The New Money Seminar with Bernard Lietaer scared the Shift right out of me..............
WOW what a seminar!
Nothing about what I was expecting. I got my membership money back in spades with all the new ideas and thoughts I was exposed to tonight. The community time was also very valuable, but I sure got the feeling that I was listening to the band playing while the Titanic was sinking... I don't believe with the fraud and deception in the corporate and goverment worlds that there is any possibility of rehabilitation.
The theory behind the new money is exciting and if you have money in your pocket right now, you owe it to yourself to understand why we have the mess we now have and a possible solution. Check out: http://www.ohiopeakoilaction.org/ for confirmation:
“Your money’s value is determined by a global casino of unprecedented proportions: $2 trillion are traded per day in foreign exchange markets, 100 times more than the trading volume of all the stockmarkets of the world combined. Only 2% of these foreign exchange transactions relate to the ‘real’ economy reflecting movements of real goods and services in the world, and 98% are purely speculative. This global casino is triggering the foreign exchange crises which shook Mexico in 1994-5, Asia in 1997 and Russia in 1998. These emergencies are the dislocation symptoms of the old Industrial Age money system. Unless some precautions are taken soon, there is at least a 50-50 chance that the next five to ten years will see a global money meltdown, the only plausible way for a global depression.”

“There is now [in 2005] a 75 percent chance of a dollar ‘hard landing’ over the next five years.”
~Paul Volker, Former Chairman of the Federal Reserve
I am finding it awfully hard not to click into survival mode.
