That Dollar In Your Pocket Doesn’t Mean What You Think It Means

This morning, our conversation with guest Dr. Eric Snyder was EYE-OPENING! So much to talk about. In fact, I had all intentions of having this blog up before 3pm today, until I started going down conspiracy theory rabbit holes as follow-up to our discussion.

Dr. Snyder has his Ph.D. in Educational Policy from the University of Kentucky and has been a professor at OU and worked at a private school in Norman. He’s no slouch. In fact, you have to watch the entire video (here on YouTube and Rumble) to hear what he has to say. I warn you, however, you may have to play and replay to really think on the things he’s saying.

Suffice it to say, the dollar bill you have in your pocket is virtually meaningless. It’s not tied to any actual commodity (something like oil, gas, gold, silver, copper, etc.), which gives it the term ‘fiat’. Here’s what Investopedia says about ‘Fiat’ currency:

Key Takeaways

Fiat money is a government-issued currency that is not backed by a commodity such as gold.
Fiat money gives central banks greater control over the economy because they can control how much money is printed.
Most modern paper currencies, such as the U.S. dollar, are fiat currencies.
One danger of fiat money is that governments can print too much of it, resulting in hyperinflation.

YIKES. Not a whole lot to feel comfortable about when you really think about it.

Over the many years in this country, we have had a whole lot of monetary policy and arguments about a central bank (The Fed). In fact, we’ve had two other central banks before The Fed. Both were dissolved and the US went back on Treasury-backed coinage.

In the clip below, Eric talks about what the dollar SHOULD be based on based on actual US monetary law – yes, I know how disappointing it is to think that the US doesn’t follow its own laws (insert eye-roll).

I asked Grok for the list of monetary policy over the length of the United States. I’ve pasted what it said at the bottom of this blog so you can at least look into the Acts yourself and determine what YOUR government has done to your way of life – or not…?

During our discussion with Dr. Snyder, we talked about all kinds of things that people often shut down as conspiracy theory. Because I know that the people who write the monetary policy at the Congress and The Fed benefit in some way from the policy (or they wouldn’t write it – apologies to the three Congressmen and Senators that actually work for The People), I wanted to be sure I wasn’t shutting down any of Dr. Snyder’s ideas without at least trying to vet them.

What I found was so interesting. When I asked Grok about whether the United States of America and the United States were different, it told me that it was a conspiracy theory. When I asked DuckDuckGo’s AI answer man, it didn’t say that. It said they were the same entity, but gave me the following information, which I thought was quite fascinating and could actually be taken two ways:

Definitions of the United States

United States

Refers to a federal corporation or an agency, department, or entity of the U.S. government.

United States of America

Refers to the country as a whole, which includes all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Key Differences

Aspect	United States	United States of America
Definition	A federal corporation or entity	The country comprising 50 states and D.C.
Usage	Often used in legal contexts	Commonly used in general contexts
Geographic Scope	Not specifically geographic	Includes all states and territories

The terms can sometimes be used interchangeably in casual conversation, but they have distinct meanings in legal and formal contexts.

Kind of interesting, huh? In fact, he talks about that in the video clip below – along with a theory that President Trump is moving us to an asset-backed dollar.

I’m going to pack in a bunch of links and information I found rabbit-trailing this afternoon after our interview with Dr. Snyder.

Here is a link to the President’s Order to establish a Sovereign Wealth Fund. Dr. Snyder was wrong here, this isn’t law yet, it has to be approved by Congress, but DJT most certainly did order it. We’ll have to hope they’ll do just that. It definitely seems like a move in the right direction.

Here’s a link to the Articles Of Confederation and a journal article about how the Continental wasn’t trashed, the Continental Congress (which was adjourned Sine Die) just fazed it out after they paid off their debts. Here’s a link to the Constitution and one from Justia that says it matters not whether or not something is capitalized or not, capitalization does not confer any legal title in legal documents. Here’s a link to the white paper on Units Dr. Snyder mentioned.

This is a GREAT article about the perpetual union and what that means, and of course, here’s the link to the US Debt Clock. Man, I went down a rabbit trail on that! I’ve posted below a very interesting PDF that you can download from the Debt Clock site itself if you click in the upper right hand corner where it says, “Secret Window”. It’s QUITE an interesting slide show. You’ll want to read it either there or below.

I have to say, the differences between Grok and DuckDuckGo AI assistant answers was fascinating – especially when asked about conspiracy theories. DDG doesn’t seem to be as resistant to those ideas, while Grok is happy to tell you right up front – dude, you’re a moron, that’s a conspiracy theory. LOL

My favorite was when I asked both about The Fed. I asked, “is the federal reserve a private or government entity”. Grok gave me numerous pages detailing how the Fed is not private, but isn’t government and only conspiracy theorists think it’s private and that bankers are making interest money off the loans it provides the government (paraphrasing in my own way). DDG, however, gave me the following answer and a couple of points to flesh it out:

The Federal Reserve is not privately owned; it is a unique entity that combines both public and private characteristics. While the Board of Governors is a government agency, the 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks operate like private corporations, with member banks holding stock in them.

The same thing happened when I asked, “are silver prices being manipulated on the market”. Grok came back with a ‘some say yes, some say no’ answer, while DDG basically said, “yup and here’s how”, providing some pretty good evidence showing it was.

SO! All that to say, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH ON ALL THIS, but realize that the basis of what Dr. Snyder said in the video is true – our money is as detached from reality as Joe Biden and if we don’t get it back on the nation’s weights and measures law, the devaluation of the dollar will steadily continue until we’re all spending 30 bucks just to get a loaf of bread.

Please share this information with your elected representative. I have all belief that few know all the information covered here and it shows. Our Governor and legislature continue to GIVE tax dollars to private businesses while NOT protecting the property and right to the gains of their own industry, every citizen fundamentally has. We MUST stand and protect ourselves and our future posterity.

*Major Monetary Policy Acts of the United States

Coinage Act of 1792 (An Act Establishing a Mint, and Regulating the Coins of the United States)
- Purpose: Established the U.S. Mint and defined the U.S. dollar as the official currency, based on a bimetallic standard (gold and silver).
- Key Provisions:
  - Created the U.S. Mint to produce coins, setting standards for gold, silver, and copper coinage.
  - Defined the dollar in terms of silver (371.25 grains of pure silver for a dollar coin) and established a gold-to-silver ratio of 15:1.
  - Authorized the Treasury to oversee coinage, laying the foundation for federal control over currency.
- Impact: Provided the first formal monetary system, ensuring a standardized currency for the new nation. It tied the dollar to precious metals, influencing monetary policy until the 20th century.
National Banking Acts of 1863 and 1864 (An Act to Provide a National Currency)
- Purpose: Created a national banking system and a uniform national currency during the Civil War to finance the Union and stabilize the economy.
- Key Provisions:
  - Established nationally chartered banks, regulated by the newly created Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (under the Treasury).
  - Authorized national banks to issue National Bank Notes, backed by U.S. government bonds, creating a uniform currency to replace state-issued notes.
  - Imposed a 10% tax on state banknotes (1865 amendment), effectively phasing them out.
- Impact: Centralized banking and currency issuance, reducing the chaos of state banknotes. It laid the groundwork for a federal monetary framework but lacked a central bank, leading to financial panics (e.g., 1907).
Coinage Act of 1873 (An Act Revising and Amending the Laws Relative to the Mints, Assay Offices, and Coinage of the United States)
- Purpose: Revised U.S. coinage laws, effectively moving the U.S. to a gold standard by demonetizing silver as a monetary base.
- Key Provisions:
  - Ended the free coinage of silver, making gold the primary standard for the dollar.
  - Reduced the role of silver dollars, limiting them to trade purposes (e.g., for international commerce).
- Impact: Known as the “Crime of 1873” by silver advocates, it sparked controversy among populists and farmers who favored bimetallism to increase money supply and ease debt burdens. It shaped monetary policy debates leading to the Federal Reserve’s creation.
Gold Standard Act of 1900 (An Act to Define and Fix the Standard of Value)
- Purpose: Formalized the gold standard as the basis for U.S. monetary policy, clarifying the dollar’s value and stabilizing currency.
- Key Provisions:
  - Defined the dollar as 25.8 grains of gold (90% pure), equivalent to $20.67 per ounce of gold.
  - Required all currency (including paper notes) to be redeemable in gold.
  - Reaffirmed the Treasury’s role in maintaining gold reserves to back currency.
- Impact: Solidified the gold standard, reducing monetary flexibility but ensuring international confidence in the dollar. It constrained money supply, contributing to calls for a central bank to manage liquidity.
Federal Reserve Act of 1913 (An Act to Provide for the Establishment of Federal Reserve Banks)
- Purpose: Created the Federal Reserve System to serve as the U.S. central bank, addressing banking panics and providing a flexible monetary policy.
- Key Provisions:
  - Established the Federal Reserve with a Board of Governors (a federal agency) and 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks (owned by member banks).
  - Authorized the Fed to issue Federal Reserve Notes as legal tender, backed by gold and government securities.
  - Gave the Fed authority to conduct monetary policy (e.g., setting interest rates, controlling money supply) and act as a lender of last resort.
  - Created the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to manage open market operations (formalized later in 1933).
- Impact: Fundamentally reshaped U.S. monetary policy by creating a central bank with tools to stabilize the economy, manage inflation, and respond to crises. It remains the cornerstone of modern U.S. monetary policy, as discussed in your question about the Fed’s structure.
Banking Act of 1933 (Glass-Steagall Act)
- Purpose: Reformed the banking system post-Great Depression to restore confidence and separate commercial and investment banking.
- Key Provisions:
  - Created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to insure bank deposits, protecting against bank failures.
  - Prohibited commercial banks from engaging in investment banking (e.g., underwriting securities), reducing speculative risks.
  - Strengthened Federal Reserve authority over member banks, including control over interest rates on deposits.
- Impact: Stabilized the banking system and influenced monetary policy by enhancing the Fed’s regulatory role. The separation of banking functions was partially repealed in 1999 (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act), but FDIC insurance remains a key stabilizer.
Banking Act of 1935 (An Act to Provide for the Sound, Effective, and Uninterrupted Operation of the Banking System)
- Purpose: Strengthened the Federal Reserve’s control over monetary policy and restructured its governance.
- Key Provisions:
  - Centralized monetary policy authority in the Board of Governors, reducing the influence of regional Reserve Banks.
  - Formalized the FOMC as the primary body for setting monetary policy, including open market operations.
  - Expanded the Fed’s ability to adjust reserve requirements for banks, enhancing control over money supply.
- Impact: Consolidated the Fed’s power to conduct monetary policy, making it more responsive to economic conditions. It solidified the modern structure of the Fed, as discussed in your question about its hybrid nature.
Employment Act of 1946 (An Act to Promote Maximum Employment, Production, and Purchasing Power)
- Purpose: Established federal responsibility for promoting economic stability, indirectly shaping monetary policy.
- Key Provisions:
  - Declared it the government’s responsibility to promote maximum employment, production, and purchasing power.
  - Created the Council of Economic Advisers to advise the President on economic policy.
- Impact: Influenced the Fed’s monetary policy by emphasizing employment alongside price stability, leading to the Fed’s dual mandate (formalized later in 1977). It set a broader economic context for the Fed’s actions.
Federal Reserve Reform Act of 1977 (An Act to Promote the Public Welfare)
- Purpose: Clarified the Federal Reserve’s objectives and increased its accountability to Congress.
- Key Provisions:
  - Formalized the Fed’s dual mandate to promote maximum employment and stable prices.
  - Required the Fed to report semiannually to Congress on monetary policy objectives and plans.
  - Mandated greater transparency in Fed operations.
- Impact: Codified the Fed’s responsibility to balance inflation control with job creation, shaping modern monetary policy. It increased public oversight, addressing concerns about the Fed’s independence raised in works like The Creature from Jekyll Island.
Humphrey-Hawkins Full Employment Act of 1978 (Full Employment and Balanced Growth Act)
- Purpose: Expanded on the 1946 Employment Act by setting specific economic goals and requiring detailed Fed reporting.
- Key Provisions:
  - Reaffirmed the Fed’s dual mandate (maximum employment and price stability) and added goals for economic growth and balanced trade.
  - Required the Fed Chair to submit biannual Monetary Policy Reports to Congress, detailing economic conditions and policy plans.
  - Set numerical targets for unemployment (4%) and inflation (3% by 1983, 0% by 1988), though these were largely aspirational.
- Impact: Strengthened the Fed’s accountability and transparency, formalizing its role in achieving specific economic outcomes. The reporting requirement remains a key feature of Fed-Congress relations.
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010
- Purpose: Reformed financial regulation post-2008 financial crisis, enhancing the Fed’s role in monetary policy and financial stability.
- Key Provisions:
  - Strengthened Fed oversight of systemically important financial institutions to prevent crises.
  - Created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), funded by the Fed but independent in operation.
  - Expanded GAO audits of the Fed’s emergency lending programs while preserving monetary policy independence.
  - Established the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), chaired by the Treasury Secretary, with Fed participation, to monitor systemic risks.
- Impact: Enhanced the Fed’s regulatory powers and coordination with the Treasury (as discussed in your question about their separation), while addressing public concerns about transparency. It modernized monetary policy’s role in systemic risk management.

How To Know Carbon Capture Is a Scam

So, before I was an education activist – and now a liberty activist – I was a biologist.

I actually have a BS (yes, I’m full of that! LOLOL) in Biology and a Master’s in Biology, both. In fact, I had intended to go on to get a Doctorate and teach, but once I found out that – in my experience – college professors were a bunch of big jerks I decided that wasn’t for me. Instead, I taught college as a TA and then after graduation, high school, middle school, my own kids and homeschool COOP kids.

Thus, I’ve been able to be fairly knowledgeable about issues we’ve covered that include science topics, like the Climate Change scam and all its universe of associated garbage.

Recently, I found out that Oklahoma had the second largest carbon capture facility in the world and the largest in the United States. I also found, as I asked around, that no one in Osage County (where the facility is located) seemed to know anything about it. This forced me – and our new writer Shane Smith – to do some research on carbon capture policy and what we found is that there really isn’t any policy other than no policy for green businesses, which doesn’t protect Oklahoma citizens at all. If you haven’t read our blog on the topic, you really should.

Last Friday, NeeAnn Clinton of Enid, in Garfield County, was on our podcast to tell us about a lawsuit residents have had to file against their Metropolitan Planning Commission for not upholding zoning laws in the case of a proposed 5000 acre solar facility just north of the city.

Though we kept trying to talk about solar, I kept inserting information about carbon capture because there were so many overlapping issues – mainly the lack of regulation.

At one point in the conversation I brought up a bit of biology…have a listen.

The slides embedded in the video came from the NOAA fisheries website. Go figure. I had learned about phytoplankton and blue-green algae when I was a student in college. So what? Now we don’t know this anymore? We’ve dumbed down our students so far in biology that not only do they NOT know the Carbon Cycle, but they don’t know what green plants/organisms do at all?

The schematic below shows specifically how oceanic environments SEQUESTER CO2 all by themselves without any help from carbon capture facilities.

In addition, just think of this one thing. What does the second largest carbon capture facility in the world run on? Electricity. Where does electricity come from? In Oklahoma, coal-fired electrical plants. So. Make sense of that. You can’t. It’s stupid.

This writer says, in an article actually titled, “The Great Carbon Capture Scam“,

Running a carbon capture system is incredibly energy-intensive, essentially requiring building a new power plant to run the system. This obviously creates another new source of air and carbon pollution since the U.S. no longer builds nuclear plants and even when it did never built them that small. This extra energy use undermines the whole goal of capturing carbon in the first place. Indeed, while the U.S. emits roughly 5 billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere every year, removing 1 billion tons of that through direct air capture would require nearly the entire electricity output of the nation, according to research published in Biophysical Economics and Sustainability.

In fact, the carbon capture scam is SO BAD that Rex Weyler of GREENPEACE FOR PETE SAKES, though he believes that Climate Change is a thing, and big oil is the devil, he does believe this:

The swindle appears simple: Pretend to help solve a problem, while making the problem worse, socialize the costs and liabilities, and privatize the profits. Clever.

Weyler’s article is really very good – lots of great information on all the failed CO2 capture attempts through today – but people won’t like it because it points to big oil as the generator of the scheme for regeneration of spent oil fields and our Governor won’t like it because it basically echoes what Michael says in the clip above – it’s all about the Benjamins. Period.

Oklahoma shouldn’t perpetuate scams on the back of their citizens and taxpayers, so you’d better let your legislator know you won’t put up with giving these private companies carte blanche to wreck your back yard and kill you with a CO2 pipe break and you’d better do it NOW!

Kyle Hilbert Or Tom Gann For Oklahoma Speaker Of The House – Hint; Hilbert Pays CAMP, And Is Funded Mainly By PAC Dollars!

No general Oklahoma voter can exercise their vote for one of the most important political positions in the legislature – Speaker of the House. Why, you might ask? Though that’s an excellent and reasonable question, I honestly don’t know, but as long as I’ve been aware, we’ve had to rely on our elected House Representatives to do that for us – often in secret vote.

What, you might say? How can the leader of the House – the one that picks the Committee Chairs, the one that decides what bills are heard, the one that sets the tone for the House of Representatives and can break a tie with their vote on any contentious legislation heard in committee – not be voted on by Oklahoma voters, though he or she would lead one entire half of the body of our legislature? Well, again, that’s a really excellent question.

Here’s what it says about the process in the article announcing Hilbert’s election – because there is nothing on the Oklahoma Legislature website that explains how the Speaker of the House is elected.

Under majority caucus rules, the speaker-designate for the upcoming Legislature is selected through a caucus election on the first Monday in March during election years. The 60th Legislature will be seated after November’s elections and convene for its first session in 2025. The entire body of the House will formally vote on its next speaker on organizational day for the 60th Oklahoma Legislature in early January 2025.

Majority (Republican) caucus rules can change every year, so that’s a comforting notion.

Last year, the current speaker – and longest in the position – Charles McCall, was term-limited (Oklahoma has 12 year term limits for every legislative office). Though 29-year-old Kyle Hilbert of Bristow – who will be the youngest ever to serve as Speaker – was elected by the Republican caucus last spring on the first ballot of the secret vote inside a Republican caucus meeting, Representatives Lonnie Sims and Kevin West also vied for the position. (Here’s a bit about Hilbert according to Ballotpedia.)

But not so fast. There is at least one other vote for House Speaker, so Hilbert’s ascendancy isn’t written in stone.

And why shouldn’t there be another vote? Some of the members of the House at the time of the first vote were either term-limited, or voted out in the primaries. Some still face a candidate in the November 5th election. Why should Representatives who won’t even be seated in the House during the 2025 session vote on the Speaker position instead of the newly elected Representatives who will serve in that legislature?

Recently, representative Tom Gann of Inola has thrown his hat in the ring to challenge Kyle Hilbert for Speaker. (Here’s a bit about Tom Gann from Ballotpedia.)

I thought it might be interesting to compare the two candidates, so I went through the Oklahoma Ethics Guardian System and pulled their Ethics reports from January through August – the first three quarters of the filing year. To make it easy to read, I loaded both Contributions and Expenses data for each candidate into an Excel spreadsheet.

Here is Tom Gann’s. Representative Gann has been in the House since 2016.

Here is Kyle Hilbert’s. Hilbert has also been in the Oklahoma House since 2016.

Totals are at the bottom of each column, but let me recap:

Tom Gann had no contributions for the first three reporting quarters. He had no real expenses other than the loan he repaid himself from 2023.

During that same time period, Kyle Hilbert took $1900 from individuals (including former legislators), $5750 from lobbyists, $61,151.32 from 38 different PACs (9 originating out of state), $20,657.67 from individuals associated with some kind of a business (the entry was John Smith, CEO of XYZ Corporation) and $2950 from two separate tribes – for a total of $92,408.99.

Hilbert’s expenses are not fully listed here. I picked out his payments to other House members – a total of $97,200.00). He also paid CAMP and James Martin Company for his political needs. Both often work together in the world of Oklahoma political consulting.

This is a video of Kyle Hilbert from a KFOR political program on Sunday mornings. Please note. According to him, his job is to get Republicans elected to office.

Clearly, he’s not read the Constitution. That is NOT his job. His job is to protect the liberty of his constituents. Please also note – he was convinced that former Chair of the House Appropriations Committee Kevin Wallace would be re-elected. In a stunning victory for LIBERTY in Lincoln and surrounding counties, citizens came out during a hot July primary to UNELECT Kevin Wallace because he was more interested in special interests than his own constituents – kind of like Kyle Hilbert.

Interestingly, a PAC called the WolfPAC was created in 2023 to work for “Oklahoma’s Legislative Future”. The PAC is run by people I profiled in The Corruption Belt – Diagramming Oklahoma’s Dark Money Web – Political Consultants and PAC Treasurers. The treasurer is Dustin Hilliary, part of the Oklahoma Hilliary Communications network. The Hilliary family are very involved in Oklahoma politics and frequently donate to Oklahoma campaigns.

The following is a quote from a Fox 24 article Oklahoma’s broadband office reboots process for distributing $382 million in federal funds amid concerns:

The Hilliary family are big political donors, including to Governor Kevin Stitt and State Superintendent Ryan Walters. We looked at the Hilliarys’ political contributions since 2015 and found they donated $705,803.20 to candidates and PACS that support them. $249,315.60 of that came directly from Hilliary Communications co-CEO Dustin Hilliary. In April, Dustin was appointed by Governor Stitt to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, even though Dustin, himself, does not hold a college degree.

Here is an invitation for a fund-raiser for the PAC. Note, that James Martin Company – who is paid many multiple thousands of dollars by Hilbert’s campaign account – is taking RSVPs.

The main donations to the PAC are other PACs, lobbyists and individuals associated with companies or corporations – many of which are the same ones donating to Hilbert’s campaign.

The main expenditures from the PAC fund the campaigns of Oklahoma Representatives – including Hilbert. Why? Aren’t people from their own districts supposed to be supporting their office? Aren’t they to be Representatives of the People, not PACs or other candidates or legislators? If a candidate is receiving money from the campaign of a ‘leadership’ PAC or the Speaker Designate, what does that say about the independence of those Oklahoma Representatives? What happens when a bill is run and the Speaker needs votes? (Notice, not every legislator is on either Hilbert’s or WolfPAC’s list). Some Oklahoma legislators don’t take funds like those described above, thus circumventing any of the questions posed about their consequences.

Don’t Oklahomans have the right to wonder what happens during the next vote for Speaker? Do legislators who got checks feel the need to vote for the person who gifted them of his campaign funds? It surely does beg the question and an answer should be carefully considered.

In contrast, here is a video of Tom Gann during an October 8th Interim Study held at the capitol which described how Oklahomans can lose a host of their Constitutional rights when police officers pull over cars and use data captured by Automatic License Plate Readers.

Hmmm…is it just me, or is there really no comparison between Gann and Hilbert now that we’ve had the chance to look at them side-by-side?

Gann is funded by NO ONE – Hilbert is funded by PACs and lobbyists and individuals who represent/work with large corporations and businesses within the state – people who could very well have a stake in any legislation run through the legislature.

NOW, if any of the issues I’ve brought up concern you, contact your House Rep RIGHT NOW and ask them to vote for Tom Gann for Speaker of the House! (If you don’t know who that is, please slap yourself and then go here) It’s the only way to put government back in its box – the one that exists solely of PROTECTING OUR RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES.

So You Think School Choice Will Solve Education Issues In Oklahoma? James Lindsay Wants You To Think Again…

“School choice is going to be very popular – it’s gonna poll very well – it has an enormous…everybody’s ‘spidey’ sense should be tingling because of how much money’s behind the school choice lobby. Like who writes your checks? Why on earth is so much money being dumped into this school choice lobby?”
James Lindsay via Unwokeable.

Ever wonder why James Lindsay was the greatest thing since sliced bread when he was going after CRT, but after he began talking about the false choice of school choice, his influence has disappeared in Oklahoma? Hint: our HUGE school choice mafia – I mean lobby – don’t want YOU to hear what he has to say, lest it hurt their plans to make all schools public schools.

If you like James Lindsay and like what he has to say about DEI, CRT and all the other nonsense feeding into our public schools and society, you had BETTER listen to this podcast. Here, Mark Ousley (Unwokeable) and James Lindsay discuss why the School Choice movement is a FALSE MOVEMENT and why. Don’t have time to listen? Put on your airpods and listen while you work. THIS IS IMPORTANT.
