<p>Completely ignoring the drastic difference between a man and a person, accepting them as an essential element for the existence of life on planet Earth, on the question of the lifetime of a state masses are satisfied with the formulation that they simply appear and disappear.</p>
<p>The case of former Yugoslavia is very interesting for three main reasons. 1) In 1960s Yugoslavia achieved the highest rate of economic growth at the global level. 2) We have witnessed with our own eyes the cancellation of Yugoslavia as a state. 3) Publicizing themselves as supposed legal successors, and presenting the division of assets of barbarically liquidated collective as a civilized act in front of the eyes of the world, newly-invented states on that geographical area clashed with the shocking fact that the Constitution of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia does not contain the term "state property". Companies, residential buildings, commodity reserves, natural resources, foreign exchange reserves, cultural heritage, protected patents, military installations, gold reserves, embassies, tourist and agricultural structures, school and health capacities, commercial and scientific research facilities, roads, streets, transport vehicles... all these and other things were defined by the Constitution of the SFRY as a "social property" - over which no one had the right of ownership. With dramatic, extremely violent elimination of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, each of governments of the newly created states grabbed the property of demolished community which in those moments happened to be within so-called their territories.</p>
<p>By accepting some new citizenship, former Yugoslavs have automatically renounced their proportional share of enormous SFRY social richness.</p>
<p>And what if during the collapse of the former Yugoslavia someone had decided to continue living outside the system?</p>
<p>In accordance with the Universal Natural Law, today, 05 October 2013, on my 46th birthday, through Notice addressed to the Croatian Premier, I inform all governments, courts, police departments and other parties of cancellation of 'my' fictional person forcibly created in the early nineties and reappropriation of my illegitimately usurped sovereignty and a regeneration of ownership over my also illegitimately seized proportional part of the Yugoslav social property:</p>

<p>For the past several months, I have been working hard together with a small group of dedicated collaborators to bring a bold idea from conception to action: what if we could create a community currency for Vancouver and the Lower Mainland that helps change the economics of local, making it pay for local farmers to feed our city, freeing the creative among us to earn a livelihood in full expression of their gifts, and that gives young Vancouverites a viable alternative to working for the corporations that would transform our city into a carbon export gateway? What if, at the same time, that currency could help communities generate their own resources to help realise the collective visions of their citizens?</p>
<p>This is what we want to accomplish with SeedStock, a community currency for Vancouver and the Lower Mainland with a particular focus on local food, local arts and handicrafts, and local healers. Over the past couple of months we have been busy developing our ideas, expanding our networks and forging a talented and passionate team ready to take this forward.</p>
<p>We are now asking for the support of everyone who shares our vision as we prepare to launch a crowdfunding campaign to raise the modest amount of seed money we need to see this project off to a good start. We hope you can join us on May 16th at the HiVE for an evening of vision sharing in prose, poetry and song .

<br/>
<br/>
<a href="http://cromalternativemoney.org/index.php/en/media/news/alternative-currency-ethical-money-backed-by-real-values.html"><strong>ALTERNATIVE CURRENCY: ETHICAL MONEY BACKED BY REAL VALUES</strong></a><br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<strong><em>Transition into a better world and stable sustainable economy through the progress of monetary culture via development of a new worth appraisal and exchange system, in which alternative currency, as a universal real value based on precious metals, circulates. Love me freely as ethical money, unit of account, medium of exchange and store of value, or leave me and enjoy the benefits of a fictive currency in conventional monetary and financial control apparatus.</em></strong><br/>
<br/>
<br/>
How many explains have we been offered for such variable and destructive monetary climate of general distrust that took over the world recently. Sometimes, the best solution is to start all over again, so here are some questions that arise. The purpose of the modern education system is to teach people how to think, or what to believe? What is the essential difference in John giving 10 kilograms of potatoes to Mary for 10 kilos of tomatoes, and in Mariana giving 10 euros to John for 10 kilograms of spinach?<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Value is a reality that exists outside legal codes and regulations, or is just a matter of credibility that be negated by unwanted consequences of unpredictable events? What is value? How is it measured? What defines a measure of value? Acceptance of value is a matter of personal or collective choice? Acceptance of value is a matter of free choice or forced choice? Transparency is a communication on which people do not pay attention while wind blows in their favor, but as soon as wind changes direction to another dimension of existence, it is late for regrets and hopes in miracles. In understandable language, organization based on a culture of free information, projected towards the future, is facing with traditional insecurity of financial systems.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Three ingredients preserved in their purity - healthy logic, ethical and moral instinct – gave life to innovative embracement between pleasures of good taste and benefits of healthy life. From untrammeled creativity of <a href="http://cromalternativemoney.org"><strong>Crom Alternative Exchange Association</strong></a> came a new, revolutionary, <a href="http://cromland.cromalternativemoney.org"><strong>worth appraisal and exchange system</strong></a> that is able to offer the market not only natural quality of great taste, but it can have a positive impact on life style and general prosperity, via its honest prices, on both producers and consumers sectors.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Today, many choose to move to alternative areas, but how many of them can really offer a true alternative? In a situation of general distrust, Crom Alternative Currency System appears as an honest and sustainable, eco-friendly solution that can bring security to the market, and relief to nature and environment. In order to transform fantasy into solution, it has to be realizable, and this functional economic mechanism is a result of integration of projective creativity and technological capabilities from the idea workshop whose ambitions transcend regular repairs and adjustments in pursuit of a new, unique and the best.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Current ambient in current age is not exactly the most fertile ground for sprouting new innovative ideas that differ from conventional culture cultivated on media instruments whose purpose is, today more that ever, very questionable. But to give upon with an excuse that the conditions for undertake something and do good are bad is not a solution; if the intention is backed up with talent, knowledge and determination, "never say never" is a much better option. Sovereign alternative worth appraisal and exchange system – within which among all other means of payment Crom Alternative Currency circulates - a measure of worth for products and services defined by a fixed quantity of 5 precious metals and which is as such not subject to inflation - is an ambitious project backed with years of research and experimentations in order to create the highest quality, efficiency and safety.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
In other words, it is about adventure in issuing money, sector that does not exist even if all accept it and participate because it coincides with our favorite hobby – working for money. The innovation we are talking about here is a dynamic and flexible structure that offers a possibility for rejection of false rigid schemes from the past that are no longer able to cope with the variable needs of modern market.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
What is a main difference between official global monetary-financial system and Crom Worth Appraisal and Exchange System? Fiat money is the cause of monotonous problems, and Crom Alternative Currency is a fun creativity from which a broad specter of different solutions emanates. This is an "open source" nature project, with no need for patent protection - the more our culture is copied and communicated, together with our free spirit, life style, intuition, imagination, ingenuity and awareness that social position is not ensured inheritance but something that is to be deserved day after day; the more world will become honest, better and colorful with various skills and abilities connected to free individuality of personality within cooperative community.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Based on solid foundations such as efficiency, functionality and flexibility, in 2012 Crom Alternative Exchange Association enters into a new phase of expansion in which the ability to offer quality and innovative services will be of a crucial significance.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Promoting within social and business ant hill a progress trough development of monetary culture in which basic moral and ethical values flourish; in cooperation with national and international, economic and political, social and cultural organizations, and alone if needed; Association starts working on intention that, apart from the Internet, Crom Worth Appraisal And Exchange System obtain its business office also on the streets of the city of Pula - a space open to everyone - researchers, members, clients, institutions and other subjects interested in discovering new horizons. For a purpose of faster reaction and better adaption to new market demands, and to bring project to its fullest potential, Crom Association will concentrate its efforts on strengthening its organizational structure with the aim of further realization of activities of networking and opening new branches on national and international level that would be able to reach diverse audience and to maximize the flow and exchange of not just values, but resources and information also.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
For those reasons, a layout has been just renovated, complete structure of worth appraisal and exchange system has been refreshed, including the <a href="http://cromalternativemoney.org/index.php/en/marketplace"><strong>marketplace for products and services</strong></a>, and we have redefined specification of Crom Alternative Currency. Now a currency based on a combination of 5 precious metals rather than on a variable fictive financial value, as such it represent both measure of value and value of measure at the same time – which is an intrinsic prerogative for creating eye-glittering excitement after seeing ethical money realized for every wallet. Crom Alternative Real Value is more than just finished product, in a world where everything has become just a consumer good, it is the transformation of business into different life stile - mens sana in corpore sano - in which everyone can participate. In addition, on a way of crom apparition also outside electronic frames, in a paper note form, for which design an international tender will be published soon, from now as the means of payment are also available Transition Cheques.<br/>

<strong><em>Designed on the principle of 'Free Currencies – Free Markets – Free People – Free Planet', on 13 November 2011, the long-awaited Crom Alternative Currency System has finally been opened – in many ways a unique combination of a social network and payment system.</em></strong><br/>
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; color: #4e4e4e;"><br/></span></p>
<p>Unlike the old-fashioned economy, in which a man wasn't satisfied, in this modern economy he is not happy. Both economies have failed to provide him with things he needs. The more the progress and a number of the reachable desires grow, the lonelier and depressed a man becomes.</p>
<p>The motives that have recently led to the formation of revolutionary movements "Indignados" and "Occupy Wall Street", and many other similar forms of resistance against cruel assaults from bankers and politicians on everything what human dignity represents; are probably best defined as the fact that citizens have had enough of all the clichés, people can't stand it anymore. They no longer want to live and raise their children in a miserable environment of deception, injustice, poverty, hatred and war – the world dominated by the cynical smile of a few omnipotent financiers.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the quality of human life is not a matter of the availability of existing resources, but rather a question of the availability of money. Centralized power and centralized money cannot survive one without the other, so they function through a mutually beneficiary symbiosis – with the ambient in which they exist they have established a parasitic relationship, they drain the necessary life energy from it. "We are all slaves to money" is not just a famous proverb, it is an undisputed truth. In fact, money comes already from the printing machine in a form of interest-bearing debt to its issuer. Few weeks ago, on the World Savings Day, Giulio Tremonti, the Italian minister of economy and finance, made it clear what the total money supply in global circulation really is: "The term credit is derived from the Latin 'credere', which means 'to believe', so, for the benefit of common good, we must believe!"</p>
<p>Therefore, it is quite clear that credit ceases to exist when the lack of faith occurs. Back in August of 2007, the following info was published on Bloomberg: "The reality is that an entire market is in default". "So what's the catch", asked Mr. Bean!?! Just as the fiat money (Latin word for "let it be so") has nothing in common with material reality, so confidence has also lost all connections with critical thinking through dictatorship of ignorance – today's faith is nothing else than an obvious blackmail "work or die" to which 7 billion people are slaves.</p>
<p>In the current economic Pinocchiata, some people manically produce as much nonsense as possible, while others work in an even scarier rhythm to buy all that crap. If humanity – so thirsty of happiness and prosperity – does not want to miss this unique historical opportunity for transformation of the Global Prison into the Free Planet, then it must be ready to face two crucial steps.</p>
<p>The current system is infected by corruption on such a big scale that it is futile to invest any effort into its recovery. Last year, the famous football player Eric Cantona spoke to all the people of the world with the message that banks are the primary cause of malign economic tumor that devours us. He also underlined that neither armed revolutions nor bloody demonstrations nor non-violent protests are the salutary remedy. As the simplest and the only effective solution, he invited us to stop participating in the system.</p>
<p>The second step that is of vital importance is a new monetary system, upon which local communities as integral parts of the global organism should build healthy social and economic, domestic and foreign relations.</p>
<p>Based on the principle of "Free Currencies – Free Markets – Free People – Free Planet", from 13 November 2011, <a href="http://cromland.cromalternativemoney.org/"><strong>Crom Alternative Currency System</strong></a> has become an undeniable reality accessible to every man in any country. In transition towards a better future, it represents a combination of a <a href="http://cromalternativemoney.org/"><strong>social network and payment system</strong></a>, that, in a unique way, different from all the other alternatives, approaches the essential need for decentralization of money: People around the globe can conduct business and trade at this place whatever they have or make, through any means of payment they wish. Yes, exactly so! Allow everybody to accept as money anything they perceive as the best form of money – for example gold, food, Crom, milk or electricity – is there a better way to decentralize money than this?</p>
<p>Just as man cannot live without a heart, kidney, liver or lungs; Crom is designed as a network of local socio-economic networks. The same as in the transport of red blood cells, interests are not charged on the distribution of this alternative currency too. The amount of air that a man inhales is in accordance to his lung capacity, and the monetary policy of this monetary system is such that the amount of money inside the system matches the amount of products and services in circulation – that is why Crom as an alternative currency has a 100% coverage.</p>
<p>You, Indian farmer! You, American merchant! You, Chinese mechanic! You, Russian stewardess! You, African fisherman! And you, young European unemployed girl! Do not be misled by someone through Twitter that Crom is a cheap commercial trick, and do not wait for somebody to convince you through Facebook that Crom is a lottery where everybody wins! Explore, use your own head and see whether this place can become a school that will teach children, unlike their parents that were raised by a law of fratricidal market competition, not to see their colleagues as adversaries that have to be eliminated as soon as possible. Verify for yourself if this <a href="http://cromalternativemoney.org/index.php/en/marketplace"><strong>marketplace for products and services</strong></a> can become the launching pad for a new cooperative economy that will fulfill a man's needs instead the needs of the profit.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; color: #4e4e4e;"><a href="http://cromalternativemoney.org/index.php/en/media/news/free-planet-currency-to-be-launched-very-soon.html"><strong>ALTERNATIVE CURRENCIES CHALLENGE - FREE PLANET MONEY</strong></a><br/><br/> <strong><em>Transition: Are We On The Threshold Of The Socioeconomic Monetary Paradigm Shift That Reigns Over The Entire Globe?</em></strong><br/></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; color: #4e4e4e;"><br/></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; color: #4e4e4e;">Many people have to deal with negative life experiences that they should have never experienced. The same goes for business, where things often develop in a way that was not planned. If we zoom in on the current global situation we can see one half of the population dying of starvation, and on the other side we see teenagers, workers and pensioners deprived of all their dreams, aspirations and hopes - helplessly angry at governments and banks, just looking at the devastation caused by the global debt crisis.</span><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; color: #4e4e4e;"><br/><br/> Happiness, well-being, peace and prosperity can not be printed. Although there is more so-called money in the bloodstream of the human civilization than ever before in recorded history, and although there has never been so much currency created out of nothing in such a short time period, humanity is stuck in the greatest money crisis since it concluded the contract with God, better known as the Ten Commandments.<br/><br/> Money in the form of interest-bearing debt has been an obvious source of majority of our problems for so long that the show must be making even the Devil bored, so it is probably just a matter of the moment when will somebody decide to publicly stand against the endless broadcasting of that absurd tragicomedy. Or maybe we are just stepping over the threshold of transition from socio-economic monetary paradigm that is ruling this planet, into some completely different and better future that We the People will build according to our taste?<br/><br/> In fact, our common primary problem is not the quantity of money, but the democratic control over its creation and distribution. Since, in principle, the problem never represents the problem itself but a reaction to it; the Crom Alternative Exchange Association informs the public that it will soon; in an attempt to entirely eliminate unnecessary ugly “surprises” that life often brings us, i.e. constant repetition of always the same mistakes that we have been making for centuries and have repeatedly failed to learn from them for some mysterious reasons; open an alternative monetary-financial system of a global-local character oriented towards the cooperative economy and protection of life and nature through which the organization will endeavor – via monetary sovereignty, financial independence and satisfactory level of self-sufficiency - to give a chance of choice and expression to each reality, starting from the lowest classes.<br/><br/> Will we continue to march blindly on the path of self-destruction like zombies in a Hollywood conspiracy movie, or will the common sense and logic prevail at the end, mostly depends on the outcome of the invasion on the collective human mind that is currently happening in all segments of the common social everyday life. Undoubtedly, the key question is will the masses start absorbing information of this and similar type, or will they continue to ignore them.<br/><br/> Independent of monetary and political decisions and influences of the world leaders, events on the bond and stock bourses, declines in the financial derivatives markets and speculations on “national” currencies; '<a href="http://cromalternativemoney.org/"><strong>Payment System And Social Network – Crom Alternative Currency</strong></a>' electronic platform represents a simple and easy understandable transparent concept that connects businessmen and common people without territorial boundaries, offering them a sustainable substitution for imposed monopole – unsustainable conventional legal tender. Among other functionalities, within the above mentioned <a href="http://cromland.cromalternativemoney.org/"><strong>alternative currency</strong></a> system, there also exist products & services market, no interests loans and currency exchange.<br/><br/> Is the project really worth participating in, or everything smells like a cheap commercial trick already countless times seen?</span></p>
