#0 Gordon Comstock reading The Babylonian Woe

After E. C. Riegel's works, perhaps one of the most important is The Babylonian Woe (1975) by the independent Canadian researcher David Astle. Though this is a difficult read, and difficult to hear perhaps too, nevertheless its study is most rewarding as nowhere else does one get the straight facts concerning the ancient linkage between banking and the military industrial complex. This was always the primary power connection. We gratefully acknowledge the contribution made by one Gordon Comstock (of course, this might not be his real name because Gordon Comstock is the main character in George Orwell's novel of social criticism, Keep the Aspidistra Flying (1936)). Whomever, he gets off the track and ends thinking that he has done 13 episodes when there are only 12. Oh well.

Current Value of Proposed Valun

V1 = $2.89
7 May, 2021

$2.59 at 22nd Valun inception 6 August, 2020. The lowest price a proposed international standard value unit or Valun will ever trade in US dollars. If this 22nd inception point is exceeded by a rise in the price of gold in dollars, a 23rd inception point is chosen, always higher, never lower. In this way the Valun maintains and builds its purchasing power. Details in this blog.

Valuns are proposed as alternative currency, not "buy and hold" investments.

NOTE 4/25/21: For about the last week we have observed delays in reporting and closes when they come that seem to attempt to short the markets on gold and silver. Though this does go on all the time, the past week's performances have seemed manipulated. When or if this subsides, this note will be removed. We'll then resume the usual times posted for market daily closes.

SPECIAL NOTE: Each change in the Valun price is updated by hand. Between 5/10/21 and 5/24/21 regular Valun updates will not take place and will resume after that date.
