hi all just reading your comments on this film with interest.
If I may add my two cents worth.
I think Addendum as with all the other info we are all trawling through has its good and bad points, of course. Nobody out making these info pieces is EVER going to make a piece that everyone agrees with, that nails the issues exactly correctly and offers a solution perfect in presentation and possibility of success.
Its impossible. The issues are too many and too complex.

The problem we are discussing on Avalon and elsewhere is no less than the complete remake of our society. Not because it wouldn't be a bad idea and might be nice, but because it will have to change, its changing already, and it will change with or without our input. We have to get to grips with a system that is irreparably broken and try to point it in a better direction.

Jaques Fresco says in the film that his way isn't perfect, its just a lot better.
Exactly.


I forwarded the link to this film to everyone I know for two main reasons. Firstly because it exposes the banking fraud. As a start point for the uninitiated this is a very good one, especially as the proof of it is all over the news and they can see that although it sounds bizarre that the whole world could be taken for a ride by the bankers, its true. And it affects them, so they get interested. I've put people onto films like The Money Masters and Money as debt before but this one seems to be having more success.
Secondly, at the end it offers valuable solutions in terms as plain as can be.
Expose the fraud, boycott the banks who are doing this and don't join the military.

I don't believe this is a PTB disinfo piece because they give this advice. No matter what plans the PTB have, the monetary system is the means of control, and exposing this and moving to stop it functioning can only be good for us and bad for them.

The ideas and vision of the Venus project are just that, Ideas and Visions. They are not finished products, only attempts to offer an alternative. I personally don't like the look of their buildings, they lack taste. So should I go off on a diatribe about how they want to make us all live in Future-commie housing blocks and take away our free will? No.
They are showing that all is not doom and gloom, that there are other ways to do this living-on-planet-Earth thing.

A total switch from our current setup to a money-less resource based economy would be very difficult and I don't know if it would even work. Surely we would need some money to operate. But the current system where profit is the biggest objective has quite obviously been wrong and must be changed.

The concept of abundance and the mechanisation of any work that can be mechanised is very attractive, and if people had the increased leisure time this would provide to further their pursuits and all the aspects of human existence that enrich us creatively, artistically, intellectually and spiritually how could that possibly be bad? At the very least its 'just a lot better'.

All work can never be mechanised, humans are needed to do many things. And lots of people do enjoy their work, of course they do. Its this left/right paradigm thing cropping up yet again. its either one thing or the other. people work or they dont, machines do it. Its not that simple.
The problem with working and the attraction with 'doing away with work', is not the 'doing away with work' at all. Its doing away with HAVING to work.
having to pay the bills, and make ends meet, and work 40 hours, and hire child minders, and work night shifts, and get two weeks holidays a year.

Thats the point. We are slaves, and we should not be.

I have a conversation nearly every day with my friends at work talking about what we could do and invent and explore and perfect if only we had the free time.

If humanity had the free time to follow their interests, while at the same time the major problems of our societies in the areas of crime and anti social behaviour were to start to be a thing of the past because the poverty that drives most of them is fixed, then imagine what would happen?

For me that is the point of this film. People nowadays have a deficit of hope and don't see a way out and this film offers a suggestion, not a manifesto.

Also a point worth noting is that it came out at just about the peak of the doom and gloom on this forum over Oct 7th.

I'm not saying the doom and gloom is unjustified, its not, but personally addendum cheered me up a bit and was therefore gold.
