Yesterday I spent over 6 hours at the Occupy Portland march and occupation, shooting some video. Here’s a short documentary about Day 1 – on the ground. Enjoy!

No matter how much real money people can put together to build their countries the way they want there are those that can print up what ever it takes to dictate their way.
Maybe this will help make the danger of fiat money clear.
Imagine you and me are setting across from each other. We create enough money to represent all of the world’s wealth. Each one of us has one SUPER Dollar in front of him.
You own half of everything and so do I.
I’m the government though. I get bribed into creating a Central Bank.
You’re not doing what I want you to be doing so I print up myself eight more SUPER Dollars to manipulate you with.
All of a sudden your SUPER Dollar only represents one tenth of the wealth of the world!
That isn’t the only thing though. You need to get busy and get to work because YOU’VE BEEN STIFFED with the bill for the money I PRINTED UP to get YOU TO DO what I WANTED.
That to me represents what has been happening to the economy, and us, and why so many of our occupations just can’t keep up with the fake money presses.

I see it as an “arms race” of the fiat currencies s.t. the physical wars and resources “wars” are programmed to run encapsulated (use verb #3) within this Machine. I like the optical illusion animation superimposed on your fiat currency bill’s image where the the usual 4 motifs of US fiat currency usually appear.
Neither I, nor anyone I have ever known has had “half the money”. The governments and the corporations can both go to hell. If they fight each other and devalue the currency it will barely matter to me, or anybody I know, because we are broke. You can’t devalue what you don’r have.
I’ve uploaded a video to my Facebook page. It’s from Occupy Philly at 9:00pm.
great video rch! thank you. tweeted and recommended
tell that cop with a camera who “works for himself” that I cannot find “digable monkey” and I looked “all over the internet”.
what was that Eric Sloane dude talking about when he said “Moveon.org is beholden to corporate interests” ? He better get his factcheck going or he’s got a short career as a newsman, or a long career at Faux News.
“diggable monkey”
Why, thank you kindly!
