Take a guess:

What "Genetic Culture (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?529767-If-Culture-isn-t-Genetic-and-Preservation-of-Culture-is-the-Goal&p=6752182&viewfull=1#post6752182)" was this woman? idiom ? Any wild guesses?

Take a sneak peek, guys, into what a high-trust society looks like. Used to look like.


Fox News: (https://www.foxnews.com/us/volunteer-finds-4k-and-a-family-letter-in-hollowed-out-book-tracks-down-owner-and-returns-the-cash)


A full-time book sale volunteer who discovered stacks of hundred dollars bills alongside a family letter tucked into an old novel immediately tracked down the owner so she could return the large sum of money.

Cathy McAllister, a retired teacher and lifelong book lover, has been giving her time to the Volunteer Nonprofit Service Association (VNSA) in Phoenix, Ariz. leafing through thousands and thousands of donated books since 2012. So she had to do a double-take and was left “speechless” when she found $4,000 worth of cash in a book she described as “a little tattered around the edges” and “not a big seller.”



She held an old copy of “The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire,” one that she normally would’ve discarded to be repurposed instead of sold, but she said she wanted to justify her guilt of throwing out the classic by leafing through it just in case it had smokey or smelly pages.

“I don’t know what that was, I was literally throwing it in the discards,” she said. “It was just a feeling.”
She told the local Fox affiliate, FOX 10, she didn’t think it was real at first.

“I had the book in my hands,” McAllister said. “I was ready to toss it, because we had several copies already…but when I fanned that book out, there’s a big hole carved out in the book amongst the pages, and I look down in there and I thought, ‘It’s monopoly money. Oh how fun,’ but it’s not monopoly money. It was all banded as it comes from the bank. It was four packages of $100 bills.”

But she also discovered a family letter that said to whom the money belonged. That was how she located the family within 10 minutes of opening the hidden treasure.

See, I'll bet you're glad "ignore" doesn't work to block new threads, huh?

While we're at it, lets also give her a key to the city as well.

From now on, I think I am only going to post uplifting stories here. At this point we have enough black pills stockpiled to last a lifetime. Of course, I will also put my characteristic hateful Traditionalist spin on all of them, if at all possible. ;^)

This should align with MATA (Make America Trustworthy Again).

Part of credit for this great smaritan act could go to Trump for setting a great example of national inspiration with honesty and high trust leadership at the top. It may take a while for such qualities to work their way down among the masses.

There's a niche for everyone. And everyone in her niche.

Someone better be more careful with their SHTF stash. Gold/Silver are better, I agree.

But it is.
