we don't need the cash
Thats right. Keep your cash. Cash is a scam.
One recent form
of the allegation that the Federal Reserve System aggrandizes the
private bankers at the public's expense turns on the fact that the 12
Federal Reserve banks are owned by the private member banks of the
Federal Reserve System. By implication or assertion, the charge is made
that the private bankers as owners of the U.S. central bank, the
Federal Reserve System -- have controlled and continue to control U.S
monetary policy and regulation to enrich themselves.
Dozens of publications assert much more. They charge that both the
Federal Reserve System and the bankers who own stock in Federal Reserve
banks are key elements in a grand conspiracy among a few elite to
control the world. They hold that the Federal Reserve System was the
plan of an illegal secret conspiracy aimed at controlling the Nation's
money and credit policies in order to virtually dictate the course of
events -- to start wars, to induce recessions and depressions, and to
create money and debt -- all of which would enhance the power of and
increase the profits of the manipulators in charge.

we don't need the flesh
For the first time in history there is one
globally dominant
political-economy, that of capitalism. Under this regime, individuals
of various social groups and classes will be forced to submit their
bodies for reconfiguration so they can function more efficiently under
the obsessively rational imperatives of pancapitalism (production,
consumption, and order). One means of reconfiguration is the blending
of the organic and electro-mechanical. Potentially, this process could
produce a new living entity distinct from its predecessors. This
process, now termed posthuman development, is in its experimental
stages, which in turn has lead to speculations and theories on what
form this new being will take and on its probable functions. The two
entities of posthuman existence most commonly postulated are the cyborg
and downloaded virtual consciousness. While robots, androids, and
artificially intelligent machines are also generally considered part of
the posthuman family, they do not emerge directly out of human
organics, and hence constitute a different line of development. Cyborgs
and virtual consciousness, on the other hand, are dependent upon human
individuals who desire or are condemned to interface with the machine.
The cyborg is a being which typically has an organic platform
integrated with a complex technological superstructure; virtual
consciousness is the transference of being into digitized form so that
it may exist in immersive informational landscapes. The posthuman
condition is still only a potential, since fully integrated,
first-order cyborgs (the organic platform and technological
superstructure are completely interdependent) are still on the cultural
horizon, and virtual consciousness is at best an entertaining
speculation.
