resource based economy: Election Day: My Vote Is In - RBE
- 11/06/12 12:54 AM
Resource Based Economy The term and meaning of a Resource Based Economy was originated by Jacque Fresco. It is a holistic socio-economic system in which all goods and services are available without the use of money, credits, barter or any other system of debt or servitude. All resources become the common heritage of all of the inhabitants, not just a select few. The premise upon which this system is based is that the Earth is abundant with plentiful resource; our practice of rationing resources through monetary methods is irrelevant and counter productive to our survival. Modern society has access to highly … (0 comments)

- 01/23/12 03:51 AM
With the political circus show in full swing and loyal followers blindly towing the line of their parties and candidates without question and not even seeing the contradictions and hypocrisies that are in abundance, we must look at the facts. Politicians do not know how to solve the technical issues we are facing globally Politicians do not work for the people, they work for banks and corporations We need to dissolve our Representative form of Government and introduce a participative form of Government where every voice is heard and can vote on every issue We need to introduce the scientific method … (4 comments)

- 10/30/11 04:38 AM
Re-posted with permission "The End of the Monetary System is Near" Have you noticed that when you watch a movie set in the future, you always see one of two scenarios?: 1. One scenario is set in a primitive society where there is extreme human suffering.2. The other scenario is set in a technology advanced society where machines benefit humanity.We are standing on a ridge where one of these two reality's are to become our existence."You will someday be able to mark August 1st, 2011 as a major shift in the worldwide labor force where the balance between man and machine collide.

Fresco envisions a global civilization in which science and technology are applied with human and environmental concern to secure, protect, and encourage a more humane world for all people. This book offers a possible way out of our recurring cycles of boom and recession, famine, poverty, a declining environment, and territorial conflicts where peace is merely the interval between wars. It outlines an attainable, humane social design of the near future where human rights are no longer paper proclamations but a way of life. The Best That Money Can't Buy is a challenge to all people to work towards … (1 comments)
resource based economy: Cybernated Farm Systems
- 07/23/11 04:46 AM
My friend Douglas Mallette was just recently let go from his job as he worked on the space shuttle program. He and his fellow scientists are always working on sustainable systems and new developments for the world. He is a big proponent for a global sustainable system. In fact, he mentioned that scientists work on this concept all the time because if we colonize another planet one day, we will need resources, not money, to exist. He is starting a new company using technology to grow organic foods. Here is a description and mission statement. I'm sharing this information to show everyone … (2 comments)
A Resource Based Economy is a system in which all goods and services are available to everyone without cost, barter, trade, credits or any forms of servitude.

Technology exists today to implement sustainable systems which would render worthless money obsolete.Do you truly enjoy working your job or business knowing you have to generate money in order to survive … (0 comments)
resource based economy: Starve the Beast
- 06/18/11 07:33 AM
There is no such thing as human nature, only human behavior. Take for example: Greed. People spout off about greed being human nature as if it should be accepted as an inherent trait of the human condition. This is absolutely false. Everyone supports greed by the on-going purchases of products and services hence making some people and corporations extremely wealthy. It is our behavior of blindly consuming everything and anything allowing greed to exist. We the people are supporting and upholding this notion of greed. We the people are the ones who allow it to happen. We have the audacity … (3 comments)
resource based economy: Monetary Economics to Resource Economics
- 06/12/11 04:03 PM
With our monetary system on life support, the need to incorporate sustainable systems should be our first priority. Once in place, the need for money will no longer be necessary. Since the inception of The Federal Reserve, the value of dollar has declined 96%. With the reckless amount of spending going on, it will not be long until the value of the U.S. dollar is worthless.
“Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value ---- zero.” Voltaire
We can invest our money wisely now into building an infrastructure of sustainable technologies that will render money worthless and create true … (3 comments)

resource based economy: Politics is Outdated and No Longer Relevant
- 04/05/11 06:39 AM
We can clearly see in America that politics is outdated and no longer relevant especially over the past 2 years. Democrats take control of The House and voted out 2 years later. Our current President has not come through on an lot his campagin rhetoric, if any at all. Most of his staff are Wall Streeters with one only thing in mind. Todays issues we face are technical and I see no politician capable of coming up with a solution to fix them. All they do is pass laws that continue to strip away our liberities. It is time to … (1 comments)
