Eliminate Chemtrails

The goal of Counter-Economics is to counter the notion that we get our liberty from the people we abdicate our right to self-rule to.

We "give" and "take" liberty by-way of Voting and Lobbying (in this Economic-Fascist Society)

We NEVER "give" or "take" liberty in a Free-Society.

In a "free-society" the ONLY law is to never interfere with Consumer-Sovereignty -- a ZERO Abdication-Society.

Ludwig von Mises said this in regard to Consumer-Sovereignty

"The capitalists, the enterprisers, and the farmers are instrumental in the conduct of economic affairs. They are at the helm and steer the ship. But they are not free to shape its course. They are not supreme, they are steersmen only, bound to obey unconditionally the captain's orders. The captain is the consumer. (Bureaucracy, "Profit Management," p. 226 )"

Now, by free-will we can give away all our wealth, we just can't force others to do so; other than by consumer-avenues and free-speech.

Counter-Economics (IS) Consumer Sovereignty

What does CS look like?

Only consumers can be taxed and all taxes must be voluntarily (only to last one-year) -- Consumer-Minarchism -OR- consumers are never taxed (save voluntarily) -- Consumer-Individualism.

I've stated before to get out of this present Corporatist Gov't we will need a transition -- to whatever degree it must be toward greater Cosumer-Sovereignty (Consumer Authority).

In the case of a transitionary Consumer-Minarchism (C-Min):

All taxes happen at sales -- a small gov't can "easily" tax a business (less wily then rich or poor civilians who either have to little or can spend their way through loop-holes).

In this C-Min A person could avoid that by shoping in barter communities -- however, the "ease" of most transactions would happen in a similar fashion as now. All taxes must be "direct" -- ZERO Inflationary Taxes

How do we "maintain" Consumer-Sovereignty and a ZERO Abdication Society?

1) Hire (under the table) and Work (under the table) -- BECAUSE only Consumers can be taxed -- never workers or producers

2) Buy Local (when possible) -- ZERO Monopolies in the "long-run" (according to Mises)...."in the long-run"

3) Buy Organic -- ZERO Abdication of Health when there's ZERO Welfarism -- Preventive Medicine is the Rule not the exception

How do we "get into" a Consumer Sovereignty by Counter-Economics?

1) Hire (under the table) and Work (under the table) -- Destroys Tax Base

2) Never by from Corporations who Lobby -- That must be a clear message -- Or buy from the ones who Lobby the least with a caveat that the following year they never Lobby again.

3) Buy ONLY Local Services / Products where Possible -- Until the Corporations Stop Lobbying

4) Buy ONLY organic foods from Local farmers (if that's possible). If not demand, in mobs, that local city leaders create space for farmers markets and have the organics trucked in -- direct

Wow! The same method to maintain a Free-Society is the same method to get into it

How do you "sell" the idea?

1) Develop a very sticky Social-Networking site with LOTS of Social Rewards for Spreading the message -- Think Facebook and "Maffia Wars" or "Vampire Wars"
2) This site must also have a strong Video-Share capability with a STRONG focus (the sole focus) on Education - Entrepreneurialism - and Counter-Economic Networking
3) The site must have a highly accessible database -- Mining Corporate Lobbying and Politician Voting Records

People must be entertained (powerfully so) and enriched (financially) if you want them to spread the message of Counter-Economics feverously.

We'd have a free-society inside 3 years.

Counter Economics

Didn't somebody already try this?

I think they called it, "Woodstock."

Not that I don't agree

with the ideas of this post..

But how does it relate to chemtrails? or is the title merely for a advertising stance to get eyeballs.

Find out if you have a local militia - http://www.uaff.us/

Real Patriots for 9/11 truth -- http://patriotsquestion911.com/

Oruval: You are correct - however, let me give a caveat to that

Yes I wanted eyeballs - obviously

However, without this "answer" no single-stance issues can be resolved.

Counter-Economics where the goal is greater Consumer-Sovereignty

First goal: Consumer-Minarchism
Lasting goal: Consumer-Individualism

There's no social dilemma that this model cannot solve.

Octobox

bump

for discussion. I think this can be key to our freedom if this was done on a mass scale.

Prepare & Share the Message of Freedom through Positive-Peaceful-Activism.

Quiltingsando: That's my whole point -- yes!!

We are trying right now to gain freedom by Abdication of Authority to various Politicians.

We are wasting 1000's (10's of 1000's) of hours (as a group) on building others up and bringing others down.

The latter is the EXACT opposite of what one does with their time in a free-society -- A society that needs "liberty maintenance" cannot afford time abdicated to collectivist conventions; such as: voting and lobbying.

In a free-society one "networks" for entrepreneurialism, intrapreneurialism, mentoring, and skill development.

The wealthy (in a free-society) seek out the above folks to help grow their wealth.

If we want to be "free" we must live as though we already are -- It's the quickest path.

Since we need to build on a massive scale to fulfill the Path of Perpetual Folly (meaning it's never worked) why not take the "massive" and slide it into Counter-Economics.

We're here anyway.

Brilliant paragraph Octobox, thank you.

"In a free-society one "networks" for entrepreneurialism, intrapreneurialism, mentoring, and skill development.

If we want to be "free" we must live as though we already are -- It's the quickest path."

And never forget, “Humans, despite our artistic pretensions, our sophistication and many accomplishments, owe the fact of our existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.”

RawFood -- You are welcome

I forgot that I wrote that and when I read your paragraph-quote I thought "Wow, RawFood, really get's it - great paragraph!" hahahahaha.

I believe in Self-Health -- Self-Help -- and Self-High (High-Fives).

Damn I though I was going to see a video of a belt fed 50 cal clearing the pipe ;-)

Good

Good start. Just a few points..

I agree, the lynchpin of Counter Economics is the "buy local" mindset. Keep the money in the hands of the People, not the corporations or the gov.
When making arguments about feasibility, refrain from time tables (see: Iraq)
Who else has read this Constitution?
If no one, or just a few, why represent it as "IRON-CLAD"
I have a million questions about the Constitution

To the poster below..
.
Consumer is a term used to define the ultimate PURCHASER of produced goods or provided services. The term is not used to lessen the Sovereignty of any Individual.

P.s. To the OP, always a good read, thanks for the divergent views!

"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them." - Mark Twain

I've never been comfortable

I've never been comfortable thinking of others as "consumers". I'm not a unit of consumption, I'm a human being. Are you a unit of consumption?

Hello my fellow human beings.

CSB: You understanding of what a consumer is might be a bit

simplified.

Consumption -- "to use" and/or "to waste (diminish)"

We consume: knowledge, love, air, poetry, beauty, song, resources, products, services, water, nutrients, tools, wealth, and assets (to name a few).

We are 24/7 Consumers.

The Consumer (by my definition) is the only "true" individual.

To Produce -- one must first consume
To Work -- one must consume training, tools, and resources

The worker, the producer, and the propertied man are subservient to the interests of the consumer -- because in these "lesser" functions they are consumers and when not in them they are consumers still.

Thus, when the consumer is protected all are protected.

This was Mises understanding of Consumer Sovereignty and he was 100% right.

Octobox

What

What about vertical monopolies?

What about them?

"to produce- one must

"to produce- one must first consume"

James_C: Normally I'm really quick to pick up on meaning

but I'm not sure here -- let me filter it.

If you are asking, "if a producer must first consume to produce then what about a vertical monopolist; since it "runs" all aspects of it's production?"

Is that what you are saying?

Or were you being funny -- Actually that's a funny question, hahahahaha. Not laughing at you.

The Infinite Loop Error huh? hahahaha.

The Vertical Monopolist "consumes" resources and tools and knowledge and assets and wealth and lobbying-dollars and space and time -- ad infinitum.

All "individuals" do

Octobox

I suppose

I should have elaborated the question alittle.

If you consider all buyers of goods consumers and consumers the only real sovereigns then your thesis is essentially; "those who spend money have power". This may not be intentional but the only forms of commerce taxable are those made with monies.

I believe the error is made in omitting labor, talent and knowledge and substituting your energies for the product thereof. Consumer Sovereignty is a tool of the Sovereign, not the box. Great idea but you're expression of it is too exclusive, broaden the appeal and watch it spread.

I can't find it right now, but do a search for a thread i posted called "the constitution is not for you". I think you'd like it, one of the last posts i saw from Oruval was on it.

James_C

We consume: tools, knowledge, air, nutrients, water, resources - et al

Consumption is what we all do all day long.

A Producer or a Laborer are only those things part of the day -- however, they consume in those roles and all other roles (private life) -- all day long.

If Gov't backs Producer -- Labor Suffers - Consumer pay
If Gov't backs Laborer -- Producer Suffers - Consumer pay
If Gov't backs Health -- Independent Suffer - Consumer pay
If Gov't backs Welfarist -- Workers Suffer - Consumer pay

If you protect any group (or "back them") then you punish that group and all others as consumers

It's perpetual war -- lobbying - voting - abdicating and the consumer pays for it all.

Did that clear it up?
