Sample Graphics for Inspiration<br />

Any one <strong>of</strong> these QR Code graphics can be reproduced<br />

in any size/quantity/combination or as<br />

a single image. AdamvsTheMan is an example<br />

<strong>of</strong> a single image and a single size being mass<br />

produced for a single effort/project (Rick and<br />

Carsen at LibertyStickers.com can help you<br />

with any effort. Simple to Complex.)<br />

Nick Explains:<br />

There are plenty <strong>of</strong> options out there if you want<br />

to track how many times your QR code has been<br />

scanned. You can use a public URL shortener<br />

like http://goo.gl that provides you with metrics<br />

or you can run your own. If you chose to use a<br />

public URL shortener, the system is taken care<br />

<strong>of</strong> for you, which could be good, or bad. If your<br />

Google account password is lost or stolen, you<br />

may not be able to recover it... or if your account<br />

is locked out for any reason, it might take<br />

a long time and many headaches before you can<br />

get back in.<br />

For many out there that have your own webservers,<br />

the clear and obvious choice is to run<br />

your own URL tracking system. The most robust<br />

and customizable option out there is also<br />

one <strong>of</strong> the easiest to install and run. Check out<br />

YOURLS to get you started. YOURLS has a plugin<br />

based architecture that allows you to easily<br />

add features that the base s<strong>of</strong>tware is missing.<br />

For instance, if you want to make URL shortening<br />

and tracking easy to use on your Word-<br />

Press blog, there is a WordPress plugin. More<br />

importantly, if you want to automatically create<br />

a QR code for each URL you create, just install<br />

the free QR code plugin. For a list <strong>of</strong> all <strong>of</strong> the<br />

known YOURLS plugins, head on over here. If<br />

you are uncomfortable around editing PHP configuration<br />

files, YOURLS is not for you. But, if<br />

you can follow directions, can understand basic<br />

PHP and know how to add users to MySQL with<br />

either command line or cpanel, its worth a shot<br />

to install your own URL shortener and tracker.<br />

Peace,<br />

The Screen shot below is <strong>of</strong> a 30 up mailing label<br />

sheet for a project we helped James Babb<br />

and friends with, Infiltration into the Occupy<br />

Philly effort (another example <strong>of</strong> what we can<br />

do nationwide... The Right gave us the TeaPartyExpress<br />

to play with and now The Left has<br />

provided us a Silver Platter heaping with young<br />

minds to be freed with the Occupy Wall Street/<br />

America/Planet big sister effort to the TeaParty).<br />

These labels went onto an Anarchist DVD created<br />

by CopBlock.org (Ademo & Pete) and<br />

Nick from CopBlockPodcast here in Arizona.<br />

We burned hundreds <strong>of</strong> the DVDs, placed this<br />

sticker on them (QR Code goes to Occupied-<br />

Now.org that was created by the Voluntarists<br />

in Philly), put them in a paper sleeve with our<br />

LOVEolutionary Bandit QR coded card and immediately<br />

sent them to James Babb for them to<br />

add whatever they wish to the packet. The DVD<br />

was a good introduction to voluntarism for the<br />

occupiers, but we are working on a new DVD<br />

featuring a lot <strong>of</strong> the current coverage so that we<br />

can BE CERTAIN to express our opinion to the<br />

thousands in the streets needing this perspective.<br />

So imagine the scene... Every 'occupying' laptop<br />

with a DVD player 'camping out', will have<br />

a few people watching the DVDs and everyone<br />

with a SmartPhone will be scanning the QR<br />

Codes.....<br />

BOOM SHAKALAKA.... "Injection<br />

<strong>of</strong> the libertarian infection<br />

into the bone marrow <strong>of</strong> the Occupy<br />

America effort,... for which there is<br />

no cure!"<br />

Soros and friends want to back up their 18<br />

wheelers <strong>of</strong> lemons to our Lemonade Stands in<br />

the streets... COOL! :)<br />

This is one <strong>of</strong> the many activist projects that we<br />

are working on now. The reason our efforts are<br />

successful is that we don't even start unless we<br />

have wide support for the concept from individuals<br />

that see the benefit for their own reasons.<br />

We then make every effort to make it easy for<br />

others to make use <strong>of</strong> the tools we created. And<br />

then.... we just stay out <strong>of</strong> the way... No Central<br />

Planning!<br />

November's activism will feature the simple<br />

idea <strong>of</strong>, as many activists as possible posting<br />

items for sale on Craigslist etc. that provide a<br />

discount if payment is in Silver. We will feature<br />

the "Silver Calculator" downloadable App for<br />

Android/iPhone/Blackberry in each post that<br />

will take place on a single day across the nation<br />

to introduce the planet to a real solution.<br />

We have been working on this for years :) www.<br />

LibertyTrade.net (imagine.... eBay and Craiglist<br />

features combined with the additional feature<br />

<strong>of</strong> selecting what currency/commodity can<br />

be used in the transaction :)<br />
