Project Opt Out

[AceNZ]

It is not enough to merely convert FRN's to silver. I want to trade in silver. Not barter in silver - actually BUY USING SILVER (coins). Not "hoard" silver, but actually CIRCULATE IT, and get other people accustomed to understanding its real value. To get your silver into circulation requires cultivation. It is not hard, and it is WORTH IT!

I applaud you for the effort. It takes guts to stand up to the IRS and refuse to pay taxes on silver-based transactions (even though you don't consider it to be barter, the IRS does, of course -- requiring a Form 1099-B to be filed for each transaction).

I equip each one of them with a single URL:

http://www.coinflation.com/silver_coin_values.html

You might find the following URL useful for converting from dollars to 90% silver:

http://silverandgoldaremoney.com/

They also have an iPhone and Android app.

Cleaning the water is important but that does not mean once it comes out of your sink it is healthy to ingest the water. I have a 10 stage sink top water filter that most certainly removes the chlorine. And once that filter is finished, I am switching to an 5 stage anti-fluoride sink top water filter.

My shower head has a chlorine removal water filter. Chlorine + Hot Water = Toxic fumes. Not healthy to breathe it in.

If you look at this AGRP past posts he is not one of us.

Bump!

I wanna hear how some of you ladies and gents are opting out of stuf in your own lives. We can all give each other ideas.

I wanna hear how some of you ladies and gents are opting out of stuf in your own lives. We can all give each other ideas.

Here are a few ideas:

• Withdraw your money from the banking system, and hold it as cash or precious metals instead. Although cash probably isn't a good "investment," holding it has the side-effect of reducing the amount that banks can loan by a factor of up to 9x.
• Minimize your debt, and thereby minimize interest paid to banks
• Move some of your money into foreign currencies or foreign stocks
• Educate your kids at home and not in government schools
• If you live in a city full of corruption, like New York or Chicago, then move to someplace honest, where your tax dollars and the other fruits of your labor support a healthy system, rather than a corrupt one
• Reduce your consumption and increase your savings
• Minimize your taxes within legal limits, and don’t let yourself be driven by the fear of an audit (or, worse yet, feel that you need to pay “extra”)
• Consider moving to a state that doesn’t have a state income tax
• For stocks, favor buy-and-hold instead trading (no tax due until you sell)
• Barter for things when you can
• Be conscious of the companies you buy products from. How will they use the money you spend? Who do they buy from? Where do their profits go? (boycotting companies that advertise on Fox is an example of this)
• If you ever serve on a jury, apply individualist values to the case
• Cancel most or all of your credit cards. If you really need a card, try switching to a debit card
• Minimize your use of oil: get a high-mileage car, drive less, work from home, etc
• Academia is the source of many of today’s “diseases” of the mind, including new flavors of socialism, distorted models of the economy, etc. When choosing a college for yourself or your child, be careful that its values reflect your values
• Make sure your job reflects your core values. Not just what you do on a day-to-day basis, but how the fruits of your labor are applied in society. For example, you might refuse to work for the government, defense contractors, transportation companies that are involved with troop movement, companies that sell products to the government or the military, etc.

Excellent AceNV!

Bump for progress reports! Anyone else?

To be honest, I feel like every aspect of our paradigm shift is now snowballing into high speed. Things will get very dicy in the coming months, and OPT OUT will be one of the only things that will sway society in a positive direction.
