of those people you don't always hear about who's had a tremendous impact on the larger libertarian conversation taking place in the US and, in fact, throughout the West. Now he's running for the US presidency.
Will he win? Probably not. ...
November 28, 2011

Portugal is broke but austerity measures there are protested persistently. Greece is in the same fix. And indeed in America, too, the Occupy Wall Street crowd appears to believe that if even a few folks are doing very well, no one need tighten his belt since al ...
November 24, 2011
Look for the best in people and you'll find it; look for the worst and you'll find that, too.
How we view others can generate a self-fulfilling prophecy: you believe that they will behave in a certain way, or that you'll be affected by them in a certain wa ...
November 24, 2011
For years, we've been trying to explain that the Internet is not going to be easy to remove or tame. Those enablers and associates of the Anglosphere power elite can try to shut it down but there seems to be a kind of hive mind at work that won't quickly allow ...

"How much pain have cost us, the evils that have never happened." – Thomas Jefferson

November 23, 2011
Much consternation is spent on income and related inequality. Or call it unequal advantages in life. As if it were some kind of moral or political imperative that we must all enjoy equal benefits and burdens, though few will say why that would be a good thing o ...
