Financial Autonomy
Financial Autonomy is the hardest to achieve. The US fought for its independence from the UK because it provided paper money to buy all types of material and produce from the US territories. History is rich in examples of money systems created with the sole intention of making sure the issuer would never run out of it, or had the force to destroy those that wanted change.These days there is the now more openly discussed silver supression scheme which also applies to gold, and the Petro Dollar, which was introduced by Nixon in the US. The Petro Dollar is the result of capture by the US of Saudi's oil reserves, and subsequent guaranteed sale of that oil in return for dollars. This has been the basis of the US financial system since the 70's and the greed of the Trinity has turned its lack of any restriction into a wave of population growth around the world.
It is the fact that this oil/financial structure is still forging ahead while it will soon crash that inspires these pages. There is an alternative, nut not withing the context of the present system.
Financial decoupling
How do you financially decouple and at the same time ward off the financial predators in the Trinity. They can create the illusion of any sum of money to break your resistence, so the basis of financial decoupling is that you consider their money worthless. It is unnecessary to alert anybody to this opinion, only to take gradual steps that make sure you do two things- Usury is prohibited, using either external money or internal money
- Do not sell goods your community needs at any price
- Do not buy anything you can make in your own community
- Assets in the territory must be owned by individuals in the territory (can be commercially shared or communal)
- Create a local payment system based on intrinsic value, or if that is to hard, based out of partial owneship of assets (so shares of food, fruit trees, land).
A system we are developing can solve all the needs of a financial system. It is called Bartershares.com. It allows members of an 'economy' to create certificates of owneship of whatever they produce, and trade those certificates effectively using it as money.
