The remnants’ revenge
- A pamphlet fuelled by hope
Trust
Scandinavia and in particular Norway is known as having a people that place a lot of trust in each other.
Many call this a valuable social capital.
Today I call it a liability.
Few ask where the trust come from and to whom trust was awarded.
Trust doesn’t appear by itself and it’s not something you own.
On the contrary, trust is something you have to earn and which you are bound to lose if you do the wrong thing.
It has been suggested that our harsh Nordic climate forced us to trust each other as this was necessary in order to survive.
This is in my opinion a crude and unsatisfactory explanation.
We know for sure that our tradition of trust predates the formation of the state.
And when we study history we see that the people, for good reason, had a fundamental distrust in people with power.
I’ve many times written about my ancestors in Trøndelag, the middle part of Norway, who had a legal obligation to kill any king who placed himself above the law.
This is the perfect example of distrusting the politicians as a matter of principle.
The Trønders probably knew that they would lose their freedom if they gave an ambitious king as much as an inch.
Instead these «resistance provisions,» as they were called, meant that the people built trust in each other, because those who abstained from hunting down the tyrant king would lose their friends and with that their security too.
“Join the fight against the state and we trust you. Be a free rider and we distrust you and despise you.”
I don’t know who came up with the idea that we ought to trust institutions such as the state or individuals such as politicians.
Those who succeeded with sowing the seeds of this idea in my culture must have had a hell of a marketing budget.
But the reality seems to be that someone where able to pull off this incredible feat – to make people start distrusting each other and instead trusting, or more precisely worshiping the state.
A Jens we better listen to
One of the best authors we’ve had in Norway, Jens Bjørnebo (1920 -1976), once said in a TV interview that:
“Power should be accompanied by chronic distrust.”
Bjørneboe was deeply sceptical to the Norwegian state’s accumulation of and use of power.
He was highly cherished by the people.
This included the gay community, which included Jens himself.
Sadly, no Norwegian author has been able to climb up on the throne that he sat on, being the uncontested Norwegian champion of anarchism.
Finally, some good news
All hope isn’t lost though.
We are still some remnants who are vocal about the ideas of individual liberty in this country.
And there are signs that gives us reason to cling on to our optimism.
The OECD recently published a survey on trust in government.
Reading that the share of Norwegian citizens who greatly trust the government dropped by 16 percentage points (64 to 48%) from 2021 to 2023 was highly satisfactory.
It might indicate that we see an awakening in my country.
When you read below what has been going on in Norway since World War II, you see my point about trust being a liability more clearly.
And the rapid decline in the trust in the government probably means that people begin to understand that the politicians gravely have abused what the people have given them.
FDR
Franklin D. Roosevelt, famous for his New Deal program, is probably the most socialist president that the US has ever had.
In the middle of WWII, on 16 September 1942, he gave a famous speech as he handed over the Royal Navy ship HNoMS King Haakon VII at the Washington Navy Yard.
Roosevelt said:
"If there is anyone who still wonders why this war is being fought, let him look to Norway. If there is anyone who has any delusions that this war could have been averted, let him look to Norway; and if there is anyone who doubts the democratic will to win, again I say, let him look to Norway."
Considering how ill prepared the Norwegian government was when Germany invaded us on 9 April 1940 as well as the widespread treason among highly ranked Norwegian officers, it can be discussed how honest the final part of the citation above was.
But Roosevelt was a trained liar, like most politicians, so what can you expect?
However, the problem with his speech was something else entirely, as «Look to Norway» would become a symbol that power-hungry Norwegians embraced as their own.
Egos on a cocktail of steroids and meth
Roosevelt’s punchy proclamation was turned into a slogan that to this day continues to fuel the hubris of Norwegian bureaucrats, politicians and hare-brained citizens.
This has since long become their mentality:
"Look to Norway. We have the best 'model'. We are a small nation, but learn from us and let us save the world."
Foreigners of course laugh at our pretentious Norwegian government f***ups who travel the world and meet with people with real power.
Study what such creepy career politicians as our former prime minister Jens Stoltenberg (current gen sec of Nato, lapdog of the American deep state) and today’s foreign minister Espen Barth Eide have said and done over the years, and you soon see my point.
Postwar politics in Norway
Let’s take a look at what has happened in Norway since Roosewelt gave his speech:
In 1945 the allies won the war.
The Norwegian people, on the other hand, lost the peace.
With the support from the US, our new government kept many of the intrusive measures that the Nazis had installed during their five years of occupation of Norway.
Price controls, rationing, real estate zoning, central planning of medicine and education, harassment of the Sami people, sterilization of the Romanis, government appointed statisticians running the economy - you name it.
It was the whole shebang of socialist policies.
The government didn't just keep the Nazis’ road map, they perfected it.
A crazy health tsar
It's noteworthy that they installed Karl Evang as director of the national directorate of health.
He was deep into eugenics, promoted the use of contraceptives heavily and became one of the founders of the World Health Organization.
Evang once wrote:
"The idea of limiting the number of people with weak genes is a perfectly rational thought that always has been in accordance with socialism. In the socialist planned community, this will be a natural part of preventive health work."
He kept his position until 1972, the year I was born.
If Evang had known back then what I was about to become, he would probably have given my parents the Romani treatment.
For good measure, our government appointed his brother, Vilhelm, as head of the intelligence service.
I guess they were both cut out to do the work necessary to make the dream of a socialist Norway come true.
When the schools and media still to this day refer to the socialist policies of the post-war period as «the rebuilding of Norway» you begin to see the level of gaslighting we’ve been exposed to.
Oil riches
The new ruling class set out to capitalize as much as possible on their power grab, and when oil reserves were discovered in the North Sea, the state's revenue and influence on people's lives grew enormously.
Most of the oil revenue is being pumped into what has become the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund.
As with our culture of high trust, everyone sees this fund, which is supposed to finance the government’s future pension obligations, as an important stock of public capital.
I, on the other hand, see the fund squarely as a liability.
Not only does it create perverse incentives for our politicians, see comments below.
In addition, it’s managed by billionaire Nicolai Tangen, who publicly has supported 100% inheritance tax.
More importantly, it makes the Norwegian state a perpetually growing attack vector.
The parasitic elite in Russia, the EU and the US probably lick their lips when they hear people speak about this fund.
I’ve since long argued that it should be divvied up and handed over to the citizens of Norway.
The result
Today we pay the highest taxes and have the highest debt to household income ratio in the whole world.
Due to the fatal EEA agreement of 1992, championed by “the mother of our nation” Gro Harlem Brundtland, former prime minister of Norway and director general of WHO, as well as her protégé Jens Stoltenberg, Norway is bound by a steady stream of EU clown world legislation, but we don't have any voting rights in Brussels and Strasbourg.
As NATO member we bomb cities with dark-skinned people in the Middle East and Africa whenever the US military-industrial complex wants us to.
We still have our own currency, the Norwegian krone, but its value has tanked.
We now pay about 100% more for the dollar and 50% more for the euro compared to 2008.
Once again, we see public capital being transformed into a liability.
Even economics professor Espen Gaarder Haug, a former golden boy on Wall Street, has joined our rank of rebels and calls the krone a shitcoin.
The "experts” – read; rent seeking bank economists – are already whispering about adopting the euro.
Apart from the NOK that our politicians don't give AF about, my country has in practice totally lost its sovereignty.
How to corrupt a whole nation
Our parasitic class has introduced a complex scheme of redistribution of economic resources, based on taxation, oil revenues, bread and circus.
It's called «the welfare system.»
In reality it's a corruption system that doles out confiscated shitcoins to citizens and syndicates.
This corruption system has moulded the people into becoming selfish subjects who fight tooth and nail to be the government’s darling rent seekers, while they fear and loath change and independent thinking.
The politicians happily corrupt themselves with throwing a non-stop party financed by a combination of taxes and income from the oil-pumped national pension fund.
The so-called “budgetary rule” says they can spend 3% of the pension fund every year.
Because the fund is obliged to invest all of its capital abroad, the rule means that the politicians have an even stronger incentive to debase our currency, as this gives them more to spend.
As a result, the government spends about two-thirds of mainland GDP.
Our private sector has become a playground for stupid masochists like myself.
What we see is a bunch of rats who plunder the sinking ship.
Emigration spike
Rich Norwegians say they are sick and tired of watching Norway’s downfall.
Therefore they pack the proceeds of their successful rent seeking activity in the rucksack, jump in the life rafts and set course for Switzerland.
Even Polish expats have begun returning to their homeland.
Young Norwegians increasingly see no future here, and the most talented flee to wherever they can find freedom.
Immigration floodwave
I am not against immigration.
From 1836 to 1915, some 750,000 Norwegians fled to the escape hatch called North America.
Without this option, they would have been trapped here in Norway, with much fewer options to seek happiness.
They relocated from a continent that rewarded corruption and nepotism to a continent that rewarded meritocracy.
Today this script has almost flipped on its head.
We have a grave problem with immigration in Norway now, as hundreds of thousands of immigrants from countries that has been destroyed by NATO bombs come here to suck milk from our generous welfare program.
Many of them turn into passive robots who just vote for more benefits.
Meaning, they integrate extremely well.
A minority of our new compatriots struggle with adapting, as they instead resort to pushing up our rape, armed robbery and murder statistics.
Sweden paved the way, by creating war zones dominated by criminal gangs from foreign countries.
But look to Norway, because soon we will outperform our neighbours.
How would Karl Evang have evaluated the outcome of his gang’s project?
In just 15 years, our birth rates have dropped like a stone, from 2.0 to 1.4 per woman.
The Norwegian version of Anthony Fauci would probably have seen this as a tremendous feat and punched his chest while he said with pride – “Look to Norway.”
The question is how he would have perceived the massive import of non-Aryan people.
Because immigration significantly outstrips emigration and outweighs the declining baby production, our public bureau of statistics estimates that the population grows from 5.4 million today to 6 million in 2050.
Considering that birth rates drop like a stone, the bureau’s numbers indicate a complete transformation of our society.
Being “Norwegian” soon becomes a nonsensical term.
Was this part of Karl Evang’s dream?
Or did he perhaps envision to on-board himself, Vilhelm and their friends on “Karl’s arch” and paddle to Atlantis?
The transformation
In my 51 years of having walked this earth, Norway has been transformed from being a relatively free society when I grew up in the 1970s and 1980s into becoming a dreadful socialist experiment, dressed up in drag queen costumes as some sort of “a modern democracy that embraces diversity”
In essence, a globalist form of woke socialism has taken over.
The proper description of this transformation is “frighteningly rapid and abhorrently ugly.”
The belief system
Yet, the biggest tragedy is that so many of my compatriots believe they are free.
Imagine that!
They still believe they are free men and women!
Or whatever they define themselves as, I can’t keep up with the multitude of pronounces they oblige us to use.
Without a doubt, they have become slaves to three masters, the state, the bank and their own brainwashed ego.
I don't accept it
The political class is 100% responsible for our tragedy.
But we, the people, are to blame for letting them do this to us.
We slept while the busy bees worked overtime to tear down our society.
We must repent, update our software, reject any attempt at creating new divides, find common ground, rediscover the value of cooperation against power-mongers and fight this evil before it’s too late.
Our kids should leave
I've told my daughter to go abroad.
She doesn’t have any responsibility for what we have let the ruling class do to our country.
Our kids should hand over to my generation the task of cleaning up this mess.
She understands how serious the situation is, and that picking up the bill the older generations try to send to her isn’t an option.
Therefore, next year she leaves, 19 years old.
I hope she finds happiness.
And I hope her generation has at least twice as many babies as my generation had.
That would be the most beautiful revenge imaginable.
I see hope
The OECD survey on trust in the government is a catastrophe for the political class, but welcome news for the rest of us.
Who knows, with this speedy drop in trust the people of Norway might soon embrace my #RebelUp slogan and wave goodbye to experimenting with the social fabric.
Returning to our roots, where we despise ambitious people who seek power, is a much better option.
I solemnly pledge
In recognition of the fact that it is my daughter's generation who owns the future and that all of them have a fundamental right to freedom - I'll make the following vow:
I will continue to fight this battle of ideas against the parasitic class.
I will do what I can to cure my people of the socialist/globalist/woke brain virus which they unleashed upon us.
I will do everything in my power to restore among my people the spirit our ancestors used to have a long time ago.
And if many fight for the same cause and we succeed, I hope our kids and grandkids come back some day in the future and visit us.
Because Norway is a fantastically beautiful country.
And it belongs to us – the Norwegians.
Outro
Let me finish by recycling some of Roosevelt's own words:
If there is anyone who still wonders why this war is being fought, let him look to Norway.
If there is anyone who has any delusions that this war could have been averted, let him look to Norway.
And if there is anyone who doubts the remnants' will to win this battle of ideas, let him look to Norway.

Theory:
Priority No. 1 for the parasitical class is now to control as much #bitcoin as possible.
They will do a lot of harmful things to suppress the bitcoin price while they are still in control, especially before Trump becomes president again, in order to be able to buy at the lowest possible price.
If I'm right, the bitcoin price continues to develop more sideways than upwards in the coming months.
What do you think?
I don't understand your position. Creating negative events and news that make ordinary people abstain from buying bitcoin reduces the demand and therefore alse hampers the price increase compared to if ordinary people continued to buy. That other goverments/institutions become buyers isn't imo relevant. They will become buyers anyway, and they would probably also buy more was it not for negative events
If Trump goes all-out with his tariff scheme, he kicks off a trade war that takes the dollar into its terminal phase faster than he can say "I took a bullet for democracy."
Because there are no constants in the field of human action, the equation of mathematical catallactics [the analysis of actions which are conducted on the basis of monetary calculation] cannot be made to serve practical problems [in the social sciences] in the same way the equations of mechanics solve problems through the use of data and constants that have ascertained empirically [in the natural sciences].

How important is the book Socialism by
Ludwig von Mises?
Ever since he published it in 1922, proponents of socialism solely had to rely on nurturing the masses' resent, envy and hate, as his masterpiece obliterated any hope of making a scientific argument in favor of the socialist way of organizing civil society.
https://image.nostr.build/b6a62687e6873fed848cee4cfd43b597e662dfb9b94c08b22ee32fd26b39f3d0.jpg
Monetary policy and its effect on distribution of wealth and power.
If you want to understand the policy of inflation, which only can result from someone having a monopoly on production of money, you must understand compound interest, both negative and positive compound interest.
Below I give you an example that makes you realize in no time how pronounced the effect is for the ruling class that understands and enjoys the monopoly vs. the rest of the society, us mere subjects, who are largely ignorant to the effect of the policy, but who pay the price for it.
Here we go:
Imagine that we have a nation called Clownesia, and that Mr. Pennywise has succeeded in becoming the nation's tyrannical ruler.
He has monopolized the production of money and declared the following:
1. Everyone must accept Clown Dollars (CDs) as payment (legal tender)
2. All taxes must be paid with CD
3. The total stock of CD shall increase at an average rate of 7% per year
4. Only Pennywise is allowed to own gold
5. Pennywise has the right to be the first user of the newly issued money
Rule No. 1 and 2 are in effect in almost all nation states today.
Rule No. 3 is the same as a typical rate of expansion of the stock of money in a western country today, for instance in Norway and USA in the 20 year period 2002-2022.
Rule No. 4 is the same as Executive Order 6102, signed on April 5, 1933, by US President Franklin D. Roosevelt, which forbid private ownership of gold.
Rule No. 5 is different from traditional monetary policy, where our governments in their wisdom have let private banks have the privilege of being the producers and first users of money.
In practical terms the difference is small, because banks and governments have probably been bedmates since long before the governments awarded them this profitable monopoly.
Now let's say that Pennywise today shares the title "richest man in Clownesia" with one of his subjects, let's call him Blow Jiden.
Both of them own a fortune estimated at 1 trillion CD, which coincidentally equals the total money supply today in Clownesia.
Pennywise hates Jiden, especially because the latter earned much of his fortune when he was president of Clownesia (before Pennywise came to power) due to selling top secret information to foreign governments.
Jiden unfortunately for him now suffers from dementia, and has forgotten how inflation works.
As a consequence, he has parked all of his wealth in a checking account that yields zero interest.
Pennywise, who's only shortcoming is being extremely evil and who doesn't at all suffer from cognitive issues, keeps all of his wealth, as well as the proceeds he gets from issuing more CD, in solid gold.
(He has read economic history, and knows that gold for thousands of years has kept a stable value.)
Now, here comes the question I want you to ponder:
How fast will Pennywise's wealth outpace Jiden's wealth?
I gave you a hint when I previously mentioned that you must understand the effect of compound interest if you want to understand the effect of monetary policy.
At the rate of 7% increase of the money supply, Pennywise doubles the money supply in about 10 years.
Thererefore he also doubles his wealth.
(You can google "The Rule of 72" if you want to check my math.
This rule is an easy way to calculate how long it's going to take for your money to double.)
As you understand, Pennywise enjoys the benefit of POSITIVE compound interest.
But what about poor demented Jiden?
He sees his wealth being cut by 50% in this 10 year timeframe.
The reason is that the doubling of the money supply cuts the value of each CD he owns in half.
(Again, you can use The Rule of 72 if you want to check my calculation.)
This is the same effect that you get when you double the amount of water you mix into your lemonade.
Jiden's wealth loses value due the effect of NEGATIVE compound interest.
However, my precise question was:
"How fast will Pennywise's wealth outpace Jiden's wealth?"
And the answer, since over the course of 10 years the former doubles his wealth while the latter's wealth is cut in half, the pace is 4:1 in 10 years.
After 20 years, Pennywise's wealth is 8 times Jiden's wealth.
And after 30 years, it's 16 times larger, after 40 years the ratio is 32, and so forth.
I have resorted to simplification to drive home my point.
For instance, few people people have all of their money in zero interest checking accounts.
But I have also left out the effect inflation has on people's tax burdens.
As one example, when people pay capital gains tax, they don't get any deduction of stock price appreciation caused by expansion of the money supply (meaning - we pay tax on inflation) which amplifies the rulers' benefit from the monetary monopoly.
To conclude:
This example demonstrates why the parasitical class is hellbent on keeping you in the dark about the potency of the monetary policy.
No other ordinary policy instruments come close to ensuring rapid centralization of wealth and power.
Therefore, I think you should support abolishing the current monetary monopoly.
You would also be well advised to learn more about the historical role of gold, as well as familiarizing yourself with #Bitcoin.

Just out of curiousity, and for clarification - I haven't spent 20 years working on enlightening the public, as I had a break of about 11 years (2010-2021,) when did you become aware of my writings?
It felt big and positive, but mixed with a lot of uncertainty about how things would change going forward.
It typically only starts with a handful of people who create a crack.
The time from crack to crumble can be shockingly short.
Bitcoin, an utterly crazy leadership in the EU and the US, combined with the upcoming presidential election in the US are probably the catalysts this time.
If you could own only seven things, what would you pick?
Me:
#Bitcoin hw wallet w. BTC
Smartphone
Fishing net
Shorts
Knife
Bike
Gun
And yes, I would have to move to a warm place, of course.
Short analysis following the assassination attempt and democrats now turning against their own candidate(s):
I suspect that the combination of Trump now becoming de facto canonized and Biden's insistence on remaining in the race, although it's obvious to everyone that he is a powermad vegetable, creates a power vacuum within the American left that grows by the minute.
One of the consequences is that the higher eschelons of the deep state watch the profitability of their main vehicle - the government - dwindle at a fast pace.
When these powerhungry people lose big money, they will in the end begin pointing fingers at each other.
Many predict social unrest, but because that only will increase their losses and due to the reasons described above, I think it's more likely that the really serious conflicts first arise within the deep state itself.
Therefore, I won't at all be surprised if players high up in that system start issuing contracts on each other.
My logics here is that they seem to think like criminals, and therefore they will also act accordingly.
If they clean up their own system, things might calm down for the rest of us, meaning that we can avoid civil unrest.
But I do also think they might try to create another major reshuffling of wealth away from the middle and lower upper class and into the pockets of the one-percenters, just to keep the top grifters temporarily happy.
Exploiting a medium-sized crash in the financial and subsequent rescue operations from the Fed seem like a good option for them.
In this way, they can be able to postpone what increasingly looks like an inevitable civil war within their own class.
As we say in Norway:
When the through is empty, the cows start biting each other.
Let's keep an eye on how this shitshow unfolds.
In the meantime, everyone who hasn't yet looked at #Bitcoin is probably well advised to reconsider their views on this rebellious asset.
Yes, you can of course have both or nothing, but I do thinka a violent internal conflict within the deep state itself reduces the likeliness of open conflicts in the rest of society.
In war and peace, the biggest price the political elite can win, is the right to produce money that people must use.
Once it has been achieved, they will deceive, intimidate, maim and kill to keep their precious privilege.

I think the genocide in Gaza serves the same purpose as the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki:
It warns us that there is no limit to the evil that the governments of US and Israel are willing to unleash upon the world if they don't get it their way.
In 1945 they aimed at forcing the world to ratify the Bretton Woods agreement, which wasn't a universal gold standard as many believe, but a dollar standard that benefitted the financial elite and political class at the cost of everyone else.
In 2024 it might be about slowing down the dollar's demise.
"Look carefully at what we do in Gaza. If your country stop accepting the dollar, you might be next."
That's the message.

🚨🚨🚨
Yesterday evening, on the 5th of July 2024, what IMO might become this decade's most important tune was unleashed upon Mother Earth.
(See link 👇)
The song is named "Vi nekter å knele," which in English translates into
"We refuse to bend"
🔥🔥🔥
It's made by Sondre Jørgensen, and it's a joint project with his band Det Skandaløse Orkester (The Scandalous Orchestra) and the Latin-American band Malku, both based in Bergen, Norway.
Towards the end they sing in Spanish
"el pueblo jamas sera vencido"
which means
"The people united will never be defeated"
It's a line from a popular Chilean protest song. According to Wiki it was composed by Sergio Ortega Alvarado and written together with the Quilapayún band.
In the first comment below you find a rough English translation of the lyrics that I put together in the morning hours, and in the next comment my scribblings of the original Norwegian version.
I urge you to translate it into your native language and look forward to hear it sung by people all over the world.
Remember to credit Sondre and give kudos to both bands.
Now - go ahead and have a listen!
Thank you for your attention, and have a wonderful day ❤️

We refuse to bend
---
Mom, should I trust the government?
It's not easy to believe when I watch the news
They lie through their teeth
Surely everyone can see it?
But no one dares to care because they have been given a strict warning
about doing as they say believe what they are told If everyone is lying nothing can go wrong, right?
(Chorus.)
The scandalous orchestra will never let itself be broken
We refuse to bend to people who are so rude
They split
and conquer
and scare people out of their wits
Yes, we are very scared, but we must never forget this, that we must stand together
and fight back hard
When the people unite
yes, then they will get a taste of it

So what do we do when they come to trick us again?
Yes, we must listen to Knutsen and Ludvigsen, my friend
We take a giant slingshot and chase them away
And then when they are gone we can finally have peace
Yes, they should get a taste of their own medicine
And we will go out into the streets and everything will be so nice
The scandalous orchestra will never let itself be broken
We refuse to kneel to people who are so rude
They split
and rules
and scares people out of their wits
Yes, we are very scared, but we must never forget this, that we must stand together
and fight back hard
When the people unite
yes, then they will get to taste it

The Covid-19 sin bin:
I'm deeply sorry that I didn't wholeheartedly support the small minority who were brave enough to protest the authorities' handling of Covid-19.
I let the rebels down.
I'm particularly ashamed, because as a lawyer, when I got my diploma, like all other Norwegian lawyers, I solemny had to promise I would go out and promote justice and prevent injustice.
I failed this duty miserably.
When we today see the very serious consequences of the authorities' abuse of power, with disproportionate and arbitrary lockdowns and distance regulations, in many cases mandatory vaccinations and various other harmful interventions in our freedom of movement and privacy, I just want to say that I now understand how much I'm to blame because I didn't protest openly and loudly.
Many of those who objected against the policies are bruised and battered and still have challenges in their lives due to the lack of support from their peers and the way they were treated by the rest of society.
I'll do everything to ensure that I don't make the same mistake in the future.
I'm writing this because today's postmodern society is affected by a virus that is very dangerous indeed - the fear of losing face and looking weak if one admits mistakes.
If we're to move forward in this process and succeed in forcing the authorities to put all the cards on the table, I think we must start with ourselves and acknowledge our own mistakes.
Therefore, feel free to write your own apology in the comments below, like and share, and then perhaps we can hope that many others do the same.
Thank you for your contribution.

As the most fundamental social structure - the monetary system - is based on deception, it's rational to expect that lying and delusion dominates communication. Do you want to stay sane? Study #Bitcoin
50% excess mortality in Norway, and professor Klein
"is concerned that people should not believe that the vaccine has anything to do with the increased mortality"
says the public broadcaster.
The propaganda comes thick and fast now, as the official Covid 19 narrative collapses.

I agree.
But bitcoiners should really step up their game..
In the end, the question is if you want to do some work for the great cause or just wait and see what others do.
And I don't at all buy that most people are on the limit, whether we talk about time, energy or finances.
Review of The Genesis Book, by Aaron van Wirdum (@AaronvanW)
I bought a signed copy of van Wirdum's first print of The Genesis Book at BTC Prague.
Let me just say from the outset, that it's my opinion, that this book, which gives you a deep insight into the history of the making of Bitcoin, will without doubt go down as one of the classics.
The title of the book is a clever word play, as the first block that Satoshi Nakamoto mined in January 2009 often is referred to as The Genesis Block.
Van Wirdum studied journalism as well as politics and science at the University of Utrecht.
He discovered Bitcoin in 2013 and has worked for many years in Bitcoin Magazine, including as editor-in-chief for the print edition.
The book covers a description of the ideas and actual problems related to
- the problem that Bitcoin aims at solving, which is the political control and abuse of the monetary system
- a global pool of multidisciplinary geniouses' attempts at creating a form of digital money based on chryptography that could break the rulers' monopolies, most notably people in the Cypherpunk movement
- Satoshi Nakamoto's solution to the problem, and how it for the most part represents a clever pick-and-choose of the best technical features and ideas in various failed projects of the past
The content is based on scholarly research, including in-depth studies of economics, politics and computer science, as well as on interviews with some important people in this history, including Adam Back and David Chaum.
The language is clear and easy to read.
The book's content is structured logically, with (1) chronology + (2) early giving the reader a good basic understanding of the relevant ideas related to technology, economics and politics, as two overarching principles.
It includes chapters that presents in-depth presentations of many of the various attempts at creating a revolutionary monetary system.
Van Wirdums gives us insights into some of the innovators' background and personalities.
Reading about how they interacted with others within and outside the community, makes the book an engaging read.
The bibliography and endnotes are extensive and the total volume of the book comes in at 346 pages.
For a book that covers so much ground in terms of history, sociology, culture, politics, economics, technology, game theory and chryptography, it's impressively easy to read.
I'm not well versed in the technical domain, and therefore I had to slow down my reading in some parts of the book - to try to get the essence of for instance how different forms of chryptography works.
However, I consider that to be a pleasant part of the reading experience as well, because it gives me a psychological reward when I feel that the book helps me develop my interdisciplanary skills.
Lastly, I believe The Genesis Book gives us a glimpse of the author's own personality:
He treats people with respect and sobriety, presents the history with good structure, a clear and uncomplicated language, gives ample room for engaging storytelling, as he sneaks knowledge and understanding into the readers' minds without giving us the feeling that we are studying - instead just reading for the pleasure of it.
It takes significant curiosity, talent in pedagogics, long experience with writing and a high level of intelligence to produce something like this.
Thank you, Aaron van Wirdum, for this massive feat of yours.
I'll store the book safely, and won't lend it to anyone except my nearest family.
And who knows - my copy of The Genesis Book might gain significant economic value in the future, just like Bitcoin did. https://image.nostr.build/3f82bcdcbeb1b588e681f6b8d5d399558c61968707e87fdfcf6a5ec34f4b1276.jpg
If Norwegians
- have the highest household debt to income ratio in the world (as OECD says)
- pay the highest total taxes in the world (as the newspaper Dagbladet says), and
- believe they are some of the freest people in the world (which is my firm impression),
aren't my people then really slaves to three masters, the state, the bank, and to their own brainwashed ego?

Looking forward to give my presentation "Bitcoin - the Battle against the Inflation Fraud" at the conference Framtidsfredag (Future Friday) in my hometown, Steinkjer, today. My talk is partly based on my two talks at BTC Prague last week. The conference is dominated by the "political elite." Several ministers + the president of the World Economic Forum give presentations and sit in panels.

Yesterday I decided to kill another phobia. For long I've had plans to share short videos of me saying something wise or funny or stupid or boring, whatever comes to my mind. But I haven't had the courage, until now. This one 👇 is my first, and it's about #Bitcoin https://video.nostr.build/4d75e1627d1a52341a84337c3f5c6537744fd3ffe285a129783ec423bc469772.mp4 . Which phobia do you plan to kill today?
My journey in understanding monetary policy:
In the beginning my focus was on the abuse of the monetary system by inflating the money supply that caught my attention. It drew my gaze to the Cantillon effect, which I probably spent too much time on mansplaining to others.
Second, it was the abuse by deflating the money supply that stole my focus, especially the incredibly harmful parity policy of several European governments in the 1920s, and the way the banking elite of the UK and the US exploited this in a highly elaborate scheme carried out by Benjamin Strong and Montagu Norman.
Third, I realized how many ways a monetary monopoly enabled channelization of newly created money to various favoured players. It really enables both targeted amd full-scale corruption of society.
The fourth step was understanding the significance of someone being in a position to profit from creating money that the rest of us must work for. When you look deeply into this simple fact, you really see that the Cantillon effect is of secondary importance.
And finally, fifth, after having understood better the motives for the killing of Jesus (see attached post,) I realized it was the monopolization of the monetary system itself that was the most important thing to focus the most on, because it opens up so many opportunities for the ruler to control people's behavior and extract wealth from them.
Looking back, it feels like I have been wrestling with an onion, but I see more clearly now, that the main focus has to be on the simple question of monetary monopoly vs. monetary freedom, something which luckily is reflected in all of my books on money.
If we in the public debate can focus on this core subject, monetary monopoly vs. monetary freedom, instead of just talking about the symptoms, such as for instance price increases, I believe it will be easier to win over more people in our fight against the political elite.

Notes by Rune Østgård | export
The lyrics has a nod to Knutsen & Ludvigsen, a Norwegian band with anarchic leanings, and who created absurd entertainment for children and adults. The band consisted of Øystein Dolmen ("Knutsen") and Gustav Lorentzen ("Ludvigsen"). They song about the two fantasy figures Knutsen and Ludvigsen, two "little guys who live in a tunnel," and their bizarre ideas. https://image.nostr.build/d17123cc068d44a6ab5d550fc1ae0c6c8b685a699eff3c66f841c1ea265eda7b.jpg https://image.nostr.build/3f3674f933c16c338b083150e7761ae5d8fa57612678f9f87c8c6a277bd2c5c5.jpg
