Greek Town Develops Bartering System Without Euro. Take notes so you can start your own buisness when the SHTF.
Greece continues along a path toward self-sufficiency that could very well see them break free from their debt servitude.

In the wake of their pillaging by international financiers, Greeks who have realized that protesting is likely to bring little relief have begun to implement barter systems to meet their local community needs. Through a combination of decentralization from the Euro, free markets, local cooperation, and the creation of a new currency based on productivity, markets like the one below in Volos are leading the charge to a restoration of the principles that build truly sustainable economies.

This is an encouraging sign, and one that is replicating throughout austerity-ridden economies the world over. International currencies are increasingly being rejected in the face of reduced living standards through inflation and outright theft by global banksters.

Americans would do well to learn from the truly revolutionary actions taken by individuals in deliberately collapsed countries, because if global (mis)managers have their way, a similar scenario is guaranteed to unfold in the United States.

If they can do it, why not us? We have farmer's markets set up all around in our county during the summer, and CSAs in lots of places too.

We'd all need to think about what our 'spendable' resources would be. I sew and crochet, my husband is a mechanical engineer, our son is a contractor. Given a year or two, this could spread to America and we could be living a lot leaner lives, but lives that seem to have some purpose.

My little ol country community has been doing this for well over 3 years.Every 3 months women get together with clothing,housewares and such and trade-out for things they need.

Also,barter for services...electric-plumbing-mechanic etc..
Also if your feild needs cut or fence work done.

Lots of folks are having hard times with work not being what it once was,a mother of 3 killed her children and herself after begging for food from local folks and Gov. programs not helping her.

This happened in a small town not far from me last year,that is so sad!I would have helped her little family if i would have been given the chance!

Right now I barter for around 20% of the stuff I need but I'm trying to push that figure much higher. I wish somebody could come up with like an ebay type website for bartering. Craigslist is not very efficient but does work for some things.

Barter intensifies it seems!

In Greece’s On Going Financial Collapse Bartering Emerges In Greek Towns

Remember this can come to America. Please stock on necessities you and your family need to survive.

Plus purchase cigarettes, low shelve liquor (and some top shelf), medications (anti-biotics, depressants, antacids, etc.) for when things turn into a bartering economy here.

They won't allow that. The same banker elite who is behind pushing the destruction of Europe, is also behind the economy of Greece. The moment bartering starts on a large scale, they will make it illegal and put a few people in prison.
Yes, the 1% of human beings who rule us, CAN do that.

They already tried it in the US. Remember the Liberty Dollar?
One fine day, the FBI slaves that are owned by the Rothshilds, just walked into the offices of the Liberty Dollar enterprise, captured all the computers, and put the people behind bars.

You can't mafia-run your town without having your own enforcement-squad now, can ya?

yeah scratching monkeys...in fact a couple of studies demonstrates that monkeys get avid and pursuit antisocial behavior when a money system has been gave to them to get what they want.


so money as many not material idea change the way to considering reality

get asked to kill one man that will put most humans in severe crisis

but if I ask you to just to erase names from a list to send them to die....that make things very easy
