August 2, 2024 | War & Freedom of Speech – Then the Default

I had the privilege of knowing Normal Rockwell back in the 1970s. His most famous war poster, created to raise money for World War II, asserted that if we lost, we would lose our freedom of speech. It is good that Norman is no longer with us. If he were alive today, he would be appalled at the loss of our free speech under the Cancel Culture. How just mention anything negative still about COVID, and that will be blocked by YouTube – the great bastion of free speech.

This is what 2032 is all about. I have proposed the solution – the way out before this all now cascades into World War III. No government has been willing to take up a viable solution. Instead, they are all pushing for war so they can default and start all over again. As a society, we are incapable of ever learning from the mistakes of the past. It is like a human who keeps sticking their finger in the flame of a candle and expecting a different result.

I have proposed the solution for more than 10 years. But because it requires governments to stop endless borrowing, not a single one will listen. Instead, they will throw us into World War III so they can default on all the debts and reduce the population and thus their future liabilities. So here we are nearly ten years after I held that Solution Conference and we are about ready to cross the point of no return.
