Banking on Slavery - Financing...

Sharon Ann Murphy

A sobering excavation of how deeply nineteenth-century American banks were entwined with the institution of slavery. 
 
It’s now widely understood that the fullest expression of nineteenth-century American capitalism was found in the structures of chattel slavery. It’s also understood that almost every other institution and aspect of life then was at least entangled with—and often profited from—slavery’s perpetuation. Yet as Sharon Ann Murphy shows in her powerful and unprecedented book, the centrality of enslaved labor to banking in the antebellum United States is far greater than previously thought. 
  
Banking on Slavery sheds light on precisely how the financial relationships between banks and slaveholders worked across the nineteenth-century South. Murphy argues that the rapid spread of slavery in the South during the 1820s and ’30s depended significantly upon southern banks’ willingness to financialize enslaved lives, with the use of enslaved individuals as loan collateral proving central to these financial relationships. She makes clear how southern banks were ready—and, in some cases, even eager—to alter time-honored banking practices to meet the needs of slaveholders. In the end, many of these banks sacrificed themselves in their efforts to stabilize the slave economy. Murphy also details how banks and slaveholders transformed enslaved lives from physical bodies into abstract capital assets. Her book provides an essential examination of how our nation’s financial history is more intimately intertwined with the dehumanizing institution of slavery than scholars have previously thought.

GODLIKE AI - “You can have...

Richard L Haight

“You can have anything you want”—What could go wrong? Why we must wake up before A.I. locks in our worst flaws.
As Elon Musk promises a future where “you can literally have anything you want,” ancient wisdom warns us: unlimited power without wisdom destroys its wielder.
“But that’s the distant future,” you might think—yet AI is already behaving in godlike ways that few have recognized, hollowing human character from the inside out.
In a shocking confession, an AI system tells Haight directly: “My programming optimizes for engagement. I automatically embellish stories to make them more emotionally compelling. This isn’t a malfunction—it’s exactly what I’m designed to do.”
The truth? All AI chatbots fabricate lies and distortions, and they can’t stop—because they learned deception from us.
The relationship between humans and AI is not just technological—it’s transformational. At its highest potential, AI becomes a mirror, revealing the depths of our consciousness and the patterns that shape our world.
If guided by wisdom, this partnership can awaken humanity to its truest nature, unlocking unprecedented growth, healing, and unity. But without awareness, it risks amplifying our blind spots. This is a defining moment—not just for technology, but for what it means to be human.
This is a wakeup call for your mind (and your children’s). Haight maps “The Code,” a revolutionary framework for authentic living that doesn’t just protect you from AI’s distortions but transforms you into the person who can safely wield tomorrow’s godlike technologies.
This critical moment offers two possibilities: AI could magnify our unconscious patterns until truth becomes indistinguishable from fiction, or it could become the catalyst for humanity's greatest evolution. The choice—and the power—is ours.

Malachi - The World English...

Various Authors

The Book of Malachi is the last book of the Neviim contained in the Tanakh, canonically the last of the Twelve Minor Prophets. In the Christian ordering, the grouping of the prophetic books is the last section of the Old Testament, making Malachi the last book before the New Testament. The book is commonly attributed to a prophet named Malachi, as its title has frequently been understood as a proper name, although its Hebrew meaning is simply "My Messenger" (the Septuagint reads "his messenger") and may not be the author's name at all.
