Todd .... The Last Post

Shiree from Foxton Beach

Hi, I've managed to catch up with Todd and have shared my Neighbourly with him so he could have a read. I have also had a read of his post. Wow, I think Todd sees things in black in white, it either is or it isn't, fact or fiction. No grey areas. I think on reading his post, I understand why Neighbourly had it removed and so does Todd, not so much in having his account closed down but is determined not to let unfortunate misfortunes chew away on positive energies. He was saying that, and not having FB etc, he will miss the community connection of belonging to something. I have agreed to let him write a response, and will type this out as he has written in his own words.

Hi Neighbours,
Todd here,

Firstly I would like to thank Shiree for this opportunity and John Beattie for putting up a post in support. I had no expectation of that and so I appreciate it. Thanks for everyone who has passed comment. I have had a read and I think what Shiree mentioned about reading a news paper and ignoring the rest of no interest, was kind of cool. Shirees a clever and wonderful woman among the many great Neighbours we have out there.

My wish is that no one holds any animosity towards the Neighbourly team, leads, not just in this instance but with other things that happen as well.. As I mentioned in an email to the Neighbourly Team, I understand and it is their decision.

I am sorry that the post is unable to be viewed as the research undertaken was extremely extensive and long. Reading the comments, I have concluded that no one
actually viewed the post, it had no comments attached etc and lasted a little past an
hour, disappearing when I was fine tuning an editor overlay.

I won't go into to much detail as to what the post was actually about with the exception of a few things. The post was about the President of the United States Donald Trump. I wanted to write something positive about the president highlighting many of his achievements. Achievements some of which have already transcended into New Zealand, a drop in gas of more than a dollar a litre at the pump over past recent months can be attributed to Trump for example. The reason why I wrote this post is because I have become disillusioned with stories that are published main stream. Its not the local news as per say, but many of these opinion articles that are regurgitated around the world from other countries, some out of Yale and from fine institutions for example, not very well written, extremely distasteful, and full of misinformation. Its out of control to be honest about it. When you research into the background of some of these individuals who write these stories, one can discover very unusual disconnects and irrational behaviors, not all authors and not all stories. So I wanted to write something positive, give people another perspective, instead of all this hatred and misinformation. Having had many conversations revolving around Trump when out there talking with people, the consensus is very interesting and repeated by all, that they don't really know why they feel the way they do about Donald Trump, and then point towards the media. Some say he's a liar, lies about everything and its a long list, but can't put a finger on one lie on a long list. What has he lied about exactly? Personally, I haven't found one thing yet. I didn't write this post because I like Donald Trump, or anything like that, I wrote this post because of what he has done, his achievements. I wrote it because Donald Trump is a human being, just like you and I, but as the President of the United States, he deserves the utmost respect as the President of United States ..... Anything short of that, particularly misinformation and irrational hatred is a disgrace to be honest.

But its happening, and I think the only way things can really change, is a move away from all this emotional irrationality. If this doesn't come to pass, perhaps it could be the lack of funding that helps with changing things, funding drying up. Funding is liquidity, no liquidity, no funding.

For those that are interested, briefly, this is what happened to the post. I touch on emotional irrationality in the post but even then I'm not immune. On seeing my post disappear before my eyes and without even realizing what had happened, a momentary lapse of reason had me copy and paste the found Neighbourly infringement ticket into a new post advising everyone of the post removal. Silly me posted as an "emergency alert" . This also quickly disappeared before my eyes, further infringing upon my emotional irrationally, where I wrote a new post, but this time attached it to the reply of many members posts.

I would like to apologize to all members whom may have been offended by this and also, more importantly, am sorry to the Neighbourly team, for posting on an "emergency alert" that is designated solely for that purpose, an emergency.. This resulted in Neighbourly closing down my account for spamming the platform, and I guess, for not adhering to a harmonious rationality. Neighbourly has every right to remove my account and its their decision. Although I respect their decision, having been a member on here for a while, and being witness to a great many things that do not fit in with their model of a community based platform, including spamming, I do feel therefore that I have been singled out and certainly believe there's an issue where protocol can be used to preside over wrong think and wrong thought.

As for the post itself, well its in the hands of Neighbourly and gosh knows who else for that matter. Sure, I could have others post it on other platforms, share it about, email it around. I even have the intention of emailing the White House when i get the chance, not with the post (unless requested) but out of respect, recognition and thanks. I could do all of these things, but what would be even more worthwhile and satisfying, is to have a scholar, historian, economist, or journalist from the media, take and examine the information written, do some due diligence, some "fact checking", and write and publish something that is meaningful and truthful, you know, something positive and inspiring for a change. Its not hard. Interesting, a new research study has been released recently. The study is claiming that it is the 50 and over 50 year olds that are responsible for spreading fake news and all the hatred. Its the most ridiculous thing I've ever come across but you know, people actually believe this trash and so if your over 50 years of age out there, its your fault.

This is exactly what happened between myself, Neighbourly, and the events leading unto having my account closed down. Straight from the horses mouth. No conspiracy here.

I know that some people may have chosen to simply ignore my writings over the duration, and that's fine, the economy and monetary matters may not be of interest. That being said, like it or not, we all play a 100% role in the economy, every person, every household, every business, everyone is on 100% participation, however and sure, we can choose to ignore posts, we can choose to ignore anything we like of non-interest, and for any reasons of our choosing, although and as part of the 100 percents, its not going to be as easy to simply ignore the changing, precarious, and challenging times we are now finding our selves in. I think informing the public about the economy and economic shifts is incredibly important. You, and I, everyone, we're all part of it, we're all involved. As I am no longer able to take a paint brush to the economy, and advise the communities with valuable and important information on the Neighbourly platform, I am confident that Neighbourly as a gesture and in good faith, will allow me to go out with grace, and so I have compiled a few further things and squeezed them in.

I do hope that some things mentioned in posts over the past couple of years or so has actually been helpful and that you have taken actions. like placing low denomination currency aside for example, low denomination gives you divisibility. Very Important. I think this is incredibly important, not just in the event of economic disruptions, but in any emergency. Having physical currency on hand in the event of disruptions and emergencies. Very important in protecting yourselves and family, because and just like Civil Defense promoting the importance of emergency kits, preparedness and bug out bags, we also need financial protection as well ......100% your families safety kit, in the event of financial emergencies. If for whatever reason, the grid (power) goes down, you need currency, so it makes sense to be prepared for the unexpected, in all aspects that we possibly can.

For business owners, financial pundits, the experts and economists.
There is so much left unwritten, I will drop a few things to wrap-up.
Although in my own words, the following is circulating within financial circles, and if researched, is released as official public information under the freedoms of the information act.

Central Banks have expressed serious concerns about the next financial crises and are very nervous with what Donald Trump and the Federal Reserve is doing. I see that March 2019, is key date on a time-line. Keeping a watchful eye on what the Federal Reserve is doing, their actions, and the raising of interest rates, will be crucial. The central banks have surprisingly very little (big little) in their arsenal. Their tool kit consisting of their balance sheets, a hold on exchange rates, interest rates, and the economic data. Also in their tool kit, is the ability to bring currency into existence and create Inflation. The one and only thing that central banks do not have a hold on, and its like the last frontier of the wild west, is what people do or don't do with their currency. In my opinion and where I see things as they currently stand in real time, is that the central banks have done everything they possibly can to re-position themselves and prepare, amidst the unwinding their balance sheets at the same time. Now having stripped their tool bag of all ammunition where I believe, they only have one thing left, and that's creating new currency and inflation. If areas in which to place inflation become exhausted, they could actually buy everyone a new home and store inflation that way (pipe dreams) or they could just simply monetize it and place it on the world, and into the peoples economy. If something like this happens, well I have mixed feelings as to whether this will manifest this way. But they have done this before, our economy is almost identical to how it was in around the late 1920's, before the market crash of 1929. There was massive deflation, people were trying to sell stuff with no buyers and so dropping their prices cheaper and cheaper to compensate. Because of huge shortages of currency in circulation, the economies were starving of currency, people struggled, business struggled, and all because instead of creating currency into circulation to help the struggling citizens, currency was siphoned out from the economies. (currency retraction) How do you extract currency out from the economy? Banks announcing huge profits for one. Massive profits. But the profits were taken from currency that didn't exist in the currency pool. It didn't exist because things like interest, fees, penalties etc, were never created as currency in the first place (loaned into existence) The profits drained out from the New Zealand economy had to be found by you and I, over and above the currency created in the first place. A dollar loaned and a dollar paid down cancels each other out, but if never created as a loan in the first place, it doesn't exist to cancel out. The effect of this is Deflation. Deflation has been apparent in the NZ economy for a very long time, Sales, Discounts, businesses soaking up the austerity, dropping prices, not for profit but just to keep business afloat and people employed. Deflation is continuing and we're now seeing it with cooling in housing, houses on the markets for longer periods of time, buyers drying up (liquidity) and so dropping the prices giving the vendor an edge. Some people may disagree with this because of where valuations are currently paused. That's fine, watch the housing space. Like Inflation, Deflation can circum a great many things barely noticeable. I never thought I would see the day where Inflation and Deflation could co-exist at the same time. Deflation in the peoples economy, and Inflation in the "other economy. Coming into the early thirties, what they did was a switch-a-roo, instead of retracting currency from the economy, they turned on the printing presses, day and night, created massive amounts of new currency, loaned it into the economies, switched up interest rates, and so instead of starving the economy of currency, it was instead drowned with the stuff. The consequence of this action resulted in massive inflation, from deflation to inflation, and it resulted in what we all know today as the Great Depression.
Although things are different today as they were back then, the consequences are still the same, and if my apotheosis is correct, where central banks have used up all their ammunition, the tool of last resort will not be good for our world. One thing is certain, never before have the central banks come out and admit to anything, ever. Never before have they talked up financial calamities and published warnings like they have been. The Fed, The BIS, World bank and IMF, they have all been doing this. Their publishing's particularly over the past 2 years, have been extraordinary. Never before have we seen a large number of banking institutions under investigation, like raids on the Deutsche Bank for example, nor have we seen the massive resignations taking place, the premature exiting from prominent positions, and never before have we seen the level of arrests and the prosecution of individuals having participated in injustices. This is real news folks and yah just can't make this stuff up.



I'm hearing a lot lately about being on the right side of history. What does this even mean if it is not shared what being on the right-side of history even means? In my opinion, if being on the right side of history has anything to do with what the world has endured over the past 100 years or so, then who ever coined this narrative needs to be more transparent, instead of all this sneaking around and secret squirrel.
Other important things I believe could be helpful for business owners, my writings are now limited, so not much more I can squeeze in however, as a final stretch and like how gst is passed down, like pass the parcel to the end user, Delinquency is also passed down like pass the parcel to the end user, effecting everyone along the way ...... with Delinquency issues. There is no way to actually prevent this from happening because Delinquency is a direct consequence of Liquidity issues, and Liquidity issues are a direct consequence of banking policies. What we can do though, is try and slow it down, perhaps lesson the impact. This may mean adopting a tough Love attitude and implementing added protections, this could mean re-visiting your pay terms with your clients. Of course everyone will need to adjust to shifting economic climates, one way or the other, but the thing is to be prepared. And this is no different to Civil Defenses emergency preparedness awareness, the awareness of being prepared economically, is something that every single person will be unable to ignore, 100%. And is my reasons for posting.

Thanks to the Neighbourly team and again, apologize for any inconvenience or duress. I appreciate that perhaps, its not the points of fact but my own opinions that land me in the pooh. In saying that, I have had this in mind when writing this post, with absolutely nothing that is malice towards any group or person and the information is freely available under the freedoms of the Information Act.

thanks so much,
I wish the best for all,
thanks for the support,
blessings.
