 “The entire money structure and materialistic orientated society is a false society. Our society will go down in history as the lowest development in man. We have the brains, the knowhow, the technology and the feasibility to build an entirely new civilization.” – Jacque Fresco( Designer of Venus Project)

In 1929,the great depression had occurred around the world. People had faced many problems like food, shelter, paying rents and taxes. During those days, people were relying on heavy industry.  Construction was virtually halted in many countries. Farming and rural areas suffered as crop prices fell by approximately 60%. Facing plummeting demand with few alternate sources of jobs, areas dependent on primary sector industries such as cash cropping, mining and logging suffered the most.

At present, we see our economic system, socialism, communism, fascism, or the free enterprise system haven’t eliminated the problems of elitism, nationalism, racism , and most important of all scarcity.

When money is used to regulate and distribute resources for profit and people in nation s are out for themselves. They will seek advantages at any cost. They do this by maintaining a competitive edge or through military intervention. War represents the supreme failure of nations to resolve their differences.  Most wars are for the control of resources and maintaining the position of differential advantage. They build nuclear weapons and bio weapons to wipe out innocent people. Soldiers were train to kill people other than to go and bridge the differences between countries. Over 100,000 companies feed at the pentagon trough. But the ‘big money’ goes to a handful of huge corporations. War leads us to hunger, poverty, homelessness and unemployment. The acceptance of these conditions as expressive of human nature is a ‘myth’ used to keep things as they are.

We are not born with greed, envy, hatred or purgatory. Our behaviour and values are reflective of our culture we are exposed to. Social and environmental problems will remain forever unless few nations control most of the earth’s resources and the bottom line is profit over the well being of people. Putting profit first results in unnecessary suffering and abbreviate behaviour. We have 1000 and 1000 of laws to solve our problems and restrict illegal activities between people and nations. But they are constantly been broken. Even a peace treaty cannot prevent another war. If highly ethical people are ruling the nations and are out of resources, people will still lie, cheat, steal and do corruption to the society. It’s not ethical people we want, but rather intelligently managing the earth’s resources for everyone’s well being.

Money does not represent any real and there is no gold, silver or resources to back it up. You cannot eat money or build a house out of it. It’s not even related to build real capacities of goods and services on this planet. The monetary system has been handed out centuries ago and we continue to use it without questions. If banks collapse, we build more debts and purchasing power goes down leading to the collapse of our system. The federal government are not allowed to print money or to lend money or getting into banking business. That is the privileged to bankers only. So if government wants to build an air force bringing 2000 planes a month, they have to borrow money from private lending institutions, sign the dotted line, and if the war is lost or failed, the burden falls to the public to pay of that debt.

“History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over government by controlling money and its issuance.”

- James Madison

 Earth is still abundant with resources. Our practice of rationing the resources through monetary control is no longer relevant and is actually counterproductive to our very survival. Today we have highy advanced technologies but our social and economic system has not kept up with our technological capabilities which could otherwise easily create a world of abundance for all, free of servitude and death. We can do this by managing our available resources intelligently for everyone. We do have an alternative way to solve our present problems. It’s called ‘resource based economy’ were all goods and services is available to everyone without the use of money, barter, credit, debt or servitude of any kind.
