The biggest issue with the quackanomics and quakademic community (whom I consider worse then the hood lumps) is that they simply cannot look outside of that false paradigm/trap/system designed to ensure their perpetual enslavement, even if you give them 1 million years on this earth to figure out a solution! they simply can't! beyond the current models/trends.
Bernard Von Nothaus of liberty dollars was jailed for 15 years minting & circulating a currency designed to compete with the US dollar, this was likened to domestic terrorism by the USA and he was quickly thrown in jail.
This man along with many throughout history understood the elaborate scams taking place because for as long as these oligarch financiers control the 'credit' which they bring into existence from 'nothing' charging interest, you will forever be on the loosing end and even worse at their mercy.
The Chinese have woken up working on a Gold back Yuan, so are the Russian's (both hording Gold), the Iranian's use mixture of bartering/gold to conduct their trades were actual things of value are exchanged.
None of this abject poverty ever existed in Africa before the advent of Western Fiat money, people either bartered or traded commodities when precious metals were in short supply, large storage vaults existed and people for quick convenience traded receipts with signatures until the end of the month when the accounting was done.
When the trade deficits were large, armed guards moved the goods from one vault to another (same vicinity) most of the time not much is moved (the same way those buying gold just get a certificate of ownership rather then the metal itself when trading), there was no such thing as thieves as it was simply useless stealing signature receipts because it's impossible to monetise as it requires the person on the other side of transaction when accounts are taken, there was an exchange market on virtually every city.
Our Geeljire's were the kings of bartering, their nomadic lifestyle gave them that advantage and they could carry more load then anyone else, this is how trade was conducted before the fiat money financiers rolled in destroying everything in sight plunging the continent into poverty, by first destroying this elborate system, then our agriculture bread basket, culminating to our livestock industry.
The idea that you could work within this lunatic system and prosper is an utterly ridiculous notion, the system is designed to enrich the oligarch bankers and financiers, until this day the Saudi's are forced to buy garbage US treasury bonds in the billions along with their arms further enriching the parasites while allowing them to continue printing more fiat money.
