Tehran, YJC. OWS activist says that the people of America are preparing for the fall of the US government by reducing their dependence.
Occupy Wall
Street activist Margaret Flowers in interview with Nedaye Enghelab has said
that by
taking measures that increase their independence, the people of
American are preparing for the day when economic hardship collapses the United
States.
There are a
number of local currencies being used, for example, in Baltimore where the
BNote circulates. So people are preparing themselves for life in a state of
economic crisis, said Flowers.
The BNote is local currency – real money
that can be used for any local transaction in the Baltimore area. As of July
24, 2013, over 35,000 BNotes have been exchanged into circulation and are being
accepted in communities across the city, the Baltimore Green Currency Association
says.
Over 210
independent businesses accept BNotes, and more are joining the network every
week.
