Jacques Fresco. Creator of the Venus Project

Imagining a time when mankind moves above and beyond the monetary system, Jacques Fresco has designed some of the most practical models for a sustainable, happy, and free society. Mr. Fresco's concepts are based completely on the resources currently available, not the money supposedly needed to make it reality. The Venus project demonstrates a system which would efficiently and sufficiently, construct, house, and satisfy the needs of all human beings on the planet without the need for money, or governments.

Two People You Should Know About Before Me.

Nassim Haramein.Unified relativistic physics using fractals When all bodies in the known universe obey gravity and electromagnetism, and everything from the smallest hypothetical particle, to the atom, to the surface of a cell, to our sun, and all other stars line up in linear progression on a graph, this might mean that space itself is dividing in a very specific and fundamental way. Using a single fractal model, one can prove the possibility of infinity within a finite space, and it is the pattern that connects us all to each other, and the universe.

in sticking your tongue out, is that those on the receiving end may not believe your sincerity.

That's when you paint a version of how you feel, and make sure those assholes see it.

Sticking out your tongue out is seen as a way to ridicule something or someone. My favorites are the three P's [police, politicians, patriarchal social clubs] The only risk

In the 19th Century; Nearly every Chinese emigrant came to the United States with the help of a consortium of Chinese merchants called the “Six Companies.” As growing resentment based upon racial lines emerged, so did the concept of a Chinatown. In order to protect their investment, the Six Companies employed secret societies called “Highbinders” or “Tongs” that were responsible for maintaining traditional order and policing the Chinese in the US. But many broke away by 1880, and formed even smaller societies.

On Feb 6, 1885, Gun shots were exchanged between rival 'Tongs' in Eureka, California, and a stray bullet struck and killed a city councilman. The collective outrage of the citizens and city officials of Eureka resulted in the

expulsion of the entire Chinese population of Eureka [about 480 people] to San Francisco Following these events, a rash of anti-Chinese violence and expulsions swept through the west.

Sadly, most people rarely take notice of things smaller than themselves; these ppeople are preoccupied by thethe things their money can buybuy.

When attempting a life size poster of a person, animal, anything etc. It seems useful to consider the POV of the person who will see it on the wall. As opposed to a foot or so in front of the wall.

They are the worst result of the environment we live in. Contemporary life is coated in large messages from corporations which attempt to convince us that we will never amount to anything as large.

“The word “person” or “persons”, whenever used shall be deemed to include corporations”

(1890) (Sherman Anti-trust act)

“...corporations are persons...we admit also...that corporations can invoke the benefits of provisions of the constitution and laws which guarantee to persons the enjoyment of property.

(1889) (129 U.S. 26)

Capitalists imagine a world where the money they accumulate today, continually goes towards helping their families, their children, and children's-children, ad infinitum.

This is one reason why the evolution of society has slowed to a crawl. And why any alteration to the current system is met with fear, by those with an interest in its survival
