Do we accept or grow a pear?
Good day all, a week ahead of Charlie's perpetuation of the pyramid, it's time to accept your fate or go out and grow a pair, a pear, or better still any kind of fast growing fruit and vegetable. We will need to supplement the up and coming social income based diet plans and be aware dissent will affect your social credit score. Are you sitting comfortably, gather the clouds, for we will begin with the reality, doom and gloom, then move on through the joy and pain, sunshine and rain!
Why are all but the top 1% and their circle of self interest (the next 10% or so) in a state of acceptance, sleepwalking towards a reset they know is beyond their control. Don't be one of them. Job and identification insecurity is at an all time high, but even 'live for today not tomorrow' draw downs are simply feeding the greed of those seeking to fill their lifeboats ahead of the new layers of the digital feudalism pyramid being set in stone. Keep one foot outside the matrix
The massive corporate lay offs remain hidden, although anyone using official employment or fiscal statistics is clearly worshiping at the oracle of optimism. We are witnessing the eradication of the high paying jobs that make free minded consumption possible. Technology has to take part of the blame but in reality it is the increasing expectations of the big shareholders, eager to fill the lifeboats before the Ponzi scheme inevitably ends. Is it any wonder people are questioning their raison d'etre when the system and their puppet Government are betraying the work ethic before our very eyes, ears and financial future plans? Heed that little voice it's called common sense
The energy companies, who we happily go to war for, are sitting on account balances of £7bn, up 5 billions on last year, with the government coughing the cap, knowing they are getting 20% of the action times two (from the green tariff and VAT). That is just rude and no one is calling them out! Our energy bills are now the size of mortgages, well they would be if the interest rates had not gone up due to Bank of England created inflation. Heed that little voice it's called common sense
The only way to cure inflation, the excess printing of money relative to demand and therefore logical general increase in prices and fall in the purchasing value of money, is to take back the money they have printed since 2010. The pandemic played its part (450bn plus 350bn plus our 70bn in furlough) but what about the other money this government has created in debt to give to its mates having put in austerity while increasing the National debt from 800bn (inherited from Brown bailing the banks) to 2.8tn today and counting. Financial prudence starts at home
The banks, who cannot help themselves, although they invariably do, have orchestrated another Global Financial crisis built on the sands of derivatives. Janet Yellen is readying $18tn to steady titanic 2008 x 2 ahead of the elephant in the room - The rival to Chinese belt and road fuelling Digital currency that has the BRICs salivating. The Petro dollar as a reserve currency is dead but those top 10 financial entities will still have a seat at the table that controls the incoming Central Bank Digital Currency. Fed Now will go live in July although it has been trialed at wholesale level since November 2022.
But never let a good opportunity go to waste, if you are part of the asset owning class, it would be great to inflate our way out of debt at the expense of the 90%, then bail them out with central bank digital currency and universal income to buy goods from the remaining cartel of companies. This is a plan to eradicate the middle classes and SMEs who are the innovators and major driving force in economic change for the better. Sheared like sheep, we will own nothing and be happy, contained in a Britcoin cage. Free minded consumption will come to an end for the many, we will accept rationing in the interest of the green wash agenda. Yes our planet is one of finite resources but innovation borne of necessity being the mother of collective invention has and always will be possible Heed that little voice it's called common sense.
Those of us who try to think more globally realise this. Take the latest bank crash in the US, not only did a big predatory bank pick up the basket case after trading closed for nothing, but it will do so with tax payer money and at the expense of equity holders and indy investors. 2008 showed us that the losses are always going to be socialised, just like the antics of our pension industry still throwing our futures under the bus to line their pockets and futures, while they still can - we have paid for that and will continue to do so. Heed that little voice it's called common sense
Meanwhile as part of the media bread and circus message, that inhibits our basic instincts, we have the token gestures. The NHS branded Health and Wellbeing funding is as worthy a sticking plaster as the leveling up funding, once the gatekeepers have taken their cut and given the crumbs to the actual delivery partners.

So what is a good citizen to do?
Well the power of local and community wealth building is the one way to stay semi independent, to stay sane and to be resilient enough to build back better, but our way. It's about community wealth building from hereon in.
Believe in yourselves and your combined community skills. As a street, village and community you have to take this opportunity to be proactive and start to work in the right and realistic circles, because we have hit the watershed, its about food, water community resilience and getting all your eggs and ducks lined up from hereon in.
Nature shows us that each day is a new opportunity. The sun is shining even if we do appear to be on the abyss. Those useful UK alert signals started last week on St Georges day of all days, but, if small businesses and communities are given a chance by the greedy circle of self interest we might just prove that our collective innovation can tame disruption and, afford all lifeforms on our beautiful planet an opportunity. Or we can listen to the propaganda machine that expects us to keep on giving while the cartel keeps on taking.
We will have to because our food is in the cartel's hands and going into short supply. That 18% rise in 2023 is just the start, because the big investment institutions are licking their lips at the prospect of dividends to match those of the energy companies and big business since the start of the reset in 2020.
Optimism and perseverance, sharing best practice and working together will get us through this it always has and always will. We work best under pressure when we go into survival mode because those that keep us in a feudal prison are no longer listened to and therefore cannot control us any more. You can't eat money and good luck with digital currency when the power outages start.
Then again you can heat and eat by building your own Community Circular Growing Hubs or we can help and advise. At Ecolearn, two people have devised practical and scalable solutions put a sustainable community wealth building based circular economy into action. Imagine what you could do as a street or community. This is where things stood at the end of both pandemics.
The ultimate goal is one of an ecologically safe and socially just space, so that humanity biodiversity and all living beings will be at the heart of our thoughts. Leaving no one behind, youth and age must be bridged, because together we can push up and not just survive but thrive.
Let us push for community wealth building. Town, city, district, county and national budgets, policies and operations can be organised around indicators of community and environmental and well-being, across broad categories, such as health (starting with natural food and healthy activities), time-use (mental health), good social governance and ecology.
Starting with a circular economy growing plan at community sites we can create a sustainable and healthy food model that can be maintained by and distributed to local communities and foodbanks.
Stand together as communities and push up and the gatekeeper will not be able to block us forever. Community wealth building is the future, it can succeed because we are the 99% they are the 1%. Follow us or visit
