People tried to rebuild their lives by building cooperatives but the government tried to block that. But as can be seen from the same movie But here is another survival strategy that has a good chance of success and longevity – bartering:- These people are working in markets where they are bartering skills and goods, and most importantly they created a new money creditos. This money was originally intended only to be used for trading within these barter markets, but they have become such a valuable means of trading that people accept creditos outside the barter market system. Occupy, your democracy has led you to credit unions and cooperatives but whilst you continue to trade using Rockefeller’s currency your money will grow to be meaningless. As the financial crisis deepens Rockefeller’s 1% will print more money so that it will appear that they still have their wealth. And when you want to spend your money it might not be there. They want you to work for them all your lives, and maybe when you come to spend your pension it won’t be there, and you will be too old to earn more. What can happen then? It is this normal life they are taking away from us. We want to be secure that we have worked all our lives, and that we can die in peace having saved our pensions. They are taking that away from us – ask the Greeks. Occupy, use your youthful vigour to establish a global community with your own currency #O. Out of the Latin American issues has come a film Addendum 14/12/11 The Greeks have already started on the barter:- and a good idea for skillsets – time banking. Hope to hear more of this. |
