Eureka, detective Rattus, you've discovered the secret connection between the mysterious Malone and the Rothschilds--race horses! I knew that all roads led ... ;-P
So Zelskyyyy isn't just the second coming of Winston Churchill, he is indeed the second coming of Christ, complete with faith healings under the ol' blue & yellow. I knew it!
I read this on Amazon about your book, "Benjamin Franklin invented the colonial currency that ended poverty and spread prosperity … until British bankers outlawed it. This, not a tax on tea, sparked the Revolutionary War."
Apparently he has written an article about Franklin but I have not read it.
Here's one of my favorite Franklin pieces and I bet you'll find it charming! .:
Ben Franklin, at the tender age of 16 and with two years of formal schooling under his hat wrote this. I believe he was referring to Hawvawd.
“I reflected in my Mind on the extream Folly of those Parents, who, blind to their Childrens Dulness, and insensible of the Solidity of their Skulls, because they think their Purses can afford it, will needs send them to the Temple of Learning, where, for want of a suitable Genius, they learn little more than how to carry themselves handsomely, and enter a Room genteely, (which might as well be acquir’d at a Dancing-School,) and from whence they return, after Abundance of Trouble and Charge, as great Blockheads as ever, only more proud and self-conceited.”
Wow, another hero bites the dust! Here's his actual piece on Franklin: http://mileswmathis.com/ben.pdf. After 26 pp. of genealogy, my head is swimming! I think the takeaways are: 1) Franklin is Jewish 2) is gay 3) is related to British aristocracy and 4) is British intelligence. I understand there's a similar history for Mark Twain.
If I look at the words and actions of either, however, they don't support an aristocratic system. It's Franklin's economic system that enabled the colonies to be self-reliant, before the Currency Act. It broke with the British bankers and merchants.
As the only positive example I was able to find in 3500 yrs of Western Civ, I'm not quite ready to scrap him yet. But I'll keep the reservations in mind.
I usually skip the geneology because it makes my head swim as well.
Amazing how many heroes (and concepts) bite the duts on closer inspection. I've found it liberating to divest mself of myths though. I've even become used to the fact that I cannot really share what I've learned with others for obvious reasons. The covid farce has been good that way since I've found at least a few who are open to questioning the standard foolishness.
Now, if I could only get good people to quit calling mass media "mainstream," which it is not, by any means!!!!!!
Explain more how you make that distinction between mass and mainstream?
I've since read the article on the EIC. VERY interesting. And all of that fits exactly with my research on Hamilton and Morris and the Constitution Convention Coup, as I talk about here:
"Conveniently, every single nation out of 175 countries apparently had laws allowing unilateral executive action instantaneously bypassing every democratic safeguard.
And, bizarrely, every executive agreed with the same plan. Apparently. Or, ‘someone’ bypassed or overruled them all. It proved that our legislators, parliamentarians, delegates and ministers are merely window-dressing, when push comes to shove. They’re just actors, whether they know it or not.
Someone made a call."
So why not Sweden, Belarus, Nicaragua, Tanzania, Brazil, Uruguay, South Dakota, etc. then? Well, Sweden (and Japan) was largely spared in part because their constitution forbade lockdowns or mandates, but then again so did a lot of countries. Sweden, however, was already farther advanced than the rest of the world in terms of digital ID technology, so they were likely close to the heart of the Davos agenda somehow. As for the other countries and states? Well, most of them had leaders that opposed the globalist agenda to one degree or another. And of course Tanzania's President John Magufuli died under suspicious circumstances after not toeing the globalist line. And Lukashenko of Belarus was apparently repeatedly offered bribes in exchange for agreeing to lockdown but refused every time.
Good points, Ajax, and well-informed. I hadn't heard about most of these but Sweden was on my radar. What do you think about the general point--are Russia and China in on the GR, in your opinion?
Thanks. China is clearly in on the GR, as we know the WHO takes orders from Beijing. I am still sure not sure if Russia is against the GR or secretly in on the GR as controlled opposition, but probably the latter.
De facto, they sure do. Just look at the messaging they put out about Covid shortly after the virus was discovered, they totally carried water for their masters.
Hmmm... no doubt that the WHO is central to all this but does it answer to Xi or does Xi answer to it? Or do both answer to a 'very few' (as NaT writes) behind the scenes? And was Xi put into his position by someone else, within China or not? I've been reading Pepe Escobar on the Chinese oligarch Guo. It seems like there, as well as here, the face cards aren't the players: https://thesaker.is/exclusive-the-fugitive-who-tried-to-spark-a-us-china-war/.
"Or do both answer to a 'very few' (as NaT writes) behind the scenes? "
I'd say that would be the case at least as far as I can tell.
Mao in a high-level meeting. Frank Coe, Israel Epstein, Elsie Fairfax-Cholmely, and Solomon Adler. Coe was one of the people responsible for the Great Leap Forward and the famine which killed forty million people. In the middle is the Red daughter of a “Christian” pastor, Anna Louise Strong. Among her other lifelong goofy exploits is the fact that she once led a nude women’s parade in Hanko, China which was not only a center of Red revolutionary activity, but a principal opium trading center in China.
There used to be a picture here but I have not checked to see if the link still works.
Excellent question and thank you for helping us to figure this out!
The way I see it, the U.S. DOD has been the world's crooked cop, and is implementing this, but there is someone behind there calling the shots, and I don't mean Gates and Soros who I think are just middle managers.
I'm trying to help myself figure it out! Agreed on Gates and Soros being middle managers. Gates got his family money from banking, and his mom pioneered the 'philanthropath' model, as Margaret Anna Alice calls it. I didn't realize until researching this article that Soros was behind Tiananmen Square.
So many crooked cops! I started reading Whitney Webb's One Nation Under Blackmail, and it starts by looking at how the Sicilian, Chinese and Jewish mafias all started working together. There's definitely a culmination of that centralization going on now.
Yeah it's kind of like being around in ww2 times and not knowing about Hitler or Tojo (not picking on the nationalities here, just trying to conjure up an example).
They know that we don't know but they are afraid that we will know soon. People make the world go around and while I think conditions might make all this inevitable or very likely, there are probably a *very* few directing this.
Mass media appears intended to brainwash and dumb down the masses. The masses are not monolithic except for their gullibility, so there really is nothing mainstream about the masses.
"Mainstream" is a fraudulent concept intended to legitimize mass media as authoritative to a degree. The garbage our owners want the masses to believe is labeled "mainstream" because it suggests that it's somehow acceptable info when it's really nothing of the sort. It's really a product of our handlers and they are the "elite;" they are not of the mainstream by any means. This works because of the well known phenomenon that people are uncomfortable if they feel they're outside of some group or another. On the other hand, "mass media" has a well deserved connotation of being derogatory. If people think that what they're exposed to is mainstream, then they get to praise or statisfy themselves that they're "cool," "with it," "informed," etc. when in fact the opposite is often true.
Oh, that's such an excellent point, Geoff. It really is another psyop. Yes, I remember my kids taking college classes in Mass Media, and me thinking that was going to be about techniques of manipulation--but no, it was how to use it to manipulate!
Completely different connotation than mainstream, assuming the majority, commonly held, widely accepted. Great catch!
Thanks. I didn't know if I was able to explain it. I luv your calling it a psyop. I never thought of it that way, but that's what it is along with so much else such as schooling which they misname as "education."
I thought that ngram was pretty revealing too; how 'bout you?
Yes, is that the percentage of books mentioning 'mainstream media' or with it in the title? Very revealing either way. And here's one of mine on schooling, although I have much more on my archived radio show from a decade back: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/reinventing-education
Thank you so much for the link. Once again, you've managed to pack so much into so little space, that I'm in awe and could easily spend half a day commenting. Short version.: You are amazing!!!!
As for debt, my advice is to avoid it like the plague. I don't know how I figured it out, but debt slavery, like wage and tax slavery, never looked attractive to me! Fortunately my wife takes the same approach and we live quite well though not fashionably.
Thanks for the compliment, Geoff, it's great to find a like mind. I'm with you on the debt and don't even have a credit card, which used to limit my rental car options until I found the P2P option, Turo. But that's not possible for this next generation. What you and I could do, paying down a house early and living beneath our means, has now become impossible because of the manipulation of interest rates. I talk about it in some of my episodes on housing, but I'll let you explore on your own since there are myriad topics we share. Thank you for subscribing!
"What you and I could do, paying down a house early and living beneath our means, has now become impossible because of the manipulation of interest rates. "
Lots of other shenanigans going on that way as well such as endelssly inflating housing prices by continuously conjuring up boxcar loads of money, stimulating markets by lowering interest rates and "guaranteeing" loans for otheriwse unqualified buyers, bailiing out large banks,etc., etc.
Yup, I don't know how young people can "make it."
It is refreshing to find like minded folks. That's one of the benefits of the covid scam. Sensible, perceptive and knowledgable people are coming out of the woodwork. Finally!
I see you mentioned John Taylor Gatto. I luv that guy's stuff. I've read about 1/4 of your excellent piece and I must say that I had no idea of the depth of the "education" and debt scam. I spent about 1/3 of my life in school and came out with zero debt (I worked my way through and lived below my means), so I never really looked into it.
I just checked to find he died in 2018. I remember he had cancer. He's a hero of mine for sure. Here are the radio episodes I did on him:
Oh! In looking that up, my website has suddenly disappeared. It's been on Network Solutions, which has gotten shadier and shadier. It really was a magnificent thing. Definitely a lesson in letting go, maybe wishing I'd done the copying and pasting I'd meant to, or transferred it somewhere else sooner. But I think the message is letting go. I'll do some investigating and maybe some grieving.
He and Tom Luongo did an interview on unlimited hangout against the cynics, Riley Waggaman and an editor from off guardian.
Both Matt and Tom were ignorant of key points of Russia and their real convid policy.
Instead, they assumed that Putin was against mandates, and went on that.
Imagine you are a foreigner looking at US policy and economics. Would you trust CNN or fox news? Or would you look at other sources, just in case the state controls those media outlets?
Matt and Tom trust the mainstream Eastern media, while calling ours propaganda.
BTW, the Ukraine war reminds me of 1984. Even Scott Ritter is almost seeing the point, that somehow despite Russia's superiority with a 10 to 1 ratio of deaths in the war, Ukraine isn't running out of troops. And yet Russia had to retreat? And then they targeted the Ukrainian electrical grid. But still we have videos of how the lights are still on in many Ukrainian cities?!
Hmm, and I'm sure the chocolate rations are up 20% too lol!
"We were always at war with eastasia" while the east says "we were always at war with Oceania" and so on. Keep having excuses why people need to sacrifice economically and rights wise. Both sides' oligarchs benefit greatly.
Here's a good blog on the issues with the war and policies in Russia.
I'm enjoying all your comments on my videos, Rob. So happy that Tessa gave me the opening to place the bait, and you took it! It's really keeping me on my toes to have you in my audience.
The person who I am, perhaps, optimistic about is Sergei Glazyev. His economic policies are certainly changing the possibilities for the so-called non-aligned countries. I don't know how this is all going to turn out, obvi, but I don't believe it's all going entirely to plan. But I could be wrong and we're all doomed.
Thanks for the Slavsquat reference. I used his research for some of my earlier episodes on Ukraine and Russia. He's very interesting. And Corbett certainly had a lot of proof points for Putin being gung-ho on the mandates. So the plot, already mud, continues to thicken.
Thank you so much. I will do my best to post it to SolutionSeeking.substack.com, along with the URLs you provide, and your Substack address. Please let me know if that is ok, and if you have any wishes I should keep in mind. I wish Substack allowed us to send files in these threads, as I would love it if you wrote the entire post yourself in a way that I could easily write an explanation for and just import what you want to share. I know you are busy so I will just do my best.
Now I will thank you for the insights you have shared. And now I realize what I currently think the most urgent goal of SolutionSeeking.substack.com should be. I think what is urgently required is solution seeking to stop or halt the war against all life on the planet that the 1% are waging. Once this goal is achieved, then it will be time to consider and implement solutions like what you have created, in ways that guarantee complete transparency of all institutions, no concentration of extreme wealth and power over others, no government or other secrets, no secret control societies, etc. In nocturnal wanderings last night strong spiritual guidance was given and gratefully accepted. And, yet again, I did not get enough sleep, so when I make my usual grammatical and other amazing auto correct and other mistakes in this message, and then try to go back and correct it, please forgive me.
I think that Substack repositions comments in the order of 'liked' so my like of yours moves it up. It may also be giving us a new lease on space once it got into the narrow margins of indents.
For your stated goal, I'd add caution that the WEF promotes itself as halting the war against all life on the planet, which is why they're forcing countries to shut down farms and ranches, cut their use of oil and gas, all of which serves their purpose of depopulation.
And it's likely that you and I are both in the top 1% of income and assets on the planet, yes? It doesn't take that much. And it certainly doesn't give us any kind of security because the cost of living always rises to match, as long as the banks own the houses and we bid against each other for how much debt we can go into.
I also think that "halt or stop the war" needs definition. Does that mean kill the enemy, as war implies? Use the judicial system to imprison? Or is taking their destructive power away enough? Since you've defined the enemy as people, based on their wealth, rather than a system, it narrows the scope of the 'remedy'.
What I would suggest, instead of a file, is that you cross-post one of my episodes to your list as a starting point. It may get traction with some, it may not. The one on Build a New Model starts with the fundamental principles but this one looks at the solution in more detail: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/the-economics-of-anarchy.
I am new to Stack and learning. Thanks for your insights about reply tree hierarchies. I programmed trees and would prefer that the reply appear in the tree as a direct child of what was being replied to, but that clearly did not happen to me. Interesting.
The WEF propaganda and what this new post proposes for the SolutionSeeking think tank group are very different? Should we not allow surface similarities to limit us? Can I make the point described in this post in a better way, with a better title?
My daughter has correctly pointed out that, in the US, her generation generally knows that the 2% are a big part of the problem. I fully admit that she is correct. Whether I am in the 1% is questionable, but I am certainly in the 2%. There are exceptions to any rule. Those who seek to ensure their well being and comfort at the expense of others might want to re evaluate that mind set within the context of what is happening and what the enemy has planned.
The think tank will try to explore all options in an effort to fully understand them all and hopefully avoid the violent ones. As the enemy (Buffet's called it a war, wars have enemies, so I therefore think the term "enemy" is fully appropriate here) continues its cowardly heavily propagandized war (actually slaughter) of the 99%, more of the 99% will become desperate, and potentially violent. The enemy probably plans to turn them against each other but I make a point of talking to the street victims before I give them some much needed money, and many of them know that the 1% are their real enemies, and they often work well together, often much better than the 2% who are still comfortable. The homeless numbers are growing, what used to be a nice upscale organic food market under a mile from my house is now a tent city for victims who only a few short years ago had nice jobs, nice residences, etc. Many of the 2% choose to ignore all of this and pretend everything is ok and is going to be ok, and only when they too are homeless might some of them be incentivized to act?
I like your idea of using a post of yours, maybe along with the associated or another YouTube clip as an introduction.
Gotta be careful about saying the word "Rothschild" in even the slightest negative way in certain places these days. How about "Wrathchild", like the Iron Maiden song? That might be a good code word to get past the censors, lol. "Rockefeller" also works too and still makes sense.
I am so thankful I discovered this Substack. Thank you Tereza Coraggio for your incredible work. Some of you may be interested in what some are attempting, as described below. For those who want to participate in the much needed discussions of full range models of what happened and full range discussion of solutions, please take a look at the following
I could use some help here as facilitator of this young effort, in its preliminary brainstorming stage. I am not a writer. I am an engineer with success analyzing all possible models for complex challenges, considering all possible solutions, and analyzing the merits of the different possible solutions. It is curious that our enemy appears to do this kind of planning and analysis but our side does nothing like it. When do we start considering real, innovative solutions? Who else has done this or is doing it? Isn't it up to us?
Experience clearly shows that this kind of effort is not just for technical people, but, rather, the more diverse the well meaning participation, the better.
The following is an attempt to use Substack as a think tank sharing platform where all who participate respectfully and in good faith as equals can share and analyze a wide range of models and possible solutions. The hope is that, by doing this, we might come up with something that has not been thought of or tried so far, something that might save the planet.
I too am so thankful you discovered my stack, Larry, and was excited as soon as I read your interests on your profile! That was even before I saw that you'd subbed both my YT & Substack and posted lovely comments on each. This is an instant reward for having just customized my 'about' page in a way that sure seemed targeted to you, whether you read it or not ;-)
So, your objective of analyzing the problem and solutions is one that I have a ten-year headstart on, from writing my book How to Dismantle an Empire. My goal is networked commonwealths, at a size of a few hundred thousand. I end my book with four tools for community sovereignty. that would require system change but in very precise ways that give the greatest benefit to all while mildly inconveniencing a handful of bankers.
While the tools and the formula for gauging success are the same for every community, how they're applied should be different--since no two communities have the same problems, resources, culture, style. What's VERY exciting to me about you, is that I've envisioned this as an online simulation game where people are developing their own models and policies, and playing them out against predictable consequences. It gives points to both the thief and originator for kludging someone else's ideas. The objective is how many times you can get your local credits (that I call carets) to circulate, producing more goods and services, before they're siphoned out in the imperial currency, ie dollars. I think it would be really fun.
Hello again Tereza. This is refreshing, exciting, and has incredible positive potential. I have a lot of reading to do. At the risk of jumping the gun, I cannot help but ask the following...
The clearly stated goals of the enemy that has long waged war on what I will loosely call the 99% through its 1% minions are as follows? To mutate all life on the planet through quantum dots, self organizing nano technology, etc.,so that each life form becomes a genetically modified organism that is remotely controlled via the wireless control grids that are being installed everywhere, including at the depths of the deepest oceans? While the enemy may target urban areas first, it clearly does not want to allow any exceptions? I therefore wonder of the viability of attempting to create a break away society. Isn't the next URL one of many examples of what the enemy does to somewhat successful independent societies?
If true, does this all require that the puppet control network of the enemy, the 1%, needs to be neutralized before the new societies can replace what have now?
Some links detailing what I have wrote here appear below. There are many models of reality and, for me, everything is a probability. IE. I do not necessarily believe what I wrote here to be true, but, at this time, I believe it to be very likely, maybe most likely.
In summary, I think that we face an enemy that may allow things like Freedom cells for now. But, my belief is that enemy intends on enslaving all life on the planet. Therefore, I believe that it is most likely that enemy needs to be replaced before we can create viable and sustainable break away societies. I believe that if that enemy is not replaced it will either assimilate all life or physically destroy anything that dares to defy it. If you disagree with any or all of this, perhaps it is important to explore this sooner rather than later?
Thanks again. Reading what you provide is much more pleasant than reading what I write. I look forward to working with you to discover all versions of the possible truths.
Is SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) The Proven Blueprint For Enslaving All Life On The Planet?
I do agree completely, Larry. The answer is inherent in the question. Before you can talk about solutions, you need to reach a common definition of the problem, and that needs to have every word used in it defined in a nonredundant way.
I'm very familiar with the Qaddafi example, one of my book chapters is Libya--Swept Away by the Currency. It wasn't just breaking away but using Libya's gold to back a Pan-African dinar that would replace the African franc. Oil is just chump change, the real game of thrones is controlling the currency in which oil trades--the petrodollar.
There's another Substack called The Rationalist run by Josh Ketry. I think what he's looking at is very similar to you, and I know he's looking for collaborators, if you wanted to check it out: https://joshketry.substack.com/.
To my mind, where I've disagreed with Josh is that he feels that the problem needs to be solved first at a central level, and then we can decentralize after. In my book I go back 3500 years to the origins of democracy and coinage to show there's not a snowball's chance in hell to win against these systems. The first four sections could be summarized with "Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here."
The first title of my book was A 2020 Vision: the Economics of Community (with the domain a2020vision.org still languishing) but I realized that without understanding the problem, no one would see the solution. So I had to start at the beginning.
Although I'm sorry I don't have text to it, I think the best place to understand the problem is the video on Snowden. Horrible (and realistic) as your example is, it's still just a symptom not a cause. If they create the money, they own the houses, which means they own the labor for free of every person with a roof over their head. You can't change anything without changing that.
This is excellent. Multiple layers of wide spectrum opportunities exist here? How to optimize this? Understand and support each other but follow our own parallel paths? Something else? I didn't sleep last night and am fading rapidly, so please forgive the associated inevitable incoherence in my reply. Thank you for all of this.
This is overwhelming. Between the desire to learn new things as per what you have gifted me with, what I am trying to do on my Substack, and the need to get out of my urban home to the remote nature based mountains that have beckoned my entire life, there are too many choices, and there is too little time. Balance? It is more like juggling. Perhaps I should support others and work with them, but concentrate on different models of ways to take the power from the entire 1%, freeze the enemy’s harm world wide while what remains of humanity works together to design and implement a better world? We may be rapidly running out of time? The enemy is not resting? It is busy putting the multiple complex pieces in place for its end game?
I can’t wait to dive into what you have provided. Thank you.
Rest well, Larry. I call what I'm doing socio-spirituality because it's taking a hard look at what's happening in the world while simultaneously questioning the reality of the world. Personally, I think the two need to go hand-in-hand. Otherwise, you feel panicked and urgent, as I once did. The empire is dismantling itself right now, I think. Your job is to make yourself happy and find the nature that your soul needs. I think time was made for us and you have all the time you need. People aren't even seeing the harms that are in front of their faces right now--I don't think they're going to see, on any wide scale, what you're talking about, although that doesn't mean it's wrong.
It really is going to be okay. That's my experience, again and again, when my life seems out of control and later I look back and realize the bad thing was really what made possible something better than I could have imagined. I'll leave you with one more link, to Charles Eisenstein and 2023: The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible, and then I'm going to sleep too. Here it is: https://charleseisenstein.substack.com/p/2023-the-more-beautiful-world-our
Good morning Tereza. Thank you for the kind and beautiful words. Charles Eisenstein's work is inspiring and his visions are wonderful. Working towards things like what you are discussing provides inspiration.
Strong logical and spiritual considerations are guiding me to continue to prioritize what is being attempted at SolutionSeeking.Substack.com. Others, and I, believe there is overwhelming evidence that most of the power institutions of the world are being run by puppets installed and controlled by an enemy who is intent on enslaving all life on the planet in a toxic electrosmog wireless control grid. We believe the situation is urgent. We think we should analyze all reasonable models and solutions and evaluate the merits of them, compare them, so readers can look at them, do their own research, dialogue, and take appropriate actions.
I therefore will ask you to participate as follows... Present your own model for how the world currently works, and what should be done to create the better world you have designed from where the world is now? Please? I could try to do it myself but I know you would do a much better job of it than I possibly could? You could present it here in the comments and I could then quote you on SolutionSeeking.Substack.com or you could subscribe there and present it in comments there and I would post it there as per your guidance and wishes. For me, this is the brainstorming stage, not the stage to pick my favorite model and solution. In Warren Buffet's own words: "There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”. https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/123058-there-s-class-warfare-all-right-but-it-s-my-class-the Buffet's class, through their 1% puppets installed in most of the power positions which control global power institutions, have, in the opinion of many, escalated this class war since they released COVID. In my opinion, the situation is urgent and it is time to consider all reasonable models and solutions.
Thanks again for these communications and all you do.
Substack appears to have somehow put my reply up one level in these comment threads. As a test, I will paste it here too. Sorry about the redundancy. I am curious about how that happened. Sorry about the redundancy. Let's see where this reply goes. It is repeated below.
Thank you so much. I will do my best to post it to SolutionSeeking.substack.com, along with the URLs you provide, and your Substack address. Please let me know if that is ok, and if you have any wishes I should keep in mind. I wish Substack allowed us to send files in these threads, as I would love it if you wrote the entire post yourself in a way that I could easily write an explanation for and just import what you want to share.

Yes, it appears that Substack does not post some of my replies to the appraise levels of the comment tree branch when the tree is extended. Amazing.
"...I end with some hopeful ways in which the empire might be dismantling itself and preparing the ground for a network of small, local economies."
Excellent read again Tereza, thank you for your valuable work. I have been seeking a micro solution for many years, for clear and obvious reasons, rather than attempting to unfurl what can be an impenetrable web of actors networked over centuries and probably at each others throats. I guess we are collateral damage, unwanted in a New World Order.
The centralisation of the industrial world has grown for 200 years fuelled first with coal and then with oil, the most energy dense commodity on the planet. The economics of oil production are not readily understood by most. It has driven the global population from 1 billion in 1800 to approaching 9 billion this decade; nature's solution to abundance.
But it has come to an end, or rather it came to an end at the turn of the century and thus the growth in prosperity has ended too and now the global financial system, upon which our temporary life of excess rests, has to fail also. Those with the power have known this for at least 70 years and have made plans accordingly to secure their privileges within a new paradigm.
The key to 'Protecting' our assets and 'Surviving' the coming global phase transition will be first to understand what the complex adaptive systems of current economics in a world bereft of cheap energy will look like. Yes, there's tonnes of hydrocarbons available for many lifetimes but this is not the nub of the problem - EROEI is the problem. I have written many essays on this subject - here are two:
Hi, noosfera. I'm reading your post on Georgie & Donny and your substack. I've quoted Slavsquat in other episodes on Ukraine. Can you point me to where he or you address this question, of whether those in the US/NATO pushing the war in Ukraine are answering to the same people pushing the Great Reset? I'm just looking to figure things out for myself but I haven't come to a clear opinion on it. I'd be curious as to yours.
I actually sent Matt a copy of my book, at his request, and he said the intro was the best Platonic argument he'd ever read. High praise, since we know the regard he holds for Plato. I think it's because I'm asking the reader to suspend judgment and allow me to rearrange the furniture in their head, before deciding the couch should go where it always goes ;-)
I put the intro into a Substack post, that I'll link if interested. And I don't know if you saw my post on Matt and Cynthia, which I'll link below:

- Rwanda (flag with some green)
It might all be a coincidence, of course.
Eureka, detective Rattus, you've discovered the secret connection between the mysterious Malone and the Rothschilds--race horses! I knew that all roads led ... ;-P
The deeper you go down the rabbit-hole of blue-yellow flags, the weirder it gets... ;p

So Zelskyyyy isn't just the second coming of Winston Churchill, he is indeed the second coming of Christ, complete with faith healings under the ol' blue & yellow. I knew it!
Brilliant.
Speaking of flags, check out the flag of the violent, government sanctioned, criminal organization known as the British East India Company.
Interesting picture at the top of this article.: http://mileswmathis.com/EIC.pdf
Woah! I'll keep this bookmarked. So interesting. I talk a bit about the EIC in my book but never saw this connection.
I read this on Amazon about your book, "Benjamin Franklin invented the colonial currency that ended poverty and spread prosperity … until British bankers outlawed it. This, not a tax on tea, sparked the Revolutionary War."
Mathis mentions Franklin and I bet you'd really find this interesting.: http://mileswmathis.com/jeffers.pdf
Apparently he has written an article about Franklin but I have not read it.
Here's one of my favorite Franklin pieces and I bet you'll find it charming! .:
Ben Franklin, at the tender age of 16 and with two years of formal schooling under his hat wrote this. I believe he was referring to Hawvawd.
“I reflected in my Mind on the extream Folly of those Parents, who, blind to their Childrens Dulness, and insensible of the Solidity of their Skulls, because they think their Purses can afford it, will needs send them to the Temple of Learning, where, for want of a suitable Genius, they learn little more than how to carry themselves handsomely, and enter a Room genteely, (which might as well be acquir’d at a Dancing-School,) and from whence they return, after Abundance of Trouble and Charge, as great Blockheads as ever, only more proud and self-conceited.”
Silence Dogood, No. 4
Printed in The New-England Courant, May 14, 1722.

Wow, another hero bites the dust! Here's his actual piece on Franklin: http://mileswmathis.com/ben.pdf. After 26 pp. of genealogy, my head is swimming! I think the takeaways are: 1) Franklin is Jewish 2) is gay 3) is related to British aristocracy and 4) is British intelligence. I understand there's a similar history for Mark Twain.
If I look at the words and actions of either, however, they don't support an aristocratic system. It's Franklin's economic system that enabled the colonies to be self-reliant, before the Currency Act. It broke with the British bankers and merchants.
As the only positive example I was able to find in 3500 yrs of Western Civ, I'm not quite ready to scrap him yet. But I'll keep the reservations in mind.
And thank you for checking out my book!
I usually skip the geneology because it makes my head swim as well.
Amazing how many heroes (and concepts) bite the duts on closer inspection. I've found it liberating to divest mself of myths though. I've even become used to the fact that I cannot really share what I've learned with others for obvious reasons. The covid farce has been good that way since I've found at least a few who are open to questioning the standard foolishness.
Now, if I could only get good people to quit calling mass media "mainstream," which it is not, by any means!!!!!!
Explain more how you make that distinction between mass and mainstream?
I've since read the article on the EIC. VERY interesting. And all of that fits exactly with my research on Hamilton and Morris and the Constitution Convention Coup, as I talk about here:
https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/the-constitutional-convention-coup
"Conveniently, every single nation out of 175 countries apparently had laws allowing unilateral executive action instantaneously bypassing every democratic safeguard.
And, bizarrely, every executive agreed with the same plan. Apparently. Or, ‘someone’ bypassed or overruled them all. It proved that our legislators, parliamentarians, delegates and ministers are merely window-dressing, when push comes to shove. They’re just actors, whether they know it or not.
Someone made a call."
So why not Sweden, Belarus, Nicaragua, Tanzania, Brazil, Uruguay, South Dakota, etc. then? Well, Sweden (and Japan) was largely spared in part because their constitution forbade lockdowns or mandates, but then again so did a lot of countries. Sweden, however, was already farther advanced than the rest of the world in terms of digital ID technology, so they were likely close to the heart of the Davos agenda somehow. As for the other countries and states? Well, most of them had leaders that opposed the globalist agenda to one degree or another. And of course Tanzania's President John Magufuli died under suspicious circumstances after not toeing the globalist line. And Lukashenko of Belarus was apparently repeatedly offered bribes in exchange for agreeing to lockdown but refused every time.
Good points, Ajax, and well-informed. I hadn't heard about most of these but Sweden was on my radar. What do you think about the general point--are Russia and China in on the GR, in your opinion?
Thanks. China is clearly in on the GR, as we know the WHO takes orders from Beijing. I am still sure not sure if Russia is against the GR or secretly in on the GR as controlled opposition, but probably the latter.
Does the WHO take orders from Beijing? Details, please!
De facto, they sure do. Just look at the messaging they put out about Covid shortly after the virus was discovered, they totally carried water for their masters.
Hmmm... no doubt that the WHO is central to all this but does it answer to Xi or does Xi answer to it? Or do both answer to a 'very few' (as NaT writes) behind the scenes? And was Xi put into his position by someone else, within China or not? I've been reading Pepe Escobar on the Chinese oligarch Guo. It seems like there, as well as here, the face cards aren't the players: https://thesaker.is/exclusive-the-fugitive-who-tried-to-spark-a-us-china-war/.
"Or do both answer to a 'very few' (as NaT writes) behind the scenes? "
I'd say that would be the case at least as far as I can tell.
Mao in a high-level meeting. Frank Coe, Israel Epstein, Elsie Fairfax-Cholmely, and Solomon Adler. Coe was one of the people responsible for the Great Leap Forward and the famine which killed forty million people. In the middle is the Red daughter of a “Christian” pastor, Anna Louise Strong. Among her other lifelong goofy exploits is the fact that she once led a nude women’s parade in Hanko, China which was not only a center of Red revolutionary activity, but a principal opium trading center in China.
There used to be a picture here but I have not checked to see if the link still works.
https://www.conservapedia.com/images/3/39/FrankCoegroup.jpg
Interesting. Hard to know for sure. But they all likely answer to the same oligarch masters.
"there’s no question of ‘if’ but only ‘who?’ "
Excellent question and thank you for helping us to figure this out!
The way I see it, the U.S. DOD has been the world's crooked cop, and is implementing this, but there is someone behind there calling the shots, and I don't mean Gates and Soros who I think are just middle managers.
I'm trying to help myself figure it out! Agreed on Gates and Soros being middle managers. Gates got his family money from banking, and his mom pioneered the 'philanthropath' model, as Margaret Anna Alice calls it. I didn't realize until researching this article that Soros was behind Tiananmen Square.
So many crooked cops! I started reading Whitney Webb's One Nation Under Blackmail, and it starts by looking at how the Sicilian, Chinese and Jewish mafias all started working together. There's definitely a culmination of that centralization going on now.
Yeah it's kind of like being around in ww2 times and not knowing about Hitler or Tojo (not picking on the nationalities here, just trying to conjure up an example).
They know that we don't know but they are afraid that we will know soon. People make the world go around and while I think conditions might make all this inevitable or very likely, there are probably a *very* few directing this.
Whitney Webb has done awesome work.
Great question.
Mass media appears intended to brainwash and dumb down the masses. The masses are not monolithic except for their gullibility, so there really is nothing mainstream about the masses.
"Mainstream" is a fraudulent concept intended to legitimize mass media as authoritative to a degree. The garbage our owners want the masses to believe is labeled "mainstream" because it suggests that it's somehow acceptable info when it's really nothing of the sort. It's really a product of our handlers and they are the "elite;" they are not of the mainstream by any means. This works because of the well known phenomenon that people are uncomfortable if they feel they're outside of some group or another. On the other hand, "mass media" has a well deserved connotation of being derogatory. If people think that what they're exposed to is mainstream, then they get to praise or statisfy themselves that they're "cool," "with it," "informed," etc. when in fact the opposite is often true.
I remember when the concept first came into vogue in the mid '80s and I find the google ngram interesting in that regard. Take a look at this, https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=the+mainstream+media&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=26&smoothing=3
Thanks for asking and please challenge me if that's not clear.
Oh, that's such an excellent point, Geoff. It really is another psyop. Yes, I remember my kids taking college classes in Mass Media, and me thinking that was going to be about techniques of manipulation--but no, it was how to use it to manipulate!
Completely different connotation than mainstream, assuming the majority, commonly held, widely accepted. Great catch!
Thanks. I didn't know if I was able to explain it. I luv your calling it a psyop. I never thought of it that way, but that's what it is along with so much else such as schooling which they misname as "education."
I thought that ngram was pretty revealing too; how 'bout you?
Yes, is that the percentage of books mentioning 'mainstream media' or with it in the title? Very revealing either way. And here's one of mine on schooling, although I have much more on my archived radio show from a decade back: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/reinventing-education
Thank you so much for the link. Once again, you've managed to pack so much into so little space, that I'm in awe and could easily spend half a day commenting. Short version.: You are amazing!!!!
As for debt, my advice is to avoid it like the plague. I don't know how I figured it out, but debt slavery, like wage and tax slavery, never looked attractive to me! Fortunately my wife takes the same approach and we live quite well though not fashionably.
Thanks for the compliment, Geoff, it's great to find a like mind. I'm with you on the debt and don't even have a credit card, which used to limit my rental car options until I found the P2P option, Turo. But that's not possible for this next generation. What you and I could do, paying down a house early and living beneath our means, has now become impossible because of the manipulation of interest rates. I talk about it in some of my episodes on housing, but I'll let you explore on your own since there are myriad topics we share. Thank you for subscribing!
"What you and I could do, paying down a house early and living beneath our means, has now become impossible because of the manipulation of interest rates. "
Lots of other shenanigans going on that way as well such as endelssly inflating housing prices by continuously conjuring up boxcar loads of money, stimulating markets by lowering interest rates and "guaranteeing" loans for otheriwse unqualified buyers, bailiing out large banks,etc., etc.
Yup, I don't know how young people can "make it."
It is refreshing to find like minded folks. That's one of the benefits of the covid scam. Sensible, perceptive and knowledgable people are coming out of the woodwork. Finally!
I see you mentioned John Taylor Gatto. I luv that guy's stuff. I've read about 1/4 of your excellent piece and I must say that I had no idea of the depth of the "education" and debt scam. I spent about 1/3 of my life in school and came out with zero debt (I worked my way through and lived below my means), so I never really looked into it.
Now, back to your piece!
I just checked to find he died in 2018. I remember he had cancer. He's a hero of mine for sure. Here are the radio episodes I did on him:
Oh! In looking that up, my website has suddenly disappeared. It's been on Network Solutions, which has gotten shadier and shadier. It really was a magnificent thing. Definitely a lesson in letting go, maybe wishing I'd done the copying and pasting I'd meant to, or transferred it somewhere else sooner. But I think the message is letting go. I'll do some investigating and maybe some grieving.
Short answer: Searching inside Google Books
Long answer: https://books.google.com/ngrams/info
And I thought I was a curious one! Bravo to you for ansking such great questions!
Matt Ehret is a bit too optimistic and naive.
He and Tom Luongo did an interview on unlimited hangout against the cynics, Riley Waggaman and an editor from off guardian.
Both Matt and Tom were ignorant of key points of Russia and their real convid policy.
Instead, they assumed that Putin was against mandates, and went on that.
Imagine you are a foreigner looking at US policy and economics. Would you trust CNN or fox news? Or would you look at other sources, just in case the state controls those media outlets?
Matt and Tom trust the mainstream Eastern media, while calling ours propaganda.
BTW, the Ukraine war reminds me of 1984. Even Scott Ritter is almost seeing the point, that somehow despite Russia's superiority with a 10 to 1 ratio of deaths in the war, Ukraine isn't running out of troops. And yet Russia had to retreat? And then they targeted the Ukrainian electrical grid. But still we have videos of how the lights are still on in many Ukrainian cities?!
Hmm, and I'm sure the chocolate rations are up 20% too lol!
"We were always at war with eastasia" while the east says "we were always at war with Oceania" and so on. Keep having excuses why people need to sacrifice economically and rights wise. Both sides' oligarchs benefit greatly.
Here's a good blog on the issues with the war and policies in Russia.
https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/
I'm enjoying all your comments on my videos, Rob. So happy that Tessa gave me the opening to place the bait, and you took it! It's really keeping me on my toes to have you in my audience.
The person who I am, perhaps, optimistic about is Sergei Glazyev. His economic policies are certainly changing the possibilities for the so-called non-aligned countries. I don't know how this is all going to turn out, obvi, but I don't believe it's all going entirely to plan. But I could be wrong and we're all doomed.
Thanks for the Slavsquat reference. I used his research for some of my earlier episodes on Ukraine and Russia. He's very interesting. And Corbett certainly had a lot of proof points for Putin being gung-ho on the mandates. So the plot, already mud, continues to thicken.
Thank you so much. I will do my best to post it to SolutionSeeking.substack.com, along with the URLs you provide, and your Substack address. Please let me know if that is ok, and if you have any wishes I should keep in mind. I wish Substack allowed us to send files in these threads, as I would love it if you wrote the entire post yourself in a way that I could easily write an explanation for and just import what you want to share. I know you are busy so I will just do my best.
Now I will thank you for the insights you have shared. And now I realize what I currently think the most urgent goal of SolutionSeeking.substack.com should be. I think what is urgently required is solution seeking to stop or halt the war against all life on the planet that the 1% are waging. Once this goal is achieved, then it will be time to consider and implement solutions like what you have created, in ways that guarantee complete transparency of all institutions, no concentration of extreme wealth and power over others, no government or other secrets, no secret control societies, etc. In nocturnal wanderings last night strong spiritual guidance was given and gratefully accepted. And, yet again, I did not get enough sleep, so when I make my usual grammatical and other amazing auto correct and other mistakes in this message, and then try to go back and correct it, please forgive me.
I think that Substack repositions comments in the order of 'liked' so my like of yours moves it up. It may also be giving us a new lease on space once it got into the narrow margins of indents.
For your stated goal, I'd add caution that the WEF promotes itself as halting the war against all life on the planet, which is why they're forcing countries to shut down farms and ranches, cut their use of oil and gas, all of which serves their purpose of depopulation.
And it's likely that you and I are both in the top 1% of income and assets on the planet, yes? It doesn't take that much. And it certainly doesn't give us any kind of security because the cost of living always rises to match, as long as the banks own the houses and we bid against each other for how much debt we can go into.
I also think that "halt or stop the war" needs definition. Does that mean kill the enemy, as war implies? Use the judicial system to imprison? Or is taking their destructive power away enough? Since you've defined the enemy as people, based on their wealth, rather than a system, it narrows the scope of the 'remedy'.
What I would suggest, instead of a file, is that you cross-post one of my episodes to your list as a starting point. It may get traction with some, it may not. The one on Build a New Model starts with the fundamental principles but this one looks at the solution in more detail: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/the-economics-of-anarchy.
Several great points.
I am new to Stack and learning. Thanks for your insights about reply tree hierarchies. I programmed trees and would prefer that the reply appear in the tree as a direct child of what was being replied to, but that clearly did not happen to me. Interesting.
The WEF propaganda and what this new post proposes for the SolutionSeeking think tank group are very different? Should we not allow surface similarities to limit us? Can I make the point described in this post in a better way, with a better title?
https://solutionseeking.substack.com/p/an-urgently-required-focused-analysis
My daughter has correctly pointed out that, in the US, her generation generally knows that the 2% are a big part of the problem. I fully admit that she is correct. Whether I am in the 1% is questionable, but I am certainly in the 2%. There are exceptions to any rule. Those who seek to ensure their well being and comfort at the expense of others might want to re evaluate that mind set within the context of what is happening and what the enemy has planned.
The think tank will try to explore all options in an effort to fully understand them all and hopefully avoid the violent ones. As the enemy (Buffet's called it a war, wars have enemies, so I therefore think the term "enemy" is fully appropriate here) continues its cowardly heavily propagandized war (actually slaughter) of the 99%, more of the 99% will become desperate, and potentially violent. The enemy probably plans to turn them against each other but I make a point of talking to the street victims before I give them some much needed money, and many of them know that the 1% are their real enemies, and they often work well together, often much better than the 2% who are still comfortable. The homeless numbers are growing, what used to be a nice upscale organic food market under a mile from my house is now a tent city for victims who only a few short years ago had nice jobs, nice residences, etc. Many of the 2% choose to ignore all of this and pretend everything is ok and is going to be ok, and only when they too are homeless might some of them be incentivized to act?
I like your idea of using a post of yours, maybe along with the associated or another YouTube clip as an introduction.
Thanks again for your meaningful comments.
Gotta be careful about saying the word "Rothschild" in even the slightest negative way in certain places these days. How about "Wrathchild", like the Iron Maiden song? That might be a good code word to get past the censors, lol. "Rockefeller" also works too and still makes sense.
I am so thankful I discovered this Substack. Thank you Tereza Coraggio for your incredible work. Some of you may be interested in what some are attempting, as described below. For those who want to participate in the much needed discussions of full range models of what happened and full range discussion of solutions, please take a look at the following
I could use some help here as facilitator of this young effort, in its preliminary brainstorming stage. I am not a writer. I am an engineer with success analyzing all possible models for complex challenges, considering all possible solutions, and analyzing the merits of the different possible solutions. It is curious that our enemy appears to do this kind of planning and analysis but our side does nothing like it. When do we start considering real, innovative solutions? Who else has done this or is doing it? Isn't it up to us?
Experience clearly shows that this kind of effort is not just for technical people, but, rather, the more diverse the well meaning participation, the better.
The following is an attempt to use Substack as a think tank sharing platform where all who participate respectfully and in good faith as equals can share and analyze a wide range of models and possible solutions. The hope is that, by doing this, we might come up with something that has not been thought of or tried so far, something that might save the planet.

Thank you.
I too am so thankful you discovered my stack, Larry, and was excited as soon as I read your interests on your profile! That was even before I saw that you'd subbed both my YT & Substack and posted lovely comments on each. This is an instant reward for having just customized my 'about' page in a way that sure seemed targeted to you, whether you read it or not ;-)
So, your objective of analyzing the problem and solutions is one that I have a ten-year headstart on, from writing my book How to Dismantle an Empire. My goal is networked commonwealths, at a size of a few hundred thousand. I end my book with four tools for community sovereignty. that would require system change but in very precise ways that give the greatest benefit to all while mildly inconveniencing a handful of bankers.
While the tools and the formula for gauging success are the same for every community, how they're applied should be different--since no two communities have the same problems, resources, culture, style. What's VERY exciting to me about you, is that I've envisioned this as an online simulation game where people are developing their own models and policies, and playing them out against predictable consequences. It gives points to both the thief and originator for kludging someone else's ideas. The objective is how many times you can get your local credits (that I call carets) to circulate, producing more goods and services, before they're siphoned out in the imperial currency, ie dollars. I think it would be really fun.
If you're still with me on small-scale economies, I'd suggest this episode on the universal principles that I think should underlie a new model: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/build-a-new-model. And perhaps this one on defining the purpose, process and a plan: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/we-need-to-agree-to-agree. And finally, since you mention the amazing Edward Snowden, I have an early YT episode on his interview with Russell Brand, which I called The Three Biggest Conspiracies in Plain Sight: https://youtu.be/aKK2Ntqah3A.
I enjoyed your Coming Soon post, and I'm looking forward to reading the rest. Happy to meet you!
Hello again Tereza. This is refreshing, exciting, and has incredible positive potential. I have a lot of reading to do. At the risk of jumping the gun, I cannot help but ask the following...
The clearly stated goals of the enemy that has long waged war on what I will loosely call the 99% through its 1% minions are as follows? To mutate all life on the planet through quantum dots, self organizing nano technology, etc.,so that each life form becomes a genetically modified organism that is remotely controlled via the wireless control grids that are being installed everywhere, including at the depths of the deepest oceans? While the enemy may target urban areas first, it clearly does not want to allow any exceptions? I therefore wonder of the viability of attempting to create a break away society. Isn't the next URL one of many examples of what the enemy does to somewhat successful independent societies?
https://www.globalresearch.ca/libya-ten-things-about-gaddafi-they-dont-want-you-to-know/5414289
If true, does this all require that the puppet control network of the enemy, the 1%, needs to be neutralized before the new societies can replace what have now?
Some links detailing what I have wrote here appear below. There are many models of reality and, for me, everything is a probability. IE. I do not necessarily believe what I wrote here to be true, but, at this time, I believe it to be very likely, maybe most likely.
In summary, I think that we face an enemy that may allow things like Freedom cells for now. But, my belief is that enemy intends on enslaving all life on the planet. Therefore, I believe that it is most likely that enemy needs to be replaced before we can create viable and sustainable break away societies. I believe that if that enemy is not replaced it will either assimilate all life or physically destroy anything that dares to defy it. If you disagree with any or all of this, perhaps it is important to explore this sooner rather than later?
Thanks again. Reading what you provide is much more pleasant than reading what I write. I look forward to working with you to discover all versions of the possible truths.

My Current Best Guess At The Best Way To Solve The World's Major Problems
https://solutionseeking.substack.com/p/my-current-best-guess-at-the-best
I do agree completely, Larry. The answer is inherent in the question. Before you can talk about solutions, you need to reach a common definition of the problem, and that needs to have every word used in it defined in a nonredundant way.
I'm very familiar with the Qaddafi example, one of my book chapters is Libya--Swept Away by the Currency. It wasn't just breaking away but using Libya's gold to back a Pan-African dinar that would replace the African franc. Oil is just chump change, the real game of thrones is controlling the currency in which oil trades--the petrodollar.
There's another Substack called The Rationalist run by Josh Ketry. I think what he's looking at is very similar to you, and I know he's looking for collaborators, if you wanted to check it out: https://joshketry.substack.com/.
To my mind, where I've disagreed with Josh is that he feels that the problem needs to be solved first at a central level, and then we can decentralize after. In my book I go back 3500 years to the origins of democracy and coinage to show there's not a snowball's chance in hell to win against these systems. The first four sections could be summarized with "Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here."
The first title of my book was A 2020 Vision: the Economics of Community (with the domain a2020vision.org still languishing) but I realized that without understanding the problem, no one would see the solution. So I had to start at the beginning.
Although I'm sorry I don't have text to it, I think the best place to understand the problem is the video on Snowden. Horrible (and realistic) as your example is, it's still just a symptom not a cause. If they create the money, they own the houses, which means they own the labor for free of every person with a roof over their head. You can't change anything without changing that.
And I agree totally on Freedom Cells. In this episode I critique that model and I tried hard to keep sarcasm out, but I'm not sure I was successful: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/what-is-the-greater-reset.
Thanks for recommending me, Larry, and for the fun dialogue!
This is excellent. Multiple layers of wide spectrum opportunities exist here? How to optimize this? Understand and support each other but follow our own parallel paths? Something else? I didn't sleep last night and am fading rapidly, so please forgive the associated inevitable incoherence in my reply. Thank you for all of this.
This is overwhelming. Between the desire to learn new things as per what you have gifted me with, what I am trying to do on my Substack, and the need to get out of my urban home to the remote nature based mountains that have beckoned my entire life, there are too many choices, and there is too little time. Balance? It is more like juggling. Perhaps I should support others and work with them, but concentrate on different models of ways to take the power from the entire 1%, freeze the enemy’s harm world wide while what remains of humanity works together to design and implement a better world? We may be rapidly running out of time? The enemy is not resting? It is busy putting the multiple complex pieces in place for its end game?
I can’t wait to dive into what you have provided. Thank you.
Rest well, Larry. I call what I'm doing socio-spirituality because it's taking a hard look at what's happening in the world while simultaneously questioning the reality of the world. Personally, I think the two need to go hand-in-hand. Otherwise, you feel panicked and urgent, as I once did. The empire is dismantling itself right now, I think. Your job is to make yourself happy and find the nature that your soul needs. I think time was made for us and you have all the time you need. People aren't even seeing the harms that are in front of their faces right now--I don't think they're going to see, on any wide scale, what you're talking about, although that doesn't mean it's wrong.
It really is going to be okay. That's my experience, again and again, when my life seems out of control and later I look back and realize the bad thing was really what made possible something better than I could have imagined. I'll leave you with one more link, to Charles Eisenstein and 2023: The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible, and then I'm going to sleep too. Here it is: https://charleseisenstein.substack.com/p/2023-the-more-beautiful-world-our
Good morning Tereza. Thank you for the kind and beautiful words. Charles Eisenstein's work is inspiring and his visions are wonderful. Working towards things like what you are discussing provides inspiration.
Strong logical and spiritual considerations are guiding me to continue to prioritize what is being attempted at SolutionSeeking.Substack.com. Others, and I, believe there is overwhelming evidence that most of the power institutions of the world are being run by puppets installed and controlled by an enemy who is intent on enslaving all life on the planet in a toxic electrosmog wireless control grid. We believe the situation is urgent. We think we should analyze all reasonable models and solutions and evaluate the merits of them, compare them, so readers can look at them, do their own research, dialogue, and take appropriate actions.
I therefore will ask you to participate as follows... Present your own model for how the world currently works, and what should be done to create the better world you have designed from where the world is now? Please? I could try to do it myself but I know you would do a much better job of it than I possibly could? You could present it here in the comments and I could then quote you on SolutionSeeking.Substack.com or you could subscribe there and present it in comments there and I would post it there as per your guidance and wishes. For me, this is the brainstorming stage, not the stage to pick my favorite model and solution. In Warren Buffet's own words: "There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”. https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/123058-there-s-class-warfare-all-right-but-it-s-my-class-the Buffet's class, through their 1% puppets installed in most of the power positions which control global power institutions, have, in the opinion of many, escalated this class war since they released COVID. In my opinion, the situation is urgent and it is time to consider all reasonable models and solutions.
Thanks again for these communications and all you do.
Substack appears to have somehow put my reply up one level in these comment threads. As a test, I will paste it here too. Sorry about the redundancy. I am curious about how that happened. Sorry about the redundancy. Let's see where this reply goes. It is repeated below.
Thank you so much. I will do my best to post it to SolutionSeeking.substack.com, along with the URLs you provide, and your Substack address. Please let me know if that is ok, and if you have any wishes I should keep in mind. I wish Substack allowed us to send files in these threads, as I would love it if you wrote the entire post yourself in a way that I could easily write an explanation for and just import what you want to share. I know you are busy so I will just do my best.
Now I will thank you for the insights you have shared. And now I realize what I currently think the most urgent goal of SolutionSeeking.substack.com should be. I think what is urgently required is solution seeking to stop or halt the war against all life on the planet that the 1% are waging. Once this goal is achieved, then it will be time to consider and implement solutions like what you have created, in ways that guarantee complete transparency of all institutions, no concentration of extreme wealth and power over others, no government or other secrets, no secret control societies, etc. In nocturnal wanderings last night strong spiritual guidance was given and gratefully accepted. And, yet again, I did not get enough sleep, so when I make my usual grammatical and other amazing auto correct and other mistakes in this message, and then try to go back and correct it, please forgive me.
Yes, it appears that Substack does not post some of my replies to the appraise levels of the comment tree branch when the tree is extended. Amazing.
"...I end with some hopeful ways in which the empire might be dismantling itself and preparing the ground for a network of small, local economies."
Excellent read again Tereza, thank you for your valuable work. I have been seeking a micro solution for many years, for clear and obvious reasons, rather than attempting to unfurl what can be an impenetrable web of actors networked over centuries and probably at each others throats. I guess we are collateral damage, unwanted in a New World Order.
The centralisation of the industrial world has grown for 200 years fuelled first with coal and then with oil, the most energy dense commodity on the planet. The economics of oil production are not readily understood by most. It has driven the global population from 1 billion in 1800 to approaching 9 billion this decade; nature's solution to abundance.
But it has come to an end, or rather it came to an end at the turn of the century and thus the growth in prosperity has ended too and now the global financial system, upon which our temporary life of excess rests, has to fail also. Those with the power have known this for at least 70 years and have made plans accordingly to secure their privileges within a new paradigm.
The key to 'Protecting' our assets and 'Surviving' the coming global phase transition will be first to understand what the complex adaptive systems of current economics in a world bereft of cheap energy will look like. Yes, there's tonnes of hydrocarbons available for many lifetimes but this is not the nub of the problem - EROEI is the problem. I have written many essays on this subject - here are two:
Understanding EROEI : https://austrianpeter.substack.com/p/the-financial-jigsaw-part-2-the-end?s=w
And just one potential solution: https://austrianpeter.substack.com/p/the-financial-jigsaw-part-2-localisation?s=w
I am writing Part 2 of my book as events unfold and the fog perhaps lifts a little - so I post some essays as I go.
Thanks for this!
Hi, noosfera. I'm reading your post on Georgie & Donny and your substack. I've quoted Slavsquat in other episodes on Ukraine. Can you point me to where he or you address this question, of whether those in the US/NATO pushing the war in Ukraine are answering to the same people pushing the Great Reset? I'm just looking to figure things out for myself but I haven't come to a clear opinion on it. I'd be curious as to yours.
I actually sent Matt a copy of my book, at his request, and he said the intro was the best Platonic argument he'd ever read. High praise, since we know the regard he holds for Plato. I think it's because I'm asking the reader to suspend judgment and allow me to rearrange the furniture in their head, before deciding the couch should go where it always goes ;-)
I put the intro into a Substack post, that I'll link if interested. And I don't know if you saw my post on Matt and Cynthia, which I'll link below:
