GoFundMe

my dears, this is just a 'save the issue' / 'save the date' blog post remaining me to think about how to collect some money to fund the good ... especially to fund organizators of demos in munich pro peace, pro nature, pro healthy food (no-GMO & monsanto stuff), pro real democracy, pro freedom and the like and of course contra the current financial-military-system which destroys the whole planet in front of our eyes, thus:

 OccupyWallStreet + OccupyWarStreet + OccupyYourStreet + OccupyTogether + OccupyTogether = RealDemocracyNow

well, i've created my fundraising call by mistake / misunderstanding while i thought i'm entering my profile data after donation of some money to support the OWS hard grounders in NY in their fundraising effort. anyway, i think the crowdfunding idea could work for some kind of issues, couldn't it?

test #1: WOULD YOU SEND ANY MONEY TO A GUY LIKE THIS?

more on crowdfunding coming soon or never :-)

vampirestat ~ the evil connection?

what the hell is vampirestat.com? who the hell knows it? who the hell owns it? is it a click hunter robot / bot machine? well, the most readers of my blog were redirected from this site to my blog and none of them clicked of any of my articles, just on the main page ... you know what? my blog is not linked at vampirestat.com and i can't find my blog there even if i try .. 

well, i'm a friend / follower of vampirestat on FB and g+ (facebook and google+). but let be honest, if that would be the connection, all readers would visit my blog from facebook's or google's website and not from vamirestat, wouldn't they? what the hall is that beautiful female vamp trying to do to my blog? 😇

just to show you how vampirestat appears, enjoy 3 pictures.

strange world, isn't it? what do they want from me? my money, my soul, both? any ideas out there, my dear bloggosphere?

addendum few days later: sites (or programs or robots or bots or deamons) like this are called a spambot <=> a site which sends automated emails or tries automatically to connect to other websites, accounts, crack passwords and the like. in case of vampirestat they probably only try to attract bloggers to their like a blogger utility (statistics) looking site and hope to make money via the diverse ads contained on the site ... hmmmm, it  also could be a working business model, couldn't it? you can find more information in this great blog post (in german):

you don't know how? it is easy, my dears. there are ten thousands small and big issues out there which improve the world. just try few of them :-)

trial #1: i have planted 4 golden acacia trees which i have grown up from seeds in the nearby forest and i still have two more for later this year or for next year. two live already in 'freedom' since last autumn, but one struggling a lot as they cut all bushes at the nearby supermarket, so i'm not sure it will survive ... the other one is fine and growing :)

before

good-bye flower pot + hello forest, the new home for my sweet little babes

after

shall the local ghosts take care of my small trees? will they?

they were 170 years here for us. still healthy + producing oxygen we breath. now dead. so sad 😨

trial #2: let's support local businesses ~ ok, just visited friend's hot stone massage around the corner

this beauty is not me, of course. source of the picture: here

trial #3: what about my next trial for the idea 'grow food, not lawn'? of course organic and for sure no GMO / monsanto 'supported' stuff :-)

chili, eatable, i've already tried it => so hot :-)

trial #4: help others

our hedgehog winter hotel, catering starts in december :)

trial #5: an interesting social project in germany, where people can interact together in open spaces using a multifunctional cube shape it to different things like bridge, bench, children playing ground etc. WIRFEL (like würfel aka cube in german)

The man who lives without money

OCTOBER 4, 2013 11:09 AM                                                  VIEWS: 368490

Irishman Mark Boyle tried to live life with no income, no bank balance and no spending. Here’s how he finds it.

If someone told me seven years ago, in my final year of a business and economics degree, that I’d now be living without money, I’d have probably choked on my microwaved ready meal. The plan back then was to get a ‘good’ job, make as much money as possible, and buy the stuff that would show society I was successful.

For a while I did it – I had a fantastic job managing a big organic food company; had myself a yacht on the harbour. If it hadn’t been for the chance purchase of a video called Gandhi, I’d still be doing it today. Instead, for the last fifteen months, I haven’t spent or received a single penny. Zilch.

The change in life path came one evening on the yacht whilst philosophising with a friend over a glass of merlot. Whilst I had been significantly influenced by the Mahatma’s quote “be the change you want to see in the world”, I had no idea what that change was up until then. We began talking about all major issues in the world – environmental destruction, resource wars, factory farms, sweatshop labour – and wondering which of these we would be best devoting our time to. Not that we felt we could make any difference, being two small drops in a highly polluted ocean.

But that evening I had a realisation. These issues weren’t as unrelated as I had previously thought – they had a common root cause. I believe the fact that we no longer see the direct repercussions our purchases have on the people, environment and animals they affect is the factor that unites these problems.

The degrees of separation between the consumer and the consumed have increased so much that it now means we’re completely unaware of the levels of destruction and suffering embodied in the ‘stuff’ we buy.

Very few people actually want to cause suffering to others; most just don’t have any idea that they directly are. The tool that has enabled this separation is money, especially in its globalised format.

Take this for an example: if we grew our own food, we wouldn’t waste a third of it as we do today.

If we made our own tables and chairs, we wouldn’t throw them out the moment we changed the interior décor.

If we had to clean our own drinking water, we probably wouldn’t shit in it.

So to be the change I wanted to see in the world, it unfortunately meant I was going to have to give up money, which I decided to do for a year initially. So I made a list of the basics I’d need to survive. I adore food, so it was at the top. There are four legs to the food-for-free table: foraging wild food, growing your own, bartering and using waste grub, of which there far too much.

On my first day I fed 150 people a three course meal with waste and foraged food. Most of the year I ate my own crops though and waste only made up about five per cent my diet. I cooked outside – rain or shine – on a rocket stove.

Next up was shelter. So I got myself a caravan from Freecycle, parked it on an organic farm I was volunteering with, and kitted it out to be off the electricity grid. I’d use wood I either coppiced or scavenged to heat my humble abode in a wood burner made from an old gas bottle, and I had a compost loo to make ‘humanure’ for my veggies.

I bathed in a river, and for toothpaste I used washed up cuttlefish bone with wild fennel seeds, an oddity for a vegan. For loo roll I’d relieve the local newsagents of its papers (I once wiped my arse with a story about myself); it wasn’t double quilted but it quickly became normal. To get around I had a bike and trailer, and the 55 km commute to the city doubled up as my gym subscription. For lighting I’d use beeswax candles.

Many people label me an anti-capitalist. Whilst I do believe capitalism is fundamentally flawed, requiring infinite growth on a finite planet, I am not anti anything. I am pro-nature, pro-community and pro-happiness. And that’s the thing I don’t get – if all this consumerism and environmental destruction brought happiness, it would make some sense. But all the key indicators of unhappiness – depression, crime, mental illness, obesity, suicide and so on are on the increase. More money it seems, does not equate to more happiness.

Ironically, I have found this year to be the happiest of my life. I’ve more friends in my community than ever, I haven’t been ill since I began, and I’ve never been fitter. I’ve found that friendship, not money, is real security. That most western poverty is spiritual. And that independence is really interdependence.

Could we all live like this tomorrow? No. It would be a catastrophe, we are too addicted to both it and cheap energy, and have managed to build an entire global infrastructure around the abundance of both. But if we devolved decision making and re-localised down to communities of no larger than 150 people, then why not? For over 90 per cent of our time on this planet, a period when we lived much more ecologically, we lived without money. Now we are the only species to use it, probably because we are the species most out of touch with nature.

People now often ask me what is missing compared to my old world of lucre and business. Stress. Traffic-jams. Bank statements. Utility bills. Oh yeah, and the odd pint of organic ale with my mates down the local.

what  about my save the world link library, my dears?

anything else? coming soon or never ...

october 15th meets blogactionday :-)

it is october 15th and tomorrow is a blog action day #BAD13 on human rights? how strange is that? my dears, two years ago begun the worldwide movement of the (hopefully soon) 99% pro peace, freedom, direct democracy, human rights etc. and contra the 1% who control politics, mainstream media, military, central banks etc, later known as OccupyWallStreet movement (OWS itself begun on sept 17th, 2011) ... just feel the enthusiasm i have had back then  

Courtesy of: http://www.blogactionday.org

OMG, let's read the wording from oct 15th, 2011 one more time (copied from my old blog post / source of origin: https://www.facebook.com/15octobernet):

* If the Political system no longer represents us, then we must look for alternatives.

* If corporations no longer represent our values then we must look for alternatives.

* If the media no longer represent us, then we must look for alternatives.

We are the 99%, and it’s time to let the 1% know that this world is our world, and if we aren’t happy with the way it is run, then it’s time to take it back. It’s time to show them what a REAL democracy looks like.

Because these streets are our streets, this city is our city, this movement is our movement, and together we can affect real change.

Whether the 1% like it or not, Power is

coming back to the People and we are...

United for #Globalchange.

what about a german wording? here we go, enjoy the manifest from one of the movement websites (source of origin unknown (maybe one of the german facebook pages of the movement?), i have just got a copy somewhere).

Bewegung 15. Oktober

Manifest für echte Demokratie, soziale Gerechtigkeit, Freiheit und Solidarität

Demokratie

Wir wollen in einer Gesellschaft leben, die sich zur Demokratie im Sinne einer direkten Volksherrschaft bekennt, die Aufklärung über Manipulation stellt und in der jede Stimme, ohne Ansehen von Vermögen und sozialem Status, gleich viel zählt.

Frieden

Wir wollen in einer Gesellschaft leben, die sich mit aller Kraft für den Frieden zwischen den Völkern und im Innern einsetzt und in der Krieg und Gewalt geächtet und nicht als Mittel der Politik anerkannt werden.

Meinungsfreiheit

Wir wollen in einer Gesellschaft leben, in der jeder seine Meinung ohne Angst vor Verfolgung oder Benachteiligung offen und frei äußern kann.

Toleranz

Wir wollen in einer Gesellschaft leben, in der jeder, unabhängig von seiner Herkunft, seiner Religion, seiner Überzeugung, seiner sexuellen Orientierung und seinen körperlichen und geistigen Eigenschaften mit Toleranz, Würde und Verständnis behandelt wird

Solidarität

Wir wollen in einer Gesellschaft leben, die Schwachen, Hilfsbedürftigen und Notleidenden, unabhängig von den Ursachen für ihre Schwäche, ihre Hilfsbedürftigkeit und ihre Not, im eigenen Land und in jedem anderen Land solidarisch und hilfsbereit gegenübersteht.

Wirtschaft

Wir wollen in einer Gesellschaft leben, in der sich die Wirtschaft dem Wohl der Menschen unterordnet, in der Besitz untrennbar mit sozialer Verantwortung verbunden ist und in der das Streben nach Glück höher bewertet wird als das Streben nach Gewinn.

Arbeit

Wir wollen in einer Gesellschaft leben, die sich für gerechte und faire Arbeitsverhältnisse einsetzt, die Menschen in allen Lebenslagen und Altersgruppen Perspektiven bietet und die verhindert, dass die Würde der Arbeit der Profit sucht und Gier Einzelner geopfert wird.

Bildung

Wir wollen in einer Gesellschaft leben, in der jeder, unabhängig von seiner Herkunft, seinem sozialen oder finanziellen Status, seinem Alter und seiner Vorbildung Zugang zu allen Bildungsangeboten erhält und sich frei und ohne Einschränkungen mit allen Inhalten beschäftigen kann, die ihm für seine persönliche Entwicklung als sinnvoll erscheinen.

Soziale Sicherheit

Wir wollen in einer Gesellschaft leben, in der niemand Angst um seine soziale Sicherheit und seine Versorgung mit Wohnung, Nahrung, Wärme, Kleidung, kultureller und sozialer Teilhabe, medizinischer Versorgung, Bildung, Kommunikation, Genuss und Mobilität hat.

Nachhaltigkeit

Wir wollen in einer Gesellschaft leben, in der alle mit Sorgfalt und Behutsamkeit mit den Menschen, der Natur, der Umwelt und den Ressourcen umgehen.

Hierbei handelt es sich um einen Vorschlag. Jeder, der sich zugehörig zu der Bewegung fühlt, soll den Entwurf prüfen, ihn erweitern, ergänzen und verbreiten, bis er sich zum Konsens entwickelt hat, der den Protesten ein klares Gesicht verleiht und es den Medien und der Politik unmöglich macht, sie für sich und ihre eigenen Ziele zu vereinnahmen und zu missbrauchen.

Empört Euch! Verbündet Euch! Wehrt Euch!

ein schönes manifest, stimmt's? und erinnert mich total an die konzepte für freie + faire gesellschaften, euch nicht?

anything else? coming soon or never :-)

ok, here we go, addendum oct 18th, 2013: what would such a libertarian society be called or easier: what is the best *ism on earth? anarchocapitalism / anarcho-capitalism (anarchy + capitalism), if you asked me. well, that's my definition of free society with free social and business relationships between its members :)

an that's why government robs us (source: here)

but watch out my dears. Obama to Congress (yesterday): Time to Ignore ‘Activists,’ ‘Bloggers,’ and ‘Talking Heads on Radio’. why? probably because unlike government and its small dirty mainstream media, could the activists + bloggers tell you the truth ... listen esp. the minute 6 in the attached video (source: here)
