The Venus Project
presents a bold, new direction for humanity, entailing nothing less than the total redesign of our culture. Unemployment, violent crime, replacement of humans by technology, over-population and a decline in stability of the Earth's ecosystems; These are the problems of today, and as you will see, The Venus Project is dedicated to confronting all of these problems. Through the use of innovative approaches to social awareness, educational incentives, and the consistent application of the best that science and technology can offer directly to the social system, The Venus Project offers a comprehensive plan for social reclamation in which human beings, technology, and nature will be able to coexist in a long-term, sustainable state of dynamic equilibrium.

As one, we can make this project happen. We have the power to decide if this is the future that humanity actually deserves, and in doing so may act with foresight to re-align our current crash-course. There has never been a time in history, a better time than now, for we the united to choose a better way. How long will it take before all understand that Life, capital L, can be better? It doesn't have to be this way.

Ask yourself: Is THIS why am i here? To turn a dollar from the sweat of my brow, so as to afford to keep the sun from my back, the rain from my head? Here I am, here to watch the daytime television, to buy the designer clothes, to consume industry-approved placation after placation? No. There is more, and more still.

The way we are living right now is a mad rush, a stampede; This pollution of mind and body is stagnation, not evolution. Money cannot warm a heart or enrich the mind. All recognize the heedless waste of planned obsolescence and monetary greed. And yet, it need not be so. With even the slightest action, you will be so amazed at just how little is needed to enact a change. You are all very special, every human on this planet is so special, so aren't we all deserving of something better, to live without fear or undue strife? As much as the water we drink, as much as the air we breathe, as much as the sun which shines down, now more than ever, we need each other to survive. Lest the soil go bare, the water impure and the air go foul, we cannot risk anything less. Nothing will change unless we want something better for ourselves. The day your child comes to you, asking "Why can't we live in a real home, why can't we have food to eat?" It will be sooner than you think if we cannot act together.

Listen, and hear. Our future is in our hands, hearts and minds. Let's make it happen. Let's come together and save our world, save each other, and save our future from ourselves.

Updated:I also found this Foundation (Resource based economy foundation) RBEF for short.
What is RBEF?

Very generally speaking, RBEF is a set of tools for the transition from the Monetary System to Resource Based Economy. RBEF provides research on the transition economy model, develops global projects, and a libre resources management platform.

We believe that the current economic setup creates more problems than provides solutions.

Economy, in order to function, relies on artificially upholding scarcity which is maintained by various mechanisms like "planned obsolescence", "priority of profit", or "distortion of values".

Those fundamental causes are:

  • The misunderstanding about human behavior that allows manipulation of the people in various aspects.
  • The erroneous design of the monetary economy that, a priori, must lead to stratification and a widening gap between economic classes, and unemployment.

  • Our efforts are directed at removing the causes that lead to societal degradation rather than wasting them on remedying effects.

    It IS possible for us, as humans, to live in peace and harmony. And if there is one single thing that you can achieve in life it is this: put humanity on the correct course for the future. Don't let this chance fall to somebody else, don't deny our children, our race or our planet the future it truly deserves. Only when we can live in peace shall we be able to look back and say, 'that was wrong; we put it right', because until that day we never will be able to.

    The expense of not changing the way we are doing things is ultimately greater than not. What good does it do for me to care only about me when I have children whom will live on after I've gone?

    It is clear the current system does not work and has been failing for decades, how many people in our global population actually live any form of decent life. The rich get richer while the rest just suffer a miserable existence. The people are not the only life forms that suffer from humanities greed, the animals, the plants, even the insects, environments and the most important of all, the planet earth! We have the power/resources to make the change, so isn;t it time we being to make the change?

    The current economical structure based on profit as its primary lifeblood will only bring more greed by design. If America and All Other Countries truly care about the morals that society claims to have a desire to procreate it will stop our current agenda which in fact, based on intelligent thinking, IS the agenda of the banks which hold close to 98% of all wealth on the planet. It is the BANKS, in fact, that need to "bail out" Humanity by recognizing that the system that they preside over is the single most powerful cause of human SUFFERING ever established. The only way to procreate true morality, understanding, intelligence, and equality is to rid our planet of the supposed place holders of resources that have only served a minute percentage of the populace and given that minute group the ability to control the ways most of us gain new information. This control over media has served only to indoctrinate the masses into thinking that this minute group has the best interests of the populace at heart when, by design, the system they use cannot sustain itself by helping anything other than itself. Thus all forms of monetary based government cannot coexist with humanity; it only serves to literally destroy it. We must make strides like this petition, and through scientific discussion, to find a smooth method to transition to a resource based economy and to spread awareness of the single worst blight humanity has ever, and will ever, face; monetary economics.

    The common people are oblivious to their insanity. Logic and truth, even plainly presented, still hold no water for the zombie-like people who are made comfortable by the static of their television sets. We are here, slaves, among other slaves who know nothing better than to fight us fellow slaves into silence. 1984 was only a missinterpretation in that it involved a lot of government intervention to maintain control over the people. Here, our bretherin born and raised next to us provide that social control. How do we administer a vaccine to people who are willing to die for love of their precious disease. I have long believed what the venus project presents, even before I had a computer. God is within us all and all around us. Energy can never be destroyed isn't that fascinating. War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength.
