Dear Venus Project and Zeitgeist Movement People of the World

http://www.zeitgeistaustralia.org/forum/topic/making-the-venus-project-a-reality-by-actions-not-words
We need to get things started. Humanity can no longer be appeased nor can it survive by words alone. I don't know exactly how long ago Mr. Fresco started to spread his message (the first thing I have seen was dated 1974) so almost 40 years of pretty much just words. There have been made, small communities built with the Resource Based Economy in mind but not with the technological aspect in mind. Even the Show Case of the Venus Project outside of Venus Florida was built by the sweat and muscle of the human hand. I am disappointed in not seeing anything happening. To start this off I am not denouncing any of the following projects because I may not have all the information. It's kind of hard for me to find all the pertinent information with our current level of organization. When I went to the Venus Project Design website I thought I would find diagrams and perhaps working blueprints of a true Venus Project city. I thought the same thing when I went to the Atlas City Project's website. What I've seen at The Venus Project Design was they were mainly concerned with making movies. At least the Atlas Project is trying to build a city. However I still didn't find a working blueprint, plus that is a local project for New Zealand.

I am now making this call to build in the Atlantic between South America and Africa a true Venus Project Sea City, to be built in the Venus Project manner. I am making a call to all the Venus Project/Zeitgeist Movement's members who are civil, chemical, structural engineers and architects, scientists, software developers, everyone who can come together to design this Sea City. A Sea City able to sustain one million people and not just sustain but built to grow and expand. So I also call on the teachers and doctors of the movement, so we can also build laboratories and factories to continue the growth of technology as well as the population. No city, village, commune or whatever you want to call them, that says it is a Venus Project model can succeed. A true Venus Project city or village can not succeed within the boundaries of a nation because of that nation's laws. No commune will work because it's to small and will offer no credibility. There are many communes now and the general population of the world thinks they are just a bunch of separatist crazies. People, even after all these years, think that about Mr. Fresco just because his area outside Venus Florida is so small. With a Sea City, between South America and Africa in international waters, we can make it an Αστυ (Asty) City-State. I picked this location for two reasons. Everyone wants things built in their own backyard and as I stated earlier, anything built within the confines of a national border is doomed to fail. The second reason is that once the Sea City is operational we would be in the position, as an Αστυ to offer aid (TRUE AID) to the two most impoverished continents on the planet and in so doing speed along the transition phase in a healthy, efficient manner.

One of my personal ideas for speeding along the transition phase is the production of precious and semi-precious gem stones. Companies have been producing in factories diamonds, rubies and force growing pearls for decades now. Since such things have no value for us, we can produce them and give them away to the poor of South America and Africa. They will be able to sell them as they see fit, to gain the purchasing power they need to upgrade their quality of life. Then after time, when that market is flooded with our product, it will lose all value and fail. The options are endless. With proper technology we can do the same thing with automobiles, for who would want to BUY a polluting, unsafe automobile when they can get something much better from us for free. The end result would be the same, after time the market will be flooded then fail. With our production power we will be able to fabricate other Sea Cities based on this template, centered around the World's poor. Perhaps one in the East Indian for the people of south Asia.

It is one thing to say that a better way is possible, it is quite another thing to SHOW that a better way exists. When people see what we have built then we will hear an outcry like never before and our numbers will swell far beyond the small 400,000 that we have now. The nations of the World will not be able to stop it. Also as a result the true enemies of humanity will come into the light and they will be unable to stop it, because they are few and we are many. I know to some, like new people who are just now finding out about us, that my words might sound inflammatory. Believe me, that was not my intent, I am just a man who has had enough. To those who have been members for awhile and know the movement and the purpose, I hope I struck a cord within you. The time for talk will soon be ending. The time for action has been here for far too long. If you are a member of any of the professions I listed earlier or are in a profession that I have overlooked and feel that you can contribute to the design of a Venus Project Sea City, contact me at chrislar@yahoo.com. I will organize all the information and get everyone in contact with each other. Then together we can get to work. I am just posting this on the chapter forums I'm a member of plus the international forum. If you know of anyone who you think would be interested feel free to forward this at your discretion. A truly heart felt thank you to all the VP/ZM members who are working to make our dreams a reality.
