Which brings us to today. The cheaters seem to be in control. They
tell you that nothing can be done without following their rules or
using their money. This means that you, along with all the other
ordinary people, are unwittingly working to benefit them. Or more
plainly, when you let their rules control you, you are in servitude,
and those precious coins are your TAGS!

And yet-- NOW THERE IS A WAY OUT.

Because even puff pigeons can only be pushed so far. In their
avarice, the cheaters have ground down too hard. They have increased
their criminal exactations to the point where they cannot be
ignored. Discontent and frustration are rising. More and more people
are asking why it should be this way.

But they ask without expecting an answer. Deep down inside they know
that they will never get one.

The people are ready to be shown the way out. And there are now
volunteers who have stepped forward to show them.

Today, there is a small but growing number of people who have
rediscovered the benefits of direct trade, beyond the limited
possibilities implied by the word "barter". They have broken out of
the puff pigeon mindset and learned that direct trade is actually
the key to prosperity and liberty.

They have rediscovered BROKERISTICS.

This is not about revolution, that's just more fighting to put
different chiefs on top of the system. This is about leaving the
system entirely, and having no one on top.

Everywhere, in scattered communities, in twos and threes, you will
find people who reclaiming their rights. They are arranging their
own financial affairs, not worrying about rules or coins.

These people have experienced an increase in their living standards
and an increase in self confidence and self respect. Their success
is beginning to attract attention which helps get the word out. Only
a few at a time have the courage to join in, but enough fews add up
to a multitude.

There are even some local leaders who have turned away from the
system, refusing to participate any longer. They have returned to
the ways of the chiefs of old as guardians of the people. They have
stood against the rapacious methods of the corrupt national chiefs
sometimes to their own cost.

And once again, there are BROKERS. Real brokers who can nurture the
people and guide them along the way to freedom and fairness.
