World Knowledge Bank®

The World Knowledge Bank® is established to create a vibrant and just community wherein all people can share their knowledge and elect to be compensated for what they know.

The WKBank's ability to make this Declaration is due to the democratic and just qualities of the Constitution of the United States of America and the just qualities of the development of the United State of America over time. Further the WKBank’s creation and development stands on the shoulders of:

—the native people of the americas including the Iroquois Confederacy that first established democratic practices here

—the native people who handed down to current generations the beauty of the americas’ land

—my beloved husband and life partner, Guy Racuya

—and the Great Giving (please see the Constitution of Mercy forthcoming) of the countless named and unnamed men and women from around the world that have spent their lives in support of the living earth, justice for all and the power of the free human spirit.
