Economical crisis in the US and how to fix it

You can find hundreds of forums where people discuss the actual economical situation and propose solutions. This is actually good, the population is becoming more and more interested in such general and important topics. Society is waking up, things are starting to move, people are getting interested and a little agitated, they want to get involved in something to improve things. But when you listen to their proposals it sounds like if they were waking up from a deep sleep since the 60's. The new technology and its social implications are almost totally absent from their language.

First, when it comes to the economical crisis the problem is NOT the production capacity or the human power and creativity. The problems we are facing now are SYSTEMIC. They DON'T reside in us, the people. The economical and financial systems have been in great part monopolized. A monopoly restricts free associations and hinders exchanges in society, which means that it chokes the economy. A monopoly restricts freedom for motives other than the well being of all and, in doing so, the market shots down. Read "The Revolution: A Manifesto" by Ron Paul, I don't agree with everything he is saying, but he exposes this particular reality quite well. To this add the corruption, which is another consequence of monopolies, given enough time they tend to become increasingly dissolute. No matter how much productive potential you have, if the system doesn't allow you to express it you cannot contribute to the economy, create jobs, and make a good living in doing so.

My friends, let's start thinking outside of the box... Let's abandon the capitalism/socialism dichotomy and think of new solutions for a new reality in new terms. We don't live in the 60's or 70's anymore. Even the 90's seam to belong to a different era. That's before the digital camera, the cell phone and the Internet. We are talking about a new reality, new possibilities, new and powerful tools for communication, collaboration and coordination, robotics, fast transportation, new sources of energy... new ways of doing things, new alternatives that compete with the old centralized and corrupt institutions.

The proper attitude is to follow the MULTITUDE SOCIAL MOVEMENT, which is to think of how you can use the tools you have at your disposal to escape from monopolies. Think of new ways to exchange with your peers by bypassing the system, which is there ONLY to suck from the flow that is channeled through it. Using the new tools offered by the new technology build networks and connect producers and consumers directly. Let the benefit stay with the people. This will shift the center of gravity in our society from the elite to the multitude, to us.

Restructuring tax is part of the solution BUT the proper way to do it is to be found in the proper context. To change politicians is fine, but there are other corrupt ones waiting to take their place. We must change society from the ground up. We must reconstruct it! The multitude social movement, this CONSTRUCTIVE REVOLUTION is about creating new democratic and decentralized institutions alongside the old ones, while directly profiting from it. It will not take long before the old hierarchical monopolistic institutions will be starved and the new ones will form the new fabric of our new society. Think constructively! Think to increase your freedom. Think to divorce monopolistic systems whenever you can. It is not only in our collective interest, it is primarily in YOUR best interest.

Military coalition to protect interests in Haiti

Up to 3,500 U.S. army troops have been ordered to leave for Haiti, said U.S. Department of Defense on Thursday.The US army took control of the main airport in Port-au-Prince immediately after the disaster. The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson is due to arrive Thursday, carrying 14 helicopters. While the report did not provide any troop figures, Southern Command commander Gen. Douglas Fraser said Wednesday the U.S. was also deploying a large amphibious ship carrying a 2,000-person Marine expeditionary unit, helicopters and smaller landing craft. That unit is set to arrive Friday (see report 1; see report 2).

Canada sent 200 troops, and police forces are also sent for "help" (see report).

Brazil has already 1,266 military in Haiti, who are part of the United Nations peacekeeping force (Minustah), and is sending more (see report).

Google troops Haiti for more...

Is the army really necessary to help Haiti, or perhaps this is an effort to maintain control over this country, where the puppet government is out of order due to the disaster? I'am not trying to minimize the human suffering caused by the earthquake. I'am not saying that other countries should not help in any way they can. But is there really a need for such a massive deployment of troops and military equipment. Under the veil of the humanitarian aid this is a military invasion of Haiti.

Canada, along with the United States and France, has targeted this poorest of nations in the Western Hemisphere for special assistance. Haiti is Canada's second-largest aid recipient after Afghanistan. See report.

Remember that the US and France, helped by Canada, plotted the coup d'Etat against Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Aristide was kidnapped in the middle of the night of 28 February 2004, and transported to a French military base in Africa.

In 2000 Aristide published a book, The Eyes of the Heart: Seeking a Path for the Poor in the Age of Globalization, which used Haiti as a case study of globalization. Aristide specifically points out problems with the World Bank and the IMF in creating larger problems within Haitian society and the economy.
