We have a serious debt problem, but solutions such as the World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset” are not the future we want. It’s time to think outside the box for some new solutions. That’s the byline to my latest article, which is in two parts. Part I is posted on
The only method by which we can return to real economic growth while inflationary debt is safely purged is with the addition of market based, fully asset backed (debt-free) market currency.
The focal point is real economic growth and a lowering of the rising debt-to-GDP ratio.
The current horrors will not be stopped by politicians and/or lawyers. Those efforts were tried unsuccessfully during the Vietnam era, which you may be too young to remember. They will never work today despite thoughtful analytical essays, websites, petitions, conferences, etc.
Here is a little history from a guy turning 90 this year. There was a "dress rehersal" for Vietnam around 20 years earlier in Korea that somewhat affected my own life. All "civilized" efforts and actions to stop the massive bloodshed in Vietnam failed utterly. Jim Rhodes, Ohio's State Auditor, for whom I saved a Sunday NY Times (where I worked on weekends at Cole's Pharmacy in north Columbus, Ohio) after moving up from Auditor to becoming Ohio's governor, called out the Ohio National Guard that shot and killed 4 students, wounding eight or nine others, at Kent State University where there was a small anti-war demonstration.
Believe it or not, the public was overwhelmingly against the students, not the Guard. The war went on. The famous Peace Symbol was viewed as despicable. Given that atmosphere, how in heck could that war be brought to an end? But it was.
College students held military draft cards. When any war protest arose they were happy to support it. Many fled to Canada to avoid being drafted and sent to the jungles of Vietnam. The antiwar protest was a campus centered thing. Starting at the Univ. of Wisconsin, it spread to the large state colleges, and then to Berkeley in CA, Columbia in NYC, and elsewhere. Christian clerics became outspoken protesters, throwing animal blood around a draft board office. People chained themselves to columns of government bldgs in DC, riots erupted and violence (against property, not humans) erupted throughout the country.
That is what was required to finally stop the war. VIOLENCE AND LOTS OF IT. I left my job, taking earned vacation time in NYC to return to my college (Ohio State University, in Columbus, Ohio), growing a ponytail, and joined the kids. There used to be a photo of me online with a burning police car in the background (maybe it is still there, I might search for it). Of course, nice conservative Americans were horrified and unsupportive. BUT IT STOPPED THE WAR. Here is how:
Every year a bill came up in Congress to fund the war. It was euphemistically titled something like "funding for aid to South Vietnam". Guess what! When then President Ford sent it back for signing, he was shocked and amazed that the politicians (although compromized as ever) declined to sign it and there was no more money to continue the war. Simple as that.
You might wonder, why did the guys in Congress not sign the bill, as usual? Here is the simple reason: THEY WERE TERRIFIED TO RETURN TO THEIR HOMES IF THEY SIGNED IT. Their hometowns were partially ablaze. We did that. VIOLENCE STOPPED THE BLOODSHED, not philosophy, peace marches, essays (The NY Review of Books had great anti-war articles by Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, and others), not car signs, T-shirts, etc. Without the VIOLENCE who knows how much further and longer the Pentagon's war chiefs, the CIA, and the U.S. Congress would have gone even after more than fifty thousand young men had been killed and tens of thousands more injured and crippled in other ways.
Ruling war-mongers and supporting corporations were getting richer. Since then it has been disclosed that U.S. corporations, supported by their bankers, made and financed equipment for the enemy that killed U.S. troops, just as they had done during WW2. (If you require confirmation, read the research of Antony Sutton (www.bigeye.org/antonysutton.htm), who was attacked by the IRS (which is in the picture today, as usual).
We don't need petitions, a vote, lawsuits, etc. More talk, in fact, just encourages the bastards, letting them know that all is well for them. We need to do the job through online recruitment and positive action regardless of what others think or say. There are enough persons using the internet today that when this program becomes unacceptable to the usual suspects we will have provided the seeds for massive organized resistance. Perhaps violence (against property only) will be unnecessary. However, remember the Vietnam era. Look up the speech by Mario Savio in California. It is applicable again today.
Young Americans came together, Whites, Blacks, Jews, Gentiles, Hispanics, Asians, etc. Those who valued laws, encoded in our U.S. Constitution's Bill of Rights, confirmed the fundamental rights given to us, not from any government, but that come from God, "to institute new Government" when necessary by assembling in justifiable anger. An upcoming civil-rights movement was supported by many former Vietnam war protesters who had learned to come together for the purpose of compelling persons in authority to take heed.
There is a difference between cops who try to protect property and those who find an opportunity to beat up angry citizens. These are again "the times that try mens' souls". We MUST respond in numbers, defending ourselves when necessary, for our own lives as well as for the lives of our companions, our children, their children and for future generations, not only on this continent but throughout the world.
Note: Just so you don't have to look it up, here are Mario Savio's closing remarks:
There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!

I'm glad that you're allowing comments here, Ellen. Enabling comments on Sheerpost feels like letting a mob of condescending men into my inbox, who don't give you the credit you deserve. While (by my count) this is also all men, it seems like a group more focused on solutions and dialogue, who appreciate you and your brilliance.
I continue to apply your ideas to the question of community sovereignty and a feminine economy in which the objective is raising each generation with more security and potential than the last. One of my early viewers, JJ, noticed the similarity of my ideas with yours and Richard Werner's, who I'm only getting familiar with now. I told him that you were the one who first opened by eyes to the money system, at that long-ago conference on the Deep State after 911. And, of course, my book quotes you extensively and builds on your expertise, especially in the chapter on Public Banks.
I have a couple of recent episodes that start to explain how I apply your ideas, combined with taxation and local credit creation: Build a New Model and Questioning the Greater Reset, which is on YouTube but will be posted on Substack later today. I would love for you and your readers to give me your thoughts, if you had the time. Thanks so much for all your work and insight!
Ellen, I invite you to read my article on this subject. I am the Canadian inventor of SolaRoof technology and the PyraPOD solutions for regenerative food, energy & water abundance: https://sunparadigm.org/fall-of-the-dark-paradigm/
Some of the remarks made me think of what F.A. Hayek had to say about money in his two volumes titled "Good Money : Parts 1 & 2", done as a commission in the aftermath of WW 2.
I borrowed both volumes from the University of California and hope they are still there. Ray Dalio uses the term hard asset based currency as the ideal.
The first reform actions, by necessity, are to marginalize those presently devising self-serving utopian agendas. Society will be disrupted but not for very long. Humans are programmed for survival, as individuals, families, neighbors, and communal groups. Think of Lenin's observation about making an omelet. The first fact that new leadership must grasp is that of the fundamental nature of government. Think of Washington's farewell address and read again Albert Jay Nock's "Our Enemy, the State". Those who pathologically aspire to positions of power and control succeed relatively easily for lack of competition. Most others are saner.
Students and other readers of masterful articles such as Ellen Brown's who have good cognitive abilities are highly rewarded with insights, proposals, speculations, historical observations, and basic education pertaining to the arrangement of the world's financial furniture. Regardless of philosophical responses there are common and less abstract components shared by each of us, how how we will be individually affected by monetary policy changes. That is due to something we have in common. We are all obliged to play the money game.
Money and banking. Alas, how to manage something referred to as a "necessary evil". Forget currency trading, national and international investments, stock and bond markets, crypto currencies, tokens and, above all, abhor usury. Then get down to basics. We need a place to hold our assets safely to prevent being robbed. Banks must be managed as non-profit organizations. We need to have a local bank, not huge banking corporations that are controlled by the usual suspects, those destined to be marginalized in our first reform action. Those who manage local banks should be public servants, subject to local elections.
Currencies can be created by individual banks based on the value of assets on deposit including gold, silver, deeds to real property, cars, boats, etc. Fractional reserve banking must be made illegal. Lending is to be discretionary. Local banks must be subject to professional audit and public disclosure annually or more frequently if required by local statute. Critics of our new (some would call it "old") world will be quick to point out the handicap of our system to the development of material and technological stuff. I suppose an interesting response to such criticism is to point out a few of the human, environmental, psychological, and social difficulties that have arisen precisely due to a former ambition for "modernization", "development", and "progress", the latter terms all being euphemisms for the amassing of financial assets by the usual suspects.
Just as our own U.S. Constitution has provided a template for political actions in other countries, so too will be successfully effected U.S. financial actions. I will terminate this, the beginning of a rational, many will say "simplistic", method of human action that is presented here simply as additional food for thought.
If first learned about the concept of a Jubilee from Michael Hudson. I think the problem is how it could be done fairly. For instance if we gave 100,000/citizen would that apply to newborns. Anyway something is required. We don't want a Globalist WEF Great Reset but that is where is it obviously headed.
