It is common in our mass-media to read and to hear commentators talk about the number of social problems that face us today, such as global warming, destruction of Earth's environment, unemployment, crime, violence, poverty, hunger, and the population explosion. Yet, how often do we hear of workable plans for alleviating many of these social problems? It is relatively simple for people to criticize society, however it's much more difficult to identify and implement plans to resolve the problems.

The Venus Project is a veritable blue-print for the genesis of a new world civilization, one that is based on human concern and environmental reclamation.

The plans for The Venus Project offer society a broader spectrum of choices based on the scientific possibilities directed toward a new era of peace and sustainability for all. Through the implementation of a resource-based economy, and a multitude of innovative and environmentally friendly technologies directly applied to the social system, The Venus Project proposals will dramatically reduce crime, poverty, hunger, homelessness, and many other pressing problems that are common throughout the world today.

One of the cornerstones of the organization's findings is the fact that many of the dysfunctional behaviors of today's society stem directly from the dehumanizing environment of a monetary system. In addition, automation has resulted in the technological replacement of human labor by machines and eventually most people will not have the purchasing power to buy the goods and services turned out.

The Venus Project proposes a social system in which automation and technology would be intelligently integrated into an overall social design where the primary function would be to maximize the quality of life rather than profits. This project also introduces a set of workable and practical values.

This is in perfect accord with the spiritual aspects and ideals found in most religions throughout the world. What sets The Venus Project apart, however, is that it proposes to translate these ideals into a working reality.

PHASE ONE

The first phase of The Venus Project's long-term plans is already underway. Jacque Fresco, futurist, inventor, industrial designer and founder of The Venus Project and his associate Roxanne Meadows have completed the construction of a 25-acre research center in Venus, Florida to help present the proposals of The Venus Project. Videos, pamphlets, and a recently published book, The Best That Money Can't Buy: Beyond Politics, Poverty, and War, have been created to help raise awareness about this project and its many proposals.

PHASE TWO

Phase Two includes the production of a full-length feature film that will depict how a world embracing the proposals advanced by The Venus Project would work. This film would provide a positive vision of a peaceful society in which all human beings form a global family on planet Earth. A civilization in which all people are engaged in the pursuit of a better understanding of the world they share. This film has been designed to be an entertaining and educational experience for both adults and children.

PHASE THREE

To test its designs and proposals The Venus Project is working towards putting its ideals into practice by the construction of an experimental research city. Blueprints for most of the initial technologies and buildings have begun. Fund-raising efforts are currently under way to help support the construction of this first experimental city. This new experimental research city would be devoted to working towards the aims and goals of The Venus Project, which are:

1. Realizing the declaration of the world's resources as being the common heritage of all people.

2. Transcending the artificial boundaries that currently and arbitrarily separate people.

3. Replacing money-based nationalistic economies with a resource-based world economy.

4. Assisting in stabilizing the world’s population through education and voluntary birth control.

5. Reclaiming and restoring the natural environment to the best of our ability.

6. Redesigning cities, transportation systems, agricultural industries, and industrial plants so that they are energy efficient, clean, and able to conveniently serve the needs of all people.

7. Gradually outgrowing corporate entities and governments, (local, national, or supra- national) as means of social management.

8. Sharing and applying new technologies for the benefit of all nations.

9. Developing and using clean renewable energy sources.

10. Manufacturing the highest quality products for the benefit of the world’s people.

11. Requiring environmental impact studies prior to construction of any mega projects.

12. Encouraging the widest range of creativity and incentive toward constructive endeavour.

13. Outgrowing nationalism, bigotry, and prejudice through education.

14. Eliminating elitism, technical or otherwise.

15. Arriving at methodologies by careful research rather than random opinions.

16. Enhancing communication in schools so that our language is relevant to the physical conditions of the world.

17. Providing not only the necessities of life, but also offering challenges that stimulate the mind while emphasizing individuality rather than uniformity.

18. Finally, preparing people intellectually and emotionally for the changes and challenges that lie ahead.

PHASE FOUR

After the research experimental city is built, a theme park is also planned that will both entertain and inform visitors about the possibilities for humane and environmentally friendly life-styles planned by The Venus Project. It will feature intelligent houses; high-efficiency, non polluting transportation systems; advanced computer technology; and a number of other innovations that can add value to the lives of all people - in a very short period of time.

No one can actually predict the future. We can only extrapolate on present information and trends. Population growth, technological change, worldwide environmental conditions, and available resources are the primary criteria for future projections.

There is no single philosophy or point of view whether religious, political, scientific, or ideological, that someone would not take issue with. We feel certain, however, that the only aspects of The Venus Project that may appear threatening are those which others project onto it.

The Venus Project is neither Utopian nor Orwellian, nor does it reflect the dreams of impractical idealists. Instead, it presents attainable goals requiring only the intelligent application of what we already know. The only limitations are those which we impose upon ourselves.

 The One Earth for - all! actively working towards the establishment of this system.

A Resource-Based Economy is a system in which all goods and services are available without the use of money, credits, barter or any other system of debt or servitude. All resources become the common heritage of all of the inhabitants, not just a select few. The premise upon which this system is based is that the Earth is abundant with plentiful resource; our practice of rationing resources through monetary methods is irrelevant and counter productive to our survival.

Modern society has access to highly advanced technology and can make available food, clothing, housing and medical care; update our educational system; and develop a limitless supply of renewable, non-contaminating energy. By supplying an efficiently designed economy, everyone can enjoy a very high standard of living with all of the amenities of a high technological society.

A resource-based economy would utilize existing resources from the land and sea, physical equipment, industrial plants, etc. to enhance the lives of the total population. In an economy based on resources rather than money, we could easily produce all of the necessities of life and provide a high standard of living for all.

Consider the following examples: At the beginning of World War II the US had a mere 600 or so first-class fighting aircraft. We rapidly overcame this short supply by turning out more than 90,000 planes a year. The question at the start of World War II was: Do we have enough funds to produce the required implements of war? The answer was No, we did not have enough money, nor did we have enough gold; but we did have more than enough resources. It was the available resources that enabled the US to achieve the high production and efficiency required to win the war. Unfortunately this is only considered in times of war.

In a resource-based economy all of the world's resources are held as the common heritage of all of Earth's people, thus eventually outgrowing the need for the artificial boundaries that separate people. This is the unifying imperative.

We must emphasize that this approach to global governance has nothing whatever in common with the present aims of an elite to form a world government with themselves and large corporations at the helm, and the vast majority of the world's population subservient to them. Our vision of globalization empowers each and every person on the planet to be the best they can be, not to live in abject subjugation to a corporate governing body.

Our proposals would not only add to the well being of people, but they would also provide the necessary information that would enable them to participate in any area of their competence. The measure of success would be based on the fulfilment of one's individual pursuits rather than the acquisition of wealth, property and power.

At present, we have enough material resources to provide a very high standard of living for all of Earth's inhabitants. Only when population exceeds the carrying capacity of the land do many problems such as greed, crime and violence emerge. By overcoming scarcity, most of the crimes and even the prisons of today's society would no longer be necessary.

A resource-based economy would make it possible to use technology to overcome scarce resources by applying renewable sources of energy, computerizing and automating manufacturing and inventory, designing safe energy-efficient cities and advanced transportation systems, providing universal health care and more relevant education, and most of all by generating a new incentive system based on human and environmental concern.

Many people believe that there is too much technology in the world today, and that technology is the major cause of our environmental pollution. This is not the case. It is the abuse and misuse of technology that should be our major concern. In a more humane civilization, instead of machines displacing people they would shorten the workday, increase the availability of goods and services, and lengthen vacation time. If we utilize new technology to raise the standard of living for all people, then the infusion of machine technology would no longer be a threat.

A resource-based world economy would also involve all-out efforts to develop new, clean, and renewable sources of energy: geothermal; controlled fusion; solar; photovoltaic; wind, wave, and tidal power; and even fuel from the oceans. We would eventually be able to have energy in unlimited quantity that could propel civilization for thousands of years. A resource-based economy must also be committed to the redesign of our cities, transportation systems, and industrial plants, allowing them to be energy efficient, clean, and conveniently serve the needs of all people.

What else would a resource-based economy mean? Technology intelligently and efficiently applied, conserves energy, reduces waste, and provides more leisure time. With automated inventory on a global scale, we can maintain a balance between production and distribution. Only nutritious and healthy food would be available and planned obsolescence would be unnecessary and non-existent in a resource-based economy.

As we outgrow the need for professions based on the monetary system, for instance lawyers, bankers, insurance agents, marketing and advertising personnel, salespersons, and stockbrokers, a considerable amount of waste will be eliminated. Considerable amounts of energy would also be saved by eliminating the duplication of competitive products such as tools, eating utensils, pots, pans and vacuum cleaners. Choice is good. But instead of hundreds of different manufacturing plants and all the paperwork and personnel required to turn out similar products, only a few of the highest quality would be needed to serve the entire population. Our only shortage is the lack of creative thought and intelligence in ourselves and our elected leaders to solve these problems. The most valuable, untapped resource today is human ingenuity.

With the elimination of debt, the fear of losing one's job will no longer be a threat This assurance, combined with education on how to relate to one another in a much more meaningful way, could considerably reduce both mental and physical stress and leave us free to explore and develop our abilities.

If the thought of eliminating money still troubles you, consider this: If a group of people with gold, diamonds and money were stranded on an island that had no resources such as food, clean air and water, their wealth would be irrelevant to their survival. It is only when resources are scarce that money can be used to control their distribution. One could not, for example, sell the air we breathe or water abundantly flowing down from a mountain stream. Although air and water are valuable, in abundance they cannot be sold.

Money is only important in a society when certain resources for survival must be rationed and the people accept money as an exchange medium for the scarce resources. Money is a social convention, an agreement if you will. It is neither a natural resource nor does it represent one. It is not necessary for survival unless we have been conditioned to accept it as such.

The unconditional basic income can be "loosely to fund" when a lot of "unnecessary" red tape removed and the tax system is optimized. 

Such solutions are available. 

As the state's expense, including the basic income can be financed? 
There are plenty of supporters in Germany have an unconditional basic income in the amount of 1500 € at constant cost of living is realistic. 

This requires a complete change in the outdated tax system. That means there will be a major tax reform and a natural economic order. The new model is grounded in the "free money" after the founder of Silvio Gesell Freiwirtschaftbundes. 

Freiwirtschaft has nothing to do with gastronomy. Silvio Gesell defined a "free economy" as an economic system that works separately from the debt money. The State must remain master of his own money and emit it himself, instead of lending it is the "money holders" against interest must. 

Since this small group of "owners of money" on this income without power reluctantly omitted, it is no wonder, is the one of Silvio Gesell bestverschwiegensten economic reformers in history. 

The new tax model is supported by three main pillars and consists of consumption tax, land tax and fee money in circulation / melting. All existing tax accounts 

Consumption tax is VAT which will be determined in a sufficient amount. Ie, who consumed pay taxes. Land tax means that only the area used to be paid as ground rent to the state. 

Circulation fee is part of a natural economic order, according to overcome the interest rate system set up in its place a monetary circulation fee. Fees cause more rapid circulation of money circulation and bring declining costs, more work, more time to live. 

How does the funding? 

Consumption tax: 
Today, all consumed goods and services are subject to a VAT of 19%. The new consumption tax will be around 40 -50% and yet the products are cheaper. 

Why? 
The price of a product is made, each third together in something like this: 
- Purchasing, labor costs, incidental expenses (rent electricity, etc.) + VAT 

Today's wage for an employee are included in each price. As accounted by the BGE charges such as KV, AV and RV for the AG, the AN also cheaper for the employer, at about 30%, which means the pricing may be minimized at this cost. Since this cost is included in the purchase price from the manufacturer to reduce the purchase prices. Additional costs will be cheaper because, inter alia, power stations led to the state and the state does not return to commercial gain is made .. Net result, prices for 20 to 30% can be covered which are then filled with 40-50% consumption tax again. 

Summary: 
The net cost of the goods will be reduced so that the consumption tax may be at lower prices around 40 - 50%. 

Land tax: 
Basically, the land can be sold only to the state. This leased the ground for equitable regional keys to the citizens. Nobody needs to sell his property. Every citizen is entitled to the basic grant by the state) to lease (similar to today's lease, for which the citizen has to pay taxes. In today's privately-owned land is raised, of course, a land tax. Agriculturally used areas are calculated by a separate key. 

Summary: 
The land tax is based on corporate, private and agricultural use and is calculated by a separate key, and is one of the 3 pillars of state funding. 

Circulation fee / melting: 
The money in circulation fee is then required by the state if not enough tax revenue through the consumption and land tax. It must be ongoing costs, such as (eg for road construction, schools, can be paid, etc.).

The still existing monetary system with its interest rate system that is based only on cheating and lying, is not acceptable for a modern society.
Happen, the problems of today such as crime, war, hunger and thirst as well as the depletion and the nature and the environment, air pollution and water pollution, the reason for all intent and purpose is money.
Money is to blame, those who seek the causes of all suffering on this planet will soon unmask the culprit, it is the money.
Is the Monetary System on the bottom and you will see that it's true what I tell you. Trust you and act accordingly.

It is an income which is paid regardless of work and conditions of each individual citizen. 

This basic income to ensure the subsistence level and participation in cultural life of each individual. 

It should be enshrined in the Constitution and constitute an individual entitlement. It requires no means testing, no compensation in the form of work like today, the $ 1, - jobs, or the like. 

In addition, it eliminates identify forced and anxiety, which many people today in the form of existential fear. 

The basic income encourages entrepreneurship, commitment and creativity by unleashing his own personality. 

In our party program was added above ingredients. 

You can use our reflection on how it could work, gladly take it, and among friends and acquaintances, family and colleagues as a matter of debate, and encourage use. 

We recommend using several conferences are held, the closer the approach and the very idea of introducing an unconditional basic income for all who want to convey to you as an ingredient.

The unconditional basic income is the monthly payment of such EUR 1,500 .- at unchanged cost of living to every citizen of the state. And indeed unconditional. 

Man, woman, child, both poor and rich, young and old. Every citizen receives a monthly income as a basic service. Couples without children have a combined EUR 3,000 .- primary care, with children increased the basic income accordingly.

Children do not get the full amount and from the 4 children, we do not want to pay more to help prevent misuse on the backs of children.

What is natural? 

Of course, by nature. Looking at the interplay of nature, one will inevitably find that everything is in harmony with each other. 

Is it even in our society? Of course, comes from nature! Greed is a matter of nature and thus of course? - No, not in nature comes before greed. Thus, one can look at our society and our state as unnatural. In a socially functional community, the weaker will be shared by the entire society. Thus, our system should work worldwide. So it was once thought, and in earlier times it was also practiced. But unfortunately, developed in our time, earn more and more the mentality at the expense of weak profits. As the reality clearly shows more and more people suffer under the greed of corporations and banks. The current economic crisis and massive job cuts shows the consequences of these actions very clearly. 

This raises the legitimate question whether the State rather solidarity with fortune-hunting, rather than conforming to the natural, thus aligning the natural principle. The state has to serve the function of his people as a general organic beings. A nation, a society can only work if all our links in the chain, or all the gears of the mechanism "society" in themselves and represent a harmonious entity. A harmonious interaction can not be given if some of this gear Mechanismusses are unstable and fragile. 

Examples from physics are to be considered for some politicians and leaders very interesting, so they understand how a functioning principle must be established. How can people live below the poverty line do not work, let alone contribute to the functioning of the mechanism of "society". Existential fear and hopelessness are passed to the children. How should believe to be a socially just society? Hopelessness can not generate a desire to preserve that society. 

Sinking ships, such as saving companies with production surplus and drive families into bankruptcy with Hartz IV, the government seems to be a lucrative business. A real logic in this behavior can not be identified because they need to know that it is not possible to get permanent jobs. Is this a sedative for the people? "Trust us, we do that already" is in such statements and behavior but the panic of the politicians will be seen that they know full well that these problems are just the tip of the iceberg. Except for a few campaign promises no real concrete solutions are available. This recognizes the attentive viewer immediately. 
It goes without saying that this "rumdrucksen" and such an unnatural behavior, the matter will only worsen significantly. 

The natural principle or principle of creation has always defended itself and it will continue to do so. 
This current social situation violates all kinds of harmony laws of nature. It is as if one would like to write an overture, but sit in between a lot of distorted sounds in the composition and the result sounds to run away. One can of course do not make music. That is the case in our country. If more and more people can be driven into poverty, we do not expect to get a functioning entity. Where it will lead, if children learn to recognize in the school to complete a resin IV application, instead of their calling, from which a career choice can be developed? 

It is also natural that there is a shift from manufacturing jobs to services and creative, as well as charitable or social professions. The record of productive enterprises, especially in the situation of overproduction and market saturation will prove fatal. It's like a child, which would be solved by a toy because it is too old for this toy.The Society must learn to live in harmony with the whole. Every human being again, and its uniqueness must be in the Entire get a role. Just as a meadow, the flowers, each is unique in itself and yet harmoniously into the overall picture of the meadow inserts. Or have you heard someone sing a bird that did not fit in the chirping of other species? - I still do not! 

It is important for the laws of nature and harmony once again call into awareness, and not constantly by the media in such a sprinkle can, so that one forgets his own uniqueness. Very few people are able to paint a picture, make music, or otherwise to be creative. But just the creativity is the most important gift of a man. This potential is so very important because it represents the uniqueness of a person. 
But unfortunately, become a man becoming a sheep being, that is from a hybrid of stupid sheep and humans. In packs, they stare into the square box and nod together as if on command the players. It has also been reported from sheep being accomplished jointly on certain images of the square box cheers. 


Something like this could see us aliens ... 

Is not that sad? At least this is very unnatural! 

Go the natural way. They throw their lives away not. Open it up again for the finer things in life. 

One Earth for - all! is a party that is the NATURAL way. Move this way!

The Civic Democratic Movement International! wants to create a world that is based on the model of Jacques Fresco and Roxanne Meadows in her The Venus Project. We want to enable people to lead a decent life without fear of war or life needs. The protection of nature and the re-production of the same is particularly important to us.
Technology should facilitate human life and will be further expanded for this reason. A monetary system there will be no more, because none is needed and more, and so, as the past and present shows everything is just a big lie.
Man is what he needs to have everything and anything to get what he needs for his health.
National states will disappear when the man has finally understood that it can only exist in the global community. We are all in the global context as seen everything there or there occure any or all of the concerns.
Now you are called upon to help save our planet and the people have a home. Become a member and together we form from our online community a world-embracing organization of a net to end the current system and build a new system to be honest.
