Might want to contact him, he recently helped a transition group raise $100,000 through his radio show, link below to his show about the zeitgeist movement moving forward movie

They have over 3,000 members and he wants all transition groups to work together, and is looking for ways to achieve the transition as peacefully as possible. Atlas is what they need for this to happen.

I wonder if we could qualify for something like that. I was unable to bring up that second link. I did, however, send them a quick email so hopefully we will get a positive response back in the next few days.

EDIT: The charge for membership so I doubt they are quite to out level. Plus their movie in not available anywhere free either.

I notice there is an increasing number of organisations that charge for membership/PR material, it makes me suspect that like many green groups I've seen that have been around for a while with donations amounting to millions, it all seems to serve is to pay the fat wages of the people working there and does nothing to really change the world.

Chase here is the Collapse video:

The reason they were able to raise $100,000 is because they have paying members. Paying members are serious about helping a transition.

In marketing when buying a list of names one wants a list of people that have actually spent money on a similar product

I wonder what they plan to do with the $100k ?

Yes there is a lot to be paid for paying members, as EOS use that approach and it helps pay to keep the website running.

As long as the money is used for something useful..

saw the vidoe a few weeks ago.
His premise is shot on and can be simplified to the following model.

GDP output must increase to keep the pyramid scheme going.
Energy is not infinite and so the price of energy goes up, because the GDP demand more of it.
SO the two are in an increasing spiralling increase of supply / damns curve clashes.
So eventually it must collapse.
It non linear of course too, so its just a matter of time, and it seems to be approaching.

Cant change the law of physics, and so collapse must occur eventually.
SO the only way out is free energy or better energy conversion.
Heat pumps, Solar thermal , Solar PV etc etc.
But when you analysis the costs, lead times ( to replace existing fossil fuels) and other factors its hard to see this being realistic in time.

SO only solution is to take money out of the equation.
This has the effect of removing the pyramid scheme that is driving the steady GDP upwards curve.
Then flatten the energy demands over time. This will happen naturally as money is removed from the system.
Then increase production naturally. Once money is out and energy is the unit of measure for "GDP", so end up with an ability to increase the standard of living logarithmically.

---

SO Collapse net has a very sound basis for me.
But the fact thats its a business is a joke. There are tons of free hosting open source platforms outthere designed fro non profits. It allows them to use resources for free in the spirit of advancement.

SO i dont buy these organisations needing large amount of money.

One of the reasons they have a member fee is to help pay the full time staff that does research for them. It would be great if everyone could donate their time but until we are in a rbe it takes money for people to live. They are now approaching 4,000 members.

Michael has been praising the Zeitgeist movement and saying how we need an rbe. It would be great if we could work with him. Also we might be able to get Atlas' site added to his collapsenet.com site. He is adding sites that can help people during a transition.
