The administrator ordered the leaders arrested, and the crowd protested. <br /><br />The Portuguese administrator ordered his pre-assembled troops to fire on the crowd, and then many more were thrown to their death into a ravine. The number of dead is in dispute. <br /><br />However, resentment generated by these events led ultimately to independentist guerrilla FRELIMO gaining needed momentum in the outset of the Mozambican War of Independence (1964–1975).[6]The site of the massacre is marked by a commemorative statue.<br /><br /><br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mueda#Massacre_of_MuedaSmith Mill Creek Noteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01154949712573311710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4693676182037215922.post-20029770001720561232013-04-06T23:08:52.123-04:002013-04-06T23:08:52.123-04:00http://bigthink.com/book-think/shelley-in-egypt-ho...http://bigthink.com/book-think/shelley-in-egypt-how-a-british-poem-inspired-the-arab-springAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4693676182037215922.post-12748406562993550922011-02-24T22:28:58.064-05:002011-02-24T22:28:58.064-05:00April 29th - May 1st 2011, Malibu, CA

I question their legal preparation. Going to the "police station" before launching your currency program is not the right idea. You need to go to a qualified tax and securities lawyer.<br /><br />Barter currency is legal in the United States and the IRS won't cause you a problem as long as you fill out your 1099 B form. People need to report their taxes. <br /><br />The IRS is foolish not to accept alternate currencies for taxation, but they're glued to the Fed. That's their loss. But, I believe U.S. policies will change. The Fed operates a currency that is inherently unstable. <br /><br />The United States government only has the power <b>To</b> coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures; and, <b>To</b> provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States...<br /><br />These powers are granted to the U.S. government. This does not explicitly state that local currencies are illegal - a common misconception. Additionally, many new currency programs are virtual, which might mean they have to abide by Electronic Funds Transfer Act, but otherwise they are in their own legal classification. <br /><br />The point is <b>PAY YOUR TAXES</b>. Don't tell businesses to give change in the alternative currency unless the consumer paid in the alternative currency. In the meantime, this limits local currency to being complementary to the U.S. Dollar. However, once the Federal Government realizes that these new currency models are for their own good, just watch them become early adopters. <br /><br />I'll need to look into the Liberty Dollar more to understand why they were shut down, but I would say poor judgement, bad preparation, wrong purpose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4693676182037215922.post-16497278412040978612009-06-06T22:16:09.737-04:002009-06-06T22:16:09.737-04:00I think Unistat has a legit fear of alternate curr...I think Unistat has a legit fear of alternate currencies right now, precisely for the reasons you mention. THe economists screwed up the dollar, but the governent needs to be able to tax you. A barter-bux gray market could avoid taxation, seems to me.
