Very well aware of cap and trade-it's yet another device by which banksters, pols, and crony capitalists can work in conjunction to steal while pretending to protect the environment...Another very good reason why it Shouldn't be included in the protesters platform.There are many groups that can come together against Wall Street thieves. You want to hold them together, not fracture a building alliance. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, October 01, 2011 5:46 PM To: P2P Foundation mailing list Subject: Re: [P2P-F] #Occupy resource request Dear Natalie, while I understand your selectivity, one of the promoted non-solutions is based upon establishing a derivative trading of greenhouse gas emissions credits, by which the banksters want to add to their profits and commissions. It is called "Cap and Trade. It seems less immediate, though it is cut from the same cloth as the theology of the not so free market. Second, I'd wager that the elimination of the fractional reserve requirements and the generation of massive profits through the debt based and privatized issuance of currency, is a major means in driving the majority of the population to extract wealth from the commons. The fishing industry and mining being two important examples at this level. If we operated on a asset and sovereign issuance standard, it is certain that we would have to labor far less to satisfy the bankster greed though the elimination of the fractional leveraging and compound interest. The banking franchise also allows the banksters to decide who gets loans and on what terms, and thereby both providing incentives for self dealing and determining the basic structure of otherwise sovereign economies. This shows up also in the deregulation of environmental controls thus also in despoiling the commons in yet another way. A narrow focus is better as a point of entry. At Re-Imagining Economics in the flyers and paper section I have posted about 40 different one sheet flyers on a variety of economics and monetary topics, which you or anyone else are free to down load. We use them when we do public education work locally, and I have shipped boxes of these flyers to different related conferences. in cooperation, Tadit On Sat, 01 Oct 2011 20:05:38 -0400, Natalie Golovin <[email protected]> wrote:
LEAVE OUT GLOBAL WARMING. This has nothing to do with bankster issues and will alienate many that bolster the movement.

I'm in an informal group who are looking to develop a public list of demands for the #occupy groups. We're thinking it should take the form of a wiki and are looking for a site to host it. Is this something p2p can do and how would I go about getting vouched?
