Dick,

I meant precisely what I wrote, and I understand what Bucky wrote, because that is exactly what I was doing, paraphrasing Buckminster Fuller. We don't live in Bucky's world, that's just where we are trying to get to. We live in a world run by criminals. Bucky was talking about the difference between 'Wealth', his definition, and wealth, or as we commonly call it money. Money is to be used for 'cash accounting', which it is not. The United States is bankrupt, and has been for 30 years. May I suggest that you inquire how the Federal Reserve Bank works? I'll give you $1000 if you can get me a list of the owners of the Fed. Tell me Sir, exactly what don't you understand about the US being $8,400,000,000,000 dollars in debt, and how we got there? Don't be silly; you're not paying attention to the game. As Bucky wrote, the rich always change the rules to ensure that they are the winners. That is why PNAC, a.k.a. George Bush's friends, the CIA, FBI, Pentagon, Council on Foreign Relations, the Tri-Lateral Commission, i.e., the world elite planned and executed 9/11. Osama bin Laden was, and is a CIA asset. The WTC buildings were pre-loaded with high explosives, a scientifically provable fact. 9/11 was just another 'rule change' for the global elite. (Find out what the 'Hegelian Principle' is, and how it's used.) These people are going to destroy the middle class in America and create a Nazi-like police state. Are you middle class? So, as Bucky was trying to point out: Economics is not a science, and it is not accounting, it's a socio-economic ploy, just like the corporation, the stock market, the banking system, the patent system, and the casino, among others. All those things you mentioned; talent, skills, infrastructure, processes, knowledge, etc, are for all intents and purposes, worthless right now, because they are not being utilized, they are being covertly and actively suppressed and/or destroyed, with the exception of the weapons industry. If you have doubts about this, send me an email.

You see Dick, it doesn't matter how many Randome's you design and distribute, because those temporary shelters are not sustainable. They won't help anybody in the long run. Don't you think that if the US government wanted to be prepared for disasters, they would already have mass-produced dome shelters warehoused? They maintain their power by not being prepared. They are using fear to control us. You are doing this as a reaction to the needs of people after a disaster, when in fact; those disasters were pre-engineered and planned. To understand how Katrina was planned, you have to begin to do your own thinking, and your own research. A hurricane is not a 'natural disaster' it is a natural event. It is the circumstances surrounding the hurricane that need to be understood in detail. A leash that you cannot see is leading you along, and most of America too. I don't mean this a put-down; I mean it literally. We are the victims of cognitive manipulation, --psychological warfare techniques, and they are the same techniques that Hitler used on his population. If you continue to get your news from the mainstream media, or media funded by private foundations, you will continue to be tricked. Bucky has several index entries for 'psychological warfare' in the back of Critical Path. If you want to be true to Bucky's legacy, you should consider putting aside your reactionary thinking, and try Comprehensive Anticipatory Design Science. I've talked to many people throughout the years who wanted to see Bucky's ideas about a 'World Livingry Service Industry' come true. Why hasn't this happened yet? A: Because the global elite don't, and won't let happen. It would mean an end to their behind-the-scenes rule. If, and only if, massive amounts of people wake up and spontaneously collaborate in a comprehensive fashion, will we exercise our option to make-it.

Sincerely,
Andrew Owens

What is, "a fake bankrupt economy"? The wealth is certainly real isn't it? IP, talent, skills, machines, processes, infrastructure, knowledge and the rest of it are all bits of what we call wealth. Bucky called wealth knowhow. Is there any doubt knowhow is growing very quickly? Fossil carbohydrates are diminishing in quantity I agree, and never to be replaced. But at the same time our solar energy income dwarfs fossil reserves.

What do you mean fake? Are you referring to simply the unequal distribution of this wealth?
