Another brilliant analysis by Scott Ritter.

Listen to this from RFK, Jr.

The Senate conformation hearings, if allowed to proceed, will be interesting indeed.

The End of Everything Approaches

Will Western “leaders” see the utter folly of their aggressive actions to dominate the world and accept the reality of a multipolar cooperative world order, or will they continue to provoke a nuclear war, which will mark the end of everything that humans have striven for millennia to achieve?

Scott Ritter’s call to action.

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.

Thought and Action in Turbulent Times

We are living in very turbulent and uncertain times in which division and confusion are being intentionally sown by competing forces in hopes of capturing hearts and minds to garner support for one agenda or another. But people are allowed to see only the facades of agendas that are largely hidden; that is why it is essential to pay attention to every voice and every perspective and measure each in relation to our values, attitudes, and beliefs, allowing dissonant evidence, when it is presented to us, some space for serious consideration.

There is much more I could say about this but my intention at the moment is to share a few bits that may be useful to you in your efforts to understand what’s happening in the world, what the near future may bring, and what you might need to know in prepare for it.

Firstly, I recommend to you the thoughts of Charles Eisenstein, author of Sacred Economics, who writes from the perspective of “The transcendent center,” which he describes as reconciling polarized issues by unearthing the unconscious assumptions both sides share and the questions neither side asks.” It does not seek compromise but “unifies them in a greater synthesis.”

Follow him on Substack and ponder, in this order, these recent posts, each of which I found deeply challenging: Shades of Many Colors, Trump and the Tempests of Hate, and, More Naivete, Please.

Secondly, take a few minutes to watch and listen to this recent interview by Judge Andrew Napolitano of noted journalist Pepe Escobar in which the situations in Ukraine and the Middle-east were discussed. Pepe reports on an important conference that just took place in Istanbul in which various knowledgeable political figures and scholars discussed Israel, Iran, and other players in the ongoing conflict, and likely scenarios for future developments in the region and globally.

And thirdly, if that doesn’t get your attention and raise alarm bells, listen to this one:

Sandpiles, Instability, and Wishful Thinking 

John Mauldin’s recent article, Late Summer Sandpile, is one of his best–thought-provoking and very timely. As an investment advisor, his primary concern is with financial markets and systems, but the academic research findings in complexity and systems theory have a broader relevance. Thinking about systems as sand piles, academics can examine the dimensions of stability and instability as they occur in a wide variety of systems. After reading the article, I felt inclined to respond. Here below is what his article evoked in me.

Our civilization “sand pile” is comprised of many diverse but related fingers of instability, some small, some large, and many interconnected; that puts our entire civilization at risk. Among the most worrisome features are the astronomical growth of debt, religious, and cultural conflicts, competing political ideologies, and international intrigues and violence involving players that are now in command of unprecedented destructive power. If the conflict between Ukraine/NATO and Russia doesn’t trigger a nuclear war in the near term as Peter Koenig expects, the mountains of debt being built up will trigger a global financial collapse in the not-too-distant future. Markets are much more centralized than they used to be and are increasingly dominated by a few major players which tosses free market theories of market behavior out the window. Virtually all markets today are manipulated by huge corporations, investment funds, and asset management firms. But the biggest manipulators are the national governments of the major powers and their partners who run the global banking cartel. The top dog among them is the US government which has greatly abused the status of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. It doles out privileges not only via legislation and executive orders, but increasingly by the preferential expenditure of massive amounts of legalized counterfeit money to favored clients and proxy governments in a desperate attempt to preserve and extend its “full spectrum dominance,” and replace democratic national governments with a One-World neo-feudal world order. The US and its allies are pushing the limits in the hope and expectation that there will not be a reaction big enough to upset their apple cart. But as Mauldin reminds us, one small grain of sand is often all it takes.

Scott Ritter, champion of peace and defender of the Constitution. Listen to him.

Scott Ritter is a former Marine intelligence officer and chief weapons inspector for the wapons treaty between the US and USSR. He has been working diligently to reduce the threat on nuclear war, a war which is becoming ever more likely given the aggressive stance of the recent US administrations that have not only refused to negotiate with presumed adversaries been but seem bent on extending at all costs US and western control of resources in counries around the world. Scott tells his story in his recent post titled, My Lost Summer, on Substack. I hope you will read it.

Social Credit and the End of Meta-Feudalism

I am pleased to present this guest editorial by my long-time friend and correspondent, Christopher Quigley. Christopher in an expert in market analysis, and a proponent of the Social Credit philosophy of C. H. Douglas. I think you will find it useful.  —  T.H.G.

Excerpt:

Social Credit and the End of Meta-Feudalism

The King is dead long live the King” so goes the feudal aristocratic mantra establishing power continuity. Death and birth are a part of reality and amidst the pain of death the love of life must prevail. Currently many say that American society is dying but in fact it is experiencing a transformation.  
—  Major Clifford Douglas

The quote above, made in 1934, perhaps would have been more correct if Douglas had said that America was going through a “paradigm shift” rather than a transformation. This shift was in essence a revolution at the time, a revolution based on growing consciousness, labour unrest, social dysfunction and expanding poverty. Today this trend is still emerging with other forces driving the trend, forces such as the growth of internet learning networks and the diminished effectiveness of mass broadcasting. Thus, average Americans are finally starting to think as sovereigns again. Their enlightened thinking had stopped following the disaster of the civil war of 1861-1865. This national cessation of practical awareness allowed the then Federal micro-system to usurp the Union macro-system through credit power. As a result, today the Federal Government is now macro, and the Union of States micro, but this could change over the next 50 years.

The global elites want the real American economy to contract. They desire a constrained and hobbled society which is more dependent and demanding, more complex, more controlled, more diverse, more fractured, more locally ineffective— In a word, meta-feudal. To understand a world that is meta-feudal you should watch movies such as “Brazil,” “Rollerball,” and “Blade Runner.” These worlds are technologically advanced but disintegrated and astonishingly unequal.

The meta-powers work through fabricated “crises.” The elite set up the last economic “crisis” through the “originate to distribute” Basel banking agreement of 1998. From this model evolved the hyper property bubble of post-2000, the “credit” collapse of 2007-2008, and the market-fixing credit derivative system and asset laundering off-balance-sheet accounting protocols currently in place. The credit collapse eventually led to the new “improved” post-Covid, bailed-out banking oligarchy now in place. This club involves far fewer players than existed heretofore but the financial club that is in power is now manifestly more globally influential.

Webinar — Money, Power, Democracy, and War

My webinar, Money, Power, Democracy, and War, that was aired on Humanity Rising last Tuesday, July 16, was recorded. In case you missed it, you can view it on YouTube. During the first 16 minutes or so, our host Jim Garrison expressed his thoughts on current national and world events; that was followed by his introduction, our presentation, and some further conversation.  A few of the questions addressed were:

  • 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?

In the process, I delved into some pertinent history and events that set the stage for our present deepening crisis, then began to describe the pathways towards re-empowerment of the people through decentralized initiatives involving independent means for measuring and exchanging value, beginning at the community level. Toward the end of the discussion, I offered my views on Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain technology. I’d be happy to have your comments.
