UBUNTU Contributionism

A BLUEPRINT FOR A NEW SOCIAL STRUCTURE

A WORLD WITHOUT MONEY

UBUNTU – Contribution System

(The Natural Order of Things)

	Let each citizen contribute their natural talents or acquired skills to the greater benefit of all in the community.
	— Michael Tellinger

To convey the message of a whole new philosophy about a world without money is a complex task. Some people get it immediately, within seconds, while some take a little longer to digest the information and work it out for themselves, and then there are those who fundamentally struggle with the concept and really fight it with their accumulated knowledge, using their reason and logic to argue that it is NOT possible for humanity to live without money.

Let me remind you that in science and the field of consciousness, change is the only constant and everything is possible. What I urge you to do, is to clear your mind completely of any preconceived ideas and acquired knowledge, and keep this infinitely powerful mind of yours absolutely open to any new information. Even if the information may sound unreasonable or unrealistic or simply crazy – keep your mind open and let the information wash over you without trying to analyze it. Having an open mind is like being pregnant. You cannot be half pregnant – so you either have an open mind or you don’t.

In areas of research and true learning, this is a very important part of growth and realisation. We have to let go of the ego, and all other hurdles that will prevent us from acquiring new knowledge. I have had to learn this the hard way just like millions of others, often allowing my ego to reason away some of the most important findings in my research and path to enlightenment.

This is a very important point that I need to stress. A move towards a world without money is a giant step towards higher consciousness and a highway to enlightenment. UBUNTU Contributionism is a system for a new world of evolved and conscious beings that realise the importance of unity and equality. Because we are a deeply divided species, on every possible level, there is no unity and equality present on our planet. We need to re-learn the basic principles of unity and equality – which will be difficult for many, based on the gluttony and greed that has taken a firm hold of the world disguised in many cloaks of glitter.

It has taken me more than six years to be brave enough to share this information with others, because it is very easy for others to shoot me down without my complete and firm understanding of the detailed workings of a money-less society. I have faced the angry onslaught of many in an attempt trying to protect what they call “everything I have worked for all my life”. I am sure you can see the irony in that statement and the recognition that we are a product of a system designed to make us addicted to stuff, and the accumulation of stuff, believing in some twisted way that the more we have when we die, the more successful we have been.

As we progress with this introduction, you will see how the UBUNTU Contribution system provides everything to everyone at all times. Once again I remind you that this is not a crazy utopian dream, but rather the natural order of things that we have been denied. There is no need to accumulate or hoard stuff and no need to plan for old age. All such notions and patterns of behaviour are clear symptoms of an enslaved society, ignorant of their slave species status.

On this path, I had to analyse every aspect of society, how it has functioned in the past, and how it works today. I had to figure out how the complex human puzzle will function without money in the future. How each and every area of our lives will be affected for the better, and how we will adapt to it. What you will find just like I did, is that it is a beautiful journey of discovery when you start to unravel the complex structures of global economics that are understood by very few, and replace them by the simplest and effective ways that I have called “the natural order of things.”

I do need to remind you that there is a natural order of things in the universe. We observe this order as we gaze into the night sky and marvel at the size and beauty of distant galaxies and nebulae. The universe around us is spectacular in its beauty, infinite in abundance of divine creation – and it all functions without money.

The global movements like Occupy Wall Street have brought to our attention that the 99% of the people are waking up to the gross inequality among the people of our planet and the massive abuse that we have endured under those who control the supply of money.

Thomas Jefferson, one of the founding fathers of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA made the following statement circa 1780:

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.

This day has come.

It is now very clear that the global bankers and those who control the supply and flow of money are in control of our planet and have been for a long, long time. How and why this has happened is a fascinating tale of unimaginable exposure that takes us back thousands of years to the Sumerian civilisation and the creation of the first money in the form of clay tablets. I cover much of this in my research and presentations for those who are interested.

Money did not evolve as a beneficial tool for humans, on some kind of a natural evolutionary path that brought us here. That is the disinformation we have been force-fed by the government-sponsored education systems, set up to keep us ‘dumbed down’. The reality is far more sinister, and therefore more unbelievable to many.

Money was maliciously introduced thousands of years ago as a tool of enslavement by the royal political bloodline of high priests and kings that still rule the world today, and still control the supply of money. This group of faceless controllers belong to highly secret societies, sometimes called the Illuminati and other names. They are real, and they control pretty much everything on this planet... for now.

On the 27th of April 1961 United States President, John F. Kennedy delivered a speech which referred to the secret dealings of societies and corporations, which included the Federal Reserve System and their banking subsidiaries. This is what he had to say.

	The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people, inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings... Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumour is printed, no secret is revealed.
	— John F. Kennedy

Many people are of the opinion that this was inevitably the speech that got Kennedy assassinated. In essence, he was blowing the whistle on this secretive group of bankers and controllers of humanity, when he realised that he was not really in charge of the path to prosperity of the American people, but that this small group of powerful individuals were in absolute control.

The producers of the documentary “Zeitgeist”, made it clear that to keep people enslaved physically, you have to house them, feed them and clothe them. Through the introduction of money as a tool of enslavement, people need to work for money; but in the process they have to feed, clothe and house themselves. What a brilliant and simple twist in the clever enslavement of humanity – with money!

Secret societies of a chosen few have been playing games with humanity forever. Many ancient texts, including the Bible, are full of this information, but we have been too arrogant and ignorant to recognise it. The Tower Of Babel incident in the Bible is just one example of the attempt to keep humanity divided and at war with each other. It was very successful.

The sooner we come to terms with this historic fact, the easier it will be for us to discard money and revert back to the natural order of things, and enjoy the abundance of all things that the universe and our planet provide.

The money-less UBUNTU-style system I am referring to, which is an adaptation of ancient African customs, is not based on barter or trade. This is often the mistake that many have made in the past. This is also the reason why all previous socio-economic policies have failed. Barter and trading is just another form of money and he who has more to trade will eventually want to rule the roost.

I found that often it is those who are more educated and have risen to high levels of respect through their higher ‘education’, discard this information out of hand. They feel that because of their level of education, it is impossible to have kept such information hidden from them, and that they are too smart for anyone to pull the wool over their eyes.

These highly-trained and educated individuals have become the most vicious protectors of their slave masters, the bankers and their governments, that have cunningly conned them into the false sense of superiority, believing they are defending their freedoms and privileges in a free society – a society where those who are smarter will succeed. At this stage it is also important to remind you that “there are none more enslaved, than those who believe they are free”[2]. And this my fellow humans, is the predominant case in the world today.

Democracy is another sugar-coated poison pill we have been choking on for too long. Democracy has been sold to us the ultimate rights of individuals and that the choice of the majority has to be implemented. Once you really think about this, you will realise that democracy is nothing else than a bullying tactic. The democratic process can be manipulated, and has very successfully been manipulated by those who control money. It has been said that US presidents are not elected, but rather selected, by those faceless money makers.

There is constant talk of “debt” and “injecting more money into the economy” and every country in the world owes some other country money. The banks keep getting bailed out by some magical stroke of the government’s wand, and the Reserve Banks “inject more funds” or they “release more money” to the various banks and economies to bail them out. With every new “injection of money” the people become more indebted and more enslaved. There is no way out of this mess.

What we need to ask is – to whom do we owe all this money?

Whom does Greece and Italy and Spain and Ireland and all other countries owe all this money to? Who has the exclusive power and authority to just keep printing more money, creating money out of thin air, and enslaving all countries and their people? The answer is cold and sobering and I hope it will wake up all those who still believe in a fairy-tale ending to this global economic mess.

We owe all this imaginary money to the same group of untouchable elites, in the secret societies that JFK was referring to, who have claimed the right to print money, and written these rights into law to protect themselves. They control political and economic policy of governments and therefore own all of us, as their ignorant slaves, to keep working for the (less than) 1% of the world’s elite. These are the royal political bloodlines who remain faceless and who continue to control the supply of money and the absolute enslavement of the human race.

This is the point where many newcomers to this information will have to keep an open mind on the path to enlightenment, because this is NOT what we have been taught, and it is indeed a tough pill to swallow for all those who believed that the government was their friend, doing the best they can for us. And especially those ‘educated’ members of society who still believe that they are too smart for someone to have deceived them so monumentally.

Since the governments are supposed to be the servants of the people, they should consult the people about what to do. Let’s face it: the answers to the problems are actually very simple. Just ask a bunch of junior school kids to get some hard-hitting and sobering answers. The people know exactly what they need, but there seems to be no government in the world that is listening.

The largest majority of the nearly 7 billion people in the world live in misery. They hate their lives, their jobs, their bosses; the fact that they have to get up early on cold and rainy days, to catch a train, or bus, or ride a bicycle in the rain, to a job they despise, just so that they can earn some money.

Money to buy bread and milk and pay rent, or the mortgage, and pay for electricity and pay the phone bill and pay the groceries and pay for virtually everything that crosses our path or that we need in our lives. But most of us never really make enough money to live a fulfilled life, because other than air, virtually everything else has a price on it, in some twisted way. How did this happen?

On this long and convoluted path of deception about money, we have become well-trained soldiers marching to the rhythm of the beat of the invisible whip, of the money makers. We have slowly been fed statements like “money makes the world go round” and “if you work hard, you will make it to the top”, and “the money buys the whiskey’... without questioning it for so long.

The truth is that the world goes around all by itself; and when you get to the top, it’s never quite enough; and while at present it may be the money that buys the whiskey, it is people who make the whiskey, and therefore it should be the people, and not the money, who decide who and how the whiskey is consumed.

Through subtle indoctrination, money has become the life-blood of the human psyche. But in fact it is more like a drug, because most of us believe that we cannot survive without money. Well, nothing can be further from the truth. Everything around us exists in abundance and functions without money. We are the only species known to us that has adopted this thing called "money."

So what do we need to survive? We need water, food, shelter, love, health, education, knowhow, technology, art, culture, friends, clothes, tables, chairs, light, energy, heat, transport, agriculture, and all the other things we use in our daily activity. We do NOT need money – all of these things can be available to us without money.

Millions of people around the world create millions of things every day, that fill the shelves of supermarkets. Millions of farmers around the world produce millions of tons of food every month. But instead of the food and other necessities reaching the people, it gets discarded and dumped, while millions die of starvation for the simple reason that they do not have money. This is the most evil kind of enslavement that anyone could have concocted.

But the control of the enslaved species called humanity does not end with the control of money. The supply of food has been the holy grail of the controllers for several decades. As long as companies like Monsanto continue being given the freedom to mess with nature and create invasive, genetically-modified food species, the farmers will rapidly lose their ability to grow organic natural food and will have to resort to becoming the slaves of Monsanto and their faceless owners. Food will fall completely under the control of the same small minority of controllers.

Many goodhearted, law abiding citizens are unaware that this maliciously-planned control of food supply is at an advanced stage. It is the most important thing we must guard against with every resource we have. These agendas are not new to many who have been researching it for a long time, but until now, many of the vigilant visionaries who predicted this a long time ago, have been called 'conspiracy theorists' and other derogatory names by the masses who thought that they were too smart for anyone to pull the wool over their eyes.

With the imminent collapse of the financial industries, all of these so-called conspiracies are being blatantly exposed for all to see. The time for us to wake up is here. The controlled media will not really cover the full extent of the march on Wall Street and many other economic centres of the world, but they will continue to sow dissent among people, trying to keep us divided.

One of the other major tools of control is energy. This covers the supply of electricity, oil and gas, among others. The development of free-energy has probably been one the best guarded secrets for the past 120 years. There have been hundreds - if not thousands - of new-energy, and free-energy devices discovered. One of the best examples of such discovery is Nikola Tesla, who gave the world free energy around 1902, when he built his Tesla Tower at Wardencliffe on Long Island, NY, and sent free energy to light up thousands of homes and even a car, without wires and without any payment.

But every time any scientist or ordinary person reveals such discoveries, they are either silenced with money; or they mysteriously die, disappear, or they are ridiculed into obscurity by the well-orchestrated disinformation campaigns by the oil and energy giants. Those who control the supply of energy cannot allow free-energy devices to become a reality, and they have all the legal and military power to enforce their control.

I know that there are still the uninformed skeptics who cannot wrap their heads around the concept of free energy. They keep arguing in support of the controllers, saying things like: “it is expensive to generate electricity”. To those I say: please inform yourself, take a science or physics class, scratch around the internet, and you will discover the greatest cover-up imaginable.

In physics class, they teach us that the universe is one giant ball of energy which cannot be destroyed. It can be converted from one kind of energy to another, infinitely. Nature does it very successfully all around us. So, ask yourself: why are we paying for it?

Because it’s all about money. The controllers will not let go of the control of energy until they are forced to. But how can we get the powerful, faceless controllers of money and energy to release their grip on humanity?

The answer is simple – remove their tool of enslavement. Remove money from society.

This simple step is the fastest and most effective way to immediately break the stranglehold of the bankers and their sidekicks like the energy companies. If they cannot make money through their corporations, they cannot control the supply. Unless, of course, the government declares martial law and there is a military-enforced takeover, in which case it will make the government the enemy of the people and the outcome of these situations is inevitable, as we have seen in the past 150 years.

Here are some hints and examples to look for in the search of free energy. Cars can run on water, hydrogen, oxygen and electric or magnetic energy. Salt water burns when exposed to a certain radio frequency. Water can be instantly boiled with sound frequency; and the ancient ruins in South Africa are still active with unimaginably high levels of sound and electromagnetic frequencies, giving us endless amounts of free energy, even after thousands of years of ruin.

Universally, free energy is an aspect of the divine consciousness of the infinite source of all. It is there for us to use as we grow in consciousness, enlightenment and wisdom towards a world in unity.

But today, the reality is that billions of people live in poverty and a strange kind of quiet desperation, waiting for some kind of miracle to deliver them from the harsh economic times. They dream of fame and fortune, which can be seen in the endless number of television shows offering exactly that. People everywhere are looking for any kind of salvation or relief to their own personal suffering. But because of the mass ignorance of what is really going on and why it is happening, most people don’t really know where to turn or what to do. Most believe that there is no happy ending.

This document presents the world with the opportunity to embrace a really happy ending, with unimaginable prosperity for all its inhabitants, in perfect harmony will all of nature and Mother Earth.

But for now, there is constant talk about stimulating the economy, capital injection, job creation, stabilising business growth, increasing international trade and other such failed actions of the past that have landed us in this mess in the first place. None of what the governments and bankers are proposing are solutions for the people. They are solutions and further acts of enrichment for the banks and their owners. Governments - who are supposed to serve their people - treat them like disposable commodities.

The Wall Street protest is a clear sign that the people have had enough. Especially the youth, who are waking up to the fact that the government has stolen their country, and made them their slaves. The signs are everywhere... the global economic system is on the verge of collapse. How long before it falls is not clear. But we need to be wide awake and think ahead and we have to be realistic about this.

What will we do as a species when it all falls down and there is no money to buy stuff?

We have to realise that money is, and has been, the hurdle to all progress. It has caused unimaginable hardship and suffering among humans all over the world and continues to do so now more than ever before. Money is the overwhelming reason for most crimes committed, corruption, extortion and most other social diseases we have developed. Money tears families apart and causes brilliant people to commit suicide. It is not only the tool that enslaves us, but it has also become the cancer of society.

Every socio-political system we have ever had as the human race has failed us dramatically – not because of incompetent people, but because of money. Some people jump to the conclusion by saying that Contributionism is just another form of communism or socialism. Those assumptions are absolutely wrong. Every system we have had was always based on money - including communism. And any system that uses money, barter or trade, will remain a failed system of enslavement and we as the majority of this planet have to move beyond it.

So now that we know what the cause of our misery is, what will we do about it? There is only one way out of our enslavement, and move to a world of absolute equality, unity and abundance for all, on every level of life.

A WORLD WITHOUT MONEY

As unimaginable as it may be for some, you will soon see how liberating it is when you embrace this simple philosophy or the “natural order of things” and imagine the possibilities: a system where people contribute to the greater benefit of all in their community, locally and globally, rather than chasing money to buy bread, where they can follow their natural talents or acquired skills and love every moment of every day, living a fulfilled life. Whether they are farmers, scientists, shoemakers, civil engineers, or anything else they choose, the positive energy generated by these conditions is unimaginable to us at present.

They say that history has taught us nothing. Well, this is the time when we finally have to learn from history and choose a completely new course. This potentially catastrophic economic situation presents us with a shining opportunity to consciously change our course and secure our destiny as the human race – a destiny of abundance for all.

Our Inalienable Rights & Transformation

To begin this journey of transformation, we need to be reminded of our inalienable rights as the residents of the world and in my case, South Africa, where this philosophy was born. It is ironic that these so-called new ideas are almost word-for-word the principles of the Freedom Charter for which many South Africans like Nelson Mandela were imprisoned, and many more have died in past 100 years. Today, this call for rights is no longer applicable to a specific sector of our population, but rather, a unified call by all its people who have been denied freedom and dignity.

WE are the CUSTODIANS of the planet - but to protect it, we have to take it back from the unlawful governments that have claimed ownership - under the control of large, untouchable corporations who are raping and destroying OUR EARTH.

While this document is written from a South African perspective, it is equally applicable to every other country on Earth, and I would like you to please read it as such. Once we remind ourselves that this is our country and that the governments are our servants, we face the terrible realisation that the government does NOT have our best interest at heart.

It is now very clear that all the global governments are slowly-but-surely taking all our rights, writing new laws that enslave us, restrict us, and deny us any form of recourse to regain our inalienable rights.

In the context of these rights, I use the word “own” and “belong” in the spiritual sense of the word and not the materialistic sense, as physical belongings. I need to make this very clear, because I know that some people jump to conclusions before they read all the information.

In the UBUNTU Contributions system, there is no such thing as ownership, and especially land ownership. Land will be made available by the community to those who work it – as much land as is necessary for every possible endeavour or need of the community. Farmers of all sorts will be key players in every community and will get all the support they need from their community. The same will apply to all other industries – but I will cover that under its own section.

In the words of Chief Seattle in 1854:

How can you buy or sell the sky? We do not own the freshness of the air or the sparkle on the water. How then can you buy them from us? Every part of the Earth is sacred to my people, holy in their memory and experience. We know the white man does not understand our ways. He's a stranger who comes in the night and takes from the land whatever he needs. The Earth is not his friend but his enemy, and when he's conquered it he moves on. He kidnaps the Earth from his children....for whatever befalls the Earth, befalls the children of the Earth.

— [3]

This was the terrible legacy left by the colonisers of the planet, especially in the past 500 years. They caused unimaginable destruction and misery among the native populations of the world. They destroyed indigenous and native lives; destroyed their belief systems and culture; raped the women; killed the men; stole their gold and other wealth; occupied their land; drove them off the land and enslaved them.

These colonisers introduced new laws that were alien to the native people, introduced the use of money, and claimed all the wealth and mineral rights for themselves. Within a few months of arriving in South Africa, in the late 1800s, Cecil John Rhodes had claimed all the mineral rights on behalf of the queen of England, and started selling these rights to foreign prospectors and mining companies.

And so it went for at least 100 years. Slowly but surely, without most South Africans being aware of it, all the wealth of the country was sold to large mining corporations who simply used the indigenous people as their slaves. And while the corporations often boasted with what they gave back in the form of technology and development, it was all just a cleverly disguised deception, since all the development was done so that it could support greater exploitation of the mineral wealth, and more enslavement of the native populations.

The Bushmen, or Khoi and San people, as they are called by the authorities, are probably the most exploited and decimated sector of the indigenous people in southern Africa. It has been shown that these are the people with the oldest DNA on Earth, which points to the origins of our species here at the southern tip of the continent, and they should be protected and cherished at all costs. But this is not the case. They continue being grossly abused by all the governments of southern Africa, to the point of extinction.

What becomes clear from all this brutal activity against various peoples of the world, is that all our rights have slowly and cunningly being stolen from us – wrapped up in deceptive promises of freedom, democracy, growth, development, lawful society, justice, and many other lies used by those in power to mislead the ignorant and good-hearted masses.

Contrary to what you believe, the common people of the world have NO RIGHTS remaining. So if we are going to move ahead in unity and equality, we have to reclaim our rights, and with it, our dignity. This can all happen peacefully and in full integrity and love for all of humanity. Even for those who violated our rights.

As a great teacher some 2000 years ago said: “forgive them for they know not what they are doing.”

So as we move ahead into unchartered waters on this planet, reclaiming our rights, let us do it in love for all of creation and become contributors to the abundance on the beautiful Earth, rather than takers.

Our Inalienable Rights – The Rights of all Citizens

1. The country belongs to its people
2. The land belongs to its people
3. The water belongs to the people
4. The forests belong to the people
5. The rivers and lakes belong to the people
6. The gold, the platinum, diamonds, chrome, copper, iron, uranium, tin, aluminium, and all other minerals in the ground belong to the people
7. The air and the airwaves belong to the people
8. Everything that grows on the land belongs to the people
9. The beaches, the mountains and the skies above belong to the people
10. The wild animals do not belong to us or anyone else, they belong to the planet and we are their custodians and protectors
11. The Earth is our MOTHER – we are only here because of her – and therefore we must honour her and protect her against harm.

The planet, the land and all these things DO NOT belong to the politicians, the government, or any corporation who has unlawfully claimed exclusive rights over it.

The government has stolen the country from its people. We, the people need to take it back.

Transformation

Transformation to the UBUNTU CONTRIBUTION SYSTEM can happen in TWO possible ways:

• where we consciously and gradually start to move towards a system without money;
• a situation where we are suddenly forced into it by uncontrollable external events.

The way that the world is going, it seems that the money controllers will not give up their control willingly, and we will probably be dumped into a sudden and dramatic change of life – without any money at all, when the entire banking and economic system crashes.

The second possibility is probably the better of the two because it places humanity in a situation of “we have to work together to survive”.

Whichever way it goes, we have to start thinking about it and embracing the principles so that we are ready for it. We need to be comfortable with the philosophy, realise that it is the only way forward for humanity, and fully understand the simplicity of UBUNTU.

It will require a complete paradigm-shift in our way of thinking in our approach to our own destiny. But these will be highly-liberating and exciting times with limitless possibilities for everyone. There are many conscious and enlightened people that have been waiting for this kind of social structure for a long time.

But we cannot wait for the system to crash; we have to be proactive and start taking action ourselves. That will help speed up the eradication of money from society by sidelining the bankers into paralysis until they have absolutely no say or effect in our lives.

To explain the transition from a capitalist money-driven society, to one that operates on the other side of the scale, is tricky - mainly because there will be transitional stages, in which we will have to accommodate money, while doing many things without money or payment. There does come a time in the process where the balance of scales tip so suddenly that people don’t even realise they don’t need money - when they realise that they are no longer using money for anything.

Remember that money does not dig the boreholes, or purify water – people do. Money does not cook the food or make a fire on a cold night – people do. People create, build, invent, and have the capacity for infinite love for each other. This has been destroyed by the principle of ‘divide and conquer’ that has successfully controlled us for so long.

The fundamental principles of UBUNTU Contributionism are the same values and dreams we encourage in our children – follow your dreams, improve your natural talents and skills... and then one day all those dreams are shattered in almost every child when they realise the harsh reality that the world does not allow them to follow their passions and dreams. It may do so for a very small percentage of the population, but the large majority of highly-skilled and talented people end up doing something they hate – just because it brings in a little bit of money at the end of the month.

There are rocket scientists driving buses, instead of working on rockets. Those who are passionate about buses working in bakeries instead of driving buses, bakers digging trenches, while those who love civil engineering and want to build bridges work as receptionists in banks. It is truly a twisted world of imbalances – all because of money.

Most of us cannot afford to attain the education or training we dream of and if we do, we spend the rest of our lives paying off the student loan. The world does not look favourably on ‘natural skills’ in the ‘labour market’ where everyone is judged on the level of education and training they present. Most people take on jobs for the sake of earning a few lousy bucks while undergoing on-the-job-training for something they despise – but they endure it because they need the money.

This system is a continuous spiral of entrapment that generates huge amounts of negative energy in the world. Remember that thoughts are waves and frequencies of energy that are subconsciously felt by all other people around you. And because the majority of the world lives in misery, these thoughts and strong emotions continue to affect the rest of humanity negatively. Therefore we have what many psychologists call a “collective depressive state of humanity”.

UBUNTU provides the immediate solution for all the negative symptoms and the causes of the problems.

When people do what they are passionate about and what they love doing, they radiate very positive energy. This invisible positive emotive state feeds others around them with very positive energy. It is infectious and it can be felt when you walk into a room of happy people, doing what they love to do - whether it is cooking, farming, engineering, washing, making shoes, creating art, or even solving sewerage problems.

Contributionism is based on the simple principle that everyone has their own talents, skills and passions. There are millions of different people with different talents and passions. This is the diversity that every community needs to keep improving their own situation.

So how do we start to implement this?

The first phase is to get all the small rural towns and villages to become self-sufficient on as many levels as possible. Starting with food, water, housing, electricity and as many other areas as they can. A model for this is laid out in the next part “A Plan For Rural Towns”.

The second phase is the slow and steady decentralisation of the urban metropolitan jungles that have evolved as a result of the chase for money. The re-population of the many smaller towns and villages will be a vital part to bring new skills and expertise into the community and continually keep improving the community’s ability to provide better services and facilities to the people.

So many city-slickers have weekend cottages in small towns to escape the rat-race as often as they can. All those people can now escape the rat-race permanently and just stay in the small town they love so much. All they have to do is to contribute their skills or talents to the greater benefit of the whole community. It is no longer all about my house, my garden, my road, and the many self-centred characteristics we have developed in this divided world, but rather: our town, parks and gardens, homes, roads - and our happiness.

Strong rural and farming communities with a variety of freedoms will provide the platform for all future growth. Since food and water is the basic need of all, farming and farmers will play a key role in stabilising each community. I will go into great detail how the production and delivery of food should operate under the farming section.

This reactivation of these small communities will be accompanied by the first wave of freedoms previously denied to the people. Free water, free food, free electricity, free housing, free service and everything else the community produces.

I need to qualify the word “free”: Since there is no money in the system, things are not really free. They are simply made available to everyone all the time – as long as they are contributing members of the community. It is that simple and basic.

To achieve all this will require taking back the power from the politicians and the governments and the municipalities they have created, with their complex legal systems to protect their own interests and the agendas of the large multinational corporations that support them.

Governments destroy communities and small towns on a daily basis. Large corporations destroy small towns and destroy peoples' lives every day. The small town of Waterval Boven, where I live, was devastated by the government some 5 years ago, when they decided to close a major railway station and railroad department. This put about 400 people out of work in the countryside, completely destroying the town.

This was all done because of money. The railway authorities felt that it was no longer financially viable to keep the offices and buildings active and decided to close it down and manage it from one of their satellite offices 100 kilometres away.

Two obvious things become evident:

The first one is that if the government was truly the servant to the people, they would never have do such a thing, because the people would never have agreed to such action.

Secondly, money is once again behind the misery of ordinary people, most of whom probably did not even like their jobs at the railways, but did it as a means to an end.
