The amazing usefulness of AI! Rethinking Money Cretion

AI has its dark side and will ultimately control and consume everything, but in the meantime it has features that an be used to do some good which may help turn the tide of civilization before that can happen.
After feeding it the text of my revised and expanded Chapter 19—The Role of Governments in Solving the Money Problem, Gemini’s NotebookLM created this six minute video that does an excellent job of explaining what the chapter says and what it proposes. Take a look.

Who are the enemies?

Turn the world back right side up.

There are none so insightful and poetic as the Irish. This short speech by Terry McMahon sums up the rot that has overtaken Western countires as the people, by our misplaced trust, have allowed our so-called leaders to betray us and sell off our material and cultural heritage. No more! Listen, think, and act. Stand for truth, stand for reason, stand for freedom.

Upcoming webinar: Money, Power, Democracy, and War

I will be appearing in a free webinar on Humanity Rising this Tuesday, July 16, at 8 AM Pacific time (11 AM Eastern time). You can get details and register to participate via Zoom by clicking here: Money, Power, Democracy, and War. You will receive the Zoom link a few hours prior to the event. I will be answering such questions as:

  • Why are nations continually at war when people want peace?
  • What do wars produce, and what do they destroy?
  • Who gains and who loses in war?
  • Where do governments get the money they need to finance war?
  • Is there a link between the monetary system and the political system?

If you choose not to register, you can watch the live stream on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD7JpJetKtA.

Censored for promoting peace

I don’t normally endorse political candidates, but given the dismal state of American politics, I think it is important to support anyone who is the least bit independent, especially anyone who is being censored because they don’t prate the mainstream narrative. I’ve long been aware of Kucinich’s career and track record, and I think he is one of the few honest politicians on the scene today. I believe he means what he says.

Chapter Eight—The Separation of Money and State

Erecting the ‘wall of separation between church and state’… is absolutely essential in a free society.
     — Thomas Jefferson

The established beliefs about money in today’s world have become a sort of religion in which a fundamental tenet holds that government must, either directly or indirectly, have power over the system of money creation and circulation. This erroneous belief has taken the world to the brink of disaster which will surely ensue unless we take steps to depoliticize money by achieving the separation of money and state.
It should be obvious by now that there will never be peace in the world so long as those who control our national governments are able to conjure up out of thin air the seemingly endless amounts of pseudo-money they need to pay for wars and whatever else might bolster their political and economic interests.

Read all about it in Chapter8—The Separation of Money and State, the latest chapter to be published in my new 2024 edition of The End of Money and the Future of Civilization.

You can find it right now on Future Brightly, and it will be published soon here and on my own Substack channel.

Further chapters will continue to be posted as they are completed. Watch for Chapter Nine to be posted soon.

The betrayal of the Ukrainian people; you’re next!

I feel sorry for the Ukrainian people, not only have they been conscripted to fight a proxy war for the US against the Russians, a war in which despite massive financial and military support they are being slaughtered; they have now been selected to be a demonstration project for a US-created information system that gives the Kiev government all the information it needs to control every aspect of their people’s lives. Little by little, place by place, Big Brother is enslaving the masses.   

I asked Bing Chat to give me a summary of the history, development and capabilities of the Diia phone app which is the heart of the system now being deployed. Here is what it gave me:

Generated by Bing Chat, Monday, October 2, 2023

The Diia app is a mobile application, web portal, and brand of e-governance in Ukraine that was launched in 2020 by the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine . The app allows Ukrainian citizens to use digital documents on their smartphones instead of physical ones for identification and sharing purposes. The Diia portal allows access to over 50 government services, and the government plans to make all kinds of state-person interactions available through Diia.

The name “Diia” is an acronym for “State and Me” in Ukrainian. The app was built in partnership with the USA and is poised to be shared with other countries. In fact, at the 2023 World Economic Forum in Davos, USAID Administrator Samantha Power said that the US hopes to replicate the success of Diia in other countries.

Diia was first presented on September 27, 2019, by the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine as a brand of the State in a Smartphone project. Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov announced the creation of a mobile app and a web portal that would unite in a single place all the services provided by the state to citizens and businesses. On February 6, 2020, the mobile app Diia was officially launched.

In April 2020, the Ukrainian government approved a resolution for experimental usage of digital ID-cards and passports which would be issued to all Ukrainians via Diia. On October 5, 2020, during the Diia Summit, the government presented a first major update of the app and web portal branded “Diia 2.0”. By the end of 2020, the app had more than 6 million users, while the portal had 50 available services.

Please note that while I have tried my best to provide accurate information based on my sources, some details may be outdated or incomplete.

According to an article in 9to5mac.com,

Ukraine has been at the forefront of government digitalization. The country became the first one in the world to allow a digital ID on a smartphone to be universally accepted as an alternative to a paper one. The Diia app can serve as a legally-recognized document for:

  • ID card
  • Foreign passport
  • Student card
  • Driving licence
  • Vehicle registration document
  • Vehicle insurance certificate
  • Tax identity
  • Birth certificate
  • IdP certificate (identity-management system)

The Diia app also provides access to over 70 government services, allowing citizens to do things like register as self-employed within the app in just 15 minutes.

Further, according to one source, the government has already announced that the payment of benefits will be conditional on the presence of a Covid-19 vaccination certificate. While the use of the app is for the moment voluntary, do not for one moment think that it will remain so, or that similar systems won’t be imposed in other countries around the world as US officials have already stated their intention to do so. It’s a giant step forward in the agenda toward greater centralization of power and wealth and the elimination of democratic government. Any astute observer can see that right and left politics have been integrated into a global despotic “uniparty” under elite control. As Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum has clearly stated, they have trained and placed in positions of power in countries around the world, people, like Justin Trudeau (PM of Canada) and Emmanuel Macron (President of France) who will promote their agenda.  He has also told us, “You will own nothing…” Neither will you be allowed to do anything without the permission of Big Brother.
