On this lively episode of Paul English Live (Episode 127), we kick off with banter about lighter evenings, hot‑air balloons, and Cardington’s historic airship sheds before diving into the week’s bigger currents: creeping bureaucracy, car subscriptions, and why so many feel the state has become the enemy of the people. We untangle the origins of sayings like “dropping a clanger,” wander through Isaac Newton’s anti‑coin‑clipping reforms, and reflect on how propaganda, fear and compliance reshaped public life from COVID to climate narratives. In hour two, returning guest Gary Glendale brings the heat on money vs. currency, the case for using Bitcoin SV as a common people’s money, and why local trade (our “wonky carrot economy”) can rebuild sovereignty from the ground up. We touch Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights and the Metric Martyrs ruling; Pearl Harbor and gold intrigues; Michael Hudson’s dismantling of IMF/World Bank debt traps; and the film The International’s blunt lesson about banks controlling debt—not just conflicts. We close with a call to practical action: connect, coordinate, and start transacting peer‑to‑peer. 'Michael Hudson (official site)': https://michael-hudson.com 'John Perkins — Confessions of an Economic Hitman (author site)': https://johnperkins.org 'The International (2009 film) — IMDb': https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0963178/ 'Bank for International Settlements (BIS)': https://www.bis.org 'NEXUS Magazine (official)': https://nexusmagazine.com 'Craig S.
