Break the banking system: bottom-up monetary reform & local currency

Today on The Janssen Report: reporting from a venue near Amsterdam where we discuss in a group of 50 people not just what's wrong with the monetary system, but also what we can do to change it. Attendees were members of alternative media, monetary reformists, economists and people who just wanted to learn. This is happening all over the world. There are plenty of relatively successful local currencies outside of the banking system (and I'm not referring to Bitcoin in this case). Plenty going on folks. You can be part of the change too. More on this topic to follow, so stay tuned! Cheers, Marco Janssen The Janssen Report

1. You should sell your ideas to the poor countries which has the lowest currencies rate in the world. The people have nothing much to lose.
2. 1. If you cant make it work in your country chances are youd not make it work in other countries if the collapse is global 2. Making it work is to create a responsible off-grid system which can replace collapsing systems e.g. government, energy, banking,, main-stream religion, education, financial system through banks, corporate dependency, main-stream media etc. Once you have that kind of system you can spread and share it cross-borders.
3. Script..it does work.
4. Thanks Marco for the update.
5. There are local currencies in the UK, a lot of them are linked to the transition movement so we have the Brixton Pound, and the Totnes pound which both function as currencies in their local areas
6. exactly. we all need to be manufacturing/producing something. and we need to be building community. local is key, relationships are key.
7. Maybe e.g. Greece's people should pursue world citizenship en-masse to get their sovereignty back ((see www.worldservice.org) A world government that would bring people together, not tear them apart goes back to ancient Greece. They call themsrlves cosmopolites. Socrates 2500 years ago said:"Dont call yourself just an Athenian or a Greek-call yourself a citizen of the world. He decided that he would be its first formal citizen. Excerpt from "The cosmopolites-the coming of the global citizen" by Atossa Araxia Abrahamian (Amazon)
