Liberty and freedom are often used to mean the same thing. The ability to choose for One's Self how One spends One's time/energy. Both presume the three Laws are binding principles, and Individuals presume other "laws" as well (really all beyond the three are statutes, acts, bills, codes, rules, regulations, edicts, mandates, ordinances, and so on).
The difference is that "liberty" is what a ship's captain gives to His/Her crew, while "freedom" means there is no Other that One must satisfy against One's choice. One does not have time run out and have to return to duty.
So We may ask who gave the U.S. "liberty?" Who sold Us "liberty" as "freedom?" When does this "liberty" run out? Who do We report to? Do We even have freedom? Do We give lip service to freedom, but want to have someOne We can give up Our freedom to for the "safety" of the "ship?" What would freedom ringing look like (to mix it up a bit)?
Looking around, I think it is safe to say that freedom is rare and only afforded fully by money. Virtually all of Us must find some way to input Our energy so as to have liberty to enjoy any freedom We can afford. We must go to work, We must choose from a wide array of less than enticing ways to plug Our energy in so as to afford, not freedom, but merely what We need to survive.
Does this sound like freedom for all at all? Sadly, We are a country – and even a planet – of "consensual" ship conscripts – Our consent given on pain of death, from starvation, exposure. Our "liberty" is rare. Our freedom, nil.
If freedom was ringing, We all would have the choice of how We spend Our time. All of it. Not just what time We have around Our job, not just in ways We can manage to afford. Within the three Laws.
I cannot see any reasonable Human thinking it's a good idea to break the three Laws, and in most cases where the Laws are broken money is motive; the power over Others money affords is involved.
What percentage of hurting/killing anOther is done for money? War surely is 100% for profit. It is incited through pretense: false flags, psyops, yellow journalism, rumor; and then weaponry, ordinance, and so forth is sold to both sides by the same interests. The war industry is always the only winner. The thug hurting or killing to rob is choosing that behavior purely for monetary gain. The murders of those who threaten profits... I'm going to say that except for jealous lovers and the psychopathic lust for pain/blood from anOther, virtually all such behavior choices have money as a motivation.
The first Law: Do not willfully hurt or kill anOther... If none of Us had to worry about, and in fact had Our choice of, what food We might eat, what place We lived in, what project, with Betterment Ethic in mind, We might choose to do, how much deliberate hurting or killing of One anOther do You think We would see? More or less than We see now?
The second Law: Do not willfully take or damage the property of anOther... If the abundance of the planet was flowing to all of Us freely, and We had all the basics available for all, and did things for Others – performed a concert, painted a picture, built a rocking chair, took Others along fishing, got with a group that was working on archaeology, laughed with and shared with the People We love, how much stealing, destruction, would We see? More or less than We see now?
The third Law: Do not willfully defraud anOther... Except in Human social interaction, where lovers lie – which cannot be solved for – again, virtually all defrauding is for a monetary gain, a power gain. Without a psychopath's pyramid to climb – the money game, the power game – how much defrauding do You think We would see? More or less than We see now?
Getting back to liberty and freedom, don't You think freedom would prevail for all of Us if We removed the need for money? Wouldn't it then follow that the call to let freedom ring is best served by spreading awareness that We just now, in the history of Our planet (as taught in the schools), have the means to eliminate the need for money? Wouldn't that truly be...the American Way?
We can eliminate "liberty" in favor of freedom, the freedom to show Our worth or choose worthlessness. The freedom to find Our gifts and develop them rather than be forced into "reality" and a job that consists of asking Others if They want fries or not. The freedom to learn as fascinates Us, rather than rote and rot. The freedom to spend Our time as We choose.
What are these means, these tools, that We just now have?
In four short articles is explained not only what these tools are, but how We can use them.

Nice post once again Amy.
I've often herard it said that our money system should work, provided its used correctly.
I quite like the idea of a note/coin I can use - I.e, If I mopped someone's floors, they don't need to cough up what I wanted in return straight away, but they can give me my earned 'coupon', money' 'whatever'.. In order for me to use elsewhere..
Thats all fine and dandy.
It's once the standard is removed from currency and corruption steeps in.
Obviously the Fed, and our English Inland Revenue are rollocks from the 'get-go'.
I tend to agree with rdunk in the sense that your Abundance is just not realistic.
How about channeling your energies into the Green currency - or what ever JKF was going to do.. you know the thing I mean..
Amy, just so you would know, I won't be making any future replies to the Abundance Paradigm stuff, as I am changing my settings to "ignore" for that board. That is a subject that I am really tired of hearing about. Such will also negate any need for your having to reply back, so we both gain!
We can continue to converse on the many other subjects here, if you can speak to other than TAP issues! :))

Certainly any tool, if used correctly, will do the job it is designed for. But just as hammers can be used to bash brains out, so can the tool of money. ANY money. And the problem is that, unlike a hammer, the tool promotes its misuse. And the most ruthless will end up with a virtual monopoly of the tool, allowing Them to bash away at the rest of Us toolless People. The love of the tool and its power grows as long as that tool is functional.

Shift paradigms. The floor will be mopped by a robot...unless You really WANT to mop the floor - because it adds to happiness (betterment) in You or the Person whose floor it is that You are mopping. If You write a book, You will offer it and be honored when Others read and discuss it. If You want something, You can order all basics (high quality, organic...) from the robots for free, and ask Others if They create things You want. They will give You Their work for the pleasure of seeing Your pleasure in what They produce. They don't need money to keep food on the table or a comfortable home, so wanting money would be pointless.
QuoteThats all fine and dandy.
It's once the standard is removed from currency and corruption steeps in.
And the "standard" will ALWAYS be perverted by the ruthless (psychopathic). They will always find ways to control lives through the grabbing of the tool.
QuoteObviously the Fed, and our English Inland Revenue are rollocks from the 'get-go'.
I tend to agree with rdunk in the sense that your Abundance is just not realistic.
Why? If We all had the idea in mind, why couldn't We choose to go that route? No, if We are for the most part stuck in the scarcity paradigm, We will not move towards better. If, on the other hand, We are thinking of it, and each does what They can to move in that direction, We will go there.
QuoteHow about channeling your energies into the Green currency - or what ever JKF was going to do.. you know the thing I mean..
I do know. I will NOT support one brand of tool for another. If We had a reset - everyOne on the planet had identical money, all worth the same, at some point the ruthless (psychopathic, "satanic") will have virtually all of it and the rest will be wage/debt slaves. Wars will be incited for profit, toxins sold as "medicine," "laws" passed that make it easy to fill prisons with slave labor, cures suppressed, unnecessary surgeries pushed so "doctors" can make money, toxic waste sold as "healthful," food patented, water collection made illegal, carbon tax on the air We breathe, Agenda 21, Codex Alimentarius, chemtrails, and all the other ills I would solve for.
Just sayin'.

Make a deal with Ya, rdunk. You don't mention TAP in any way, and I will not respond.
As for ignoring My posts... [shrug] Your loss. My opinion.
You raise a good point about that 'standard'
I suppose we would need an honest independant body to monitor and regulate it, the alternative is a completely different sysem, such as yours.
Nope, I hate moping - don't mind hoovering tho! ;)
How would foreign investment occur under Abundance?
And I know Amy, the wrld could do A LOT if everybody had the same idea.
Problem is, we cant even get the whole world to trash their governments, let alone their currency..
And that, I suspect, is your main barrier to success in regards to Abundance.

And how can We ensure this "honesty?" With bribes of money and power, threats of blackmail and bodily injury, I say We cannot. Many an honest effort has been made in many an arena, only to be subverted and taken over to Our detriment.
QuoteHow would foreign investment occur under Abundance?
No "foreign investment..." If People somewhere on the planet need help the word will get out and spread. All who care can PERSONALLY offer help, if They are inclined. TAP is planetary. No way to contain it to one place.

QuoteProblem is, we cant even get the whole world to trash their governments, let alone their currency..
Just add free energy, work to replace all non-free sources, add robots where no One wants to do a necessary job (did You know that at least 85% of all jobs are there to support the system of money? Banking, insurance, accounting, advertising, sales, cashiering, lobbying, lawyering). We can't get these People to do such things because They don't KNOW there is an alternate paradigm, a way to do things without some kind of money, without accounting for Our meaningful energy expended. Spread the word.
QuoteAnd that, I suspect, is your main barrier to success in regards to Abundance.
My major barrier is that it is difficult to reach large numbers of People. I keep plodding away, and hoping for 100 People as dedicated as I am to spreading awareness.
Not reading all of this,,,just passing thru...

'Foreign investment' would work like this;
China: 'we have plenty of iron'
Russia; 'We have plenty of Aluminium'
Europe; 'we have plenty of food'
So, you need food, we need iron. 8)
Let's just share it all equally, so that each nation has enough of what it needs.
Shortages are caused by peeps (nations, companies) HOARDING stuff, in order to run up the price, for profit, duh! ???
Jeez,
it's that simple, and that's just the interim 'barter' phase.
Eventually that will go, every person has rights to each & every mineral on this,
and every other planet.
Simple :D
And thus My efforts to spread awareness. The greater the number thinking about it, the more likely the whole will begin to shift.
well sadly Amy .. your efforts annoy more than get them thinking about it
the shift is no one wants to hear your stuff anymore
being without money ..as you are .. i'm sure it's nice to think that if everyone else was in your boat things would change..
and yes they would.. instead of money there would be slave labor for those who could MAKE others do things...or worst..
your dream of fantasy land is just that..your dream
But extravting Iron would cost more labour than say, growing corn...
Meaning measures still need to be in place..
Meaning thinhgs still need value..
Meaning we'd be replacing one system with another..
How would keep keep corruption out of Abundance?
I think if Amy's work annoys you its time to re-evalute your emotional investments..
Go be annoyed at Bush..

No, not really PMSey! Just tired of seeing the same things being said about this subject, and tired of feeling the need to make the same replies on this board. If such is mentioned on the open boards, I will take the usual exceptions by reply, because "IT AIN'T NEVER GONNA HAPPEN", at least on any type of large basis! And, there are many specific important issues that do need to be summarily addressed, and IMO, to CONTINUE to talk about TAP detracts from these.

Robots will (eventually) become available, freeley, worldwide.
So it's not even a question of labour.
Even right now, they have to pay me 3 grand a month to even go LOOK at a mine, yet the peeps who work there have never seen so much money.
Why should I be a member of the 'elite'?
Because i know more?
That, in itself, is WRONG, i am only going to TRY to use my status to build on the TAP paradigm that Amy laid out.
You may have guessed by now that 1) Amy & me go way back, and 2) that i support her aim entirely, even if we both disagree about the
timeline, we both agree that this
shit shift
needs to happenOtherwise we will never break free of this vicious circle, and the whole fake ideaology of 'ownership'
What do you own, really?
Your body & soul is all, and even then some nut with a knife could take that from you tomorrow. Cherish it, every second, is my advice.

In fact, maybe You should do so rather than posting in My section that You are sick of it. It would work best for both of Us.

i won't be irritated and you won't have to defend your fantasy

done
I'm retired from the world
All I want to do is find a way outa here and not come back. Greed seems to be the one vice so many dream of and with profit driven greed comes power and with that sick power comes avarice. Avarice is what we see operating today with corporations and men wanting it all and they will take whats yours for them to claim, as their power, over you.
The American dream died when they killed Kennedy and began taking liberty from the sleeping citizens of America.
I agree Sky; i just want what is best for the peeps of the world.
I can also see that there are leaders & followers in this world, and, before i go to sleep, will say this;
Go for it! Your vision is worth more than some people's dreams!I will leave you to figure that one out, i'm out of here.... :P

I see your point. I'm personally more fond of proving some sort of mass coverup in regards the UFO phenomena and our secret tech. I have chose this avenue due to external influences (my UFO sightings), and internal influences (my reality shift)..
Once you experience something reality changing, its hard not to persue and expose the matter.
The fact is, even if just *one* UFO turned out to be our anti-grav that means the goverments been feeding us fodder, and if just *one* UFO turned out to be intersteller, that means we're not alone, and if just *one* UFO was seen to be flying around looking like an aeroplane, that means we can't even trust anything that we thought we knew or saw..
Mind blowing stuff really.. But then, existance does have that effect.
That's what I deem important study, the root of our reality.
In my opinion Amy is trying to treat a symptom, and not the cause.
It is my belief that only when people snap out of their false understanding of reality, will all the walls fall.
Just as Reagan supposed, if an alien force were to invade us, would we not unite? .. And yet isn't there already an alien force among us?
So, to conclude, everybody's avenues should be presented, explored, examined, discussed, and challenged..
Heck, there's enough floating rocks and naked chicks on this forum.. I'm sure we can cope with Amy's project.
i have observed that the democrat vs. republican thing was also manifesting in the ufo community. the democrats were pretending they knew nothing and that the repubs were evil nazis behind the coverup. meanwhile almost half of nasa are democrats and rothschilds are just as much supporters of socialism/communism as they are of fascism. any kind of -ism that deprives people of personal freedoms and allows the gov - et.al the banking cartels and their associated corporations- to take everyone's money.
for example, during occupy wall street, the protest headquarters was in the lobby of the deutsch bank. and george soros was tied into the whole thing.
Sinny, I am with you on that. We definitely "are not alone" in this universe. I have numerous undeniable photo proofs of such, regardless of what the skeptics say - some I have posted and some of my best I have not. One I have posted is even a humanoid reptilian, on Mars. Several really good anomalies are in the Mars Anomalies forum, if you haven't had time to look through that history yet.
It is a little funny here, the more of an "anomaly" the anomaly is, the less interest there seems to be here. Post a rock that looks a little like something, it can go for pages of interest. Post an obvious metallic sphere with circular looking windows, and there will not be much interest. ???

The cause of poverty, oppression, wage/debt slavery and profiteering is the requirement to exchange One's energy to survive. To input One's energy to the system of money. I can hardly see eliminating the cause of these things as treating a symptom.

No... I have no issue with People coming in and pointing to issues They see with TAP. What I DO object to is starting a thread in My section on TAP and having People come in and tell Me They are sick of Me bringing up the topic.
But if You want to see Your behavior as merely disagreeing with TAP and not being rude to Me... Claim I only want People who agree...and then block the TAP section. For real.

And just with the 'gun' issue, you can take the gun away, but not the homocidal tendancies.

While it is true that removing the gun does not remove the tendencies, it leaves the perp both vulnerable to being confined, and unable to use the gun. And the metaphor is not complete. The gun does not PROMOTE homicidal tendencies. Money DOES promote bad use of the tool - to Those susceptible to it lure (which, sadly, are many, mainly for the reason that We are inculcated to believe "success" means lots of money).
So... The cause is the inherent advantage over Others, built into a tool that is required for survival, to Those who would seek advantages over Others, and especially in the ruthless (psychopathic).
Remove the NEED for the tool and there is no more inherent advantage over Others.

You are right. I used "the American way" because:
1. I live here
2. Here is where the call for "freedom for all" is loudest on the planet
3. Interweb use is nearly 100% here in the States
I included the planet in the line, "We are a country – and even a planet – of "consensual" ship conscripts..." The push needs to start somewhere and why not in a country that wants freedom and calls for it most loudly?

Well as I see it the issue is simple...
1) We DO NOT yet have TAP
2) We have no set date when TAP will be reality
So in the meantime... Many of us still have to live in the CURRENT paradigm. And that means we have two options...
1) Ignore the tool called "money" and live in poverty and misery and always have to rely on others be it friends, government welfare, etc
2) Learn how to USE the tool called "money" wisely so you can live comfortably in THIS paradigm and maybe have enough left over to help others get by
Me personally I chose Number TWO! I try to teach people how to use #2. One can buy a gun for protection
or use it to hunt food (still allowed in most countries and ALL the states)
The vast majority of privately owned guns are never used beyond those purposes. You only hear abut the few that make the news when a psycopath goes wild.
Same with money... WHY would you choose to live in poverty when you can be comfortable and help others?
You want to promote an agenda like TAP? It is a LOT easier to do when you can spend some money on promotional material.
Example If you had 10,000.00 you could publish that book and hand it out free :D
But I know my words fall on mostly deaf ears on this point :P

I opt for number two, too. Now if I can find something worth $30,000 in My meager belongings (My diamond ring I spent $200 in a 90% off going-out-of-business sale in the 1970's was appraised at $178 in today's money) to put up on ebay I may have the chance to fix My finances.
I could then publish the book and hand it out.
I think you should be working on tap 2.0
Im sure we could help.with ideas once you got the ball rolling.one book does not a writer usually make.or pick another topic.as you become famous as a writer.even tap one will sell off the shelves.
Imho.

Well as I see it the issue is simple...
1) We DO NOT yet have TAP
2) We have no set date when TAP will be reality
So in the meantime... Many of us still have to live in the CURRENT paradigm. And that means we have two options...
1) Ignore the tool called "money" and live in poverty and misery and always have to rely on others be it friends, government welfare, etc
2) Learn how to USE the tool called "money" wisely so you can live comfortably in THIS paradigm and maybe have enough left over to help others get by
Me personally I chose Number TWO! I try to teach people how to use #2. One can buy a gun for protection
or use it to hunt food (still allowed in most countries and ALL the states)
The vast majority of privately owned guns are never used beyond those purposes. You only hear abut the few that make the news when a psycopath goes wild.
Same with money... WHY would you choose to live in poverty when you can be comfortable and help others?
You want to promote an agenda like TAP? It is a LOT easier to do when you can spend some money on promotional material.
Example If you had 10,000.00 you could publish that book and hand it out free :D
But I know my words fall on mostly deaf ears on this point :P
8)
Well that should and does get gold from any bodies money.
