I love how they always have the nerve to ask why we are acting this way when they try to scam us. I'm an artist and I've gotten so sick of the scammers messaging me that one time, I decided to have a little fun. This guy wanted to buy rights to my art as NFTs. The funniest part is that one of the ones he chose was unfinished. Anyway, I started asking him to pay me in pennies. After awhile, he's like "Why are you doing this to me?" Seriously? Like William Rockefeller Sr, they have no conscience.

My father, after he graduated from vet school at the Univ of the Philippines, received a scholarship from the John D Rockefeller foundation in 1963 to pursue his PhD in veterinary medicine Colorado State University. He was one of two poor but deserving students to receive this. I knew author Ida Tarbell's writings were responsible in the breakup of Standard Oil; because it was a monopoly. But I didn't know about John D's father, William Sr. being a scam artist. Incredible...

Can you relate a little more how you set up the tiered payment system? I’m small, but I’m thinking about taking on Substack more seriously… while it still exists in a non-faecebookian form.

Worst is yet to come. Donald "The Beast" Trump is building a wall once again. Colossal tariff wall that is the beginning of the end for the system of down. At first the beast will pull the plug out of the global economy. The worst financial crisis of human history will pull a swarm of the banks underwater and the bank run begins. Then the beast will collapse a mountain of debt shattering the backbone of the monetary system causing a systemic risk to realize. Finally the beast will cast American citizens into a system slavery under the name of Ronald Wilson Reagan, just to "honor his legacy" count the number. After the destruction a new world order will be established in the US. And the Golden Age begins from the ruins of the world wide collapse. All of the system slaves will love it. No more cash - just digital transactions. No more traditional criminal activity. No more tax evasion. No more transactions without the "all seeing eye". Outcasts will hate the world without freedom, hope and privacy. To cover up the mess and distract the public by smoke and mirrors, the beast will engage in a war with Iran. Lies and deceit, corruption and decay, dancing on the graves will continue. Until; Black hole sun, won't you come, won't you come... I want to play a game. Time has come to opt out of the empire of filth. Live or die...
