Fwd: #OWS currency design competition
by Michel Bauwens 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

Dear Chris, thanks for posting this on the regular blog as well, see http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/profiles/blogs/launch-of-a-ows-currency-desig… ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Matthew Slater <matslats(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Oct 14, 2011 at 2:35 AM Subject: #OWS currency design competition To: Michel Bauwens <michelsub2004(a)gmail.com> Many of Wall Street's occupiers understand that austerity comes from a shortage of money, not resources, and that the right to issue money is granted by the government to a banking cartel. Most US citizens have no understanding of what money is and how it is make artificially scarce to compel them to compete against one another in converting natural resources into "economic growth." Money need not be a destructive force which, through interest, centralises wealth and power. The occupiers of Wall street intend to issue their own 'complementary' currency to raise awareness of the role of monetary design in the currency monetary crisis. In order to ensure the new certificates will are as attractive and relevant as possible, we are launching a design competition, for the next seven days. http://p2pfoundation.net/OWS_currency_competition We are thankful to the p2p foundation for hosting. The competition will be followed by a series of 'money' workshops at Liberty Plaza on Monday 24th October, and the currency launched soon after. -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens

How to defend OSW against 7am eviction?
by Gordon Cook 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

this leaves me with a very sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.... what to do? Occupy Wall Street protesters refuse to leave for park cleaning http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/breaking/chi-nyc-wants-protesters-to… CNN 12:27 p.m. CDT, October 13, 2011 A spokesman for the Occupy Wall Street group encamped in a Lower Manhattan park said demonstrators do not plan to move, after New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced they must vacate the area for a cleaning Friday morning. Tyler Combelic said the mayor's anouncement was a "not-so-veiled attempt" to force the protesters from the park, setting up a possible confrontation with authorities. "We have decided that at 7 o'clock tomorrow, we will not leave the park," he said, adding that "we are not opposed to cleaning it ourselves." ============================================================= The COOK Report on Internet Protocol, (PSTN) 609 882-2572 Back Issues: http://www.cookreport.com/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=37&… Cook's Collaborative Edge Blog http://gordoncook.net/wp/ Subscription info: http://www.cookreport.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=54&I… =============================================================

"Orange County is one thing, but in LA you have to be a little bit stealthy with your political ideology. It's all about peace- and-lovism (with emphasis on -ism) up there. For maximum impact you have to ingratiate yourselves to the PTB in order to have your agenda put before the "General Assembly". It is a social experiment, where they are ostensibly practicing "Direct Democracy" as in Athens Greece. In the end, voices which are underrepresented are oppressed by "mob rule.""
