Hello,

This will be the final post on this website.

From now on, the Jacque Fresco Education Network will serve as an open, freely accessible archive of Jacque Fresco’s work—as complete as we could make it, given the limitations of the Internet. Some links will break over time, especially YouTube videos. But we’ve done our part to preserve what matters, though of course we are always open, if anyone finds any new material by him.

As long as The Venus Project remains trapped in monetary dependence, greed, top-down thinking, and a closed-off structure, this archive will stand as the clearest and most faithful presentation of Jacque's core vision: a world beyond politics, poverty, and war.

We’re not ending this project with sadness—but with maturity and clarity.

Over the past year, we’ve paused our activity, watching carefully to see how things would unfold after the split between The Venus Project and Designing the Future.

We hoped Designing the Future might carry the torch—that they might evolve into a serious engine for developing and spreading the ideas of a resource-based economy.

But it’s become clear they’ve stalled.

Despite being told that the task of remaking a presence of RBE ideas in the English speaking internet will be very hard, after years of TVP doing damage to it, and even being offered our experience, assistance and social media accounts to promote them, they have dismissed our help, with the same familiar tone of either joining their organisation as obedient volunteers that work for them, or being considered irrelevant to their self-absorbed, superior city on a hill mentality, that we saw in The Venus Project.

Once they have seen that we were indeed right, they were overwhelmed and went inward, where they have decided to retreat to what is familiar to them.

Their current activity is limited to Russian and Ukrainian social media channels focused on scientific literacy—not systemic redesign.

Their refusal to collaborate, even in the face of shared goals and mounting urgency, has left us disappointed, and even more convinced that Mr. Fresco was right.

Without a new worldview, and new values, even among RBE supporters, the same mentality of old returns: top-down control, gatekeeping, and a reluctance to evolve.

While these institutions stalled, the tools Jacque once envisioned began arriving: artificial intelligence, open automation, distributed infrastructure—technologies powerful enough to make the management of planetary resources both scalable and free from human greed.

AI is advancing faster than any of us predicted. Automation is reaching capabilities Fresco only dreamed of.

The conditions for a new kind of economy aren't coming—they’re already here.

What's missing is the political and philosophical framework to wield them wisely. We've chosen not to wait any longer. We're striking out on our own to reclaim the dream and carry it into the 21st century.

With that, we now announce the founding of:

The Accessist International

This is the next chapter. Not a fan group. Not a cult of personality.

A political and philosophical initiative that takes the best of Fresco’s vision, sheds its baggage, and prepares it for real, scalable implementation.

What is Accessism?

Yes, we know—Jacque didn’t like “-isms.” But we need a name for what we believe.

Something that distinguishes us not just from capitalism, but from the endless anti-capitalist alternatives that came before us—communism, socialism, anarchism, and their outdated solutions of nationalization, worker cooperatives, syndicalism and central planning.

Accessism is the belief that the necessities and opportunities of life—food, shelter, education, tools, healthcare, culture, in short, all of Earth’s resources are the common heritage of all the world’s people, that should be accessed, not owned.

It is the belief that in an age of automated systems, advanced computing, and open infrastructure, economic freedom means removing the gatekeepers, not reshuffling who gets to be one.

Why "Open Access Economy"?

We’ve chosen this term over “resource-based economy” for two key reasons:

Clarity – Outside of this movement, “resource-based economy” often brings to mind extractive states like Saudi Arabia, Russia, or Venezuela—countries whose wealth is built on selling raw materials, not sharing abundance.

Legacy – The term has been weakened by its association with the rigid, centralized, and personality-driven Venus Project, so we needed a fresh name, to not be associated with those that sadly let the dream fester and rot for so many years, and be mistakenly identified with those who have nothing to show for their work, after decades.

Open-Access Economy brings to mind open access journals, both created with the same goal, a realization that we cannot allow financial barriers to impede the use of the latest science to save and improve human lives, likewise, the Open Access Economy removes monetary barriers to survival, dignity, and growth.

And besides, open access economy is already used to describe a general RBE-like sharing economy among some resource-based economy followers.

Long term, we wish to align it with the academic use, and also absorb the scientific insight of thinkers that came after Jacque, as brilliant as he was.

Furthermore, seeing the explosive development of open-source technology in the past decades, which Jacque and Roxanne unfortunately rejected due to misunderstanding, and to prevent us being dependent on one point of failure which might grow static and ossified, like TVP or DTF, we have decided to add it's values and methodology to ours, so the technology that results will be open-source, decentralized and scalable.

And most importantly, it will be non-monetary.

What Happens Next?

The Accessist International is just beginning, and it is more than an organization—it is the crystallization of humanity's next phase of social evolution.

Our social media links have already been updated to reflect this shift, and we’ll be rolling out our new website in the coming weeks.

On that platform, and across every channel we can reach, we will share and develop the ideas of accessism, elevate competent thinkers and engineers that can bring our vision to reality, publish promotional materials and eye-opening articles for those that see the perils of automation if left in the claws of an outdated monetary system, and wishes instead to offer mankind a better future, and gather tools to help people transition their communities and countries—whether through gradual change or through the post-fascist collapse triggered by automation that Jacque foresaw.

To those who built the foundations we now stand upon—particularly Jacque Fresco, whose vision lit the path—we offer our deepest gratitude.

To those who will come after us, we promise to leave a world worthy of their highest aspirations.

“If you think we can't change the world, it just means you're not one of those who will.” ― Jacque Fresco

And if you believe a world without markets, without masters, without artificial scarcity is achievable—not in centuries, but in decades—then you’re already one of us.

Welcome to the Accessist International.

The team behind the Jacque Fresco Education Network

Liberation Begins With Access

Hello again friends, Now that the dust has fully settled with the scandal between the TVP board of directors, and the former Russian-speaking team, it is clear which side has time proven true.

The corrupted Venus Project has announced a fully realized transcription, and a site that is actively being worked on, only for half a year later, to have the transcription still unreleased, and the site at the same stage it was, a year ago. Once again, our fears have been proven true, and the same lack of transparency, and lack of visible progress is omnipresent in TVP.

Yevhen, while dishearted by the collapse of Jacque Fresco's visibility in the english-speaking internet, has continued to work on achieving progress, through his Designing the Future NGO(https://designing-the-future.org/en/), offering transparent, and clear funding goals, and a proper plan on what is to be done.

They have collaborated with figures within the smart city community, while also not shying away from even intrerupting collaboration for a period, while the situation becomes clearer.

Due to this, we now officially endorse our readers to help and donate to them, while we resume our regular broadcast of free Jacque Fresco material.

Thank you, The Jacque Fresco Education Network

Hello, You may have noticed we have not been that active in recent months.

We shall return to posting and finding more materials of Jacque Fresco, but until then, we have been active collaborating with the former TVP Russian-speaking chapter, in the recent fiasco you can read about in our recent posts.

Following the massive amounts of slander, stonewalling and corruption that was uncovered, the Russian-speaking chapter, with our encouragement and support, has finally decided to break ties with The Venus Project, and it's grotesque perversion of Jacque's ideas of abundance and technological/scientific progress into a New Age apocalyptic cult.

The result of this independence has been crystallized in the "Designing The Future" NGO, formed from the core of a team that, even in past years, has carried TVP's media efforts, while doing it in a descentralized and transparent way.

And we are proud to see this pragmatism and transparency present in their new endeavours as well, with their fundraising goals being small and goal-oriented, such as the one for their smart city conference participation, or to develop a media team, instead of the financial black holes that was TVP, and already spinning off projects to further showcase and develop Fresco's teachings, such as https://thechoiceisours.org/en/.

So we are proud to promote and support their efforts, and we encourage you to do the same at their website: https://designing-the-future.org/en/

A contact recently discovered a project created and developed by one of the crucial men in charge of the current Board of Directors, and de factor current leader of The Venus Project.

Started in 2012, Man of Tomorrow, to quote their webiste, was supposed to be "more than a film. It is an attempt to preserve and perpetuate the work of Jacque Fresco. In fact, to that it owes its origins. Man of Tomorrow is the result of years of researching and archiving materials related to the life of Jacque Fresco. Originally beginning as an effort to organize and preserve Fresco’s creative work, it has since evolved into a feature length documentary. It was easy to realize the potential value of utilizing so much archival material, as well as the perspectives of Fresco’s past associates expressed in recorded oral histories" ( https://web.archive.org/web/20180826014719/http://frescofuture.com/about.html )

One notable aspect of the project was its purported collaboration with Videoneat, a platform seemingly affiliated with TROM, a venture later estranged by The Venus Project.

Delving in, we find out more, including the fact that it was apparently made with funds from a grant by the University of Kansas. https://www.facebook.com/manoftomorrowfilm/posts/pfbid0y2kXTPzKXBrSSxNRTHqrBMyGboEF72d54MxbvNXDFa4bfgThctAhQ6g846sMnGELl

https://kuscholarworks.ku.edu/bitstream/handle/1808/15029/Dinwiddie_jur14.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y

Another thing of interest was the following:

the film will contain much of the recently organized archival materials, consisting of more than 2,000 audio and video recordings, 2,500 photographic images, 3,500 design renderings, 300 physical models, and hundreds of documents."

Going by their Facebook posts(https://www.facebook.com/manoftomorrowfilm), it promises about 2 dozen interviews, as well as the aformentioned archival material.

Interestingly, we have no video materials released as proof of either the interviews, or the archives. A reasonable man can also ask how are 24 interviews, as well as most of the archives, supposed to fit in a documentary that is supposed to run for only a couple of hours.

So once again, the archive material was promised to be processed, years before the never finished Jacque Fresco transcription project.

While the Kickstarter campaign was never begun, it seems there was a Contribute Early campaign, so in conjunction with the public funds from the University of Kansas, there was an unspecified amount of private money that also went missing.

Just like today, the man now legally in charge of The Venus Project, dragged on a project related to Jacque Fresco's archives, for years, while constantly telling us to wait a bit more, since it's coming soon.

And i haven't mentioned the biggest failure yet. The use of funds for a major art film, created from the $200,000 crowdfunding campaign. Nate was brought in to write the script after the others didn't work out. He sat for 2 years studying transmedia projects and whatnot and rolled out a big report that they had this project laid out and put on the shelf.

So to conclude, during his time collaborating with TVP, according to the above mentioned sources, as well as TVP's 2020 agenda(https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2590415834505415) Nathanael Dinwiddie has been coordinating the following projects:

-Center for Resource Management;

-Jacque Fresco Transcription effort;

-Creation of script for a full-length film;

-A TVP podcast;

-"Man of Tomorrow" movie;

-A virtual reality simulator;

All the mentioned projects have overpromised, have raised an undisclosed amount of funds, then consistently stretched out the deadline, before quitely dropping these goals.

All efforts have said to result in massive libraries of content, that are conveniently unaccesible, while the money raised by good-intentioned contributors have vanished without a trace.

This reveals a pattern of either malicious scamming, or incompetence, involving public and private funds, totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars, broken promises, and missing resources, stretching back over a decade.

And now the same Nathaniel Dinwiddie is in charge of setting up The Jacque Fresco Foundation, who's site hasn't updated in a year, and the highly controversial The Venus Evolution fiasco, while once again telling the public everything will be ready soon, and it's none of our concern what he does with the money.

Need i say more?

Hello again, Apologies for the reduced activity in recent weeks, there has been plenty of talk to about, that we've been busy with.

After reviewing all the arguments presented by both sides, as well as online supporters of Simon Michaux, the following conclusions have been reached:

-the pseudo-scientific and conspiracy theories accusations brought forth by the Russian-speaking team are indeed true.

In various podcasts, the following pseudo-science and conspiracies have been brought forward by Simon:

1. Covered-up infinite wireless electric energy conceived by Tesla. Repeatedly, see for example the Promethius Project video and the Accidental Gods interview;
2. Electric Universe, Water Powered Cars, and Zero Point Energy. See the slide from the Promethius Project video, presented here.
   https://twitter.com/FrescoNetwork/status/1754843539605688534 And no, bringing these up as fields of inquiry does not denote an open mind, but a conspiratorial, pseudo-scientific one.
3. As a sidenote, the conversation i had with one of Simon's close followers, from which this tweet is from, was disturbing for an organisation formed on a purely scientific and empirical worldview. It was a worldview that ultimately concluded that scientific institutions cannot be trusted!
4. Neither were any specific claims made by the Russian-speaking team denied, like the decade long self-isolation in the desert, colloqually called "Jacque's rest", in which TVP waits while the world collapses, or the imposition of a (likely shamanistic) single religion as the social glue of the new community.
5. There were also some information which was revealed to me in private conversation, which i am not yet privy to share, which details more about certain aspects of the Venus Evolution. To anyone who will get more in touch with these reveals, look for example at how medicine is to be structured in the new city.

-the paper submitted by Simon Michaux is indeed not peer-reviewed, and his allegations of contacts "in high places", as well as the meetings which he was supposedly was a part of, cannot be proven or backed by any sort of evidence;

-the Thorium Network(which is listed under the page of TVP's partners https://www.thevenusproject.com/about/partners/ ) is indeed scummy, and is linked to a spiderweb of phantom companies, fake CV's, crypto-currency scams, and a forum of scam victims from a previous venture: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NqmdOCVz4J2BHMEU73yKL21x8ImGA2OzzODfOvhmeOY/edit#heading=h.t740b3ruk6eh

-the behaviour of the new board has been indeed abusive. The attitude present in the following conversation says the Russian-speaking team is to get in line, and has nothing to offer TVP, and saying they can always sell everything and start other ventures, but Yevhen is dependant on their goodwill, since he is a Ukrainean refugee with wife and kids, and therefor financially blackmailable.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GcipFy4HBDMPc6qkzqSMETJSqGRTo2wpOKwPOzUdmfc/edit

This follows years of similar allegations, and massive structural problems, told by previous members of TVP, stretching back years: https://www.bigworldsmallsasha.com/2019/09/13/why-i-left-the-venus-project/ https://docs.google.com/document/d/18JZTpHmX5dvE_RvX8XRYv30G4qz8Be-xeK1DDt8PsDM/edit https://www.tiotrom.com/2016/11/tvp-and-me/ https://docs.google.com/document/d/10RfmnDINo4dk2aTRNFoM-i9j_bn7dZ73Z7qoAAo-M8Y/edit http://www.auravana.com/conflict-resolution.html https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EG68qxbYPRWM7CUJmPeu_7si9rHXB-pSQMF9fYI7FuU/edit https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R0yRP4eVHb4KnJMngyB5W9mmcqwHBHBlsozK97ZNWKc/edit# https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tlHina0Y3ERiEL8iDvt5e2UiKyaEZFq4g_5t29wnwiA/edit

-the conversations that have been carried on Discord, in the "The RBE Project"(name has been frequently changed in the past, in various vague titles involving the words "AI" and "Singularity", without a mention of Jacque Fresco or RBE until recently) server have been nothing but pure stonewalling by Nathanael Dinwiddie, Peter, and other members of the new team, inside the "The Death of Jacque Fresco's The Venus Project" thread.

Please note that it not only the russian-speaking team, or us that were verbally attacked and kept in the dark, but also regional coordinators from other former TVP Support groups, such as the Israeli one, which knew even less than us.

All responses have been either evading the question, while going on personal attacks about the character and motives of the participants, or just requests to wait more until everything is a fait accompli.

For anyone who wants to check for themselves, please request access to the server off my Discord, or from Nathanael Dinwiddie, if i do not, or will not, have permissions to invite.

-the secrecy and opacity demanded by the new board, and it's duration since the middle of last year, is not tenable if TVP's change of direction is compatible with Jacque Fresco's vision, but would make sense if the new plan did indeed confirm the document's fears.

-the plans presented in the slides as proof success is guaranteed out are incredibly vague, and basically platitudes: https://twitter.com/InterimHumanity/status/1755542933250441416 https://twitter.com/InterimHumanity/status/1755553100432085422 https://twitter.com/InterimHumanity/status/1755545882823381150

Please note how the first step is raising a lot of money, without any guarantees to prevent it from being siphoned off.

In conclusion, even if they were exagerated at times, which we have no reason to suspect, given the context presented, the claims made by former TVP Rus are indeed extremely likely true, and even a small part of them prove The Venus Project has abandoned any sort of continuity with Fresco's vision of a scientific future without politics, poverty, and war, instead abandoning themselves into becoming an apocalyptic cult, dominated by a worldview of conspiracy, scarcity and mystical delusions, under the direction of a con-man and his lackeys.

Under these circumstances, The Venus Project has lost it's pivotal role in the history of humanity's evolution, and can no longer be supported by any man or woman with basic scientific literacy.

What is to be done?

With the current situation being on a path of no return, we ask for the support of any of the followers of Jacque Fresco's true vision, to collaborate on forging a dedicated movement to preserve the great man's teachings in an open and scientific manner.

We make no claims of being the heads of this movement, and look forward to collaborating and working with any group that wishes to build this, even to the point of eventually abosbing, merging with, or merging into this new flame-bearer.

We have already been in discussions with various people and groups, both ex and current TVP members, and people from the broader RBE ecosystem, and look forward to hearing official news of it in the following weeks.

We wish you a future beyond politics, poverty, and war!

The Jacque Freco Education Network

We will let the readers decide for themselves:

Greetings, followers of the Jacque Fresco Education Network.

As we have warned before, the vision of Jacque Fresco has been wiped out from The Venus Project. We were among the first, if not the first, to say TVP is shifting from Jacque Fresco's vision, embracing the conspiracy theories, New Age philosophies, and cryptocurrency scams of a fraud called Simon Michaud.

Our network has long cautioned about potential shifts within TVP, emphasizing the importance of preserving Fresco's original vision, particularly the concept of an Open-Access Economy(OAE)/Resource-Based Economy (RBE).

But of course, as Jacque taught us, opinions don't matter, and we need objective evidence to substantiate a claim, preferably from someone with direct knowledge of the high-level activities of The Venus Project.

The Russian-speaking TVP Support, which has been the most active support group, the main way Jacque Fresco's work has spread in the past decade, and can boast that is the reason most search results about Jacque default to the CIS areas, has released a detailed 50 page document supporting their claims.

For an in-depth analysis, we have embeded both the original document, highlighting the abuses and hijacking of The Venus Project organization, with a translated version of it, available as a PDF.

As discussions unfold, it's crucial to stay informed.

Rely on the Jacque Fresco Education Network, and other free OAE outlets, as your primary source for accurate information about Jacque Fresco's teachings and the evolving landscape of The Venus Project.

We encourage all independent OAE groups to merge forces with us, to carry the torch forward.

Join us in preserving the legacy and principles that have defined this movement.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1C6vqT0SvdOWClBDhlJlbHEQ561Ac2ga9rcvvxtMnE2M/

In the interest of making the teachings of Jacque Fresco more easily accesible to the seekers of knowledge, we have decided to use OPEN access Economy (OAE) as the primary term to refer to a resource-based economy(RBE), from now on.

While the term “resource-based economy” is used by Jacque Fresco in all of his writings, the term is used outside of the RBE scene to describe economies that primarily exploit one resource, which generates confusion.

Open Access Economy has been used by other related movements, and we find it unique and open enough to become the new standard. It also has an open and dedicated wiki on which we can collaborate one.

We encourage the other movements that strive for this goal, to use this term from now on

Thank you, Jacque fresco Education network

Amazing news!
Found another rare Jacque Fresco tape on the Internet Archive:

https://archive.org/details/JacqueFresco-lecture-tapeK1-circa1974Or1975

Also available on our website, under the Audio section: https://jacque-fresco-edu.net/audio

Yes, you didn't read that wrong.

My heart is heavy with disappointment, rage and disbelief.

We stand on the precipice of a future that Jacque Fresco tirelessly envisioned—a world where resources are shared equitably, where humanity transcends the chains of scarcity, and where innovation and compassion reign supreme. Yet, in this moment, the pioneer of this noble dream has been abandoned.

Jacque Fresco poured his heart, soul, and intellect into the vision of a resource-based economy, laying the foundation for a brighter tomorrow. His tireless dedication fueled the inception of the Venus Project, an institution meant to carry forward his legacy and ideals. Yet, to witness the erasure of his material, his ideas, his essence from their very platform is not just a betrayal of his legacy but a disservice to the very essence of progress.

Fresco wasn’t just a visionary; he was the embodiment of unwavering determination to create a world where our potential is unleashed, where the shackles of scarcity and inequality are broken.

His teachings weren’t just words on a page; they were a beacon of hope guiding us toward a future where every individual thrives, where cooperation triumphs over competition, where the value of human life surpasses monetary gains.

It’s disheartening, even enraging, to witness his exclusion from the very movement he birthed. How can we forget the man whose ideas dared us to dream bigger, to think beyond the constraints of our current society? How can we turn away from his vision, his passion, his life’s work?

Why should this matter? It matters because the erasure of Jacque Fresco’s work isn’t just about the deletion of content; it’s a potential erasure of history, a dismissal of the guiding principles that can shape our collective future.

In response to this abrupt erasure, the Jacque Fresco Education Network stands as a custodian of his teachings. We were created precisely because we saw years ago that The Venus Project only cared about his work in order to exploit it for money.

And today, the traitors reveal their true face, and how they are enslaved to the monetary system Jacque fought all his life to oppose.

We invite you to join us in our pledge to protect, preserve, and perpetuate Jacque’s legacy. Let us collectively ensure that his teachings remain accessible, open, and free for all who seek enlightenment and guidance on the path to a resource-based future.

Let us collectively acknowledge the significance of this pivotal moment. Instead of demanding restoration to a platform that undermines his principles, let us redirect our energies to a space that upholds Jacque Fresco’s legacy in its truest form—the Jacque Fresco Education Network.

Together, let us embrace this transition, ensuring that his vision remains a beacon of hope, a source of inspiration, and a guiding light toward a future where humanity and innovation flourish hand in hand.

In truth, Jacque Fresco Education Network

Due to the efforts of Ivan, we now have an insanely detailed torrent of the vast majority of the material Jacque Fresco had on the Internet.

What happens next?

We shall try to add as much of it into a ChatGPT-powered bot, to consult regarding Jacque Fresco's teachings. We wish The Venus Project would be as transparent, and shared it's material under an open license, to show how a world where knowledge and the blueprint of our society is free and openly available, and how machine learning can interact with information to help create a world in which the age-old problems of war, poverty, hunger, debt, and unnecessary human suffering are viewed not only as unavoidable, but as totally unacceptable.
