Jacque Fresco - Venus Project, Florida - 27 December 2008 - Memory Metal - 1 of 2
We visited Jacques Fresco and Roxanne Meadows, at the Venus Project in Venus, Florida, on 27 December 2008. In this section Jacque is discussing and demonstrating Memory Metal. http://www.thevenusproject.com Jacque Fresco is an industrial designer, author, lecturer, futurist, inventor, and a pioneer in the field of human factors engineering, based in Venus, Florida, USA. Fresco has worked as both designer and inventor in a wide range of fields spanning from biomedical innovations to totally integrated social systems. He believes his ideas would maximally benefit the greatest number of people and he states some of his ideas stem from his formative years during the Great Depression. In the mid-1970s, he started The Venus Project and the non-profit organization Future by Design together with Roxanne Meadows, that reflects the culmination of Frescos life work. To this day he writes and lectures extensively on subjects ranging from the holistic design of sustainable cities, energy efficiency, natural resource management and advanced automation, focusing on the benefits it will bring to society. A major theme of Fresco's is the concept of a resource-based economy that replaces the need for the scarcity-oriented monetary economy we have now. Fresco argues that the world is rich in natural resources and energy and that — with modern technology and judicious efficiency — the needs of the global population can be met with abundance, while at the same time removing the current limitations of what is deemed possible due to notions of economic viability. He gives this example to help explain the idea: "At the beginning of World War II the U.S. had a mere 600 or so first-class fighting aircraft. We rapidly overcame this short supply by turning out more than 90,000 planes a year. The question at the start of World War II was: Do we have enough funds to produce the required implements of war? The answer was No, we did not have enough money, nor did we have enough gold; but we did have more than enough resources. It was the available resources that enabled the US to achieve the high production and efficiency required to win the war. Unfortunately this is only considered in times of war." Fresco states that for this to work, all of the Earth's resources must be held as the common heritage of all people and not just a select few; and the practice of rationing resources through monetary methods is irrelevant and counter-productive to our survival.Category: Education

In case anyone was interested....This was the exact theory that was used in creation of the "Memory Metal" in the "UFO Roswell Crash" of 47' I believe it was. People said that they recovered metal that you could crush and it would form back to it's original state. A whole series of books were created stating that "UFOS" were in fact man-made technology that was begun in 1928 and eventually came to fruition in the 1940s and 50s.

They could have built 5000 extruded houses with the left over metal from the WTC. Instead, we built a war ship......George Soros and the rest of satan's army will profit either way.

That's probably get him killed. :P Just like everyone else who tried to tell us to be kind to one another. I'd say maybe in a perfect world, but in a perfect world everyone would already know! Haha. At least we have the Internet. :)

He wouldn't agree ...
He wouldn't agree with "billions of people can never be" ... Since he doesn't believe in the "smart" gene, and that people and what they know are a result of their culture...

The only problem is ...
The only problem is that the profit system won't allow for that - the automobile repair industry, that employs millions and makes billions each year would go bust - making unemployment on a massive scale... thus dropping consumption and breaking the economy. Efficiency, sustainability and abundance are enemies of profit. This is why the monetary system needs to go!

YES - he talked about just that- making cars (I just didn't film all of what he said -- we were there for 4 1/2 hours.. )

Amazing. And why aren't we actually seeing this technology being used to benefit us? Greed and Money. This genius needs to have a LOT more media coverage right now! Spread the word!
