The "Micro" Revolutions Institute(SM) Established by Carbon Manna Unlimited in San Diego, California


The "Micro" Revolutions Institute(SM) was established today by Carbon Manna Unlimited in San Diego, California, the world's first think tank to focus exclusively on developing novel, sustainable, open-source, low-cost and immediately implementable micro-economic, micro-financial and micro-ecological paradigms to benefit the Developing World.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) April 22, 2010 --

Carbon Manna Unlimited in San Diego, California, an international non-profit "micro" standards-setting organization, announced today the establishment of the "Micro" Revolutions Institute(SM), the world's first think tank to focus exclusively on developing novel, sustainable, open-source, low-cost and immediately implementable micro-economic, micro-financial and micro-ecological paradigms or mechanisms to benefit the Developing World.

By ideating and promulgating multiple open-source and revolutionary micro-paradigms, the Institute will enable economic micro-empowerment of "The Next 2+ Billion" at the Base of the Pyramid by, for example:

(1) Popularizing NON-debt-based, cell-phone-enabled "micro" financial instruments, such as Equity Manna(SM), which will allow the Poor to directly invest in micro-equity -- micronized stocks, ETFs, hard assets (gold) or other economic stores of value -- and, thus, control their own financial fate;

(2) Liberating children and women from religious oppression by developing cell-phone-based, remote micro-education or micro tele-education curricula;

(3) Disintermediating middlemen from economic processes by using existing cell-phone-based and low-cost mobile money transfer (MMT) systems;

(4) Providing advertiser-supported crop-price information free to poor farmers via SMS to eliminate gross price-discovery frictions;

(5) Increasing the use of broadcast SMS (short message service) to convey public health messages to the Poor where little or no TV or radio broadcasting capability exists, e.g., for notification of vaccine campaigns, and rewarding compliant families with cell-phone minutes or airtime -- another economic and non-inflatable store of value

(6) Encouraging global political recognition of the micro-property rights of the Poor, e.g., even in the case of their carbon footprints and offsets; and

(7) Advocating worldwide implementation of Carbon Manna Unlimited's existing sustainable micro innovations in the areas of Micro-PROFIT-Sharing, Micro-SAVINGS, and solar and forestry projects, as well as adoption of Carbon Manna Unlimited's Foreign Aid Micro Credit (FAMC) concept in the Developing World during times of national emergencies.

Thomas Ichim, a Carbon Manna Unlimited board member commented, "Individuals wishing to augment their family's philanthropic legacy are invited to sponsor Carbon Manna's revolutionary and universally-applicable micro-paradigms, several of which represent a quantum leap in innovation compared to the first "micro" financial mechanism (micro-debt or micro loans), which won the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize and the U.S. Presidential Medal in 2009."

The "Micro" Revolutions Institute(SM) will also administer the “Micro Sustainability Prizes(SM)” competition -- the world’s first truly open competition to encourage the invention of other sustainable and markets-based micro economic and micro-ecological mechanisms that directly benefit the Poor. Only a 1-page Executive Summary is needed to enter the competition. School children worldwide, in particular, are encouraged to participate, and anyone may enter, regardless of educational qualifications or socio-economic status. Reference:

Finally, Carbon Manna Unlimited is pleased to announce the filing of its 501(c)3 petition with the IRS on 16 March 2010, via the kind pro bono offices of the law firm of Latham & Watkins in San Diego. Our special thanks and appreciation go to Latham attorneys Ms. Nicole Baker, Mr. Div Gupta, and Ms. Kendra Archer (now retired).


About Carbon Manna Unlimited:

Carbon Manna Unlimited, a public charity, is a "micro" think-tank and international open-source standards-setting organization popularizing various universally-applicable, cell-phone-based, self-funding micro-economic paradigms such as the markets-based Carbon Micro-PROFIT-Sharing System (CMPSS) and the Reduced-fuel-expense Micro-SAVINGS Program. A pilot project that will utilize these concepts is now in the early planning stage in Kogelo, Kenya, the ancestral hometown of U.S. President Barack Obama. Reference:

"The Micro Revolutions Research Institute(SM)" -- Visionary Past as Productive Proactive Prolog ?

**

"The intellectually bankrupt MFIs, like dust..."

Counter-Revolutionary Micro Thinkers welcome at The Micro Revolutions Institute(SM) in San Diego

Macro Freedoms from Micro Innovation


Worldwide there is no organization nor institute nor academic department nor NGO nor charity nor government unit nor for-profit company actively ideating and innovating novel MARKETS-based, sustainable, NON-debt-based forms of microfinance, or micro economic paradigms, or micro-wealth-transfer or micro-income-generation mechanisms.

There are, however, indeed 1,000s or tens of 1,000s of NGOs, charities, academics and MFI organizations worldwide hopelessly mired in the Deep Debt Rut from Dhaka, singing choruses of sycophantic praise for interminable and minute permutations of micro-debt, and likewise completely bankrupt in imagination and resolutely resourceless.

Kenya alone, a "small" country the size of France with less than 40 million residents has over 4,000 registered charities -- 1 for every 10,000 people. India has over 1 million registered charities -- 1 for 1,200 people ! And allll these charities have their hands out for donations to support their infinitely duplicative overhead & adminstrative budgets.

Yet where is their innovation in the field of NON-debt-based microfinance or microeconomics?

In macro contrast, over the past 2 years, only Carbon Manna Unlimited in San Diego has invented and described in detail -- in the pubic domain -- multiple and novel forms of NON-debt-based micro-finance. We embrace "creative micro destruction" -- so why don't you ? Even destruction of our own ideas.

Thinking expansively, all economic progress since Sumerian times has begun with Individual Freedom and Property Rights. Thus Carbon Manna Unlimited's focus the past 18 months on the novel concept of "micro property rights" -- beginning with the "Sovereign Individual's" right (anywhere worldwide) to own, control and monetize their own Micro Carbon Footprint.

From divinely granted and legally protected Micro Property Rights spring Micro Free Will, Micro Political Choice, and Micro Democracy. Hence, all Macro Progress in the Developing World depends substantially on Micro Property Rights and Micro Economic Freedoms -- concepts that will also be broadly addressed by The Micro Revolutions Research Institute(SM).


To wit -- here are today's relevant Tweets re-published for Posterity:


The innovations of "The Micro Revolutions Research Institute(SM)" will stun millions of MFI minions stuck in the Deep Debt rut from Dhaka

"The Micro Revolutions Institute(SM)" to be established in San Diego, California -- May 2010

***

World's first "Micro Economic Think Tank(SM)" to brainstorm novel & Sustainable Micro Paradigms to economically elevate "The Bottom Billion"


The gist can be found here in today's Tweets:


(1) Carbon Manna(SM) will establish "The Micro Revolutions Institute(SM)" in San Diego next month - another world first. Why us ....?

(2) Because the 1,000s of micro "professionals" worldwide stuck in the Deep Debt Rut from Dhaka can't "Think Different" - only parrot the past

(3) Will a Nobel Prize ever be given again for "innovations" in DEBT-based micro-finance ? "History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme"


In short, "The Micro Future(SM)" can be found now in San Diego -- not in Bangladesh, not in India, not in New York City, not in Washington, DC, not in Nairobi, not in London, not in... __________ <<-- add your favorite ossified metropolis or country here.

With all due respect & jocularity I remain, as always,

Carbon wolves in Carbon Manna(SM) sheep's clothing

**

Hello CarbonManna Illuminati --

In response to feedback from one of the Carbon Manna(SM) group members on LinkedIn.com who did not CC me on his correspondence the past few months with people in Kenya -- that's his fault -- I want to make it very clear that NO ONE worldwide is now actively working on a "Carbon Manna" project approved & supported by us at Carbon Manna UNLIMITED HQs here in San Diego.

If you are interacting with anyone worldwide who claims to be implementing the Carbon Manna(SM) System invented by David Palella at Carbon Manna UNLIMITED in San Diego, you should verify the facts by contacting me directly.

If in doubt, then CC me on alllll your correspondence related to "Carbon Manna" or "Carbon Micro-PROFIT Sharing" or "Carbon Micro Credits", and I will chime in to set the record straight, if needed.

And, again, the only bonafide legal entity working on the Carbon Manna(SM) System is our legal entity here in San Diego -- Carbon Manna **UNLIMITED**.

Any other company in the world with the words "Carbon Manna" in its name is an unauthorized imposter, fraud, and is violating our international trademark on "Carbon Manna(SM)".

Avoid these cunning carbon carpetbaggers & occult opportunists at all costs.

Globally & warmly yours,
