PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #127 · Wonky Carrots and Peasant Money: Reclaiming Sovereignty from the Ground Up

About this episode

Paul English discusses money sovereignty and local organization with guests Eric Von Essex and Gary Glendale.

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com In this wide‑ranging live show, I kick off with lighter nights, AI artwork and a hot‑air detour before settling into a spirited hour with Eric Von Essex and returning guest Gary Glendale. We trade stories from airships to “dropping a clanger,” the madness of modern bureaucracy and subscription cars, and the week’s polls on government and global threats. We also wade into difficult territory: media distractions, the Epstein files, child protection failures, and how fear and propaganda fracture communities. Hour two turns to money, power and food sovereignty. Gary unpacks the difference between money and currency, why usury and debt underpin control, and how a practical, low‑fee, peer‑to‑peer payments rail can help farmers and locals trade directly—my “wonky carrots” test. We touch on gold myths, WWII history, and play thought‑provoking clips (Michael Hudson, The International, Godfrey Bloom). The upshot: organise locally, build parallel exchange, and keep your sense of humour while we do it.
