If we do not spend the money at all for any of these huge mega corps then eventually they will fold. I get if you just buy Miller instead of bud light but if we just all together stop the spending it will have an impact.

So you are saying that target and busch will be rescued by government money which in the end is our money anyways either through inflation or taxes. Ok. So they rescue them one time but what then. We still don't buy from there what then. Rescue them a second time? The boycott is successful if we hold the line all together for a long time.

Or money from Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street? I'm guessing those are the majority owners. The point seems to be sexualising kids and promoting trans. What's a few billion compared to that?

Yes, I'm feeling more cynical than usual today.

The "government" is an infant pissing in its diapers, but even the diapers cost taxpayer's money.

There is no "we."

For that matter, even changing to gold standard would not work now:

I started brewing cider and wine about 2 years ago. 102 batches achieved! Only a few exploded!. Cuz lots of fruit (esp apples) here that goes ungathered, usually unwanted for the mess they can leave. It has been very gratifying, wine is easier than beer. But I am a beer lover too, so now I go down the beer road, but malting my own grain.

Best brew book to start for me was Stephen Buhners Sacred and Herbal Healing Beers (for brewing with what herbs might be growing in your area)....also good is Brew Beer Like a Yeti by Zimmerman, along with all the other old beer brewing bibles from the 1980's onward by Papazan and others, so many. Here is the book that got me started with wine, (simpler) -its from the 1970s...https://www.amazon.com/How-Make-Wine-Your-Kitchen/dp/B00416OYY2

(Apple) cider can be extremely toxic. I hope, you can do yours right.

As for toxicity, I've hardly ever had any luck with anyone's home-made fruit wine, either. Maybe, one in 20 or 30, but I don't even know how to make them.

I've sent the link about the wine to my wife; she is the healer, anyway, might as well take a look at that, too. :)

ps will look up vinegar toxicity, its kind of hard to eff up making apple cider vinegar, but i know white distilled vinegar isnt all that great for us, much as I loved the sweet pickles of my youth, the ol ACV has never failed me....if you make cider often, you will make some ACV by accident towards the end of the season is what I find.....depends on the trees and weather....nb I take ACV only watered down, never ful strength, if store bought. Too much at once undiluted on the stomach will mess with anyone. cup of warm water and a few tablespoons of ACV is quite adequate for me!

My copy of it is crumbling, but Mettja Roates hit it out of the park on this one back then.

Her recipes I find good but highly sugery, so I cut it to 3/4 or so of what she says...it was the 1970's, after all.

Beautiful! I just love how you put that together. We won't see those points made in the Lame Stream Media for a long time if ever.

As far as beer is concerned:

I am a brewer myself; I make many recipes of Ancient style "Beer" but ancient Beer does not have any Hops in it. In ancient times, the beverage was known as Gruit Ale. Made with many herb combinations instead of Hops. Some may think that it wouldn't taste good, but I beg to differ.

As an added advantage of making your own recipes, you get to be free of the giant corporations that are ultimately controlling everything like the ingredients, the popularity, the availability and the even the very definition of what a "Beer" is. I tried licensing my small company to bring the ancient ale styles to market; they said that they can't license Gruit Ale commercially because it doesn't contain any hops. But that was the whole point.

Thank you kindly. I do have the uncanny ability to explain complex problems to anyone who can still think and I can express ideas in a sentence or two that makes other "academics" rich or famous (as you know, I've never cared for either and have a certain level of contempt for both).

Still, I am blessed with readers who help each other a lot and a lot more than I could ever accomplish. If I may say so, this is a pack of wolves who belong together, but they can only have such a certainty inside, and they know it. No organized action will be available, but as long as you know the direction, "we" might prevail.

I wish I could try your home-made brews, but it's illegal to ship booze to KY and after everything is poisoned, the focus must be on detox...

I can send you the recipe if you would like. The one I most follow is an established ancient one that is recorded in several places. I was able to keep records of the precise conditions of success; every brew I perform has a written record, (you know how us authors are) I can provide you with recipes and herbal sources. Brewing process in paragraph form if you wish. I am always happy to help.

I think you should do a write up on your 'stack and include the recipe & brewing process. Before your post today, I had never heard of Gruit Ale - but making a batch of it sounds like it might be a fun kitchen alchemy experiment.

My wife is the kitchen chef, but I'm sure she will try your recipe! :)

She has a particular sensitivity to whatever she is doing in the kitchen. She understands that no two ingredients are exactly the same, so she always plays it by ear.

Yarrow; Marsh-Rosemary; and Bog Myrtle. Sometimes I add Heather flowers or Wormwood. I use a variety of different grains in the mash. Single step mash with fly sparge. It really comes out good.

Cool. I haven't tried brewing beer with grain before. I pretty much stick to mead, but I tried this mugwort "beer" recipe last summer, because I had way too much of it growing in the back yard and didn't know what to do with it all. I have to say, it was different, but it was pretty tasty. https://www.growforagecookferment.com/mugwort-lemon-beer/

Couple of points. Companies are American brands...and won't be able to access working capital if they disobey. I think we need to establish private working capital operations for them..and get rid of top mgt..because they have no worries about losing their jobs...not like the ordinary workers

For international corporations owning "American brands," that alone speaks for itself regarding who owns America, and it started in 1913 with the Federal Reserve Act, but from July 1, 2023, the Federal Reserve will have FULL control over the money flow in the US.

Sorry, in the last several years, when I hear "we," it sounds like fish in a restaurant fish tank, discussing who is going to be eaten first.

Unless people can start using their OWN money, it's game over...

One of the problems with that is the Legal Corporate Veil, it protects upper mgmt. Corporate Veil must be abolished for there to be sweeping changes. every company in the world would then have full "legal" exposure to their own actions. The owners could be sought after for everything they do.

I continue with examining the full banality of the human tragedy on this side of the cosmic equation. In art as in life, Breton said, the cause of surrealism is the cause of freedom itself. After WW2 all states agreed to seriously examine how much freedom a man doth need. Does man require land? Tolstoy gave the answer for land. Enough for burial. Marx somewhat Rabbinically before him answered the freedom question by simply saying Total Freedom moment by moment. Hashgachah Peratis, Peratit or Protit, etc], often translated as “Divine Providence,” is one of the most central and essential concepts in all Jewish teaching. It means: Everything happens according to God’s Will and supervision. Moderns explain phenomena as having a “natural” basis, without turning to “Divine Influence” as any part of the explanation. The authority of science rests upon repeatability and miracles do not. Marxian man is Stalin and Schwab too.

This man is cut off from the past and at the same time deprived of any tension toward the future (in order to be “new” he had to conform to a world that kept changing at a faster and faster rate, but without any interior change; in short, the technological world). He was reduced to pure present – and was peculiarly celebrated as “creative freedom” because of this liberation. Nothing was handed down to him (tradition derives from tradere), he had nothing to hand down, and he was only supposed to take his place in a process that was irreversible but without any qualitative leaps. At this point, this man’s freedom thus understood reduces to fragmentation. Vitality arises only from “novelty.” Novelty derives its value only from the fact that it “denies,” and inebriates man, thus giving him a refreshing feeling of being alive. POP POP POP CULTURE then gone.

I think the term Nazi may have originated from the ending of the word: Askenazi. I am not sure though. Linguistics have been one of the targets of the Parasites for centuries.

Thank you kindly. I've been very tired, but I am following you, whenever I can. At happy moments, I'm able to catch good writing from other "small ones" like me and cross-post them, but I'm cautious about cross-posting anything that is not unique, because I can cause more harm than good, if the piece is not exceptional. As authors, we all have our moments. :)

I'll be allowed to operate only as long as the number of daily visitors or subscribers (I'm not sure which) doesn't reach 10 thousand (my best guesstimate, but I've always been accurate at those things). Once I start contradicting myself or start giving "interviews," you can be sure, it's not going to be me. (I don't give interviews in order to make sure it won't be easy to make deepfake videos/interviews with me.)

Well, here is a contradiction in my work (I hope, there are not many more). I used to think that cross-publishing would only attract unwanted attention:

https://rayhorvaththesource.substack.com/p/is-substack-now-turning-completely

By now, I believe that time is running out a lot faster that the small conglomerate of authentic authors would exceed a threshold. We are all marked, anyway, so might as well do what we can as long as it remains possible.
