  1. #banks produce nothing #own everything? #unsustainable
    systemic + fatal flaw of modern day #fiat #monopoly #capitalism = modern day #feudalism: not #education or #intelligence earns most #money, no whoever owns #assets everyone else is dependant on = #exploitation = will ultimately lead to less #innovation + destruction of #mankind, #rich vs #poor + #inequality growing = #collapse of #society "thank you"

    = no matter how #smart #people or #government are or act: will lose game to whoever prints #money + buys = owns #assets = #bank #centralbank
    why? because new #fiat #money created of air whenever someone get's #loan approved (#governments usually get approved) problem: #interest on this #loan is NEVER created

    to pay #interest on #loan #government needs to take something away from someone (no matter domestic or foreign)

    #solution: invest every USD + EUR + Peso in your own #INDEPENDENCE from #financesystem #water, #food, #energy, DO IT NOW!

  2. How #corporate #SLAPP lawsuits endanger our rights and the #planet

    "Hope creates the conditions for #ClimateAction. And climate action nurtures hope. Just as hope and action have a reinforcing relationship, so do fear and silence.

    "The #polluting #corporations who put #profits over people and the planet know this and they use their resources to intimidate, to instill fear, and ultimately to silence the people directly impacted by their short-sighted, extractive greed.

    "#SLAPPs, a type of abusive lawsuit, are a key tool used by corporate power to suppress #FreeSpeech and people power. These cynical lawsuits can force non-profit organizations like #Greenpeace International to divert precious resources away from campaigning for a more just and sustainable society. Perhaps even worse, SLAPPs can intimidate targets from challenging powerful corporations in the future.

    "Every SLAPP, regardless of the defendant, is an attack on everyone who believes in the power of free speech and the right to #PeacefulProtest. No one should be bullied for speaking up on behalf of people and the planet.

    "But CorporateBullies beware!

    "In a massive win for free speech, a US federal court recently dismissed a seven-year lawsuit brought by #ResoluteForestryProducts against a number of Greenpeace staff members and entities, including #GreenpeaceInternational and #GreenpeaceUSA. The #Canadian #logging company sued the Greenpeace defendants for CA $100 million in an attempt to silence and bankrupt them, after criticism of its #unsustainable #forestry practices.

    "Let’s take a closer look at SLAPPs so you can recognize them when you see them:

    "What does #SLAPP stand for? SLAPP stands for '#StrategicLawsuitAgainstPublicParticipation '. These lawsuits are used by #corporations attempting to diminish or even stop public participation in civil society. SLAPPs often lack any kind of merit, and don’t need to result in a legal victory to achieve the outcome desired by corporate bullies.

    "SLAPPs waste time and cause financial and sometimes #PsychologicalHarm to targeted individuals and organisations who have to hire #lawyers and engage in costly #LegalBattles, sometimes to the point of facing bankruptcy. These lawsuits attempt to silence free speech and limit peaceful #dissent by using litigation as a tool for deterring non-violent protest and even documenting and bearing witness."
