Deception Dollar #10- Latest Drafts
Here are drafts of the latest Deception Dollars. Blaine will send the final art to the printers tonight, so here is a last chance to catch mistakes, add/subtract ideas. I've posted fronts and backs of the 4 bills at my blog under August 19, 2007.
Version #10- Deception Dollar
Version #3 of the Billion Dollar Note
(Continued after the jump...)
Version #1 of the Conception Dollar
Because people are so afraid of the Truth, War, More Terrorist Attacks in the US, I thought it would be a good idea to have a Dollar promoting the paradigm shift which we all want to see... From the current administration using terror, war, fear, based on lies, to control and dominate the planet towards compassion, peace, love, based on truth to heal and free the world...
I am bumping the newdream website on the front of the Conception Dollar to be replaced with declarationofpeace.org http://declarationofpeace.org/ which is calling for non-violent actions nationwide September 14-21st- and hope that these will be popular with the Peace and Impeachment movements.
Also on the Conception Dollar is the date- J 1262008 January 26, 2008 which is a global day of action in opposition to the World Economic Forum- the regular date, now of the World Social Forum- but they are calling for Social Forums everywhere- and actions everywhere in 2008- rather than one big WSF in one particular country - so that website - http://www.wsf2008.net/ is also on the bill and World Social Forum is in the "edge words"...
I'm hoping all the Dollars will help to raise consciousness, bring together the social movements, unmask and elimnate state sponsored terrorism and empower people to create a better future for ourselves, our children, and all life.
If you have any great ideas please send them immediately. I do have to decide how many of each to print, so please if you want to get them in large quantity- by the case, please order them now through the Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance or any of the distributers, or become a distributer, yourself- or come up with a better flyer...

For those who don't know, this is one of the most useful tools in our arsenal. If you go out and about with a handful of these, they are the EASIEST things to give away. People, at first glance, think it's real money. On top of that, so many people come back asking for more because they want to hand them out because they're so "cool."

Maybe Change Conception
These are so great, I will definitely be ordering.
I have one suggestion. I know that conception rhymes with deception, but it may be more fitting to call it a dollar of hope or something similarly straight forward.
You work is marvelously creative!
Conception
Actually I think the word is perfect. I suspect that thousands of years ago men were jealous of women's life giving capacity. They formed secret societies, bonded through violence, and tried to exercise dominion over women, planet and life... through terror, violence, war, death.
I see birth as the most powerful response to the death-dealing dominator paradigm.
Conception is the moment prior to birth when an idea or egg comes into being, is fertilized, begins its life process. One of my favorite quotes is from Goethe:
"Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it."
Although, I've been wanting to print the Conception Dollars for over a year (for my 2006 Congressional campaign)- they have actually had a very long gestation period. I am more hopeful than ever that a merging of social movements is happening and that we can "abolish war- and stop state sponsored terrorism" and redirect human resources towards healing and making a better world for all. I can't tell you how glad I am that the art is finally finished (although- I can still see ways to improve it- but we're under time pressure- so it will do- it's the first one).
And I must admit that we put August 28, 2007 on the bill because it's my 50th birthday. It's also my youngest son's birthday, Goethe's birthday, and Camilo Mejia's birthday (and probably lots of other people's birthday, as well). So in some ways it is a celebration of life over death - hopefully heralding the triumph of truth over deception.
Another suggestion was to call it the "Perception Dollar" which I also like- but, I guess ,since I consider myself - a mother, more than anything else- I like the word/idea behind "Conception."

The Conception Dollar is Beautiful!
I love that idea! This is great that you8 are putting out the messengers and messages of beauty and peace that are here already and will be catalyzed by 9-11 Truth and Justice. It is the other side of 9-11 Truth, the incredible possibilities for healing change. Right now is a crucial moment to show those who are ecologically minded that facing into the "dark stuff" such as 9-11 Truth is the fast track, and potentially only track to widescale ecological restoration. I am writing a policy paper called "Permaculturalizing the Pentagon" to be implemented on the other side of 9-11 Truth and Justice. As I like to say, "9-11 Truth and Justice: the fast track to Constitutional, Cultural, Economic and Ecological Rejuvenation" Thank you for your work Carol! I think the deception dollar was probably the my first intro and inkling of 9-11 Truth.

These look fantastic Carol
I've always liked these, and the newest ones look awesome. That pic of Cheney is beyond sinister - a picture truly is worth a 1000 words in this case. What a horrific excuse for a human being. Great work!

ShadowPlay on the bill, that's absolutely fabulous!
