"Always look for the truth from the ground up, rarely from the top down. Journalists are never real journalists if they are the agents of power, no matter how they disguise that role. Real journalists are agents of the People. " John Pilger

Every sentence was so poignant and well chosen Matt... the highlights of the machinations... I know you could have gone on for hours and well you did a marvelous job in 13 short minutes.

Will you Jason and possibly Cynthia be doing a solutions to these unmet overtaken realities we are facing? It's one thing to know the history and to understand where things started, but a lot of people I speak with (and no thanks to our education system) are immobilized as to what they can do.

You mention Glass-Steagall and well I know about the 4 Laws and how that could change us from a debt system to a credit system, you'd think a 'banker' put in charge would want that for Canada... apparently not! Quite the opposite actually.

Would love to hear some solution focused possibilities - you have our attention - you understand the implications of things geopolitical... can you step into that arena of solution directions? I know you like to study "when the Empire has failed before" where have you spoken on this specifically?

Hey Cheerio. I try to get at the policy solutions as much as possible. Perhaps something explicit as an upcoming vid would be fitting as you noted

I was hoping you would suggest a creative open systems direction... truly humanity is so used to no longer debating and creating with critical and philosophical thinking.

I also managed to listen to the open discussion at the end of the Shaun Newman show with Tom and Alex and was great synergy with the 3 of you on stage for certain...

What came to mind in my dreams last night was HOW can 'development for the betterment of humanity' become reciprocal with the natural elements of our biosphere?

I you look at where nature's law unfolds it's balance in comparison... can it be as simple as creating REAL GREEN energies that are not there to support consumerisms but to support quality of living and the focus on giving back to the biosphere what is extracted in the balance of things... aka dealing with pollutants and wastes from industrial designs to the point where it's recycled into a system that enhances nature?

Here's a concept for a co-creative discussion I'd love to see happen....

I would love to point you towards a fellow substacker I follow that offers the influences of indigenous philosophies and understanding of our ecosystems in its quantum dimension - and invite you to have a discussion with Gavin Mounsey... he writes a book "Recipes for Reciprocity"

Then add Cynthia to the mix with bringing in the concepts of the "Fraud of Game Theory" - loving how Cynthia pulls together these poignant pieces on how to work together instead of how the British Empire plays the game board.

For it is my nature to want to make a healthy world filled with happy creative spiritual beings in harmony with our surroundings.

Let's get away from the "Industrial Disease"

@Tamara Lich missed the photo shoot as she was “out for a tab”. 😆 God bless her!

It was a great round-table discussion. Lots of very serious topics, but the humour kept it from being too heavy. Thanks for all you do Matt. You are a true patriot.
