We may not be in the situation we are today, with the 1% running everything, if the government didn't have a monopoly on law and violence.

If you've got an attention span for 1 hour, the video below explains some interesting concepts I had never heard before today.

To viewers: Please don't mistake this forum for the movement. Posts like this one do not represent the movement's principles in the slightest, and are merely an attempt by its opposers to derail it.

If you're tired of deliberate provokers such as this one^, please help migrate users over to the more moderated and organized forum at http://www.TheMultitude.org . Thanks.

There's nothing misrepresenting about this. You're saying this idea isn't possible within the 99%?

I've been to Occupy a few days in my city. People are discussing ideas. People all over the forum are discussing ideas. Anyone who wants to go talk serious game can go to your forum, but you don't have to be all self-righteous about it. Why shouldn't this forum be a place to discuss ideas?

Seriously, smarty pants, get off your high horse.

I've been watching your posts and many of them tend towards the kind of deliberate animosity and provocation TheMultitude.org was built to keep out. Apologies if you are sincere, though I'm on the fence still.

A stupid response begets a stupid response.

Feel free to watch the video in the context of my original post and tell me I'm starting trouble. There's a reason why 250,000 have watched Miley Cyrus music videos, and 3,000 have watched a video on economic theory. There's also a consequence. The consequence is the shitty situation we're in now.

I try to respond to stupidity without sinking to it myself. To each their own. Though again I accept the fact that I could be wrong about you. If so I apologize.

It's alright. I understand there's a lot of stupid people on the boards, and no way to tell them apart, really. But if you see some of my other posts around, I've had plenty of intelligent input to add.

Many more people will come to your side when you are proactive (for “new” Business & Government solutions), instead of reactive (against “old” Business & Government solutions), which is why what we most immediately need is a comprehensive “new” strategy that implements all our various socioeconomic demands at the same time, regardless of party, and although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management System of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves; that is, using a Focused Direct Democracy organized according to our current Occupations & Generations. Consequently, I have posted a 1-page Summary of the Strategically Weighted Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:

Join

http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/StrategicInternationalSystems/

because we need 100,000 “support clicks” at AmericansElect.org to support a Presidential Candidate -- such as any given political opportunist you'd like to draft -- in support of the above bank-focused platform.

Most importantly, remember, as cited in the first link, that as Bank Owner-Voters in your 1 of 48 "new" Business Investment Groups (or "new" Congressional Committees) you become the "new" Congress replacing the "old" Congress according to your current Occupation & Generation, called a Focused Direct Democracy.

Therefore, any Candidate (or Leader) therein, regardless of party, is a straw man, a puppet; it's the STRATEGY – the sequence of steps – that the people organize themselves under, in Military Internet Formation of their Individual Purchasing & Group Investment Power, that's important. In this, sequence is key.

Why? Because there are Natural Social Laws – in mathematical sequence – that are just like Natural Physical Laws, such as the Law of Gravity. You must follow those Natural Social Laws or the result will be Injustice, War, etc.

The FIRST step in Natural Social Law is to CONTROL the Banks as Bank Owner-Voters. If you do not, you will inevitably be UNJUSTLY EXPLOITED by the Top 10% Management Group of Business & Government who have a Legitimate Profit Motive, just like you, to do so.

Consequently, you have no choice but to become Candidates (or Leaders) yourselves as Bank Owner-Voters according to your current Occupation & Generation.

So please JOIN the 2nd link so we can make our support clicks at AmericansElect.org when called for, at exactly the right time, by an e-mail from that group, in support of the above the bank-focused platform. If so, then you will see and feel how your goals can be accomplished within the above strategy as a “new” Candidate (or Leader) of your current Occupation & Generation.
