Greetings citizens of the world,
I'm not here today to address those who are already here.
I'm here to bring a message to those who are not.
And I ask of you not to hear me, but I want you to actually listen.
I ask you not of agreement with what I am about to say, but I dare you to challenge everything I say.

Prove me wrong: through research.

It is likely that you find comfort in your current lifestyle, you are able to support your family, and the people around you are all living comfortably as well.
Your future seem secure and safe, so why should you pay heed to these protests?
They don't affect you or concern you.

You may also think that we are just a bunch of lazy people that want more, while doing less, while you work very hard to attain a comfortable life for you and your family.
Well then might I ask, "why are you working so hard?"
There is enough food, land, and necessities to go around.

why are you working so hard everyday?
You have your own stressful problems to deal with, you don't have time to fool around with us.
Why are you stressed?

It has been proven that stress is bad for your health, and can lead to many unfavored health issues.
So you would agree that this stress you have, is affecting you.

Well then, lets take time to think about what causes that stress.
competition at work, competing with others and competing to earn a sufficient amount of money to bring to the table for your family to maintain this comfort.

We do have enough food, housing area, and other necessities to go around, with tons left over, why are you still competing to survive?

Money deflates as your central banks pump more money into circulation to stabilize the economy and avoid a economical collapse.
There's not enough money in circulation because the debt of everyone rises due to interest.

It's fine if your wage goes up as fast as the money deflates. but does it?
Lets look ahead, and imagine your children: buying homes.
Their mortgage, or debt, will be sold off to people who have the money to lend.
The interest of this will allow the rich to profit from the poor.

As the gap grows,  technology is also growing and tedious or repetitive jobs are constantly being replaced by  machines to allow time/cost efficiency for the companies, putting many more out of their jobs, unable to pay their debt.

The more in debt the people are, the more interest is earned, the more money is pumped into circulation the more it depreciates. This cycle will continue till everything is bankrupt.
This is happening around the world, many countries have already been driven to bankruptcy.

This isn't the only issue.

The environment, our earth, the only place we have, is being devoured by this system.
And well, without earth, no one will have anything.
"its not going to happen anytime, in my lifetime or anytime soon" is what you think
But at our current rate of consumption, this may prove otherwise.

Economical literally means to be efficient.
Our current one, is an anti-economy that encourages unnecessary waste.
It is time to create an actual economy.
One that competes to contribute rather than to gain.
One that will provide abundance.
One that can be sustained.
One less susceptible to corruption.

I realize that there isn't a choice.
But there is, and there are, just look at the Venus project over by the Zeitgeist booth.
Although these alternative economies are not fully developed. They are there. And we are here: to collaborate and develop these alternatives.

Today is my birthday, and my only birthday wish is for you to prove me wrong.

We are neither left winged, nor right winged.
We dare to take both wings and fly.
We are legion.
