http://www.bbrace.net/islands/gip-coins.html GIP COIN EDITION Currently contains 7 coins -- the lowest common denomination currency from each of the GIP islands. Island 7.0 is now available online! ==================================== http://bbrace.net/islands/island7/island7.html http://bradbrace.net/islands/island7/island7.html Global Islands Project -- ongoing series of multi-media pdf-ebooks/field-recordings -- a pastoral, pictorial and phonic elicitation of island parameters. An intensive examination of small islands and their paradigmatic solutions to globalism. Your feudal-world is based on mutual relief at your common corruption. Maybe some cultures are based on even worse. But that wouldn't change the bad faith of it and as years go by, you wake at night in terror of your whole life being an act of bad faith, where everything is self-interest and nothing more, where every human interaction is driven by a silent, even subconscious calculation of some ulterior motive, to the point that a sea of bad faith has taken over your whole life, there's no small island left from which you can even try to build a bridge of good faith, because even that effort becomes suspect, even good faith is nothing but self-interested, even altruism is nothing but solipsistic, even your professed agonizing right here right now is nothing but a gesture, made to the conscience in order to assure it that it exists. http://bradbrace.net/id.html http://bbrace.net/id.html Island 1.0 is Ambergris Caye, Belize Island 2.0 is Koh Si Chang, Thailand Island 3.0 is Lamu, Kenya Island 4.0 is Narikel Jingira, Bangladesh Island 5.0 is Isla Mais, Nicaragua Island 6.0 are The Grenadines, West Indies Island 7.0 is Hateruma (Yaeyama), Japan Global Islands Project: Island 1.0 -> http://bbrace.net/islands/island1/island1.html or http://bradbrace.net/islands/island1/island1.html -- over 800 images and hour-long audiotrack -- 69mb -- (acrobat 6) Island 2.0 -> http://bbrace.net/islands/island2/island2.html or http://bradbrace.net/islands/island2/island2.html -- over 535 images and hour-long audiotrack -- 78mb -- (acrobat 6) *** http://www.archive.org/details/global_islands_project_island_1.0 http://www.archive.org/details/global_islands_project_island_2.0 http://www.archive.org/details/global_islands_project_island_3.0 http://www.archive.org/details/global_islands_project_island_4.0 http://www.archive.org/details/global_islands_project_island_5.0 http://www.archive.org/details/global_islands_project_island_6.0 *** Global Islands Project -- ongoing series of multi-media pdf-books -- a pastoral, pictorial and phonic elicitation of island parameters...

That would be co-optation, revolution only in the sense of a circulation of elites rather than the extirpation of the very impulses of elitism.

Tadit. I'm surprised at your response. First, the CommunityForge people have built a workable, free/libre/opensource tool set that makes it easy for groups to start a gifting network and LETs exchange using the popular Drupal CMS. I don't think it's made them rich. Second, the author's idea is general and is basically saying that protesters should start printing currencies and using them as a tool to create discussion around our monetary system. Sounds good to me.
I've read your posts on this list and recognize that you have a very thoughtful opinion about these issues so I wonder if you could dig a little deeper and explain your response to the group.

This is to my eye a piece of massive opportunistic self promotion by the "Community Forge" people who operate out Geneva, Sw. They press for the variety of community currencies which they run their business by hosting one single variety of community currency, and it is as debt based as the federal debt based currencies that they are promoting as "protest currencies." If all that is available to advocate for such non-alternatives is that there a tenuous validation by an asserted association of "Protest" with the rising of resistance, this is a fraud at its core.
