Occupy London: A Street level view: 'How clear are we all on what concencus actually is?'

@irishrogue61mak2 Go read a book and get some education.

Respect to St. Paul's ....we need to Occupy the mind of the pubic with car stickers to win our money and control back from the global 1% as every country does. Respect to Occupy... I sang a song to bypass the British propaganda machine... this modern folk song played at St. Paul's last Friday 4th Nov. YouTube type: "occupy folk song" after Tony Benn's historic speech sums up a lot, public use of this folk song "if you're brainy" ...is called for and its copyright free for the Occupy cause

Why will there be no techno-fix? Becuase soon, key resources that are needed to build many of out most advanced technolgies will have been depleated. Economic meltdown due to declining oil supplies (in the next few years) will not leave room for us to create a Venus Project or Zeitgeisty world.

The only viable long term solution, the one that will allow us to live indefinitely on Earth, is to return to a lifestyle that is low impact and in tune with nature. Permaculture living, for example. There will be no techno-fix where we live with science fiction like technology espoused by the Zeitgeist movement and the Venus Project.

Furthermore, do they have a course of action that can be implemented and integrated into society to help us mitigate the coming crises of peak oil or the end of cheap fossil fuels, economic meltdown, and the depletion of many other key resources like clean and available drinking water, arable top soil, and other minerals? No! No one does. There are just to many of us because oil allowed our numbers to proliferate beyond a healthy level. Its called over-shoot.

[ammachi3]

Do they have a better plan of action, and the current trajectory? Perhaps they do. But can you replace the current economic trajectory? No. It has so many huge forces keeping it in place and the sheer momentum of it will not be easily quelled.

[ammachi3]

What doe they really hope to achieve by protesting? They will never in a million, billion, trillion years, create a more equitable and just world through revolution - from the top down, by trying to topple those that have the economic and political power. Has that ever happened? No! It takes time to create a more just and fairer society. In a word…evolution.

@pooth27 where i live is slightly different of course, we just simply afford that stuff with support of the state, a government from the people, with the people and for the people, a 1 % is always going to want to over throw that of course, but it satisfies the popular needs of the 80% , Thought, its fundamental to become independent from international banks to achieve this. ditch the transnationals mate, don't let the transnationals live from you!; corporations are behind everything!

It's like all the most annoying people at a festival, minus the grass.

@DEMOSxKRATOS Yes! Have you heard of Mathematically Perfected Economy (Mike Montagne)? I have just come across it - no banks, no interest and a People's Monetary Foundry managing accounts. It creates 'promises to pay' contracts issuing money on demand for those who need to buy a house or start/run a business with 'paying it back' calculated on a rate of depreciation i.e. a house worth £100k with a 100yr lifespan £83 p.m. - easy to afford. No interest in the economy = 60% more in pocket.
