Why does the current banking system have a monopoly on the digital monetary system? Or can we just use leaves or rocks or gold coins as a medium for exchange? We are watching the grasping at straws portion of the ultimate ponzi game. The next two years can be considered high theatre as we go through the charade of electing a god/king one more time. Who says the decider is going to voluntarily give up the reigns anyway? By the end of the race - there should be no value to the dollar, and some sort of global currency will be proposed. So why not use von Nothaus' coin as tender and start minting money on a community basis.
Carbon Banking is a new derivative fiction based on the current monetary system. The scheme (CCX) seems to shuffle offsets between businesses and opportunists without having the on-the-ground mitigation take place in a meaningful manner. The drive to bio-fuels is like changing deck chairs on the titanic - the form of carbon is irrellevant. Carbon dioxide is not even a key factor - it is only an indicator and a poor one at that. Water vapor, cosmic rays, sunspots and volcanos all play key roles. I'd like the ability to tear into the intellectually protected climate models to see what factors have which weight.
In chemical science, we play with simpler models. The ability to do the complex requires the skill to string together several forms of the simple in such a manner that the package becomes novel. You don't need to reinvent the wheel each time out, just make an improvement in a process that enables less net energy to be used to generate more net benefit - no matter what the measurement. If i theorize biochemical copper (I) ion, then i need to make a cage that will stabilize this form in preference to the copper (II) ion. It does not have to be biochemically functional in a living system to demonstrate proof of concept.
Today's justifications attend to all the wrong memes - people become confused and conflicted and hence shut down. The monetary system used to make some sense, but Aaron Russo's From Freedom to Fascism has burst that bubble of monetary policy to smithereens. Liberty dollars may be a means for getting new ideas across - watching the behavior on this particular case could allow pulse monitoring of the rate of chaos approaching. If they really come down hard on von Nothaus, then the issue must be real important to them to maintain their illusion. Cui bono?

You've just given me a good business
idea for The Coming Dark Age:
A local hard money mint.
There are several alternative currencies to FRNs around, but most of them are local (I think the best known is XX dollars, where "XX" stands for the name of some NY town which I'm currently unable to recall) and so not as much of a threat to the feds as Liberty Dollars.
I've met Bernard in person, and wish him well in his fight against the feds. It ain't gonna be easy.
