Excellent broad analysis. IMO there is one thing more we need to do that should make most Iranians more cordial despite the war and that we didn’t do when the USSR became Russia back in the 80’s, and that is, after we’ve won the war, is to offer The Marshall Plan, nay an uber Marshall Plan to Iranians. And how do we do that? We implement a single policy that changes the current human civilization-long monetary paradigm where virtually all new money is created ONLY AS DEBT, and that policy is a 50+% Discount/Rebate policy at the various points of retail sale in the economy. That way everyone can buy $100 worth of groceries for $50, buy a $50k automobile for $25k and a $500k house for $250k…and yet with the rebate aspect of the policy the merchant in every instance gets their full price for the product or service. Voila! Everyone’s purchasing power is doubled, chronic erosive inflation is transformed into beneficial price and asset deflation and in Iranian’s point of view your worst enemy has become your best friend. Toss in that this single policy is the gretaest opportunity to self actualize gratitude for a gift since meditation and prayer. There’s an entire policy program in my book that rounds out and stabilizes the new monetary paradigm here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C49B9PX7

Why The 50+% Discount/Rebate At Retail Sale Is A Trinity/Signature Of Every Historical Paradigm Change

Because it resolves the normal conflict of interest between merchant and consumer into a synthesis/Thirdness Greater Oneness Solution that benefits both equally. How? By mathematically doubling the potential purchasing power of every consumer while simutaneously doubling the potential demand for every merchant’s goods and services. In other words its “all good”…for every agent (except perhaps for monopoly enterprise, although they’ll benefit by the increased demand also…even though they’ll have to give up their dominating control…which is actually a benefit because transitioning from the out-ethic state of domination to competitive and yet genuinely of good will toward the consumer…is probably the greatest benefit. Just ask the Roman Catholic Church which benefitted thusly after The Protestant Reformation.

The Only Thing Worse Than Capital Controls…

…is the chaos and instability of no capital controls. And that is what the combination of Laissez Faire “Free” Market Theoretics and private finance’s monopoly paradigm for the creation and distribution of all new money, namely Debt Only, creates and re-inforces.

Life In The Temporal Universe Is…

…an ever present, addictive opportunity to strengthen abstraction and avoid direct looking/experiencing, and hence a trap to distract one from Wisdom and the life changing fruits of spirituality. Its Duality/Problems/Separateness and their diminishing returns when Wisdom/Trinity/Thirdness Greater Oneness/Solutions and Life Long Vibrancy Moment to Moment are possible with the decision to look inwardly and most especially outwardly until you SEE…like you did as a child who wasn’t yet addicted to words and whose life was a stream of direct experience.

There IS An Alternative To Issuing Bonds/Debt To Fund Government Deficits, And It Resolves Inflation and Individual and Commercial Monetary Austerity As Well

And that alternative is breaking up the monopoly monetary paradigm wielded by the private banking system which is that all new money can ONLY BE CREATED AS DEBT... and this is accomplished by one policy which is a 50+% Discount at retail sale all of which discount is rebated back to the merchant granting it to the consumer by the nation’s central bank which is the ultimate monetary authority and entity...because it can create money and yet doesn’t have to pay anyone back. That is what happened back in 2008 when the FED bailed out the banks by buying up all of their worthless derivative products at par and just held them on their books.

And the rest of the policy program of the new monetary paradigm of Strategic Monetary Gifting prevents bad actors from gaming and partially destabilizing that new paradigm.

Realizing that Panentheism is the cosmic reality is a several orders of magnitude broader and deeper personal experience than meeting “a tall white” or seeing a plasma orb do 180’s. Your analysis is serendipitous because it suggests that the alien/UFO/UAP phenomenon may be what begins a deeper experience and understanding of ourselves and of the cosmos.
