Fresco-Collapse, Transition, Politics, Systems Approach

A month ago a few people started to protest on Wall Street. The numbers began to grow very quickly. The movement became Occupy Wall Street. Then three other places started Occupy protests in their area. Now there are countless protests all over the country. On October 15, 2011 the world came together for a global protest. This all started with just a few people that decided to make their voice heard. Protests have been going on for much longer than Occupy Wall Street. We can't forget that Egypt just overthrew their government for the same reasons. Tunisia, Africa, Greece, Italy...and don't forget the English that protested the rise in college tuition not so long ago. America is finally feeling the pinch and has joined the ranks of angry, scared and frustrated people who are living under a system that is smothering and destroying their future and the future of their children and grandchildren.
Jacque Fresco predicted these protests in 2009 when most of America still were to placated to voice their grievances. He also gives real solutions to our problem in depth. He also explains how government can't help the people. It's an excellent video.

Dialogue and Q&A with Jacque Fresco on July 26, 2009. Covering collapse and transitional issues, politics, and systems approach.

The Venus Project-Scarcity, Justice, Transition, Resource Based Economy

{EAV_BLOG_VER:6297a0b4420eb5b9} A friend of mine brought up the price of gold the other day. People have been selling and buying gold like it was the California gold rush. I thought about it for a few minutes and I told her that I did not understand why people put so much worth into gold. It isn't a metal that is really used for anything except decorative purposes. You can't eat it or drink it. You can't make blankets or brush your teeth with it. She said that people would trade it for food. I was quiet for a moment again and asked her why someone who had food would trade it for gold. Wouldn't they trade it for blankets, clean water, shelter, or clothes? Wouldn't the people with the blankets, clean water, shelter or clothes trade for food? What would you do with gold? That's what I would do and I think I have some common sense. If I can't work on my car and the man down the street needed his clothes mended and we both were able to perform these tasks, wouldn't that make more sense than giving him my gold earrings (if I had any)? In the end, what does gold really offer?

Scarcity. Bigotry. Inequality. What do these values promote? How can we change these values? Who makes the wealthy rich? Why should they owe society anything? How does our economy create fairness and equality?How does our economy promote the health of our environment and the people who dwell on it? Jacque Fresco and Roxanne Meadows answer these questions in the next of our videos.
