Has anyone bother to ask Prof Jeff Sachs of Colombia Uni who was made head of a multi year “Lancet Investigation” why he did NOT know that his Lancet Team “researching COVID lab leak in Wuhan” included those who ran EcoHealth Alliance for years? 🤷‍♀️ Took me 5 min on my phone 🤔

10 MOST EMBARRASSING HEADLINES IN THE BIOLABS SCANDAL The world was told repeatedly that no US biolabs existed in Ukraine—such claims were “disinformation” from Russia, China, and from right-leaning people in the US. That's what NBC, BBC, AFP, AP and others told the planet repeatedly. But this week, US spy chief Tulsi Gabbard admitted that there WERE biolabs in Ukraine and elsewhere, they WERE US-funded, and they WERE experimenting with deadly viruses like ebola and sars. Russia, China, and the US rightwingers had been right all along. Also, as it became apparent that they existed, many media companies switched to a highly imaginative narrative saying that the Pentagon was funding overseas biolabs experimenting on killer viruses for “peace and health” reasons. Because everyone knows that the Pentagon is all about peace and health, right? (sarcasm alert) Check out these 10 headlines that media companies are surely praying have been forgotten!

Carl Menger's barter story is one of the most successful myths in economics. The problem is not that it is theoretically possible. The problem is that there is little historical or anthropological evidence that societies actually developed money this way. As David Graeber pointed out, anthropologists spent more than a century searching for examples of economies organized around pure barter and repeatedly came up empty. What they found instead were systems of credit, debt, obligation, and social accounting. People kept track of who owed what long before coins or commodity money became widespread. The familiar story of a blacksmith searching for a farmer who wants horseshoes is largely a thought experiment. Real communities were not collections of strangers conducting spot transactions. They were networks of ongoing social relationships where obligations could be recorded and settled over time. Historically, money often emerged alongside institutions capable of measuring and enforcing debts. Temples, palaces, kingdoms, and states maintained accounts, levied taxes, and denominated obligations in units of account long before everyday markets were dominated by coinage. Coinage itself was frequently linked to states paying soldiers and then demanding taxes in the same currency. This created demand for money not because markets spontaneously selected it, but because political authorities structured the monetary system around it. The historical record suggests that credit came first, coinage came later, and barter usually appears at the margins when monetary systems break down, not at the beginning of economic history. The real myth is not that states played a role in the development of money. The real myth is that money emerged from a world of isolated traders solving the double coincidence of wants problem through spontaneous market evolution alone.

Bloomberg is owned by the world's 18th richest man. Billionaires emit more carbon in one hour than a poor person does in a lifetime. This is propaganda.
