Jeremy Lent, Author of The Patterning Instinct and The Web of Meaning, recently writes that modernity has expired, and asks, what comes next? Wait, are we no longer modern? Modernity means “a modern way of thinking” so it seems because thinking would change with the times so would modernity. Some…

Yes, it hurts, Corrine, because we care. We've some how escaped the doctrinal system, most haven't but hopefully more are escaping now. We live in a system that concentrates wealth to a few at the expense of the many. This usury has devastating psychological impacts as well as the physical…

The debt ceiling dance is upon us in regular fashion again. It has become a constant excuse to reduce investment in the people and the land. After all, who wants to be in debt, right? …

Robert F. Kennedy should be elected President. His dedication and accomplishments over recent decades doing the work Presidents should have done at the intersection of the environment, the economy and democracy, are nothing short of astonishing. In that sense he is already the President in many ways, fighting to protect…

Throughout history that minority of people who have spoken up about how capitalist power is derived have been ignored, pushed aside, called cranks or worse, in some cases much worse. It doesn’t matter if they are academics, government, professionals, businessmen, artists, or journalists, if they dare criticize capitalism effectively, they…

While it is often said, Levi, NO the Fed did not print any money, I'm sure you know. As banks always do, it was created electronically as numbers in the ledger and a debt for the borrower, or the taxpayer, it took no printing press. The Treasury does print and mint the physical currency, selling it to the banks for their customers cash needs at cost of production, and represents only 3%-5% of the money supply in circulation. I'm not sure this is helpful as it has people imaging we are in a cash economy when we are not but it would be nice if we were as in the days of the Greenbacks, more prosperity, less debt. I think as you do that people need to understand this system so they can change it. Join us at monetaryalliance.org

What it is and Isn’t — This is a response to a recent article posted on medium titled ‘Explaining Marx’s M-C-M Formula for Capital, in which the author writes, “Money that circulates in the form of commodities is capital.” This is not accurate and confuses the issue. Money circulates in the form of money for the…

The problem is using credit for money. Money doe's NOT have to be a debt and is better if it is not. It should be a publicly issued permanently circulating asset, like Lincoln's Greenbacks, and banks should be banned from creating money and issuing it as debt. A plague on the world. A for-profit money system is usury of the worst kind with all its ugly psychological consequences. As Dante described it, "an extraordinarily efficient form of violence by which one does the most damage with the least effort." The system concentrates wealth and power that is wholly dedicated to maximizing profits at any cost to the world. It is wrong and must change. monetaryalliance.org

I hope you were able to laugh at the absurdity of that title. It sounds like a comment we might project upon the stereotypical caveman, but it more accurately describes our modern society’s systemic bias against women. It is something of an insult to attribute it to our ancient indigenous…
