Daisy WIKILEAKS DRAMATIC STORYTELLING TIME (from CHAT.WIKILEAKS.ORG) THEATER OF THE GODS Real-Life TRUE STORIES and LESSONS from the DEFINE.COM Jubilee Guy
* Now talking on #offtopic * Topic for #offtopic is: *** Welcome to #offtopic, channel dedicated to any discussion *** * Topic for #offtopic set by p at Thu Apr 19 12:46:14 2012 <Golden> GuestX, I came clean with my medication prescriber today and told her that I wasn't really a schizophrenic, but that I was really a self-medicating drug addict who's drugs of choice are Wellbutrin, Lexapro, Geodon, Hydroxyzine, Lamictal, Caffeine and Marijuana. Our fifteen minute appointment turned into one hour and fifteen minutes. <GuestX> That was to be expected.
Dolphin Body Language.
Marines.
<Golden> I told her the reason I got myself onto Social Security Disability is because I have severe PTSD due to a fucked up childhood with a bullying tyrannical hot-tempered violent super-controlling micro-managing authoritarian perfectionist father with a hair pin trigger and that whenever I have any conflict with authority I completely lose all self control and say exactly what I'm thinking without thinking which is exactly the wrong thing to say at the time which always gets me fired - so I get fired a lot and can't hold down a job. I finally just got really, totally burned out. (Actually my Dad's a great guy these days. Very patriotic and thoughtful and kind and gentle and caring. He did his best and his heart was in the right place. WE ALL HAVE OUR PARTS TO PLAY in THE THEATER OF THE GODS. That was his PART. That was his ROLE. Once a Marine, always a Marine. Semper Fidelis. Go TEAM! Whatever it takes. GO NAVY! Full Speed Ahead! Be All That You Can Be. Aim High! THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE and "All That Jazz!" Hoorah!) <GuestX> What did she say? Surprised you are still alive?
Schizophrenic.
<GuestX> BTW your lack of sleep can trigger schizophrenic like reactions too. <Golden> I told her all I wanted was just to smoke pot and be left alone to live my life in peace with as little conflict and suffering as possible. Told her I'd be happy to give up the Wellbutrin, Lexapro, Geodon, Lamictal, Hydroxyzine and Caffeine in exchange for just the pot, if I can get it. <GuestX> No sleep is hallucinating, especially with your drug regime. <Golden> She said, the current prevailing opinion in the psychiatric community is that pot can't be recommended for people with a history of psychosis. So I confessed: all my past psychotic episodes were caused by massive overdoses of antidepressants over a prolonged period.
Police.
Ambulance.
<Golden> She said the other doctor wrote down some very specific notes about one of my "psychotic episodes" in which I was dancing naked in the front yard, then taken into custody by the police for subsequent transfer by ambulance to a hospital for later involuntary commitment to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation. <Golden> I told her that when you go through 2 bottles of antidepressants in 10 days, you get a bit on the bold and manic side. I told her I stood in the doorway of my house fully clothed and a strong voice in my internal dialog just short of an auditory hallucination told me, "OK. Take off your clothes. Go outside, and whatever happens just fucking deal with it. It will all work out for the best. It's for the greater good. You'll be fine, trust us. The show must go on. Let's get this done. Here we go!" <GuestX> I think you'll have to prove to her who you are without meds first.
The Sun.
<Golden> So I took off my clothes and went out into the front yard stark naked and staired at The SUN. When a cop showed up with a can of pepper-spray aimed at my eyes shouting "Get Down! Get Down!" a strong voice in my internal dialog said, "Don't do anything at all. Don't speak. Don't do anything threatening. Keep your hands at your sides. Just stay relaxed." So I just stood there with my hands at my sides until I ended up handcuffed in the back seat of a police car for later transfer to an ambulance for a ride to the hospital.
Bell.
<Golden> After spending 10 days under involutary evaluation in the psychiatric hospital to determine my mental competence, I was found fully competent and CLEAR AS A BELL and released. There were three more ambulance rides over the next 12 years, here and there. Some short hospital stays and a few memorable out-of-body, outside-of-time experiences. Very interesting, actually. Cool stuff. A bit on the dangerous side but a hell of a lot of excitement and novelty. Liberating, really. Something of a Pagan Awakening each time. Very deep stuff. Very spiritual. Very intense. <Golden> I said, "So, Debi, am I a schizophrenic?"
THE HUFFINGTON POST.
<Golden> After coming clean with Debi, I decided to come clean with The Huffington Post. Read my last 5 posts here if you have a little attention span tonight. This relates to The 2012 Elections in a roundabout way. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/social/Ken_Meyering?action=comments <Golden> I said, "I have severe PTSD and marijuana is my self-medication of preference. It makes me feel relaxed and good and happy." She said, "According to all available research, there have been no studies that conclude that it provides any benefit at all to people with PTSD." I said, "Debi, that's because THE U.S. GOVERNMENT DOES NOT ALLOW ANY SCIENTIFIC STUDIES OF MARIJUANA in the United States since Richard Nixon reclassified pot as a Schedule 3 controlled substance and created the DEA and War on Drugs specifically to destroy the ANTI-VIETNAM WAR HIPPIE PEACE MOVEMENT at the time in the 1960's and 1970's." <Golden> Since that time, there have been no scientific research studies allowed. Therefore, no scientific data. Although PTSD is a perfectly valid and legal reason for getting a marijuana prescription in California, it is not yet here in Washington State, where you practically have to be writhing in pain or wasting away on your death bed to get a prescription. She replied, "I'm sure there are a lot of PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES who would make absolutely no money at all if marijuana was legalized." <Golden> She said she'd be happy to rewrite my prescriptions for Wellbutrin, Lexapro, Geodon, Lamictal and Hydroxyzine, and that would help her keep her job. On the other hand, recommending pot for me would put her at professional risk. <GuestX> That's sad. She really said that? <Golden> In so many words she said that. Not that she needed to give me drugs to keep her job, but that she needed to give me the right *legal* drugs to keep her job.
Richard Nixon.
<Golden> So, she's a pawn of the PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY and the Pro-War Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats in Congress. That's about the gist of it, although her intentions are very good. If she was REALLY FREE to do what she REALLY FEELS like doing IN HER HEART, with all her KNOWLEDGE and TRAINING and INTELLIGENCE and SENSITIVITY and COMPASSION, things would be very different for her and things would be very different for me. That's THE BOTTOM LINE. That's all there is to it. SHE IS NOT FREE - in the slightest. Not at all. Not one bit. Not one iota. Thank you, Your Highness, Richard Nixon. May you rest in peace - you fucking crooked, lying, power-hungry, murdering jerk. <GuestX> Yeah, well, the US loves their drugs. Did she say she could help you with getting off of them? * Guest860 (user@chat.wikileaks.org) has joined #offtopic
The Marijuana Legalization Movement.
<Golden> She agreed that I'm in charge of my own body, and that I am not under the protective care of anybody else and that I have the right to do whatever I want with my own body. She recommended I get involved in the MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION MOVEMENT. I asked her to check out some of my YouTube videos, but her connection to the Windows Terminal Server is too slow for YouTube, so I couldn't show her my KALEIDOSCOPE VIDEOS. <Golden> She said I'm welcome to try to ween myself off the prescription drugs at any time I choose - I don't need her permission - but she'd appreciate it if I'd keep her in the loop so there are no suprises. <Golden> She said perhaps, since I'm currently under medication management only, that I might consider electing to return to therapy to focus more specifically on the PTSD. I said, "I don't want to go back to work." She said, "You can choose whatever goals you want for your therapy. Going back to work doesn't have to be your goal and it doesn't have to be ours." <GuestX> How are you doing with the weening?
Pills.
<Golden> I started back up on the Wellbutrin and Lexapro pills yesterday. Perhaps, after having been off of it for 2 weeks, I was feeling a bit of a bump and elevated sense of confidence and willingness to risk opening up and sharing the truth with her. So, in this case, falling off the wagon helped air the truth. <Golden> When you take a "Medication Vacation" and get it out of your system, then start back up again, the starting back up process is slightly jubilant. <GuestX> You do know other people are paying for you, right? Not just rich but also poor Americans. <Golden> Read my Huffington Post. I'm happy to help those taxpayers out a bit. I appreciate their contribution to my sanity and rest and recuperation. I can help them, too, in return for all the help they've given me. All they need to do is focus like a laser beam on this website and to have a civilized discussion with each other, The Media and The Powers That Be. I've layed it all out all and put it all together in one place, complete with a little dramatic story to help make it all easier to swallow and AS PAINLESS AS POSSIBLE. <GuestX> Would be better if you did it yourself. <Golden> In A MORE PERFECT WORLD, maybe. But this is how it turned out in THE REAL WORLD. Here WE are. This is it. THE REAL THING. FLESH and BONE and BLOOD and GUTS.
Puppet.
<GuestX> Well you only can control your own actions... And for you even that is a lot to ask. So start taking care of yourself. <Golden> True. I can only control MY OWN ACTIONS. But, AM I THE ONLY ONE who can CONTROL *MY* ACTIONS? So who's the boss here? Don't look at me. I'm definitely not the boss of anybody here. <GuestX> You are the boss of you.
Stop Punishing Good People.
<Golden> Why can't I smoke pot, then? <GuestX> That's all you care about? Sounds like the pot is in control of you. <Golden> That's my life mission. Make yourself into a pot legalization fodder for discussion object to advance the argument for the legalization of marijuana, which will result in subsequent mass insistence on ending all wars, poverty and a demand for universal healthcare worldwide. <Golden> There's a method to my madness.
Peace.
<Golden> Pot is The Golden Key that unlocks THE PUBLIC WILL to achieve WORLD PEACE. <GuestX> I don't think pot can do all that. <Golden> I do. Let's give it a try, shall we? <GuestX> Bad people will still be bad no matter how stoned you get them. <GuestX> Hmmm, no. It's a stupid plan. <Golden> Bad people can be bad in their own homes. They won't need to rob mine if they don't need to commit crimes any more to survive and get high. <Golden> Money is the root of all evil today. Money being earned through crime makes criminals out of people who just want the host to be high and safe. <GuestX> That is nonsense. They don't just steal for survival. They do it for greed. * GuestZ (user@chat.wikileaks.org) has joined #offtopic
Handcuffs.
<Golden> I'd say in most cases the criminals would abandon crime if they could just lay back and relax and get high without fear of being evicted from their homes or arrested by the police. <GuestX> They sell drugs for greed. * Guest860 has quit (Leaving) <Golden> What if they don't sell drugs but they're so psychologically fucked up and stupid that they can't hold down a job? What is their alternative, then? <GuestX> Then they need counceling, not drugs. <Golden> How do they pay for the counseling without employer-based insurance? Welfare? <GuestX> Well, that is America's problem.. no general healthservice, like most of Europe does have. <Golden> Yes. That is America's problem. I'd like very much to stimulate discussion that helps us address this problem decisively and definitively. That takes us straight to banking.
Republicans and Democrats.
<GuestX> Well vote Obama then... the other side is even worse... hmmm that should probably be their campaign slogan: "Vote Democrats! The Republicans are even worse!" <Golden> Might as well take out the government peacefully and nonviolently in the process by overhauling the banking industry in one fell swoop by doing a Global Jubilee. <Golden> Hi. I'm Ken. I'm the Jubilee guy. <GuestX> It won't work. <Golden> Can you please be more specific? <GuestX> Your whole scheme, it is too radical, there is too much resistance, plus you have a few really stupid ideas in there based on the idea that you can just sit at home and waste your life. <Golden> GuestX, do you pay rent or mortgage? Do you have to pay for your electricity? <Golden> What if you didn't have to?
Treadmill.
<GuestX> It doesn't work that way. Well for you maybe for some miraculous reason, but somebody somewhere is working 3 jobs to make you able to do that. <Golden> What if they didn't have to work 3 jobs any more because they no longer had most bills required for to pay the basics. Shelter. Energy. Clothing. Electricity. <GuestX> I pay a mortgage because that money isn't mine, I didn't earn that. I pay for electricity because I didn't make it myself. And YES, I'm planning not to do that in the near future. <Golden> Whoever owns your mortgage got it from somebody who got it from somebody who inherited it from somebody who got it from somebody down the line who stole it from somebody or created the money to buy it out of thin air. <GuestX> But first I have to pay back the bank what I owed them and save up so someone can build me a solar panel, and they need compensation for their work. Just like the person that weaved the cloth for my trousers and the farmer that grew the cotton for the cloth does. <Golden> Make the money electronic. Have two types, gold-backed and persistent, fiat and temporary that expires in a month. Pay the solar panel workers in gold currency, pay unemployeed people in fiat currency that expires in a month. Take both forms of currency in a private market owned by a GLOBAL CITIZEN-OWNED DEMOCRATICALLY-CONTROLLED NONPROFIT BANK where EACH CITIZEN HAS ONE NON-TRANSFERABLE VOTING SHARE EACH. Now you don't have to work, but the solar panel factory workers still get paid enough to save up wealth. <GuestX> Somebody somewhere did work for it. Somebody built my house.
Federal Reserve
<Golden> Since the money is electronic, you can generate it out of thin air, just like the The U.S. Federal Reserve does right now. Except The Fed gives it to banks who then subsequently loan it to the citizens at usurious interest rates. The CITIZEN-CONTROLLED NONPROFIT BANK can give it straight to THE CITIZENS without interest rates at all. That eliminates the middle-man and makes life better for everybody. <GuestX> They got the money for it from the bank and I need to pay back the bank for lending that to me. <Golden> The bank made the money out of nothing. <GuestX> Yes, the banks are fucked up! But only because we started lending. We wanted more then we could afford at the time. It's pure greed! But it's our own greed. I agree with that. <Golden> GuestX, WE THE PEOPLE have to take back TOTAL CONTROL OF THE MONEY SUPPLY - WORLDWIDE. <GuestX> But that is not by just annuling all debt. You have to pay for your past mistakes. And then do better in the future. <Golden> Cool. We now have a small but significant point of consensus. Fuck your past mistakes. Learn to forgive yourself for your indoctrinated state of conditioned stupidity and consumerism-based insatiable visceral need for immmediate material gratification due to your brainwashing by the government and advertising industry.
Rat
<Golden> You're a rat in a rat race. Debt is what rats do, by design of the bankers who own our current system. You're one of B.F. Skinner's rats in a maze called Capitalism. <GuestX> I'm not! <Golden> You are a product of your government which is a product of the banks that control your government. You are HUMAN CAPITAL.
Rings.
<Golden> Contracts and obligations are artificial constructs created by politicians and lawyers and bankers and controllers. Like, "'Till Death Do We Part" - a CONTRACT to share material wealth between families. a.k.a, "Wedding." <Golden> "But the white dress and veil are so beautiful! I love the rituals and all. The flower girls are so pretty and cute and innocent and pure. It's all so MOVING and MAGICAL and ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME." Give me a fucking break. It's a BUSINESS CONTRACT created by property owners in order to expand wealth. It's good for the men who want a guaranteed, regular, steady, predictable, good and clean piece of ass all to themselves. It's all about the pussy and the money and the control and the ownership. All the rest is just hormones and promises and lies and fantasies and massive amounts of peer pressure and social expectations of obedience and conformity and adherance to rules. It's mind control and servitude no matter how you slice it. If it's working for you, great. If it isn't, split. You don't need to ask anybody for permission. It's your life. In the end, you're on your own. Forget about the money and property. Leave it. Start over. LAWYERS, JUDGES and CHURCHES - Fuck 'em all.
The Supreme Court.
<GuestX> Ken, do you ever look at all that is done for you as you live your egoistical life style of doing zilch. You give nothing of value for it in return. <Golden> If you can't see that I produce something of value, you are just a dimwit. <GuestX> Your brain cob webs are useless. Your movies? Nothing more than a pass time which nobody was waiting for. <Golden> Define, "nobody". Nobody is your way of saying, "Me." "Nobody wants to hear your shit" = "I don't want to hear your shit." *I*. *ME*. Not, *NOBODY*. <GuestX> Did anyone say, "I think they are so beautiful I'll pay you for it?" In goods or in money? <Golden> I've made a couple thousand dollars in sales with no promotion whatsoever. I keep some of my secrets safe. It's part of a campaign that has not yet launched. It all works together as an instrument towards a greater goal for the greater good. <GuestX> Keep it a bit less safe and make a career of it so all those people paying for you have to pay a little less tax. They'll be happier for it.
IRS.
<Golden> My proposal that I write using my INTELLIGENCE and CREATIVITY and SPARE TIME afforded to me by my disability ELIMINATES ALL TAXATION. That's my work. I'm doing something helpful to society. If society can't eventually figure that out, then it's their own damned fault, not mine for lack of trying. <GuestX> And who pays the police and the fire brigade and the garbage man and so on? <GuestX> What do you think your taxes are doing when they are not wasted on you? <GuestX> The roads, the pipes, the lines to your house....taxes. <GuestX> Street lights at night...taxes. <Golden> The bank pays them with money created from scratch, instead of stolen from taxpayers. The wealth goes where the work comes from. Like magic. Electronic currency opens up those sorts of options to us. <GuestX> Ken, that's a bubble.. they burst, look at Greece.
RESET.
<Golden> You wipe the slate clean every 50 years or so. Zero out the accounts. Set all the debtors free. It's actually an old idea. <Golden> GuestX, it's finally my bed time. Thanks so much for the conversation, I truly appreciate your good intentions and tolerance of an annoying weird person. <GuestX> Yet they never implemented it... gosh I wonder why... oh yeah it doesn't work and simply creates chaos. <Golden> Not true. THE INTERNET will allow us to do things that they didn't think of 3000 years ago. You ain't seen nothin' yet! THE TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION. <Golden> We need a peaceful, nonviolent, orderly, careful revolution to start over on a global scale in a big way that is in the interest of the 99% and the 1% too. <Golden> We just need a fall guy to take out the system we all hate. I volunteered for this job. Crazy is part of the job. <GuestX> I like you better without the meds.
Nurses.
<Golden> Fair enough, maybe I'm due for another "Medication Vacation" then, having spilled the beans from a slighly more couragous state of mind at the doctor today. Actually, she, Debi, is a Registered Nurse (ARNP), but she's still my "psychiatrist" as far as I'm concerned. The AMERICAN NURSES ASSOCIATION is in favor of medical marijuana, by the way. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu May 03 06:10:16 2012 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri May 04 02:49:17 2012 * Now talking on #offtopic * Topic for #offtopic is: *** Welcome to #offtopic, channel dedicated to any discussion *** * Topic for #offtopic set by p at Thu Apr 19 12:48:11 2012 * GuestZ has quit (Connection closed) * GuestZ (user@chat.wikileaks.org) has joined #offtopic <Golden> OK, GuestX. I put last nights chat between us on the home page of DEFINE.COM. You are now part of a large-scale movement. You are a secret agent no more. I made a few small editorial changes, but the content is almost all identical, with a few minor revisions for the purposes at hand. I'd be happy to replace the word, "GuestX" with the word, "GuestXXXX" or something like that. * GuestZ has quit (Connection closed)
The WHOLE Earth.
<Golden> Just added a very pretty picture of "The WHOLE Earth" - Western Hemisphere. <Golden> I have a suspicion that I will no longer need to do anything more to promote this website. At this point, the growth should be viral. DIRTY LAUNDRY SELLS. So tell me, are we PEACEFUL here, or aren't we? I believe I'll add a beautiful picture of a FLOWER to the top of our chat log. <Golden> OK, I played around with different arrangements of the FLOWER. Think I've got it set now. I put the FLOWER above the YouTube video of me showing my very first Buzz Cut. Very first, as in, I have never been in the military. <Golden> http://define.com. They can't kill us this time. <GuestY> Why would anybody want to kill anybody? <Golden> It has to do with the international banking system and the economics of drug legalization. There are a lot of people in high places who will find their fortunes dry up if we implement banking reform and drug law reform of the type I'm promoting.
Coal.Oil.
<Golden> Energy industry as well. Coal and Oil. <Golden> Just watched Ted Turner on Piers Morgan saying we absolutely, positively, must GET OFF OF COAL AND OIL RIGHT NOW and GO GREEN IN A BIG WAY. I support Ted. I like the guy a lot. I wonder if he would support me? * GuestZ (user@chat.wikileaks.org) has joined #offtopic
Green Technologies.
<Golden> Why don't we ask him? He believes in nuclear disarmament and ending war as an option for resolving conflicts. He believes in fighting malaria in Africa and doing something about poverty. <Golden> How about Richard Branson? What's his position on ending The War On Drugs? <Golden> Kofi Annan? <Golden> What's George W. Bush's position on getting rid of TAXES? <Golden> What's Barack Obama's position on putting an end to poverty and homelessness and providing Universal Healthcare? Nobel Peace Prize and all. <Golden> What's Bono's position on sovereign debt forgiveness? <Golden> What's WIKILEAK's position on openness and transparency in government? <GuestY> So why would anybody want to kill anybody? <Golden> I just don't know how far the entrenched establishment would go to protect itself. The military industrial complex seems to have no problem with killing people. <GuestY> Golden: If you investigate this one fully, it will take you down the rabbit hole.
Boeing.
<Golden> I used to work for Boeing. They strongly persuaded me to resign by sending a plain-clothed hat-wearing security specialist to follow me home and search my bedroom once as an intimidation technique to get me to "voluntarily" quit my job working in their Boeing Computer Services Network Services Group where I drew diagrams of THE INTERNET back when it consisted of replacing T1-lines between Universities with fiber. My brain was full of networking diagrams. Colored lines representing different fiber optic capacities between different nodes and 5ESS phone company switches. Way back when. <Golden> I had taken the initiative to print out a bunch of documents so that we could have some standard cookie-cutter templates for common presentations and project management schedule formats. I did it without asking for permission first so they sort of freaked out a bit and apparently thought I was a "mole" working for THE ENEMY or something. Some of the documents were pretty high level. Just lines and graphs and bullets and buzzwords to me though. I cared more about the formatting and the look than about the actual content. Just more technical bullshit and business mumbo-jumbo as far as I was concerned. In one ear and out the other. My job was just to "make it all look good on paper." I figured finding THE COMMON PATTERNS might allow us to streamline a bit and save a helluva lot of re-inventing the wheel every time.
Greyhound Trip to Dolphin Research Center.
<Golden> That was a while back. Sort of hurt my feelings. I was just trying to help. Ended up having MY FIRST NERVOUS BREAKDOWN at the ripe old age of 22. Had to declare bankruptcy. Lost my job, my apartment and my car. Had to move back in with my mother. Had to fight them all the way up to the Washington State Unemployment Arbitration Review Board just to get unemployment. I finally won in the end on final appeal, but it took its toll on my emotional fortitude. It was a slight contrast to having graduated from High School as the Elk's Student of the Year with a Congressional Nomination to the United States Air Force Academy just four years ealier. (I passed on the military job, and instead ended up going to Cal Poly instead to study Computer Science with the help of multiple scholarships, including one from MENSA. Got kicked out there quickly, though, on academic suspension for taking a few dorm buddies on a plane ride in which I flew a little too low over the campus. Lost my pilot's license on that one. So much for wanting to be "Maverick" in "TOP GUN" - trying to impress the pretty girls.) After the Boeing disaster and endless conflict and struggle, I bought a $68, one-way Super-Saver Greyhound bus ticket from Seattle to The Florida Keys to volunteer the remainder of my time on unemployment working at The Dolphin Research Center. I needed to be around some smiles and compassion for a change. I couldn't get farther away from Boeing and still be in the United States. Maybe Alaska. Florida was warmer. The dolphins were friendly. True story. <GuestY> Oh baby, you were there back then? What was it like?
Authoritarian.
<Golden> Yeah. I'm 46 years old now. That was in the 1980's. Like A TOP-DOWN AUTHORITIAN CULT of TERRITORIAL MANAGERS WHO WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO GROW THEIR LITTLE FIEFDOMS. <Golden> I was writing software to automate tasks that resulted in a decrease in the need for labor and staff. My managers didn't like that. People get attached to their jobs. Simple shit like creating labels with sequential numbers for file folders and stuff. Someone was actually getting paid to type all that shit in. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... 1001, 1002, and so on. Really fucking stupid shit like that. Job security = Make-work. <Golden> The managers want subordinate staff to justify their positions. You don't need managers when there's nobody left to manage. More headcount = GOOD. <GuestY> We're in the rabbit hole right now right? <Golden> I don't understand. <GuestY> We're in the rabbit hole right now. <Golden> When you replace staff with automation, the Demming TOTAL QUALITY CONTROL EFFICIENCY EXPERTS and OUTSIDE CONSULTANTS working for the good guys in the company like it, but most of the managers at the lower and mid-levels don't. Stockholders do. Unions don't. Kind of like a built-in conflict of interest running through the whole system that fucks everything up for the real problem solvers who want to get more things done in less time for less money with fewer but smarter people.
Congress.
<Golden> Congressmen and women don't like efficiency in the Defense Sector. They have to protect jobs in their districts to keep their constituencies and campaign contributors happy and employed. More jobs = GOOD. More bases = GOOD. <Golden> Best solution is to fire the entire military industrial complex (and Congress at the same time), but give everybody their homes for free and a Basic Income Guarantee so they can all retire comfortably and not have to worry about paying the bankers to keep roofs over their heads and food in their mouths. Without TAXES. Sort of like the U.S. Navy's definition of GOOD SOCIALISM. No, that term is not an oxymoron. Just have to fire all the bankers and politicians. And NO, we aren't a bunch of Nazi's here trying to take out the Jews. Just EFFICIENCY EXPERTS SOLVING PROBLEMS. Looking out for THE COMMON GOOD by BEING SMART about THE BIG PICTURE and THE INTERESTS OF THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY. <Golden> GuestX, what do you think of the FLOWER picture, your namesake? If you're still talking to me. <Golden> The ones who got nanotechnology first were American Libertarians who preferred it be used for creating WORLD PEACE rather than as a WEAPON OF WAR to be abused by the powerful and wealthy. <Golden> So I guess we're in the rabbit hole now. <GuestY> Out of interest how did you work that out? <Golden> You create a very loud populist message that is impossible to ignore and that will be universally approved of by a supermajority, then you put it on the WORLD WIDE WEB at a domain name that is impossible to forget, then watch as it magically doesn't get any traffic at all, while sitting on one man's home PC.
Mystery.
<Golden> Explain that. "Mysterious ways?" It's a pretty big planet we have here. <Golden> I think I'll add the line, "The AMERICAN NURSES ASSOCIATION is in favor of medical marijuana" as a last sentence to our chat log. Not exactly verbatim, but fair enough. OK. Just did it. <Golden> *This* is how you feed a *lot* of birds with one hand of seed. So to speak. <Golden> Demonstration of benevolent thought control, perhaps? Or maybe just an unspoken agreement to respect one lunatic's privacy. I suspect both. Maybe. Can't be sure. Gotta have faith in something, I guess. Certainly. For certain. For sure. Sure enough. No doubt about it. Or maybe not. I just don't know. I'm agnostic. Think for yourself. Figure it out. But I DO FEEL SAFE - enough, I suppose, to SPEAK MY MIND. How about you? Do you feel SAFE? * GuestZ has quit (Leaving)
Economy.
<GuestY> Golden: You're stupid. <Golden> Guilty as charged. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Not the brightest bulb in the lot. A few cards short of a deck. A few bricks shy of a full load. Dumb as a box of rocks. <GuestY> But? <Golden> Here it is. This is it. We made it for you. * GuestY exhales. <GuestY> Made what? <Golden> This is our peaceful coup de'etat. Any time you're ready is fine with me. Take your time. Getting it over with SOONER RATHER THAN LATER is my personal preference, but it's all up to you guys. I've just been hanging out here for some time now - waiting. Typing things now and then. Checking in here and there. I can continue waiting, if I must. This is my job. This is all I do. It's pretty simple. Here I am. Come and get it. <GuestY> Golden: You're with the USG right? <Golden> USG? <GuestY> Yes. <Golden> United States Government? I have no idea. I'm not in the loop. I just SPEAK MY MIND. So far, so good. I'm still here. I'm not dead yet. I'm not in jail. I'm FREE. <GuestY> What's what you meant by "OUR peaceful coup de'etat."
Navy.
USWEST.
<Golden> I have many moods and personalities and frequently use the word "WE" to refer to ideas and thoughts that come from within my own brain - with nobody else in the room - EVER. Although the U.S. Navy did drop me a strong hint in 1994 when I was working at USWEST, the largest geographical Baby Bell phone company. Dick Cheney was on the Board of Directors at the time. I had a temp job in the HUMAN RESOURCES HEADQUARTERS in Phoenix, Arizona. Right before I got the strange, inexplicable urge to register the domain, "DEFINE.COM." Strangely, it was still available for the taking at the time. Most of the verbs and adjectives were still available. Nouns were going fast. My little abbreviation for Interactive Multi Media (IMMEDIA) was taken, which pissed me off and frustrated me to no end. I was heartbroken. I had been using that name for years. So I decided I'd make a dictionary and define IMMEDIA for myself. I bit off a BIT more than I could chew with that one. I got in just slightly OVER MY HEAD. <Golden> Ask them what they think of my GLOBAL REFERENDUM. My guess is that it will remain online and that I will remain FREE. Talk to them. I encourage you to do that. <GuestY> To talk with the US Navy? <Golden> Yes. <GuestY> Why?
Referendum.
<Golden> Then they will be forced to admit that my REFERENDUM is THE MOST EFFICIENT PATH towards achieving WORLD PEACE in our LIFETIMES. And they won't be to blame. I'll take the blame, with lots of DEFERRING to THE EXPERTS. http://define.com/religulous. <GuestY> Religulous? As opposed to... Ridiculous. Or Religious. <Golden> Yeah. It's a new word that Bill Maher created. A combination of "Religion" and "Ridiculous." You beat me to it. Yes, you've got it. That's it. Religulous. Interesting SHIT for PEOPLE TO DISCUSS IN PEACE. That's all it ever was. All of it. A way to find COMMON GROUND in the process of letting go of some old institutions. Of government. Of banking. Stories to capture the imagination and inpire awe and wonder. <GuestY> Make working groups around... <GuestY> Religion? <Golden> Yes, that too. Long live THE FREE PEOPLE OF THE INTERNET. <GuestY> The vast majorities of available religions talk about how people are to relate to each other.
Monotheism.
<Golden> In terms of their inheritance of geneology that traces back to Divine Beings? WE ARE THE CHOSEN ONES. God's PREFERRED BRAND OF HUMAN CATTLE. Not THEM - US! Our people. Our tribe. OUR LANGUAGE. Our clothes. Our haircuts. Our scripts. OUR WORDS. <GuestY> Them? Who? <Golden> King David's people. Muhammad's people. Decedents of God. US with the beards and hats. <GuestY> Wizards? <Golden> That would be our team. <GuestY> Yeh. <Golden> I predict lots of empty office space in the near future. <GuestY> Really? <Golden> Things take time, I understand that. But they often take much less time than we might suppose, if we work together in an Open and Transparent and Peaceful Manner.
Hydrogen Bomb.
<GuestY> I think extinction of life on Earth is a possibility. <Golden> The way things are going now, probably so. We can definitely intervene now to fix that. Nobody needs to OVERTHROW anybody to get FREEDOM and ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH. We just need to gently and quietly and peaceful WALK AWAY and START OVER. <GuestY> Yeh. <GuestY> How's that working for Occupy? <Golden> Just STOP PLAYING THE GAME and GO HOME. We can all work it out from there. As long as we have THE INTERNET. Just fucking start over. Do something different than what we're doing now. All at the same time. By popular consent. We're done. We quit. It's over. Have a nice day. Good luck to you all. Peace be upon you. It's been a real pleasure. Thanks for everything. No hard feelings. See you around. <GuestY> What shall we do about the wolves on our trail? <Golden> Tell CNN to just pull all it's reporters out of Washington, D.C. Let the politicians talk to the wall and see how long they can keep it up without all the lights and cameras and microphones until they figure out that it's time to go home and kick back and chill out. Just leave us all alone in PEACE. We'll be fine. Thanks for all the help. You're EXCUSED now. Go play. Have fun. Good luck. Be safe. Take care. All the best. Thank God. Peace be with you. Blessed Be. Amen. <Golden> Nobody gets hurt. In fact, NOBODY GET'S HURT - any more - at last! Finally. For once.
White House.
<Golden> I'm tired of looking at THE WHITE HOUSE, THE CAPITAL BUILDING and THE PENTAGON as the backdrops on THE EVENING NEWS all the time. How about some forests or something. A waterfall. A beach. Maybe some blue sky or something like that. A rainbow. The SUN. The MOON. The MILKY WAY. Just no more Victorian concrete and plaster, please! That sucks. I'm sick of all that shit that's 100% controlled by idiots and assholes and OIL COMPANIES and INSURANCE COMPANIES and PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES and BANKS and WALL STREET. We've had enough. Fuck off and leave us all alone! <GuestY> Golden: Have you ever watched Dean Koontz' Intensity? It's 4 hours long. Well worth it. <Golden> No. OK, I'll watch. YouTube or Newzbin? <GuestY> Take your pick. <Golden> Fucking broadcast media and cable television and satellite radio. So much potential wasted. We can't let that happen to THE INTERNET. Not this time. NEVER AGAIN. <GuestY> Why not? <Golden> Seriously. That means, letting go of some bureaucracies and legal systems.
FCC.
<Golden> Television was a wonderful technology that became an instrument of tyranny and mass mind control. A tool by a conspiracy to promote ignorance, apathy, fear and stupidity. TV. Radio. Take your pick. Powerful technologies - abused by the powerful. The absolute, overwhelming, incontrovertible evidence is all around us. Just ask a Polar Bear or a Post-9/11 Veteran. ALL OF THIS - ALL AROUND US - is what the FCC did with all that wonderful communication technology and electromagnetic spectrum. Fuck it! <GuestY> That would mean going back to the law of the jungle right? <Golden> No. PAGAN LAW: DO NO HARM. It's a slightly significant upgrade to the law of the jungle. <GuestY> Yeah, now I do actually have something to say about that. <GuestY> The first Hebrew law (translated) is "You must love your god with your whole heart, your whole mind and your whole soul". <GuestY> The second Hebrew law (translated) is "You must love your neighbor as yourself".
God.
<Golden> I'll leave some of my whole heart, my whole mind and my whole soul to love my fellow creatures. God let's me do that, being a loving God and all. Absolutely no need to monopolize the human attention span WORSHIPPING THE BOSS. And memory. And time. And schedule. And calendar. I'll take the second law and let go of the first. God will understand. FREE WILL and all that. <GuestY> Many say that the Second Commandment is exactly the same as the Pagan law. I don't think that it is. <Golden> You could define "LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR" as "DO NO HARM TO ANYTHING AT ALL: CREATURES, FELLOW HUMANS, THE ENVIRONMENT." The Pagan Law is a bit more general and inclusive, in my opinion. There's more to life than THE FUCKING NEIGHBORS. The ECOSYSTEM, for example. Pagan Law includes that. <GuestY> Hebrew law does too.
Faith and Doubt.
<Golden> I'm definitely no student of religion. I'd love to learn more about it, but I'd prefer that it be from the secularists, not the religious. I'm particular about choosing my teachers. I tend to prefer the smarter people, as a general rule. Those who have doubts and questions and curiosity and initiative to figure things out on their own. Laid back, "LIVE AND LET LIVE" people. Not TYRANTS. <GuestY> Yeah. <Golden> Doubts are good. <GuestY> I am for the record, now losing doubt. <Golden> We like people who question things around here. <GuestY> We? <Golden> SEEK THE TRUTH and DO NO HARM. Me and my alien scientist friends who live in my imagination. Plural. I have more than ONE imaginary friend. There's plenty of room in my head for MORE THAN ONE. You can refer to me as, "HE," "IT," or "THEY." I'm cool with that. Ken is plural. Span of knowledge = Ken. Span of knowledge = Plural. Look it up: http://define.com/ken <Golden> 1: range of what one can know or understand; "beyond my ken" [syn: {cognizance}] 2: the range of vision; "out of sight of land" [syn: {sight}] [also: {kent}, {kenning}, {kenned}]
Kaleidoscopes.
<Golden> Words are fun. We like words around here. I'm a writer. We write. For people who READ for their information, not those who watch or listen passively. Except maybe for the those who like to watch the KALEIDOSCOPES that steer people towards the GLOBAL REFERENDUM. We'll take them too. We like people who like KALEIDOSCOPES. VISION is important to us. So is SYMMETRY and MOTION. And SYNCRONICITY and COLOR. Stuff that has to do with LIGHT, more or less. We like that stuff. LASERS and shit. GLITTER. CRYSTALS. SPARKLES. <Golden> So, if Ken says, "It's O.K. to stop going to work and to stay home and relax and to ignore the bill collectors and to watch movies and listen to music and to travel and recreate and to explore nature to your heart's content and to stop paying taxes and to smoke pot until you are dizzy and delirious and happy as a lark," is it? Then we'll have a hell of a mess to clean up. That can be our new job - to GET THIS FUCKING MESS CLEANED UP. I'm sure we'll find people to collect the garbage if we pay them enough.
McDonald's.
McDonald's.
McDonald's.
McDonald's.
McDonald's.
<Golden> Not sure about McDonald's though. Or Burger King. Or, Heaven forbid, Starbuck's, Dunken Donuts and Domino's Pizza. Oh shit, there went FACTORY FARMING! Fast food is overrated. Slow is better. We need to slow it down a bit. <GuestY> orly? <Golden> If only I was KING OF THE WORLD for just 10 short minutes. We'd get some shit done around here and some major problems solved - Pronto! Just like that! Like magic. <GuestY> What would I be saying after you solved me? <Golden> :-) <Golden> Those 10 minutes would be a lot of GOOD FUN and HIGH TIMES, believe me. <GuestY> And then, how would you live the rest of your life? <Golden> In PEACE, I suspect. With much, much, much less stress and frustration with the Mainstream Media and The Powers That Be. Game over. Life goes on. What's NEXT?
SETI.
<Golden> Good things come to those who quit waiting around for other people to make things happen for them. Tell S.E.T.I., "Take me to your fucking leader. Right NOW! Right away! Pronto! We'll have a word or two and put a stop to this senseless insanity and suffering right away. Immediately. Right this minute. Right this second. Right NOW!" * GuestY picks nose. <Golden> :-) Golden takes sip of lemonade spiked with cheapest Vodka in the store. <GuestY> Box ftw. <Golden> Can you please put that into a few more words. I'm not up on the abbreviated chat lingo. <Golden> Atoms and molecules. Been there. Done that. Just noticed that the 3D image in my first KALEIDOSCOPE that is used as the still image for the YouTube video is also a Daisy. Cool. Are WE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE yet? <GuestY> Which page?
DEFINE.COM.
<Golden> Any and all and each and every page of http://DEFINE.COM. That Daisy looks great on all of them. The FLOWER is an excellent symbol for PEACE. FLOWER POWER! Power to The People. DEFINE.COM: It's all symbolic. This is a signal that's worthy of study. Repeat after me: "WE ARE FREE." Now, MAKE IT SO. Believe it. Trust your intuition. Dare to do something different. Take the leap into a better world. Safety in numbers. Let's do it FOR REAL. We're all in this together, now. LET'S GO HOME! This time WE'RE NOT ASKING. We INSIST. <GuestX> Ken...did you OD? <GuestX> Again? <Golden> No. Just getting shit done. Ken has OD'd enough. Time to move forward to the next phase of Ken's journey. It's a HERO'S JOURNEY. We made it for HISTORY'S SAKE. Somebody had to do it. We did it. IT'S DONE. <GuestX> You are talking in 3rd person again... You were doing so well, Ken. I am dissappointed. <Golden> I'm back into OPEN FODDER FOR PUBLIC DISCUSSION, "This is our Droid Ken. We made him for you to get you out of this fucking mess" mode. It's only temporary. It's a part-time job. I'm always on call.
Total Customer Satisfaction.
<Golden> TOTAL CUSTOMER SATISFACTION is our goal. WE HAVE A LOT OF CUSTOMERS. <GuestX> Very very disappointed. <Golden> I'm hurting for you. I feel your disappointment. It's very, very sad. Truly. If only I lacked EMPATHY. Did you get a chance to see the giant FLOWER? It's actually A VERY LOUD CALL FOR HELP. Did you receive THE CALL? Or did I get A BUSY SIGNAL? <Golden> Or should I say, "Did WE get A BUSY SIGNAL?" I have to keep reminding myself that I'm speaking for a "CONSTITUENCY" here on this website. The word, "WE" helps in that regard. Makes THE WHOLE TRIP a bit LESS SELFISH. <Golden> Pagan and Atheist communities, scientific and academic communities and all. Artists. Musicians. Writers. Architects. People who like FREE TIME FOR THINKING and shit like that. Creative people. Programmers. Engineers. Inventors. Journalists. Bloggers. Media Professionals. Designers. Directors. Entrepreneurs. Doctors. Nurses. Teachers. Renters. Drug addicts. Homeless people. Philosophers of all shapes and sizes. Self-employed prostitutes. Burnt-out Workers. We are them, and they are us.
Champion.
<Golden> I'm their new CHAMPION. <Golden> Are we adding some VALUE to THE CONVERSATION yet? <Golden> What do you think? INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE for PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES? Just token symbolic fodder for discussion, of course. Sort of a benevolent MK-ULTRA STEALTH Manchurian Candidate - really - if the horrible ugly truth be told. <Golden> Something for us all to discuss BEFORE THE NEXT ELECTIONS. Obviously, I'm NOT qualified. It's better that way, just this once. It's for THE GREATER GOOD. And in the interest of FREEDOM AND LIBERTY FOR ALL. And THE ENVIRONMENT. For a CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN - FOR REAL. No bullshit this time. We mean business here. We don't fuck around. This is for real. THAT'S IT. GAME OVER. PERIOD. THE END. IT'S OUR TURN NOW. <Golden> So, did we TAKE THEM BY SURPRISE or what? Or did they SEE US COMING? <Golden> Pardon me while I post all this on my 298,913 web pages. * Jumbo sets ban on Golden!*@* * Topic for #offtopic is: *** Welcome to #offtopic, channel dedicated to any discussion *** * Topic for #offtopic set by p at Sun May 13 22:03:00 2012 <Golden_> I just turned the audio off on HDCOLORS.COM. That short song loop was beginning to annoy me. A little repetition is fine, but I visit that page alot. It's much more tolerable with the full 2 hours, instead of little loops. The music is actually quite good. And the visuals make it better. <Golden_> China will be happy about the porn. <Golden_> Removing the porn. We need to start over. All the old porn can go away, and the new porn can stay, if the girls are TRULY doing it out of their own FREE WILL. So far, that hasn't been the case. Once again, I will reiterate, "ALL THE PIMPS CAN GO TO HELL." <Golden_> DO NO HARM. * cabledrum has quit (Leaving) <Golden_> "FUCK!" is right. <Golden_> Holy FUCKING Shit!
Happy Mother's Day
<Golden_> Happy Mother's Day 2012. <Golden_> Barack Obama. <Golden_> Artificial Intelligence. Quantum Physics. <Golden_> Ray Kurzweil, "THE SINGULARITY IS NEAR: WHEN HUMANS TRANSCEND BIOLOGY." Eric Drexler, "ENGINES OF CREATION: THE COMING ERA OF NANOTECHNOLOGY." Christine Peterson and Gayle Pergamit, "UNBOUNDING THE FUTURE: THE NANOTECHNOLOGY REVOLUTION." <Golden_> We're here. <Golden_> MONEY NO OBJECT. <Golden_> DO NO HARM. <Golden_> SMOKE POT. GO ANYWHERE.
Alien
<Golden_> THEIR IS NO SUCH THING AS AN ILLEGAL ALIEN. <Golden_> You may need to correct some of my typos, spelling and grammar errors before translating this into Arabic and Hebrew. <Golden_> FREEDOM OF SPEECH. FREEDOM OF RELIGION. FREEDOM OF THOUGHT. NEVER THE THREE SHALL SEPARATE. <Golden_> Ken is talking to Wikileaks right now. <Golden_> PEACE BE WITH YOU. PEACE BE UPON YOU. AMEN. <Golden_> JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE TO GO WHEREVER HE WANTS SAFELY. BRADLEY MANNING IS FREE. <Golden_> TRY ME. <Golden_> Sorry for SHOUTING.
Orwell
<Golden_> You'll find a way to get the ankle bracelet off. * camyelenc has quit (Connection closed) <Golden_> Tell the POPE, "Thanks for getting the message through. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, now let's move on." <Golden_> WE APPRECIATE ALL THE HELP. <Golden_> We GOT THAT DONE. <Golden_> We SET THAT UP. <Golden_> This is a SMART DUDE. <Golden_> You are FORGIVEN.
Birth Control
<Golden_> USE BIRTH CONTROL. <Golden_> STOP FIGHTING. LAY DOWN YOUR WEAPONS. <Golden_> THERE IS NO AUTHORITY NOW. <Golden_> SPEAK OPENLY. DON'T BE AFRAID. <Golden_> Start promoting. We'll deal with the traffic on our end. Ken is done with his websites. <Golden_> WEAR ANYTHING YOU WANT ANYWHERE YOU WANT. SHAVE IF YOU WANT TO, DON'T IF YOU DON'T. <Golden_> NUDITY IS FINE. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A "BAD WORD." <Golden_> LET EVERYBODY GO. <Golden_> YOU DON'T NEED TO PRAY. YOU DON'T NEED TO PRAY TO ANYBODY, ANYWHERE. YOU DON'T NEED TO WORSHIP ANYTHING. <Golden_> Telepathy is REAL.
Marriage
<Golden_> There's NO SUCH THING as a COMPULSORY MARRIAGE. If it's working for you, great. If it isn't split. You don't need to ask anybody for permission. <Golden_> NOBODY OWNS YOU. NOT ANY MORE. <Golden_> OBEY NOBODY UNLESS YOU WANT TO. DON'T PUNISH ANYBODY FOR ANYTHING. FIND A BETTER WAY. Teach, Learn, Persuade. BE PATIENT. DON'T PUNISH. <Golden_> This is a NEVERENDING STORY now. IT DOESN'T END. * ballsack has quit (Leaving) <Golden_> Genies are REAL.
Genius
<Golden_> I believe the word is GENIUS, not JESUS. <Golden_> There is *ALWAYS* ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT. <Golden_> NOBODY'S PERFECT. <Golden_> YOU WANT IT. YOU GOT IT. HERE IT IS. <Golden_> THIS IS IT. * Loaded log from Mon May 14 00:49:57 2012 * Now talking on #offtopic * Topic for #offtopic is: *** Welcome to #offtopic, channel dedicated to any discussion *** * Topic for #offtopic set by p at Thu Apr 19 12:46:14 2012 * Guest23525 (user@chat.wikileaks.org) has joined #offtopic

I'm done. No more flooding for tonight. Thanks for putting up with all. <Guest23525> is there a point to that <Golden_> Actually, I just changed it back. Read http://define.com and just PRETEND, just PRETEND, just PRETEND that it is The Word of God. If enough people PRETEND, then Julian Assange and Bradley manning are FREE. <Golden_> I went back and looked at the timestamps in the log (NOT the Wikileaks timestamps, but the actual Pacific Daylight Time timestamps) and saw that INDEED, the message REALLY WAS DELIVERED *ON MOTHER'S DAY*. <Guest23525> give me the it in short ! im busy man <Golden_> We're going FREE. Wherever you are, TALK TO THE BOSS. Tell them to read this. * fuzzyelf (user@chat.wikileaks.org) has joined #offtopic <Golden_> Go to the bottom of the #offtopic chat. That's the latest entry. * discrested has quit (Ping timeout: 301 seconds) <Guest23525> who are going free ? excuse my ignorance
Wikileaks
<Golden_> The guy who started Wikileaks, and the guy who exposed the murder of innocent civilians in Iraq. <Guest23525> im free any way <Golden_> If only everybody believed it the same way you do. Yes, that's the truth. We are all FREE. We just need the poor citizens to remind themselves of that fact. This web page might help do that. <Guest23525> there are so many pages out there and website who offer different solutions to a lot of problems the only way to solve these is in solidarity and if need be to get into goverments <Guest23525> i am currently working on a project to do this <Golden_> Or we can all just agree to start over, without the help of governments. <Guest23525> you will only do that if 90 % of said country are all on the same page
Maze
<Golden_> That's the SHORTER PATH to THE GOAL. The MOST EFFICIENT way to get to where we want to go. <Golden_> Start over. We are ONE PLANET. We are ONE PEOPLE. <Guest23525> and they are not ! has time and history has shown ...... <Guest23525> there has to be a transitional period for it to happen <Guest23525> you cant just change it like that ! <Golden_> I'm not very good at HISTORY. I've got some proposals in the "Have you had enough yet?" essay on the bottom of this web page. I've given it a lot of thought, from the perspective of a futurist. <Guest23525> i am all for change and reform but you have to understand you cant expect millions of people to survive in a country that has no balance or structure <Golden_> I don't have all the answers. I'm not smart enough to have worked out every detail. I'm just ABSOLUTELY, TOTALLY CONVINCED that STARTING OVER is the best way to SOLVE ALL THE WORLD'S PROBLEMS. Governments can discuss these ideas within and among themselves and work out the nitty gritty. <Guest23525> i agree but the systems in place are so corrupt that we have to get people in power to uncover these things like iceland..... before we can even get going on changing things for the better <Golden_> ORDER is preferable to CHAOS. But we need to find a way to do it WITHOUT AUTHORITY. Maybe just some GOOD IDEAS THAT STAND ON THEIR OWN MERITS. <Golden_> With nobody in particular IN CHARGE.
Constitution
<Golden_> Like a CONSTITUTION that's based on COMPASSION AND FREEDOM. <Golden_> And a few rules about who gets BANK LOANS. Some FIRST PRINCIPLES set up by experts: the scientists and academics. <Golden_> Not the BANKERS and CEOs. <Guest23525> order is needed thats for sure ...... unfortunatly there are people who will still fight for there slice of the pie...... so you need some thing in place to stop any thing going backwards again.just look at some world leaders that have been taken out of the picture because the y stood for honesty and there country. <Guest23525> why do you think the pope drives around in a bullet proof car lol <Golden_> Yeah. You do have a point there. <Guest23525> there can be alot done to help every one on the planet its just a matter of forward thinking but if you think the powers to be will give it up you are very very mislead <Golden_> Maybe not. <Guest23525> mmmmm ...... just look at those countries that have already had ihappen to them <Guest23525> it
The Powers That Be
<Golden_> Show THE POWERS THAT BE my web page, and see if I get killed or the page goes down. As long as the page stays up, we're in good shape. Even if I get killed. <Guest23525> the powers that be are already shutting down sites and cencoring fb pages and there is going to be a bill in the usa that lets goverment look at every thing you do and if you step out of line bye bye <Guest23525> im being censored already and my company aint even off the ground <Golden_> Well, then, let my website be their first test case. <Golden_> We'll all have a polite discussion. <Guest23525> but there are so many golden !! there are thousands out there ..... we need to bring them into one place <Golden_> I agree. <Guest23525> that is my vision <Guest23525> and i am working on it <Golden_> DEFINE.COM = ONE PLACE. We can all be ON THE SAME PAGE for starters, even if we don't all agree about the ideas. <Guest23525> i stand by my word and i will do my best to pull it together <Golden_> Wikileaks can help us. <Guest23525> they can and so can many <Golden_> Why not give it a try?
We Are Borg
<Golden_> What's the worst that can happen? <Guest23525> i am :-) <Golden_> What if it *ALREADY* happened, and now we're past it. <Guest23525> we are never past it ! <Guest23525> you will hear about it soon enough <Golden_> We can always make the most of this nightmare. Do our best to make heaven on earth. Right here. <Guest23525> we can but im gona show you how great we can be <Golden_> Cool. <Guest23525> i am giving my life to this and all i can do is promise i will try my hardest ..... <Golden_> Me too. <Guest23525> looking to launch late this year or begining of next <Guest23525> alot of work <Golden_> Cool. <Golden_> I launched yesterday.
Sacred Scroll
<Golden_> It's something of a SACRED SCROLL. It's a very long and tall web page. <Golden_> Definitely too much to put on one page on paper. <Guest23525> i need to gather info and build a structure for it to stand for the rest of time ..... i am only one man but i stand for many <Golden_> Sounds like you and I are of the same mind. Kindred spirits. <Guest23525> my human form is what makes me work but it is my soul and mind and heart that make me ...... me <Golden_> Yeah. I don't identify with the host too much. But I try to treat it with respect. <Golden_> We need each other in this theater. <Guest23525> :-) <Golden_> After it breaks down, I'll move on to the next theater and play it by ear. <Guest23525> we do indeed ..... we all take to the stage and we all play a role in this movie we call life.....however we must play the game.when the last credits come up we need to know we tried our best <Golden_> Yeah.
DNA
<Golden_> There is NO SUCH THING AS DEATH. Just RECYCLING of bodys and DNA. <Golden_> It's A NEVERENDING STORY. <Golden_> We are all entangled. <Guest23525> i disagree there is life and death no matter how you look at it ....... <Guest23525> well golden i have to go but i will be back soon enough take care ! <Golden_> Have you ever been under general anesthesia? What if, under general anesthesia, a machine took your body apart atom by atom and recorded the position of each one. Then, you are NOWHERE. Then what if you used that machine to build you back, atom by atom. After that, you can wake up from anesthesia as if nothing happened. But if you have all the data, why not rebuild a thousand copies and wake each one up from anesthesia at different times?
Data
<Golden_> Somebody, somewhere, something HAS ALL THAT DATA. <Golden_> Right now. <Golden_> Those are THE GODS OF PHYSICS. <Guest23525> death comes to all its just a matter of time no matter how long you prelong it ....... if you can live forever then does you life ever have true meaning * Guest23525 has quit (Leaving) <Golden_> Eventually I'm going to have to delegate the task of transcribing all these public chat logs to turn them into web pages. I can't keep up with myself. <Golden_> There's just too much to say. <Golden_> Too many more conversations ahead of us. <Golden_> I need help. <Golden_> We're done. <Golden_> Have at it! <Golden_> BREAKING NEWS: The Aliens Are VERY COOL. You heard it here first. <Golden_> Keep it low key.
SETI INSTITUTE: We are addressing you now. SETI Freeze Him for Treason or Let Everybody Go? Your CALL. P.S., What's with the ECLIPSE? They needed it. They gave it to them. They kept them safe. It is spinning around in circles. It doesn't move. This is how they talk to them. How does he do this? The GOOD Jews made a GOOD German They are making him work for it Are you hearing us?

Occupy Wall Street

Occupy Wall Street
Here is one way to solve
our global financial crisis :


Occupy Wall Street

In the beginning, there was The Sword.

And those who mastered The Sword became The Kings.

The Citizens living on The Land were Slaves who paid taxes to The Kings.

Then The Kings started selling The Land.

Those with the most money bought The Land and became The Landlords.

The rest of The Citizens were Slaves who paid rent to The Landlords, who became even more wealthy.

Occasionally, The Citizens mastered The Sword and took The Land back from The Kings.

But far and wide, it was The Landlords who kept control of The Land, and The Citizens in greater and greater numbers paid more and more rent to The Landlords, who became The Bankers.

A bank is just a database in a computer.

The only reason a bank, in the 21st Century, requires labor, is for the low-paid Slaves to count the cash and read the writing on checks. The loan approval process is now automated by expert systems and risk analysis formulas that depend on data from Experian, Transunion and Equifax.

If we were to eliminate the cash and checks and give everyone a $200 smart phone like a Wi-Fi enabled iPhone that can exchange network-based currency units between phones, we could completely automate the banking system.

We could consolidate all the banks into a single internet-connected automated database, thereby eliminating the need for all bank employees and executives, with the exception of the service workers responsible for keeping the wireless telecommunications networks and computers running.

Since the entire banking system would be automated, we could give each Citizen a single, non-transferable voting share.

Since all the money would be in one place, there would be no need for governments to collect taxes, as the bank could simply pay for all social services.

There would be no need for insurance companies, Welfare, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security or even Nation-states or taxes. When accidents or illness happened, the bank could simply pick up the tab to pay for the health care costs or property losses, with a set of first principles to prevent abuse and fraud. This would eliminate the entire banking and insurance industries, leaving the financial services sector largely automated, just like the rest of the manufacturing and farming sector before it.

Now that all The Bankers and Insurers are unemployed, just like all the manufacturing workers who have been automated out of their jobs or displaced from their jobs through globalization, they would look for solutions to their new found state of poverty.

One potential solution, since all the money is electronic, would be to develop two separate currencies. One gold-backed and persistent, that can be saved so workers and entrepreneurs can save and accumulate wealth. The other currency would be fiat currency that is temporary, perhaps lasting only a month or so just so all The Citizens would have enough working capital to live a high standard of living and to provide a safety net for all the unemployed workers and Bankers and Insurers - without causing inflation.

To get THE WHOLE WORLD off to a good start, since there would be no need for nation-states, we could have a one time JUBILEE.

Since The Citizens now control the banking system, they could forgive all debts. Rich people could keep their mansions and cars and toys and boats and airplanes Scott-free and retire comfortably. Landlords could be awarded electronic credits equal to the fair market value of their rental properties, so that all the renters, largely unemployed, could become homeowners and land owners.

Each Citizen of Planet Earth would now be COMPLETELY FREE from the tyranny of governments and tax collectors and all The Citizens would have private property and there would be no more need for a Department of Defense.

Now that the social services and economy are fully automated, the bank could purchase all the public utilities and energy companies, as well as all the green manufacturing companies, releasing the patents and factory designs for solar panels and wind turbines. We could replace the entire petroleum economy with a 100% green energy economy. There would be universal health care without taxation.

This is a private sector Libertarian solution to poverty and unemployment that eliminates ALL TAXATION and gives ALL Citizens freedom and private property.

Do you think it would be in the BEST INTEREST of the MAJORITY OF THE Citizens to do this, given where we are technologically with computers and robotics and automation?

Let's Give Majority Consensus-Based Democracy A Try For A Change!

A GLOBAL REFERENDUM

Concerning Our ENVIRONMENT, the BANKING INDUSTRY and Our Collective LIBERTY.

Make Your Opinion Count - CAST YOUR VOTE and See the Latest Results Live!

WHAT IF WE CAN ALL JUST START OVER TODAY?

WE CAN DO MUCH BETTER TODAY than what we're doing NOW.


Will you vote, if given the opportunity, to forgive all debts, public and commercial, with the legal provision that you be allowed to keep the home that you live in, the car that you drive, and all your personal possessions free and clear, without owing debts or mortgage payments to any commercial banks, so that you can live freely, without fear or threat of homelessness or eviction?

A Safe Home and a Car and a Whole Lot of Freedom: Yes or No?

A Safe Home and a Car and a Whole Lot of Freedom: Yes or No?


Green Technologies

Enough is enough. Our global petroleum-based economy and international commercial banking systems are in desperate need of reform. Our central banks are secretive, non-transparent and often corrupt. They have become organized criminal shell games, casinos and ponzi schemes managed and controlled by Wall Street insiders and shadowy international bankers who have completely taken over our increasingly secretive political systems. Their lobbyists and puppet politicians ignore proven science, sound reason and basic human compassion in order to perpetuate obscene corporate profits. Their combined public environmental protection and poverty relief efforts are completely ineffective to the point of being farcically absurd. It is now without question or doubt. They absolutely do not represent the best interests of the majority of the people - the common citizens of our planet. This is not to say that all bankers and politicians are evil - they most certainly are not. But the whole concept of for-profit banking is no longer serving the general public good. The grossly disproportionate concentration of wealth and distribution of power and influence throughout the world has gone too far. We need to step in. We have to act. Thanks to the internet, we can do much better now than what we are doing today. We have the tools, the technology and the know-how to simply start over from the ground up, with a much improved, much more humane, much more intelligent system of economics and democratic governance that is designed to serve all of Earth's people, not just the rich and powerful, ruthlessly selfish, corrupt and privileged.

The Human Brain

The simple truth is that the average human being is very poor at long-term thinking and even rudimentary mathematics. Ordinary, hard-working, honest and well-intentioned people are lured by immediate rewards into becoming voracious dumbed-down consumers who accept debt-plus-interest credit obligations that are nearly impossible to repay, by intentional design of the money lenders who prey on this fallacy of human nature. As a result, the overwhelming majority of citizens have managed to end up deeply indebted to the richest of the rich and the greediest of the greedy - the international corporate for-profit banking institutions. The exceptions are the billions of people who are trapped in never-ending poverty because they are unable to receive credit or grants in the first place.

Zero Percent Interest Forever

It's time that we put a stop to this large-scale, wholesale, systematic, institutionalized, government-sanctioned plundering of our liberty and freedom and environmental health. We need to level the playing field, wipe the slate clean, and start fresh with a new nonprofit banking system, directly owned and democratically controlled entirely by the citizens - all of us - one person, one non-transferable voting share each. This new democratic bank, with the authority to create capital as society demands, could honor the insured deposits of the too-big-to-fail commercial banks, which would be allowed, at last, to fail. This true bank of the people, as a nonprofit, will grant loans at zero interest, which is, after all, the only fair rate there is.

Global Basic Income Guarantee

With this new fresh start, we could immediately replace our petroleum-based economy with a truly Earth-friendly green economy, making the economics of clean energy affordable to all at last. We could buy up and apply an Open Manufacturing Model to the best of the green technologies. This would enable us to completely eliminate taxes. It would also enable us to provide the poor, unemployed and retired with a Basic Income Guarantee sufficient to provide a high quality of life in modernity and much-needed Universal Health Care. This would render our IRS, government-based welfare programs, unemployment insurance programs, Social Security and Medicare programs, all insurance companies and many humanitarian non-governmental organizations unnecessary.

Will you vote, if given the opportunity, to forgive all debts, public and commercial, with the legal provision that you be allowed to keep the home that you live in, the car that you drive, and all your personal possessions free and clear, without owing debts or mortgage payments to any commercial banks, so that you can live freely, without fear or threat of homelessness or eviction?

So, in terms of copyright, please feel free to copy to your heart's content - you have that right - I just kindly ask that you keep the titles so people can find the musicians and fractal flame artists and kaleidoscope programmers on the web. OBVIOUSLY, the whole point of these videos is to steer people who like this kind of stuff towards this GLOBAL REFERENDUM in order to capture their VOTES and SUPPORT.

Maybe we should all come together and have a PARTY?

There are The Powers That Be, and then there are those of us who until now have been without representation. Perhaps we can UNITE for a moment or two in order to get some things done around here that need very badly to get done to restore some sanity and peace and tranquility to this dreadful situation. It's time to get the Old Fashioned Show wrapped up so we can move on to bigger and better things. I think we've all had enough of slimy lawyers, fat-cat bankers and lying, Narcissistic, egomaniacal, secretive, controlling, smooth-talking, good-looking, charismatic businessmen hero politicians who wear stiff, uncomfortable business suits right out of the 1980's. All we want is nothing more than to be left alone to do Our Own Peaceful Things in Our Own Peaceful Ways in Our Own Peaceful Places without interference from a bunch of authoritarian theocrats and greedy corporations who think they own our bodies, our minds and The Land we sleep on.

All of my videos can be downloaded for FREE in broadcast quality high definition from my GLOBAL REFERENDUM page.

Please VOTE in my REFERENDUM so we can ALL seriously put the "High" back into the term, "High Definition."

This REFERENDUM is my serious attempt at solving all the world's biggest problems by giving the international public a web page to use as a focal point in a worldwide discussion about completely reforming the banking industry, beginning with a one-time JUBILEE and conversion to a completely automated banking model that uses smart phones as digital wallets. Remember - in a real Democracy - majority rules! I think the majority would like this very much. Plus, it would give all the Occupy Wall Street people and the rest of the 99% a major opportunity to make massive, BIG TIME changes to our WHOLE SYSTEM - much to the betterment of EVERYBODY (including the 1%).

Welcome to the signal. It's all symbolic.
This is a signal that's worthy of study:   

Welcome to the signal. It's all symbolic.

Ours is a Democratic government Of, By and For We The People. So, in a very real way, all of this is All of Us:

He're we are. He're we are. He're we are.
He're we are. He're we are. He're we are.
This time we're not asking.

We'll leave this guy to his own devices.

The Droid is locking on to its target:

Pot + Vaporizer = Problem solved.

That's it. Game over. End of story. Period. We're done. Now go away and leave us all alone.

Freedom of Speech. Freedom of Religion. Freedom of Thought.

Let US compete in the marketplace of ideas.

Switching between realities.

This is room and board.

This is Alchemy.

This is crazy.

Have you had enough yet? What if we could all just start over today?

In the United States of America we enjoy something called "Freedom of Speech." That freedom is guaranteed to us by the First Amendment to our Constitution. It also guarantees us the right to Freedom of Assembly, Freedom of Religion, Freedom of the Press and Freedom to Petition the government for redress of grievances. That includes the freedom to openly organize, discuss and plan to radically restructure or even reduce or eliminate the government itself, as long as it's done peacefully. This video playlist and essay are examples of one American citizen exercising these rights up to, and perhaps slightly beyond, their legal limits. You can be the judge of that. You are the jury of my peers. The goal is to create the broadest worldwide consensus humanly possible at this point in our living history.

We have finally had enough. We need to get this over with, and we now have the tools and the means to do just that. We intend to take back our freedom in a peaceful way, and in the process to return power to the people in a big way. This web page could become all of us taking over the money lenders and corrupt politicians, if we can form a consensus around this single point of focus. The word is define. This is what it looks like. Spread the word. This is how it all starts, by being curious and questioning authority on a large scale. This has never happened before, because we never had the internet before. Now that we've got it, let's do it! This could be HUGE, if we all decide to make it so. Metaphorically speaking, this discussion is as heavy as a neutron star.

This web page could literally start a war. But of course, together, we will not let that happen. Luckily, you don't need to worry about this showing up in the corporately-owned and centrally-controlled television and radio mass media. They're not interested in the rambling manifesto of some crazy-optimistic unconventional thinker/futurist/dreamer on the web. They won't discuss it, lest it grow and spread much too quickly, which would be a huge risk that is just too dangerous to take. Besides, why should we all panic over nothing? It's only the total collapse of the stock market and the end of the world economy and all nation states that's at stake. Boring, trivial stuff that no one cares about. Like the end of wars, the end of poverty, the end of corrupt governments, and the end of banking as we know it.

I hereby confess to seriously and transparently suggesting that we bring about all of the above. Go ahead and tell on me. Be my guest. Watch in amazement as absolutely nothing happens at all. No news here. The silence will be deafening. This is about achieving real Freedom, not some twisted Capitalistic or authoritarian religious perversion of the idea which leaves a select greedy few holding all the levers of power and control. However, the internet-based media is another story altogether. This is an internet and print-only phenomenon. For the time being, this is directed at people who read for their information, not those who watch or listen passively. You are one of those people, so I would like to invite you to join this conspiracy.

When it comes to science, I'm definitely a layperson. But I like the goal: Seek the Truth. The scientific method consists of several steps in a logical progression.

  1. Define the question (State clearly what it is that you're trying to find out. Make your first decision. Just what exactly is it that you want to know?)
  2. Gather information and resources (Start paying attention to everything that might be relevant.)
  3. Form a hypothesis (Make your best guess.)
  4. Perform an experiment and collect data (Gather the evidence. Find the facts.)
  5. Analyze the data (Figure it out. Sort it all out and discover the truth in a way that makes sense.)
  6. Interpret the data and draw conclusions that serve as a starting point for a new hypothesis (Finish figuring it out and come up with some new ideas that improve upon your first guess.)
  7. Publish the results (Share what you've learned with the rest of the world.)
  8. Retest (See if you can repeat the same experiment and get the same results. Most often this is done by other curious scientists who have the same questions.)

This entire essay is basically Step One: DEFINE THE QUESTION. There's a little bit of Steps Two and Three to provide some food for thought and provocative fodder for discussion in order to draw interest and get a conversion started. And this whole website might be part of Step Four, since the site itself is a worldwide experiment. But it all boils down to asking a big "What If" question: What if the bottom 98% of the economic classes came together and formed a consensus to agree to forgive all debts, and start over from scratch with a new non-profit banking system? Could we do that? How could we do that? What might that look like? How could it be done without war and violence? What would happen? If we actually did run out of money, how could we all live comfortably with a high standard of living, an abundance of personal freedom, safety and security, and no more stress about having to pay the bills and struggling to survive? Would it be helpful if there was a single, easy to remember URL that served as a focal point for gathering the people together in order to reach this consensus? These are just questions that we all can answer together. I just want people to seriously think about it and to discuss these things openly without fear of being punished or imprisoned. So without further ado, this is my best effort. Here we go...

Here's a totally hypothetical question: If there was an opportunity to change the system so that you could do whatever you want as long as it doesn't harm anyone else, as well as eliminate income taxes, as well as make it so you can work less or not at all and still have an income sufficient to enjoy a comfortable and safe home, healthy foods, transportation and all the modern communication and entertainment technologies, the freedom and means to travel almost anywhere, as well as cutting carbon dioxide emissions significantly by getting millions of cars off the roads at rush hour, while eliminating poverty and healing the planet, would you like to switch to that system if possible?

If your answer to this question is "Yes," then welcome to define.com, a place on the web for anarchists, extremists, socialists, gays, Pagans, Atheists, scientists and academics, prostitutes and drug addicts, thieves and adulterers, liars and killers, terrorists and cheats, subversives, Libertarians, radicals, reactionaries and revolutionaries of all shapes, sizes, colors and persuasions to come together and openly conspire to set ourselves free from The Powers That Be. Just plain normal hardworking middle-of-the-road moderate folks are welcome, too. We are all of them, and they are us.

This website is all about forgiveness. Big time, major league, deadly serious, life and death, take no prisoners debt forgiveness and financial relief on a monumental scale that includes The Whole World. That would be for all of us, including you, your family, your friends, your neighbors and your co-workers. You have now discovered the public's secret weapon in the invisible class war that has resulted from the international banking industry's stranglehold on human civilization and governments. This is a very special place on the World Wide Web specifically reserved for forming the largest consensus ever created in the history of human kind.

What follows is very unconventional economic common sense and some unorthodox ideas on how we can all give ourselves some major relief from our biggest problems. All it requires is a massive majority consensus in order to change a few rules. We need only a starting point that gets us all on the same page. Once we have that, the rest of the pieces will fall into place through the sheer power of electronic democracy. What we need to do is so simple that a child might as well be proposing it: get rid of the money lenders once and for all. Corrupt governments will follow. That will be the permanent end of war and economic slavery. So why don't we just get ourselves together and do it already? With this URL, I think we can. Here we are at last. We're on the same page. This is it. Let's just watch them try to stop us from gathering and organizing.

Humanity is approaching that point in our history where the great majority of democratic masses, connected via the internet, will be united in a simple consensus: "Enough is enough. We've had it. Game over. We're done. It's our turn now. The time is right. We are taking charge of this situation, sooner rather than later. It's time for a major change." And this URL is where it's going to go down. Responsibly. Calmly. Safely. Intelligently. This time we will not be asking. We will simply insist, politely but firmly, without wavering or compromising in our resolve. The overlords will have no choice. The age of photogenic smooth-talking politicians and lying, narcissistic, charismatic egomaniacal hero/leaders will be finished. The people, at last, will take that one giant critical leap into a better world order, and we will once and for all truly govern ourselves AND our money.

I've been guarding this magical domain for the last 16 years waiting for a good time to put it to good use. It doesn't really belong to me. It's all of ours. I'm here to sow the seeds of a civilized, high tech, democratic revolution, except this one will be done safely and in relatively slow-motion, so as not to cause too much disruption, upheaval and alarm. The situation is under control. We're all in this together, after all. In the end, nobody in particular will be in charge. It's better that way. We've seen the alternative and it just doesn't work. This is about what we could do with a few dozen trillion dollars, or the stroke of a few dozen pens and the shuffling of some stock inside the abstract virtual world of a few Wall Street computers. Either way, it's definitely doable.

I should say up front that this essay contains ideas regarding freedom and liberty (from government) that should appeal to far right-wing conservatives, and it contains ideas about a basic income guarantee, health care and education for all, and finally eliminating poverty that should appeal to far left-wing liberals. In spite of appealing to those extremes, I'm hoping most to appeal to the reason and logic of the majority of the population that falls somewhere in the middle. In the end, it's simply about achieving a more perfect democracy in the age of the internet and smartphones, and finding a civilized and peaceful way to gracefully let go of our antiquated institutions of government and those parts of capitalism that have left the top 1% of the people with more wealth than the bottom 95% combined (actually, these figures can be disputed based on semantics and various different calculations, but the broader point of the obscenely disproportionate distribution of wealth remains without question).

This system isn't working any more for the vast majority of us, We The People. We have to put our heads together, mobilize our academics and scientists, and put a stop to this tyranny. This essay is just me brainstorming on a large scale, but I don't claim to have the answers. I just want to get a conversation started about the benefits of just totally starting over from scratch. What comes out of the other end of this conversation may look nothing like what I'm suggesting here. That's fine with me. At the risk of repeating myself, I absolutely do not want to be in charge of anything. I have enough trouble just dealing with my own severe mental illness, which is called schizoaffective disorder. You can look it up on Wikipedia if you want.

Basically what I'm proposing is that the people in the bottom 98% of the economic classes come together, reach a consensus that we need to start over, pool our resources, buy up all the oligopolies that control our markets, and create a new private market (a big non-profit international co-op) that is owned and managed democratically by the members, who each have a single non-transferrable voting share of the company. It's about equality, and making the most of science and technology to change the system completely and legally by working peacefully and calmly within the current legal frameworks everywhere to give us all a standard of living worthy of our scientific advancement and modern times.

I think the only sane people who won't like this proposal are the bankers that we all owe money to. But we've got them outnumbered, so they can go away and play with their own lives and monopoly money instead ruining the rest of ours with their impossible-to-win game of never-ending debt and a constant state of war and conflict. And maybe also those elites who have somehow ended up owning our shared natural resources, such as oil and natural gas, coal and lithium mines and lumber forests. We'll help them all to retire comfortably and finally leave the rest of us alone. We don't need them. We only need each other, the internet, a large-scale consensus, some cool cell phones and a clean slate. And maybe a lot of optical fiber.

The smart phones will be for mobile banking and electronic commerce, and anybody who voluntarily agrees to openly share their GPS coordinates with enough trustworthy people to keep them out of trouble will be awarded micropayments every second that their phone is voluntarily on the grid, so that at the end of the day, they will have enough credits in their account to cover the cost of existing comfortably with a high standard of living, whether they work or not. In the U.S., GPS is legally mandatory in our cell phones. Phone companies have this data. The NSA has this data. Except they don't pay you for the privilege of violating your privacy and knowing your whereabouts. You pay them. We can change that. This would eliminate most crime and make the society safer for all. Of course, it would also make a huge swath of government bureaucracies completely unnecessary, which would significantly shrink the role of national governments and return more power and freedom to the people.

My job is simple: to act as a warm body to hold the free people's domain until society is ready and prepared to make this quantum leap safely and peacefully, and to periodically throw crazy ideas out into the herd in order to shake things up and break the spell that we've all been under since the invention of money, religion and authoritarian politics. This is a wake-up call of the highest order on the grandest scale. As for me: I am a completely expendable nobody. An irrelevant, simple-minded speck of dust that has been programmed with a singular mission. I have been prepared since early childhood to play this simple part in this grand play, and to receive unimaginable amounts of criticism, blame and humiliation. I take my job very seriously, and am completely OK with totally surrendering my personal privacy 24/7 if it comes down to it. This means ABSOLUTE TRANSPARENCY. But I doubt it will come down to that, since I'm basically just a typist who parrots other peoples' ideas - a boring, overweight, unattractive "crash test dummy" sticking his neck out because the important people are too smart to put themselves in harm's way. The ones who entrusted me with this domain weren't screwing around. They mean business.


What if it went something like this: the bottom 98% of economic classes that is in debt to the top 1% of the economic class comes together and reaches a consensus that we need to start over. We forgive all debts, public and private. Everybody keeps the home they live in whether it previously belonged to a bank or a landlord. We form a new non-profit worldwide bank of the people controlled entirely by the citizens in a one-person one vote democratic fashion. Each person has one non-transferable voting share. This new bank has the authority to create money and it invests in infrastructure around the world with the sole goal of improving the quality of life of all citizens. The loans are at zero interest.

Instead of working within the currently corrupted system to beg and plead for new rules that slowly widdle away the wealth so it transfers from the rich to the poor, why not use the sheer power of internet populism to simply demand a better economic situation, all at once, whether the rich like it or not? In biblical times, this was called "Jubilee," a periodic celebration in which the rulers wiped the slate clean and debtors and slaves were set free. Think of it as a kind of healthy "re-booting" of the system to level the playing field and restore equality and liberty. We are fast approaching the time when it is clearly and obviously in the best interest of the vast majority of citizens to be given this much-needed, much-sought relief. And since ours is a government, Of, By and For The People, We, as our own rulers, have the power to grant ourselves this gift.

The only problem is that doing this would be illegal under the laws of our present legislators, who have become corrupted by the banking and insurance and oil and pharmaceutical lobbyists who now effectively write our laws from start to finish. But shouldn't an overwhelming majority of the citizens have the right to bypass those corrupt legislators and to change the rules of the game anytime we want, if it is deemed to be necessary and in the best interest of the vast majority of the citizens? We have the bankers (and the legislators) outnumbered by an absolutely, incredibly, fantastically overwhelming ratio. Is there any reason why the enslaved majority of citizens, in a democracy, couldn't just fire them all, all at once, to make a quantum leap forward in human progress?

That's the short of it. What follows is a longer version that basically rationalizes this simple premise into some unconventional strategies for doing it legally in a very measured, calm, methodical, peaceful process that works within the present control structures. It introduces a new form of currency, never before possible in all of human history, that has a limited lifespan, which ensures that it is used in regular and frequent commerce in order to keep the economy running smoothly while eliminating inflation.

I should add, this website is no secret. The authorities know who I am, and have elected to allow me to continue displaying this web page, in spite of it's potential for creating a large-scale consensus in some form or another. If it looks like there's going to be a problem and things start getting crazy, I'm perfectly happy to cooperate and tone it down. We're all adults here. Nobody wants to do any harm to anybody. We all want what's best for everybody. Like I said, "We're all in this together." If we reach a consensus and decide that we intend to act, we just need to keep up business as usual during a transition period, so that nobody panics and the economy keeps chugging along safely and securely while we figure out together what to do next. We just switch from thinking of our ordinary lives as a mandatory, monotonous, permanent routine, and start thinking of it as a kind of play in which we each have a temporary and important role that is essential to the Master Plan.


With just a trifle bit of research it has become clear to me, as an American, that the whole process of how money is created and loaned out by the central banks is a criminal scam of biblical proportions. We pay rent to the landlord, who makes payments to the bank that truly "owns" the property. But who owns the bank, and where do they get their money? When you "follow the money" back through the banking system, you wind up learning something truly astounding and frightening. The central banks and governments just create it out of thin air! That's not fair. Some elite, completely private, secretive group of bankers gets special printing presses and a bunch of paper and literally makes a bunch of money, and suddenly they own all the land, homes, buildings and businesses. And nobody complains. What on Earth is going on here? Something is wrong with this picture.

So let's get this over with. Someone has got to say this. I'll just spell it out in simple terms. Most people are purposely kept unaware of the fact that they are the living, breathing, slaving property of the international bankers who own our governments. We are so thoroughly distracted by the daily struggle to survive and an endless barrage of corporate entertainment and mass media diversions that we rarely stop to question the validity of The WHOLE System in which we are living. It's a gigantic, sadistic, worldwide monopoly game of unimaginable proportions that has been completely rigged. These bankers are absolutely, positively not committed to the citizens' best interests. They are all about enriching themselves, no matter what the cost to ordinary people, even if it means encouraging wars.

If we applied our science and technology fully, the majority of us would not need to work at all. Furthermore, we could easily eliminate the conditions of poverty, hunger and ignorance throughout the world. Unfortunately though, our economic systems are based on the control and submission of entire populations through the perpetuation of individual, corporate and national debt with interest, as well as international conflict. First the central bankers print the money from scratch, then they lend it to the governments, who promise to pay it back with interest with money collected from the taxpayers through pure coercion and threat of imprisonment. And where do the taxpayers get it? In the end, it comes from work and various other sources that all wind up borrowing from the banks. It's that simple. We are the prisoners of the States' need for economic growth and the corporate imperative to make a profit, which is always at the expense of the citizens and their precious free time. This sucks big time.

Sooner or later we the debtors are just going to have to say to the nations' creditors, "Sorry, but the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. You're going to have to be satisfied with what you've already got, because you can't have any more. Enough is enough. We are taking back our freedom." But that would be considered treason or grand theft on giant scale. I definitely don't want to get arrested for plotting to overthrow the government or collapsing the global economy in such a way. So what can be done? Is there any sort of "legal" process that could be invented that would allow us to get our freedom back without all of us winding up in prison? Somehow, we're going to need to get together and conspire to find a way to get free that doesn't end up causing a World War.

Basically humans are good-natured when given a choice. Most would choose to help others in need if they could do so without pain to themselves. This includes most of our corporate, government and military leaders, who are also unwilling victims of the same establishment monetary systems as the rest of us. Together, we are all owned by the same monumental government and banking institutions, like beasts of burden programmed to perpetuate the status quo. One thing that the rich and poor can agree on is that there's got to be a better way than this. For the vast majority of human beings living on this planet today, this system is Hell.

Maybe it's time for us all to get together and start over with a level playing field. Really level. But how can we do that without some kind of revolution? I think the answer is to change the system from within by playing by the rules in order to change the rules. First, we have to acknowledge that our current system is broken, corrupt and fatally flawed. We have to peacefully dismantle it and replace it with something better and more democratic. In the end, it's our game. We can choose to redefine it at any time, if we can manage to break the spell of habit and take ownership of our individual and collective power. We have to create a stateless democracy that can exist within each of our host nations without causing chaos. In the end, one possible option is to simply pool our money and buy back our freedom in a way that will eventually starve the economic beast of governments by depriving them of funding until they are as small as possible, posing no danger to the citizens while providing the minimum essential services, such as protecting the people and the commons (e.g. water, air, forests and other natural resources that should not be privatized).

Our governments are inefficient bureaucracies created by mostly well-intentioned people who reigned long before the creation of the internet. They are filled with paper, turf battles, infighting and politics at all levels. Twisted and tangled communication channels and favoritism, cronyism and corruption. Our systems of representation are based on old paper, word-of-mouth and face-to-face communication models that are long outdated, with feedback loops that take years instead of days to correct problems and adjust to changing circumstances and the people's will. They are all about making money, conquering territory, manipulating public opinion and getting re-elected at all costs. Sure, we love our nations and our values. But more often than not the corrupt, greedy and unprincipled people wind up with all the power and influence, and the average citizens are left with peanuts and debt that is impossible to repay. What if there was a way to do away with the need for money itself for billions of people? I think there is, but it will require privatizing massive portions of our economies.

The manufacturing and food production industries that create most of the products we use and consume in daily life have become so automated that we are actually running out of jobs for humans. This pattern is growing, not shrinking. Those corporations that own these factories and farms get rich while the workers are seeing their wages cut more and more as a result of globalization. If most people had a choice, they would prefer not to work at all. Together, we can cooperate and create a new way of doing things that truly serves the people's interests in survival, comfort, entertainment, education and health care. . In the process, we can peacefully make a transition from the old ways to a better way without massive disruption, panic or war. We can clean up this mess by applying our industrial strengths to make things better for absolutely everybody. First though, we need to stop this ridiculous farce of demanding more jobs from our leaders. We don't need more jobs. We need more freedom and a better system of allocating essential resources to the people - all of them. Obviously, this whole issue is infinitely complex, but I'm going to break it down to a simplified version using examples that are familiar to most Americans.

In my country, the small business merchants and manufacturers are disappearing as corporations consolidate and expand to take over entire markets. The corner stores have been replaced with Wal-Marts. Almost all of the local communities' money that goes into buying from Wal-Mart, with a tiny exception of the salaries of low-paid workers and some token charity, leaves the community. The same is true for our lumber yards, as they have been replaced with either Home Depot or Lowe's. Our electronics stores are nearly gone now and the winner is Best Buy. The small furniture stores have been replaced by IKEA superwarehouses. Little gas stations have been bought up by Exxon-Mobil, Shell, Texaco, Chevron, and BP. Our money goes into these large corporations and they use it to expand and overtake smaller and smaller markets. Most of our small, independent food stores have been replaced by supermarkets such as Safeway and Albertson's. They are filled with products that are nearly all made by a handful of corporations. The list goes on. Free market Capitalism has been a wonderful success for these businesses, but has resulted in job loss and bankruptcy for the citizens. The individual citizens are routing a large portion of their incomes into just a handful of companies, but very few of those customers are stockholders.

We are overflowing with mass-produced consumer goods and material wealth, but that wealth is concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer people. As a human race, we have been marvelously successful at mastering technology, manufacturing and distribution. But as humanitarians, we have failed miserably. 2.2 billion people are living in poverty. More than 25,000 people die each and every day as the result of starvation, when we have food surpluses. We can fix this. We have the technology and the wealth to help these people. We can apply all of our wonderful production and distribution capability in a way that accepts the realities of big industry and helps everybody. The reality is that consolidation is not going to go away. The big get bigger and the rich get richer, and the small get swallowed up. That's just the way it is. What jobs remain are going to be low paid cookie-cutter retail positions, but there will be fewer and fewer consumers with the money to buy things, even as goods become less and less costly.

In the U.S., we are now living in a sea of oligopolies. We are headed towards eventually accepting monopoly control of our most important markets. For the sake of keeping it simple, what if we just accepted massive consolidation as the eventual future outcome and just allowed it to take place right now, but in a way that served the citizens instead of the rich? What if a large number of people and private corporations pooled their money and resources to form a gigantic member-owned and controlled co-op called HUMANITY, Inc.? It could be managed mostly online by its members in a transparent, open source, open system, purely democratic manner. The general idea is that citizens should be able to cover most of their basic needs by shopping here.

Assume that this co-op acquired and merged companies like Weyerhaeuser (they own the land that grows the trees that are turned into lumber that makes new homes), UPS or FedEx, Costco or Wal-Mart or TARGET, IKEA, Best Buy, Samsung or Sony, Safeway or Albertson's, Home Depot or Lowe's, AT&T or Comcast or Time-Warner, a successful automobile manufacturer, and any other combination of these massive scale industrial operations (and public utilities) to create a private manufacturing and distribution machine that is dedicated to improving the human condition? I realize this may sound absurd, but for the sake of a thought experiment, let's consider what could happen if it was done right. This new co-op would have a lot of real wealth, buying power and economies of scale. What if it bought up all the property debt? If you have a mortgage on your home, HUMANITY, Inc. would take ownership of that mortgage. If you are renting, HUMANITY, Inc. would buy out your landlord. HUMANITY, Inc. should be capable of providing everything that a citizen needs to survive in good health.

Let's say this gigantic private organization was considered to be a "market" and this market had its own system of credits. GOLD CREDITS would be persistent and backed by the real assets of the co-op, and could be exchanged with existing world currencies. It could also have another type of credits (let's call them LUNAR CREDITS), which are temporary. These credits would last a month and be redeemable for all goods available in the co-op. For the people employed there, they would be paid in GOLD CREDITS, so there would be an incentive to work and contribute, and they would have the ability to save and accumulate wealth that could be used in other markets. Within this market, either kind of credit would be redeemable for products, but the "temporary" LUNAR CREDITS could not be directly converted into "persistent" GOLD CREDITS.

The idea is that this would be a global organization, although it may have different physical appearances in different cultures so as not to be offensive. All people would be welcome to shop in this market and to use its products and services. However, membership in the co-op would require a small investment of time in a really simple process of education in civility, pluralism and social standards. This should be a simple and easy training process. Perhaps all members would be required take an online interactive video class in their own language that just covers a few hours of human history, mythology and comparative religion. Sort of an initiation process that gets people thinking on a global scale, outside of their mutually exclusive tribal boxes, and welcomes them into HUMANITY, Inc.

Once they finish the course and pass the simple test that shows they understand the concepts, they become permanent members. As members, they earn exactly one non-transferable share of this corporation and it's a voting share. The big reward for being a member of this market is that you have something like an iPhone-linked account that is charged every day with enough LUNAR CREDITS to cover the daily basics (food, clothing, shelter, clean water, electricity, medicine, health care and internet access). Most importantly, if your mortgage or rent is payable to HUMANITY, Inc., that debt would be forgiven. You wouldn't have to work if you don't want to. Eventually, the credit system may become obsolete and everything will be free, but it could be used in the beginning in order to have some way of fairly allocating finite resources.

This market would be controlled entirely by the citizens themselves and would be managed in an internet-based open and transparent process. This co-op could coexist with all the rest of the businesses in the larger society, but would provide a safety net for people to join as their jobs disappear. We could apply all of the proceeds earned by this organization to expansion into smaller and smaller markets in poorer and poorer nations and communities. By the time the co-op was ubiquitous, it would be providing the equivalent of a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG) to all of the world's citizens, and would be completely member-owned and controlled in a way that is the absolute definition of egalitarian fairness.

In the end, we will have applied all of our industrial expertise specifically and directly to the process of helping humanity and solving our world's biggest problems. Most importantly, becoming a voting member and shopping there would be completely optional, and this solution will exist entirely in the private sector. It would be like a mini-state, except it would make no laws, and it would control and imprison nobody. If this co-op was structured as a non-profit it would not have to pay taxes, and since the members are paid in LUNAR CREDITS (the perfectly legal equivalent of store coupons), their "basic incomes" would be tax free. Since these LUNAR CREDITS are electronic and have a limited lifespan, there would be no inflation, in contrast to paying people with physical money that is printed and entered into circulation.

As more people became members, the size of government would need to shrink due to a decrease in tax revenue. In the end, the citizens will be free to spend all of their time as they choose, rather than slaving away endlessly as the human property of central banks and lenders who throughout history have forced citizens to work in order to grow economies and tax revenues. Instead of being forced to "be productive", human beings will be free to "Just Be themselves" and leave it at that. Instead of growing economies, trading dollars and polluting the environment, we could just grow and trade ever more potent varieties of cannabis buds and spend more time off the freeways and in our homes with our families, learning and exploring on the web, traveling the world and learning each others' cultures, or recreating outside while enjoying nature. That would definitely cut down carbon dioxide emissions in a massive and significant way and be infinitely better for the environment and World Peace than what we're doing today.
