I was watching an Alex Jones video one day, not that I'm into chem-trails and stuff, but David Icke and Alex Jones, Michael Tsarion, Jordon Maxwell -- all those guys that have been labeled 'conspiracy theorists', make for some great sci-fi. I personally don't read sci-fi. I'd rather take facts and create sci-fi myself - hope to write some illustrated novels some day.
But the facts they mention, however far-fetched they may seem, really interest me.
So in this episode of the Alex Jones show, he had an interesting person who seemed to make sense. Pete Joseph. He made some really valid points and introduced concepts I'd never thought of before -- things like a Resource Based Economy, and how a Monetary-Based, Debt-Based Economy is the root of almost all the problems in the world, and how we need to take a scientific approach to managing our planet's resources.
Then something really interesting happened. Alex freaked out. I don't know if he was intimidated by Pete's 'big words', or if his concepts were threatening to take away Alex's audience, or what. But the way he attached Peter was the very thing that made me look up the Zeitgeist Addendum and see just what all this was about.
I was floored.
The Venus Project was the most practical and simple solution to the world's problems that I had ever heard. And it was so simple, I was almost embarrassed that I hadn't thought of it - that no one had thought of it - before.
My heart fluttered. I read the Orientation Guide and delved into the concepts of a resource based economy and spent the next several months applying it to every aspect of my life. All the wisdom I'd been studying on the internet, from Ron Paul to Democracy Now to Noam Chomsky, no one had offered such a simple, yet powerful solution.
I fully support the Venus Project and the Zeitgeist Movement, and in my own subtle way, I try to pass along at least the concept of its possibilities, whether my peers accept it as possible or not.
