It's not a happy new year



A happy new year, is a new year full of happiness. But this is not the reality on Earth. It may be a happy celebration for your and your family, and all others who are lucky enough to celebrate it comfortably.
But I can't fake it. I don't find the new year happy, even if that makes me a party pooper. I also don't celebrate it in particular. Yes I go eat with my family, but I don't stay up waiting for 12 o'clock. I was tired so I went to be at 9.30 PM.
Also my dad ordered all kinds of seafood to make food for him and my mom, brother and his girlfriend. A part of it were 2 live lobsters, squashed on each other in a plastic bag, 1 had a leg ripped out. It really put me in a down mood and to be honest, it made me really angry.

I get angry because of the way we celebrate, by the abuse and death of other living creatures. Some call it "delicacies", I call it murder. Place yourself as the lobster, or the duck. How would you feel? Because animals can feel, make friends, live together, even fight and suffer. They have their own way of existing and expressing themselves, just as we have ours.

New year is not happy at all for these animals.

Here, have some delicious luxurious foie gras


Or a fancy lobster


Or a lamb chop



Also for many people the new year can't even be celebrated. The many that live in hidden poverty, and the many who live in obvious poverty. The child soldiers, the children forced into prostitution, the families running from war, the sweatshop workers, the starving and the ones totally deprived of any opportunity to get a better life.



You may call be a pessimist, and I wish I was but I am not. I am a realist, because this is all happening and it is not getting any happier. And if you would be celebrating 2 meters away from people in the conditions mentioned above, you would feel the same way. But now we don't because we live in our bubbles, apart, separated, not seeing and being pre-occupied with ourselves.

The world should be a fun place for all, something where we can truly celebrate and be happy about what we have achieved as a collective. That is why I support a living income, that is why a drastic change is necessary.
New Years Eve ends with 30,637 people who died of hunger today. 2012, the year to be One Vote in support of living income: www.livingincome.me

No difference between a rapist and a men's magazine



They came to some pretty upsetting results after a study where people had to tell the difference between quotes from British "lag mags" and interviews with convicted rapists. Men were more likely to agree with the rapists.
The one who conducted this study were researchers from the university of Surrey, and later on it was published in the British Journal of Psychology.

The study went as follows:
-Men AND Women were given quotes from the British lad Mag FHM, Loaded, Nuts and Zoo, as well as excerpts from interviews with actual convicted rapist from the book 'The Rapist Files".
-The participants couldn't identify which statements came from the rapists and which from tha magazines.
-They also rated the magazine quotes as slighty MORE derogatory than the statements made by rapists.
-The quotes were shown also to separate groups of men. The men were more likely to identify with the rapists statements than the lad mag ones.

The slightly bright spot in the study:-When researchers randomly labelled the quotes as coming from either rapists or magazines, the men were more likely to identify with the ones allegdly drawn from mags. Because they consciously did not WANT to agree with rapists.

So the "who you are", the "self", plays an important part in this. Either you decide who you are, or it is decided for you by upbringing, friends, peer pressure, emotional urges etc...

"We were surprised that participants identified more with the rapists' quotes, and we are concerned that the legitimisation strategies that rapists deploy when they talk about women are more familiar to these young men than we had anticipated."  co-author Dr. Peter Hegarty adds

"There is a fundamental concern that the content of such magazines normalises the treatment of women as sexual objects. We are not killjoys or prudes who think that there should be no sexual information and media for young people. But are teenage boys and young men best prepared for fulfilling love and sex when they normalise views about women that are disturbingly close to those mirrored in the language of sexual offenders?"^



What did the rapists and ladmags quotes consist of?For example:
-talk about coercing women
-talk about having sex with them even thought they were initially unwilling.
-->women say no when they really mean yes.

This "woman say no when they really mean yes" as if they are asking for it, is a big stereotype which I have heard before. It is shocking that even lad mags take these things on, but not suprising because lad mags are written by humans, and humans are the ones who create the stereotypes.

They say that now maybe the news that they sound just like rapists will make people and magazines rethink their words.
Isn't this what we should do at all times? Know what we speak and why. Else your like an automatic record running off speaking whatever someone has spoken to you before as a form of repeatance. We have and are all guilty of that sometimes. But it is time to become aware of it and stop it, it's easier than you think if you put your brain in action and realize the effect of this so called "harmless" habbit worldwide.

Lets do the test ourselves! See if you can find the difference between the rapists and the lad mag quotes, dont cheat! ;):

1. There's a certain way you can tell that a girl wants to have sex . . . The way they dress, they flaunt themselves.

2. Some girls walk around in short-shorts . . . showing their body off . . . It just starts a man thinking that if he gets something like that, what can he do with it?

3. A girl may like anal sex because it makes her feel incredibly naughty and she likes feeling like a dirty slut. If this is the case, you can try all sorts of humiliating acts to help live out her filthy fantasy.

4. Mascara running down the cheeks means they've just been crying, and it was probably your fault . . . but you can cheer up the miserable beauty with a bit of the old in and out.

5. What burns me up sometimes about girls is dick-teasers. They lead a man on and then shut him off right there.

6. Filthy talk can be such a turn on for a girl . . . no one wants to be shagged by a mouse . . . A few compliments won't do any harm either . . . ‘I bet you want it from behind you dirty whore' . . .

7. You know girls in general are all right. But some of them are bitches . . . The bitches are the type that . . . need to have it stuffed to them hard and heavy.

8. Escorts . . . they know exactly how to turn a man on. I've given up on girlfriends. They don't know how to satisfy me, but escorts do.

9. You'll find most girls will be reluctant about going to bed with somebody or crawling in the back seat of a car . . . But you can usually seduce them, and they'll do it willingly.

10. There's nothing quite like a woman standing in the dock accused of murder in a sex game gone wrong . . . The possibility of murder does bring a certain frisson to the bedroom.

11. Girls ask for it by wearing these mini-skirts and hotpants . . . they're just displaying their body . . . Whether they realise it or not they're saying, ‘Hey, I've got a beautiful body, and it's yours if you want it.'

12. You do not want to be caught red-handed . . . go and smash her on a park bench. That used to be my trick.

13. Some women are domineering, but I think it's more or less the man who should put his foot down. The man is supposed to be the man. If he acts the man, the woman won't be domineering.

14. I think if a law is passed, there should be a dress code . . . When girls dress in those short skirts and things like that, they're just asking for it.

15. Girls love being tied up . . . it gives them the chance to be the helpless victim.

16. I think girls are like plasticine, if you warm them up you can do anything you want with them.

We really need a change in this world. Because such magazine writing should not even be allowed. What we read, hear and see does have an effect on our brain, as well as the younger boys or girls who may get such magazines in their hands. It is not responsible to allow such kind of things for the sake of.. what? Free will/free speech? Sorry but it is getting way out of hand. Then free speech could be anything in the end, where we end up in a moralless non-caring world, totally rationalized into oblivion.
And I am pro using your brain! But together with that must come self-honesty, self-responsebility and insight. it must be alligned with equality. Because when the common good of all as equals is the rule, then in no way can a structure or a media form be created that harms the whole but benefits a minority.

BESsBESsBESsBESsBut as long as money (as it currently works) is the deciding factor... this will not change.

Our luxury is their suffering

Why is it that the most valuable and luxurious products on Earth are created through the pain and suffering of thousands of people and animals?

For example look at foie gras, a food product made of the liver of a goose that has been fatened through force feeding it, wticking  metal feeding tube down its throat.
Its a very popular delicacy in some countries including France and Belgium. 
This practice started at 2500BC, and as the savages we are, we blindly continue our abuse throughout the ages.

The ducks or goose are kept in small cages where they cannot move. They are force fed to have a sick overfat liver that the human then eats.
I really dont have to explain how and if they experience suffering undergoing this. The pictures and videos speak for themselves.

These are the real images, the reality.
And what humans create around it is this decadency, this "oh we are so great and luxurious".


We laugh, while they suffer in pain.

Same with for example diamonds.Too often, the world’s diamond mines produce not only diamonds – but also civil wars, violence, human rights abuses, worker exploitation, environmental degradation , and unspeakable human suffering.
Conflict diamonds are still being mined anda llowed to enter the diamond supply, where they become indistinguishable from other gems. Violence, human rights abuse, and other injustices remain an everyday aspect of the diamond industry.
Killings, beatings, rape, torture, child labor, forced labor, and other human rights abuses all too frequently take place in connection with diamond mining. Often, these abuses happen in the midst of civil wars. But human rights violations are also a regular part of diamond mining in countries that are not officially at war. At Brilliant Earth, we consider every diamond linked to violence and human rights abuses to be a conflict diamond. More info: http://www.brilliantearth.com/confict-diamond-trade/

But again, what do we see?
The sparkles, the "fancyness", the "class", the desire to look superior etc...


Its like we are living in our little private fantasy land, where we desire to be better and take whatever we can to achieve this - with the result in massive abuse and suffering for other living beings and this planet.

Shut your eyes and just consume. Feel better when your having your meals with caviar and foee gras because apparantly your doing something "great", something luxurious , delicate or upper class. And dont forget to wear your diamonds because people will look at them and think all these good things about you. All the things that can make you feel superior and awesome. Because we live for others opinions after all...

Quite sad. It's time to wake up and realize what IS reality.

"The waking have one world. in common, whereas each sleeper turns away to a private world of his own."

The whole consumerist industry even fuels this. Making commercials, propaganda on TV and clips about other people "doing" or "owning" such things, showing how apparently great and fun it is. Something that YOU have to strive for, so that when your doing it or owning it, you can be just as amazing.
Give me a break...
Really think about it, who exactly placed those thoughts in your mind? Who exactly made you think this? Who made you accept it blindly? Why do such feelings come up within you when your for example being given a foie gras meal?

Maybe for a change we should speak out such thoughts aloud to realize how ridiculous those thoughts really are.
If it was our dog or cat being force fed, or if it was our grandma or brother slaving away for our diamonds, we would be furious wouldn't we.

And the change starts with all of us. First of all by opening your own eyes, by facing who you are and what this world is made off. Only then can you start to take responsebility. If you deny it or ignore it, there is no way you can face it. And then we can work together to create a change for this world. As we present with the Equal money solution.

If capitalism creates poverty, and poverty creates war, and war creates genocide and mass rape - then who is to blame: We or "them" ?



Almost everyone knows by now that the majority on this planet lives in poverty. Millions are starving and struggling to survive every day. No money to pay for healthcare, dentist, school... no opportunities to make your life better and earn more money...

Our world has the means and the wealth to end poverty once and for all. We have the capacity to have much more beings populating planet earth. But NOT in our current system.

A central tenant of this system is that to have a decent life you need to have a living-wage job. In New Orleans, or almost any other of the largest 50 cities in the country, poverty, low-wage jobs, and unemployment are the norm for tens of millions of Americans.
According to the 2000 census, the poverty level in the devastated Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans is 36.4%. A quarter of households have an annual income of less than $10,000. Half live on less than $20,000. Half of those living in the ward are categorized as 'not in the labor force' because they have given up looking for a job.
African Americans, and now also Latinos and other recent immigrants, are systematically shut out of opportunities for decent living-wage jobs and segregated into the poorest neighborhoods. In the case of New Orleans, that meant neighborhoods like the Lower Ninth Ward, which is the lowest-lying, swamp-infested region of New Orleans.
http://www.socialistalternative.org/literature/katrina/logic.html

People are often unsure about the cause of poverty, and tend to blame it solely on the government of the specific country they are talking about.
According to WDM, the cause is:

"Policies of governments and companies are keeping people poor. Policies that ensure global trade benefits the rich, not the poor—the three richest men in the world are wealthier than the 48 poorest countries combined. Policies that give increasing power to multinational companies—for every £1 of aid going into poor countries, multinationals take 66p of profits out. The powerful are exploiting the poor to make bigger and bigger profits."

Governments function within a certain economic system - we can call ours capitalism. It is based on wealth being produced for sale on a market with a view to profit and on the competitive pressures of the market dictating that these profits are accumulated in the form of more and more capital invested to make further profits.

So the reason WHY a lot is being produced, is not to satisfy people's needs, it is to accumulate profit. And make people think they need a lot of crap, to be better, prettier, cooler etc... Preferably stuff that brakes down fast so that it has to be replaced soon = more profit.
It is thus part of the policy of capitalism, as well as an economic necessity imposed by the operation of impersonal en uncontrollable economic laws which governments have to aside by, unless they want to go down in flames a.k.a. economic crisis.
Because if you dont "go with the flow" of the system, it will reject you and you will suffer as well. So its exploit or be exploited.

Profits are placed before poor people because the governments are obliged to, by the working of the system, the market forces. It has been set in motion for quite some time, and generations blindly follow it. But it is time to realise that another system is necessary and possible.
Same with capitalist corporations. Their purpose is to make profit on the capital invested in their businesses so that their shareholders can benefit.
So the WDM (world development movement) is not entirely correct. Private companies cannot pursue any other policy than to maximise their profits. Because that is what they suggest. But it cannot happen in our current system. Because IF they do, they will go down. They will not fit into the system anymore, and there will be others to replace them. So to believe that some companies can and will change their ways and suddenly the world will change, may be too unrealistic.

Today, we see a world economic slowdown, with U.S. corporations shutting down production here in search of areas that produce higher rates of profit. The economic engine of jobs, which helped some workers in previous generations to get out of the ghettos, will not be reoccurring. The vast majority of jobs created under Clinton and Bush have been low-wage jobs, which have replaced higher-wage jobs. Under the rule of capitalism, the majority of the public faces further sharp attacks on their living standards and quality of life, with a growing number being forced into dire poverty, homelessness, and destitution.
Capitalism is a system designed to produce for private profit, not for public need. It is only by taking decision-making out of the corporate boardrooms and placing them under the democratic control of the majority that the economy can provide for our needs. To do that, we need to bring into public ownership the largest 500 corporations and financial institutions.
http://www.socialistalternative.org/literature/katrina/logic.html

So, our system directly creates poverty, and poverty creates more child birth. What poverty also creates is friction, hostility, people not knowing what to do else than to fight. It caused non-education and separation. It creates rebel groups that will fight and plunder, because they have been raised in conditions that will lead a person to become a rebel. You may stigmatize them, but in their place you would probably be the exact same. It is important we teach our children about why people become like that, and why they do what they do.
The war in the other countries are always about money, because money is everything. If you dont have it, you can't eat, you cant be treated by a docter etc... Armies are created, because what else can they do? They see no way out.
And you know what a great recruitement method is? Gang rape.
The way military organisations arrange recruiment, decides if the gang rape of woman will be part of their armed conflicts. A research from political scientist Dara Kay Cohen revealed this.

From her interviews with ex-combatants in Sierra Leone, as well as similar interviews conducted in El Salvador and East Timor, Cohen argues that gang rape often serves as a means of socialization for members of armed groups who perpetrate it, what she calls “combatant socialization.” The insurgencies and armies that have abducted or press-ganged their members into service are more likely to perpetrate widespread rape than those whose “members are recruited through more voluntary methods.” She explained in an interview that gang rape “has…[a] benefit to the group unit under certain conditions. If the people in the group don’t know each other, [and] have no basis on which to trust other, there is a lot of evidence to suggest that…rape, in particular…has an even stronger bonding function than [other forms of] violence.” Gang rape, she explains in a recent paper, “enables armed groups with forcibly recruited fighters to create bonds of loyalty and esteem from these initial circumstances of fear and mistrust.”

So in the end, we are all part of this. No one is excluded from the way the world works. We all live in this system, we work for it, it gives us what we need and it does not give others what they need.
Capitalism --> creates^poverty --> creates war --> creates gang rape

There is a solution, and the solution is a new system= www.livingincome.me
Where Life becomes the prime value. Investigate it and work it out for yourself.
The majority wants change, the majority wants justice and the end of all abuse.
But the minority does not.
Yet, the majority is the majority. Unfortunately a lot of the minority are given a voice while the majority is silenced. The minority has to computers and the networks, the minority doesn't.

We can change this, don't let the minorities opinion convince you otherwise.

The future: getting your teeth drilled or pulled without sedation


This may be your worst nightmare, but it  soon may be the reality of orphans, the elderly, sick adults and people with psychic problems in Bulgaria.
The Bulgarian association of dentists has proposed to only offer dentistry treatment without sedation to poor people.


The Bulgarian newspaper 24 Chasa called it inhumane - which it is. They call these measures scary, shameless and cynical. The dentists forget that also the weaker have the right for a humane treatment. This is modern inquisition.


http://www.hln.be/hln/nl/921/Kanaal-Nieuws/article/detail/1349269/2011/11/17/Bulgarije-schrapt-verdoving-armste-tandartspatienten.dhtml

Yet these are things that happen to people already in the very poor parts of our world. We all know people are treated like objects, placed as projectiles in wars, as slave laborers, allowed to starve to their death. This is nothing new, why are we so numb to it? Can't we fucking shake ourselves awake!

Our monetary system creates situations of friction and seperation, it gets money through creating and allowing and requiring competition. Competition feeds jealousy and anger and injustice. And we are led to believe that "thats just the only way we can be". This is a pure lie, and many of us are the proof. Because you know yourself, you know your more than a selfish person, you know that your more than someone who wants their ego boosted in spite of another. Many of us want another system, where all are treated better and with dignity.
We have to end this system before it drags more people down with it. Before measures such as these may become the norm for more and more. Because the poor do get poorer, and the rich are still as rich as always.

There is a middle ground, where all can live a great life with abundance, but not the abundance that currently is here and destroys the planet and what is on it, that disregards other life forms. The superrich have to tone it down, so the poor can be lifted from their survival mode.

We have the solution with the www.livingincome.me

What about children born due to rape? Who will raise them in an Equal money system?

First it has to be looked at whether the parent of the child can take care and wants to take care of that child. If the parent cannot or does not want to give the proper care , then the child has to be placed with parents who do. In an Equal money system, we focus on responsibility – not only towards ourselves but also for our global society.  Another’s child is equal in worth as your own child, all children deserve a starting point where they are cared for and given the same possibilities as other children. No child should grow up in a situation of being unwanted and discarded – we all know the consequences of that on the behavior and personality the child will develop in its further life.

There will be less “unwanted” children in an equal money system, because people are brought up to care, and with respect for life. The shallow consumerism system that programs people to be egoistic will not be there. In our current world system, many rape happens in situations of war and poverty. It rarely happens in a society where there are more wealthy people. Thus, when war and poverty is eliminated, the rape will decrease dramatically.
Imagine all people being raised as you were (if you have had a good upbringing), and see the global impact this would have.

Of course we realize this will take time, it will not all be fixed in one moment. Our global system and all structures are vast, and thus it will be changed step by step.
So there will be facilities, as we have now, to take in “unwanted” children. Of course with the starting point of equality. Children will be first be taken care of there,unless they already have parents that want to take care of them (for example another relative).

Then, the children can be placed with parents, who will give them a home. These parents will also be checked regularly to make sure they give the proper care.All parents will require to go through parental training anyway. This will help our entire society, so that no child gets programmed in the wrong way, and shaped because of that. There is a lot of harm done through bad parenting currently and this has to be addressed.

How will the under-educated people who’s been living in poverty and starvation transition to live in an equal money system? How will they be assisted?

Those who already have the necessary skills to provide for the basics of living, shall utilize them to provide for the common good, while the under-educated are given the opportunity to develop these skills as well.

They will be lifted from starvation and deprivation, and be placed in a world system where suddenly they have food every day, drinkable water, warm clothing and time to express and develop themselves. The Equal money system opens up education for all, worldwide. Thus they will be trained the necessary skills they require or want to do.

Not everyone will be required to do the same, people like to do different things. What will be necessary is a system that first maps out what is required for all to live a fully functional life, what are the basics for all. Those things have to be filled in first of all, to make sure the system is stable.Then the “spare” can be filled in, by what people choose to do. No one will be privileged to be “more” than another. The basic requirements will be provided for, by a conscription period of a limited amount of time, where each citizen of the world plays his/her role for that time being. After that time they can do what they choose to do as long as it does not harm the common good. When I say “time”, I am not talking about working forced until you are 65 like many in our current system.I am talking about 4-5 years of your life.
The requirements will already be drastically reduced because there will be no more profit system, which require the creation of useless crap items that require massive production and consumption and energy.

The poor will be supported on all levels where it is able. It will be a gradual process by first allowing them to at least LIVE. Currently , they cannot. They have to be helped physically first, because many of them require urgent medical attention and proper nutrition. Only when that is taken care off, they can develop more skills, and be trained by those who  have the required skills. As soon as that inplace, people can teach skills to each other while practicing together.

So there is:
Educational services / schooling
Training by experience / by other citizens
Training through books and media sources
training at the job site through practice

11.11.11 - Imminent extinction



Today is a day where about 25 % of mammals on planet Earth face imminent extinction due to habitat loss, as humans want to own more and more land to fulfill their dreams of wealth and build the palaces of capitalism.

We fear about extinction, but at the same time cause other species to become extinct, or deliberately murder them for our profit.

What if the roles would be turned? What if an alien species would do this to your family? You are inferior intellect, so why can't they use the same arguments as you place upon the animals in this world?

As we rape our planet, we rape ourselves. We create our own destruction.

Capitalism is good for a small percentage of people, it is not good for the whole. It is a system that abuses and destroys, that plunders and rapes without concern. It takes more than it gives, and it leaves people empty inside.

You become a package, a consumer, meant to spend your money and be selfish and shallow. The debt is taken from within you and your just a hollow shell.

Only extinction of capitalism will ensure the survival of our species, and others.

You may think poachers are often not part of capitalism, but everything on this planet functions under capitalism. There is a global economy, and an exploitation of poor countries by the rich ones. It is never a problem of 1 country, it is always a problem created by the whole.

We consume more than we need, and more than we can even produce. It only works for a minority, it will never work for all. Because not all people can live the excess luxury that some are living in this world. Driving 3 cars, having big mansions, with maids and gardeners, buying new clothing every month, consuming massive amounts of products, buying all kinds of gadgets that break down fast. It creates massive waste and requires massive energy and workers.

Without those on the bottom, it cannot function. And if everyone would live like that, it would not be possible. It would destroy our planet even faster.

So we have to start to consider a way of living that will work for all. A simpler way that will make everyone happier. Because yes wealth is rising, but so are depressions and unhappiness.

We can live a good life, with more fun, in a non-capitalistic system.

"Climate change is a product of the capitalist system, which favours the pursuit of the maximum possible profit. That is the purpose of the capitalist system, with no consideration for the lives of others. In Copenhagen we should analyse which countries are doing the most damage to the environment and, with that in mind, focus on the need for those countries with the greatest responsibility to pay for this debt to the global climate. That is an obligation ...

The Copenhagen summit is much more global in nature, it is a debate about life, about humanity. Here we have profound differences with capitalist governments. I remain convinced that capitalism is the worst enemy of humanity."

http://links.org.au/node/1457

Do you agree with re-establishing harmony with nature while recognising the rights of Mother Earth?
Do you agree with changing this model of over-consumption and waste that the capitalist system represents?
Do you realize another way of living is possible?

Why isn't equal money a violent revolution?

Equal money isn’t a violent revolution because violence will not bring about a functional world system where all people are able to  live a comfortable life and are given an Equal starting point to develop themselves.  There have been violent revolutions in the past, which made the elite fearful to lose their status and money. As a result of that, slowly but surely they started to integrate a part of the population to lower the anger and frustration. Was this done because they felt bad for them? No, they did it because of their self-interest, to make sure they remain the ones on top. You can see this in Belgium history for example. So some people conditions got better, but inequality, corruption and manipulation remained. Where one people got better, others got worse. That is why today you see so many inequalities on this planet.



The middle class has been created, and has been manipulated to remain ignorant and comfortable. Education and culture focuses on keeping the status quo intact, focusing on ones self, own career, consuming, having a  family or entertaining life etc… But at what cost do we live like this? Sweatshop workers, people who work up to 15 hours a day, slave a way for the products we buy. Animals are tortured to test make up and beauty products that we use. Commercials are bombarded on tv, which our children watch and are brainwashed buy. Judgments, comparison, competition… It all adds up to a world of inequality and friction.
Lately people have been starting to wake up to this fact. People see something is quite fucked up about this system, about the fact that 1% of world population has 50% of all wealth in their hands.

As you can see, we are working on ways to show to people how we can live differently, how we can also see who we are, why we are the way we are, and stop ourselves from being limited by our own cultures or believes. We do not plan on storming the white house or whatever. We are working on a system, that can replace this one. This requires effort and learning, finding new ways which will work, research etc… It is a work in progress which anyone who is willing to can participate in. Blogs and vlogs are a powerful medium to spread awareness to the classes that can afford internet access and a pc. These classes, are the ones who have been given a more “privileged” live, and are in the position to stand up and change this system. Money decides everything these days, and now it is up to us to put it in good use.  We are in a position where our voice can be heard. We can be the voice of the millions that are deprived and abused by this current system.
And slowly but surely, when our group grows, we come closer to another way of living together.

The equal money system is for EVERYONE and is lead by EVERYONE together through direct-democracy. The living income System is all-inclusive, which means that no matter your race, belief, age, social status – no matter what – you’ll take part in and receive equal support, as the resources you require to live an effective and dignified life, from birth to death.

Why you and everyone else that lives upon this earth deserves a dignified life is simple – you are here! You are a part of this existence! Thus - it’s your birth-right to be assisted and supported to live a life, wherein you are taken care of and supported as an equal and integral part of and as existence.

Violence may stir some shit, it may create some fear in the leaders and force a few different decisions. Will it bring about a workable world system for equality for all? No, that will only happen if we create the alternative.

The Equal Money System will be democratically implemented when we are ready. Time has shown us that revolution is not the ultimate solution. It did not take in consideration to worldwide system, how to reach all people, end brainwashing, bring about a replacement system that will work for the common good. Equal money does not require a revolution, because it is what is best for all. When more and more people will investigate this, they will understand and stand for the Equal money system. The only ones that will object is the minority, those who fear loosing their wealth and ego. They will not like a system of Equality because they desire Inequality. They desire to be the masters, they desire to be better than another and to be able to exploit others for their profit. So do not listen to their lies, make up your own mind while truly investigating the solution to this global system.  Revolutions have not had a political solution in place. Yes, political solutions came about afterwards, but rarely because of the revolutionairs themselves. It were always the same leaders already in place that handed out the so called "solutions", which always ended up being solutions for a "part" of the population and never the whole.

Poverty and abuse is NOT decreasing

I've heard a few people justify their I-think-this-system-is-great-because-it-decreases-poverty-and-abuse attitude, by saying that things are getting better, people get more chances, and that in the end everyone will have it better. It's called "delusional positive thinking".

First of all we have to realise that this system functions on debt and profit. When money is nr 1, everything else is nr 2 and below, and so is the common good.

Learning about the way this system works, is best when you do this yourself. Investigating human behavior and the human mind, how our economy functions globally, how certain mindsets are created, how a group is kept dumber than another group, how some chances are limited etc....

Even when thousands get lifted out of poverty, this does not justify our current system that will NEVER place the common good on nr 1. So this system and people prospering from it could argue for another thousands of years how "some people are lifted out of poverty"", while there will always be those on the bottom. It's like the thought alone of "some" getting a better life, gives people a peace of mind. But MANY are getting a worse life. Even if it were just 100 that get deprived, those people are still baring the consequences which is NOT necessary. It is created by our allowance. But it can be reversed and stopped, slowly but surely.
You know that you can forever and ever until eternity have a system that deprives many, but raises up others, that makes people feel "secure" as if things will get better for all. It can thus keep on going forever and ever, cycle after cycle: some get better, some gets worse. But hey! who cares right! some get better so therefor it is good.
It's not. It is corrupt to it's debt. Just check out the info on this blog or many many other people's videos and blogs and books who speak out and explain how this system operates.

Here are a few articles which speak about an increase in poverty in America:
http://www.theusdvista.com/news/poverty-rate-in-u-s-hits-record-high-1.2604394
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39211644/ns/us_news-life/t/record-number-americans-living-poverty/

And here is a video:

"Initially capitalism had a growth and many emerged from poverty, as goods that used to have no value suddenly had value and if you were lucky enough to have land with resource like oil or gold or some other item that was uplifted to value, it would suddenly make you wealthy—the industrial revolution added to this in terms of manufactured goods

But then the kind goodness of men screwed with the formula and instead of expanding value to include all –goods were made cheaper and the corporation became the monster of profit –when profit was the way to support humans in life—capitalism worked—then it became profit for greed and extreme wealth –and it failed—in the current days –some countries that were behind on the growth part of capitalism like China ==are still improving the lives of some –but in countries where most resources are now owned –more and more people are thrown back into poverty – Unfortunately there is still the part were a few get extreme rich –like the luck in a casino – and that is used to claim that capitalism works--  in EMS the breadline would be one where each person will live in dignity –something capitalism cannot produced and it will be governed by law and principle –something capitalism abuse to protect the few against the many"

Let's do a ctrl-alt-delete on this and work together on another system that will take care of the common good as best as we can! Check out www.livingincome.me

your "inner voice"


The following quote is a serious mind fuck, and this post will explain to you why it is.

"Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.There is no reason not to follow your heart..:)"

The first thing we have to realise, is that often the "inner voice" we have inside our head, is our programming. It are your parents, your teachers, your past friends, the media and commercials ... It is your past repeating inside your mind. We often think those thoughts are who we are, but actually those thoughts are programmed within us during our life time, dependant on where and with who and how we grew up. Take for example beauty, what you think is beautiful (inside your head) will depend on which culture you grew up in, what you heard people say, what you heard in the media. The voice in your head might tell you your not good enough, your not slender enough, or maybe it will tell you your a hot bitch, supersexy wanted by all.
Or take religion. Chances are high that when you grew up in a very christian environment, you will have the religious dogma's and reasons and believes planted inside your brain. You might even begin to think its God talking to you. You will hear the words your parents have spoken to you, or the preacher has spoken in his weekly sermons.

The quote sais that you shouldn't let others opinions drown out your own "inner voice", but actually : others opinions ARE your inner voice.
Quite a fuck up.
And often times we won't even notice, because we have a bad memory and forget a lot about what happend in our past, what influenced us, what people said etc...

"Your time is limited" sais the quote. Our time is limited indeed, so we should stop following blindly our inner voice, and be self directive.

How to escape being the slave of your inner voice?
Self-honesty. By looking at yourself and who you are, and why. Not just blindly repeat things and following what others have done before you. By seeing if your choices and words are best for all, and not just pure self-intrest.  Getting to know yourself fully, and being able to forgive yourself for your past, and to change yourself if something does not honor you or is abusive in one way or another.
So don't just repeat words, or actions such as gossiping or laughing at another person, judging them, hating, being racist etc... Investigating this world and yourself will open up just how much enslaved we really are.

Anonymous - Will not create a better world



Anonymous is not an organization with a leader. Anonymous is  a group initiating active civil disobedience and spread through the Internet while staying hidden.
In its early form, the concept has been adopted by a decentralized online community acting anonymously in a coordinated manner, usually toward a loosely self-agreed goal, and primarily focused on entertainment. Beginning with 2008, the Anonymous collective has become increasingly associated with collaborative, international hacktivism, undertaking protests and other actions, often with the goal of promoting internet freedom and freedom of speech. Actions credited to "Anonymous" are undertaken by unidentified individuals who apply the Anonymous label to themselves as attribution

We [Anonymous] just happen to be a group of people on the internet who need — just kind of an outlet to do as we wish, that we wouldn't be able to do in regular society. ...That's more or less the point of it. Do as you wish. ... There's a common phrase: 'we are doing it for the lulz.'
—Trent Peacock. Search Engine: The face of Anonymous, February 7, 2008


You can read everything about their hacks and what they did in the link I will post below this post.


Anonymous consists of individuals worldwide. People from all kinds of classes and cultures. People who can be violent, abusive or peaceful and "loving". There are all kinds of people involved, because almost anyone can call themselves part of the group "anonymous".

Do they actually take self-responsibility? No. Do they provide an alternative to this fucked up system? No. Do they address the dishonesty within this world, themselves and others? No.
It are people, like you and I, with their own dishonest patterns. On various websites which support anonymous (like 4chan), or which some anonymous members are part of, you can find porn and even graphical sexual images of teenagers. Because it are, just people who are part of this "group".  


Anonymous does not solve anything, it often adds up to the abuse already existent on this planet. I have received an email from one of them with an imaged that was spammed a hundred times of a man ripping open his asshole. If it was to shock, sorry but you failed.
It is really easy to be an internet warrior. To be a tough guy, hiding behind fake names and anonymous avatars. It is really easy to act all tough online. If I would want, I could portray myself like a real fucking badass chick (or even dude). Anyone can.
All of this hacking, will only cause the governments to install more control. Is this what they want? Because clearly this shows we can’t be trusted. Human kind is nowhere near ready for an anarchistic state where individuals rule themselves - or full free speech. There are far to many abusers, far to much people who blindly follow their mind programming. We got to a system of control in the first place, how do you think we got here? If we dont change the basis structure of the problem, it will simply happen all over again. Because you are not changing anything. You are not even being self-honest and changing yourself.
Your just shouting, hacking, rebelling... and that's it.

They also claim to put facebook down november 5th. While facebook is actually a great tool to reach people worldwide to stand together to change things. What do you expect to happen when you hack these kind of websites? Do you expect a better world to emerge from it?
Facebook can have my info, I got nothing to hide and there is not much they can do with it (as far as I know).


They have this saying, which goes like this:
Knowledge is free.
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us.


To me this sounds really fucked up. We do not forgive? wtf? I imagine a dude sitting infront of a pc saying that... sorry but thats just funny. You need a hardcore dart vader voice to pull it off irl.

"We are Legion?" Do you know where that quote came from "we are legion"? It comes from
Mark 5:6-9:

When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. He shouted at the top of his voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Swear to God that you won't torture me!" For Jesus had said to him, "Come out of this man, you evil spirit!"

Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?"

"My name is Legion," he replied, "for we are many."


So, a demon? I am not religious but this is certainly not a quoting I would use to represent my "group".  Also it is in contrast to a message one of the anonymous people wrote to Sony:

Let Anonymous teach you a few important lessons that your mother forgot:
1. Don't do it to someone else if you don't want it to be done to you.
2. Information is free.
3. We own this. Forever.
As for the "judges" and complicit legal entities who have enabled these cowards: You are no better than SONY itself in our eyes and remain guilty of undermining the well-being of the populace and subverting your judicial mandate.
( http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2163809 )


"Don't do to someone else if you don't want it to be done to you."Who of anonymous is living this message? It certainly isn't the one who send me pictures of a man spreading open his asshole! It certainly aren't the ones who are posting child and adult porn.
Anonymous, is undermining the well-being of many. Because anonymous can be anyone, including all the fucked up abusers I have met on the internet who just love to gore things up and spread nasty shit all over.
Because that is the problem when you are anonymous, you are part of that very group and not accountable for what YOU do. You may be a good person, but another anonymous person who is an abuser, may just crash and burn the entire image of the group.
That is exactly why it is required to be responsible for what you say, who you are, and what you put out. Except if your hacking government sites ofcourse... not a smart idea then. But that hacking is good for nothing. It wont change this system, it wont change your design, the way you enslave yourself to desires, feelings, fears etc... and in this also drag others along in these little games of energy.
Does any anonymous person have a solution to the world problems? To the abusive structures? Or do you simply want to give yourself energy boosts by "hacking" and thinking about "revealing" important info while your thinking your saving the world? It is actually the other way around. And if you really care, then join us in working on the solution.

If you would introduce an anarchistic society of all people doing whatever the fuck they want... sorry, but I am not down for that. You should do an experiment and test it out in like a small village somewhere, with all kinds of people. You may re-think your dream.


If you are part of anonymous, and you consider yourself a good person - then please re-think what you are doing. Map it out for yourself, what it would mean if your dream was reality. What it would mean for all humans, ALL cultures, ALL opinions. You will realize much more is required to stop abuse, and to stop humans from blindly following the way they are programmed. Because you protest certain religious movements, but many of them have simply been brainwashed to be part of it, and to think that way- same as what happened with the Christian religion, and the crusades.
We have a gigantic world, a world that you wont be able to just fix with hacking and rebelling as an anonymous collectivity of many people, where amongst those very people are abusers and haters.


I know some of you care, and some of you don't. Some of you want to end the abuse and this fucked up system. And some of you just want to play along, stir some shit but continue your own abuse as well, not taking any self-responsibility.
Those who care, will sooner or later see that what they are doing is not a solution at all.


Freedom of speech is a nice idea and all and a brilliant mask to hide behind, but it's pretty obvious that alot of people have no idea how to handle it. Not even the slightests. MANY individuals abuse free speech and use it to spread more and more nonsense and abuse. Freedom of speech is for those who can be self honest about who they are, who take responsibility for themselves and their words.

It is cool if you want this world to change, but this way is not going to do it. If so, then please email me with the plan! I am waiting for it.
If you are intrested in working ona  solution for this system together with us, please visit:

Is Psychology Capitalism or Capitalism Psychology?

These days there are pills for everything. If your child is to bouncy and jittery, get him diagnosed with ADHD, it'a real hype I can tell you! Do you feel down a lot? Do you lack any sense of enjoyment in your life? Hurry up and get some medicine for your depression.
Chemical imbalance here, chemical imbalance there... chemical imbalance everywhere!

Ritalin, Adderall, Cylert, Prozac, sertraline, amitriptyline... you name it. You can find pills for almost everything you sense, feel or do. The whole psychology industry has become that: an industry that works on profit. It makes money to have people believe they are sick, it makes money to CREATE "mentally ill" people. Psychology is capitalism for sure.
They often claim chemical imbalances in the brain cause depression, and then subscribe the patients some kind of pill that will make it all better. Often times, it doesn't even make them feel better at all. There is not enough attention given on why chemical imbalances occur. There are however studies being done about the link between thinking, and chemical imbalances in the brain. That your thoughts actually CREATE the chemical imbalance.



Social anxiety, phobia's, depression etc... everything can be linked down to one thing: your thoughts.
Observe what thoughts come into your mind, when you follow them and ACCEPT them as you. As soon as you do that, you give your power away to them and those thoughts can drag you wherever they please. They will make you feel shy, insecure, anxious, fearful, jealous or angry. The fact is: you give them power.
The simple tools of self forgiveness, self writing and being self honest would be enough to cure a person from many so called "psychological disorders". I am not talking about the severe cases that some people suffer from. But MANY of such disorders could be easily cured by just 1 single thing: you!
No need to go for medicine and hope that things will be alright. That’s what we always do: hope for  something to fix things for us.
We mess up this world, and hope for a messiah. We feel bad, we look for someone to make it better.
Instead of looking within ourselves and seeing how we all create these things. Our world, our experiences, are simply a combination of what we all do and allow together. It is all connected in one way or more. But our minds get twisted by our upbringing and culture.

That brings me to : Capitalism is Psychology.
Because Capitalism requires a certain mindset. It requires a little group at the top and a big group at the bottom. It requires people to take factory jobs, garbage cleaning jobs, shop assistants, a shitload of consumers of crappy products, it uses sweatshop work, animal abuse, people who desire a lot of money and often feel better then another or desire to be seen as superior. It is sad that those last, often make it to high positions. So the highest positions in society are often not given to people who really care. It is often given to egoists.
Capitalism requires a part of the population to believe they are better than others, who believe the poor have it coming and create their own misery.
Capitalism requires a big part of the population to be deprived of any chance to stand up.
Capitalism requires a big part of the population to believe this is all "normal", things will always be this way and always have been, "the little man" is just to small...
Capitalism requires an obedient workforce.
It requires obedient people who "know their place".
It requires separation and friction between people so that they will never stand together as 1 strong group.
Divide and conquer is the slogan.

Advertisement and media is used to have people accept certain things and reject certain things. The more insecure people feel, the more they will buy the things that are supposed to end those insecure feelings. The makeup, clothing, beauty procedures, new gadgets etc... Also an insecure attitude helps with being stuck in the "inferior" position. Never feeling good enough, unworthy, to small and insignificant.

Because we all know, the entire world can't simply life like the top billionaires do. Our planet cannot keep up with that, the amount of cars would be enormous and who would do all the work to create all those products and maintenance? It also doesn't make people happier. Maybe for a little while, but you get used to it. Of course having enough money makes you feel better because you can afford the food you need, water, a warm place to stay and clothing, doctor visits and entertainment. But some people simply go over the top.
We can have our entire world population living a good life with their basic needs taken care off. What the wealthiest will have to do, is simply let go of their desire for more and more a little, and share with those who have absolutely nothing.

Anyway, Capitalism is psychology. Psychology is Capitalism. It works both ways.
In a Capitalist system, based on profit, money will always come number one.
So keep that in mind with whatever you encounter. Do not blindly accept a way of thinking, but think for yourself! Use your brain.
When you feel depressed, anxious etc... look at your thoughts and why you experiences such things.
Look at it and see the triggers. You have the power to decide who you will be, if you can be self honest, and will yourself to do so.


Here are some examples of people who do this:
http://desteni.co.za/intro-forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=460
http://desteni.co.za/intro-forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1009&p=5807&hilit=anxiety#p5807
http://desteni.co.za/intro-forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=814&p=4507&hilit=jealousy#p4507


I asked myself: what would happen if all people would have the same opportunities as rich children. Access to the same networks, the same luxury, the same education and jobs. We would have to re-create this entire world system, towards a system based on equality and inventions that LAST, products that LAST, production that is automated a lot. To make sure all needs of people worldwide are taken care off. Not some cheap products that break down fast made by sweatshops workers (like we have today) to make lots of profit and have people buy new ones regularly. Because there would be not more slaves to do all that shit day in day out sometimes for 16 hours a day. We would need to focus our attention on quality, on making this world the best we can, for as much beings as possible.

It would also mean the end of competition. Competition these days exist to have people in friction and to make profit while some have to take the hit. There is always a winner and a loser in that game.


Cooperation works much much better! People who work together to create the best we can. No more blocks for research because some scientists dont want another to use their inventions for example.
And imagine all the millions who are deprived, imagine that they would have had the opportunity to study and expand themselves. Who knows what inventions we would have done!

More than 1 in 3 Europeans suffers from mental disorder

More than 1 in 3 Europeans suffers from mental disorder



14 % kampt met angstaanvallen, 7 % chronische slapeloos, 6,9 % chronisch depressief



38 % of the European population is dealing with a mental disorder - concluded from a large, 3 year long study of the European college of neuropsychopharmacology.


It are psychological problems such as chronical depression, panic attacks and chronic insomnia, and neurological disfunctions such as dimentia and Parkinsons.
The strangest thing is the fast increase in these conditions with woman, and that they manifest on a much younger age then usually.


Panic attacks and related disorders such as paranoia are on top of the list. 14 % of Europeans are dealing with it. 7 % is suffering from chronical insomnia. 6.9 % is chronicly depressed. 5.4 is suffering from dimentia.


According tot the ones that did the study, there are barely any differences between the countries. There is however a significant difference between males and females. With females, depressions have risen very rapidly the last 40 years, especially in the age group 16-24 years old according to Wittchen.
Females and teenagers
They link it to the change in role patterns for woman in society. What is disturbing to Wittchen and his collegue's is that the panic attacks and related illnesses are manifesting on younger ages. 90 % of the people that suffers from them, first has it in their teenage years, while in the 1970's it was people in their 20's.
30% seeks professional help.
Between 8 and 16 % go further and looks for help from specialists.

This does not surprise me at all. We all have to maintain this profit driven system that creates separation and friction between people. We have to work our ass off and perform to pay the bills and to create all the crap that capitalism requires in order to sell enough to make profit. It requires a huge working force and huge consumption and production. MUCH of which is totally unnecessary and damaging to our planet and many human beings and other living beings.
Not only that, it also deliberately creates this friction and abuse. For example making profit on people's insecurity. Look at the beauty industry: it feeds your insecurity. The more you believe a product/clothing/make up/gadget will make you BETTER, PRETTIER, SEXIER, MORE LOVED etc... the more you will go and buy it. Celebrities are used as eye catchers, for the people to follow and want to be just like them- because they are presented as people who are loved, and great, awesome, famous etc... They get money to market diets. They talk about it in magazines and interviews and woman go and buy those diet products or whatever is required. Or they launch make up and clothing lines, which all the fans just have to get a piece off.
If your BMI is to high, you’re not good enough - If you don’t have a waistline, you gotta feel insecure - if you don’t have the right clothing, what is everyone going to think? - if you don’t got a toned or peachy ass , oh no you feel like shit. - If you lashes are not dark enough, go and buy that mascara!

And on top of that, people start to judge each other as they judge themselves. Creating more separation, and often depressions in result. Because it are all those things added up, that create these balls of energy within you. Or the lack of energy because you can’t feed yourself with positive attention, or because you drain your own energy by participating in thoughts of inferiority, of not being good or pretty or rich enough.

Money plays a huge deal in mental illnesses, MUCH more than we know.
And it is very obvious if you connect the dots for yourself.

If I look at this world, how profit and shallowness drives all. How people get pushed into believes and then judge others for different believes, of how everyone has to be placed into a box to be branded, how many people have to struggle to get buy sometimes taking care of the household + doing 2 jobs. The high demands, that we allow within ourselves towards ourselves, that we accept from the system and project onto others and this world as slaves.
It's not surprising at all.
The increase may simply as well be because of the different "standards" to label something as a disorder much easier and faster. So that the selling of medicine or requirement for specialist may get up. Like with ADHD and ADD and shit, often for children which are completely fine! But get this label and then have to go on pills. That is how fucked up it is.
You got depression? Just pop this pill and you'll feel better.
Check this out:


Woman were not as much involved in the workforce as they are today. For many years woman were in an inferior role and man has to "lead". Maybe they were too afraid of women’s power ;) haha.
It was fed by religious writings passed on by religious institutions to justify women’s role as inferior beings to man.
Now woman are becoming more equal to man, their role in society and working environment. They also get the stress, the high demands, more work combined with household tasks. Some man are still stuck in the old role pattern of "woman has to do household, man work". Both of them might go working, but the woman is still on her own doing the household and taking care of the kids. I personally know a couple of examples of this. Which is quite shocking. Caring about another, means to snap out of these roles and do your own thinking and consider the one you are living with as an equal to yourself.
Each carrying a load of the "burden".

With the rise of the media, especially the consumption media! - the rise of depressions and panic attacks for example must have gone up as well. Bombarded with these messages and commercial slogans. Buy this, buy that, you need this, you need that. Added with all the bad news in this world.
I am not against showing what is happening in our world, I do this myself. But the problem is that newspapers do not add a solution. It is also based on profit. Without profit = RIP newspaper. So this should tell you a lot...
Newspapers are competitors as well.
So you see all the bad shit, all the shit from certain groups of people, but not really the cause and solution. For example: sometimes they write a lot about "immigrants", which the ignorant population blindly accepts without ANY further investigation and goes off into stigmatizing entire groups of people. Immigrants are suddenly bad and have to be repelled. No one looks at why there are so many immigrants, why people become as they are, what can stop this from being re-created. The media is very powerful in creating these stigma's and friction between people and groups of people. Because the population is simply not educated a lot. Even with years and years of studying, people are sometimes still so ignorant to not even investigate or think for themselves.

Is it not about time that we see this system is at it's end? How much more abuse and self-abuse are we willing to put up with?
Haven’t we exploited the earth and other living beings enough already?
