		<description>“CAMPAIGN FOR STATE BANKS”
state banks will END federal government dependence
ITS THE FED DUMMIE..the ROOT of our economic mess
WE THE PEOPLE MUST CREATE&#60;ISSUE AND CONTROL OUR CURRENCY,,OTHERWISE WE ARE SLAVES TO THE BANKSTERS!
we must END THE FED and big government..Ron Paul bill HR 1207 to audit the fed will do nothing,as the federal reserve lawyers will cook the books and make everything look just dandy..a waste of time..in fact I would bet the fed lawyers are fudging the accounting books right now working on it..the fed must be ABOLISHED,and it can be done w/o nary a bill to get rid of it..with this new state banking money system,the fed will die on its own accord..state run banks ARE the solution..a new interest free paper currency issued in each of the 50 states possibly backed by silver,[NO GOLD]..we had our money backed by gold in 1929 and the 1930’s..did it stop the great depression? NO!..although gold would still retain a value 16 times greater than silver per the constitution,with each state making their own $1,$5,$10,$20,$50,and $100 paper notes backed by silver[ex: $20 Texas silver note..under that "payable to the bearer on demand $20 in silver [when presented at any state bank,you would receive either $20 worth of 90% silver coin, 20-.999 silver dollars,4 - 5 oz. .999 silver bars,or 2 -10 oz, .999 silver bars],and all 50 state paper notes would be accepted in every state and abroad..having 50 different notes for the 50 sovereign states would make it extremely difficult for the banksters to take back control of the U.S. money system again.. a dollar would be 31.1 grams of silver[ONE OUNCE] as per the constitution..change for the new paper notes would be pre-1965 90% silver again[only 90% silver with 10% copper is hard enough to take the day to day pounding/ movement/exchanging and hold up],and 100% copper again for pennies..a state run interest free loan banking system run by the people.. for the people.. there would be only a small administrative fee/ cost, to borrow money to pay state bank employees and mgrs. etc.
EX: you would borrow $210,000 for a $200,000 house,and pay back $210,000 over the next 5,10,or 15 years,instead of the present parasitic fractional reserve banking system where you would buy a $200,000 house and pay the private parasitic fractional reserve lending banksters $1,000,000 over 30 or 40 years.. ditto credit cards..
a petition page will soon be up at WEB OF DEBT.COM
where you sign it and demand your state
[unless you already live in N. Dakota that already has state banks] implement state run banks..
..BANKS AND “OUR” MONEY CONTROLLED BY WE THE PEOPLE..
NOT BANKSTERS OR A ROGUE,BLOATED,CORRUPT,FEDERAL GOVERNMENT !
talk about PROSPARITY RETURNING TO AMERICA!
imagine paying $500-$1,000 for a new car again..
of course a new state bank silver dollar will have the purchasing power of a 1913 dollar!</description>

		<description>What a twist the article linked (latimes) spun on what occurred, if you didn't watch it yourself, make yourself do it. It's important to get as much of the news first hand as possible rather than a brief angle-ridden description of an occurrence.</description>

		<description>Justine, Pasha: Thank you for the responses. Do you have a blog or website that is dedicated to the film? I really think you have a good thing going here and  tremendous opportunities for blogger outreach and integrated marketing across channels. Again, I don''t mean this to sound like a pitch in any way, but people that are creating artistic passionate projects are my passion. 

Feel free to email me anytime. Maybe we could get on a quick call to see how I might get involved in the process.

keith at keithburtis dot com

As for the questions on the sweet spot... I think that is where you really want to let the related communities know what your doing and ask for feedback. Set up some monitoring to find the people talking about your key terms and areas of interest. Start by engaging there. Also, if you create a blog or website like presence you will be able to gain intelligence around your analytics. 

Have you checked out the marketing and community engagement around 'Lemonade Movie'. it's a great story of building up an artistic documentary around the digital community. 

Again, I stress sharing the process from the outset. It's much easier to start now and gain interest than it will be on the day of release. 

Look forward to chatting soon :)

		<description>Keith - 

We'd love to keep you involved and hear your ideas.  We're honored and excited to have this chance to engage with the liberty community on both artistic and intellectual levels.

There are a lot of processes going on for us to share ranging from:
* The underlying ideas, such as hyper-inflation and currency competition, 
* Silver production itself (we're visiting a refinery in a couple of weeks),
* Engaging with non-liberty communities, especially the comics world,
* And the technical process of animation production.

Any ideas on what will be a sweet spot, where to find the most passion?

Take care and keep up your great work!

Pasha.</description>

		<description>Keith, 
Thanks for the compliments which should be directed toward Lineplot Productions. Would love to hear about your ideas on how we can help them build up a movement/community for this movie -- I see that you have much experience in consulting in that area.

Be sure to join their Facebook Fan Page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Silver-Circle-Movie/270706128574

		<description>Looks like a tremendous opportunity and project. The topic would interest me a ton. I'm not in the local area but I would love to follow along with the story here and maybe offer some ideas on how you can foster and build community. I will subscribe via RSS interested to see how you move forward with this. 

One of the things that I am telling people all along is to "share the process". By sharing from the outset you will gain advocates, collaborators and supporters. I commend you for launching this the right way.</description>

		<description>As the self-proclaimed father of libertarianism throughout the sixties and seventies, Murray Rothbard perhaps bears the most responsibility for marginilizing the once great classical liberal movement. By allying with the 60's Radical New Left, violent leftist militias, and other Leninists, Rothbard diluted the libertarian brand and made it virtually impossible for free-market conservatives to embrace Rothbard's brand of libertarianism. Anarcho-capitalism is a philosophy wholly outside the great classical liberal tradition, a cornerstone of which is the Rule of Law. Anarchy, whether anarcho-capitalism, anarcho-syndicism, or anarcho-socialism, subjects men to mob rule and perpetual chaos. It is inconsistent with freedom and with capitalism. Peter Schwartz does a great job explaining the terrible folly of anarcho-capitalism in his essay "Libertarianism: The Perversion of Liberty"</description>
