I would love to go back to the old fashioned barter system (can we make that happen?) It would require/incentivize everyone to offer goods or services of value. And everyone could, in theory, offer value if they really thought about it, if they really made an effort. There’s a fair proportion of people who don’t like to make any effort and simply feel entitled; they would not fare well in this system.
While the barter system has an appeal to it, I too wonder how it would play out in a real-world situation. As you mentioned there are those who feel 'entitled,' which makes me wonder if they would become violent to simply take what others offered... especially if they were hungry. It's something I have been mulling over for years, and have not yet fully sussed out LOL
Awesome comment! Thanks so much for your thoughts!
Thanks! Not fully-formed thoughts, just off the top of my head….
But I do wonder what happened in the old daze before money-as-we-know-it was invented. People would surely have had an incentive to cooperate in order to survive.
The counter cultural aka hippie movement was all about barter and the conservatives weren’t liking it. It worked well back then- it wasn’t 100% but it was enough to get them riled up.
“comprised of a bizarre coalition of Right-Wing Conservatarians and Left-Wing Progressives, that it is the pro-Globalist ‘establishment’ politicians on both sides who support it.”
My first thought as I read the first paragraphs of your essay is Uniparty 🥳🎊🎈🍾🎉and we aren’t invited.
“I’m not one to embrace the ‘distraction / false-flag’ edge of conspiracy theorizing (at least not without hard evidence), but you...”
The art of theatrical acting began in the Mesopotamia times. But acting was not done on the stage as we know the stage. Acting in those times done in real life, where actors posed as politicians and the Royal class for many reasons - commonly to relieve the politicians from mundane duties like speaking engagements. This benefited the elite greatly because they could control the masses with not only with actors, but they also created “scenes” to fool the hoi poloi. This is all documented. In later years magicians like Jasper Maskelyne was used by the military to create scenes for the British changing the outcome of WW ll saving the Egyptian port Alexandria from German control. Although his methods are reported to have been use strictly for defense it would not surprise me at all if these tricks are used in an off pensive manner. Red flag events.
I also heard the bridge accident is making it difficult to transport military equipment to aid Israel. 😏
Those guys LOVE Dictator Xiden - I mean, he's given them 6 BILLION dollars, and he's the worst dictator we've ever had, so I'm sure Iran would love to see him 're-elected'. So, now that election year is upon us, we all knew SOMEthing was going to occur to drive narratives and steer the election in some direction - I've been thinking it would be a war, since they can then cancel the entire election. Can't out-vote a wartime 'president' aka dictator.
Until the masses of citizens wake up and realize what's really going on in DC, we're going to continue down the path of Rome.
Concerning anything said by an agent of the government, the math formula for dividing fractions seems appropriate, that is to invert and multiply. Example: try to determine what would be the exact opposite of the agent’s statement (invert) and then multiply the possible repercussions of that inversion, because they always have something worse in store for us than they are claiming they are not doing. There’s about a 90% accuracy rate using this formula, as sometimes they use a novice liar who may inadvertently let a little truth out, a career ending error for the unskilled propagandist.
French is the official language of many important influential organizations including the United Nations, UNESCO and NATO. I had to deal with an a lot for international business. I was told it’s a used because it’s against the law in France to change any part of the French language, therefore keeping it a consistent language.
Allowing words to change meaning is deceptive and can be used to control ideas. For instance cannabis is a herb, but because it’s ok to change the meaning of English words it’s been classified as a drug by the US government. That’s just one example.
But language should be flexible and open to adding new words. It’s dangerous sometimes to change their meaning.
Thank you for another great news piece Stone! I learn something new every time I read your work. I hope you enjoy a beautiful weekend. Blessings to you! 🤗💖💫💖
Well done! There are some “cousins” that live on the west coast (Hollywood?) that I would be a little slow to protect but would protect them nonetheless.
"What foreign country maps out a secretive operation - a ‘sneak attack’, if you will - on a nation which it has despised for literally decades, by choreographing the date and time as an absolute?"
The Trojans?
I appreciate your we’ll stand w CA, where I live. But there sure are lots of ppl expressing the opinion “Let CA sink into the Pacific.” They wouldn’t waste ammo on us.
Frankly, when I see some of the actions of CA govt officials and some of the citizenry, I wonder if it wouldn’t be good for the nation afterall.
Sometimes I’d like to punch them in the mouth.
"when trigger-words like “misinformation” and “debunked” are used these days, I immediately assume the opposite is true… because that is nearly-always the case."
There’s so much flip-flopping it’s hard to decide if I should unbelieve what they said 2 weeks ago or what’s been writ today.
The umbrella is - bullshite.
“U.S. has shot down some of those drones”
Oh Stoney, did u think for one moment that we weren’t somehow involved?
Lockheed probably made those drones.

I like the thought of cooperation.
It will work if everyone followed the Ten Commandments and golden rule!

Totally on point with the Iran attack.

It’s about time Mother Nature steps in to level the playing field. Nature has a way of doing that.

Iran's «[t]he matter can be deemed concluded» announcement: https://twitter.com/Iran_UN/status/1779269993043022053
This seems to indicate they're not really interested in escalation, all they needed was visuals for internal propaganda purposes.
