WEEKLY -- On Sunday -- All previous Editorials are available on the Substack Archive Further long term archives are available at LinkedIn and Wordpress https://boomfinanceandeconomics.wordpress.com
Thank you for this weekly email! I have been receiving your weekly emails since the Saturday (here in the U. S.) following your appearance on one of the Zoom meetings hosted by Dr. Karladine Graves (2021?).
You hit on many of the areas of concern that I have been discussing in my emails and posts and comments on Substack. I appreciate your comments on the financial faux pas, but I believe you really hit the heads of numerous nails in your commentary on "The Poly Crisis - Fame, Fortune, and Fear," right down to specific verbiage.
Are you familiar with the Asch Conformity Line Experiment?
I don't know what led to your discussion of human tendencies, but it was exciting to read words similar to those I have been using for awhile. The small group that seeks to control who is allowed to live and how those who are allowed to live are allowed to live know human tendencies, and they use our tendencies against us.
I believe this is why we are inundated with the term, “democracy.” Democracy is the rule of the majority. The majority tend to be compliant towards those in authoritative positions. We need to become those who are speaking and leading from authoritative positions.
You are spot on with your "Poly Crisis" comment. In 2006, Booker and North wrote an excellent book "Scared to Death", showing how we are being manipulated.
From the blurb:
"From salmonella in eggs to BSE, from the Millennium Bug to bird ‘flu, from DDT to passive smoking, from asbestos to global warming, ‘scares' have become one of the most conspicuous and damaging features of our modern world. This book for the first time tells the inside story of each of the major scares of the past two decades, showing how they have followed a remarkably consistent pattern.
It analyses the crucial role played in each case by scientists who have misread or manipulated the evidence; by the media and lobbyists who eagerly promote the scare without regard to the facts; and finally by the politicians and officials who come up with an absurdly disproportionate response, leaving us all to pay a colossal price, which may run into billions or even hundreds of billions of pounds.
The book culminates in a chillingly detailed account of the story behind what it shows has become the greatest scare of them the belief that the world faces disaster through man-made global warming. In an epilogue the authors compare our credulity in falling for scares to mass-hysterias of previous ages such as the post-mediaeval ‘witch craze', describing our time as a ‘new age of superstition'."
