The purpose of money is to have a medium of exchange, that both parties can agree to. Often times what one person has to barter is not what the other person wants to trade for. Maybe I want your chickens but you don't want my goat. And maybe I only want three chickens. How does one make change for a goat?
The medium of exchange can be anything, but traditionally it was things of scarcity, beauty and value. Wampum was money made from shell beads. Cowrie shells wera also used. Beads have always been a medium of exchange. There are some very ancient beads around. Gold is the classic example in Asian and European history, but there were always problems with short supply. The shortage of coin was one of the main reasons for the American Revolution. It gets messed up when there is interest charged by a third party simply on the medium of exchange; in the case of the US government, they have borrowed all of their money from the private Federal Reserve bank since 1913. They give the Fed bank an IOU, and borrow money at interest to run the government, then they ask the rest us to pay the interest. |

Hi folks,
If you haven't done so, let me know that you are interested in finding out how to participate in this new currency projet/system, and make sure to let me know soon. This could possibly be one of the most important projects you will ever participate in. This could be the difference between being a slave or free. I am really expecting to see a practical answer where the economic rubber hits the road. It is not too late even after we start but the sooner the better for everyone. Monday, I will send everyone that has sent me an email, information about what the next step is. My hope is to have a website up next week that will be one of the tools to help everyone participate. Till Later..... HOLD FAST Last edited by Waterman; 01-05-2009 at 01:56 AM. |

Make sure you check this thread later tonight. After I have finished writing about the last minute info I just received, I will be updating this thread about the Currency Project.
So, make sure to return to get the who, what, when where. |

Are you ready to move out of a failing money system? Well let's do it then!
Since starting this thread, this is my first post since finishing preliminaries on the project, so you haven't missed anything, good news huh? There are many reasons for communities to form, and there are communities within communities. For example Project Avalon is a community within the greater internet community. Both have diverse interests, and different needs. That is good! It would be a boring world if we were all the same. But no matter whether you are a fundamentalist or a newager, man or woman, or even rich or poor there is one thing common to us all.....money. I know, I know, wouldn't it be nice.... but right now we use money in all its forms, m1, m2, m3 (although no longer officially published), because that is how we trade between each other. But trade doesn't and shouldn't be a “bad” thing. It just so happens to not be so good right now because those in positions of power planned it that way. So, there is a project underway to remove those who have that power over us. The ultimate goal is total independence from corrupted worldwide monetary polices. As we speak the IMF is being changed to the IMA who is assuming power to move the world into a new world monetary system... and oh yes will you be surprised to hear it will be gold based. Hmmmm? Well, do you want to trust the same people ... again for another monetary system that over these many years has brought on so much human agony?. For those not in the know, go to these links to get caught up. Again if you haven't read the first post in the first thread related to this project go to; You Must Choose Soon! at http://www.projectavalon.net/forum/s...ead.php?t=9426 ...and the second related thread; You Must Choose Soon part 2! http://www.projectavalon.net/forum/s...ead.php?t=9475 Related to this project we are having our first conference call meeting Saturday 12 noon EST. So what will we talk about? Why get a new currency? Why not bartering? Why not scrip? What is the new currency project? The currency project and Project Avalon. Who can participate? Who is doing it? And much more! There is a lot to do and no one person can do it all. I will be asking for volunteers to help with this project. This is a perfect project for ground crews. So join me January 10, '09 at 12 noon EST as I host our first conference call meeting of the “Silver Round Table ”. The call in number is 646 727-1307 or you can participate via internet by going to the following link; http://www.blogtalkradio.com/SilverRoundTable Anyone can go to the website and just listen as a guest, however if you want to participate you will have to register before the call. When you do, you will be able to participate in the chat room as well as speak. You do not have to register as a host. To register to participate and not host be sure to remove the check mark from the “I want to host my own show”. You will still be able to talk and chat in the chatroom. If the meeting gets too big I will be muting callers till they want/need to talk. In fact that is probably how I will start the meeting. Also, using the internet has all the obvious advantage of being free for everyone anywhere to participate. Also, BlogTalkRadio has room for a limited about of commenting, so if anyone out there is good at WordPress I would like to set up a Silver Round Table blog site to post transcripts of the conference calls, as BlogTalkRadio can automatically link to that blog. That is something we can talk about! Maybe someone has a better idea. After our meeting BlogTalkRadio will archive the podcast for others to listen to later. We have a lot to talk about, but again in the meantime I will still need an email address from all you, and if you will, please sign up at mailvault.com and use their services for more privacy. When you do (get a mailvault account), there will be a message that says that they did not update their certificate but I have used them for years and they are not going to update because they are sticking it up "their" nose. Now however, you will want to contact me at this new email for this project.... SRTatmailvaultdotcom Also, make sure you get me your Skype ID either in a pm here or via the new email. As soon as I have your email, I will send out more info. Let me know asap. Till then HOLD FAST Waterman |

It is my understanding that USA had its own monetary system call the green back where the government minted the money and guaranteeing it with bonds, was able to loan it out at interest that interest was then used use for capital investment. Through a slight of hand on 24 Dec Congress signed over to the Central Bank the right to print money and subsequent outlawing of the green back.
Whats wrong with going back to the green back? |

Thank you for this interesting thread Waterman,
![]() I want to ask some questions. What do you think of a system that is built up like the one discussed in the thread “So exactly what is this stuff we call money?” by anthrovolution ? Link to thread: http://www.projectavalon.net/forum/s...ead.php?t=9547 Money is a medium for the exchange of labour. Is this the right way to approach a fair money system? Isn't it important then (or always) to have a fair “injecting point of money”? Just interested about different ways of looking at things. To me it seems to be a fair system. Comments appreciated (from all) |

What is money?
On the surface it sounds like a simple question. Many think it is paper in our pocket called Federal Reserve notes. http://openmoney.ning.com/video/1180168:Video:2151 Are you active in "End The Fed"? "End The Fed" is a nice slogan but it is missing the .....by line. "End The Fed"..... by what? By shooting the Federal Reserve Chairman? That wouldn't work, another would take his place. "End The Fed" ..... by protesting inside fenced in protest zones, then go for coffee after the protest? Oh yeah don't forget your demonstration permit. "End The Fed" .....by telling the legislature to not allow the Fed to "loan" America 750 billion dollars plus? THAT REALLY WORKED LOLOLOLOLOL. "End The Fed" .....by having a great American strike day? hmmm? That's come and gone but we still have the Fed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3nfjFId_qI "End The Fed"..... BY DOING WHAT?!..... by first knowing what they do, then second... "End The Fed"..... BY NOT USING THEIR SYSTEM! Who are these guys, and what are their plans? Andrew Jackson said they are a bunch of organized crooks. Who are the men behind our money system? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2twluaMUfY Is it time to join the militia and help them round up traitors in congress along with Paul Volcker, Alan Greenspan, and Ben Bernanke, just to start? In the meantime if you don't want to join the militia and help round up the traitors you can join the money revolution, by first knowing who they are. In recent years knowledge of our fiat money system has become fairly well known and understood, but has it? Do we really know what the Federal Reserve is? These and many other questions are better understood when one knows the history of current money system. You might want to go through this series about the the Federal Reserve and their current fiat money system. Fiat Empire One http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_Jnt61b4nk Fiat Empire Two http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbzg6DVmnxM Fiat Empire Three http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUJZszGJYuw Fiat Empire Four http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDwojE4PgD8 Fiat Empire Five http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d521m43Tojc Fiat Empire Six http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITmE4lcb5-g Pay particular attention to the free market solution! And second "End The Fed".... by dumping the dollar and joining the money revolution! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPKUYuQANoA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO4S4vVM7zI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwGUTGCvz7I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=airxvVmGnqc The introduction of another money system by the free market does not have to happen within a state, it can start within a community of people willing to participate in it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvo61TvYFbs Then again, you can wait till this spring when you will be offered the new international monetary system by the same wonderful people that run the Federal Reserve. Let's hang 'em this Saturday at high noon EST. Lynching details below; Silver Round Table - conference call Saturday 3pm EST (yes this is a schedule change) The call in number is 646 727-1307 or you can participate via internet by going to the following link; http://www.blogtalkradio.com/SilverRoundTable Last edited by Waterman; 01-10-2009 at 06:59 PM. |

Waterman the change took place after 10am this morning. I went to the site to check it out prior to the scheduled time and noticed it was still 12:00. I'll be there. This should really be a closed door meeting. You know that they will be monitoring. Last edited by PartOfOne; 01-10-2009 at 07:13 PM. |

Today (01-10-09) we had our first "Silver Round Table" meeting. I wonder if someone could do some numerology and tell us more about the date....
The show was to start 11am my time and I had trouble getting on so get this I couldn't get on till guess what time ..... yep 11:11. But only to find out that I had two hours to wait. The technical stuff is not important but what we did was. I happen to have access to a transcriptionist and they are going to transcribe the meeting. Hopefully if there is enough interest we can start a special section in Avalon to promote this community open currency project. So look for a complete transcript of the 90 minutes soon. In the meatime I will be gathering up my notes and post a summary of the event. Here on this thread. In the meantime please feel free to go to the archive and listen, here is the link. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/silverroundtable We got a chance to have Razor as he likes to be called join us in our talk about an open currency project. It was a start. I hope you will take the time to listen to the archive. In the meantime I will put together a brief "who, what, where" of the conversation I had with Razor after the call. There are some very exciting things on the horizon, and this could be one of the many was so dearly deserve. Until later.... HOLD FAST Last edited by Waterman; 01-11-2009 at 05:36 AM. |
