Occupying World Psychosis
In my refresher studies regarding the roots of property rights, I've rediscovered the origin of religion, which is "the worship of the dead." All cultures have developed special rituals and celebratory events over time that surround life (birth), (birthdays), marriage or mergers and death (death). It makes sense only because most of us create close connections with people, places or things and experience a sense of loss when that relationship looks to be diminishing or is about to die.

Hemp. Hemp hemp. Hempitty hempty hemp hemp hemp. HEEEEEEEEEMMMP!!!!!HEMP!!! Hemp.... So I watched a movie online the other day from like 1994 titled "The Hemp Revolution" and when it was over I actually threw up in my mouth a little bit (okay that's a lie )... Ironically, I put this movie on to act as ambient noise while I sat in a chair and recycled old mail which I had never even opened.... This movie is a real think piece.

The Abstraction

Money is nothing more than a term which represents an abstract form of exchange of labour for purchasing power. This article will not investigate interest, loans, debt or the creation of money.
For in reality money could be gold, silver, match sticks or pine nuts. Here we will concentrate on the direct result of defining a value to labour to use in exchange for purchasing power.

While it may be offered that the abstraction (money) simply allows for delayed trade to take place, such as;
Human x has some chocolate.

New Zealand, the New Playground for Texas and Canadian Oil Companies

The '100 percent Pure' image of New Zealand is going to be lost due to the re-elected New Zealand Government that is selling out to multi-billion dollar oil Corporations (Apache, Texas and Tag Oil, Canada) who are spending millions in their efforts to find oil and gas in New Zealand…why? For no more than a 5 percent royalty and taxes to fund the Government's coffers, that’s why.
