Skeptic Project

Why does he have a "cool smiley" next to the $3.72? It reminds me of the days when I rejoiced over $10 dollar allowance.

"The Zeitgeist Foundation for Funds requires no money and a few minutes to handle. every kid can apply it."

"By the way as we speak and debating the available funds almost doubled now at $5.37. pheww you're toughs all of you."

Part of me wants to give them $50 just to see how it'd get stolen, embezzled, or "spent".

A moderator just said this:

We will not support you this project, please change the name of your foundation, you will not be supported by the TZM or TVP, do not use our materials nor the Venus Project Materials in your split off group or legal actions will be taken.

That kid must be pissing his pants.

What's going to happen with all of that money? Will it be returned to each of its donors?

Hey, its almost as if I never left :-)

I love what "moderator34" had to say about it:

> Do you have a website for this yet, overall this is not good idea, We are not raising
> funds at this time. You need to be non-profit organization to do that, and that is big
> hassle, takes allot time and hard to do with just a few members.

And:

> We will not support you this project, please change the name of your foundation,
> you will not be supported by the TZM or TVP, do not use our materials nor the Venus
> Project Materials in your split off group or legal actions will be taken.

Reminds me of this recent thread:

But alas, moderator12 says:

So..

> We are not raising funds at this time.

But didn't Fresco just say to go out and ask corporations for money in his latest video ?

And what better place to start, before doing that, is to ask your own 400,000+ membership..

> You need to be non-profit organization to do that

Why ?

Whats wrong with a for profit, or even a not-for-profit approach ?

I looked at non-profit organizations and it appears in the UK at least, you need more board staff members, you have more restrictive rules on what you can and cannot do, and is likely to handicap one quite a lot, even if it does come with tax benefits..

A sole trader could be a much easier option for someone starting up I reckon.

> We will not support you this project

Why not ? (TZM appears to support every other half baked standing around signing a petition whilst at a rally type project anyone cares to come up with, but suddenly when money is mentioned its not allowed..)

Perhaps someone should mention that VTV manages quite well to ask for money and get approval, so money can't be all bad can it!

> ask Peter for approval before posting again.

I thought Fresco was in charge ?

I wonder when this new rule was created, I don't recal hearing it before..

So all I have to do to help is ask Peter if its ok, and wait for his approval..

Does that mean I have to ask Peter before I can speak to VTV and offer my help.. ?

And this is a movement "with no leaders."

I'd like to see bkyle's comment on this.

Someone's gotta raise the gavel.

You will be sued by the attorneys of people who do not exist.

Did anyone get a screenshot?

Maybe we need to have a database of ZM topics that prove their assertions are untrue.

I'm pretty sure the thread is still open on my laptop at home. If it is, I will take a screenshot when I get off work.

$5.37??! Circular City, here we come!
