Paul English Live 191825 Live Pound, Power, and the Price of Money: Unmasking the Real War of the 20th Century

In this rollicking live broadcast, I open with some tech hiccups, shout-outs across multiple platforms, and then dive into a big theme: the economic “miracle” of Germany from 1933–1942 and why monetary sovereignty matters. Using a dynamic GDP chart as a spine, we walk year-by-year through Germany’s rapid rise, contrasting Weimar hyperinflation with National Socialist credit issuance, barter mechanisms, and full-employment public works—while emphasizing that these points are about finance, not endorsing wartime atrocities. We reference Ezra Pound’s anti-usury stance and radio addresses, Archibald Maule Ramsay’s “Nameless War,” the Rakovsky interrogation, and quotes from Gailey Simpson and Frederick Soddy, to argue that control of money creation—not gold—drives national prosperity and political power. We also play sharp clips (Godfrey Bloom and Liz Truss) illustrating how central banks and unaccountable bureaucracies outrank elected leaders. Callers join to share first-hand family accounts (liberation-era experiences, Bergen-Belsen narratives, Libyan students funded under Gaddafi), and we discuss why mass persuasion on banking is so hard—the psychology of group belief, propaganda, and the demoralization strategies described by Bezmenov. We contrast spectacle-driven activism with structural reform, brainstorm local parish-level organizing, non-voting as protest, and the Bank of North Dakota model, and float a new Saturday multi-guest show to broaden reach. The throughline: end usury, restore honest money, reject spectacle politics, and build practical, local, and resilient networks that can resist digital control and reclaim economic life for real people.
