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.

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.

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?
