listing the /guest_appearances/ files at poetpiet's place. --------
An introduction to, for and of some hands
full of large files, averaging 80K worth
(of text only)
each, coming to2Mb altogether
and sometimes part of 5, 4 or 2 fold wholes;
(zwei auf Deutsch
dabei). ----------- Files
filled with facts on long lost arts of constitut(ionaliz)ing
private and community currencies 1 symbolic,
2 subtle and
3 substantial.
The
subjects range from (inter)mediate currencies (symbolic yet
specific means to achieve social transparancy, value and norm harmonization)
and subtle
ones (paramagnetics;
metabolization of minerals, vitality, nutrition and fertility)
to immediate
forms of them (substantial;
tectonics and ice age directed distribution of minerals).
Proper
names and credits are given as far as available to me. Did you get all that?
A tiny recap: This
file is a central turnstile-station wherefrom to switchflip into the various
parts of this my first batch with guest appearances on the ponderous yet
flash subject: current issues and issues of currencies;
i.o.w.,
all sorts of currency
issues: symbolic,
subtle and substantial, (gl)and back
around again.
Most of
these writs (Roland Vaubel's and mine (on
Gesell) excepted),
concerning the evils of exclusive currencies, shown (if
not well enough known) to aid and abet crony
capitalisms (see Manuel Castells),
first appeared in and around the very same issue of an
international review in 4 editions, yes,
a quadlingual magazine from Geneva which still exists but with a very fragmented...eh...sorry,
"specialized" focus, contrasting starkly with back then when Milhaud was
holding the reins with people like Zander, Rittershausen and Beckerath
as correspondents/contributors.

the last publications on paper by John Zube, son of an
anarchist publisher, sole operator of: LMP (Libertarian
Microfiche Publishing) proud to outproduce
and outpublish anybody alive or dead. I guess
he pretty much managed just that on a per capita basis. His
production is up to (peace plan)-issue
number 1500-something or so they are still only a buck
a piece of peace and include a lot of uncategorizable and all too singularly
brilliant utopians, panarchists and couleur locale social reformers.
I would
like to say: thank you John, I think you deserve a Nobel Prize for 'preservation
and proliferature' (however useless without
the concommitant popularization but after Y2K hits praps they'll finally
order some fiche through the snail mail :))
in fairly honest but heartless communication theory; your spectacular hopes
for 'prominention' are well appreciated, at least by me, but now look what
you done; we have an internet to accuse you of Godfathering! (too
long gone since the beginning of the race to tell who has lapped who how
many times over but start somewhere you did)
It would be true irony if orders for your fiche flood in from tribal quarters...rather

A note
about the author: Walter
Zander survived the war in exile (England) from Germany and proceeded to
become a Zionist thereafter, probably not before being disillusioned with
currency issues.
But
his work is once again if not still a hot current issue, see for yourself........ 'Zander
verzandde in het hebreews woestijnzand' meaning: Zander bogged and
mired down (got stuck) in dry desert sand but now he got lucky. An incarnation
of Lawrence of Arabia (I look a little bit like him, love motorcycles too
but hate flaggelation or whatever he was into)
Table of content: 1. The Monetary Chaos. 2. Disadvantages of Devaluation. 3. Disadvantages of Foreign Exchange Legislation 4. Inadequacy of Compensation and Clearing
Agreements 5. Need for Stable Standards of Vahe and for
Removing Restrictons to Scttlement Operations. 6. Falsifying the Gold Standard through Banknotes
being Legal Tender. 7. Compulsory Acceptance a Relative Novelty. 8 Compulsory Acceptance establishes the Dependence

Inflation. 10. The Gold Standard as Gold for account. 11. Is the Inconvertibility of Notes incompatible

Very good !!!
And now, ladies and gents,
may I ask, nay beg most humbly for your extra-specially rapt attention
for the sort of document which will have to be written and read again if
all else fails. And it sure did but so did
I; I could have gone on, while I was there(during
a rainbow gathering held in a purportedly (second WW) massacred and since
abandoned Slovene mountain village)deeper
into yugoslavia to try and find some translators for all of these works
I have displayed on such occasions (without,
suprise suprise, receiving much attention from the blissed out hippies).
Beckerath (Bth) on detente and
disarmament issues
>>>>*****(80K)****<<<<Excerpt
from one of the first and few publications on paper about the threat of
nuclear war, by JOHN ZUBE
(Bth was his mentor), who thereafter went 'FICHING',
Some sample of his
writings in German
appearing here: //members.tripodnet.nl/vadercats/Deutsch.htm They are taken from
4000 pages comprising a 40 piece peace-plan fiche batch by John Zube,one
he sold me in a San Franciscan hotel room almost decades ago.... (My
attempt to help work on the second batch failed;see
a file called: "heavy heaves...." for some silly gossip and hopefully succesful
forewarning to accompany and arm ensuing attempts) and
contain correspondence between Beckerath and a number of people like Rittershausen,
a well known professor and prolific author of lexica and textbooks, all
of which are a lot less radical than the document cited in full here.
In my
eyes...err..ears rather, Beckerath was an unsurpassed composer of
cadence and meaning; the former quite lost in these, and surely in any,
translations.... unfortunately; the London translater: G Spiller is therefore
much less to blame than to thank which I hereby (posthumously?) do of course.
I will close this section with a much fresher follow up, a recent
effort on the scores so well kept in the foregoing files:
Roland
Vaubel on currency unification strategies; the summary of
his 400+ page academic tome VI SUMMARY: EIGHT ADVANTAGES OF THE PARALLEL
CURRENCY APPROACH
You may also go see the
pamphlet he concocted with 4 others and had signed by hundreds of economists
against pushing an across the board and sweeping introduction of the Euro
