This gives me hope, Mathew. Thanks for your work in this area - along with everything else you are doing!

I appreciate that this is the first comment because I do believe that the Kunlangeta intend to engineer a feeling of hopelessness. I believe that is behind the high addiction rates and increasing rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide. Many people do not see how to participate in solutions and I hope to cover more and more solutions over time.

I agree with you 100% about the Kunlangeta! I hope to buy Valhalla tokens one day. I'm now on their mailing list, so now I can keep up with developments. And since I'm a copywriter and marketer myself, I intend to offer my help, if they need it. I'm not sure if anyone will get the message, since I'm contacting them on LinkedIn. But I figure, why not? It just adds to the energy of hope, which we need more of.

Thanks again, Mathew, for everything you do! It has got to be difficult at times. Just know, you are making a difference!

Yes a banks motives and consequences of their decisions sets the tone. Large banks too big to fail create the liability for us all

I've started listening to the podcast of Oliver Studd. We need to hear more like this as we are all parched for hope.

I very much appreciate Mathew bringing Richard Werner to our attention many weeks ago. His explanation of the credit creation theory of money creation is intuitively easy to understand. I wish we could find the book "Princes of the Yen" for a lower price, but I will watch the documentary.

Werner refutes the notion that the Federal Reserve sets interest rates; rather, the Fed chases the market. I presume the Germans do not understand that community banking is what has made their country prosper over recent decades. In any case here's to community banking, good credit underwriting practices and loaning money for productive use in society rather than asset speculation. And productive use does not include empty DEI initiatives detached from a business purpose.

Sadly, a lot of the most important books are so hard to find. I am beginning to put together my own library of books that I identify as rare and important.

Werner is one of the more important economists in the world, and Oliver has a tremendous opportunity to turn that mentorship into something valuable to the world.

Hearing about how Germany has the world's most thriving small business/artisan environment is interesting. I plan to read more about that, and to be able to incorporate that into promotion for small business and education that leads toward it.

I am all for decentralized Community Banking.

I am however against Digital Currency.

I am all for bringing back the Gold standard.

Also Richard Werner.... Con Man.

Qe & QT are problems created by him.

Blockchain is total control and worthless.

I am all for decentralized community Banking but the value must be set in Gold.

I am also offering a 100 Trillion $ Business the end of Oil and the end of Aviation.

What my proposal is, is nothing short of a complete overhaul of society a Zero Emission World and decentralized Community Banking together with Free Education to the best of everyone's ability.

I am far ahead of everyone.

You can read my proposal here... and you cam leave your thoughts.

I Invite everyone to contribute... especially decentralized Community Banking.

What I propose is too big for one person alone.

Do you know the difference between Werner's version of QE and the way the Fed used it after the mortgage bond market collapse?

Expand full comment

No I do not...

Personally I thought it was the same...

I think what the Fed has done with QE and QT which now leads to the great Depression³ is criminal... and more it is calculated and wanted destruction of our society.

Jamie Diamond is responsible for that he also was behind the Libor scam.

The great reset.

Money in general and I feel that for a very long time is an unstable System that creates an unstable society.

That is why I like to bring the Gold standard back.

In the PBD interview, in the first minute he mentions that Werner was a WEF Young Global Leader ... is that not a big red warning flag - or at least a cause for concern?!? I long ago heard of Werner and really enjoyed his Princes of the Yen and have seen a number of his talks ... I learned from them and enjoy them (partly I'm a sucker for his pleasantly European/British English accent). But it's news (and not in a good way) to me that he was affiliated with the WEF ... has he disavowed it? Does it matter?
