Shubick for me gives the best answer to the question Posed by Per Kurowski
http://perkurowski.blogspot.com/2016/04/here-are-17-reasons-for-why-i-believe.html
Undefined purpose: The regulators never defined the purpose of our banks before regulating these. That’s why they only cared about banks’ safety, as mattresses into which stuck away cash, and cared not one iota about the vital social purpose of banks of allocating credit efficiently to the real economy. “A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are for.”John A Shedd, 1850-1926.
”The monetary and financial system of an economy are part of the socio-politico-economic control mechanism used by every state to connect the economy with the polity and society. This neural network provides the administrative means to collect taxes, direct investment, provide public goods, trade. The money measures provide a crude but serviceable basis for the accounting system which in turn, along with the codification of commercial law and financial regulation are the basis for economic evaluation and the measurement of trust and fiduciary responsibility among the economic agents. A central feature of a control mechanism is that it is designed to influence process. Dynamics is its natural domain. Equilibrium is not the prime concern, the ability to control the direction of motion is what counts.
Money and financial institutions provide the command and control system of a modern society. The study of the mechanism, how they are formed, how they are controlled and manipulated and how their influence is measured in terms of social, political, and economic purpose pose questions, not in pure economics, not even in a narrow political economy, but in the broad compass of a political economy set in the context of society. ”

Then the Question, If we assume that the Public Good is the Purpose of Public Policy?
Dr Adrian Wriggley.
it is assumed The Committee is seeking to further the public interest, even where this may conflict with the private interests which usually dominate the analysis and debate. This will pose a major challenge to those who have learned their analysis exclusively through channels devoted to promoting private interests, and must “unlearn” erroneous but pervasive assumptions and principles.

I give them all a rest.
I let them rest from nine till five,
For I am busy then,
As well as breakfast, lunch, and tea,
For they are hungry men.
But different folk have different views;

MELISSA CUIMMEI – THE IRISH INQUIRY, EXPLAINS THE (“WHY?”) OF EVENT 201
My own view is that the usefulness of the (“Covid19”) “Event 201”, has run its course and served its purpose, much continued resistance will gain traction and serve as infiltrated controlled opposition. The Vaccine Passport identity 2020 aspects of the game plan continue under radar and the project of causing sovereign debt defaults is somewhat more important to the Trilateral objectives and here the Energy manipulations and food supply manipulations vis supply chains form the focus of the next stage of the “Green New Deal”
The Austerity inherent to the Trilateral dogmas will continue to kill and affect the lives of people by orders of magnitude greater than adverse reactions to the ” MRNA” muck being pedaled. The muck is seen as more than worth the collateral damage as identity command and control through carbon footprint privileges is inherent to the re-basing and devaluation of the world’s FIAT currencies, this is where the Sovereign debt crisis comes in. Open Banking protocols all revolve around online technology as does Blockchain. Bitcoin is built around an NSA patent. etc. ( AADHAAR)
See Dr Pippa Malgrem in the context of the Going Direct Mind Map.
The Context of the Event 201 episode must be considered as a subscript to the Larger Systems of Governance in play here. The ultimate objective is to institute an Authoritarian feudal regime. The antidote is the disinfectant of bringing the whole revised governance structure into the sunlight. The main outcome of the event 201 event and the “Green New Deal stuff” will be the end of the pretense of Liberty

Melissa Ciummei, a financial investor from Northern Ireland, has serious concerns that injection passports will be used more like data passports to control participation in society.
She believes the passport system was manufactured to bring about a financial reset, replacing our failing fiat currency system. Trillions of dollars are owed to banks and there’s no way to pay it back.
Because passports are crucial for the implementation of this new financial system, mandatory vaccination of all citizens, young and old, will be imperative for the plan to succeed.

Weekend read – The cause of stagflation
Stagflation as sabotage
Created by political economists Jonathan Nitzan and Shimshon Bichler, the theory of capital as power is decidedly non-mainstream. (It’s about as far from neoclassical economics as you can get.) Whereas mainstream economists look at capitalist society and see ‘productivity’ everywhere, Nitzan and Bichler see business ‘sabotage’.
It’s an idea that at first seems incendiary. But once you think about the behavior of real-world corporations, the notion of business sabotage seems on point. Everywhere we look, we find big corporations behaving badly.
Sci-fi writer Cory Doctorow calls this behavior ‘enshittification’. Looking at social media companies, he notes that what people want from their social-media apps is simple. People want to connect with their friends. And they want a feed that shows them what their friends are up to. That’s it.
What’s this enshittification got to do with inflation? Everything!
Take Twitter as an example. After Elon Musk bought Twitter, he moved frantically to cut costs and raise prices. Almost immediately, Musk turned on the inflation dial by charging for blue checkmarks.1 Prior to this move, blue checkmarks had been Twitter’s way of authenticating ‘accounts of public interest’. Sure, the authentication was somewhat arbitrary … but at least it was free.
Today, the same blue checkmark will cost you $8 a month. And it’s no longer a marker solely of prestige. No, the blue checkmark is now a pay-to-play system that gives you “priority ranking in search, mentions and replies”. In other words, if you want your followers to see your content (something you previously got for free), you’ve got to hand Mr. Musk $8 a month. That’s business sabotage, plain and simple. It’s inflation through enforced scarcity.
The ‘enforced’ part is key. Yes, we live in a world in which resources are finite, and hence ‘scarce’. But regardless of a resources’ innate abundance, maintaining high prices requires restriction.
I invite you in today with my clients' blessings. We live in troubled times. History's lessons are scorned. Those with the courage to make impossible choices are pilloried for sport. The sin of ZIRP & QE are presumed to be other-worldly 'free lunch.'https://t.co/KvIpH8f0tb pic.twitter.com/MccOhd4oKx

“Real estate is the nasty. In that latest data, the total amount of real estate lending was $5.061 trillion. The exposure of the big 25 was only $2.351 trillion. The small bank sector was on the hook for $2.693 trillion: 53.2% of all bank real estate lending. Unfortunately, the situation is much, much worse. Within the total real estate lending number, commercial real estate (CRE) amounts to $2.631 trillion. Small banks are responsible for a record 68.9% share of CRE lending: 1.806 trillion of it.”

Chinese wage rises.
by Golem XIV on MAY 17, 2013 in LATEST
The Chinese authorities have, for some time now, been talking about the desirability of moving their economy from being overly reliant on exports to one which has a significant domestic component of goods produced in China for consumption in China. The central authorities have wished rather publicly that more investment and bank lending was going in to domestic production and consumption and less into property speculation. But wishing, however fervently, has had little effect.
So news of what, if we dare trust Chinese government’s figures, would appear to be very large wage rises, seems to me to be very significant. As the Wall Street Journal reports today,
Wages in China continued to climb at a double-digit pace last year despite slower economic growth.
In an economy which is still quite heavily, centrally – if not planned and controlled, then certainly centrally meddled with – then such large and across the board wage rises would suggest a deliberate policy. I do not see these wage rises as the central authorities as losing control of wages but quite the opposite. I suggest that allowing wage rises is part of a policy of creating a consumer demand to be satisfied by domestic production.
So while Bloomberg recenlty ran the headline,
China Surging Wages Threaten Economy’s Competitiveness
I disagree. Bloomberg’s article goes on to report that,
China’s surging wages and other costs are showing signs of undermining the competitiveness of the nation’s economy, threatening its growth potential, the Asian Development Bank said.
Whatever competitiveness such wage rises undermine as far as exports are concerned, they also create the income that is essential for fostering domestic consumption. I think the wage rises are strong evidence of the Chinese central governments’s determination to re-balance China’s economy away from pure export.
It is far too early to proclaim the end of the commodities bubble or the constriction of imports from Australia and Canada but if I were in either of those countries I would be keeping an eye on the situation and wondering about balancing ny own economy.
The less China relies on export the less accommodating they will feel they need to be towards western economic circumstances. At the moment China does rely on exports and therefore has some care for the health of those countries to which it needs to export. How long before China feels less concerned?
Any country that can force a one child policy on a billion people can certainly set its sights on creating a consumer middle class. When such a class exists, we might find China’s relation with the West will be less accommodating than it is now, particularly towards our debt.

‘Hello Robin,
Of course you are right that debt abd credit will always exist.
When I read GB’s comment I read it as referring to fractional reserve banking as we currently have it – controlled by the private banks. It is that kind of sovereign debt I was thinking of in my reply.
I don’t think many people object to one person lending to another or a chit of credit acting as a temporary store and means of transferring wealth. Perhaps some do. I am not one.
Credit is a useful social mechanism. But it has got out of hand and into the hands of a few who use it to cause destitution and as the means to create huge and increasingly non-democratic power.
I think we can and must move away from such a distorted and morally corrupt social construction.
I am not looking for moral or political purity in some utopian fashion. I am simply looking for a better social compact and one that fits to an environmentally constrained world not the old idea of ever expanding growth.’
In response, here is a proposal for an Aristotelian Asset Money System.
‘When the lamp of money is lit a circle of shadows form filled with usurers, counterfeiters, thieves, swindlers and sociopaths. The light must be protected at all costs or the destiny of humanity is stolen.’
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
― Richard Buckminster Fuller’So Aristotle calls money a creature of the law. Not a commodity from nature but an abstract social institution. Its essence is not tangible wealth in itself, but a power to obtain wealth. THIS IS REGARDED AS A SUPREMELY IMPORTANT DISTINCTION – BETWEEN MONEY and wealth. If you are always trading in “things” it’s just an advanced form of barter.’
Zarlenga, ‘The Lost Science of Money.1 – The Aristotelian system
I suggest we create a pure Aristotelian money system as an education device, as a system which is both transparent and yet resistant to fraud, a system designed to maximise freedom and value for its participants, with money acting simply as a medium for trade and not as a tool for usury.
This maximises the human potential for relationship, art, self discovery, growth and the pursuit of higher states of consciousness.2 – What software to use?
The software platform would probably be the Cyclos software which runs many community currencies. There is a Cyclos 4 version now available in Beta form which will be free to non-profit organisations. (
http://www.cyclos.org/
)
This Cyclos software includes online banking, mobile banking, credit and debit card creation, and marketplace e-commerce.
https://www.cyclos.org/features3 – Two forms of money
There are two fundamental ways of creating abstract money once we move beyond gifts, barter and commodity exchanges. They are primarily debt money in private hands and asset money in the hands of the nation.
Debt money usually comes into existence at the moment of the loan creation and is burdened with the three demons of inflation, interest and taxation.
Asset money exists like the waters behind a dam wall, self-existing, relatively eternal, and when controlled correctly it supplies water and power in amounts to cause neither drought nor flood. It is the money system proposed by Aristotle.4 – The Money Unit
I propose that the money unit for the system would be similar to the scientific measurement for the metre which is the meeting point for time, space and the speed of light. (” a metre is the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second.)
The money unit then, the Aristotelian unit of A, is the distance the human body-mind of a normal 80kg human covers at walking speed (5km/hr) in a period of one hour (5000m.) This A unit deems walking, the state of ‘relaxed falling’, to be similar in value to one hour of focused mind in study and intent.
These units can then be converted into joules, calories, light quanta, etc, as desired.This measurement is the historical meeting point for human physiology, mind, time, space and the speed of light – a measurement which has been inflation proof for the last four million years of human hunter-gatherer existence and which is inherently logical to the human psyche.
(To say that we have no money while we have the life force of the community is to be simply hung upon the ‘cross of gold’ of William Bryan.)Further, just as all previous measurement systems used by western science became redundant when the speed of light was measured in metres, so too does this system reflect a crossing of the ‘historical Rubicon’ into the realm of quantum finance.
(FAQ1 – Why talk of walking speed when we now travel at the speed of a Ferrari? Answer – when we add the hours spent in learning the craft to make the money to own the Ferrari we may be travelling slower than the hunter-gatherers from four million years ago at 5km/hr!)
FAQ2 – What differentiates between the work hour of a doctor and a street sweeper? Answer – the sweeper can charge 10 units an hour, the doctor 100. These measures simply reflect the completed hours of learning and experience which the professional brings to the task.)Note: At this point the A unit would not be transferable into global financial currency systems because of the inherent problems with the legal and taxation systems. The A system would simply be a self functioning marketplace to demonstrate Aristotelian principles.
5 – Central Monetary Authority
The A system will have a central Monetary Authority for the creation and removal of A money, it will not be a peer to peer system, nor a debt or gift system.
The Authority will have the power to issue A money to itself instead of external taxation for its cost structure and projects. All efforts to avoid charging interest will be made.
(Interest on loaning a commodity such as gold is logical, interest on debt money created from nothing at the point of the loan however is simply criminal.
The problem Arab banking has with the interest problem with commodity backed money should be avoided with money based simply upon human life force. Losses can simply be voided within the system and penalties imposed.
There will however be strict guidelines with the initial loans and without the charges of taxation and interest echoing through the system I suspect the losses would be minimal as interest alone can be 40% of the final cost of goods and services.
This of course is all part of the educational experiment and the belief in the essence of human integrity!)Note: If the A system was to be used for a nation, perhaps after a debt Jubilee and a debt Commission, then the Monetary Authority would have members elected by the general population, with four year tenures, who must approve the budgets of the Monetary Authority. This removes the potential power abuses of the professional bureaucracy and the inherent human tendency to create secret cabals.
6 – Starting the system running
Upon signing up to the A system each person would receive 100 A units plus a further 20 A’s per month for five months to make a seed fund of 200 A’s.
The Monetary Authority can also create A’s to expand the system according to need and numbers. A’s can also be withdrawn if the system starts to overheat.Each A unit would be numbered with no rehypothecation, securitisation or fractional reserve creation. Each A’s position within the system would be instantly traceable. Accounts would also be transparent so that people can view the transaction history of the people they are dealing with.
People can apply to the Authority for business loans according to basic lending principles. They can also apply to other system members with excess capital.
There could perhaps be a monthly social dividend – say 20A depending upon the flow within each personal account. Zero transactions would be a zero dividend, a normal flow of transactions creates a dividend of 20A, etc. Hoarding would not be promoted.
7 – System aspects
There would be an international section for such things as language tuition and a local section for such things as massage.
There would be a for sale section, possibly with an auction section.
There could even be a share market where we can invest in each others business’s, with each share numbered and transparent and only legitimately sold.
Member’s can also offer services to the A platform to help it expand, such as hosting, programming, administration, etc.
Members will be able to rate each other with an integrity quotient.
There would be a Forum for discussion and suggestions.Conclusion
These then are some thoughts for discussion, the seeds for a monetary model which will only grow through time and experience. Further, with the Cyclos 4 platform now available and free to non profit organisations, the A system has become simply a ‘click and go’ operation. Let the educational curve begin!
P.S. Here now is a brief summary of Cyclos and STRO, the Social Trade Organisation, from their website. (
http://www.cyclos.org/
)
STRO’s objective is to move money as a major steering mechanism in society from causing environmental abuse and preventing many poor to optimise their capacities, to become an instrument that serves a qualitative human development. The first STRO was founded in 1970 in Holland. Social Trade promotes the opportunity for communities to optimise the circulation of purchasing power in their community. Using the Social Trade methods the potential of the community can be optimised based on the community’s culture with respect for the environment. People involved in realising the Social Trade targets are working from local offices in Porto Alegre (Brazil), Montevideo (Uruguay), Tegucigalpa (Honduras), Utrecht (Holland), Lisbon (Portugal) and Murcia (Spain).
STRO picks up the challenge described by Bank of England’s governor Mervyn King:
“Is it possible that advances in technology will mean that (…) the world may come to resemble a pure exchange economy? Electronic transactions in real time hold out that possibility. There is no reason, in principle, why final settlements could not be carried out by the private sector without the need for clearing through the central bank. (…) There is no conceptual obstacle to the idea that two individuals engaged in a transaction could settle by a transfer of wealth from one electronic account to another in real time. (…) The same system could match demands and supplies of financial assets, determine prices and make settlements. Financial assets and real goods and services would be priced in terms of a unit of account. Final settlement could be made without any recourse to the central bank.(…) Without such a role in settlements, central banks, in their present form, would no longer exist; nor would money.”Cyclos solutions for social impact.
The objective of the Social Trade Organisation is to provide a professional platform that can be used by different organisations and institutions that are aiming on social economic impact. Cyclos supports a wide variety of implementations.
Banks in developing countries
Cyclos allows local and regional banks to compete with big international banks, because Cyclos allows them to provide cost effective state of the art on-line banking, sms banking, POS and mobile banking services. This contributes to a more diverse banking sector which makes it stronger and more competitive. Regional banks are also known to invest more money in the region contributing directly to the country’s economic growth instead of international speculation.
Barters
Because of Cyclos barters can easily be set up at low cost, the barter doesn’t have to invest heavily in expensive software. Research shows that Barters can be very beneficial to a countries economy in times when capital is scarce, making countries more resilient in times of economic crises. The reason behind this is simple. When the economy suddenly contracts enterprises which still have products or services to offer, but not enough customers. Even if company A wants to buy a product from company B and company B wants to buy a product from company A, often the money (or credit) is missing to enable trade. A barter helps these companies to trade with each other through the barter network.
Campus card systems
An University campus, where a lot of local economic activity is happening is an ideal environment to implement an Campus card (payment) system with Cyclos. Some of the features are
• Student-to-Business payments (Parking, Copy/printing, Laundry, Bookstore, Restaurant, Housing, Events & Activities, Tuition)
• Student-to-Student micro payments (any goods or services exchanged among students)
• External-to-Student payment (donations from parents, who can specify payment destination)
• Student loans (emission/management)

The fed rate Hike and throttling back on monetary adventurism coupled with the very high energy prices portend to more stagnation and destruction in the SME sectors of the economy. This Bichler and Nitzen presentation
Mearsheimer has figured quite a bit in my reading lately as well as my thinking.
Why Leaders Lie
Main article: Why Leaders Lie
Mearsheimer wrote a book, Why Leaders Lie (Oxford University Press, 2011), which analyzes lying in international politics. He argues that leaders lie to foreign audiences because they think that it is good for their country. For example, he maintains that US President Franklin Roosevelt lied about the Greer incident in September 1941 because he was deeply committed to getting America into World War II, which he thought was in its national interest.[66]

New World Order emerging in the fog of Ukrainian war by Thierry Meyssan The war in Ukraine is only a bloody pretext, devised by Washington, to exclude Russia from all international organizations, weaken the European Union and, ultimately, preserve Anglo-American domination over the entire West.

I read an essay about Henry Kissinger’s Doctoral Thesis yesterday, http://www.classicsofstrategy.com/…/henry-kissinger-a…. It is a very good essay and explains well how Governments find it difficult to justify Real Politick at home, it contrasts Metternick the Austrian Diplomats experience of the Phenomenon with that of Castlereagh the British Foreign Secretary and their roles in the Vienna Treaty of 1815 post the Napoleonic wars. This treaty lasted well up to the momentous events of 1848 a period between the French revolutions and the Myriad revolutions of 1848. This is the challenge we face in Quiggleys words.p.232 tragedy and Hope.
´´but criticism should have been directed rather at the hypocrisy and lack of realism in the ideals of the wartime propaganda and at the lack of honesty of the chief negotiators in carrying on the pretense that these ideals were still in effect while they violated them daily, and necessarily violated them. The settlements were clearly made by secret negotiations, by the Great Powers exclusively, and by power politics. They had to be. No settlements could ever have been made on any other bases. The failure of the chief negotiators (at least the Anglo-Americans) to admit this is regrettable, but behind their reluctance to admit it is the even more regrettable fact that the lack of political experience and political education of the American and English electorates made it dangerous for the negotiators to admit the facts of life in international political relationships.”

BERNARD LIETAER – WHY WE NEED A MONETARY ECOSYSTEM, INRIA 2014
consulting Maimonides is not such a bad idea.
Maimonides
Introductory Remarks. [ON METHOD] THERE are seven causes of inconsistencies and contradictions to be met within a literary work.
The first cause arises from the fact that the author collects the opinions of various men, each differing from the other, but neglects to mention the name of the author of any particular opinion. In such a work contradictions or inconsistencies must occur, since any two statements may belong to two different authors.
Second cause: The author holds at first one opinion which he subsequently rejects: in his work., however, both his original and altered views are retained.
Third cause: The passages in question are not all to be taken literally: some only are to be understood in their literal sense, while in others figurative language is employed, which includes another meaning besides the literal one: or, in the apparently inconsistent passages, figurative language is employed which, if taken literally, would seem to be contradictories or contraries.
Fourth cause: The premises are not identical in both statements, but for certain reasons they are not fully stated in these passages: or two propositions with different subjects which are expressed by the same term without having the difference in meaning pointed out, occur in two passages. The contradiction is therefore only apparent, but there is no contradiction in reality.
The fifth cause is traceable to the use of a certain method adopted in teaching and expounding profound problems. Namely, a difficult and obscure theorem must sometimes be mentioned and assumed as known, for the illustration of some elementary and intelligible subject which must be taught beforehand the commencement being always made with the easier thing. The teacher must therefore facilitate, in any manner which he can devise, the explanation of those theorems, which have to be assumed as known, and he must content himself with giving a general though somewhat inaccurate notion on the subject. It is, for the present, explained according to the capacity of the students, that they may comprehend it as far as they are required to understand the subject. Later on, the same subject is thoroughly treated and fully developed in its right place.
Sixth cause: The contradiction is not apparent, and only becomes evident through a series of premises. The larger the number of premises necessary to prove the contradiction between the two conclusions, the greater is the chance that it will escape detection, and that the author will not perceive his own inconsistency. Only when from each conclusion, by means of suitable premises, an inference is made, and from the enunciation thus inferred, by means of proper arguments, other conclusions are formed, and after that process has been repeated many times, then it becomes clear that the original conclusions are contradictories or contraries. Even able writers are liable to overlook such inconsistencies. If, however, the contradiction between the original statements can at once be discovered, and the author, while writing the second, does not think of the first, he evinces a greater deficiency, and his words deserve no notice whatever.
Seventh cause: It is sometimes necessary to introduce such metaphysical matter as may partly be disclosed, but must partly be concealed: while, therefore, on one occasion the object which the author has in view may demand that the metaphysical problem be treated as solved in one way, it may be convenient on another occasion to treat it as solved in the opposite way. The author must endeavour, by concealing the fact as much as possible, to prevent the uneducated reader from perceiving the contradiction.

PIIGS IGNORANCE, PEAK OIL AND THE ROAD OUT OF SERFDOM
The ship of fools is an allegory, originating from Book VI of Plato’s Republic, about a ship with a dysfunctional crew. The allegory is intended to represent the problems of governance prevailing in a political system not based on expert knowledge.
There’s the shipowner, larger and stronger than everyone in the ship, but somewhat deaf and rather short-sighted, with a knowledge of sailing to match his eyesight. The sailors are quarrelling among themselves over captaincy of the ship, each one thinking that he ought to be captain, though he has never learnt that skill, nor can he point to the person who taught him or a time when he was learning it. On top of which they say it can’t be taught. In fact they’re prepared to cut to pieces anyone who says it can. The shipowner himself is always surrounded by them. They beg him and do everything they can to make him hand over the tiller to them. Sometimes, if other people can persuade him and they can’t, they kill those others or throw them overboard. Then they immobilise their worthy shipowner with drugs or drink or by some other means, and take control of the ship, helping themselves to what it is carrying. Drinking and feasting, they sail in the way you’d expect people like that to sail. More than that, if someone is good at finding them ways of persuading or compelling the shipowner to let them take control, they call him a real seaman, a real captain, and say he really knows about ships. Anyone who can’t do this they treat with contempt, calling him useless. They don’t even begin to understand that if he is to be truly fit to take command of a ship a real ship’s captain must of necessity be thoroughly familiar with the seasons of the year, the stars in the sky, the winds, and everything to do with his art. As for how he is going to steer the ship – regardless of whether anyone wants him to or not – they do not regard this as an additional skill or study which can be acquired over and above the art of being a ship’s captain. If this is the situation on board, don’t you think the person who is genuinely equipped to be captain will be called a stargazer, a chatterer, of no use to them, by those who sail in ships with this kind of crew?

RECORDED IN EARLY AUTUMN 2007 PEAK OIL : MYTH OR REALITY
This the Banker suggested, and offered for hire (On moderate terms), or for sale,Two excellent Policies, one Against Fire, And one Against Damage From Hail.
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/06/180604121041.htm
“The fact is oil markets are more likely to dry up before Aramco’s reserves of crude run out. Demand for oil remains robust despite the growing popularity of electric vehicles and the pressure of climate change forcing consumers to search for cleaner transportation fuels”.
Quoting from the Science daily article,
“The scientists conclude that further economic damage from a potential bubble burst could be avoided by decarbonising early. “Divestment is a prudential thing to do. We should be carefully looking at where we are investing our money.(1) For instance, much like companies, pension funds and other institutions currently invest in fossil-fuel assets. Following recommendations from central banks, commercial banks are increasingly looking at the financial risks of stranded fossil-fuel assets, even though their possible impacts have not yet been fully determined. Until now, observers mostly paid attention to the likely effectiveness of climate policies, but not to the ongoing and effectively irreversible technological transition. This level of ‘creative destruction’ appears inevitable now and must be carefully managed,” Mercure concludes.
Regarding a Surplus energy approach .
(1)ED. This is the key misunderstanding , the whole basis of this analysis should look at Net Energy Surplus over cost of energy extraction, then in a real sense the Sentance , “We should be carfully looking at where we are investing our Energy ( qua, Energy )”, would have money taking the Debt based monetary unit as a referent renders the statement meaningless a per pro energy capital allocation decisions.
Essentially all the current debate around Bitcoin and Crypto’s generally is the same debate that’s already been had during the previous 3 peaks just with a new set of Gullinble marks rationalising their own wish fulfillment.
Cryptos up until now have failed to breach the mighty central banking monopoly and it is unlikely they ever will as long as Governments continue to Outsource credit creation to The Banking Cartel, and allow it to engage in its predatory monopoly pricing model.
The best paper on how the system works that I have read is this one By the late Dr Adrian Wriggley
https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201011/cmselect/cmtreasy/753/753vw30.htm
“19. Contemporary governments grant the exclusive power to issue the medium of taxation to a state-sanctioned banking cartel. The banking cartel comprises a central bank and private member banks. The central bank is responsible for price-fixing, information sharing, promoting member interests, and preventing member defaults. Serving the public interest is not a primary goal of a central bank. The cartel holds the exclusive power to set the price of and issue the medium of taxation. Governments generally prohibit the issue of alternative media for exchange and mandate payments of taxes only in the cartel-issued medium.”
FIAT money is by definition a political Construct anything falling outside of the Dominant paradigm is only in any meaningful existence because it is tolerated for some reason or is trivial Bitcoin has a so-called market cap of roughly 800 billion and all cryptos are around 2.2 trillion including Bitcoin 800 billion is not trivial and I think that it can safely be concluded that Bitcoin is tolerated for whatever reason,
Coin Market Cap and The Fed Balance sheet. Debt Based Fiat money in Context!
This clip of Bernard Leitaer speaks volumes as to the dynamic between “the state sanctioned banking cartel”.and those not in the club.

Augustin Carstens here explains what the BIS want with “Programmable Money” it is arguable that smart contracts have a shot at a separate life outside of CryptoCurrencies, but that takes us back to use cases and Smart contracts could easily be incorporated into a CBDC solution in any event.
The subject is just too wide to cover casually Tom.
My own take on the Economic Problem is that it is simply one of Distribution of Products and exchange of resources to make those products. I happen to believe that Resources are not a problem I believe they are abundant. We do though have a problem with the Distribution of Credit and the extent of the problem is as set out by Richard Werners Disaggregated theory of credit creation.
It is my firm belief that many of the problems we face these days are due to the exploitation of dominant Monopoly positions to the exclusion of efficient production and distribution of resources and goods. I have zero confidence that the current leadership at the BIS or the world commercial banks can solve the problem which they themselves have created for the rest of us. And as Bernard Leitaer heard from the horse’s mouth, the leaders of the current system wish to “keep the system going exactly as it is”. That is, as it is with respect to creating Credit as Debt at interest mandated by FIAT as de facto creators as the medium of taxation.
All of those points do not even touch on the Geo-political aspects of Energy Resources ( Hydro Carbons) and the “Petro Dollar”
I happen to agree with Lord Acton and his less famous quote.
“The issue which has swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the people versus the banks.”
― Lord Acton
I wrote this to one of my investors earlier.

What we are witnessing is the final stages of a massive game of Monopoly, only two squares remain available for the plebs. Go to Jail and Community Chest. All of the landlords are building either on Park Lane or Pall Mall and only Hotels at that. The Trusted News initiative is reporting on the game earnestly claiming that the Board Game they comment upon is still as it was in the early rounds, ignoring that we have not seen many of the old players for some considerable time
If only we had all decided to play scrabble instead?”

PETER GREENAWAY 1980 THE FALLS
VI. SCIENCE AND THE EUGENISTS
The key fact in the new development of plutocracy is that it will use its own blunder as an excuse for further crimes. Everywhere the very completeness of the impoverishment will be made a reason for the enslavement; though the men who impoverished were the same who enslaved. It is as if a highwayman not only took away a gentleman’s horse and all his money, but then handed him over to the police for tramping without visible means of subsistence. And the most monstrous feature in this enormous meanness may be noted in the plutocratic appeal to science, or, rather, to the pseudo-science that they call Eugenics.

Gas Price Manipulation
And Gull Island Oil
[SIZE=+1]By Joel Skousen
World Affairs Brief
5-18-8[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]It’s well and good that Congress vote to stop filling the US Strategic Oil reserve because the US already has billions of barrels in the ground in Alaska–entire oil fields capped and drilled, but kept off the market. The filling of the Strategic Petroleum reserve is merely one more attempt to keep fuel in short supply. I will be blunt. There is a conspiracy to raise fuel prices and it is pernicious. No one is targeting the collusion we see daily between the oil companies.[/SIZE] [SIZE=+1][/SIZE] [SIZE=+1]Fred Cederholm in a Baltimore Blog noted these careful observations during the latest and suspicious run up in gas prices–too rapid and too well coordinated to be a result of natural market demands. “It must have been some pricing strategy by all of the fuel retailers because the spike [of 13 cents a gallon] occurred everywhere, regardless of the company or the brand, at almost the same moment [within 2 hours]… I had already been on-line checking world-wide news and developments when a friend and neighbor stopped at the house to tell me I had better fill up immediately because a price jump was coming. I logged off and topped off my gas supplies for all of my fuel thirsty vehicles and gizmos. I then went back on-line to find out why the spike occurred. I found not one single development, catastrophe, or explanation. I found nothing to justify the jump!” Later, the media will always be fed some event used to justify the increase, just like their servile explanations that “the stock market rose today due to some company performing better than expected.” Nonsense.[/SIZE] [SIZE=+1][/SIZE] [SIZE=+1]PUBLIC NEEDS TO DEMAND OPENING OF THE GULL ISLAND OIL FIELD[/SIZE] [SIZE=+1][/SIZE] [SIZE=+1]I have long maintained that the US government is purposely keeping US oil discoveries off the market in order to allow insider oil companies to drive up prices and save US supplies for the next war. Evidence continues to confirm that charge. A massive oil/natural gas field exists under Gull Island, located in the waters of Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, according to Lindsay Williams. Williams was an Alaska oil field Chaplain who was so successful at boosting moral during the building of the Alaskan pipeline that he was given special access to many high level meetings at the Atlantic Richfield company. At one of those meetings, he witnessed, first hand, discussions confirming a successful find of a massive new oil field near Prudoe Bay in Alaska–at Gull Island the day before the meeting.[/SIZE] [SIZE=+1][/SIZE] [SIZE=+1]A few days later, the chief operating officer of Atlantic Richfield for Alaska, Ken Fromm, who had invited Williams to the meeting, called him and told him he must never mention this new discovery–that the US government had classified it and was ordering it capped. It is still being held off the market and is not part of the environmental lock-down of oil in the Arctic National Wilderness. Williams was given a British Petroleum memoranda [probably by Fromm] which related the statements of upper echelon oil officials from Arco which said that Gull Island would be kept under wraps, limiting domestic supplies so Americans would someday see prices hit up to $10 a gallon at the pump.[/SIZE] [SIZE=+1][/SIZE] [SIZE=+1]Lindsey Williams decided to violate that informal ban and publish a book, The Energy Non-Crisis, about the scandal. Ken Fromm was finally fired by Atlantic Richfield for allowing Williams in on the meeting and for helping correct technical details in Williams’ book. He told Williams that the Powers That Be were making sure his book would be suppressed and would not get any establishment media coverage.[/SIZE] [SIZE=+1][/SIZE] [SIZE=+1]Here’s an excerpt from Chapter 17 The Energy Non-Crisis. The entire book is online and on U-tube videos: http://educate-yourself.org/cn/lindsywillaimsvideos22may07.shtml%5B/SIZE%5D [SIZE=+1][/SIZE] [SIZE=+1]”Gull Island just proved what the oil companies have believed for some time. It authenticated the seismographic findings. Seismographic testing has indicated that there is as much crude oil on the North Slope of Alaska as in Saudi Arabia. Since the Gull Island find proved to be seismographically correct, then the other testings are correct also. There are many hundreds of square miles of oil under the North Slope of Alaska.[/SIZE] [SIZE=+1][/SIZE] [SIZE=+1]”To clarify what I am about to say, let me first re-emphasize that the government permitted the oil companies to drill and prove many sites (subsequently making them cap the wells and keep the proof of the finds secret), but they do not allow them to produce from the wells. This is why I have referred (below) to a number of wells having been drilled (after I left the North Slope). The only production permitted is from the small area of the North Slope.[/SIZE] [SIZE=+1][/SIZE] [SIZE=+1]”Gull Island is located five miles off shore from Prudhoe Bay. It is in the Beaufort Sea. The chemical structure of the oil at Gull Island is different from that of the oil in the Prudhoe Bay field and the pressure of the field is different, proving that it is a totally different pool of oil from that at Prudhoe Bay… Three wells have been drilled, proven, and capped at Gull Island. The East Dock well also hit the Gull Island oil pool (you can tell by the chemical structure). For forty miles to the east of Gull Island, there has not been a single dry hole drilled, although many wells have been drilled. This shows the immensity of the size of the field.[/SIZE] [SIZE=+1][/SIZE] [SIZE=+1]”Only recently, just west of Gull Island, the Kuparuk oil field has been drilled. Again, this is a totally separate pool of oil from either the Prudhoe Bay field or the Gull Island field. The chemical make up of the field and the pressure of the field is different from the others, proving it to be a totally separate pool of oil. In an entirely different area of the North Slope than the 100-square-mile area of the Prudhoe Bay field, the Kuparuk field is approximately 60 miles long by 30 miles wide and contains approximately the same amount of oil as the Prudhoe Bay field.[/SIZE] [SIZE=+1][/SIZE] [SIZE=+1]”From 1973 through 1980 we were being told continually that America was in the midst of a major energy crisis, yet no oil production was allowed from the Kuparuk field. It wasn’t until 1981 that permission was finally granted for production. Why the delay–if there really was a crisis? The reason Mr. X made the statement that there is as much crude oil on the North Slope of Alaska as in all of Saudi Arabia is because the oil companies have drilled all over the North Slope and have proven there is that much oil there, but still they are only allowed to produce from the small area.”[/SIZE] [SIZE=+1][/SIZE] [SIZE=+1]”Americans will also be shocked to know that almost all Alaskan crude is shipped overseas (most to Japan) while America has to import most of its oil. “Possibly you have heard it stated that the Alaskan crude oil has such a high sulphur content that it cannot be refined by most oil refineries in the U.S. We are being told that this is the reason why the Alaskan oil is not helping to solve America’s energy crisis. This is also the excuse that is being used for shipping Alaskan crude oil to other countries. It has also been reported that major power companies are even telling this to their customers, using it to justify their need for rate increases….[However] An August 11, 1980, analysis of the Prudhoe Bay crude oil, which is flowing in the Trans-Alaska Oil Pipeline, reads as follows: Sulphur content – 0.9% The sulphur content of the Prudhoe Bay Alaskan oil is low in comparison to oil from other sources in the U.S., as well as many foreign oils.”[/SIZE] [SIZE=+1][/SIZE] [SIZE=+1][/SIZE] [SIZE=+1]World Affairs Brief – Commentary and Insights on a Troubled World.[/SIZE] [SIZE=+1][/SIZE] [SIZE=+1]Copyright Joel Skousen.

The credit system, which has its focus in the so-called national banks and the big money-lenders and usurers surrounding them, constitutes enormous centralisation, and gives this class of parasites the fabulous power, not only to periodically despoil industrial capitalists, but also to interfere in actual production in a most dangerous manner— and this gang knows nothing about production and has nothing to do with it.” –

New World Order emerging in the fog of Ukrainian war
by Thierry Meyssan
The war in Ukraine is only a bloody pretext, devised by Washington, to exclude Russia from all international organizations, weaken the European Union and, ultimately, preserve Anglo-American domination over the entire West. Don’t be fooled!
RISING TENSIONS (11)Ukraine : the great manipulationby Thierry Meyssan
While revelations are multiplying about the exactions committed by Ukrainian banditry over the past eight years, Westerners continue to perceive only the suffering of the Ukrainian civilian population. They are unaware of the root causes of the war, as well as the events that led the Kremlin to unleash it. No matter, the banditry is losing and the great powers are preparing for peace.

This angle on Reform of Government is tackled in academia and I have spent the last couple of weeks reading quite a bit of the material.
The Republic of Oceana by James Harrington is well worth reading as it delineates a balance of power that intermediates rivalries between status groups in society and leads to a tolerable division of the pie.
Harrington draws on Machiavelli’s The Prince but has I think a more nuanced understanding of choices in the application of Right Reason, he distinguishes power from authority in a very pleasing way and a way in which the General narratives applied to Machiavelli do not in their celebration or certainly acceptance of The winner takes all ends justifying means approach.
“But there be certain other confusions, which, being rooted in the balance, are of longer continuance, and of worse consequence; as, first, where a nobility holds half the property, or about that proportion, and the people the other half; in which case, without altering the balance there is no remedy but the one must eat out the other, as the people did the nobility in Athens, and the nobility the people in Rome. Secondly, when a prince holds about half the dominion, and the people the other half (which was the case of the Roman emperors, planted partly upon their military colonies and partly upon the Senate and the people), the government becomes a very shambles, both of the princes and the people. Somewhat of this nature are certain governments at this day, which are said to subsist by confusion.”

HOBBES AND WINSTANLEY:
REASON AND P O L I T I CS
This same power in man that causes divisions
and war is called by some men the state of nature,
which every man brings into the world with
him…
Here is disorder, therefore this subtle spirit of
darkness . . . tells the people, You must make
one man king over you all and let him make
laws, and let everyone be obedient thereunto.
W I N S T A N L E Y , Fire in the Bush (1650), and
The Law of Freedom (1652), in Sabine, pp. 493,
531.
THOMAS HOBBES has properly no place in this book, in so
far as it is a study of the left wing of radical Puritanism.
Hobbes was no Puritan: he was a dependent of the great aristocratic
and royalist family of the Cavendishes. He fled from England
in 1640, remaining abroad throughout the civil war. For
a time he was tutor to Prince Charles in exile. Hobbes returned
to England only at the end of 1651, after the Commonwealth
had suppressed the radicals. Yet Hobbes had a grudging admiration
for the achievements of the Revolution he thought
should never have been allowed to happen. Tf in time as in
place,’ he once said, ‘there were degrees of high and low, I
verily believe the highest of time would be that which passed
betwixt 1640 and 1660.’1 The royalist Earl of Clarendon thought
Hobbes no better than a Leveller in his belief in human equality
and a career open to the talents, denouncing Hobbes’s ‘extreme
malignity to the nobility, by whose bread he hath been always
sustained’.2 Hobbes was often intellectually of the radicals’
party.

Entitled Leviathan (Oxford U.P., 1676), pp. 181-2.
President Trumps MAGA project, Brexit, Venezuela, Brazil, Yemen, Syria, Ukraine are all tied up in this Balancing of Corporate, and Democratic Power.
It’s a long way to make the point but I think it is important.
The Dominant Power here is Finance Capitalism and the Largest Global Banks. The Satellites to their power are the Media And the political and religious factions that serve FInance Capital.
Another project I have been doing is reading religious texts as Texts on Political Economy. They are actually very instructive to read that way, when doing so it is as well to refer back to Harrington and his distinction of Power and Authority.
“The principles of government then are in the goods of the mind, or in the goods of fortune. To the goods of the mind answers authority; to the goods of fortune, power or empire. Wherefore Leviathan, though he be right where he says that “riches are power,” is mistaken where he says that “prudence, or the reputation of prudence, is power;” for the learning or prudence of a man is no more power than the learning or prudence of a book or author, which is properly authority.”
