1. Official lies no longer effective: The lies they tell simply don't work anymore. There was a time when official lies, especially about war and peace, were believed. Because, after all, how evil would it be to lie about such things? Generally people want to believe they are being told the truth when life and death is at stake. The boy who cried wolf has cried one too many times. Even if they told the truth at this point, very few would believe them.

2. No confidence in politics: US politicians have a paltry approval rating. The trust in government is at all-time lows here and around the world. Mainstream polls show only 10% of the public has confidence in Congress. In other words, 90% don't believe in them to be competent to govern.

Watch this Town Hall exchange below where a man threatens US Senator John McCain with arrest for treason to his face. This would have never happened just a year or two ago:

...

3. No confidence in media: The most recent polls show that 77% of the population no longer trusts corporate TV news. Is it any wonder why the establishment media failed to sell the lies about the alleged Syria chemical event? With all their monopoly might over the airwaves, they can no longer claim that black is white simply because officialdom says so.

...

4. Bankers rejected: Hungary recently became the first country to follow Iceland's lead by shedding international bankers (IMF) and is considering pursuing prosecution of past prime ministers who enslaved the people with debt.

...

Look for this trend to continue even if nations decide to default to break free.

5. Vatican abruptly cleaning up its act: Under the previous Pope, Pope Benedict, scandals erupted from the Vatican ranging from covering up pedophile priests to money laundering and fraud. Benedict, in an unprecedented move, abruptly retired to make way for a seemingly much more likable Pope Francis. Pope Francis by all measures is working furiously to reclaim the church's peaceful and humble reputation. Whether this is genuine or a PR move, it's telling that the church was forced into such a drastic turnaround to save itself from losing all credibility.

...

6. Mutiny among soldiers: Finally. Soldiers, who are outlawed from making political statements, are steadily speaking out against US military adventurism. As Einstein famously said "The pioneers of a warless world are the young men (and women) who refuse military service."

7. Militarized police state: One of the darkest signs that the elite are losing their grip on power is the construction of the militarized police state specifically trained to combat domestic civil unrest. Local cops with tanks and other combat gear are working with Feds at Fusion centers, active Army units are on American soil for the first time in history, the NSA spy grid is being used by the IRS and DEA, and the elimination of due process for Americans under the NDAA are just some of the tyrannical moves made to secure the elite criminals from public backlash. They're clearly scared, and they should be given what they've done to the American people and the Constitution.

...

8. Serious secession movements everywhere: A state seceding from a larger political entity used to be an ultra-fringe concept, until now. In America, secession movements are winning over the public in parts of Colorado and California. In Europe, serious secession movements are happening in Spain and Scotland, as well as several EU nations flirting with the idea of dropping out of the euro. Decentralization = Entropy!

...

9. GMO food being rejected everywhere: Control the food and you control the people. True in theory, but much more difficult in practice. GMO leaders like Monsanto are being exposed. All of their economic and political strength cannot defeat the spread of knowledge about the dangers of pesticide-soaked Frankenfoods. GMO fields are being burned in protest in America and around the world, informed nations continue to reject their products, and labeling laws are gaining traction.

10. Cannabis liberation: Many reading this will think marijuana legalization is a superficial development. However, it is a major signpost that the elite's grip is fading. Enormous resources have been spent to keep cannabis illegal. Cannabis has been a powerful medicine for physical, mental, and spiritual health throughout the ages. This single plant represents a huge threat to the power structures and their industries, hence its seemingly senseless illegality. The approaching global reversal of the tyrannical policy of prohibition is the first of many concessions to come.

A lot of this isn't really debunkable, but I'll try to go through each claim.

1. Official lies no longer effective: The lies they tell simply don't work anymore. There was a time when official lies, especially about war and peace, were believed. Because, after all, how evil would it be to lie about such things? Generally people want to believe they are being told the truth when life and death is at stake. The boy who cried wolf has cried one too many times. Even if they told the truth at this point, very few would believe them.

An internal link goes to a page that basically says that the people, not TPTB must create a NWO based not on tyrrany, but

on some sort of "council of elders representing all races and ethnicities who would work solely in the best interests of

humanity." Nothing to debunk, no evidence of the actual claim is presented.

2. No confidence in politics: US politicians have a paltry approval rating. The trust in government is at all-time lows here and around the world. Mainstream polls show only 10% of the public has confidence in Congress. In other words, 90% don't believe in them to be competent to govern.

Clearly false. Nobody remembers the Bush years?

3. No confidence in media: The most recent polls show that 77% of the population no longer trusts corporate TV news.

With all their monopoly might over the airwaves, they can no longer claim that black is white simply because officialdom says so.

The poll I think they're referencing actually shows the percent of people who trust newspapers and TV news "a great deal" or "quite a lot." This number is 23% for both. It does not include those who answered "some," and the question of mistrust was not actually asked.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/163052/americans-confidence-congress-falls-lowest-record.aspx

A later poll that asked about mass media in general showed that 44% trusted "a great deal" or a "fair amount" while 55% trusted "not very much" and "not at all."

http://www.gallup.com/poll/164459/trust-media-recovers-slightly-time-low.aspx

Thus, claim 3 is bunk.

4. Bankers rejected: Hungary recently became the first country to follow Iceland's lead by shedding international bankers (IMF) and is considering pursuing prosecution of past prime ministers who enslaved the people with debt.

Nothing much to debunk. As far as I can tell, the same government that brought in the IMF is in charge, and some opposition candidates are calling for prosecution. This does not mean that Hungary "is considering pursuing prosecution of past prime ministers who enslaved the people with debt."

Not debunkable, this is all conjecture.

No evidence of "mutiny" presented, can't debunk. Here's a (very short) list of notable US military dissenters. All about Iraq, so certainly not recent.

So....the increased tyranny is evidence that tyranny is nearly done for? Ok... At any rate, aside from blogs, the only articles I found say that the DEA was sharing info with NSA and IRS, among others, not the other way around.

The first two examples are parts of states considering secession from their states, not the US. The CA one has some steam, it's unlikely to ever make it via initiative or legislation, though, as SoCal vastly outnumbers them.

The Colorado "movement" appears to have no steam.

The Spanish Catalan secession movement has plenty of steam, and Spain has a hell of a history, so it wouldn't be exactly shocking.

Scotland's secession seems touch and go:

No evidence is presented here that GMO are dangerous. The only claim is that some people don't like them. This is true, sadly mostly due to lots of disinfo from sites like naturalnews.

No debunkable claims here, just conjecture and woo-like statements not supported by any evidence. Yes, legalization has happened, maybe it will be nationwide. Yes, lots and lots and lots of money has been spent in the War on Drugs®. Uruguay (a nation of 13 million) legalizing marijuana is hardly a sign of a coming "global reversal."



My first try at a full debunk, please feel free to add, subtract, and correct.

Well this is great news. If the "elite" is no longer in control, maybe the ct will stop bashing on about it! (Although they do seem keen on taking the credit for the break up of this "Illuminati" don"t they?)

 

[ColtCabana]

Of anything, this just serves some sort of self-congratulatory feeling that some conspiracy theorists need to fulfill themselves with. They want to be THAT guy. Jim Norton said it best when he basically exclaimed that conspiracy theorists want to be seen as the guy who takes charge. When people ask about what the conspiracy theorist is up to, they want other people to basically say "haven't you heard?! He's the guy who solved it!" The person who typed this up probably, in their minds, viewed their actions as contributing to some sort of weakening of the alleged Illuminati. They were the one to do it and with YOUR help, they can bring it down completely! *yawn*

Ah....Word travels fast now we're all free!

Number 10 (marijuana) is a dubious claim. While it is true that legalisation does seem to be the way we're going (finally...), some commentators posit that this is because the "globalists" have decided "Now is the time". See the "Libertarians" gearing up to make a buck over at The Daily Bell, for example. Whilst there clearly are some globalist forces, it seems a bit paranoid to attribute all changes in public opinion to their demise/machinations. At least with marijuana, I think people have just become overexposed to the endless horror stories of non-violent incarceration, coupled with the prohibitive size of a rock you'd need to be living under to still consider it a "very dangerous drug."

 

[Pete Tar]

Sounds like hippie over-idealisation of the potential of weed to change the world and open everyone's minds - if weed is free that means the unshackling of our minds is just around the corner.
I doubt pot becoming a social lubricant accepted on the same level as alcohol will change things too radically, though it might have some positives. More stoner movies and television for one.

For clarity, who exactly are the "global elite" mentioned in the OP?

Good question.

Are they the "1%"? (Hmm....maybe...)

I prefer a more sweeping approach. The claims seems to be that A) We are seeing unusual levels of resistance to authority. and an unspoken assumption B) that an unusual or unnatural level of authority has been oppressing the people but is finally being challenged. To that I would reply A) Three centuries of regular revolutions and reform movements have made us more aware of Authority systems and more suspicious of tyranny than earlier peoples were and B) we tend to challenge (restrain) authority when we become confident in ruling ourselves.
