MANY OF US BELIEVE THAT THE MORE PURCHASING POWER WE HAVE, THE MORE WE ARE ABLE TO OBTAIN THE RESOURCES WE NEED TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP TO LIBERATION.

MOST OTHER NATIONALITIES ARE HURTING FINANCIALLY DUE TO THE GLOBAL ECONOMY CLIMATE, AND ARE OPEN TO NEW IDEAS AND SYSTEMS TO UPLIFT THEIR COMMUNITIES. JOBS ARE STILL FEW AND FAR BETWEEN, AND WITH RESPECTS TO SOME RELIGIOUS RADICAL COMMUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD, EVERYONE IS WILLING TO ALLOW JOB OPPORTU-
