The ethanol diplomacy hoax
President Bush will come to Brazil with ideas of how the two countries can create an international ethanol market, but the US government is more interested in protecting farmers than strengthening ties with Brazil.

A company in Argentina has produced what would appear to be the first commercial hybrid water-gasoline engine. The engine works using 30% water and 70% diesel, and is already being used by the Las Delicias bus company in the city of Rosario and to power an ice-breaker 'Patagonia Ice Lady' the world's first hybrid ship.

The technology was invented by two brothers, Sergio and Victor Solmi, and has been patented in 140 countries. The bus is an adapted Mercedes Benz. The company says its technology results in a 20% energy saving, as well as reduced emissions. The company can be contacted at

The Middle East is either going to be linked up to the “West” (meaning the US) or go over to the Asian bloc (meaning China), and the power that goes with this control is enough to make or break a superpower. That’s why we went, that’s why we’re staying, and that’s what cannot be stated in the polite circles of influential opinion.

A contraction in oil and energy supplies might merely mean a change in technology, not an economic disaster. There are those who believe that this new technology may spark an economic boom. Barclays investment bank recently calculated that new technology to reduce fuel consumption, in response to global warming, would produce an economic bonus of $10 trillion through development of new technology (3).


We have been at this moment in history before. In the mid-1980’s the US had developed a whole raft of new energy technologies in response to soaring oil prices. USA had developed the best wind turbines in the world, following an extended research programme by NASA and the US Department of Agriculture. General Electric and Boeing had each created wind turbines 25 years ahead of their time - larger than anything made until the last 2 years. Westinghouse made a wind turbine that was extremely rugged and cost-efficient. The US had developed a new technology of “passive solar heating” - heating homes purely by means of the sunlight entering the windows, without extra energy input. A government programme at Los Alamos over a dozen years had perfected the technology.


In the early 80s, USA led the way in new energy technologies. What went wrong?


What happened was the Iran-Iraq war. Contrived by George Bush Snr and Donald Rumsfeld, this war help artificially drive down world oil prices as the two oil states desperately pushed up exports to pay for arms. As the price of oil dropped, corporate America dropped the new technologies like a stone.

Why I fled George Bush's war

 

 

He looked at me with eyes full of hatred, as if he was ready to kill me for saying those words, but he did not touch the woman again. I found this incident with Hayes particularly disturbing because during other times I had seen him in action in Iraq, he had showed himself to be one of the most level-headed and calm soldiers in my company. I had the sense that if he could lose it and hit a woman the way he had, any of us could lose it too.

 

The capacity to defend against armed aggression is worth something to those in need of it. Why would anyone abuse that capacity?

In a word; greed.

The sky is falling.

Whoever is under it: beware.

Whoever is not under it: profit.

If you don't know if you are under it, then, it may be a good time to find out.

The sky is made to fall – by design. If people wise up, then, people will design something better.

If you the reader are worried and confused, then, please consider a simple rule – if you produce more than you consume, including the consumption called interest payments - if you earn more that consumed, then, you can get out from under the falling sky.

This is really very simple. Earning more than consumed proves that you increase the total supply of wealth in the world currently. The problem (the falling sky) is an accounting error. You may be blamed for the accounting error. That is secondary. If you earn more than consumed, then, you add more to the world’s wealth.

Example: If your surplus earnings are now going into a 401K savings plan, then, you may be under the falling sky.

What would happen if you could take that money and pay off your mortgage?

This:

A.     If 401K money vanishes, then, you are not affected by that loss because you cashed in before the crash.

B.     If you pay off your mortgage, then, you no longer have to pay a mortgage payment and you don’t have to pay mortgage interest every month while many people lose their homes since they can’t pay those payments.

C.     You have a home to sleep in.

D.     You could rent out a room in the house for extra income

E.      If your job is under the sky and it folds, then, you don’t have to come up with the mortgage payment or interest.

F.      You have more time to spend looking for work.

G.     You are independent from the power of mortgage debt.

There are reasons why the 401K program was written in a manner that penalizes anyone removing those funds before retirement – anyone except the people holding those funds. Those people may remove those funds when those funds are invested poorly. Who profits?

Who needs to beware?

To top it off, House leadership may have actually made war with Iran more likely. The bill originally contained language making it clear that the president would need congressional authorization before attacking Iran – as the Constitution requires. But this language was dropped after special interests demanded its removal. This move can reasonably be interpreted as de facto congressional authority for an attack on Iran. Let’s hope that does not happen.

The War Party's propaganda campaign has gone into high gear as a result of this incident, evoking memories of yet another "hostage crisis" and characterizing the incident as an Iranian provocation designed to set up a prisoner exchange, in which the Iranians would hand over their captive Brits for Iranians recently detained in Iraq – the latter supposedly numbering in the "hundreds."

As part of the general propaganda offensive, U.S. News is reporting yet another incident, this time involving the Americans and Iraqi troops, who were allegedly surrounded by Iranian Revolutionary Guards well inside Iraq. This supposedly occurred in September of last year – yet we're only learning about it now.

 

It may be a good idea to sign one of those petitions to get the Bush Regime changed before 2008.

It is called: impeachment.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Impeach+bush

This is a simple moral choice. Save hundreds of thousands of lives by a simple signature on  simple web page. Stop one small group of evil people in a peaceful manner and save a very large group of people from death and misery where death is probably the least evil for them.

Hell on earth for many compared to no more candy for a few rotten apples.

What exactly is the problem here? I am asking.

Manifest Destiny and the spread of capitalism go hand in hand. The growth of the military industrial complex requires imperial conquests and continuous expansion—an impossibility on a finite planet. We have yet to learn that wherever reality clashes with economic myth, reality prevails.

Above is another source linking the information required to know why the Iraq take-over has been perpetrated.

http://pol.moveon.org/townhall/iraq/review/rate.html?id=10114-7617534-7OXkLd

If the people at the link above read the information required to know why the perps lie, cheat, torture, and mass murder their way into Iraq, then, the questions would take on a more focused focus aimed at the criminals to get the criminals exposed as criminals - if nothing else.

As president I will expose the criminals as crimials. I see good cause to send them to the Iraqi people to be tried for their crimes. I can only hope that the Iraqi people can forgive them. We have an obligation to stop the torturing and killing. By "we" I mean "Human Beings".

The least that can be done is to expose the people who abuse the power required to perpetrate these crimes.

Our hands are very far from clean.

 

By "Our" hands I take that to mean "Human Beings". The actual people who commit the crimes are not "Us".

"Our" crimes include a dependence upon falsehood. It is past time for Power-Independence.

Iran’s Pre-Emptive Strike



by Gary North


Iran is planning to stop using the U.S. dollar to price oil, with less than half of its oil income now paid in the U.S. currency, Iran's central bank governor said.


While reading the above it may help to refer to a map:






 The quid pro quo for the dollar's sole acceptability in Saudi Arabia and the other Sunni members of OPEC is protection. As long as the United States keeps the State of Israel on a tight leash beyond its own borders, the Saudis need fear only the Shi'ites.

With Iran now selling oil only for other currencies, it has offered a challenge to the other OPEC exporters. They can get out of the petrodollar trap by switching to the euro. Iran is about to set the precedent. Iraq did, but it was invaded. Then the old arrangement was reimposed by the Americans: oil for dollars only.

How does the saying go...?

As serious as Nukular war!

How about this:

If the choice is between the better of two evils, then, add more zeros.

Eventually the choice will actually be between two goods (relatively speaking).

++++++++++
How do you define wealth, poverty, and power?
++++++++++

x,

Thanks for the effort to be more precise. If I can manage to accomplish a task now it will be to answer your specific question and return to your topic afterward.

Wealth (according to me, who is one example of the category: human being) is that stuff that stores value. Poverty is a living condition that is absent value. Power is an ability to accurately move matter.

Examples:

Having the power to precisely move that stuff that stores value from someone who earns that stuff to someone who earns power is the power to cause poverty.

Imagine, for example, one person or a number of people who pay off their mortgages and own their homestead.

That is a power to move the title (a piece of paper) from the trustee (here in California) to the person occupying the home. From that point on there is an end to the transfers of stuff from the person occupying the home to the Bank.

The Bank must look for other sources of wealth after that one or more than one individual severs that link.

Where does the Bank get its stuff that stores value?

Here is where I will try to return to your original topic and I will make a special effort to avoid sounding utopian.

Imagine 150,000,000 people in the U.S. (roughly half the population) decide to organize a mortgage pay off scheme. Many of these individuals were convinced, in the past, that such a ‘pyramid’ scheme would only benefit a few at the expense of the many. Now the scheme has been hard wired into an encrypted hard drive that each individual owns and all the hard drives are virtually identical having the same software with the exception of data input. In other words the hard drives are merely one simple accounting program.

The ‘system’ is universal for all 150,000,000 participants. Each participant adds a voluntary wealth transfer into the system as they choose – individually. The ‘system’ buys the titles of properties based upon a ratio of who voluntarily transfers the highest amount of wealth relative to their remaining debt. In other words; the person who transfers the entire debt amount to the ‘system’ is rewarded with the title of his property first. The person who transfers almost all the debt into the ‘system’ is the next property to be purchased by the ‘system’ to be transferred to that person when all that debt is paid.

You may or may not see the writing on the wall with this experiment in thought at this point.

150,000,000 million people transfer wealth to a ‘system’ in the effort to regain title of their property. The person who first transfers all the debt they owe is the person who receives the title of their property first. No person receives the title of their property until they pay off all their debt.

The ‘system’ encourages (like a race to the top) people to send wealth to the ‘system’. You may now wonder how this ‘system’ is any different than the current ‘system’.

You may wonder how this ‘utopian dream’ or this ‘pyramid scheme’ has anything at all to do with your topic. If so, then, I can’t answer that skepticism without your participation in calculating numbers.

The ‘system’ receives additional wealth at a rate determined by individual choice that is multiplied by the number of choices.

Example:

1000 units of wealth per person per year can be an imaginable rate of wealth transfer from the many to the one (system).

1000 times 150,000,000 per year.

Of course the rate will not be determined by edict; rather - the rate is determined by individual choice based upon a perceived desire to gain title of property early.

Now – suppose we calculate the average rate above for a time period of 10 years to arrive at a ‘system’ total income before delving into the pay-off.

1000 times 150 million times 10 equals a lot of wealth transferred from many to one.

You can do the math to check my results. I get: (too many zero’s to count on the M.S. calculator).

It is something like 1,500 thousand million per year?

What is the proper number?

150,000,000
Times 10 years will add one zero.
1,500,000,000
That is now one trillion five hundred million units of wealth from the many to one.
Now add three more zeros (1000 units per year per person).
150,000,000
1,500,000,000
1,500,000,000,000

Now the one has to pay out.

Before ‘pay-out’ we (if you want to follow along) can assume (for the sake of ‘argument’), that no one has yet paid off their entire debt. In other words the entire 150,000,000 participants have yet to pay off any mortgages after 10 years in this ‘pyramid scheme utopian dream’.

What is the word used for numbers greater than trillion?

How about Gazillion?

One Gazillion five hundred trillion dollars has transferred from the many to one after 10 years.

What, you may ask, is the pay-off? What inspires participation in this utopian dream?

The ‘system’ buys mortgages based upon that previously mentioned ratio (the most contributed divided by the least owed, or, the least owed divided by the most contributed, or, some other calculation that is universally applied to everyone equally) and the ‘system’ charges only the cost of operating the ‘system’ divided by the number of participants.

Did I lose you?

Return to the number: One Gazillion five hundred trillion.

Divide that number by the average mortgage debt per house and arrive at a number of mortgages owned by the ‘system’ to be transferred to each person who manages to pay into the ‘system’ their remaining debt.

I’ll leave this here for lack of interest shown by anyone I have yet to find who shares my interest in this type of anarchist thought.

I don’t have many answers yet – but let me tell you what I will do if I were given Dick Cheney’s job.

Welcome aboard!

Rather than continuing to embrace an unfettered faith in authority, despite all evidence that such faith is lethal, there is now an awakening of independent and cooperative spirit leading to actual problem solving utilizing imaginative reason.

 

Who said it best?
