This is a bonus episode. I went off script to highlight some of the evil that we are seeing in the world today and to offer a solution to help build a more beautiful and just future.
If you like this format, let me know by subscribing or commenting. Either way, we will continue with weekly monologues every Tuesday on the thesis that Hard Money allows us to express love to the world beyond our own homes and families.
There is darkness in the world, but there is also light. Choose the light.

Good morning everyone. My name is Brian and this is Love and Hard Money. I guess this is episode three. Uh, I wasn't really planning on doing this. This podcast is intended to be a, , scripted monologue show, where I kind of tease out gently the thesis that I have that using hard money as a way to express love to the world, to empower other people to be their best selves and to bring more, more love, more light into the world.
This episode, I'm going off script. , I've, I've got nothing written down. I just sat down and hit record. . And I don't know, maybe I'm torpedoing this whole project by doing this, , but I'm mad. I'm mad as hell today. I'm pissed off. , And I want to talk about it. I'm, I'm looking at what's happening with Epstein right now, and I'm seeing a pattern and I don't like it.
We went through COVID and. Allowed it to happen when it came to an end and it became clear that, COVID did not evolve in a wet market. , That there was a lot of, nefarious behavior from elites, government, wealthy people, that the vaccines were not safe and effective. When all of that came to light.
We just moved on. We all moved on, we went back to work. We went on with our lives and no one has paid a price for frankly, the millions of people who died and many, many more who were injured by vaccines or, had their childhoods taken away by being locked down when they should have been at school with their friends.
It was disgusting and we let it happen. Nine 11, this one's gonna be controversial. I don't care. Building seven, world Trade Center, building seven was not hit by an airplane. It had no physical damage. Building seven was the third building in New York City that collapsed at free fall speed into its own footprint.
On the morning of September 11th,
we did nothing about it. I'm not saying I know what happened on September 11th, but I will say the story we've been told is bullshit and we're doing nothing about it. Americans died that day. It was used as justification to start wars in the Middle East that cost trillions of dollars, that put debt on our balance sheet that our great-grandchildren will be paying off, and we did nothing about it.
There are so many examples of this. 2008, the banks got bailed out. You lost your house. . Go, go back and read the Creature from Jekyll Island. This is not, this is not a new phenomenon. Evil didn't suddenly emerge into the world in 1971. It's been going on for generations and we are doing nothing about it.
And I'm pissed off and I want you guys to hear this. It's time for us to do something about it. I believe that Bitcoin is a solution to this, and here's why. These wealthy people, these monsters who are, uh, I, I, I don't even know the word for it, ruining children's lives down on Epstein Island. Um, and, and all the people who are.
Complicit, even if they're not involved in, in covering this up and allowing it to happen. , They are in positions of power and the reason that they're in positions of power is because they have access to a money printer, whether they work for the Federal Reserve or the Treasury or a Wall Street Bank.
Or run a big corporation that gets access to capital from those Wall Street banks. All of these people have one thing in common. They benefit from the canon effect. They're close to the source of power, and that power has clearly corrupted them, and their corruption is corrupting our world and we are doing nothing about it.
And I, I don't know what to tell you to do other than starve them of their energy. , Every dollar that you leave in the system feeds them. Every stock that you own, I don't care if it's Amazon or a gold mining stock, those are traded through their trading houses.
Those are controlled by their banks, they benefit from them, and all of that goes to keep them in a tier above us. And then because of that, they are immune from the laws and the general human civility that we expect of each other. We sit back and we wait for the Department of Justice to file charges against Bill Gates or anyone from the Epstein list.
Literally anyone. And it's not happening. And you know why? Because those people work for the people on the Epstein list. Some of them are the people on the Epstein list. The Department of Justice is not going to solve this. The courts, the judges, gimme a break. They're not solving this for us. We have to solve this, and it's not enough to march in the streets and riot.
That's not going to change the world. We need to take. A Buckminster Fuller approach, and we need to create new systems that make the old systems irrelevant, and then we need to move all of our energy and all of our time into those systems. We starve them by taking away their power. And their power is rooted in money.
And Bitcoin is decentralized. No one controls it. Okay. When you hold your keys, you own your money. It's not in their bank. It's not re ated, it's yours.
So I'm off script here and , I'm not sure what else I wanna say, but I believe that people are good. And that when allowed to interact with each other freely, we can create a much more beautiful world than we live in today. But all of us are transacting daily in a currency built on lies that is corrupted to its utter core, and we have to stop.
We have to stop using their money and we have to start building the world that we wanna see. I guess that's it for today. I'm not sure if I'm gonna publish this one or not, but, I needed to get it off my back and, uh, let me know what you think. I will get back on track with my regular monologues on the next episode.
But every once in a while a guy needs to rant. Thanks for listening.
