A Living Organized Summary of Rounding the Earth’s Primary Mission

While it will take time to weave together the many threads of the stories I’m writing at Rounding the Earth, ultimately, they do all fit together into a cogent story of how and why we are traveling through a portal of change, and whether the results will be freedom or slavery for humanity on the other side. Understanding this story of mass global change is important, and frankly difficult. I find myself forming new insights every day as I research so many topics. I do not pretend to be able to make sense of all of it, but filtering so many thousands of pages of reading into connected frameworks certainly helps. Let’s make sense of it all together.

Like it or not, a world war is underway, and it has been underway for longer than most people realize. It is the World Civil War, pitting an increasingly tyrannical ruling class against everyone else. Its development is slow at least partially because the collapse of the world’s reserve currency, the U.S. dollar, is slow. Right now major players are setting up more overt moves while making subtler plays. This could change.

This particular newsletter page will be updated from time to time as stories progress and intersect. If you want to bookmark one page at this substack, this is the one.

Please share this substack and subscribe to support this mission. I am sharing most articles for free, and working on them (and research for scientific publication) full time.

You can also follow me at Minds.com or twitter.

The Bitcoin Wars

I am still working on initial articles in this series. The Bitcoin Wars will cover topics in cryptocurrency, but also the potential resolution of the Triffin Paradox should a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin supplant the rapidly failing dollar. This series will involve immediate interplay with The Monetary Wars.
