Barterer, this talk on barter might be of interest - haven't seen the whole thing yet:
Catherine Austin Fitts speaking at an IRTA Barter Convention, 9 Oct 08 - key word: "disintermediation"
(
International Reciprocal Trade Association)
It's all heavy background up until about 42:30
"...networks of trust..." at 50:42
"...alternative currencies..." at 52:25
"...shift to local..." at 1:06:45
"...reduce your dependency on large organizations..." at 1:07:12
"...the good news is you're the leader - the bad news is you're the leader..." at 1:12:00
"...this financial system is fundamentally fraudulent - I want out..." at 1:17:53
She talks about a widespread "culture of fraud" (the central banking/warfare model) and how our goal should be to get back to honest dealings...
Interesting stuff!
