THRIVE: What On Earth Will It Take?

[mashman]

OMG. Tinfoil hats in the mail for all of you.

could you put drugs in mine please... I'll make the hat myself

[James Deuce]

No problem, I haven't posted them yet. Or I could just turn your hat into a tinny?

[mashman]

oh just give it away why doncha.

[mashman]

did ya watch the vid? or would that be akin to teaching granny to suck eggs?

[James Deuce]

It's a sales pitch masquerading as a counter-culture revolutionary movement.

The thought had crossed my mind... but the information is free and the guy narrating prolly doesn't need the cash... and irrespective of that, the message is key. Just a shame that he doesn't grasp the concept that no matter what financial currency you use, the same people will get their grubby mits on it one way or another (the serious money only really travelling in one direction etc...). Does anyone know what the lending criteria for a "credit union" is? I highly doubt that these sorts of institutions are Elite proof for some reason.

Money (financial) control, the ultimate example of the KISS principal and yet still the most powerful weapon the world has ever known!

Financial controller's of the world ... the real 1% ... the remaining 99% will (and do) lay down their lives to maintain their dishonest and privileged position! FFS!

Absolutely...

Aye, remove the $ and let's see how they do then... who knows, maybe we'll end up with a govt that won't need to legislate our personal responsibility away. I'm in

What's the rate for revolutionary thinking? Something along the lines of, Free NZ and the rest will follow.

Not particularly... but then the english language can be twisted in so many different ways that all a person needs to do is work out where the loophole lies. Awesome commodity and designed for purpose.
Nooooo, pick me pick me... I want the money so that I can spend allllllll day with the unemployed (aged, infirm, lazy, those without jobs etc...) explaining to them why they should spend a little time listening to how they could make their lives less stressful by coming with me to the beehive for a chitchat with the regulars in regards to a simple solution for everyone in NZ (and eventually the world muuuuwaha muuwaha muuuuuwaaaahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa... all you worlds will be mine, and I'll give them back once they're fixed and trustworthy people are running the show). I'll be good, pwomise

I had a look but found it all a bit naive. For example, how many people out there have not figured out the cancer research scam? You spend millions, or is it billions of $ researching cancer and looking for a cure. Do you think they are all going to happily lay down tools and request no further funding if a cure is in fact found? That would make them all unemployed, and probably unemployable because all they know how to do is look for a cure four cancer!... A cure is the last thing they want. (A cure for cancer has been found many times over.)

And, does anyone still believe banks and gubirnments are honest???

Thanks.

There's also no money in not persistently producing goods that no one really needs. Growth would suffer otherwise. To that end we must needlessly do all sorts of damaging things in order to carry on "growing". It's a complete fuckin sham when they talk all green, as they wouldn't know green if several thousand people put up websites and videos explaining how it could be done for all of our benefit and not for the benefit of those who can afford it only. Pick a product, any product and you can probably guarantee that the manufacturer is 2/3/4/5 years further down the line in regards to development than we see on the shelves. Fuckin useless really and a complete waste of resources. Green my fluffy white arse. That production cycle needs to slow down, but it'll never happen where it's led by the need for money to produce the next gen, then the next gen etc... As for the big C... if that vid was telling the truth and sound could be used to annihilate cancer cells, why are we persisting with a cure that involves a pill that costs more to manufacture than many third world country people will earn in a month? As you say, it doesn't make anyone any money.

The best thing about all of this, from an entertainment perspective, is hearing people say we don't know how lucky we are and ignoring the issues entirely for someone else to fix when there's no way on this planet that any corporation/government will do anything to harm the all too precious economy. Such intelligent people with absolutely no fuckin idea what they're going to do about the important issues that we face. Let's all just thank our lucky stars that we don't live in Africa (or somewhere else just as bad) and roll over and play dead so that the intelligent leaders of the world can get on with the important business of managing the economy... an economy that is absolutely doomed to failure. The answer to all of these problems and more is simple! and I howl with laughter when hear "as there is no silver bullet". The irony being that we'd need money to get to where we'd need to be to affect the change that is required. Bank account details to follow

what?! money is awesome.
the governments borrow it from a private institution. (borrowed at interest of course.)
the institution only prints the capital, and not the interest. the interest in intended to be re payed by the masses servitude for the next generation.
i don't see what could go wrong.

the thing about capitalism, is that it requires profit. with a tight business model, profit requires growth. growth requires consumption. consumption usually involves non-renewable resources.
