We have to look away from politicians, and stop thinking they are saviors. Tulsi Gabard has flipped flopped again. Taking the position of when she was a congresswoman, standing up for what is right. She is not saying anything about the AI controlled infrastructure and enslavement by technology that overrules the Constitution, even when unPatriotic "patriot" Act or Fisa courts are dismantled.

Alright, then.

I just read this guy's 'All Wars are Bankers' War' bullshit, calling the perversity and psychotic nature of Jews in Occupied Palestine a fucking WAR. Slaughter is genocide, ethnic cleansing is the sickness of their Judaism.

My comment:

War? Bankers? This is a genocide, JPL. Can we get Substackers to get the lexicon and etymology correct.

No jets, helicopters, missiles, satellites, submarines, boats, tanks, bulldozers, command centers, and the dirty Klanadians and EuroTrashLandians and AmeriKKKans supporting this GENOCIDE.

The Jewish State of Jewish Raping Murdering Starving Poisoning Polluting Maiming is a Jewish Project of racism, perversity, supremacy.

This is ETHNIC cleansing.

So, the psychotic whites of Judaism in Jewish State of Terror Occupied Palestine are sick beyond the pale, and alas, the Finks and Ellisons and Altmans and Zuckerbergs and Adelsons and Stephen Millers and Kushners and Scwarzmans and the other 130 Jewish billionaires will MAKE bank.

The goal of the Jews in the Jewish State (sic) of So-called Israel is perversity first.

With a view to refocusing on things we can change, here's an approach for local people anywhere that we're developing around Merseyside, England with various local service providers who function as 'sub-contractors' to projects.

We'd be delighted to discuss with anyone or group who wishes to 'mirror' in their locality:

‘’An Alternative Approach to Well-Being’’

Co-op Lab Private Members Association (pma)

SCOPE

The concept of ‘social value’ has been degraded into a mechanism for corporations to win contracts by ‘ticking boxes’ to identify ‘public benefits’ rarely delivered. While the ‘public debt’ is created by private banking corporations to be recycled through ‘The Treasury’ to private corporations and back to the ‘banks’. In effect, public-private ‘partnerships’, controlled by investment management conglomerates (Blackrock et al) thrive on access to our ‘public debt’.

Meanwhile, annual U.K. Government Expenditure exceeds £1000 billion p.a.; plus annual debt-interest of some £100 billion back to ‘banksters’. Clearly, we must restructure this unsustainable ‘gravy train’ into a genuine public bank facility where public funds are directly accessible to communities wishing to provide their own public services. In effect, we can reapply our skills, time and knowledge to local projects founded on hope-in-action. Thus, well-being can become the foundation of genuine social value; with improved and cheaper public services enhanced by debt-free forms of liquidity and barter.

To do this, we must show how our projects and services create well-being as the ROI (return on investment) on public spending across all sectors. We can develop business plans and prospectuses to attract the early-stage investment in order to prove-concept in an entirely novel approach to investment and valuation. So, we can initiate a market-space where growth and excellence flow across all sectors as local people exchange skills, time and knowledge; a process of choosing love of life through co-operation in real hands-on, life-long learning.

By learning to serve ourselves, we will develop a new gold standard for investment in our local projects and services. Quite simply we will stand as owner-developer-producer-consumers, producing together the quality of goods and services that we require.

Effective healing modalities and approaches to health and well-being exist, while numerous local communities remain afflicted with the costs of ‘learned hopelessness and helplessness’. Co-op Lab is a process where local people can unfold the common desire for health and well-being through the power of cooperation. By choosing to exchange their skills, time and knowledge in projects with like-mind folk - ‘’birds-of-a-feather’’ - they create social value by providing local services better and cheaper.

In effect, members embrace the power of co-operation as a mission arising from shared vision and values. This new mindset supports balanced, creative exchanges between local people. So, the structure of a new ‘Market-Space’ is formed, founded on mutual trust, common sense and real values. A platform where stress can reduce as enjoyment unfolds from clarity of purpose to support individual and collective healing.

OPERATION

The Co-op Lab process unfolds as networks of private member associations form local hub guilds to provide and deliver local goods and services. Placing ‘’well-being’’ as the ‘’main attraction’’, ensures common ground for the process to unfold with local ‘community champions’ combining their expertise in executive and non-executive Boards.

Of course, this form of local joint venture requires analysis, discussion and agreement to unfold a working model as ideas and resources are pooled in service to local needs and aspirations. Key operational issues relate to:

• assembling the local ‘champions’ - ‘Board’ members with non-executive support

• producing an operational financial model for labour, materials and equipment

• identifying lines of supply, demand and distribution for goods and services

• developing business plans and prospectuses for support and investment

• agreeing to follow parallel critical paths to unfold core strategic needs:

◦ expand services for well-being across inter-related hub guild pma networks

◦ identify all labour, materials, equipment and funding requirements en route

◦ ensure relevant media and marketing resources are available in support

◦ provide ‘think-and-do tank’ teams for essential research and development

◦ develop the Co-op Lab platform incrementally into a collective ‘Market-Space’

PRODUCING A BUSINESS PLAN & PROSPECTUS TO PROVE CONCEPT

• contractual terms as the basis for a co-operative hub guild network:

◦ quality control and provision of space for production and distribution

◦ local producers, suppliers, consultants tutors, students and consumers

◦ staffing, training, repairing, maintaining, insuring, discussing, assessing

• marketing:

◦ ‘umbrella’ branding of vision - values - mission - methodology

◦ clarity of opportunities with case studies and operational models

◦ pathways and services available to enable balanced growth

◦ on-line presence with websites plus video, audio, blog/vlog, conference

• network growth:

◦ price uniformity and quality assurance in provision of goods and services

◦ cross-sector hub guild support and collaboration between ‘sub-contractors’

◦ sales & marketing support for projects, joint ventures, premises and equipment

◦ outreach provision to homes, groups, businesses and all related organisations

Essential Financial, Management & Development Issues

• opportunities for pma members to ‘self-fund’ as owner-producer-supplier-consumers

• contractual terms & obligations founded on pma member’s oath ‘to do no harm’

• common income-expenditure basis for cash flow recording and allocations

• cross-fertilisation of interrelated hub guilds - sports, arts, food, farming, media etc.

• aggregation of production and purchasing power across lines of supply and demand

• development of critical mass seeking real social value in:

◦ economies of scale as networks ‘self-supply’ education, employment & training

◦ increasing savings to public expenditure from community ‘’self-governance’’

◦ tax-exemptions for related investment, donation/barter of goods and services

◦ ‘laundering’ debt as knowledge exchanges generate debt-free local currency

◦ development of assets, goods and services founded on loyalty to real values

◦ prospectuses for investment in specific hub guilds and/or project portfolios

What the fuck is that creature meant to be, a vulture crossed with a rat maybe? Inbreeding is not advised.
