The local online news site is a grant-driven propaganda arm and the ignorant local business owners jump on the local green bandwagon. This is being repeated throughout the entire US. <br /><br />Here is the end goal (i.e., worldwide soviet-style communes governed by local unelected councils that report daily activities to a larger governing body), from<br />http://www.worldshiftnetwork.org/action/subsistence.html<br /><br />"We support the shift of our economic focus from transnational corporate “fusionism” to regional subsistence. Subsistence economy focuses on a “natural” way of living. This is not “back to stone age”. It rather means a spiral, wavelike progress out of the life-destroying habits of today’s so-called civilization and accepting and welcoming the complexity of life.<br /><br /> We support the development of sustainable, decentralized—that is local—high-tech production, combined with local use of local resources. and the redesign of our monetary system according to a fourfold model: 1) economy of gifting (a basic matriarchal feature), 2) counter-trade (barter) economy, 3) complementary local monetary systems for regional trade, and 4) unified currency (for example called “terra”) for interregional and global trade. In our eyes compound interest has to be abolished. Also the concept of “owning” land must be reconsidered.<br /> Regional subsistence is committed to fair trade. It appreciates community, supports redevelopment of social structures and teaches the necessity and the pleasure to share resources—thus making regions ready to downscale consumption, shift values from material to social wealth and to deal with migration in a peaceful way."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938933649493088489.post-12589836627643291482012-10-28T12:05:04.103-07:002012-10-28T12:05:04.103-07:00yeah, the little non-profit "Acorn Organic&qu...yeah, the little non-profit "Acorn Organic" in the Atlantic Region of Canada has a plan to 'create a new generation of farmers' partnership with "Landshare Canada" cos we apparently have a shortage of available farmland [b.s.] - based on a UK model - equals commie farming for the brainwashed youth .. they wish to 'transition' farmers... and they won't stop..
