that it&#39;s impossible create &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://eqafe.com/i/nnydahl-equal-money-future-of-money-volume-1&quot;&gt;a system that satisfies all&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - which is a rather definitive position coming from a group that stress that they&#39;re only objectively studying trends. At our universities they are talking about so-called &quot;trade-off&quot; - a situation that involves the loss of a quality or aspect of something in return for another quality or aspect - i.e. balancing the pros and cons of a specific decision. They talk about this trade-off system as if it was something quite natural and necessary and that if you want to make wise decisions you must consider the overall balance of the decision. Furthermore, it is frequently suggested that the overall &quot;well-being&quot; of the economy is of greater importance than how individuals really live.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;This belief that there can&#39;t ever be &lt;a href=&quot;http://eqafe.com/i/nnydahl-what-the-faq-is-equal-money-system-volume-1&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;a system that benefits all&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and that every social policy will always hurt someone and benefit another and that our politicians thus are &quot;forced&quot; to make these &quot;sacrifices&quot; is widespread. This is, however, nothing but a blind acceptance of how things &quot;must&quot; work and a kind of defeatist attitude towards the economy in which one is making oneself less than and inferior to the economic laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-faYqiM2V6gw/T1VeUpbl2-I/AAAAAAAAALc/vTsUh99bjgw/s1600/316365_10150350597033076_632378075_8180867_787118313_n.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;225&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-faYqiM2V6gw/T1VeUpbl2-I/AAAAAAAAALc/vTsUh99bjgw/s400/316365_10150350597033076_632378075_8180867_787118313_n.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Economic laws are often treated by experts in the media and economists at the universities as &quot;natural laws&quot; which no man can rule over and has thus become an important part of maintaining the hopelessness people experience in relation to the system. In fact, all economic laws are based on collective agreements and currently these agreements are opposing the real and physical laws and life itself. What I mean by this is that the current financial arrangements that make up the capitalist system, as the basis for practically all the horrors of the world, dictates that if you lack money you also lack the right to life. A polarized system that dictates that a third of world population must starve for the rest to live in abundance. A system where money has been given a higher value than life and where we put a price tag on that which is given us unconditionally by the earth and sun.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Furthermore, one is often ignoring that these systems would be based on collective agreements since it implies that it is a reflection of individual greed and self-interest, and thus rather blames the leaders and the &quot;system&quot; as something separate from oneself.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Man is the source of all problems and thus also the solution. How money functions is the source of all the world&#39;s problems and horrors and thus also the solution. Humanity must stand up collectively and set aside all ideological differences and opinions to instead do what is practical, mathematically and physically provably best for the whole. Debt, interest, speculation, market fluctuation and &quot;lack&quot; of money are all deliberately created and by no means natural laws that must be followed. Economists who propagate that 20000 children must starve to death every each so that &quot;we&quot; may live in abundance are nothing but criminals and deceivers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;The defenders of capitalism often promote this inherently abusive ideology by comparing life expectancy numbers between capitalistic and non-capitalistic countries. This, however, is one of the cheapest, most flawed and &lt;b&gt;blatantly ignorant&lt;/b&gt; tricks to use. The following is from a site called &quot;Capitalism is Life&quot; (not joking) under the header &lt;i&gt;&quot;More Capitalism = Higher Life Expectancy&quot;&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;Current life expectancy in nations where capitalism has (or recently has had) a significant presence -- abbreviated list.&lt;br /&gt;82 -- Australia&lt;br /&gt;78 -- United States&lt;br /&gt;82 -- Japan&lt;br /&gt;81 -- Israel&lt;br /&gt;80 -- Italy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Current life expectancy in nations where capitalism has only modest presence -- abbreviated list.&lt;br /&gt;71&amp;nbsp; -- Philippines&lt;br /&gt;66&amp;nbsp; -- Russia&lt;br /&gt;70&amp;nbsp; -- Honduras&lt;br /&gt;65&amp;nbsp; -- Pakistan&lt;br /&gt;72&amp;nbsp; -- Egypt&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Current life expectancy in nations where capitalism has little or no presence -- abbreviated list. (It should be noted that these nations receive significant aid from capitalist-leaning nations and would almost certainly have even lower life expectancies without this aid.)&lt;br /&gt;30&amp;nbsp; -- Haiti &lt;br /&gt;45&amp;nbsp; -- Afghanistan &lt;br /&gt;59&amp;nbsp; -- Senegal&lt;br /&gt;53&amp;nbsp; -- Nigeria&lt;br /&gt;62&amp;nbsp; -- Cambodia&lt;br /&gt;48&amp;nbsp; -- Zimbabwe&lt;br /&gt;64&amp;nbsp; -- North Korea&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you by now haven&#39;t figured out why this is so blatantly ignorant, let me explain. Amongst the countries they list under &quot;where capitalism has little or no presence&quot; are Haiti, Afghanistan and Nigeria - they are all countries that &lt;b&gt;share a historical pattern&lt;/b&gt; - namely that they all have been ruthlessly exploited, horded and robbed of resources by capitalistic nations and corporations for hundreds of years and continue being so. In Haiti for example, democratically elected Aristide&#39;s agenda was to nationalize Haiti&#39;s resources - meaning to give the much needed resources back to the people of Haiti instead of allowing the profit of corporations to have a higher priority than the well-being of the people - but before he had the chance to do very much the US army came storming in to defend capitalism and the corporate interests in Haiti that had been exploiting Haiti&#39;s cheap labor force for decades - pinning Aristide with the customary corruption allegations and forcing him to flee his country. Since then the influence of IMF and the World bank that follow their usual Keynesian mob doctrine of destroying the domestic agriculture and industry by pushing nations to drop their social policies and import restrictions (that are designed to protect farmers and citizens) and open up for market liberalism and free trade so that foreign companies can exploit people being paid next to nothing - basically forcing nations that once were self-sustaining &quot;bread baskets&quot; to rely on import for so called &quot;debt relief&quot; in return - has increased. This doctrine has of course left millions of farmers unemployed and many of them are forced to work in so called &quot;free zones&quot; where they produce big brand clothes in sweatshops for &quot;the lucky few&quot; in the developed countries, under horrible conditions and minimal wages. Haiti is just one example of the dark side of capitalism - the negative polarity to our prosperity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no way that every nation on earth could be wealthy and prosperous within the capitalist system - there is simply no room for it, simply not enough money for it. Inequality and lack is an essential gear in the machinery of capitalism, and these people promoting capitalism are fully aware of it. After all - who would produce our cheap and fancy gadgets and clothes if it weren&#39;t for the cheap labor force in the third world?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Placing each nation on the list within a historical context, instead of going into this stance of superiority where one quite spitefully judge, point one&#39;s fingers and, as with North Korea, label the nations as &quot;crazy&quot; and &quot;evil&quot;, can be a remedy to not fall for the cheap tricks exposed within this blog. I suggest you further investigate the British imperialist/colonial legacy in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.revolutionarycommunist.org/index.php/international/1483-nigeria-imperialist-thirst-for-oil-devastates-a-nation--frfi-192-aug--sep-2006.html&quot;&gt;Nigeria&lt;/a&gt;, Zimbabwe and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.workers.org/2010/world/imperialism_0916/&quot;&gt;Afghanistan&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let&#39;s prosper together, all as one as equal:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://equalmoney.org/&quot;&gt;http://equalmoney.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the dark polarity of capitalism:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqHiGwxLIMM&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqHiGwxLIMM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listen to Marlen as she exposes the &quot;Capitalism is Life&quot;

I also ask myself what the hell it is we are celebrating, really. What is there to celebrate in a world where 1.3 billion people starve because they lack money? What is there to celebrate in a world where atrocious wars rage on for the sake of monetary profit? What is there to celebrate in a world where 2 million children are kidnapped and trafficked for sexual exploitation? What is there to celebrate in a world of 215 million child laborers? Well over 6 million children starved to death this year in a world of abundance. The same will happen next year and the year after that, if we aren’t politically and democratically implementing a system that will grant everyone on earth an equal and unconditional access to the basic necessities we all require to live a dignified life and make sure that no one will ever again have to suffer because of lack of money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New Year’s Eve is yet another money driven illusion that diverts our attention from what needs to be done, but remember that Bliss is Ignorance and that this ignorance always has deer consequences in store for us.

My friend at the time both studied and at the same time had to work to be able to support himself, if only barely. This is the situation for many students where I live – and this in Sweden, a country that is generally considered to be one of the best countries to live in, with the highest living standard. Committing to higher studies is hard enough as it is, and having to work at the same time and in addition barely having enough money to sustain yourself is&lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt; taking its toll &lt;/b&gt;on the students. Recent studies show that one in five in the age group 20-25 in Sweden suffers from stress symptoms such as anxiety and sleep deprivation, which is a three times increase in 15 years – all due to the deregulation of the job market (a deregulation that is justified with the &lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;magic political trick-in-the-hat words&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;job creation&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;). These stress symptoms in time lead to more severe diseases, such as heart and stomach conditions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;The students and other marginalized and exploited groups, such as the immigrants, desperate as they are, have to take low-paid temporary youth jobs within the service sector with quite bad working conditions where the employers push their employees to the limit. These employees basically don&#39;t dare to question the unreasonable demands of the companies, and the companies are well aware of this. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;In addition these groups have to endure accusations of being “lazy” and “whiny” by the prosperous part of society.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;Having to go hungry at the end of each month, always with the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;gnawing worry&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that you might have enough money to support your physical body with the food it requires or not being able to pay the rent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;for your often tiny and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot;&gt;mismanaged&lt;/span&gt; student housing is certainly not something I wish for anybody to go through.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3cOpYMFEKz0/TuZcvlCokSI/AAAAAAAAAI8/2v_-D6DgreU/s1600/308848_10150350654743076_632378075_8181219_1893598925_n.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;225&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3cOpYMFEKz0/TuZcvlCokSI/AAAAAAAAAI8/2v_-D6DgreU/s400/308848_10150350654743076_632378075_8181219_1893598925_n.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot;&gt;Instead imagine going to your local food distribution center, picking up what you require for you and your family without ever having to worry about lacking money – the food unconditionally produced by the earth, the water and the sun – and at one point also &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;produced by yourself&lt;/b&gt; within the mandatory 4 year &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWW8DKGL7bM&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;conscription&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/a&gt;system of the Equal Money System. Obviously there will be a limit to what you can pick up each month, managed and monitored by the electronic microchip based credit system, which will indicate if you’ve already got what you require (a limit that obviously won’t be at a minimum, but a properly and scientifically measured &amp;nbsp;level of actual physical requirements). Imagine a food “store” without any price tags or luring and deceiving adverts. Imagine a food store with products based on &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #93c47d;&quot;&gt;physical laws&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #93c47d;&quot;&gt;Common Sense&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; instead of &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;mind laws&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;Commercial Sense&lt;/b&gt;, which actually and physically supports your body. Imagine being able to study completely without the constant stress and worry of not having enough money.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;

The increasing demand for the so-called “green fuel” in the western world send the remaining rain forests of South-east Asia up in smoke at an ever faster pace. Once the land has been cleared by fires, oil palm plantations are planted. Since oil palms are trees which carry out photosynthesis and which store carbon dioxide, they are classed as “climate neutral” and can be traded as carbon sinks under the Kyoto Protocol. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;The&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;rain&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;forests of&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;Latin America&lt;/span&gt; are mainly &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;pushed&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;aside by&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;soy&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;plantations&lt;/span&gt; for the meat industry. The whole “green” and “bio” movement is clearly nothing but a capitalist &lt;b&gt;marketing trick&lt;/b&gt; that we gladly swallow without any questions. &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;The production of&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;palm oil&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;is&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;in fact&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;a major environmental&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;disaster that&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;is the basis&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;for &lt;/span&gt;the pillaging of natural environments that undermines biodiversity – oil palm plantations support very low levels of biodiversity, meaning most of the plants and animals once found in the rain forest must either move or perish. Furthermore, the working conditions at these plantations are quite horrible with extremely low wages and unsafe working conditions where the workers are forced to work with lethal pesticides without any protection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The deforestation leads to natural catastrophes as the forest more than often act as a natural protection net against storms, cyclones and water masses. This is also something the corporations and the whole capitalist machinery gain on because: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot; style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot;&gt;disasters&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;shorttext&quot; style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot; style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot;&gt;equals&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;shorttext&quot; style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot; style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;rising profits&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot;&gt; When&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot;&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;an&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;area&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;is&lt;/span&gt; struck by &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;disasters, such as&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;in Sri&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;Lanka and Thailand&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;after the tsunami,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;the corporations rush to the disaster area like hungry sharks&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot;&gt;Profits&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;and competition&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;is what drives&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;capitalism and its&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;consequences&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;now threaten&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;the world.&lt;/span&gt; In contrast, capitalism is &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;presented by its&lt;/span&gt; defenders &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;as something that&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;is&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;based on&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;human needs&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;and argues that&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;it responds to&lt;/span&gt; the &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;&quot;&lt;/span&gt;consumer demand&quot; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;for&lt;/span&gt; life’s &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;necessities&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;and&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;luxuries&lt;/span&gt;, and &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;points to&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;improvements&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;in income and&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;quality of life reached only by a &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;minority &lt;/b&gt;of the world&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;The trading of the earth as the physical platform we are birthed from and sustained by for mental based desires fueled by the consumerism system has to stop.

It is the current conditions of survival that has formed us into greedy and self-interested beings and thus the condition of absolute equality, where no single one will lack accessibility to the basic necessities required to live an effective life in dignity, will form us into beings that consider the whole. Furthermore &lt;a href=&quot;http://desteniiprocess.com/&quot;&gt;education &lt;/a&gt;will be focused on the common sense understanding that what is best for the group is also best for the individual and that if the individual is harming the well-being of the group the individual is in fact harming itself. The &lt;a href=&quot;http://equalmoney.org/&quot;&gt;Equal Money System&lt;/a&gt; will be based in practical needs instead of mental wants and be strict in the control and distribution of necessities and thus make sure that everybody gets what they require. The whole distribution net is already effectively in place, with everything from transport vehicles to warehouses and infra-structure – the only difference is that the power will shift from corporations that are only considering their own profit to &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;a centralized network of administrations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that will serve the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #93c47d;&quot;&gt;collective interest&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QsV8jiKZbQI/TsrOV6zKlwI/AAAAAAAAAIU/eyAzv9ATqR8/s1600/296.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;202&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QsV8jiKZbQI/TsrOV6zKlwI/AAAAAAAAAIU/eyAzv9ATqR8/s400/296.png&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;The idea that you’re somehow more “accomplished” and “fulfilled” with the amount of things you own is solely a product of consumerism brainwashing through media and advertisement and not based in the actual physical needs/requirements. The desires or “dreams” we call “ours” are not really ours, but in fact the desires and “dreams” the consumerism system has &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;imprinted &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;us with to make us into &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #93c47d;&quot;&gt;effective consumer robots&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; – since the fulfillment of all these ideas require money. And as long as you have money you have the “free choice” to over-consume and be as greedy as you wish no matter what the consequences. The dismantling of the consumerism machinery will release humanity from this “spell” and allow us to realize the importance of physical necessity and cooperation over mind and energy based desires.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://commonsense4every1.blogspot.com/feeds/7244807654527137340/comments/default' title='Kommentarer till inlägget'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9220559107042102984&amp;postID=7244807654527137340' title='0 kommentarer'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9220559107042102984/posts/default/7244807654527137340'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9220559107042102984/posts/default/7244807654527137340'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://commonsense4every1.blogspot.com/2011/11/equal-money-faq-how-do-we-make-sure.html' title='2011 Equal Money FAQ – “How do we make sure people don&#39;t take more than they should?”'/><author><name>Niklas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17933470181420807366</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y8IPEt1bGzw/TPGFCLi-YvI/AAAAAAAAAAM/hGhgnJ54CNo/S220/avatar2.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QsV8jiKZbQI/TsrOV6zKlwI/AAAAAAAAAIU/eyAzv9ATqR8/s72-c/296.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9220559107042102984.post-5219995051948662789</id><published>2011-11-17T13:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-14T19:40:11.335-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="abundance"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="africa"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="capitalism"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="equal money"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="equal money system"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="equalmoney"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="faq"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="fast food"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="food waste"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="overpopulation"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="poverty"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="resources"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="scarcity"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="speculation"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="starvation"/><title type='text'>2011 Equal Money FAQ - &quot;How will we prevent overpopulation?&quot;</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;The idea of overpopulation derives from &lt;span style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;scarcity based economics&lt;/span&gt; and is not the main alarming issue the “experts” in media would have you believe – an idea we are even using to justify the existence of starvation with. In reality there‘s neither a shortage of space nor a shortage of food. Modern day technology allows us to produce much more food than what is used on much less land than what was required before. Using modern day irrigation technology food can furthermore be produced in arid locations that before were considered impossible. In Britain only &lt;span style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;20 million tons of food is thrown away yearly&lt;/span&gt; from homes and supermarkets – &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;storytop&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;half of all the food produced on farms (the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot;&gt;same proportions applies to most&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot;&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;Western countries&lt;/span&gt;) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;storytop&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;– which is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;equivalent to half of the food import needs for the whole of Africa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;the &lt;/span&gt;World Foo&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;d Programme (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wfp.org/hunger&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.wfp.org/hunger&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;the key causes of hunger are: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;color: #93c47d;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;Poverty&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;color: #93c47d;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;War&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;color: #93c47d;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;Over-exploitation of the environment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: #93c47d;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;Poor agricultural infrastructure &lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;–&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;which are all outflows of the current unequal money system. The only thing that stands in the way of feeding the whole planet is thus the current monetary system which dictates that if you lack money you also lack access to all the necessities you require to support your physical existence with. Reducing the population of earth would obviously not solve the problem of inequality, since the capitalistic system is a system that is based on polarity and lack.

So let’s have a look at two examples of some of the most dangerous jobs in the world:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #444444;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: #444444;&quot;&gt;1. Truck Driver and Deliveryman&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The high fatality rates within this work group is due to stressful conditions and many hours of overtime work – it’s not unusual that a truck driver works for 15 hours in a row without even stopping for something to eat. This is due to increasing competition in the field and in its turn increasing demands on fast delivery. On top of drivers being pushed beyond their limits &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;employers are cutting back on safety and the equipment is not as well maintained as it should be – all for an increase in monetary profits. In an &lt;a href=&quot;http://equalmoney.org/&quot;&gt;Equal Money System &lt;/a&gt;safety, proper training and dignified working conditions will obviously be top priority and competition and the demand for profit will no longer be determining factors. As the consumerism system ends only life supporting products will be manufactured and delivered to the different instances in society that require these items. Production will obviously be more locally focused, as the motive to maximize profit within placing factories in nations where you can lower costs by exploiting slave workers will no longer be relevant, and the long distance delivery routes thus no longer an issue. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: #444444;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;2. Coal Miner&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;Working in a coal mine is inherently dangerous. Methane gas trapped in coal seams escapes into tunnels and mine shafts and can cause enormous explosions either instantly killing miners or causing cave-ins trapping the miners. Safety regulations and training varies from country to country and from company to company. China is considered to be the nation that has the highest fatality rate within this work field (6,995 deaths was recorded in 2002). Coal is primarily used as a solid fuel to produce electricity and heat through combustion. The enormous energy &quot;needs&quot; we hear various &quot;experts&quot; talking about are not based in actual real needs, but in keeping the capitalist consumerism machinery running. Within an &lt;a href=&quot;http://equalmoney.org/&quot;&gt;Equal Money System&lt;/a&gt; the focus would shift from producing products that accumulate the most profit to sustainability, necessity and life supporting items – and as research no longer would be profit driven alternative energy sources that doesn&#39;t harm or abuse the earth that currently is and has been deliberately ignored and denied because these methods of producing energy aren’t generating enough profit could be properly developed and implemented. Also, who would want to work as a coal miner if it wasn’t for a desperate need for money?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Duyc0lMrsz8/TsVbQC-A0sI/AAAAAAAAAIE/LSNxA59WzHE/s1600/316195_10150414794061084_706371083_10413998_1020444160_n.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Duyc0lMrsz8/TsVbQC-A0sI/AAAAAAAAAIE/LSNxA59WzHE/s400/316195_10150414794061084_706371083_10413998_1020444160_n.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In conclusion most jobs that are dangerous today are dangerous because of the current system where money has a higher value than life and priority thus is profit over safety. Furthermore many of these jobs are also to a large extent or completely unnecessary and only exist because of a demand that is based in mass consumerism and “free-will” and not what is actually required to sustain the physical existence. Then of course there are jobs that are inherently dangerous that still has to be done, such as &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;fire-fighting&lt;/b&gt; for instance (however it has a rather low fatality rate compared to many jobs - 4.4 fatalities per 100,000 in the US compared to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;18.3 in the truck driving work area)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;. Fire prevention within researching safer machinery, flame safe material and improved warning systems to be implemented everywhere will also be priority, as well as including basic fire prevention in the basic practical common sense training of each human being.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://commonsense4every1.blogspot.com/feeds/6103810355593599812/comments/default' title='Kommentarer till inlägget'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9220559107042102984&amp;postID=6103810355593599812' title='0 kommentarer'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9220559107042102984/posts/default/6103810355593599812'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9220559107042102984/posts/default/6103810355593599812'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://commonsense4every1.blogspot.com/2011/11/equal-money-faq-what-about-dangerous.html' title='2011 Equal Money FAQ - “What about dangerous jobs that require the workers to put their life at risk - will it be allowed?”'/><author><name>Niklas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17933470181420807366</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y8IPEt1bGzw/TPGFCLi-YvI/AAAAAAAAAAM/hGhgnJ54CNo/S220/avatar2.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Duyc0lMrsz8/TsVbQC-A0sI/AAAAAAAAAIE/LSNxA59WzHE/s72-c/316195_10150414794061084_706371083_10413998_1020444160_n.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9220559107042102984.post-4734331857199502468</id><published>2011-10-28T18:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2012-01-14T19:38:47.049-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="brainwashing"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="capitalism"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="consumerism"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="dreams"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="equal money"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="equal money system"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="equality"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="freud"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="fun"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="happiness"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="happy"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="joy"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="media"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="poverty"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="pursue of happiness"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="self-expression"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="starvation"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="success"/><title type='text'>2011 &quot;Can I pursue my personal happiness in an Equal Money System?&quot; - Equal Money FAQ</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Personal happiness and the pursuit of it as it exists today as fueled and maintained by consumerism in separation from what is here is unacceptable and will not exist in an &lt;a href=&quot;http://equalmoney.org/&quot;&gt;Equal Money System&lt;/a&gt;. Currently happiness is based on a set of ideas installed through media within the consumerism system – and the current system supports this pursuit of fulfilling the individual’s self-interest in complete disregard of all other beings. The desires or “dreams” we call “ours” are not really ours, but in fact the desires and “dreams” the consumer system has &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;imprinted &lt;/b&gt;us with to make us into &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;effective consumer robots&lt;/b&gt; – since the fulfillment of all these ideas require money. In the wealthy part of the world our main priority in life has become to fulfill this never ending chase for “happiness” – pursuing the perfect man/woman, the perfect car, the perfect house, the perfect family and so on, the whole “success”-story as pictures installed by media – and all this in a polarized reality where half the population is living in poverty and well over 1 Billion is on the brink of starvation. This pursue of “happiness” keeps us completely entertained and consumed and makes us blind to what is really going on and our “happiness” is in fact &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;limiting the happiness of another&lt;/b&gt;, as our “happiness” is only sustained by keeping the current polarized money system alive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A society completely based on this happiness idea is also creating the polarity as depression when beings can’t live up to these ideas, either because of lack of money or when they realize the complete hollowness in this way of living.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Hnv-KBoqjBc/TqtQ3Ly6UmI/AAAAAAAAAHc/hIsN2NeDja4/s1600/299804_179825958769880_100002274320770_394456_1274703095_n.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;261&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Hnv-KBoqjBc/TqtQ3Ly6UmI/AAAAAAAAAHc/hIsN2NeDja4/s400/299804_179825958769880_100002274320770_394456_1274703095_n.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Within an Equal Money System happiness will no longer be exclusive to an elite with money which in fact will mean the actualization of happiness as the one condition that set the rules that is “lack of money” will be removed.

Within the &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://equalmoney.org/&quot;&gt;Equal Money/Equal Labor System&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; a key point is that all work should be regarded equally valuable and all work thus be remunerated equal to the amount of hours labored. The idea that the doctor is somehow more valuable than the janitor is nothing but ignorance and obviously misses the point of what real physical value is. The physical fact of the matter is that the workers that are currently regarded less than the doctor actually made it possible for the doctor to pursue his career. Would the doctor be able to perform his duties effectively without the cleaners making sure the equi&lt;/span&gt;pment and the surroundings are sanitized? Would the doctor be able to perform his duties effectively without the workers manufacturing the equipment necessary? I could go on and list hundreds of cogs in the cogwheel that are all equally essential for the doctor to be able to perform his duties = take one cog out and the whole machinery would fall apart. This is absolutely self-evident if one considers the Equality equation of 1+1=2.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3NBnvTB_qNY/TqXfbUYAN3I/AAAAAAAAAHU/oxgLFK1l54g/s1600/313893_10150308294468076_632378075_7940363_157314361_n.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;225&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3NBnvTB_qNY/TqXfbUYAN3I/AAAAAAAAAHU/oxgLFK1l54g/s400/313893_10150308294468076_632378075_7940363_157314361_n.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are the justifications as to why the doctor should be paid more than for instance the janitor? Some claim that it is simply “unfair” because the doctor should be having a higher wage due to his/hers longer education, which is based in the belief that “equal choice” actually exist. What one is disregarding within this is that currently it is definitely not within everybody’s “reach” to become a doctor, but determined and limited by the social conditions you inherited and thus are enslaved by, and according to your monetary conditions you make your “choices”. What is also missed is that within the &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://equalmoney.org/&quot;&gt;Equal Money System&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; education would obviously be free and equal for all and money would no longer limit you within making educational choices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other justification for remuneration inequality is that humans require incentive to be motivated and competition to “excel”&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0080ff;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;and develop, and that laziness and stagnation would set in if an Equality based system would be implemented. Here one is not seeing that laziness is actually supported within the current system where the only motivation that exists is money/survival. The only point why we require motivation as money in the current system is because no one really wants to support a system that extensively abuse life. Currently work is solely based in profit/survival and not considering if the duty is actually supporting Life. Within the &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://equalmoney.org/&quot;&gt;Equal Money/Equal Labor System&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; however work would be redefined to what is actually physically beneficial for life and contribute to the betterment of mankind. Thus the motivation would be that of working for the benefit of All Life and thus giving each one a real, practical and physical purpose. Within such a system excellence can be pursued together in unity without it happening at the expense of another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can we even trust doctors within a system where money and profit is the motivator/starting point? In an Equal Money System the doctors that are only “in it” for the money would obviously be rooted out and the whole health-care system would thus be a lot safer with doctors that are “in it” because they actually care and want to assist others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;As you see there is no downside at all with Equal pay/remuneration per labored time, thus all the justifications as to why we should sustain the Unequal Money System is nothing but ignorant and based in a believed superiority/inferiority that is super-imposed on the physical reality. Investigate the &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://equalmoney.org/&quot;&gt;Equal Money System&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; if you understand that the current incentive based system where money and your fear of survival determines all of your choices, stands in the way of actual self-direction and self-expression.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot;

- meaning, you aren&#39;t granted a legal refugee status if you flee for economical reasons.

But how is it not to be oppressed or tortured to starve to death due to lack of money? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These refugees are often called &quot;fortune-hunters&quot; and &quot;opportunists&quot; that go here to exploit the Swedish &quot;welfare system&quot;.

One however can&#39;t help to wonder if the families of the workers that committed suicide are mourning Steve Jobs, or if the child laborers are mourning Steve Jobs – hell, they probably don&#39;t even know who Steve Jobs was.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;The above mentioned notice that celebrates and praises the individual and disregards the collective is based in the idea of &quot;free-will&quot; and ignore the plain and simple fact that all choices stand in relation to and are bonded together with all other points in reality, and thus has consequences and outflows that affect the whole/collective. “Free-will” implies that there are NO consequences of your actions. The world is based on 1+1+1+1 &lt;b&gt;relationships&lt;/b&gt; and each part forms the collective, and it’s in turn the collective action that forms this world. Currently it&#39;s the capitalistic collective/cult that governs the world by accepted and allowed &lt;b&gt;collective agreement. &lt;/b&gt;For instance that money should be scarce, that money should be valued above Life and thus determine the life quality of beings. And we’re all a part of this collective – even the “activists” that are currently resisting and revolting against “the system” in separation and abdication of self-responsibility – failing to see that we&#39;re all tacitly accepting and allowing the current system of abuse. But instead we’re finding scape goats to point our self-righteous fingers at. If one has access to a computer and can read this blog, one in fact is the elite of this world – and if we’re not standing up for a real substantial solution we’re obviously no better than the leaders we’re revolting against. We in fact put the world leaders in place to be able to enjoy the abundance while half the world starves with a clean conscience and then be able to blame the leaders for our collective agreements. Obviously it is unification and self-responsibility within the realization that we in fact are the system instead of separation, blame and resistance that is the key to real change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is also disregarded is that the &lt;b&gt;condition &lt;/b&gt;that allows the “free-thinker” and “free choice” to exist is MONEY and without MONEY you have NO “free choice” currently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QzahHOdDSmY/TpJJ2IiGghI/AAAAAAAAAGw/ogDuwS_Tnak/s1600/320584_10150343356508076_632378075_8141266_1094236849_n.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;260&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QzahHOdDSmY/TpJJ2IiGghI/AAAAAAAAAGw/ogDuwS_Tnak/s400/320584_10150343356508076_632378075_8141266_1094236849_n.jpg&quot; width=&quot;520&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;m not disregarding the individual here – I am saying that the individual is nothing, is invalid, will be disregarded by Life as he disregards Life, if he does not stand up for the collective good as Equality as what it Best for All. Taking our &lt;b&gt;collective-responsibility&lt;/b&gt; AS individuals is the equation that will bring forth heaven on earth. &amp;nbsp;If the individual doesn&#39;t stand for what is Best for the Collective and All Life as Equal, the individual is obviously not worthy of Life. This is not a judgment, but common sense. In fact, he who deems himself more than Life and separates himself from the whole within believing that his “free” thought is important above all, more important than what is Best for All, is creating his own judgment, his own doom, his own undoing. We have collectively fucked up and must thus &lt;b&gt;collectively un-fuck &lt;/b&gt;this reality by standing for collective principles that honors this one reality, this one Life and set aside all &quot;ideological differences&quot; and opinions and unite in &lt;b&gt;the &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot;&gt;common&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;shorttext&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot;&gt;denominator&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt; which is this one physical reality&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt; within which we all have the same basic needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To state that the world needs more &quot;free-thinkers&quot; that “go their own way” is obviously completely deluded. The solution is unification, the solution is equality – and that equality is inevitable – with or without the Human. The free-thinker is quite expandable in the wider perspective.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;The problems of the world – poverty, starvation, pollution – are reflections of humanity, and only exist because WE human beings exist in self-interest and separation of one-another and only consider our own individual self-interest and what makes us &quot;happy&quot;/makes us &quot;feel good&quot; personally. To stand for “free-will” is to support abuse, is to support for separation, is to support ego, is to support greed, is to support spitefulness. If you’re not agreeing that all Life should be supported Equally just so that you can spew your invalid opinions and protect yourself with your “rights” – you are obviously deliberately evil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RSj-P1uKhl4/TpC5AxxtnOI/AAAAAAAAAGo/t9Jx3sctEJg/s1600/254741_10150264547918076_632378075_7526533_1033209_n.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;225&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RSj-P1uKhl4/TpC5AxxtnOI/AAAAAAAAAGo/t9Jx3sctEJg/s400/254741_10150264547918076_632378075_7526533_1033209_n.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;So let’s stand up together and unite for what is actually physically and mathematically provably Best for All Life. Make the only choice that matters and your children and your children’s children will be rewarded in Heaven on Earth. Join the Equal Life Foundation and the drive for an Equal Money System – a system within which the individual may ACTUALLY flourish and where “choice” is not limited and conditioned by the idea of scarce money.

This is the man that basically decides and regulates how much medicine a doctor is able to prescribe to a patient. Dexamphetamine is a highly addictive psycho stimulant which produces increased wakefulness, energy and self-confidence in association with decreased fatigue and appetite. The other main medicines prescribed to patients with the ADHD diagnose are Ritalin, Attenta and Concerta. Although they are considerably milder than pure dexamphetamine they are all drugs releasing dopamine and thus greatly enhance the risk of psychosis, and they are in fact &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;linked to several cases of violence and brutal killings&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An FDA report made in 2006 states the following: &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: black; font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;The most important finding of this review is that signs and symptoms of psychosis or mania, particularly hallucinations, can occur in some patients with no identifiable risk factors, at usual doses of any of the drugs currently used to treat ADHD.&quot;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J6-ZGttVl5U/Tfq7U98a5jI/AAAAAAAAAGI/Jwmf_xzTR7E/s1600/drugs_dees.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;355&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J6-ZGttVl5U/Tfq7U98a5jI/AAAAAAAAAGI/Jwmf_xzTR7E/s400/drugs_dees.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: black; font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last year in Sweden a man diagnosed with ADHD brutally stabbed his girlfriend to death, cut her head off and ate pieces of her body. This man had been on and off Concerta for a while and was with the highest probability psychotic due to the medicine during this brutal killing. Despite this and many other similar cases professor von Knorring wants to see a dramatic increase in prescriptions of drugs like Concerta. Lars von Knorring&#39;s wife, Anne-Liis von Knorring, is another &#39;renowned&#39; Professor of Psychiatry who is known to tour the world with pharmaceutical companies as sponsors to give lectures where she avidly advocates the prescription of drugs to children. Anne-Liis von Knorring was involved in &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;falsifying and distorting statistics and data in a study on Cipramil&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; The study showed that the pill was ineffective and very harmful and even deadly to children, but von Knorring&#39;s greed couldn&#39;t have that. The pharmaceutical company Lundbeck paid von Knorring to falsify the statistics of the Cipramil study, and Forest Labs paid psychiatrists in the United States to promote Cipramil for children, and based its multi-billion dollar sales on the corrupted study that instead falsely showed that Cipramil was safe and effective for children. No legal action has been taken against von Knorring, instead she continues to be a highly respected scientific consultant to the Swedish Medical Products Agency. The von Knorrings are obviously more interested in the size of their purse than the well-being of even children. Are these the kind of people we should allow to be responsible for the evaluation of drug safety? How dumb are we to trust these &#39;experts&#39; that so obviously have a monetary interest in the selling of drugs. I would call them murderers if I wasn’t careful of the possible legal consequences of doing so. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact that the ADHD medicines causes psychotic symptoms is well known and documented, but instead of warning the public, the industry has consistently focused its efforts on expanding the market and as mentioned there are even known cases where officials have been bribed to keep warnings off the labels of the drugs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pharmaceutical industry has always been known for its secrecy and hushing down of the side effects of new psychiatric medication. For instance so called atypical anti-psychotic drugs are being described as virtually harmless compared to the older drugs like Haldol and Thorasin, drugs which were known to cause some serious neurological diseases. However, the side effects of these newer atypical drugs, such as the widely prescribed Zyprexa, are quite alarming and include excessive weight gain and diabetes and according to independent studies it has a mortality rate of 1 in 125. There are about 20 million Zyprexa users worldwide, considering the death rate this gives &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;160000 deaths due to Zyprexa&lt;/b&gt;. But despite the number of actual deaths after treatment with for instance Zyprexa, these drugs are still being prescribed by doctors. Some drugs might be necessary as a chemical bridge to stabilize the human being temporarily, but the way the drugs are used today rather suppress and prolong the issues instead of dismantle them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stimulant medicines cause euphoria and can cause mood swings in some people. It is not unusual that these mood swings become so severe that the patient develops either depression or what the psychiatry diagnose as bi-polar disorder, which leads to even more medicines and problems. What is making it so hard to quit these drugs is the withdrawal symptom that is depression and it&#39;s not unusual that people commit suicide attempting to quit these drugs. One may suspect that the pharmaceutical industry is &lt;b style=&quot;color: #93c47d;&quot;&gt;deliberately designing medicines that create new disorders&lt;/b&gt; for the purpose of making more money. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A large proportion of the patients being prescribed these kinds of medicines are children age 10 or less. The psychiatrists in cahoots with the pharmaceutical industry even make up &#39;disorders&#39; and put them in the DSM-IV bible to be able to push more drugs. One of these &#39;disorders&#39; is for instance called &#39;Oppositional defiant disorder&#39;, which kids who &#39;violate&#39; social norms are labeled with - meaning kids who aren&#39;t &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;conforming to the norms&lt;/b&gt; and rules of the cult are defined as &#39;sick&#39; and &#39;wrong&#39; and are being drugged down. The parents buy into it because they want their child to fit in and to be labeled as &#39;normal&#39; and &#39;sane&#39;, and they put all their trust in the &#39;experts&#39;, without investigating the real issue for their child’s behavior - believing that the doctor act in their best interest. The parents often want a quick fix so that they won’t have to face what they have created, and another reason for this abdication of self-responsibility probably simply is that they don&#39;t have the time to investigate the issues because their hands are tied by the current system of survival. We basically teach these children to rather rely on drugs than to take self-responsibility for what they experience. My stomach turn in disgust by the fact that it has gone as far as psychiatrists prescribing powerful anti-psychotics to pre-school children as young as 2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0D-fwG80grA/Tfq7vCvUGmI/AAAAAAAAAGM/RtNzdD9KNwE/s1600/6a0133f3a4072c970b014e5f216d14970c-400wi.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0D-fwG80grA/Tfq7vCvUGmI/AAAAAAAAAGM/RtNzdD9KNwE/s400/6a0133f3a4072c970b014e5f216d14970c-400wi.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: black; font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ADHD drugs may moderate the hyperactive symptoms of the patient but in no way serves as an actual solution - as mentioned above they have rather been known to cause thought problems and even new or worsening behaviors. In children and teenagers medicated with Concerta, new psychotic symptoms have been reported, such as manic symptoms, as well as hearing voices and seeing or believing things that are not real. Again, it&#39;s not hard to suspect that this is deliberate, since a solution to the mental issues would mean no more patients and would thus put both the pharmaceutical industry and the psychiatrists out of business. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most mental problems have the root in the environment and the conditions created by the current monetary system. A study show that having a stable family environment reduce the risk of schizophrenia by about 86%. Although even in a stable family environment, there are still other environmental factors (for example prenatal stress or toxin exposure, nutritional deficiencies, social stress in peer groups or neighborhoods and schools, substance abuse, etc.) that may contribute to the risk or trigger schizophrenia. &lt;b style=&quot;color: #93c47d;&quot;&gt;A dysfunctional family is most likely a family that lack money&lt;/b&gt;. These other environmental factors are obviously also linked to the current monetary system – but this relation between mental health and the money system is never mentioned in any scientific study.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The focus on the development of new medicines instead of actual proper research in the interest of all is obviously because the medicines generate profit, and within the current system profit has always a higher priority than life. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Are psychiatrists anything else than&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt; drug dealers? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;We scream ourselves hoarse over the &#39;scum&#39; that are selling crack, cocaine and methamphetamine to our children in the streets, while the psychiatrists prescribing equally heavy drugs, only with nicer names, to children not only escape scot-free, but actually are regarded as trusted and revered experts. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;This will continue as long as the psychologists and the people on the payroll of the pharmaceutical industry are dependent on money to survive. As long as research is profit driven science can&#39;t be trusted. An &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.equalmoney.com/&quot;&gt;Equal Money platform&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; will remove the profit motive and produce doctors that actually care. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What becomes obvious when one takes a self-honest look at oneself and what is manifested within/as this world is that &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;we are all insane&lt;/b&gt;. So called &#39;normal&#39; people are consumed by inner demons and back-chat which they never dare to expose. This in fact makes the ones we deem as &#39;insane&#39; more self-honest than the &#39;normal&#39; people. By deeming and labeling certain people as &#39;insane&#39;, &#39;mad&#39; and &#39;sick&#39; we can continue to hide our demons and label ourselves as &#39;sane&#39; and &#39;normal&#39; without ever having to question our insanity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At Desteni we dare to face our insanity as what we have allowed and accepted ourselves to become, and to actually correct ourselves in line with what is Best for All. As Destonians we realize that we don&#39;t have to be enslaved within and limited and crucified by a diagnose, which is nothing but a programmed self-definition used to justify ones unwillingness and fear to change. We realize that &#39;mental illness&#39; is &lt;b style=&quot;color: #93c47d;&quot;&gt;an excuse to not take self-responsibility&lt;/b&gt;. Within Desteni I Process we are given the tools and the opportunity to question and challenge and specifically see/realize how we created our believed mental states and patterns, and to take self-responsibility for everything we experience within ourselves. Within Desteni there are even examples of people with a history of psychoses that have been able to stand up and release themselves from their mind prison with the support of breathing, self-honest self-investigation and self-forgiveness – this is the only way out and NOT medicines. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I myself was struggling with quite severe OCD (Obsessive–compulsive disorder) before I applied the tools of Desteni. People seeking psychiatric help for their OCD are often prescribed either tricyclic antidepressants (such as Anafranil and Norpramin) or selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (such as Prozac and Zoloft) – and in many cases they develop a lifelong dependency on these drugs. I&#39;m quite glad that I never sought psychiatric help, but instead found Desteni and applied the tools presented with which I managed to transcend this and many other mind creations of no physical substance, which I although believed to be an unchangeable part of &#39;who I am&#39;. According to the &#39;expertise&#39; there is no known cure for OCD. Desteni I Process obviously disapproves and invalidates this &#39;expertise&#39; and proves that man is able to stand up and change within self-responsibility. That man is able to break through each and every pattern of the mind and birth himself as the physical. No drugs needed. No &#39;expertise&#39; needed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I present to you the solution: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.desteniiprocess.com/&quot;&gt;www.desteniiprocess.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.desteniiprocess.com/&quot;&gt;

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;The Swedish government and the opposition with the Social Democrats and the Green Party have agreed on extending the Swedish NATO lead military engagement in Libya. With the decision to send a handful of marines and five JAS Gripen, a jet fighter of the Swedish Air Force manufactured by the Swedish aerospace company Saab, one could say that Sweden is participating in &lt;span style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;its first war since 1815&lt;/span&gt;. The interesting thing is that all of the parliamentary parties, from the left to the right, are supporting the Swedish participation in this operation. The wide majority of the Swedish population is also supporting the operation. Since 1815 Sweden has been known for its policy of neutrality in armed conflicts, making it the oldest neutral country in the world. This policy was a result of Sweden&#39;s involvement in the Napoleonic Wars within which Sweden lost large parts of its territories.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Because of its neutrality Sweden is often regarded as a &quot;role model&quot; nation and Swedes are proud of the fact that we haven&#39;t waged war in almost 200 years. This non-aligned stand does however not ban or exclude the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;selling of weapons to belligerent nations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - which is even done to two opposing nations at the same time. Since the invasion of Iraq in spring 2003 Sweden sells more weapons than ever. Sweden sold weapons to the value of 13.5 billion kronor ($1.9 billion) in 2009, up 7 percent on the previous year, according to figures released by the Swedish Agency for Non-Proliferation and Export Controls - making Sweden the second largest weapons exporter per-capita in the world. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Most of the weapons are sold to the United States and Britain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jjVpBve1710/Te_YXN1_11I/AAAAAAAAAFw/_z3nYFttG1E/s1600/cluster-bomb-bofors-sweden-victim.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;367&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jjVpBve1710/Te_YXN1_11I/AAAAAAAAAFw/_z3nYFttG1E/s400/cluster-bomb-bofors-sweden-victim.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;The regime in Bahrain is most likely using Swedish weapons to beat down the recent demonstrations. Furthermore Sweden is selling weapon systems to both India and Pakistan, two parts that has been on and off in armed conflicts since the creation of Pakistan. One may suspect that the selling of weapons to two conflicting parts is &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;to deliberately raise the tension&lt;/b&gt; between the parts and thus open up for more profit. The weapons export law that in text forbids the export of arms to countries in war or have chances of getting into a war or where there are human rights violations&amp;nbsp; seems to be overridden all the time. On top of this Swedish weapon companies are selling weapons such as the so-called flechette ammunition, a type of ammunition that explodes and shoots out thousands of small metal darts in a wide area. This ammunition is banned by several nations supported by the Geneva Convention. Saab Bofors Dynamics is selling flechette ammunition to the U.S. military which uses it daily in operations in Iraq.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Swedish politicians alongside with the media all seem to believe that the military operation to over-throw Khadaffi is &quot;humanitarian&quot; and has the starting point in benevolence and protecting the Libyan people. Are they really that gullible that they do not understand that &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;it is all about OIL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and that the operation was planned in detail long before the riots in North Africa and the Middle East even began. If it would have been about benevolence something would obviously have been done about &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAfOqn8SfNM&quot;&gt;the situation in Bahrain&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is also quite disturbing that the politicians alongside with the media are completely quiet about the fact that NATO is using ammunition with &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmK7B6mOsHU&quot;&gt;depleted uranium&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; in Libya. The same kind of ammunition used in for instance Fallujah, Iraq, that has caused an alarming increase in birth defects and cancer in the last years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sending of the five Swedish jet fighters is nothing but a &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;PR and marketing racket&lt;/b&gt; and the golden opportunity both for the manufacturer Saab and the Swedish government to show off its &quot;jewel&quot; to potential and future investors - a welcome step in the attempt to sell the plane to India and Brazil. Libya has become like an international war exhibition - &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;a commercial hornet&#39;s nest&lt;/b&gt; - where weapon manufacturers from all over the world are trying to push their systems. Exploiting war as an advertising campaign to increase the value of the JAS and contribute to its sale is distasteful to say the very least - but a &quot;natural&quot; part of the capitalistic system where Life is worth less than Money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selling weapons in the name of &quot;protection&quot;, &quot;self defense&quot;, &quot;god&quot;, or the American &quot;pre-emptive war&quot; are all sugar coated ways of doing the same thing: &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;Killing Life&lt;/b&gt;. How can a nation that have commercial interests in and take advantage of war be regarded as &quot;neutral&quot; and be seen as the role model for world peace?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AQGsmjcjYbw/Te_ZO2PTL8I/AAAAAAAAAF4/H8oM-jSYMho/s1600/war-crimes_thumb1.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;275&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AQGsmjcjYbw/Te_ZO2PTL8I/AAAAAAAAAF4/H8oM-jSYMho/s400/war-crimes_thumb1.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Fellow Swedes, it is time to Stand Up for Life for Real and stop hiding behind fancy words as &quot;neutrality&quot; and &quot;non-alignment&quot; and stop believing that we are &quot;good-hearted&quot; and benevolent.

How often do we consider that the water that takes us 1 second to get takes another 12 miles of hard walking to get? Imagine having access to water only once a week. What would that mean  for your health? Who would you be? Would you still defend the current  system where money decides &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;who Lives and who Dies?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last year the UN finally after a 15 year long debate decided that access to clean drinking water is a human right. The millennium goals, signed by the world leaders in 2000, also state that the amount of people lacking access to clean drinking water is to be reduced by half by the year 2015. But is it much more than &lt;span style=&quot;color: #e69138;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;empty words&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;without any effect? Instead of an improvement of the situation we actually see a steadily increasing amount of people lacking access to clean drinking water, and at the current rate 1,9 million children under the age of five dies each year due to illnesses caused by contaminated water and lack of sanitation. In sub-Saharan Africa only 36% of the population have access to proper sanitation, which causes the death of about 2000 children every day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LYJhvAg0vh0/Td6drZ4Rc8I/AAAAAAAAAFQ/dhcS1OYrj7M/s1600/water-privatisation.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;308&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LYJhvAg0vh0/Td6drZ4Rc8I/AAAAAAAAAFQ/dhcS1OYrj7M/s400/water-privatisation.png&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In last week&#39;s Sydsvenskan - one of the major Swedish newspapers - there was an article on the water situation in Peru, where water has become &quot;hard currency&quot; in the hands of Peruvian gangs. Local residents of the major shantytown surrounding the hills of the capital Lima pay well over 3 dollars per cubic metre of water, while the residents of the exclusive neighborhoods pay about 45 cents. The business idea of the mafia is thus: sell water at a high price to the people lacking access to the municipal water grid. This is a worldwide pattern - people living in the slums often pay 5-10 times more per liter of water than wealthy people living in the same city. The poverty stricken people of Lima - around 2 million people - that lack access to running water in their homes due to &lt;span style=&quot;color: #e69138;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;lack of money&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;are dependent on the so called &quot;Los Aguateros&quot; - illegal water vendors that are contracted by a mafia. This mafia owns the tank cars and is bribing the officials of the public water works to get access to the water sources of Lima. It is also not uncommon that the water vendors are selling dirty water from wells they&#39;ve drilled themselves, often causing &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;deadly diarrhea diseases&lt;/b&gt;. Of the almost 29 million people in Peru, approximately 5.3 million people don&#39;t have access to safe water and 9.2 million don&#39;t have access to improved sanitation services. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Dy2_BVoYS7I/Td6d4CfOasI/AAAAAAAAAFU/iynFll9j6M8/s1600/Water+Fat+Cat.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;372&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Dy2_BVoYS7I/Td6d4CfOasI/AAAAAAAAAFU/iynFll9j6M8/s400/Water+Fat+Cat.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;The public/municipal water system is becoming more and more privatized in Peru, as one of the demands by the IMF and the World Bank. This push for privatization has only led to more and more &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;corruption&lt;/b&gt;, higher water prices and obviously places the interests of the private sector over the common good and the public health. Yet again the IMF and the World Bank prove themselves to be &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;crooks &lt;/b&gt;forcing people into a life of poverty and starvation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the Equal Money System there would be no more mafia, no more incentive to take bribes, no more incentive to make profit on water. Furthermore research would be focused on sustainability &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;within the starting point of Equality&lt;/b&gt; and the industry wasting water on producing pointless bullshit would disappear, and as pollution of water is obviously directly related to the current money system dramatic improvements of the water quality on earth would be seen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Clean water for all is currently not as much a question about availability as it is a question about money (or lack thereof) and political will. Within the Equal Life Foundation you will find people dedicated to bringing Dignity back to Earth for All Life as Equal through political means.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let&#39;s make empty words Alive and Real with the &lt;a href=&quot;http://equalmoney.org/&quot; style=&quot;color: #6aa84f;&quot;&gt;Equal Money System&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #6aa84f;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;Join us if you care.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3NdBakdjvWM/Td6W9BCGndI/AAAAAAAAAFI/uo6dlJ-5MDs/s1600/thirsty.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;385&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3NdBakdjvWM/Td6W9BCGndI/AAAAAAAAAFI/uo6dlJ-5MDs/s400/thirsty.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://commonsense4every1.blogspot.com/feeds/9083685528784672087/comments/default' title='Kommentarer till inlägget'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9220559107042102984&amp;postID=9083685528784672087' title='0 kommentarer'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9220559107042102984/posts/default/9083685528784672087'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9220559107042102984/posts/default/9083685528784672087'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://commonsense4every1.blogspot.com/2011/05/water-mafia-exploiting-impoverished.html' title='2011 Water Mafia Exploiting Impoverished People - Only in a Capitalist System'/><author><name>Niklas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17933470181420807366</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y8IPEt1bGzw/TPGFCLi-YvI/AAAAAAAAAAM/hGhgnJ54CNo/S220/avatar2.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LYJhvAg0vh0/Td6drZ4Rc8I/AAAAAAAAAFQ/dhcS1OYrj7M/s72-c/water-privatisation.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9220559107042102984.post-8871552686047966437</id><published>2011-05-13T13:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2012-01-14T19:28:29.138-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="austerity"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="bailout"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="capitalism"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="cutbacks"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="debt"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="desteni"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="equal money system"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="equality"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="equalmoney"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="EU"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="forgiveness"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="greece"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="greek"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="IMF"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="liberalism"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="loan"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="poverty"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="slavery"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="world bank"/><title type='text'>2011 IMF Sharks After Greek Blood</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;It has become clear for everyone that the bailout attempts to &quot;save&quot; the economy of Greece has failed. In mainstream media &quot;experts&quot; (meaning stock exchange-CEOs, heads of the central banks and other biased hot shots) call for austerity and blame the situation on ordinary Greek people calling them &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;&quot;lazy tax evaders&quot;&lt;/b&gt;. Avoiding the fact that it is the financial world who initially created the crisis with its criminal activities that made millions of people destitute. Now they are there again and give cheeky advice to the public that they must tighten their belts and put up with the slaughter of public services. All to save the income of the sharks that have forced up the interest in Greek government bonds to dizzying heights. Now it&#39;s the working population, school children, pensioners, the sick and needy in Greece who have pay the price.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aa5Fyx2meLM/TcwrhBzaaDI/AAAAAAAAAD0/CnHpEqAIUcM/s1600/100426_p09_cartoon.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;224&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aa5Fyx2meLM/TcwrhBzaaDI/AAAAAAAAAD0/CnHpEqAIUcM/s320/100426_p09_cartoon.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is about 1 year ago the EU and the IMF granted Greece a 3 year loan of 110 billion Euros, in exchange for that the Greek government implement the most drastic cutbacks ever conducted in the country. Since April 2010 these cutbacks have caused about 160000 people to lose their jobs and the ability to support themselves. Greece has become yet another subject of the &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;debt collection mob&lt;/b&gt; called IMF, and as such forced to agree on IMF&#39;s extreme austerity programs which means to shock increase most taxes and lower the corporate tax rates. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--ZpRtHA6EyE/Tcwrkias_xI/AAAAAAAAAD4/XS1EJTn7YnU/s1600/loanshark.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--ZpRtHA6EyE/Tcwrkias_xI/AAAAAAAAAD4/XS1EJTn7YnU/s1600/loanshark.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;What is interesting with IMF, an organization that claim that poverty reduction is one of its main goals, never prevent financial crises but rather attack &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;like a shark in bloody water&lt;/b&gt; seizing the opportunity to implement their Keynesian mob doctrine. In many so called third world countries the IMF and the World Bank have basically destroyed the domestic agriculture by pushing them to drop their social policies and import restrictions designed to protect farmers and citizens and open up for market liberalism and free trade - &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;forcing the countries to rely on import&lt;/b&gt;. For instance Honduras, the former &quot;breadbasket&quot; of Central America, now imports 85 percent of the rice it consumes. This has of course left millions of farmers unemployed, and many of them forced to work in so called &quot;economic free zones&quot; producing big brand clothes in sweatshops for &quot;the lucky few&quot; in the developed countries, under horrible conditions and minimal wages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Studies show that the IMF demands of cuts in the public health care on the loans handed out to countries in Eastern Europe have caused an increase in tuberculosis deaths by 16.6%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jkgikJR3eUs/TcwswcISD2I/AAAAAAAAAEI/BQtqoPug_38/s1600/saupload_irish_debt_crisis_kipper__005_1.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jkgikJR3eUs/TcwswcISD2I/AAAAAAAAAEI/BQtqoPug_38/s320/saupload_irish_debt_crisis_kipper__005_1.jpg&quot; width=&quot;273&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;With the bailouts and loans from the IMF and the World Bank, the situation in Greece has gone from bad to abysmal and the future of Greece can&amp;nbsp; be seen in the examples where IMF have previously been involved within creating &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f6b26b;&quot;&gt;nations of slaves&lt;/b&gt;.

In Sweden about 750 people are standing in line for a kidney transplantation and about 30 people die each year from not receiving a kidney in time. The number of people affected by kidney disease and chronic kidney failure each year is increasing dramatically and is believed to be related to an increased occurrence of obesity and diet-related diabetes. Exposure to various chemicals and toxins are also believed to contribute to the increase.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3xvmX1dUOa0/TcNRQXm1WJI/AAAAAAAAADc/lvX9ZD82eno/s1600/organhandel.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;286&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3xvmX1dUOa0/TcNRQXm1WJI/AAAAAAAAADc/lvX9ZD82eno/s400/organhandel.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;A number of experts and social commentators believe that the lack of organs in Sweden would be resolved with easing the harsh Swedish laws banning all forms of organ trade and that it even would become &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #e69138;&quot;&gt;economically profitable&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; after only one year. The transplant cost is on an average 300 000 SEK, while the dialysis care in one year costs 600 000 SEK.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;But what does the media and so called &quot;experts&quot; miss and why do we really see an increase in obesity and diabetes? Again it simply has to do with the current monetary system in which the food industry is making &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #e69138;&quot;&gt;big money&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; on making people &lt;b style=&quot;color: #e69138;&quot;&gt;dependent on sugar&lt;/b&gt; and where people as a result of apathy and resignation, in a system where every day is a struggle for survival and a selling of oneself, use &lt;b style=&quot;color: #e69138;&quot;&gt;comfort eating as a coping mechanism&lt;/b&gt;. What would we see if organ trading in Sweden would become legal? The sellers would be recruited among the poorest, who would risk their health in return for payment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jUvxa9A9aKs/TcNRTWJ6kTI/AAAAAAAAADg/OS1hXF57pTw/s1600/413748_130_190.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jUvxa9A9aKs/TcNRTWJ6kTI/AAAAAAAAADg/OS1hXF57pTw/s400/413748_130_190.jpg&quot; width=&quot;273&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Swedish philosopher named Torbjörn Tennsjö says it is to &quot;&lt;span class=&quot;short_text&quot; id=&quot;result_box&quot; lang=&quot;en&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;hps&quot; title=&quot;Klicka om du vill visa alternativa översättningar&quot;&gt;moralize&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&quot; if one condemns this push for deregulation and that we are doing those individuals who are willing to sell their kidneys due to lack of money a &quot;disservice&quot; and that we deprive them of an &quot;opportunity&quot; to make money. This is completely unacceptable and nothing but &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #e69138;&quot;&gt;exploitation &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;of people in difficult financial situations, and has got nothing to do with morality but to actually be able to place oneself in the shoes of another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The actual solution to the problem of shortage of organs is an &lt;b style=&quot;color: #e69138;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://equalmoney.org/&quot;&gt;Equal Money System&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; in which neither the stress or anxiety caused by the need to constantly chase money would have an influence on Life, and in which all individuals are equals, &lt;b style=&quot;color: #e69138;&quot;&gt;as brothers and sisters&lt;/b&gt;, and thus in the cases of kidney failures due to genetic reasons would be willing to voluntarily and unconditionally give his or hers kidney to his or hers brother or sister without demanding anything in return.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something else to take into consideration is the number of people who, for religious or &quot;ethical&quot; reasons do not allow their organs to be transplanted after their death. Here one can truly speak of &quot;moralism&quot;, and the fact that most agree that it is important to &quot;respect&quot; a person&#39;s religious beliefs and personal choices demonstrates once again people&#39;s unwillingness to do what is Best for All in favor of nonsense that lack substance or basis in reality.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9e7EH0YdCKY/TcNRcMOMaqI/AAAAAAAAADo/Il6IxYO6kkE/s1600/chains-ems3.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;253&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9e7EH0YdCKY/TcNRcMOMaqI/AAAAAAAAADo/Il6IxYO6kkE/s320/chains-ems3.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;We better sort our shit out:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.desteniiprocess.com/&quot;&gt;www.desteniiprocess.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.equalmoney.org/&quot;&gt;www.equalmoney.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://commonsense4every1.blogspot.com/feeds/1787903932772813292/comments/default' title='Kommentarer till inlägget'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9220559107042102984&amp;postID=1787903932772813292' title='0 kommentarer'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9220559107042102984/posts/default/1787903932772813292'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9220559107042102984/posts/default/1787903932772813292'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://commonsense4every1.blogspot.com/2011/05/organ-trade-is-always-abuse.html' title='2011 Organ Trade is Always Abuse'/><author><name>Niklas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17933470181420807366</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y8IPEt1bGzw/TPGFCLi-YvI/AAAAAAAAAAM/hGhgnJ54CNo/S220/avatar2.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3xvmX1dUOa0/TcNRQXm1WJI/AAAAAAAAADc/lvX9ZD82eno/s72-c/organhandel.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9220559107042102984.post-2701804096512738912</id><published>2011-04-18T20:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2012-01-15T09:29:39.917-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="corporations"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="desteni"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="equal money"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="equality"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="fast food"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="fear"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="job market"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="jobs"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="labor"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="labour"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="mcdonalds"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="minimum wage"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="politics"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="profit"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="slavery"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="stess"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="survival"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="wage"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="work"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="youth jobs"/><title type='text'>2011 Youth Jobs as Modern Slavery</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;In recent years in Sweden a new labor market that you could say coexists with the regular labor market has emerged, and this new labor market consists of low-paid temporary youth jobs within the service sector - many times within the fast food branch, but also call center jobs and jobs within supermarkets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;. In many of these work places working conditions far below of what is tolerated within the regular labor market has developed. I have for instance heard of horror examples from people working within the McDonald’s corporation where they are using young people and forcing them to stand by to wait for guests at the restaurant without any pay, and are threatened with the &quot;boot&quot; or put on penalty work, like cleaning the toilets with a toothbrush, if they would question or complain about the unacceptable conditions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w9I3mgLLgfg/Ta0Ewbl5c7I/AAAAAAAAADU/Q7kxjn6oSUo/s1600/ronald-mcdonalds_88858061.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w9I3mgLLgfg/Ta0Ewbl5c7I/AAAAAAAAADU/Q7kxjn6oSUo/s320/ronald-mcdonalds_88858061.jpg&quot; width=&quot;289&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr align=&quot;left&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;There seems to be an almost militaristic chain of command  within these companies, and if you have been loyal to the company long  enough without protesting you may have the opportunity to slightly rise  through the ranks to get a squadron of &quot;subjects&quot; underneath you, and if  this is the case you are asked by the management to regularly threaten  and intimidate your &quot;co&quot;-workers and to only give negative feedback.  This is thus a deliberate system set in place by these companies where  fear of survival is the main motivation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;And basically everyone within this chain of command is  under the same pressure that is &quot;if I&#39;m not following orders I wont have  any money and thus no Life in dignity&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;The demands on effectivity are also quite extreme, and in the supermarket branch the employees are often timed to perform at a certain rate to maximize the profit - to for instance scan at least 40 items a minute if you work as a cashier. And when the young employee is completely burnt out and finished they throw him or her out and hire a new one that &#39;happily&#39; takes over - and this is how the wheel turns.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;This is nothing but an exploitation of marginalized groups that lack professional experience and desperately try to get a foot into the labor market to be able to after some years of slave work have access to the regular labor market with higher security, stability and better conditions. These young people together with the immigrants, which is the other marginalized and exploited group, basically don&#39;t dare to protest against or question the unreasonable demands of the companies, and the companies are well aware of this. McDonald’s have created a system within which they are kicking their temporary employees right before their probation ends so that they wont get a permanent employment which would mean more expenses for the company. The past years there have been deregulations when it comes to the rules regulating these sort of things, and the politicians responsible for these deregulations claim that it is to make it easier for companies to hire young people and thus lowering the youth unemployment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Sweden has had one of the highest youth unemployment rates in Europe for many years, and the usual political &quot;hit-melody&quot; is &quot;find new work areas&quot; and &quot;create new jobs&quot; - which is the same melody regardless of political color. But creating new jobs is obviously not a solution that is based in reality and practicality, since these new jobs created aren&#39;t actually supporting Life or really necessary, other than to create profit. Within an &lt;a href=&quot;http://equalmoney.org/&quot;&gt;Equality&lt;/a&gt; based system where work would be based in what is practically necessary for a Life in Dignity we would all obviously sing a completely different melody.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;The reality is still that companies strive after &quot;as few employees as possible to do as much as possible on as little pay as possible&quot;. The only thing the deregulations on the labor market has done is to create a huge extra profit for the companies and not an actual improvement of living conditions. Quite the contrary recent studies show that one in five in the age group 20-25 suffers from stress symptoms as anxiety and sleep deprivation, which is a three times increase in 15 years. These stress symptoms which are obviously work related in time lead to more severe diseases, such as heart and stomach conditions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;If you are perfectly fine with a system where profit and abuse reigns over Dignity don&#39;t visit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.equalmoney.org/&quot;&gt;www.Equalmoney.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NASpBrvWywM/Ta0FLvH4w1I/AAAAAAAAADY/LLM8dCYxJ88/s1600/207378_176572879060095_175698322480884_473127_211604_n.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;257&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NASpBrvWywM/Ta0FLvH4w1I/AAAAAAAAADY/LLM8dCYxJ88/s400/207378_176572879060095_175698322480884_473127_211604_n.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://commonsense4every1.blogspot.com/feeds/2701804096512738912/comments/default' title='Kommentarer till inlägget'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9220559107042102984&amp;postID=2701804096512738912' title='1 kommentarer'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9220559107042102984/posts/default/2701804096512738912'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9220559107042102984/posts/default/2701804096512738912'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://commonsense4every1.blogspot.com/2011/04/youth-jobs-as-modern-slavery.html' title='2011 Youth Jobs as Modern Slavery'/><author><name>Niklas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17933470181420807366</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y8IPEt1bGzw/TPGFCLi-YvI/AAAAAAAAAAM/hGhgnJ54CNo/S220/avatar2.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w9I3mgLLgfg/Ta0Ewbl5c7I/AAAAAAAAADU/Q7kxjn6oSUo/s72-c/ronald-mcdonalds_88858061.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9220559107042102984.post-9221601528910434591</id><published>2011-04-12T15:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2012-01-14T19:21:33.179-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="capitalism"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="crime"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="desteni"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="equal money"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="equal money system"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="equality"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="illegal"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="immigrants"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="immigration"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="law"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="nationalism"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="police"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="racism"/><title type='text'>2011 The biggest crime of all crimes IS inequality</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BS3wjLZxu_s/TaTOJeFlr4I/AAAAAAAAADI/HLmgvdMYvE4/s1600/eg-illegalbust-dynamic-image-2-978301251.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BS3wjLZxu_s/TaTOJeFlr4I/AAAAAAAAADI/HLmgvdMYvE4/s1600/eg-illegalbust-dynamic-image-2-978301251.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I was watching a documentary that followed British highway police men in their work, and there was this incident where they stopped a man that they were suspicious of, and they didn&#39;t trust that the identity the man gave them was correct. So they took him to the station to further investigate who this man really was, and eventually it was revealed that this man came to England from somewhere in the middle east 10 years ago and was to stay as a visitor with a visa for only 6 months. So, he was basically in England illegally and the police officer in charge called the immigration authorities to let them know that the police had him in custody. The police man laughed the man that was illegally in England right in his face and said to the viewers that he didn&#39;t have any sympathies whatsoever for this criminal, since he had been living well off of the British society and it&#39;s &quot;hard working people&quot; for 10 long years and had &lt;b&gt;&quot;exploited&quot;&lt;/b&gt; their &lt;b&gt;&quot;good will&quot;&lt;/b&gt; by earning money on Illicit work without paying taxes or giving anything back to the society. And the police officer added that he understood why British people were so fed up with immigration and immigrants. Yes, how &lt;b&gt;dare &lt;/b&gt;you &lt;b&gt;survive&lt;/b&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wKhF1FQ5H6k/TaTO2Wo2KBI/AAAAAAAAADM/1a5sBxWUONw/s1600/uk_border_agency.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wKhF1FQ5H6k/TaTO2Wo2KBI/AAAAAAAAADM/1a5sBxWUONw/s1600/uk_border_agency.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;It is obvious that this program is designed to make people believe that the real issue and problem is that which the law defines as a &quot;crime&quot;, to avoid that crime is actually just a symptom of a sick monetary system that in this particular case forces people to move thousands of miles to be able to survive - and it is obvious that the TV program is designed to avoid the root cause of all criminality - which is the current system of lack within which people that are lacking money have to find way﻿s to get access to what they need. The root cause of crime is in actuality inequality, and the biggest crime of all crimes IS inequality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And to manipulate the question of why crime exist, as many politicians in the first world try to do, and suggest that more policemen and more laws would eradicate crime and point fingers at immigrants instead of putting themselves in the shoes of another is unacceptable.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Always ask yourself - &lt;b style=&quot;color: #f1c232;&quot;&gt;&quot;Who would I be without money?&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, an Equal Money System would in fact eradicate what the capitalistic law defines as crime, because Each and All would have access to the basic necessities that we all share and that is our Birth Right as Life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot;
