Questioning Main Stream Assumptions

"September Clues"

2008-09-14T12:46:00.004-07:00

The fuzzy You Tube versions of September Clues didn't reveal just how bad the Ghost Images looked. Falsified Images of buildings, Airframes, even Land masses with Bridges exceeding the posted speed limit.

Here is a cleaner higher definition version of "September Clues" You can now download:

It shows all 5 network sources and contrary to Mr. Lawson, gives the official network archives for Your comparison.

There is much, almost too much to see, and it isn't just about what kind of airframe image we were shown that hit that day, if any.

See for Yourself.

I am no longer surprised after reading ACBAG that the history of Monopolies and Energy are not relatively new. The Hostmen controlled coal for over 3 centuries.

I ask myself, what were my school teachers thinking by leaving out History so important?

After You read how booze and keys to the Vette was given to Teens in Congress who haven't done their job in years,,,

I ask You to consider the possibility that the War has caused this: Was Financial License "Encouraged" to keep things booming so as to keep people distracted so that the Lawless Carnage might continue in the Middle East?

Even the problem causes a distraction worthy of people's attention. A Trillion dollar problem draws attention away from a multi Trillion dollar war, even if it were ended tomorrow. This has Rummy's fingerprints all over it. Or people just like him.

End all Subsidies to Alternative Energy

2008-05-30T08:53:00.004-07:00

I have an Idea.

Lets truly deregulate all energy sources and stipulate that all subsidies have to go as well.

EVERY Subsidy.

That way the $15.00 a gallon price of gasoline would be right on the pump.

That's Right. The Price You pay today at the pump is only a down payment.

Corporations would no longer be able to buy Gas for $4 something a gallon and make the taxpayer pay for the balance via income taxes to guarantee world wide delivery to any port of HC products by Trans-National Oil Companies via our Army, Navy and Air Force.

Our military could be 1/10th its current size and other fuels like methane and ethanol could return to the marketplace on an equal footing.

Farmers would be more fully employed and waste land, such as empty gravel pits could use primary treated sewage to grow cattails for methane and ethanol.
Cleaning up our rivers too, since Cattails remove nitrates and phosphates that sewage treatment plants currently discharge into rivers.

But You want to know, How much fuel?

Enough to totally replace gasoline if need be on an equivalent of 1.5% of total Ag land, saving all the prime crop land for corn, soy, wheat, etc.

150 billion gallons net. Equal to what we use in piston powered vehicles. All of them. Light aircraft too.

That's 20 million acres out of 1.3 billion total acres of Ag land, or waste land like an empty gravel pit or flood plain that one can't build homes on. 6300 acres, about ten sections of land per U.S. County.

I realize this is not according to Oil man AlGore's plans to suffocate small business and individuals with a CO2 tax.

The whole fact filled concept is in "Alcohol can be a gas" by David Blume http://tinyurl.com/56rrda

Why the Title? Easy. In Blume's book I learned that Gasoline is an alternative energy source for the automobile. The original fuel was Ethanol.

Adios LP National!

2008-05-28T16:15:00.006-07:00

We who are or were LP members and supporters have not bothered to mind the store for decades now, at least not enough of us, allowing a team at the top to do things for us.

That team has been in place for decades, trying at times to do good, but also pulling some very unlibertarian schemes whenever they thought someone was not looking, via funding by friends of Big Oil.

It is no accident that funding of all political movements are under control of either Oil, fiat Banking, or Arms for Oil dealers or close associates of same.

It is no different than when England was an Empire and they did the Tea-Silver-Opium economy to keep things afloat so those on top could stay on top.

We must realize it is no mistake that we have no competition in Oil, Money, Drugs, and Arms dealing. All Empires and declining Dictatorships flow from these mechanisms. The System feeds them, and they repay by buying the next flock of politicians to serve them, by keeping out entrants to their Protected Industries.

The "European Game" won't last much longer.

We are about at the end of the Empire rope. There isn't much left to loot. Empire will be transferred to another emerging country that has a large, easy to fool populace, while we are drained of what resources remain.

Get ready for "Plan Ireland"

Were there any hope of rebuilding American Culture to reestablish the Liberty sentiments that made America worth living in, We would have had a National LP with Offices in the Middle of fly over country with a few volunteers forwarding inquires to city and County Party Offices. That's it. All Politics is Local. If one doesn't build a foundation and control the top from that foundation, the top will control it all. For almost a century, Bush and Harriman controlled the Republican and Democratic party machines. Libertarians were fooled into making their Party after the image of the corrupted Party.

Barr will be the first open puppet of the New and Improved Libertarian Machine openly owned by the Wall St./D.C. machine in the mold of the two wings of the Unibrow Party.

Having a national party ONLY served to control events just enough so that a Barr could destroy it in due time.

Soon enough, there will be quotes from Barr about wanting Non Christian types executed, or something equally distasteful from His not too distant past.

It will probably happen a week prior to election day. The money spent by Friends of Big Oil will have been well invested.

Hopes of a better day foiled.

The blue bloods will have protected their interests and to hell with everyone else.

Bend over and get ready for an Obama or Hillary Dictatorship that Wall St. will be proud of. They should be, They paid for the Private Law to do so.

Bob Barr?

2008-05-26T08:53:00.003-07:00

Bob Barr?

I hope this is a joke!

Mary Ruwart would have been a FAR more consistent candidate.

Barr, I can't respect as he has no tolerance for people who are not of his faith. He is on record as wanting some non Christian people executed.

I do not think the general LP membership has a clue as to what it means to be a Libertarian if the Big Oil, Watergate types in the LP managed to fool the general membership. This was not a mistake.

I guarantee Barr being elevated to the level of nominee will gather attention. The type of attention that sandbags political movements at the worst possible moment, All over TV making the LP look like knuckle dragging cretins.

15 minutes of shame that destroys 30+ years of hard work.

"One of the popular sayings I repeatedly heard in Baghdad, describing the relations between the U.S. and Saddam's regime, is 'Rah el sani', ija el ussta' – 'Gone is the apprentice, in comes the master.'"

What this suggests about the people running America is far worse than if they were simply malevolent super-geniuses: They don't know the backstory and couldn't care less. It's as though we're riding in the back seat of a car driven by people who demanded the wheel but aren't sure what the gas pedal does or what a stop sign actually looks like.

Without a Shot being Fired

2008-03-08T14:50:00.002-07:00

People have forgotten that one definition of Anarchy means Self Government. It is anything but an absence of Government.

The American system has flaws. Patrick Henry smelled a rat for good reason. Our system was perverted nearly the day the Constitution was approved. Washington and Hamilton both owned the two largest stills in America. They planted the seeds of Our destruction by taxing the people on Whiskey produced, which eliminated competition for Washington and Hamilton both and violated the rule that taxation was to be equally apportioned across the various States.

We were promised that We were Government. We still could be Government, with the state framework being there to serve us, each of us. In such a system, You need to know that the framework of the State exists ONLY to serve You.

For that to work, You and Your neighbors need to re learn the Truth that You are Government. Like the Good book says, "Government Rests upon His shoulders"

I don't confuse The State, or The Government with Government. The first two are mechanisms or a framework that exists to serve Good Government, which is You. Government is a process, nothing more. Quit giving it more power by pretending that it is The Government or The State and then empowering it by complaining about, The Government.

Having a Jury of 12 of Your Peers insures the few bad apples out there can't eat away at You or Your Substance.

Once enough of us relearn this truth, No man or Judge will ever be able to successfully usurp Power over another ever again.

What remains to be done?

Share the Truth.

War game how such a restructured society could function, and if it presents any flaws, suggest improvement.

Interview - The End of America

2008-02-26T21:32:00.005-07:00

Naomi Wolf discusses her new book "The End of America"

The book identifies ten classic steps common to all dictatorships -- including those of Mussolini, Hitler and Stalin.

Alarmingly, Wolf makes the case that each of these ten steps is occurring in post 9/11 America right now. The book is a call to action for young and concerned Americans and this interview intimately frames this important discussion.

Who is Omar Khadr?

2008-02-17T06:58:00.009-07:00

http://www.blackopradio.com/black361a.rm

In 2002, a young (13 yrs old) Omar Khadr, born in Toronto, was taken by his father to Pakistan then to Afghanistan where he sat in the company of Osama Bin Laden

Pre-9/11, Bin Laden and his group were aware that America was looking for an excuse to invade Afghanistan. Offers to build a pipeline across Afghanistan by Union Oil went down the tubes, the Leadership inked a deal with Bridas of Argentina to build the pipeline, who they trusted.

America was having a hard time finding an excuse and then 9/11...

The morning of 9/11, just 1 hour after the attacks, Rumsfeld was already prepared to hit 27 targets within Afghanistan. This level of planning requires a year's lead time

Omar Khadr's brother and father were killed and another brother paralyzed in the early bombing

Omar was captured, taken to Guantanamo and tortured

The case against Khadr was thrown out by a military judge in the US but the charges were re-laid

The case against Khadr: For 6 years he was purported to have thrown a hand grenade at his attackers, killing an American Sargent

The truth: A recent document inadvertently released proves Khadr was captured when he was found sitting on the ground peaceably facing away from his captors, facing a wall

Khadr's friend, sitting with him was shot through the head, killing him. Khadr was shot twice and left for dead. Neither posed a threat to their attackers

Being one of the few early witnesses left, the reason for re-laying charges against Khadr is to shut him up and prevent the truth from coming out about 9/11

Guantanamo detainees are routinely tortured until they confess to anything their captors want them to

Prof Scott tells us about former Guantanamo guard-cum-author, Erik Saar and an American author accused of murder, William Sampson, detained by the 'Saudis who were trained in torture techniques by the CIA'.

Saar's book is Inside the Wire. Samson's book is Confessions of an Innocent Man both at Amazon

Scott, like so many others shows that America planned and carried out the attacks on 9/11 as an excuse to attack Afghanistan

The Canadian government, even after knowing the truth, at this point is still not acting to repatriate Khadr, an innocent in this story

Prof. Scott calls Prime Minister Harper (Canada) and his Ministers as well as the opposition Ministers "The gutless wonders of the world" for doing absolutely nothing on this issue

Donald Scott's and William Scott's new book "AIDS: The Crime Beyond Belief" available for $45.95 + $4 p&h(paperback) or $49.95 + $4 p&h(Hardcover)

Order this great book at CCMRF PO Box 133 Stn. B, Sudbury Ont. P3E 4N5

Sobering Notion Number Two

2008-01-31T17:01:00.000-07:00

The Iraq War has cost the U.S. a minimum of Thousands Dead, many times that wounded, and 500 Billion Dollars. Quite a few say the numbers are twice that.

Ethanol plants for 50% Ethanol fuel for every vehicle in the U.S. would cost a one time capital outlay of well under 70 Billion dollars for Distillation equipment.

(Many autos can burn a 50/50 Ethanol - Gasoline blend)

There are many ways to make Ethanol without using any corn acreage at all, negating the need to worry about food shortages.

Google "Ten Sections per County" then pass it on to your friends.

The entire planet could switch to Ethanol for vehicle fuel for a one time 500 Billion dollar distillation equipment outlay. -David Blume Author of "Alcohol can be a Gas" Other one time expenses are distribution upgrades and a vehicle conversion costing a few hundred dollars per vehicle for Cold Starting if one burns E-100

For new autos like Brazil drives, the payback for using E-100 is at minimum a 22% increase in mileage over Gasoline when the engine is designed for it, since the thermal efficiency is up to 46% on E-100, while Gasoline engines are at best 20% thermal efficient.

The Real Rudy?

2008-01-23T23:00:00.000-07:00

Giuliani Bungled Preparation in Years After 1993 Attack on Trade Center.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaCYEEO-58I

Critical failures by former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani before, during and after the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, raise serious questions about his ability to be commander-in-chief.

In this thirteen minute documentary, fire fighters, fire officers and family members give dramatic testimony about Giuliani's leadership failures. Their dramatic stories tell how Giuliani failed to provide the FDNY with radios that worked, which led to the deaths of 121 fire fighters inside the World Trade Center's North Tower because they were unable to hear orders to evacuate.

Fire fighters also point to Giuliani's poor judgment in placing his emergency command center at 7 World Trade Center, a known terrorist target after the 1993 bombing.

This video documents the mayor's lack of respect for the fallen when he called off the recovery effort at Ground Zero on Nov. 1, 2001, after $200 million in gold bullion was recovered.

"We produced this documentary because we need to make sure our members know Giuliani's real record," said IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger.

"The UFA participated in this video to correct the myth that Rudy Giuliani has perpetrated on the American public," said Steve Cassidy, president of the Uniformed Firefighters Association of Greater New York, IAFF Local 94.

The Giuliani campaign defended the former mayor's record by issuing a release that lists items he purchased for FDNY.

"But the campaign, with its response, has neglected to address the charges of failed leadership outlined in our documentary," President Schaitberger said.

"Purchasing equipment for a fire department doesn't qualify any mayor to be president," said Jack McDonnell, president of New York City Local 854, the Uniformed Fire Officers Association.

"If that's the litmus test for president of the United States, then most mayors in this country qualify for the job. Giuliani is running on his 9/11 record, and his 9/11 record is laced with failures in preparedness and response," McDonnell said.

The IAFF has not made an endorsement in the 2008 presidential election. Local 94 supported President George W. Bush in the 2004 election, while the IAFF
and Local 854 endorsed Sen. John Kerry.

The International Association of Fire Fighters, headquartered in Washington, DC, represents more than 280,000 full-time professional fire fighters and paramedics in every state in the United States and in Canada. More information is available at www.iaff.org/ and at www.rudy-urbanlegend.com/

How about nuclear war because a few countries will no longer accept Federal Reserve Notes to clear crude oil transactions?

Sound like a good idea to you?

Is Corn a Scapegoat? Who built the Altar?

EROEI? Energy Return on Energy Invested

Corn has a conservative return of between 30 and 70 percent more energy than is put into it. Some of the people pushing the old "Corn is negative EROI" myth were on the payroll of Mobil 3 decades ago, some are hacks working for the American Petroleum Institute. The API is hardly a place where competition is encouraged. One man, quoted time and again did the trick. Professor David Pimentel of Cornell.

Even though corn is one of the less productive crops used to make Ethanol, that is why hacks used it. There are varieties of Fodder beets that can make 3 to 4 times more Ethanol per acre than Corn, and return distillation residue to feed livestock as well.

How many know that Prohibition was shoved through a hard drinking CONgress with a huge bribe paid to the Woman's Christian Temperance League by none other than that b*st*rd price fixer, John D. Rockefeller.

JDR who wanted to sell a waste product called Gasoline that he could not sell for much into something that he could make a swell profit on if only he could destroy the demon rum, and every still on every farm in the country.

Henry Ford sold the first flex fuel vehicles for good reason: There were more stills than gas stations, until Prohibition and the first bumper crop of Criminal elements could also Bless America as a by product of Legislation.

Remember: If there are no alternatives to petroleum, we must sacrifice some of our children on the Altar of The Incorporated Military Industrial Educational Medical Financial Complex* via War in the places where Oil must be acquired (stolen)

If we buy that Lie, then Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld should be Leaders for Life, and lets get on with debating how wonderful the Seahawks played last year.

Otherwise, Let's open our eyes for the first time in a long time and read "Alcohol can be a Gas" by David Blume.

There is one plan David mentions that could replace all our transport fuel needs without taking any prime Farmland used for vegetables, corn, soy etc.

Ten Sections per County

All one needs is 1.5% of the worst land around. Empty gravel pits, certain mine tailing piles, flood plains too close to the river to build homes on, etc. aprox. 6300 acres in each US county devoted to feeding primary treated sewage to Cattails. Cattails are very high in Carbohydrates, which can be made today into Ethanol without any new technology. 2500 gallons per acre from starch, and 3x that in methane from cellulose and the primary treated sewage we currently dump into the river.

The net yield could be higher than 50 billion gallons of Ethanol fuel and 100 billion gallons of CNG equivalent (methane) almost exactly what US domestic and commercial transportation needs are.

All this would cost far less than 2 years of the war on some terrorists and we would have true Energy Independence. The money would stay here too, enriching small enterprises that would grow up to support the industry.

We would also absorb the nitrates and phosphates in sewage and clean up a lot of rivers and delta areas where rivers empty into dead zone areas of ocean due to that pollution.

The water coming out the far end would be fit to drink as a freebie.

But that is not all: Each ton of residue from distillation has animal feed value for livestock or fishery use.

So much for the myth that some people will starve if we make fuel off the land.

The question is what kind of land, and what crop grows best for fuel?

We have been lead to ask the wrong questions!

Don't have enough land?
Even Japan could be energy indy by farming kelp and fermenting and distilling Ethanol from fermented kelp.

Brazil powers half of their auto transport on Ethanol and they contribute electricity to their power grid on 1% of their land.

Could it be the High Price of Corn, Oil and Food are reflections on how worthless the Federal Reserve Note has become? Why would that be?

Could a one trillion dollar and growing War on Some Terrorists have something to do with it?

Guess who is holding the Goat with knife in hand?

( * You will note I am not against any function that mankind partakes in, provided the function does not conspire with The State to make itself "competition proof" Despite the fact that Ike warned the American people, people choose to sleep, and now we have a bigger octopus to deal with.

Awash in Energy

I don't know what to think of Peak Oil, since there are so many contradictions out there:

Russia has drilled deep and found so much oil under her that she is now a major oil exporter, larger than Saud. I see no reason why Hydrocarbons which are in every rock in space are limited to the shallow surfaces of earth, made only by dead critters.

I think the reason the former 7 Sisters ( Currently 4 sisters? ) are not investing in more oil infrastructure is based on other factors at work, plus they are proponents of the General Motors school of business. "Sell less and charge more."

Oil has been taken out of production in recent times as well, requiring that Your Son or Daughter would have to bleed on some far away desert in order to acquire somebody else's oil. Hey, It's Business......
http://www.reformation.org/energy-non-crisis.html

But enough of that. There are alternatives to imported Oil.

Listed in no particular order, New Energy advances that should have been in your newspaper yesterday:

Ethanol Fuel advances that would render North America and virtually most countries energy independent.

"Alcohol Can Be a Gas" by David Blume interviews on my server at http://network76.com/ A copy of ACBAG is available at http://ush2.com/ $47 bucks or so. Every penny worth it.
This one can't drift away since the technology is here-now.

Nanotechnology advance to allow a farmer to make all the bio diesel he needs to farm using a device the size of a suitcase to process veggie oils like Canola or Mustard seed oil, cotton seed oil, etc.

http://www.oregonbusiness.com/.docs/action/detail/rid/17609/pg/10003 the original story was released in April 06. Nothing has been updated in all of 07, yet something was supposed to be out in trial use well before 07 was over.

HTGR technology that the US and West Germany pioneered in the 70s making Nuclear Power safer and proliferation proof. South Africa and China are now in the lead with this system. It looks like China may have a working modularized unit operating within a decade.

TPD Thermal Depolymerization. Changing World Technologies. Son of Warren Buffet is said to be involved in this project. It is estimated this technology could convert crop waste, and garbage to #3 and #2 diesel for about $11 dollars a barrel in 2004 dollars (FRN). The project is supposed to be through the pilot plant phase but it has dropped off the radar. There is enough Waste from cities, farms, and the District of Columbia (bullsh*t and paper) to generate about the amount of oil the US imports each year. 4 billion barrels a year. This is renewable energy.

Autos: There are advances using compressed air to power an auto 125 miles between each charge and you can "recharge" for about 2.50 worth of utility electric. http://www.theaircar.com/
Would a car for less than $10.000 interest you? It also has a alcohol air heating option to extend range to over 400 miles using 1.5 liters of Ethanol, about $1.00 (FRN)

Here comes the Holy Grail of energy production, yet no one announced it on MSM news to my knowledge:

This news alone should have drowned out everything else for a week, if not a month!

To power your home and auto from your own roof, this December 18th. Nanosolar announced a thin film solar panel that is being produced "R.F.N." for 99 cents a watt. This is about 1/5 the present cost.
http://blog.nanosolar.com/

Problem is, there is no "Click to Buy Here" button on Nanosolar's site so that You could put those panels on Your roof. Word has it that they are only going to sell to utilities who are on the old dinosaur Power Grid, making us vulnerable to the whims of DC and any terrorist willing to cut down power lines.

Why they didn't go for Ebay I will never know. If demand is so great, they might find people willing to pay $1.99 a watt. Or more.

You could use off the shelf air compressors and carbon fiber tanks to store high pressure air for night time use and power for your cars. A one time expense of about $12,000 to $16,000 should cover the solar panels and compressor and storage tanks if mass produced. If the average bloke spends $450 a month for heat for home and fuel for autos, the payback would be less than 3 or 4 years. Perhaps 5 if I am off by a factor of 20%

Heating and cooling possibilities abound for this system also.

Example:
When an air compressor is compressing, it generates waste heat. You can heat water as a side show of compression.

Whose Planet is this?

I feel the WRONG question, leading to the WRONG assumption has been left on our doorstep.

We can have Ethanol production and quality food while building top soil and sequestering CO2 in the process.

The Problem is not one of having enough fertilizer and land area to have food and fuel. You have been tricked into believing that the equation involves an inescapable Either-Or equation. I got news for you. The WRONG assumptions are being left for you to chew on.

Consider the problem with the above limitations is Monoculture.

You can have more food production and sequester CO2 in the soil using Permaculture, ending up with more food and more people involved in agriculture and small business in a healthy way.

The inputs needed to grow great food, and have by products like Ethanol are not an either-or proposition.
