Mattis and I are grateful for having received the first review of UNBAR, sent from based Bitcoin core developer Abubakar Nur Khalil. Read it below.
🙏🧡
***
UNBAR is a must-read for those seeking a nuanced understanding of the relationship between geopolitics, power and money.
The author strings along concise links between civilizations' past and shares lessons we can draw from it. As a result, UNBAR provides a unique synthesis and analysis of case studies which serve as a thought-provoking guide that emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility and collective action in shaping the future.
The book explores the risks to the American hegemony, and through critical examination it offers a sophisticated analysis of the geopolitics of money. UNBAR demonstrates the significance of monetary freedom and the impact it has had on civilizations and people. The author introduces Bitcoin as a bridge that connects to our previous monetary freedom roots and argues that this new technology is a transformative force that has a positive effect on the development of the new world order.
While the book starts with a preface that builds intrigue, it ends with a highly effective afterword dedicated to the youth – where the author emphasizes the need for discipline, virtue, action and a collective sense of purpose as the primary way to escape the perilous economic conditions of today.

AN OATH TO THE SMEARERS
This is an oath to the smearers out there, those of you who plague society and social media with your bad behavior.
If you are of the uncivilized type who fear that you might now and then fall into the trap of mimicking others' uncivilized conduct and call people names and use slur, you probably should read this as a warning.
And if you want to change things for the better, you might want to read it to the end and join me by signing up to this oath.
Making people accept lockdowns, taking COVID-19 vaccines with an unknown substance and not protesting climate change taxation, regulation and other measures to avoid "boiling the earth", would never, ever have worked without deception, coercion and SMEARING, of which the latter is nothing but good, old fashioned BULLYING.
"Traitor", "anti-vaxxer", and "climate denier" is unfortunately still being used by people from all walks of life.
Ironically enough, the same people who actively use such slur are in general agreement that we must make our children understand that bullying is immoral and wrong.
Well, let me tell you one thing:
Those of you who fall into this category are all 🤡🤡🤡.
And allow me to add the following:
There can be absolutely no doubt about the fact that it is the elected politicians who are the worst when it comes to smearing.
Like lying and brute force, smearing befalls them naturally, as they use it routinely in public and closed debates.
Politicians are the worst smearers and they set the standard for the rest of the people.
At the same time as politicians continue to drive the value of their shitcoins called "national currency" to zero due to intentional debasement in a policy we all know as "inflation", they now keep shouting out lies that #Bitcoin is a threat to "financial stability" (as if the banking system they have set up provide any stability at all), that this new form of private money is being used at large scale to finance terrorism and that it destroys the climate.
Now, if you are foolish enough to take their slur for truth and choose to shun Bitcoin, then it's yourself and the ones who are near and dear to you who will be at a loss.
You not acquiring bitcoin, means less demand and lower prices for the rest of us who want to exchange our labor and NOK and USD and EUR and other shitcoins for Bitcoin.
You in fact become a subsidy to the rest of us, by abstaining from buying it.
Which is perfectly ok with me.
However, if you jump on the bullying bandwagon and smear people who make a different choice than yourself, you can be 100% sure that I will keep my promise to you and call you out as an uncivilized, ignorant moron who should go to the mall, buy a red nose and send a job application to your local circus.
Because, following years with uncivilized behavior during the climate change and lockdown, I've gotten sick and tired of you.
My patience is gone, and I wan't none of this smearing shit anymore.
Zero.
Instead you should read up, acquire knowledge and take part in civilized discourse.
So, heed my warning:
Smear your fellow man at your own risk.
Because:
I solemny swear that I will come down so hard at you and make you taste such a good dose of your own medicine that you will regret it immediately.
I promise that I will do this, whether your bad behavior is related to Bitcoin or anything else.
If you want to sign up to this oath, let me know in the comments and pass it on to your followers.
Testing an idea:
The freerider problem is a key reason why state power grows unchecked, because the ones who try to resist carry all the burden of fighting, while the benefits if they win are widely shared among the people, including those who just remained passive as the fight against those who used to be in power went on.
People understand this intuitively, something which gives most of them incentives to be freeriders and let others take care of the resistance.
I notice this all the time - as people come up to me and say:
"Rune, I'm so glad you speak out on our behalf and write books that are important for society, and I would like to support you publicly, but you know I have a job in X and a family, and blah, blah, blah."
which I really have mixed feelings about, although it's probably better than not getting any feedback at all.
However, what I'm slowly getting to, is that this situation and the incentives shift dramatically when people realize that the state has become corrupt through and through and that the economy has been turned into a pile of dung.
At that point the network effects of continuing to adapt to the state and follow the lead of the corrupt are negative and grow exponentially every day, while in contrast joining the few who are still uncorrupted at an earliest possible stage may offer exponentially positive network effects.
Meaning: If you wait long before you join the good citizens who want to resist and fight the usurpers, you lose out immensely on the positive network effects you could have enjoyed if you weren't such an effin coward.
Think of it - there are reasons why those who remain loyal to tyrants until the empire fall often find it quite challenging to make new friends, while those who resisted and fought bravely when the rebels were just a small group become heroes that parents tell stories about to their children.
If this idea is valid, it should provide sufficient reason for you to jump down from the pile of dung (because today it most definitely is a p. o. d. ), wave goodbye to any corrupt associates you have become involved with (oh, yeah, just look around you, they are everywhere and all over the place) and...
Rebel the f up.

How valuable is Bitcoin?
If you combine the value of a public infrastructure such as the open seas with the value of a discovery such as how to make fire and the value of an invention such as the telegraph you might get close.
We chose this day to release UNBAR because we think our book makes important contributions to the social layer and distribution of knowledge that Satoshi's gift to humankind made possible to develop.

Mainstream media's coverage of the conflict between Israel and Palestine ignore the enormous importance of financial imperialism.
Before we dive into that, let's begin with some fundamentals:
Civilization scales in layers.
Layer zero is the belief system.
Layer one is the monetary system.
Everything else is layered upon the monetary system.
In practice this means that a sound monetary system promotes peace and prosperity, while an unsound monetary system promotes war and economic destruction.
So, which monetary system is the relationship between Israel and Palestine built upon?
Many Norwegians take pride in the Norwegian government's involvement in the peace process between Israel and Palestine which took place in the 1990s.
When we look at the monetary system they made the parties agree too, there is no reason to think highly about it.
On the contrary.
It's a disastrous arrangement.
It fits US interests, with the privilege they have with the global reserve currency - the dollar standard, like a glove.
No wonder why Bill Clinton's smiles happily in the picture below.
And it was perfect if Israel wanted to continue to subjugate the Palestinian people.
The Protocol on Economic Relations, also called the Paris Protocol 1994 and the Oslo II Accord of 1995, decided that the Israeli shekel should be used in the Palestinian territories as a circulating currency that had to be accepted by the Palestinian Authority and by all its institutions, local authorities and banks.
The Palestinians were not allowed to independently introduce a separate Palestinian currency.
This meant that Palestine weren't allowed to have their own monetary system.
Instead, the Israeli governments and Israeli banks were given the privilege of exporting their inflation to Palestine by increasing the supply of shekel.
The Israelis could literally print money out of nothing, and demand that the Palestinians send them goods and services that they had to work to produce in return.
Which is outright financial slavery.
The Israelis made good use of this opportunity.
In fact:
The Israelis have made massive use of it.
Israel has more than 14 x'ed it's money supply since 1994.
It makes it impossible for Palestinians to save.
The fruits of their labor are extracted into the coffers of Israel's government and into the pockets of super wealthy people living in Israel.
While the people of Israel and the rest of the developed world have access to securities markets and can invest in real estate to get some protection against inflation, the Palestinians largely don't have this option.
Which means that they are victims of an all out economic war.
Every.
Single.
Day.
The fruits of their labor just disappear.
Some say inflation is "theft" and "a hidden tax".
I call it fraud.
What we can agree upon is that it's a highly efficient wealth extraction device.
The exorbitant privilege of producing money out of nothingness is also the most powerful political tool you can have, more powerful than any weapon.
Let me be very clear about the following:
The monetary system that Norwegian bureaucrats and politicians helped set up in Palestine doesn't provide any excuse for terrorism.
But it's an important part of the explanation of why Gaza attracts and breeds extremism.
They have a monetary system that give them NO HOPE at all.
Everything the Palestinians try to save finds it's way to the Israelis by the means of manipulation of the supply of the shekel.
Destitute Palestinians sit in Gaza and watch the people of Israeli become rich at their expense.
It's an arrangement that fuels hate and resentment.
It must end immediately.
Stop scratching the surface.
What do you think about the first round of the presidential election in Argentina?
The annual increase in the money supply of national currencies such as the Norwegian kroner and the US dollar is about 7% per year. This accounts for most, but not all, of the costs of maintaining these monetary systems. The corresponding energy required to produce the services, labor and goods that must be traded to finance this cost is enormous.
