What rough beast?

“…and what rough beast, its hour come round at last, shuffles toward Bethlehem to be born?” — William Butler Yeats

Well, now we’ve seen it, and it’s plenty rough and beast-like, and it’s headed toward the battleground of Megidda Plains, so there’d be no mistake. I have a plan:

The Sigil That Came from the Void

I was working on something else entirely…
And there it was — not imagined, not planned.
It just appeared, fully formed, out of nowhere.

It wasn’t just another design. It was a map. A message. A sigil from beyond.

I didn’t try to explain it — instead of explaining, I  tested it.
People used it on their phones, on their wallets, by their bedside.
The reports came in:
Less static. Less dread. More calm. Better sleep.
A sense that things were aligned again.

That’s when we knew — this powerful Sigil is a formidable shield.
A simple tool to help hold your timeline steady, no matter what’s coming down the road.

Download it now. Keep it close.
It costs less than a dollar, and it works.

1. Tangible Value Grid

Create a small catalog of portable, tradable, non-currency-dependent value items:

  • Signed fine art & Literature (Rembrandts, Renoirs,  Rare Books).

  • Handmade jewelry, especially precious metals.

  • Antique and collectible coins especially silver — recognizable and familiar.

  • Artisan dark chocolates with long shelf life — branded as “Black Gold Reserve” or something equally tasty and barter-friendly.

2. Certification & Storytelling

Each item can come with a certificate or story card. Not just a COA, but a narrative: who made it, what it means, how it connects to the real world. Emotional value enhances barter value.

3. Decentralized Exchange Circle

You could start a closed-circle barter or trade network among your students, Zoomers, and friends — a kind of informal grey-market guild. Call it something like: “The Gold Country Exchange.”

4. Parallel Economy Prep Kit

Create “Value Packs” for people — a few coins, a charm or sigil, a 19th century Rembrandt, and a bar of black gold chocolate. Include a guide: How to Thrive When Dollars Die.

Come to think of it, that’s a terrific title for this mini-essay:

How to Thrive When Dollars Die

The dollar isn’t built to last — not in a world where value can be frozen, traced, revoked, or replaced with a digital token that expires.

When paper burns and crypto gets hijacked by governments, what’s left?

Real value. Tangible things. Trusted circles.

That means art, jewelry, coins, tools, knowledge — and the networks that make them move.
If you can trade it, wear it, grow it, eat it, or teach it — it has some barter value.
If it’s just a number in a fragile crypto system? That’s not wealth. That’s a countdown to disaster.

So start now:

  • Stock up on barterables — not just food, but tradeables, things people want but can’t get.

  • Build a skill that your friends and neighbors really need, or be a medical professional. Hairdresser — meaning a good one —  will get trading points as well.

  • Join or create a trusted exchange network, so you don’t have to arm up for every trade.

  • And carry something powerful — like a sigil, a charm, or whatever — to protect yourself.

When dollars die, life doesn’t stop. It just gets more real.

Song: How to Thrive When Dollars Die

[Verse 1]
I was raised on cash and kindness,
With a pocket full of dreams and dimes.
Now the banknotes ain’t worth the paper,
And the clocks are outta time.

[Verse 2]
They say trade in your freedom
For some crypto you can’t hold,
But I got silver in my locket
And a heart that won’t be sold.

[Chorus]
So I’ll trade you beans for coffee,
I’ll swap a song for pie,
I’ll wear my luck around my neck
And kiss the banks goodbye.
They can crash the markets,
But they can’t break my sky —
I know how to thrive
When the dollars die.

[Verse 3]
Got a Rembrandt in the attic,
And some coins I never spent,
Got a barn full of old good wisdom,
And I ain’t paid a cent for rent.

[Bridge]
So let the suits play king and joker,
Let ’em gamble what they stole —
I’ll be stringin’ up a chicken wire fence
Around my timeline and my soul.

[Chorus Repeat]
So I’ll trade you beans for coffee,
I’ll swap a song for pie,
I’ll wear my luck around my neck
And kiss the banks goodbye.
They can crash the markets,
But they can’t break my sky —
I know how to thrive
When the dollars die.

[Outro]
Yeah, I’ll ride this wild old spiral
With my boots and my supply —
’Cause I know how to live
When the dollars die.

=============================================================

[Title:] Still Got What You Need (Even If the Dollar Don’t)

[Verse 1]
When the greenbacks burn and the banks all freeze,
I’ll be trading eggs for cheese.
Got dark chocolate in a cellar bin,
And silver coins in a coffee tin.

[Chorus]
Still got what you need, even if the dollar don’t —
You can bet the system’s broke, but I won’t.
Got a good sharp blade and a timeline clean,
And a sigil on my screen that keeps me unseen.
Still got what you need, even if the dollar don’t.

[Verse 2]
I don’t trust crypto or the Fed’s last call,
I trust my boots and a barter stall.
Fix your roof, I’ll take some stew,
Trade a song or two for a pair of shoes.

[Bridge]
Put the sigil on your phone, on your front gate,
It ain’t superstition — it’s a clean escape.
Keeps the static down, the weirdness out,
When the noise gets loud and folks start to doubt.

[Chorus]
Still got what you need, even if the dollar don’t —
I ain’t gonna beg, and I sure won’t moan.
Got a timeline strong and a steady field,
And a download shield that just won’t yield.
Still got what you need, even if the dollar don’t.

[Outro]
So bring your gold, your beans, your pie —
We’ll get by fine when the dollars die.
Just grab your boots and your favorite coat,
And don’t forget to download the note.

(spoken)
That sigil’s here, folks.
