Bitcoin: P2P currency to Smash Banks?!

 Technology To Upend All Banks

Bitcoin is catching on at internet speed. If they can’t control it then  States , corporations and money markets will lose their monopoly or riches, poor countries will benefit most.. Crime cartels may  benefit, already there is a big drug trade in Bitcoins, but the main winners will be ordinary people. Right now the banks control the world.. Bitcoin could change that. The only way to stop Bitcoin is to destroy the Internet.

Can this decentralized barter currency free humanity from the grip of the slave masters and provide for a truly free-market economy?

There are no transfer fees or centralized clearing house needed for peers to trade Bits. Bitcoins are held in a wallet that carries an anonymous address in the system.  Watch the brief video below for a concise description:

Once you download and run the Bitcoin client software, it connects over the Internet to the decentralized network of all Bitcoin users and also generates a pair of unique, mathematically linked keys, which you’ll need to exchange bitcoins with any other client. One key is private and kept hidden on your computer. The other is public and a version of it dubbed a Bitcoin address is given to other people so they can send you bitcoins. Crucially, it is practically impossible—even with the most powerful supercomputer—to work out someone’s private key from their public key. This prevents anyone from impersonating you. Your public and private keys are stored in a file that can be transferred to another computer, for example if you upgrade.

It’s called a cryptocurrency.   Since the invention of Bitcoin…   Money will never be the same

  • In the Bitcoin economy, there is no central bank…  no privately owned “federal reserve” bank coprporation.  The value of Bitcoins does not go down when “The Fed” decides to “print more money”.  In fact, it might even go up in value… as it triggers more people to seek out alternatives to storing their money in the world’s “fiat currencies” (paper money that different nations’ central banks just continue to “print more of”)… and buy more Bitcoin instead.  In the news, the corporate-owned media call it, “Quantitative Easing”….  We think it would be more appropriate to call it, “The Titanic”.

           Ya know how email… changed old-fashioned mail… forever…?   Well, Bitcoin is changing money… forever.

  • It’s as anonymous as you want it to be.  Just like with cash, transactions can be totally anonymous.  Transactions are only identified by your Bitcoin address, and you can have as many Bitcoin addresses as you want.  You create another new Bitcoin address with one click any time you want to.  Most people create a new Bitcoin Address for every person sending them a payment.  That way, they know for sure who the payment came from.
  • Destroying Sate and Bank control of money is a vital  1st step  towards a Money Free World
  • There’s no big brother.  Third parties can’t prevent or control your transactions.  Transfer money easily through the internet, without having to trust middlemen; no central bank, nor central authority.
  • It’s not a bank.  It’s not paypal.  What may be the best feature of all?
  • “Bye bye, PayPal.”   “Bye bye, Bank.”

Peru: Gold rush destroys 6 times more forest.

The greedy capitalists who caused the last economic crash then put their cash in gold. Causing the price to soar to crazy levels and triggering new gold rushes, with tragic consequences for the miners and the environment.

The rising price of gold has multiplied by six the pace of deforestation in the Amazon rainforest in the Peruvian region of Madre de Dios in recent years. Swenson said. “Given the rate of recent increases, we project mercury imports will more than double by the end of 2011, to about 500 tons a year,” she said.

The highly poisonous metal is used by poor gold-diggers to wash gold off rock and sand. It is not only harmful to the health of those who handle it, but it also pollutes the region’s rivers and air. Mercury also gets into the food chain and harms local indigenous communities and even those that live further away.

Once the gold searchers are done, they leave behind a desert landscape that is poisoned by mercury. Peruvian Environment Minister Antonio Brack said gold-diggers have already destroyed 32,000 hectares of rainforest in Madre de Dios. In March, a large joint operation by police and the military targeted tens of thousands of gold searchers, and 32 floating dredges were seized, Brack said. The minister said he was sorry about the death of two prospectors during the raid, although he stressed that the use of force had been justified in the face of an “environmental tragedy.” However, the problem is far from solved. Police assume that at least 250 floating dredges are in use in the region. According to Brack, it will take at least five years to get those searching for gold to leave. And yet poverty in Peru continues to push more and more people into searching for gold, as well as into other equally illegal activities like logging or settling in the rainforest.

There are other factors at work. Climate change in the Andes is already affecting small farming communities, forcing them to adapt or move elsewhere.

The near completion of the Inter-Oceanic Highway, which cuts a swathe straight through this once inaccessible part of the Peruvian Amazon, will lead to migration on an unprecedented scale.

The road, which will link Pacific ports in southern Peru to the Atlantic coast in Brazil, could well become the greatest factor in the environmental degradation of this once pristine pocket of biodiversity.

Peru: Keiko quiere esterilizar mujeres pobres

PLAN DE GOBIERNO DE KEIKO FUJIMORI EN PERU SOLO COLOCARA A LAS MUJERES COMO AMAS DE CASA Y COCINERAS Y PROMOVERA LAS ESTERILZIACIONES MASIVAS AL IGUAL QUE EL GOBIERNO DE SU PADRE EL JAPONES DICTADOR ALBERTOFUJIMORI

If she wins the election Keiko Fujimori will hand he country to the bankers and speculators. She also plans to extend her father’s program of forced sterilizations of poor women.

.El Plan de Gobierno de Fuerza 2011 no contempla ninguna medida efectiva para la salud reproductiva de la mujer por lo que las prácticas de esterilizaciones masivas compulsivas serían una práctica habitual en caso de instalarse Keiko Fujimori en el gobierno, vaticinó el analista político peruano Mauricio Quiroz T., VicePresidente del Instituto Pueblo Continente.
En las tres páginas de su Plan de Gobierno de solo 58 páginas, dedicadas al sector salud, no existe una sola medida sustantiva al respecto y menos sobre investigar las mas de 300,000 esterilizaciones masivas practicadas durante el gobierno del japonés Alberto Fujimori, que gobernó dictatorialmente al Perú en la década del ’90.

Además, contra la experiencia internacional y el notable desarrollo laboral femenino, Keiko Fujimori pretende que las mujeres peruanas solo estén en casa cocinando mejor pues solo busca educar a la madre en “prácticas nutricionales”, conforme señala su Plan de Gobierno en su página 17.

Un Gobierno de Fuerza 2011 y Keiko Fujmori, entonces, no sólo protegerán a los funcionarios corruptos de su administración , como ya hemos denunciado anteriormente (http://colombia.indymedia.org/news/2011/05/121943.php sino que continuarán las prácticas masivas de esterilizaciones contra la voluntad de las mujeres.

No en vano, agregó el analista, tiene entre sus asesores al médico Alejandro Aguinaga, uno de los promotores de dicha medida durante la dictadura fujimontesinista peruana.

capitalist criminals: Obscene Arms Fair in Paris.

Arms firms eye Paris air show order bonanza

‘Manufacturers expect large orders to be placed during this month’s Paris air show’

..”A broad range of companies, ranging from small component makers to giant defence and security firms such as Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems, Finmeccanica and Northrop Grumman, will fill the 130,000 square metres (1.4m sq ft) of exhibition space in the chalets and halls on the edge of Le Bourget airport’s runway.With more than 200 official delegations from 88 countries, many in the arms industry are expecting their order books to be dramatically boosted this year, industry officials and military officers have told BBC News….

Several countries that are normally not actively involved in armed conflicts are now in a position where they will need to restock bombs, ammunition and weapons following months of action in Libya and conflict elsewhere in the region, an executive at an international arms company told BBC News….”

This refers to France, Italy  and the UK.. while we suffer cuts to basic services these bastards spend our taxes on selling WAR. When will we kick out these murdering criminals and their pet politicians!!They sold Ghadaffi all kinds of arms, now they’re selling same weapons to the rebels and competing to control Libyan oil supplies

”Orders from these countries could top several hundred million – and perhaps even billions – of dollars, industry officials predict”……

sabotage against pig and turkey farms

Unclaimed wave of sabotage against pig and turkey farms — IA
Police have reported a rash of sabotage actions against pig and  turkey farms across northeastern Iowa. Damage is described as  “considerable”. Neither the Animal Liberation Front nor other  clandestine animal liberation group has yet claimed responsibility.
The actions are described as occurring at “multiple” farms in three  counties. Three pig factory farms were vandalized in Chickasaw and  Fayette Counties. One turkey factory farm in Bremer County was also  targeted. One of the sabotaged farms was 5 miles northwest of New  Hampton, site of the largest Animal Liberation Front mink liberation in  U.S. history.
The sabotage included damaged office equipment and broken windows.  Police have not ruled out the actions could be merely apolitical  vandalism. However if there was no danger of animal’s being harmed in  the action, factory farms would be a likely A.L.F. target and these  attacks would fit the model of an Animal Liberation Front action.
Police are advising farms to be vigilant in monitoring their farms, and call police if they notice suspicious vehicles.
