Never before have I seen so much self-importance and energy invested in a innovation so over-engineered and so impractical. Some of you will ask "What do you think is better?"

I rather leave that to be addressed all in good time.

Sparkasse stands under the German Savings Banks Finance Group which includes the German public Landesbanks.

It seems the elite Rothschild wealth management firm is a key investment adviser to this whole shin-dig. This reeks fear from the central banking establishment all around. I can smell the resentment. Isn't it lovely?

Heh, I think the establishment is becoming more fearful by the passing day. It's very intriguing to watch.

People having large amounts of coins has never been a problem. It will never be a problem. The only power that comes from that is exchanging it for equitable goods and services.

It is the means and force to distribute and allocate wealth through monetary control and seizure that cause destruction. Money itself is not that powerful of a force.

Still a tin-hat conspiracy theory.

So what if FEMA is preparing "camps"?  What do all these conspiracy theorists think is going to happen?  The military suddenly puts everyone in the nation into camps?  Yeah, right.
The military is going to put "terrorists" into these camps. In other words, civilians with anti-government leanings that they don't happen to like.

This man has never been wrong. He predicted the housing crisis when the Keynesians and Krugman were calling for more destruction and has been accurate many times before that.

The question is will Bitcoin be ready to handle a global economic crisis?

For the better part of two decades FEMA detention camps were believed to be a figment of tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorists. As more information over the years has been made available through alternative news researchers like Alex Jones in his full length documentary Police State 4 and former governor Jesse Venutra's FEMA camp exposé, it is becoming increasingly clear that the government has been taking steps for quite some time to ensure a rapid and effective response in the event of a national disaster or U.S. military deployment on American soil.

As many of our readers know, the U.S. Senate recently passed the National Defense Authorization Act, which, it has been argued, authorizes the establishment of domestic war zones and the subsequent detention of those who are suspected of engaging in terrorist-related activity – including, arguably, U.S. citizens. What you may not know, however, is that just days after the passage of the act reports are surfacing that the Federal Emergency Management Agency, under the auspices of the Department of Homeland Security, is requisitioning private contractors to provide services for government, defense & infrastructure pertaining specifically to FEMA activities with respect to emergency services.

At first glance, this may seem like no big deal. Why shouldn't the government prepare for emergencies?

However, a review of an email made available through Info Wars from Kellogg, Brown & Root Services (KBR), a subsidiary of mega government contractor Haliburton, notes that the contracting opportunities available through the government and KBR are specifically for "temporary camp services and facilities."

Key Excerpts from the email and Project Overview:

Kellogg, Brown and Root Services (KBR) is seeking subscontractors on a national basis to provide temporary camp services and facilities as part of its current and future emergency services contracts for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and state/local government agencies.
The continental US will be broken up into five regions – Services will be required in each State within each region.
Establish services listed below within 72 hours for initial set-up and respond within 24 hours for incremental services. This is a CONTINGENCY PROJECT and it should be stressed that lead times will be short with critical requirements due to the nature of emergency responses. Subcontractors must be flexible and able to handle multiple, shifting priorities in an emergency environment. Supply lines needed must be short but not necessarily pre-positioned.
The personnel on site to be covered by these services will depend on the size and scope of the recovery effort, but for estimating purposes the camp will range in size from 301 to 2,000 persons for up to 30 days in length.

Heh, this made me think of what kind of porn they would have in a RBE society:

Citizen TC-834, you've been volunteered by the people's desire initiative subsection 7 to fulfill your fellow humans sexual desires. You will be coupled with a female comrade who will assist you in meeting our community's sexual needs. Please proceed to the bedding chambers in 5 time units.

The senior Zeitgeist did an about-face and headed down the right corridor and saluted a passing scientist looking for any psychological traits that implied "irrationality".

TC-834, began to scowl. He had been taught from birth to take kindly to such "voluntary" transactions or such will imply willful ignorance of the scientific method. The last time he was punished for his irrationality, he was sentenced to reeducation. He had traded lunch with his friend Kenneth and was labeled with ignorant capitalistic tendencies. Reeducation camp was long and tedious and consisted of cleaning toilets and massaging the backs of the many senior scientists. At least this time he could experience sex with a half-way decent partner. This is far better than the time he was assigned to the disabled...

Such negative thoughts about others is considered irrational by the Zeitgeist Commission since unconditional love is expected of all citizens, yet TC-834 cringed in disgust every single time he was assigned to sexual duty with partners he did not prefer. If found of this crime, TC-834 could be sentenced to re-education for another decade.

Heh, I should really write a book on this.

"If you build it, he will come"...

Never mind guys... I don't like to stay on words...

I'm saying this because I believe in something:

We do not need to compete each other, we must cooperate to make the Earth, the most amazing place of the Universe!

So, to start the development of this new society, I just bought a huge farm in here Brazil, with little rivers, wind, much solar light, etc... All the resources needed to develop a new, open source, society, without money.


"If you build them, they will come."

Best!

Sounds like "The Mosquito Coast" by Paul Theroux and we know how that turned out.
But it sounds like a fun adventure for a while.

You are invited to live with us.

We'll start our project, the experimental city, using the open source tools called "Open Source Ecology - GVCS".

Any surplus produced in our city, such as food, clothing, open source industries products, will be sold out by Bitcoins / Litecoins.

Until the day that we will be the majoritary group, so, everyone else will be absorved by our new system. Which will take care of all of us.

ADDED: And the money, including the Bitcoin, will be left in our past.

Cheers,
Thiago

I feel compelled to ask...

Suppose this place is set up, and children are born there.

Suppose one day the settlers discover their children trading pretty sea shells for snacks, favors, toys, etc. Furthermore, suppose a few of the children, through no force, fraud, deceit or trickery have accumulated most of the shells, and that a few of the children, through no force, fraud, deceit or trickery, have almost none.

What would you do about the situation?


Re-education camp for those ignorant fiends.

If China gets onto this, I think the price will go so high that I won't have to work another day in my life. I don't think many of us will have to.
37  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Staff from PBC suggests taking control of bitcoin network. on: December 12, 2011, 04:39:27 AM


wouldn't they just fork the code and make chinacoin?

that way, then can change the code in such a way as to make it easily regulated.

oh, and

italycoin
iraqcoin
rucoin
indiacoin......


I can see a future full of alt currencies.

Sure they can do that. Who will support their network?

The taxpayers.

So taxation will prevent a 51% attack?

The state will have 100%. They know what's best.
38  Other / Politics & Society / Political Philosophies Capable of Unconditional Love on: December 12, 2011, 04:26:54 AM
I see relationships fail all the time because one partner tries to "fix" the other. Of course this isn't love; it's a pure quest of domination. Never has this been remotely compassionate but merely attempted assimilation and hatred for who the person currently is.

In regards to political philosophy, the only schools of thought I know that accept people for their individual desires, cultures and choices are ones that advocate decentralized states that can conform to many types of people. This to me is love. It doesn't judge and it doesn't control: it accepts you for who you are. You can choose to live your life how you wish with people you can genuinely care for.

Other philosophies try to create one world and one people and bend them to their whim. Like their human counterparts, they are bound to fail.

Who here likes to truly love people and not control them?
