Green future = Open Source future
I believe that only freedom of ideas and information could lead us to green future. This freedom could be realised only in economy based on Open Source technology. So I invite to join this group everybody who wants to know more about how Open Source could change the world and make it greener. Together we could collect information and share it to others.
As I drove home last Thursday from a Renewable Energy Fair in Nebraska, where I encountered a particularly ignorant, hateful and virulent strain of Ultra-Liberalism, I was listening to news of our most recent financial meltdown, and the ridiculous political 'finger-pointing' and cries for "more stringent re-regulation".
I felt like I have been a voice crying out in the wilderness.
These two groups of nitwits running our World will never learn, yet it seems that we don't either, because we keep believing their lies, voting them back in, and giving them our hard-earned capital to squander!
Yet, the next morning, as I drove to work at Merrill Manufacturing, in Storm Lake, the news announced that overnight the SEC moved to temporarily suspend short selling of financial securities, and co-workers at the factory said, "You've been ranting about that for months!"
I didn't think they were even listening!
Not to beat a dead horse, but if the SEC admits that short selling is so wrong that financial companies must be protected from it for some time, why doesn't every stock deserve the same protection, and why would it ever be allowed to resume?
That is like saying to the whole world, 'We had to stop the parasitic blood-sucking, temporarily, or we would have killed the host, but we will let the parasitism resume, as soon as we get the patient back on his feet!' This is a de facto admission of my contention that speculation serves no good purpose in the marketplace, and will eventually cause another collapse as devastating as it did in the Great Depression, or worse!
Of course, I am not a prophet; anybody willing to look objectively at the fiat money supply, and the Fed's mismanagement of our entire economic system, could see it coming!
Even McCain saw it coming; he and GW tried to prevent it, several times in prior years!
But not the Democrats, not Obama, even with his self-proclaimed superior judgment, just like GW; they were all more interested in providing easy money for speculators and illegal aliens to buy houses!
I want every American Citizen to be able to buy a house, too, just like GW, but not at any price, not at the inflated prices in a market of "irrational exuberance"!
I am not the only man on Earth smart enough to understand real intrinsic values in capital, nor am I the only one with eyes to see how international bankers have been manipulating our money supply to collect a 'hidden tax' on our capital for their own private benefit since the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.
I learned all these things from great thinkers of the last several hundred years from Adam Smith, to Charles Walters, to Ron Paul, and my own Father.
If the People really understood how the Federal Reserve Bank works, daily, to steal the fruits of our labors, the guillotine would come back in vogue as a tool of social change!
Yet, as we all watch, seemingly helpless, the temblors shaking our financial house of cards, we must all remember that when we point our fingers at others, we have three fingers pointing back at ourselves.
The Dems blaming the GOP for deregulation is disingenuous, the darling of the Kooky Left, Carter, signed the first bill, and Clinton signed the second, to repeal the regulations FDR signed when the banks failed after his election, which killed our economic recovery, until WWII. Both of these parties are equally complicit in this collapse!
We all need to change the way we operate to build a stable economic system!
Several people have asked me what we should do, now, to save our own capital.
First, don't panic! Just like in the Crash of '29', with so many little people in the markets, today, only they will get hurt, if we panic. If you didn't move by Friday, Sept 12, you are too late to pull out, now!
You only get hurt on a roller coaster, if you try to get off before it stops!
Secondly, move slowly and deliberately, on the pull-backs, to reinforce your position with future good-value investments of real intrinsic value -
ASAP, buy only enough land to feed your family (if you have more, you should sell it, now, to some family that needs it), a dispersed agrarian economy is the most stable.
Farmers should insist upon payment for their crops in Gold, or any other noble metal!
Then, we should all save up to 10% of our incomes, preferably, in silver coins, for daily trade in an emergency, and gold, or platinum, for long-term savings.
Take physical possession of these, and find, our form, a local bank, or credit union; that will accept them as deposits, and return same to you upon demand.
Above all, absolutely, do not bury your talents, or stuff your mattress, but keep your money working in the local economy!
After that, we should all invest in local manufacturing, preferably in cooperatives, or employee-owned corporations, that add value to locally produced commodities.
For instance, local people should use this great buying opportunity to gain local control of the local bio-fuels and food processing industries to diversify and support our ag sector. Remember, the safest bet is that everyone will need to eat every day!
Next, do not buy useless paper - no non-convertible common stocks in any other than local companies adding value to local commodities, or precious metals mining companies, no preferred stocks in any financials without local control, no bonds, no paper money, no investment funds, or unnecessary insurance, not even a ticket to a ballgame!
If the expenditure you are considering will not produce a physical product useful to sustain life, or do productive work, do not spend your cash on it! We need forward motion, no treading water, and no backstrokes! If you support any activity that does not produce a domestic product with intrinsic value, you are part of the problem!
Finally, make it clear to all Congressmen and Senators that:
We will not accept any further arbitrary regulation of our economy, but want a retroactive 70% punitive tax on all purely speculative cash earnings, and any executive compensation of $1 Million value, or over!
We want and need a Gold-backed Dollar that the world can believe in thru thick and thin!
We will not accept any vote to bail out these bankers, or any industry executives, and let them walk away with their own personal fortunes intact!
If they refuse to vote for the People on any of these issues, we will work tirelessly to make sure they never have an opportunity to cast a vote in Congress again!.
We need to finally let all of these parasitic scoundrels hang in their own noose!

I miss information and support to open source economy on this site. Such information is extremely important so decided to write about it.
The best way to do most effective and cheapest green technology and spread it is to make open source technology.
Open source technology in general is more effective and cheaper because open source design method eliminates need to "reinvent bike" everytime for the designers. Instead of starting from scratch they only develop already made technology further.
Open source involves in design many volunteers, which have many ideas, but simply could not participate in any closed technology development.
Open source encourages creativity involving into design wide variety of people, which could share ideas and get ideas, but maybe could not work on project like a full time job.
Open source design method creates useful things. What it means? Open source economy has no money to advertise things which are useless in general and artificially create market for them, so open source economy creates things which are really needed by people. Do not create useless things means do not waste energy.
Little examples of what open source could do is Wikipedia, Linux, Sun OpenSparc computer processor and many more. This is "little" examples, because I believe that Open Source economy could do much more than this for our greener future.
Help to spread Openness across the world and make world greener!
