While I agree that this gentleman writes well, I think the potentially actionable issues that might emerge here, will be more independent of one another, than part of a popular uprising against oligarchy.
We’ve all been through 5+ years of Covid now, and it’s pretty clear that the leaks in the media’s many propaganda balloons, have been sealed up pretty tightly, just as overall technocratic control has been more firmly centralized in fewer hands.
Issues that effect individual families and communities. like the rising cost of youth sports or fire engines… I think these are issues volatile enough to mobilize small local communities, because that’s where the pain gets felt, and where most changes have to begin.
I understand his impulse to wax poetic and lofty about these signs signifying some kind of trend… but to put that next to America’s abject willingness to accept the Biden presidency as legitimate, is to put an incapacitating strain on the political system, as a barometer of anything truly resistant or anti-oligarchic.
We are a population under attack at all the various environmental, biomedical, economic, and psychological levels — a population so attacked does not just pirouette and go in a new direction. Not when they have been converted into fleets of rusty old-style battleships that don’t go anywhere fast, and take a long time to turn around.
Sadly, we are not a nimble population anymore. We have been made thick and non-responsive by those same oligarch and globalist policy makers. Sure, sometimes we are given some slack, but usually just enough to hang ourselves.
I’m not a pessimist, mind you, but I think we must look for change at the individual and local levels, where it might actually have a powerful effect.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. The man in the street worries about his next meal at the dinner table rather than "the powerful effects emanating from ruminations and active campaigning at higher levels". The little guy will continue being the little guy. He's been shaped and formed to fit into the nondescript category where his survival doesn't include his participations in lofty realities and as long as ballot boxes can be pre-stuffed with candidates who will continue this rot, there won't be any revelations sprouting up like mushrooms. If things were measurably different, we'd be out in the streets with 30/30's just a'lookin' for high falutin' oligarchs that need a bit of heating and hammering to "our way" of thinking. I think there's a place for violence in our future unless folks want to stay at their humble stations and be guaranteed of their constant and forever servilities.
"The responsibility lies squarely with everyone of moderate intelligence or above, who embarks on personal enrichment with unbridled ambition."
Does that mean that oligarchs should be off the hook because their IQs are all below 98 or because3 none of them are guilty of embarking on personal enrichment with unbridled ambition, or what?
For everyone's info, it is both right to blame the oligarchs and at the same time to blame everyone else, including ourselves, who enables the unbridled pursuit of ambition and much more.
No point blaming oligarchs. Now, what does that really mean? We lay off criticisms of those with unlimited wealth? Remember the old bromide, "behind every great fortune is a great crime". And you want us to lay off oligarchs?? How about we lay into Zionism as one of the great anchors of greed? Too touchy to mention? Yeah, let's blame the 98 IQers because they want to buy another second hand pickup truck to keep the farm going.
Stoller confuses things. The Fed was created in 1913 along with the Income Tax just in time to fund WW1. After the war Wall Street made loans to Europe to rebuild. By the late 1920s those loans were defaulted upon so Wall Street,who had recently introduced Margin Debt (loans to buy stocks), called in the margin debt to cover the war loan defaults. This is what created the mania and caused the massive crash. Then FDR gave more power to Wall Street just like Obama.
These three helped start Substack in 2017 and remain key figures in the company. 
• Institutional investors:
Substack has raised venture capital funding from firms such as:
• Andreessen Horowitz (a16z)
• The Chernin Group
• BOND Capital
• Y Combinator
– plus smaller investors through a 2023 crowdfunding round. These investors own significant equity stakes, but exact percentages are not publicly disclosed. 
What this means
• No single person “owns” Substack outright — ownership is shared between its founders and venture capital shareholders.
• Because it’s privately held, its stock isn’t publicly traded, and detailed ownership percentages aren’t publicly required.
..."Though a crash may be necessary (as well as inevitable) to finally put the needed reforms into place"...and exactly who will be putting those reforms into place? GOVERNMENT which will lead us back to square one. Nothing will change as government is not the answer to anything. It is 100% of the problem.
Government is 100% of the problem because of who owns and controls it and it's the same bunch that owns and controls practically everything of any consequence.
In fact, it was the financial elite who cooked up the constitution (and thus big gubmint)) to protect their own interests under the pretext of protecting the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness of the masses.
Until a few months ago, it was difficult to make people understand that there exists a "world power" that goes beyond the USA, Russia, China, etc..
I called it Spectre (like in the 007 movies where it wanted to start a war between the USA and Russia).
Now that it's actually happening, now that its representatives in Europe are out in the open, now that the USA (faced with the evidence) is proclaiming a new foreign policy and defense doctrine, people are starting to respect reality and call things by their proper names.
Finally, satan is being called by his true name, no longer pfizer or nato.
Yes 2026 could be the year critical mass is reached to overcome the status quo. Just a feeling or a sense. People are fed up and see no solutions coming from either major party.
IT'S THE OMNIWAR! They can stick their f*cking damned AI, Wearables, Chips, CBDC/NO CASH, NANO, Digital IDs, and Jabs up their asses where the sun don't shine!

MISTAKES WERE NOT MADE! THEY can't get rid of the 'useless eaters' fast enough!
Peddling pure poison! Folks have to wake up to reality: health comes from organic diet, daily exercise and clean living and never from a needle or a pill except in dire, rare traumatic injuries.
It was NEVER about health! The Powers That Should Not Be were ALWAYS about they want you DEAD or a SLAVE! This is a painful truth to accept but we the people must wake up and fight back! And toxic injections/pills were/are a huge part of their arsenal!
This horrifying Congress Critters, Gates, Governor 'Gruesome Newscum', 'Lone Scum', Soros, 'Benedict' Biden and Harris and even Trump, Vance, and 'Ramaswampy' et al are blatant fully owned and operated puppets of their globalist technocrat parasite masters same as other numerous 'PUBLIC SERPENTS' infesting by design from above, the bureaucratic apparatus.
Can't say this often enough! The Military/Industrial Complex and the Biowarfare/industrial Complex, WEF agenda and the evils assaulting humanity are from one and the same source - it is the 99% against the diabolical GREED of the 0.01% who should not be in charge of anything!
The monsters in human skin suits who rule the world get a sadistic vampiric thrill and boost from perpetrating the vilest most demonic crimes against the most vulnerable (babies and small children) and then corrupting the system to get away with it scot free!

And BIG pHARMa is an arsenal making permanently sickly addicted slaves dependent on their products - the complete opposite of actual health.
Can't say this often enough!
SCREW THE HYPOCHONDRIA GERMAPHOBIC FEAR HYSTERIA! DO NOT CONSENT! Avian flu is for the birds! RESIST!
KEEP FIGHTING! All the perps who pushed this greatest crime against humanity, all the way down to the local level, must get their comeuppances!
Proudly ANTI-VAXX! Reiterating for the sake of newbies and to support this post.
Ban all vaccine jabs! There has never been a 'safe and effective' vaccine since Edward Jenner's fraud over 200 years ago as per 'Dissolving Illusions' by Suzanne Humphries and 'Turtles All the Way Down' by Anonymous. Health can never come from a needle or pills, but from healthy eating, healthy exercise and healthy living! virustruth.net
Divide and rule! Agents provocateurs anyone, FALSE FLAGS, propaganda social engineering psyops? Keeping us proles at each others' throats while the globalist technocrat predators laugh all the way to the BIS and The Bank of Rothschild's!

I’m glad I have never wanted to be rich. I’ve always been happy having enough to be comfortable.
So much money flowing from the treasury to the corporations and back to the politicians. Total circle jerk.
No way can we the people pay off 36 trillion dollars of debt and the whole dang world knows this.
This whole money grab is crazy to watch.
I can’t help but wonder…. Are they funneling money into crypto digital assets because our current monetary system is expected to collapse?
"No way can we the people pay off 36 trillion dollars of debt..."
Especially when they're laboring under 150 trillion (give or take a few trill) of private debt as well.
What a circus! Like a madhouse for apes or something.
That debt is about to hit $39 trillion in early 2026. Crypto assets are not real as they disappear when the power goes out.
No point blaming oligarchs.
The responsibility lies squarely with everyone of moderate intelligence or above, who embarks on personal enrichment with unbridled ambition.
Anyone who invests, to make money from money; that is cheating someone, somewhere.
Investment in local community is a million times better and infinitely more intelligent.
"The responsibility lies squarely with everyone of moderate intelligence or above, who embarks on personal enrichment with unbridled ambition."
Does that mean that oligarchs should be off the hook because their IQs are all below 98 or because3 none of them are guilty of embarking on personal enrichment with unbridled ambition, or what?
For everyone's info, it is both right to blame the oligarchs and at the same time to blame everyone else, including ourselves, who enables the unbridled pursuit of ambition and much more.
Dr. Nass, shame on you for "liking" the comment.

Who owns Substack Inc.?
• Founders:
– Chris Best (Co-founder and CEO)

(from ChatGPT, if you can trust it!!)
Ownership is being slowly transferred to the anti-free speech leftists.
I am unable to post my US smart city post.
GRRR. I will post another.

Yes 2026 could be the year critical mass is reached to overcome the status quo. Just a feeling or a sense. People are fed up and see no solutions coming from either major party.
It would also be good if Substack allowed "Dislikes" as well as "Likes".
I believe most Substack readers are mature enough to handle to "hurty dislikes"?
2016 will be turbulent, but I am very optimistic for 2027.
Those who have lost their moral compass will be sitting in the back if the bus soon enough.
This link says "page not found". Has Substack removed it?

No, the link is just truncated. This should work:

Click Meryl's link; below "page not found", scroll down to September 2025 and the first post listed should be "Substack Ownership". It worked for me.
