Also, After I start accumulating more interest than I need I would start sharing the wealth, giving to charities and people in need. |

A place where people can begin to free themselves of the chains over their minds. I would divide it up into different sections with paths leading to each area. Where we can begin to learn what was lost. Medicinal/Herbal/Shamanism section, Yogic & Ancient energy body section, Music and Arts section. Permaculture gardens, Entheogenic gardens, Self sustainable food, water and energy (as much as possible)Huge library full of books. Where truth seekers could come, share and learn knowledge about geometry, astronomy, shamanism, herbalism, self sufficiency, music, painting. Meditation gardens, Stages for music jams.

Some have some humor in them, others are very deep. It is getting late, and I said I would crawl in to bed around midnight and it is pushing near 2am, so I will have to read more over coffee in the morning. I really hope others are reading all the posts as well. I have noted the ones that have said they would "Pay it forward" and the others that gave a view in to what life is like for them right now. The ones with humorous tones are just as valuable in this question I have posted. Always good to keep things bright. See ya in the morning. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1434530 United States 06/19/2011 09:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I would build my tiny, little cob house down on my 5 acres, sink a deep well, and put in hydroponic gardens. I could quit working and just work on my non-profit. Then, I would dump a million into my non-profit so that I could stop the chemtrails in Texas (at least) and the targeting of people with implants and EM weapons in Texas (at least). If I could get Texas to pass some laws and get a task force together on this issue (experiments on humans and the environment), I would try to work on other states doing the same. I would take the rest of the money and put it into various places where it would be safe and/or get a good rate of return (small family owned banks and land with good water sources that I could sell.) Some of it I would just keep in cash in various places. Then, I would take the interest (never the principle) and use it to help the victims of DE torture hire reputable private investigators to document the signals coming from their bodies, and I would help them get forensic X-rays of the implants. We would use that to get state public hearings and get this abuse stopped. I would also test the water, soil, and air around various states to get investigations on the chemtrails spraying. We would do blood tests to show a correlation. If need be, we would hire big, ass, ethical lawyers. I would also buy a piece of land in Uruguay or somewhere down south in case a bunch of us have to get out of dodge. I would also get my own PI license (might have to do a bit more school). Some of the interest on the principle could be used to help these victims with food, housing, etc. -- they have been made so destitute from the targeting. |

Next I would hire a manager for my busness so I could spend time and a good portion of the remaining money trying to get elected to the state house of rep. Why the state and not try for congress. Because the fed gov is a lost cause, we need the states to force a article 5 convention or sucede from the union. These things can't be done on the fed. level. |

Not some BS Charity but to someone that could REALLY REALLY USE IT. And lets just "Say" that you would end up getting it in the next 24 hours. What exactly would you do with a sudden 5MIL in your lap? I would take 2 years away from my Successful business and spend every single dime on charitable social enterprise ventures, I would publicize globally the fact that a stranger gave me 5 million US dollars and I did not spend a penny off it on myself with the view to motivating others to do and act likewise. At the end of the two years I would leave behind a foundation which generates revenue through social enterprise, is self sustainable and educational, perhaps a not for profit restaurant with visiting Michelin star chefs and culinary school with a organic farm that helps homeless. low income, orphans etc . I would encourage Global Fortune 100 CEO's to spend a week volunteering for the foundation and charge them for the privilege of doing good deeds. If at any stage the foundation put an additional 2.5 million onto its books I will give away the 5 million in similar fashion and hope our collective faith in people will win through. Good luck and Namaste |

I want to make these experiments illegal, get state task forces together to take victim complaints and track the criminals down, and expose these crimes to the whole world. Maybe if the rest of the world realizes that the American people have been victims of war crimes (and economic crimes -- other crimes, too), they will only be mad at our government and not us. We are a controlled people. So, many activists are targeted and the general public is definitely poisoned and manipulated with psychological operations and electro-magnetic, influence weapons. They have had the technology to put subliminal voices into our radio and television transmissions since the 50s. There are over 7,000 "mind control" patents. It is inconceivable that some of these inventions are not in use in the U.S. and around the world. [email protected] |

Ozark User ID: 1089147 United States 06/19/2011 10:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Pay off Predatory mortgage on our farm that we are about to lose and trying to keep! Build an underground house with all the available technology to be self-sustaining and build an underground greenhouse, large enough to feed a lot of folks in our area. Would have to have enough room in house for folks young enough to do the labor in the greenhouse. Maybe a section for an aquaculture project inside also. We have a lot of storms up here and I really believe earth houses are a must. Would also have a section for some indoor beehives, opened to the outside. (protection from bears getting the beehives and storm damage) We'll work the bees until the young folk learn it!!!! An underground chicken coop would go on one end of it, with access to the outdoors. (we live in the country and need night time protection for chickens) It could be done for less than a million, so whatever is left, "you" could keep the remaining money and do as many projects of the same type in other areas. Once the actual structures were built, they would be self-sustaining and would start producing very quickly. You could run them like CSA's, folk's and children learn and do some work for produce, eggs or honey. A win/win for everyone involved.

Probably not your normal response. I don't expect 5 mil. But if you yourself, or anybody else here are looking for a million dollar idea you can take this and run with it. The sky is the limit especially with so many people gardening nowadays. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1434530 United States 06/19/2011 10:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I guess what I am saying is I would definitely use some of the initial monies to become free of working a regular job. I would not need much to live by living on my land in a tiny, little cheap house. The rest would be invested or saved in a way that there would always be a perpetual rate of return in interest or profit so that I could use the extra monies generated in a non-profit lobbying organization to stop these experiments on humans and the environment. Once I became a PI, I would be able to make a good living without dipping into the original monies or interest. I want to do bug sweeping and signals tracking for very large companies so that I can work only a couple of months out of the year and use the rest of my time for the non-profit. But, the non-profit comes first. If I can build it into a big non-profit so I get a salary, I would only work for the non-profit and use my PI license to track signals for the victims for free. Sorry, to talk so much. This was a nice exercise. It helped me focus more precisely on what it is I should be working towards. Good thread. |
