Implementation Plan

As stated in another blog the transition needs to go from a currency system to a resource system. The only way to do this is buy creating a system that is wholly owned by the people using the system.
Everyone who buys into the system owns a share of the system, and the goal of the system is to produce enough for the community and use the profit to make more systems. Everyone in the community is able to monitor their own usage of the common resource. They can still tie into the grid, but if they keep their needs below what is produced for the community then they don't have to pay, except maintenance fees transparent to the entire community. Everyone is informed about how much the common resource can produce and how their usage compares to others (anonymously) in the community.
No one is forced to use below what the common resource produces (they can still tie into the grid). They can sell their shares to another person in the community, but no one can own more than one share. Equipment maintenance payments is divided equally amongst the members and is either handled by the community, by the people that installed the power plant or by a third party contractor.

Power plants
1) Draw up plans and estimates of cost for:
a-geothermal power plant
b-Solar Power Plant
c-Wind Power Plant
d-Wave Power Plant
(all in stages of groups of 10 people)
2) Send Estimates of Geothermal plant to every suburb and major metropolitan area
3) Estimates for solar Power should be sent to Desert Regions
4) Estimates for Wave and Wind Power should be sent to Coastal Regions

Agriculture Centers
1)Draw up estimates for an automated agriculture center
2) Send to every major metropolitan area

Car Manufacturing Plants
1) Make an estimate for automated car manufacturing sites
2) Send to every major metropolitan area
3) Setup a quick fuelup and home fuelup areas across the nation using solare cell renewable energy only

Maglev Plans
1) Map out every train track across the United States
2) Make estimates for linking between major metropolitan on elevated maglev tracks
3) Send to every major metropolitan area, tying major metros between states first
4) This plan takes a “stake” to be paid by every municipality that is involved in “linking” into the maglev train. For example, if you want to use the maglev and have pickup/dropoff site then you have to pay into the shares to get the process started.

The Power of the Internet

There are reports the internet might be compromised soon. I have noticed recently a significant amount of lag time building on my internet connections. Here is a compilation of forums, websites, blogs and groups that I've found that try to discuss the zeitgeist movement. I encourage everyone to link in and meetup with people who are interested in restoring sovereignty to people worldwide.

That's plenty to look through. Notice there are many groups already forming without an actual "forum" on the zeitgeist movement website. I'd look towards your closest big city to start organizing even before Peter Joseph does something.

Master of the lie

There are many ways to give false witness. One is to just commit a known error of omission another is to give an untrue statement a third is to mix both true statements with slight errors. These deceptions today are bandied around as varying degrees of lying as if it is a normal circumstance to not be entirely truthful. For thousands of years people understood lying is an integral part of our currency system. Why should I charge you $5.00 which will give me all I need when I can charge you $10.00?

More important to control the currency system the sanctity of lying needs to be hidden and protected. The whole society needs to accede to a moral corruption to justify levels of lying and not suspect anything is wrong. A white lie is less of a corruption then a black lie, right? Every politician, contractor, businessman, etc. are crooks? Isn't this business as usual?

Another version of the lie that is rarely explored, but powerfully employed is the slight variation that leads to a wrong conclusion. For example, everyone thinks communism was a government made for the people. The truth is communism was funded by a few people who placed psychopathic people into dictatorial power over their people. No one sees the motives behind the curtain, just the lies sent out by the people controlling the currency system. The same can be said for some religions. What variation of christianity justifies the crusades, the inquisition or an Iraqi War? War can never be justified when your religion teaches "love thy neighbor".

I don't see how lying is beneficial to communities or acceding to lies is justified. I'm not a saint and never said I don't lie, just that in a currency system it is necessary to survive. There is an old saying the greatest trick the devil ever did was convince people he doesn't exist. In our currency system the hidden devil are the lies to justify our existence.

The Monopoly Game

If you've ever played monopoly then you've played a game close to how most people become wealthy in a currency system. Here's how it works. You buy up an income generating property (such as a business, real estate, stock, etc.) and then build on that property with increasing levels of development. Levels of development really depend on what type of property you buy. For example, you build more houses on real estate lots or you expand a business. The problem for me is, why do we play monopoly when we should be exploring life?
Some people are good at both, but even that person must negotiate some of their time to wealth generation.

The Rich Dad, Poor Dad series of books taught me alot about the game businessmen and investors play to become wealthy. The game is being played over all businesses, governments and currency generators. Like in every game the real world monopoly must have only one winner. After the United States government committed treason and handed their rights over to private banks the people playing the game have nearly completed their winning move in monopoly. They have unlimited capacity to inflate the currency, steal from the taxpayers or cut budgets.

My dad once told me a story about him and my grandfather when they played a game of monopoly. My grandfather ran out of money and had only a few paltry properties. It was obvious that my dad was going to win. My grandfather asked my dad "Do you want to keep playing?". My dad said "yes". Contrary to monopoly rules my grandfather sold my dad some of his properties at a base price and they kept on playing. In the real world no one is going to let us "keep on playing". There is no "get out of jail free" card.

Fortunately a few people want to stop playing the monopoly game.

Another stolen comment about zeitgeist addendum

From this thread: http://www.dailypaul.com/node/69281

Despite my support for free-markets, I think we need to admit the fact that pure free-market capitalism has never actually existed and is just as idealistic as any of the other hypothetical systems. Yet you defend it religiously.
You've got to wake up to the fact that even though free-market capitalism is better than what we have now, and is probably the best possible monetary-based economic system, that doesn't make it perfect. It still bears the same essential flaws that have got us into the mess we're in today.
That doesn't mean that Ron Paul, Rothbard, von Mises, and others are wrong. But just because they advocate it doesn't mean they consider it flawless. Capitalism is not devoid of problems; it is not the final solution. That would be Utopian.
...
The point being made in Zeitgeist about the monetary-system is simple: a competition-based system for profit by differential advantage is destined to produce the problems we face today: corruption, elitism, poverty, crime, war, etc. Unfortunately, even a purely free market economy is no exception.
Even if we could establish this supposedly perfect system, how long do you think it would it last? With time (decades or centuries), a few 'best players' in the game will inevitably gain massive wealth and power, which they are destined to use against others in order to secure their power forever. Sound familiar? That's why some people believe that evil is in our nature. If we promote the conditions that cause it, yes it is. Power corrupts.
...
Zeitgeist Addendum does not advocate collectivism. The film denounces communism, fascism, elitism, etc. It does not imply that a central authority must intervene to re-educate and formulate the workings of society.
Instead, the theory is that if we stopped perpetuating this system of competition over scarce, poorly-managed resources, people would naturally reorganize at a grassroots level to work for a common goal without needing to compete amongst each other, and could do so without the need for central authority.
This is no more 'collective' than the way us liberty-minded people come together on our own accord to accomplish common goals.

Finally an honest alternative

How do people create what they need to live today? The only answer is they do some service that generates a tradable form of currency. How is this dishonest? Generating income isn't dishonest but it gives those people who are dishonest a significant advantage. Imagine an auto mechanic who plays by the rules and does work to his best ability but his competitor down the street gyps everyone they service and overcharges every customer. Someone might point out the dishonest competitor might go out of business because of his bad reputation, but that isn't the case as we see today. If massive companies like Enron, Tyco and all the horrible merchandise from China can outcompete anything manufactured, reap huge unwarranted rewards then how can anyone say honest guys finish first?

I'm sure there are some examples of stellar companies, but the really large monopolies generate the greatest profit, never the greatest product. Is there anyway around the profit model of business? There is, but it takes some imagination and knowledge. The proponents of a resource economy have to know that a truly free market would generate abundant resources by breaking apart corrupt monopolies. Resource economists also have to know the resources available could support everyone if there were truly owned equally by the whole world. Imagination is needed during the transition period.

During the transition period people have to recognize there is nothing wrong in generating profit if your mission is to create systems that are self sufficient. Until the resource economy is adopted around the world the only way to create new communities is by giving or making profit from some system. Within the systems the currency system doesn't work, but to get anything new the self sufficient system has to generate more than the community needs or the community needs to donate more than the system creates. Imagination is also needed to piece together the many ways transition can occur from the technological, organizational and educational perspectives.

Designing out Crime

How would a resource based economy design out crime? The most egregious crimes today are done out of survival. Whether criminals commit a mugging, bank robbery, sell dangerous drugs, insider trading or enslave a nation they always justify their actions to perpetuate their own survival. What does survival mean in today's economy? Survival means having the capital necessary to continue their lifestyle. A sinister consequence of the currency system is the criminals lifestyle increases with their willingness to commit greater morally reprehensible actions. For example, a mugger might get away with a couple hundred dollars, while a President makes billions sacrificing innocents and soldiers creating a false war. In my estimation the crimes having to do with money and survival will all be phased out in a resource economy. Here's a partial list: mugging, bank robbery, theft, insider trading, embezzlement, political crimes (all the cheating of citizens to fill their own coffers). Also violent crimes would dramatically decrease because the violence driven by poverty would cease. Other crimes within our society will either be accidents or phased out when people understand human psychology.

Today we live in a pathocracy. That means we're ruled by people who have pathological ideologies that seek to destroy human life. Here are a few examples of our ruling class:
- Secretary of State Madeline Albright said she has no problem killing half a million innocent children in an interview with Barbara Walters
- Prince Albert proclaiming his wish is to reborn as a virus that kills 90% of the population
- the document "Project for a New American Century" is produced by the incoming George W. Bush's presidential advisors which calls for a new pearl harbor event to further terrorize and control the american people. That "pearl harbor" event happens on 09/11/01.

The ruling class supports a monumental evil that pushes any means justifies its end. Their endgame is a small group of elites to rule over a servant class. What happens to society when at the top are the most criminally competitive people? Their moral aberrations seep into everyone they influence. The society becomes sick with adopted criminal ethics. In a resource economy no elite have any capital and do not control resources. The society would no longer be a pathocracy and would transform into a isocracy (equal political power for each citizen).

Modes of Transition to a Resource Economy

I see several modes of transition that can be used to go from a currency system to a resource system. All these systems start in a profit making mode to increase their sphere of influence and because we're still in a monetary based system, but they don't use currency to trade resources in the system.

Resource Node System:
Entire communities become shareholders in a common, renewable, mostly automated resource site (energy, agriculture, transportation, clothing, housing, etc. producers). All the community owns the resource, and repairs the service and then uses the profits to make other types of resource nodes.

Small Community Construction:
Communities become totally self contained economies. All their resources are provided by the community and no money is used in the community. Profits from the sale of their renewable resources are reinvested to create either larger communities or communities in other areas.

Networks of self reliant individuals:
Individuals go off the grid on their own and help others to go off the grid. Common resources are assessed by the community and on an honor system to be given freely to people in the network or traded to other people. Profits from traded resources are used to increase the size of the network.

Experimental City Construction:
An entire city is constructed with all the needs for a given community is constructed. The city creates wealth initially by creating the best possible products to sell to the outside world. The profits from its products (either from selling their extra renewable resources, their created products, or their labor in testing new products) is reinvested into creating a new experimental city.

Robot Restaurants

Can you imagine a restaurant where everything from the ordering of food, to the food preparation to the paying for your tab is done by only machines? Here's how it could work:
All spaces for people to sit have a handicapped accessible computer menu where people either type in, speak to order or use braile. The order is sent to robot chef much like this one:
http://www.livescience.com/technology/080213-robotic-chef.html
The food-savvy robot wears a towel twisted rakishly over its upper module. The octopus balls are made individually, each one carefully made from scratch. The octopus balls are made in thirds; the cooking delicacy must be hand-turned after each portion cooks to add the next bit of dough, creating a perfect octopus ball. (not the most appetizing thought for most americans, but this is Japanese cuisine)

And then the orders are sent out either on a conveyor belt as currently used is sashimi barsor are moved underneath the floor and presented onto your table. Finally, all the dishes are taken by a robot built within the table to wash the dishes for the next diner. Much like this table dishwasher: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0CEFD61F30F936A25754C0A9649C8B63
CONVENIENCE is a must in the modern American kitchen.
For Harold DeHart, that means never having to get up from the table to put the meal's used plates into the dishwasher. Mr. DeHart, who lives in Durham, N.C., has won a patent for a ''dining table with integral dishwasher.'' A trapdoor in the table opens into a dishwasher underneath.

Resource Management and Game Theory

Today International Financiers are hoarding the worlds resources by tying up liquidity thereby precipitating a global depression and planning on buying up the devalued assets at the nadir of the crisis. My question is why can't their fraudulent system become a legitimate system of assessing the earths resources and giving everyone on earth a chance to claim their resources? According to game theory I believe resource management can become legitimate.
Game theory is a mathematical method to assess interactions and the cost or benefit from situations. It is widely used in economics to understand the outcomes from market forces.
John Nash elucidated an equilibrium that ensures everyone in the game cannot gain anymore benefit from interactions.
Here's an explanation of the nash equilibrium from game theory:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nash_equilibrium
a solution concept of a game involving two or more players, in which each player is assumed to know the equilibrium strategies of the other players, and no player has anything to gain by changing only his or her own strategy (i.e., by changing unilaterally). If each player has chosen a strategy and no player can benefit by changing his or her strategy while the other players keep theirs unchanged, then the current set of strategy choices and the corresponding payoffs constitute a Nash equilibrium. In other words, to be a Nash equilibrium, each player must answer negatively to the question: "Knowing the strategies of the other players, and treating the strategies of the other players as set in stone, can I benefit by changing my strategy?"
Stated simply, Amy and Bill are in Nash equilibrium if Amy is making the best decision she can, taking into account Bill's decision, and Bill is making the best decision he can, taking into account Amy's decision. Likewise, many players are in Nash equilibrium if each one is making the best decision that they can, taking into account the decisions of the others. However, Nash equilibrium does not necessarily mean the best cumulative payoff for all the players involved; in many cases all the players might improve their payoffs if they could somehow agree on strategies different from the Nash equilibrium (e.g. competing businessmen forming a cartel in order to increase their profits).

According to this theory people can all benefit if they either know they cannot change their strategy to win or if they form collaborations that force unequal circumstances on the majority of players. In today's society there is a cartel of international financiers that own all of the resources and therefore there is a lopsided equilibrium. Even though a select few own most of the resources no one in "the game" can benefit more because everyone in the system knows that they can't change their strategy to win. What would happen if those resources were monitored and distributed not by a select few but by every human being on the earth? According to game theory there would also be equilibrium in the market.

Solutions

I stole this great synopsis of solutions from the movie here: http://www.breezedebris.com/2008/10/the-zeitgeist-m.html

Solutions from the movie:
1. Expose the Fed Cartel. Why should you trust the banking system? They have given us just enough rope to hang ourselves with and now they are seemingly in a state of urgency but still spending big time.
2. Boycott News Networks. Who are they to tell you what to believe in and how to think? They use brainwashing techniques peeps. Watch Democracy Now instead. And Always Use and Protect the Internet.
3. Boycott the Military. Learn that those enlisted (it's not their fault) have been misled to work for the corporations who control the government. Don't buy all the propaganda that they are fighting for your liberty and freedom bullshit. They may have done so at one time... but now, they are sadly just pawns. If any brother of mine ever.....NEVERMIND....just know, that I would fuckin fight!!
4. Boycott Energy Companies. Get off the grid. Convert your vehicles. It's not as hard as it seems. They just want us to think that. Do the research ladies and gentlemen.
5. Reject the Political System. Focus on working to dissolve the outdated system of Politics, in favor of technological redesign and intelligent management of the Earth's Resources. No, you don't have to join a cult or be the jack ass of an anarchist. But you should learn how to self sustain and teach others how to do the same. Things like growing our own food and making our own clothes (interests me). Plus, we should all go camping! Realize that we have enough of everything we need to share with everybody globally. There is no reason we can't use our technological reservoir of knowledge in a healthier way instead (of killing each other).
6. Create Critical Mass. Join the movement. Learn about and/or Play SuperStruct to get your mind brainstorming about the future we will help create. Oh and do yoga, smile, dance, go canoeing, paint, write, keep baking cookies, and try veganism too. It will help you along the way. Really.

Spontaneous Order

There's a rule of nature many people recognize, but don't really appreciate. It happens when starlings flock together, when schools of fish form schools and when people ever skate together on an ice rink. John Stossel brilliantly exposed this phenomenon in his political expose here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Phs6CwnutoY&eurl=http://www.dailypaul.com/
There are six parts in this series and nicely encapsulates everyone's ability to collaborate for a better goal.

Here is another explanation about how spontaneous order in the financial world could work:
http://www.earth-intelligence.net/extra/news/?module_instance=5&id=2829
"There IS an alternative to both Communism and Greed Capitalism. It is called Natural Moral Capitalism, or Communal Capitalism. It can and should include Open Money and a restoration of LOCAL, TANGIBLE, TRANSPARENT. We have relinked to Paradigms of Failure because what happened in the past 16 years under BOTH Clinton AND BUSH (Goldman Sachs being the common denominator owned Treasury) has been the total failure of all moral and social and legislative and executive and commercial parameters for integrity."

This is the reason I see colloborative capitalism, where everyone is a stockholder in the community corporation as the best solution to rid ourselves of the resource hoarding culture we've become. Spontaneous order is a rule in the universe and for too long we've gone against the grain and now a vast majority of people will have to suffer for some people's avarice. There is a better way and it's found in nature.

Differences in Private Property Ownership

In my view private property in a resource management model would be significantly better protected than the currency system's model. In today's America there is no right for habeus corpus, no stopping federal agents from searching and seizing property, no stopping the sheriff and the IRS from seizing your property if you inadequately meet their system's requirements. You can be tried not by jury of your peers, but by a military tribunal or plucked from anywhere in the world and shipped to a detention center that tortues you to supply false information. The question might arise that most of these can be stopped with adequate representation in our political system. My answer is the deck is stacked against those who aren't perpetuating the ponzi scheme of Central Banking. We don't issue the currency, on any political level, therefore we're always going to have less currency to "pay for" representatives.
Even before the patriot act and the perversion of our judicial system there are several strong anti private property factors that work within a quasi capitalist structure we've been under since the United States of America was founded. The first obstacle being taxes. When you own property you are taxed at the local, county, county and federal levels. Stopping payment forfeits your right to own your property, therefore is it ever really private?
The second obstacle owning private property are the mortgages taken out to finance property. Our monetary system rewards people who go into debt and stay in debt, that's why when you pay off a small business loan it is income and you're taxed on that income. The financial success mantra since the end of world war II was leverage, leverage, leverage which caused alot of people to go into debt several times higher than their yearly income. If you ever default on your mortgage than it is the property of the bank. Because most banks are currently going into ownership to the Federal Reserve System the outcome will be the international financiers who created this financial crisis will essentially own most private property.
The third obstacle is eminent domain. Today it is possible for any government agency, non governmental agency or even private company to "purchase" your property without your consent for the price they're willing to pay. If that doesn't work they can tax your property beyond your means to repay or sanction its use to make it a meaningless investment.
Beyond the people's rights to their own property is the war that was lost to ensure state's rights. Originally the American Civil war was started because the south was being used to supply the north so the north could manufacture supplies and ship them across the world. In effect the south was being used by a similar type of mercantilist system in colonial America. The south wanted to secede from the union and not continue to fund the north's way of life. Only later did the abomination of slavery become an issue between the two warring factions. Today if a state or any other local government ever tried to secede I could only see the outcome as war or complete isolation. As references I look towards Mormon communities that were raided and children taken from their families. Most recently more than 400 children were taken with no cause besides a falsified phone call.
From all of this I understand that private property, no matter what transigent security we believe will protect it, is always under the threat of conquest by some foreign hand. The only way around this theft machine is to place the resources back into the hands of everyone.

It is important to note I don't know anyone associated with "zeitgeist" movies or the venus project. I have been for many years trying to find a way people can get away from the monopolies the central banking system has on most avenues of our life. When the "banker bailout bill" was signed the global depression became certain and the United States of America's political system went into recievership of the International financiers. I think the zeitgeist movie highlighted a plan I think that can work. I have my ideas about how the plan can work and only reflect how I view this model. I'll elaborate on the many modes of transition in a later blog.

Under the resource management model I envision everyone would have private property, that is owned by them. Let me explain how this would work from the perspective of someone who would live in the resource management system: First, there'd be automated house building sites that manufacture homes for their community. So the community inputs how many houses they need and the people within the community choose what they want (as far as function goes, e.g. 3 bedroom, two bath) then the automated house construction sites get to work. I'm not saying it's a perfect system-if someone wanted 2 or 3 houses I don't how that would work, and I'm don't think the system would give bachelors mansions, but the system would support people's ability to live. A house for that person is owned by that person until that person does not want it anymore-then it's given back to the community for either recycling or to be used by a different person.
The same thing goes for automobile transportation-everyone gets what they need. In automobiles there might be less selection.

Transition from Collaboration

The transition from a currency based economy to a resource based economy appears to be a long, hard road without a significant amount of support. Where will this support come from? Not from the international financiers who succeed through the monetary system's fraud. Not from the wealthy industrialists who depend upon loans from the international financiers. Not from the politicians who also depend on contributions from both the wealthy industrialists and international financiers. The support will come from honest people who have the means and the will to start a new lifestyle. These people can start from any station in the world's current power structure. They could be a working family or a successful small businessman or a statemen who truly puts principles first.

Some people have already started transitioning to a live off the grid.

Several communities have already started and are progressing mostly unnoticed around the world that focus on living off the grid. Here are a few examples I have found:
http://www.earthship.net/

A worldwide Building project that uses recycled materials and manual labor to create self sufficient houses. Their plan does not call for removal of the currency system or automation, but encouraging recycling of materials would be a good addition to the zeitgeist building strategy

http://www.earthaven.org/

One of the many ecovillages around the world that depend on locally grown produce and products for most of their citizens. The model of the local village can be adapted to include modular mini cities within larger self sufficient communities.

http://gen.ecovillage.org/

A network of ecovillages around the world dedicated to creating a global community that emphasizes self sufficiency. This could be the model for a new resource managment network that links all self sufficient communities to the resources each of them produce.

http://www.pathtofreedom.com/pathproject/index.shtml

A small family in an urban house redesigned their small lawn to accomodate most of the food they would need. On an individual scale this could be done with every household across the world and ensure continued prosperity no matter what happens to the currency system.

http://www.pachamama.com/

An alternative commune that emphasizes spiritual awareness and self sufficiency. While their lifestyle might not be everyone's cup of tea, it does show a way spirituality and community can work together.

http://www.pureenergysystems.com/news/2004/05/17/off-grid_college/

A news article about an off the grid Retirement and college community started. This community was started to promote technological advancements and self sufficient lifestyles. I think news articles like these prove a significant amount of people are ready for a radical change that benefits the whole world.

http://www.offthegrid.com/index.html
http://www.off-grid.net/

Resource guides for living off the grid. One of the challenges we face is educating everyone on how to live off the grid. Developing a comprehensive and individualized off the grid report should be easy and succinct enough for everyone.

There are probably alot more examples of living off the grid that I couldn't find in searching for a small amount of time on the web. There are also probably people who haven't setup a website for their living off the grid experience. Thousands of homesteaders in every lifestyle are independantly trying to live a self sufficient lifestyle.

What the zeitgeist plan offers is the endgame of the self sufficient lifestyle-Freedom from most manual labor and the freedom to not worry about financing continued improvements. It will depend upon people who put their principles above flashy doodads. It would mean the end of the manipulation era.

Their government versus Our Government

I think it is important to understand the differences between their government and our government. The New World Order's government is entirely based upon the manipulation of money where a select few can counterfeit currency as much as they want while the vast majority of people are at the mercy of their printing press. Their endgame is to have a whole world government with central authority that dictates terms to individuals without any representation. Today, with a looming global depression and the international call for a worldwide currency they are rushing towards that goal at breakneck speed. If they acheive this one world currency then all the power resides in the hands of those who distribute the currency.

Our government is different on several levels. The people who see possibilities in resource management see no central authority doling out currency or manipulating markets to either terrorize or satisfy its people. Resource management and the knowledgable distribution of resources would be everyone's responsibility. In effect, if everyone knew how much their power plant produced then they could see how much their energy needs compared to everyone else's. If you're of the opinion that this would lead to rampant energy use then take the example of the glowing ball used to track energy usage: http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/27/ambient-orb-power-usage-hack-reduces-energy-consumption-by-40/
According to this study energy users reduced their consumption by 40% just by knowing how much energy they consumed. While the orb was originally intended to punish people for the the false tax scheme of carbon credits for the climate change fraud it backfired and people used it to save money.
I see resource management as a goal past restoring the constitution and having a sound currency. Successful resource management would give the resources of the world back to the people and bolster our sovereignty by knowing about our consumption habits and our load on the global resource pool.

AD&C (Automated Demolition and Construction)

Another Resource Management Group could be called AD&C (Automated Demolition and Construction). Here's how I see this group working with the community:
First, in blighted areas or barren areas that require affordable housing a mostly automated crew would demolish and lay the foundation for building self sufficient structures. The Resource management group gets permission from the municipality to own the property. Once construction is complete the resource management group gives ownership to the community as a whole new organization. The community gives the property rights back to the homeowners or store owners after their mortgage is paid. Some occupants might want to be renters and may not want to pay off a mortgage. The renters would be transient owners and have a lease owned by the community. Each house/apartment/store is jointly owned by the community until the individual pays off their mortgage set by the cost of construction.
AD&C would make enough profits to construct communities by incentives from the municipality that it is restructuring and by selling the housing resource to the community. AD &C wouldn't own the property, but it would collect rent and mortgages until cost for the construction were paid in full.

Our Evolutionary Path

There is a pattern of life that many people who study evolution discover. Once a type of creature dominates the world that creature separates into two classes-the predator and the prey. The pattern happened when fish were prevalent in the Devonian Era, it happened when euparkeria emerged in the early triassic to become the Dinosaurs and it happened when tiny shrew like mammals rose up from the death of the Dinosaurs in the early Tertiary Period to become a cat and a mouse. Today we, as a species, have taken over the world. Now the only question is when will our species deviate into two classes-the predator and the prey.
Some people believe the end for one homo sapiens species will come soon. Here is the article pushing the two species agenda:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6057734.stm

I believe the predator is already here and while they do not feed literally on others of our species they do accelerate their prey's deevolution into suberviant drones.
Many people do not realize every second of their life they are evolving. One egg or sperm cell can be altered irrevocably depending upon its environment, so one child could be completely different depending upon the environment and the time the parent concieves. Here is an article which explains one of many phenomenons that changes the genome: http://www.ehponline.org/members/2006/114-3/focus.html
The environment is what the predator is manipulating to deevolve its prey.

The human predator today is accelerating thier human prey's deevolution by introducing toxins such as depleted uranium, genetically modified organisms, petroleum products and other chemicals to disrupt or mutate the genetic code. Whether the predator's succeed or not depends on the prey's ability to understand their methods and counteract them.

The only solution in our society today is to stop including yourself within the system and educate yourself and others on the poisons we face on a daily basis. Maybe then we'll have a chance to live as one species and stop the animalistic cycle of life that always splits one species into two.

Their Endgame Vs. Our Endgame

Before talking about opposing sides I want to reiterate my assertion we're all linked. "They" is not really a person, even if some people are using or being used by an opposing strategy. "They" really refers to a spirit that wants to strip the human condition or entirely destroy humans. So,when I refer to "their endgame" it's really an endgame that is opposed to anyone with a moral conscious for life.

Here is their endgame in a nutshell: Issue Identification marks to every human on earth and track them with these marks. Issue "credits", which are really fraudulent numbers in a central computer for each human. These credits can be taken away at any time by the ruling class. Further isolate and dumb down the mass of population so they become automatons only able to serve a few dynastical elite. Whatever the elite say to do the population must do otherwise they'll have their credits taken. Some of these elite would actually prefer destroying 80-90% of the population. All of the resources would be owned by the ruling class.

Here is the endgame I see for the proponents of the Venus Project: All of the resources are decentralized and monitored by individuals as often as they like. No one is issued any credits, there is no wealth generation. The only generation is new inventions, better ways of completing some task or creative works of art. Whatever the individual wants to do within the limits of not hurting other people that individual can do. The only government is the experimental method of finding better ways to avoid crime. Everyone is informed about the world's population and the food and water needs for the population. No one is restricted from having children or taking multiple wives, but they and their neighbors know the resources of the world so they are concious of the implications of having children. Because scarcity for everything throughout history is to maximize profit I doubt anyone would be without abundant supplies.

Here are some questions I have:

How do we achieve our endgame?
My answer, given in another blog, is incrementally by a vote from individual communities.

Wouldn't we be crushed by the military the elite have amassed around themselves?
It really depends on who is on our side and who is on their side. The power for change always come from individuals.

How to roll out Resource Management

Before viewing the Zeitgeist Addendum movie I had already thought of four companies that I wanted to start to get people more off the grid. I've thought for a long time about how to best achieve sustainability among the majority of people so we can stop paying into the monopoly that the energy and food companies have over the people. Now I realize these companies should really be resource managers and form microcosms of the future.
Before explaining each resource management entity I think it's important to talk about the important points Alex Jones has brought to the Zeitgeist Addendum plan. On Tuesday, October 14th on his radio show Alex Jones stated that the only way a self sustainable program would work is if the community who wants the system to vote for it and make it law and that the system would need to be regional under the local control of that community. As long as the vote isn't fraudulent I agree and this is the way I see any of these programs being adopted before Alex Jones mentioned the movie on his radio show.
Here are the Resource Management Systems I envision:

Undead Motors: Converting current cars to renewable energy or creating cars within communities. The community would be able to monitor their power usage and fuel usage, whatever that may be. No one has control over the power for individual vehicles, but everyone is aware what is being used for transportation.
The next step would be automated factories that produce renewable cars that are free to the community. The community would be responsible for maintaining their cars and their energy. Would you rather pay on average $10,000 every five years for a car, along with all the things like oil change, buying gas,etc. that come with a current car-or would you rather spend $10,000 once to make a factory that builds cars and spend maybe 2 hours every week to help maintain that factory? The Choice would be the community's. Inter community Maglev trains could grow the renewable energy and link communities who monitor their combined resources.

Natural Energy: Creation of Renewable Power Plants for the use of the community. I see this as most likely the first step to get communities off the grid. The Community could monitor what the community uses from the power plant and the power plant doesn't need to supply all the power. Individual homes could either become more energy efficient or they could incorporate energy producing technology into their homes. New homes could be modeled after the venus project or homes at http://www.earthship.com/.

World Cooperative: Food and Water distribution for the community. This could start as a local garden and then grow into a fully automated growing, drying or freezing facility used by the community. Using technology to automate the growing process for food and distribution would be the difference between a normal garden and the world cooperative.

Bright Minds: A teaching network for everything the community needs to become self sufficient. Every topic is covered and entered into a community database for easy searching for any topic of information. Individuals for every community offers their skills and puts down their knowledge in a complete dossier. Either people can teach in person or via webcamera. Children are taught in community centers with the database of the community stored, or they can take it home and learn at their own pace.
Accreditations for skills learned are issued on the knowledge available to the community. For example if someone demonstrates a need to work on power plants they can learn and become accredited to work on the machinery in the power plant.

Where will the money come from for each of these resource managers? The initial seed money will come from the community that voted for the change. The money for additional repairs or updates will also come from the community until the resource manager is able to supply other communities. For example, if a community builds a power plant that supplies all of that communities energy needs and has more energy than required then it could sell to other monetary based systems. The initial benefits that might escape someone is the savings from having energy without any required monthly payment or a car without any monthly payments.

Where will the manpower come from each of these resource managers? Once again that is dependant upon the community. Each community dedicates a certain amount of time and make it understood if someone from that community doesn't do their part then either they are not allowed to use that common resource or they are charged money for the use of the resource without the work necessary to keep the system alive.

Some people might balk because this isn't exactly the vision offered by the venus project. To some it appears the venus project asks for an all or nothing dedication from the entire world. I view the venus project as the end game we're all trying to achieve-individual sovereignty and giving people the abundance they're entitled to from the common natural resources of the world. I also see the endgame as needed to succeed in stages that can come from a number of different areas-one is setting up resource management entities, another could be constructing experimental totally self contained communities, another could be teaching about the abundance the earth provides that is held down by the dynastical elite, and another could be individually seceding from the energy, food and money grids then getting your neighbor off the grid. Whatever way to get around the money system I see the key automation, sustainability and decentralization by knowledge about our environment spread over the entire community.

Renewable Transportation

There are several easily renewable technologies today that enable transportation today to run without the need to ever refuel using gasoline and some do not even require a battery to operate.

Solar Energy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_car
A solar vehicle is an electric vehicle powered by a type of renewable energy, by solar energy obtained from solar panels on the surface (generally, the roof) of the vehicle. Photovoltaic (PV) cells convert the Sun's energy directly into electrical energy. Solar vehicles are not practical day-to-day transportation devices at present, but are primarily demonstration vehicles and engineering exercises, often sponsored by government agencies.

Wind Power
Here's one possibility:
http://www.wisegeek.com/contest/how-does-a-wind-powered-car-work.htm
The wind powered car that I have in mind is such that it converts wind power to electric energy which in turn moves the vehicle.
This concept is conceived from the fact that as you drive down your street and you put your hand out of the windows, you feel the enormous force of the wind, which in my view will do the world so much good especially in these troubling times of global warming.
In my minds eye, the vehicle will be such that there’s an intake valve seated on the roof to amass all the wind needed to power the car. An alternator connects to the to the intake valve which converts the kinetic energy to electrical energy. This electrical energy is connected to a DC battery pack which is the source of power to a controller. This controller converts the DC voltage to AC three phase voltage with the help of power diodes.
The accelerator is connected to the controller with cable through a pair of potentiometers which act as variable resistors to regulate the speed of the vehicle. The vehicle is very efficient because it has relatively few revolving parts and thus making it very fast. When the accelerator is floored, the full voltage is given out by the controller and when the pressure on the accelerator is taken off no power(zero power) is given off by the controller.
This vehicle uses a direct motor to wheel configuration which increases power. Multiple motors are connected to the wheels to increase both propulsion and braking system.
It also has a single gear system which is identical to the automatic gear system. This system utilizes the torque of the motor being a function of the current to improve upon the overall efficiency of the car.
The brake system relies on vacuum braking system which derives its braking force from atmospheric pressure on the lower side of the piston of the vacuum brake cylinder while a vacuum is maintained.
The aircondition can also be maintained and operated with a motor as well.
The wind taken in by the intake of the car is enough to cool the motors and prevent them from overheating and thus increasing efficiency of the vehicle.
Wind power continually charges the battery bank which is the main feature of this vehicle and there is no stipulated time for charging because as you drive, your battery bank is continually charged. There is a volt meter that tracks the flow of current to and from the battery bank.

Brake Regeneration
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Regeneration_Brake
The Energy Regeneration Brake was the name for a system designed to automatically switch an electric motor into a generator as the vehicle slowed. Braking energy is captured so that batteries can be recharged, thus increasing the range of the automobile.
The system was first developed in 1967 by American Motors Corporation (AMC) in cooperation with Gulton Industries[1] for an experimental battery powered city car.[2] This concept car was called Amitron and its later iteration, the Electron. To achieve longer battery life between charges, the Amitron would have a "regenerative braking system" to generate battery-charging power as the car is slowed.[3]

Biofuel
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofuel
Biofuel is defined as solid, liquid or gas fuel derived from recently dead biological material and is distinguished from fossil fuels, which are derived from long dead biological material. Theoretically, biofuels can be produced from any (biological) carbon source; although, the most common sources are photosynthetic plants. Various plants and plant-derived materials are used for biofuel manufacturing. Globally, biofuels are most commonly used to power vehicles, heating homes cornstoves and cooking stoves.

Magnetic Levitation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maglev_train
MAGLEV, or magnetic levitation, is a system of transportation that suspends, guides and (usually) propels vehicles, predominantly trains, using magnetic forces. This method has the potential to be faster, quieter and smoother than wheeled mass transit systems, potentially reaching velocities comparable to turboprop and jet aircraft (900 km/h, 600 mph).

Smart Materials

When constructing new houses or transportation there are materials that can make privacy and proximity possible. These materials can also change shape depending on the conditions.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_materials
Smart materials are materials that have one or more properties that can be significantly changed in a controlled fashion by external stimuli, such as stress, temperature, moisture, pH, electric or magnetic fields.
There are a number of types of smart material, some of which are already common. Some examples are as following:
Piezoelectric materials are materials that produce a voltage when stress is applied. Since this effect also applies in the reverse manner, a voltage across the sample will produce stress within the sample. Suitably designed structures made from these materials can therefore be made that bend, expand or contract when a voltage is applied.
Shape memory alloys and shape memory polymers are Thermoresponsive materials where deformation can be induced and recovered through temperature changes.
Magnetic shape memory alloys are materials that change their shape in response to a significant change in the magnetic field.
pH-sensitive polymers are materials which swell/collapse when the pH of the surrounding media changes.
Temperature-responsive polymers are materials which undergo changes upon temperature.
Halochromic materials are commonly materials that change their colour as a result of changing acidity. One suggested application is for paints that can change colour to indicate corrosion in the metal underneath them.
Chromogenic systems change colour in response to electrical, optical or thermal changes. These include electrochromic materials, which change their colour or opacity on the application of a voltage (e.g. liquid crystal displays), thermochromic materials change in color depending on their temperature, and photochromic materials, which change colour in response to light - for example, light sensitive sunglasses that darken when exposed to bright sunlight.
Non-Newtonian fluid is a liquid which changes its viscosity in response to an applied shear rate. In other words the liquid will change its viscosity in response to some sort of force or pressure. One good example of this is Oobleck, a fluid that seems to temporarily turn into a solid when a force is applied quickly.[1] Another good example is Custard, as long as it is starch based.

Renewable Power Plants

There are several types of renewable power plants that can be fully automated.

Geothermal Power plants
http://www1.eere.energy.gov/geothermal/powerplants.html
There are three geothermal power plant technologies being used to convert hydrothermal fluids to electricity. The conversion technologies are dry steam, flash, and binary cycle. The type of conversion used depends on the state of the fluid (whether steam or water) and its temperature. Dry steam power plants systems were the first type of geothermal power generation plants built. They use the steam from the geothermal reservoir as it comes from wells, and route it directly through turbine/generator units to produce electricity. Flash steam plants are the most common type of geothermal power generation plants in operation today. They use water at temperatures greater than 360°F (182°C) that is pumped under high pressure to the generation equipment at the surface. Binary cycle geothermal power generation plants differ from Dry Steam and Flash Steam systems in that the water or steam from the geothermal reservoir never comes in contact with the turbine/generator units.

Biomass Power Plant
http://www.memagazine.org/backissues/october97/features/biomass/biomass.html
Waste is a terrible thing to waste. Biomass—an energy resource derived from the carbonaceous waste of various natural and human activities—is no exception, as its use in producing electricity is on the rise. Feeding that growth is the need for inherently cleaner, more- efficient, and more-stable means of power generation.

Wave Generators
http://www.wavepartner.eu/page_1219330357093.html
And the solution (to a high priced generator) is simple, we can use basic items, as wire, plastic barrels, one way bearings, pulley, an axle, flywheel and generator.
That is the main components, in what up to day, is the cheapest wave energy technology in the world. It can even be built in wood or by choice bicycle parts! This is very good, in countries which have limited access to expensive metals, and heavy machining tools. Most of the parts in a generator, except wiring, can be made of wood or plastics.

Wind Power Plants
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power
Wind energy is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions when it displaces fossil-fuel-derived electricity. Therefore, it is considered by experts to be more environmentally friendly than many other energy sources.

My understanding of the universe

My understanding of the universe is a spiritual and scientific certainty that we are all connected. From Wheeler-Feynman Quantum Physics equations I know:
http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Wolff-Feynman-QED.htm
"Wheeler and Feynman’s work goes beyond explaining radiation forces because energy transfer and the motion of matter are fundamental processes of nature. Further their concept, that the whole universe contributes to each electron, implies an inter-connection, i.e., Every charged particle is part of the universe and the universe is part of each charged particle."

In other words, Quantum physics finds that every atom of our being is connected to every other atom throughout the universe.

The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox further solidifies this knowledge
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPR_paradox
The EPR paradox draws on a phenomenon predicted by quantum mechanics, known as quantum entanglement, to show that measurements performed on spatially separated parts of a quantum system can apparently have an instantaneous influence on one another.
An example:
We have a source that emits pairs of electrons, with one electron sent to destination A, where there is an observer named Alice, and another is sent to destination B, where there is an observer named Bob. According to quantum mechanics, we can arrange our source so that each emitted electron pair occupies a quantum state called a spin singlet. This can be viewed as a quantum superposition of two states, which we call state I and state II. In state I, electron A has spin pointing upward along the z-axis (+z) and electron B has spin pointing downward along the z-axis (-z). In state II, electron A has spin -z and electron B has spin +z. Therefore, it is impossible to associate either electron in the spin singlet with a state of definite spin. The electrons are thus said to be entangled.

The EPR paradox was proven by Bell Labs when they instaneously transferred a photon from one space to another: http://www.springerlink.com/content/u3724h30844551un/fulltext.pdf?page=1

Three Dimensional Printing

Today anything can that can be drawn can be automatically manufactured by a three dimensional printing process. Here's one site that sells 3-d printers: http://www.dimensionprinting.com/
Streamline Your Designing: Dimension 3D Printers are priced for office use, so you can create onsite perfect working models directly from your CAD, made of tough ABS plastic that can be sanded, milled, even painted. And that’s just the beginning:

Beamed Electricity

Tesla discovered beamed electricity at least 100 years ago. Here is his incomplete wardenclyffe experiment where he was going to give electricity to the entire world: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wardenclyffe_Tower
However, in 1903, when the tower structure was near completion, it was still not yet functional due to last-minute design changes. Tesla intended for the tower to demonstrate how the ionosphere could be used to provide free electricity to everyone without the need for power lines. Morgan, who could not foresee any financial gain from providing free electricity to everyone, balked. Construction costs eventually exceeded the money provided by Morgan, and additional financiers were reluctant to come forward.[4] By July 1904, Morgan (and the other investors) finally decided they would not provide any additional financing. Morgan also encouraged other investors to avoid the project.
Today the United States Army uses Tesla's design not to help humanity, but rather for warfare in their weapon known as HAARP. Here is the government site:
http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/
and here's the truth about HAARP:
http://www.haarp.net/

Today beamed electricity is a reality, but one that comes with a price tag. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19098305/from/ET/
Radio waves, and microwaves, could be used to transfer energy, and then get picked up with antennas. But these types of energy transfer are not very safe or efficient because the waves spread in all directions and so most of the energy is lost to the surrounding.
Soljacic and colleagues, however, suggest using a power transmitter to fill the space with a “non-radiative” electromagnetic field.
A “non-radiative” electromagnetic field is a state of electric and magnetic fields which are localized someplace on the device and in the source, said John Joannopoulos, a researcher from MIT. “Localized means that electromagnetic fields will die off as you go away from the device or the source.”

So it is possible to not even need cords from a main generator.

Solar Energy

Solar Energy can be harnessed in several ways. Three novel ways that I have found are:
1) Spray on Solar Cells: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/01/0114_050114_solarplastic.html
Scientists have invented a plastic solar cell that can turn the sun's power into electrical energy, even on a cloudy day.
The plastic material uses nanotechnology and contains the first solar cells able to harness the sun's invisible, infrared rays. The breakthrough has led theorists to predict that plastic solar cells could one day become five times more efficient than current solar cell technology.
Like paint, the composite can be sprayed onto other materials and used as portable electricity. A sweater coated in the material could power a cell phone or other wireless devices. A hydrogen-powered car painted with the film could potentially convert enough energy into electricity to continually recharge the car's battery.
2) High efficiency 3-D Solar Cells that capture sunlight, and unseen wavelengths of light(UV):
http://gtresearchnews.gatech.edu/newsrelease/3d-solar.htm
Unique three-dimensional solar cells that capture nearly all of the light that strikes them could boost the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) systems while reducing their size, weight and mechanical complexity.
The new 3D solar cells capture photons from sunlight using an array of miniature "tower" structures that resemble high-rise buildings in a city street grid. The cells could find near-term applications for powering spacecraft, and by enabling efficiency improvements in photovoltaic coating materials, could also change the way solar cells are designed for a broad range of applications.
3) Stirling engine Solar Collector
http://www.reuk.co.uk/Stirling-Engine-Solar-Power.htm
The Stirling engine was developed in 1816 by Robert Stirling in order to offer an alternative to the frequently explosive early steam engines. Basically a closed cylinder containing a piston and helium, nitrogen or hydrogen gas is heated at one end by concentrated sunlight, and cooled at the other end by air or water. As the gas expands and cools with the movement of the piston, a generator can be driven to produce electricity. (If the engine is run in reverse then it produces a cooling effect acting as a 'Stirling cooler'.With a Stirling engine combustion occurs outside the engine which made it much safer and less likely to explode. They didn't catch on the nineteenth century because of the costs of manufacture despite exceptional efficiency of almost 50% in some cases.
An array of concave mirrors focus the sun's rays onto a single point which drives a four-cylinder stirling engine which turns a 25 kW generator. The solar collector is over 10 metres across and it currently costs 1/4 million dollars.
Collectors can be connected together into arrays in order to generate larger amounts of electricity. There are currently proposales to erect a 20,000 dish array somewhere in the sunny South West of the USA to pump out 500 MW of power - more than many nuclear or fossil fuel power stations.Stirling engines can also be used with geothermal heat, waste industrial heat, to generate electricity.

Automated Food Production

When designing an automated food production facility it is important to understand the theory behind permaculture so the users of the facility are able to harvest enough for their needs:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permaculture
Modern permaculture is a system design tool. It is a way of
-looking at a whole system or problem;
-observing how the parts relate;
-planning to mend sick systems by applying ideas learnt from long-term sustainable working -systems;
seeing connections between key elements (parts).
In permaculture, practitioners learn from the working systems of nature to plan to fix the damaged landscapes of human agricultural and city systems. This thinking applies to the design of a kitchen tool as easily to the re-design of a farm. Permaculture practicioners apply it to everything deemed necessary to build a sustainable future.

The degree of automation in Food Production depends on the items being harvested.
Automated Produce is the easiest to maintain and the most thoroughly investigated:
http://www.hydro.co.nz/1_information/1_greenhouse/info_greenhouse.html
The benefits that a fully automated greenhouse control systems bring to the grower are many. Obviously, there will be the labour saving aspect but far more importantly, factors such as improved quality of produce and information gathering can mean the difference between earning a profit or suffering substantial losses. Automation includes automation of the environment, automation of fertiliser dosing and automation of irrigation. Autogrow Systems manufactures a range of equipment in these general areas ranging from the simple to advanced models.
There are different varieties of produce harvesting that can also be implemented such as hydroponics:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permaculture
Hydroponics is a technology for growing plants in nutrient solutions (water containing fertilizers) with or without the use of an artificial medium (sand, gravel, vermiculite, rockwool, perlite, peatmoss. coir, or sawdust) to provide mechanical support. Liquid hydroponic systems have no other supporting medium for the plant roots: aggregate systems have a solid medium of support. Hydroponic systems are further categorized as open (i.e., once the nutrient solution is delivered to the plant roots, it is not reused) or closed (i.e., surplus solution is recovered, replenished, and recycled).
In combination with greenhouses, it is high technology and capital-intensive. It is also highly productive, conservative of water and land, and protective of the environment. Yet for most of its employees, hydroponic culture requires only basic agriculture skills. Since regulating the aerial and root environment is a major concern in such agricultural systems, production takes place inside enclosures designed to control air and root temperatures, light, water, plant nutrition, and adverse climate.

In land based meat harvesting there are automated slaughtering techniques for different animals. However, due to the sanitary conditions of these facilities and the poor results of the meat generated it might be best to look towards more free range meat options.

In sea based meat harvesting fisheries have been used to house and process sea animals.

Automated House Building

There are several articles about how to automate building houses

http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/15/rival-robots-prepping-to-automate-home-building/
Rival robots prepping to automate home building
by Paul Miller, posted Jan 15th 2007 at 3:41PM
"Your shoes, clothes and car are already made automatically, but your house is built by hand and it doesn't make sense." That's word from Dr. Behrokh Khoshnevis, whose team at USC is getting ready to debut a $1.5 million robot designed to build homes with zero help from puny humans. The bot should have its first test run in California this April, where it will build the shell of a two-story house in 24 hours. The operation is akin to a 3D inkjet printer, with the robot moving about in three dimensional space, spraying out the home layer by layer. Part of the simplicity of the process comes from the simplicity of the materials: nearly the whole house is built with concrete and gypsum, obviously leaving a bit of work for the decorators, but allowing for complicated shapes and cheap construction -- about a fifth of current costs. A rival robotic house building being developed at Loughborough University takes a week to build a home, but will include fancier designs, including ducts for water, electrical and ventilation. Unfortunately, we'll have to wait around 5 years for that model to hit the market, and by then we'll all be having so much fun driving around in our flying cars we won't even have time to bother with these "home" things.
Also this machine is capable of building houses: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/02/16/business/realestate/main2487598.shtml
From the article:
"For the past ten years he's been working on an idea he calls Contour Crafting, a process by which a concrete mixture-depositing bulky one-armed robot layers rows atop each other until a structure forms. The robot takes its orders from a computer, and prints the concrete onto the earth the way a printer lays down ink. "

How to get around the monetary system

This blogspot was created to discuss living without using money. The impetus for the discussion is the movie Zeitgeist: Addendum that shows a possible future where people manage resources rather than chase money. I envision this starting as a teaching task to alert people to the abundance the world offers and giving them the tools to live a sustainable lifestyle. From there communities might be able to get organized and form autonomous units that provide for everyone. The end goal is to reshape civilization to live without money and find the best way to automate tasks through modern technology.
I'm asking for any bloggers to put forward their ideas on how this can be acheived as efficiently as possible. I'll put forward my ideas as time permits. I'll make this clear, this blog is not a discussion of whether a system without money will work. This blog is intended only to put forward ideas that help people live without the monetary system with sustainable technology.
