How is it that in under 7 minutes you make understandable a concept that all the other commentators flesh out into the incomprehensible? Your syntax is joyfully appreciated and your mindset and persona are pure and beautiful.

John will teach you what no college econ/finance course ever will.

BUT, I do have a question for John, what should we do about it besides the near impossibility of dismantling the system? Making bartering networks, cooperative communities, self sustaining homesteads? Really John, we want to know what YOU think to do, not just the how and why they are corrupt.

Thanks to John's education, I once made a post to prove the fed was a private bank to the non-believers:

SWIFT Planning Launch of Central Bank Digital Currency Trading Platform in 12 Months

From: Sundance at conservativetreehouse.com

“The same way the Patriot Act was not designed to stop terrorism but rather to create a domestic surveillance system. So too were the “Russian Sanctions” not designed to sanction Russia, but rather to create the financial control system that will lead to a USA digital currency. The Western sanctions created a financial wall around the USA (dollar-based west), not to keep Russia out, but to keep us in. The Western sanction regime, the financial mechanisms they created and authorized, created the control gate that leads to a U.S. digital currency.”

From Beyond the Wire – The Information War, CBDCs and a Metaphor for Those Who Need

The Russian sanctions were not created to block the Russians. The Russian sanctions were created to wall-in the West.

Your videos are without equal across the internet.

Thank you for your work. Thank you for your humor.

One typo. You may correct it by searching for "Two are two" and replacing 'Two' with 'There'.

I think that most of the people that pay homage to a rule or measure of law are boxing a brick wall. These lawless entities such as the federal reserve (no caps on purpose) have been at larceny, murder and mayhem for hundreds of years. Trusts, decedent estates created from the mayhem, death and destruction of lives run our lives. The Private Membership Associations in the guise of governments, police, churches are sucking dry to corpses, the peoples of the earth.

But we don't want to throw the baby out with the bath water do we? Govt bad + big banks bad = what? Community currencies? Maybe that is what they wanted all along. Smart cities could have their own city coins! A city-state, or polis, was the community structure of ancient Greece and unless we escape from the digital matrix, that is where we may be led by influencers.

In the classic 1941 Powell and Pressburger movie "49th Parallel," it is eventually the rule of law from the U.S. side of the border, wielded by just average citizens, that rebuffs the Nazi plot.

Watching it these past few years, that moment of triumph in the film is experienced now as a Psalm 137 moment: "By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept, as we remembered Zion." What used to be, just a generation ago...

I’m sorry if this is off topic a bit but I’d love to hear your take. What do you think of this Brookings paper from 2009 in regard to current events?

1/ Recent regulatory proposals such as Basel III and other prudential initiatives could significantly impact the resilience of the U.S. Treasury market. These measures might reduce the capacity of financial intermediaries and increase costs for participants. https://twitter.com/BullStockss/status/1769882022900531496

(That's July 2024 if that's the case of 1987 Style Market Crash) Ruffer LLP, the UK-based asset manager more popularly known as 50 Cent, is now allocating an all-time high two-thirds of its AUM to cash, in preparation for a 1987-style market meltdown that could occur in the next 3 months. https://twitter.com/Barchart/status/1779618308305600609

Not so much the consummate face of rent-seeking taking a piss (on any number of things . . .) as perhaps cutting off her nose in spite. Except lacking such wherewithal in what she is saying moreso to ultimately resemble something like that unfortunate possessed fellow in "Poltergeist" desperately ripping it off in the mirror . . .
