The fraud: We need gasoline. The truth is we don’t - and we never did.
Scientific and historical Facts about gasoline and alcohol:
1. The original automobiles ran on alcohol because when they were invented gasoline was not available.
2. Rockefeller spent $4 million (that we know of) to promote Prohibition, a ban on alcohol manufacturing in the US that started in 1919 just as the car industry was taking off.
3. When Prohibition was lifted in 1933, gasoline stations were ubiquitous and most engines ran on gasoline only.
4. Alcohol can be manufactured locally and on a community level from renewable plant material for $1 per gallon.
5. The growing of plant material for alcohol would have no effect on the price of food.
6. The growing of plants for fuel would more than neutralize the carbon created by burning alcohol for fuel.
7. In Brazil, over 50% of new cars sold can already run on 100% alcohol.
8. Producing alcohol from plant material is incredibly energy efficient.
9. The oil companies aggressively promote “science facts” to deceive the public into believing that alcohol fuels: a) will cause starvation, b) are uneconomical, and c) are net polluters.
10. Gasoline is a high toxic material.
11. It is entirely unneeded to fuel our cars.
12. Oil companies like Chevron have pressured PBS, commercial TV networks and other news media to keep this basic information from the public for decades - and the censorship continues to this day.
If this massive deception were to be busted, it would:
1. remove the reason that many wars are fought today
2. revitalize the world economy, especially in rural area
3. instantly increase the wealth and health of every
person on earth
Here are two clips, courtesy of Brasscheck.com. One shows a sixteen year old girl who is very pretty and clueless. The other shows the same but older.
The sixteen year old’s ignorance is pretty harmless. Unfortunately the older woman’s ignorance is incredibly dangerous since she is running for vice president of the united states.
If McPain and Co chose Palin because they hoped to get all the ex Clinton followers, then they are underestimating the intelligence of Clinton’s following. You just have to take one look at Palin and realize she is not capable of running the country.
I think it shows a sexist attitude on McPain’s part to think Clinton followers would be so dumb. But not only that, I think it is a sexist move for McPain to pick such a pathetic woman as vice president. It is like he is saying that if he picks a woman he needs to pick one that is never going to be a threat to him.
He’s setting himself up, though, because sexist men exist everywhere as they do in the democrat camp they and they are having a field day ridiculing her.
Bottom line, the world is getting more and more extreme. I live in the same world as every one else and yet there are people I feel to be galaxies apart from me. On one hand the world is getting smaller but in reaction to that, people are also becoming more extreme and entrenched in their besieged lives.
How can a Brazilian Indian protect his culture when his life and world is under attack by an army of bulldozers and chainsaws? The Dalai Lama has a long way to go before he gets his homeland back, if he ever does, which is unlikely. Wall Street is a mile away from my house.
I’m throwing these seemingly unconnected things out there because that is how the world is today. Unconnected things are connected by a single satellite call.
And yet there are eternal archetypes. And one of them is the woman who is ridiculed for her ignorance and cut down for her power. Palin is ridiculed. Clinton is cut down.
And so the story goes, round and round, like Mother Earth. There are more living organisms on the skin of each human than there are humans on the surface of the earth. The mass of mosquitoes outweighs the mass of humans on the earth….
Slave nation
An honest and complete history of the United States would include the fact that its economy, especially in the South, was addicted to slavery…
And that slavery continued in the South protected by local laws, law enforcement, courts and judges through 1945 (with occasional episodes afterward.)
Amazingly, one of the primary beneficiaries of this period of Post-Emancipation neo-slavery was U.S. Steel.
For more info Google the book “Slavery by another name”
Today, people charged with petty drug crimes do hard time, work for a few cents an hour while in prison, and have their labor leased to Fortune 500 corporations.
And the US is building news prisons every day.
Little known fact: The US has a higher percentage of its citizens in prison than any other country on earth including Russia and China.

My Note: I would vote for pretty much any black person to be president. They would have to be really, really terrible for me not to vote for them. This is simply because blacks have had such a bum rap for so many years. Until there is some sort of equality we will continue to live in a stunted society. Even Condoliza Rice, who I can’t stand, I give her credit purely based on her skin color.
Call it reverse racism or affirmative action but I do think that a pro minority attitude will speed up the equalization of our society. When I mean minority I mean for the most part people who have had the financial brunt, of which the blacks and Indians fared the worst and continue to fare the worst.
I am infuriated by the current obsession to “bail out” the financial sector with huge amounts of money under the pretense that it will avoid a financial catastrophe. It will cause some belt tightening certainly. It might even restructure the whole financial market.
But it is a gross misappropriation of funds and shows how racist and classist our society continues to be. Never have I seen Bush so concerned for the welfare of others. OMG! CEO’s risk losing their jobs! White collar workers might have to take a pay break! The Horror!
Meanwhile the majority of America continues to struggle, like they done since the constitution. Lets face it, our so called democratic free market society might not be so great! It is great for a select few. Good for some. And pretty crappy for many.
The basic problem here is that humans have yet to find a societal structure that benefits the majority. From kingdoms to communism, the basic top down structure always seems to take over where you have an elite few living off the backs of the rest.
I increasingly think Anarchism is the best arrangement. Not the Anarchism of Hollywood scare mongers but the Anarchism of well meaning intelligent, mature people. If you really look at the theories of Anarchism you will find that a lot of them you practice already and the rest you would practice if you didn’t have stupid rules imposed on you that treat you like a child.
Have you ever heard of a “bust out.” It is a scam to make money.
“The scam works as follows: an organized crime group takes over a business, borrows as much as it can in the business’ name, fails to pay vendors and then disappears with all the cash.
The Bush family and its associates in organized crime and the CIA have figured out how to run this scam on a multi-hundred billion dollar level using the entire US banking system as its playground.”

The three largest bust outs in history:
The so-called “Savings and Loan Crisis” of the late 80s
The so-called “Tech Bubble” of the late 90s
The so-called “Credit Crisis” of today
How does it work?
“Bankers” trade some widget amongst themselves. The widget has no value but the back and forth trading gives it value. The widget could be Junk bonds, internet stocks, or in the case of today, sub prime mortgages. Others are brought into the game and sooner or later everyone is buying the widgets in a frenzy.
But eventually the widget has to be redeemed. Eventually you have to take your tokens to the counter and exchange them for real money. But like the US dollar that is no longer backed by gold, the widgets have no real value except for the perceived value. So when you try to redeem them you get nothing. And the whole game falls apart.
By then a lot of people have made hugs profits on the pyramid scheme.
But the the real pay day is still to come.
The US government, “in the interest of the people and the health of the economy”, takes tax payer money and “bails out” the “ailing” companies. These companies are run by real people. The “bail out” is real money from real tax payers that goes into the pockets of real people. These are the same real people who made huge profits selling empty widgets.
So not only are they already incredibly well off, but now they get even more money.
The whole process is a two tiered scam of moving money from many to a few. And the government, which is supposed to look after its constituents, acts as the middle man to collect the money from the people in the form of taxes and pass it onto these crooks under the guise of a “bail out”.
Is there a mortgage crisis? Yes! We have all bought into the real estate hype. We have all borrowed money in the form of equity from houses whose value is based on the over zealous perception of all of our fantasies. Is the house really worth that much? It is if we all say so….but it isn’t worth much if you can’t pay the mortgage and nobody can buy it. And that is where we are at now.
So now these financial institutions need to be bailed out because if they aren’t the economy will fall. Lets refrase that: The institutions, which are based on empty widgets, will go out of business. If they go out of business apparently the rest of us who service the people who run those institution will not have wealthy clients any more and we will hurt as well.
But wait a minute. It is a whole house of cards. What are we bailing out? Businesses that trade empty widgets. They should be put out of business. We shouldn’t be serving these people anyway. Our economy should be based on more solid interactions. Maybe some people won’t get outrageously wealthy. But the rest of us will have a more fulfilling economy.
But no, the Bush and Co. crooks are rushing to “bail out” their crook friends. I read in the NY times today that the number is 700 Billion. His package is swift and efficient. The proposal is less than three pages long. It gives the Treasury, supposedly an institution that looks after the people, total control to buy and sell the mortgages as it wishes. Using out money!!!
To give a little perspective. When Katrina hit New Orleans the aid package was slow and inefficient. From my recollection it was around 60 billion, less than one tenth the package Bush wants to give Wall Street. Thats probably the difference between the average income between a New Orleans resident and a financial person on wall street. i.e. A New Orleans resident might make $20,000 a year and the average Wall Street person might make $200,000 per year.
But New Orleans has very few Bush friends. Him and his company have very little to gain by helping New Orleans.
But “bailing out” the golden It is a total fucking scam! It is a scam to pass even more little people money to the crooks of wall street.
The economy is high on empty widgets! It does not belong that high. It is artificial.
And another thing: what crisis? I had the privilege of going to a soiree this week in Manhattan where a small group of influential people got together to network. Among them was a high ranking director of Morgan Stanley.
He stated that Morgan Stanley is far from hurting financially. It has billions in cash reserves. Hmmm…. what crisis? He didn’t see one. He says that whats going on now is just a move to create larger more international banks. He says that eventually there will be just a few very large international banks….
I didn’t share with him my opinion on the whole thing because I am admittedly a total peon in financial knowledge and would come across as some conspiracy guy (which I am, but he sees conspiracy theories as stupid where I see them as worth looking into to see if they might have truth).
His opinions are based on seeing the financial numbers of the economy. My opinions are based on my personal common sense and what I gleam from alternative news sources (I only read the NY times when my rich neighbor throws it out unread). So we differ in perspective.
I’m not judging here. I prefer my perspective despite the power his perspective still holds in the world as it is now. I am looking into the “what if” as an idealist. He is looking into how to make himself and his company billions. Both powerful sights to set on.
I’ve gone off a bit. Main Point: the bail out is a scam. Why are we bailing out gold cuff link guys who already made billions on our backs? Because the government is a facade to falsely act in our favor while passing money from us (the masses who are not billionaires) to the powerful and already rich.
It is repeated over and over. Look at the wars Bush and Co. create so that they can justify giving our money to their private institutions (arms makers to blow it all up then contractors to build it back again in an ongoing circle of carnage and stupidity). But that’s another story….
We are watching a BUST OUT of our nation! Bush and Co. has taken over the United States and is using it as their own company to borrow money in our name (we owe almost $11 TRILLION and counting). They get the money. But we have to pay it back.
Remember Brasscheck.TV’s definition of a Bust Out:
“an organized crime group takes over a business, borrows as much as it can in the business’ name, fails to pay vendors and then disappears with all the cash.”
Our country is being run into the ground by crooks and criminals. Bush may be the most unpopular president in history but do you think he cares? He has successfully made billions for his people. He is the most popular president in history for the elite. And that is who feeds him. We are being swindled in broad daylight. Like lambs we watch as the wolves run around us.
Did you know ant eaters make relatively good pets? Thats what I hear.
Not that I don’t think having pets is slavery. Why is it not ok to own another person but it is ok to own a dog? Oh, I forgot, humans are superior. Bullshit. And anyone who argues that dogs are part of the family never saw the bond that is made between a white child and its slave nurse maid.
I don’t know. It’s not like pets are disappearing any time soon so I’m raging against the wind. We only just got rid of slavery in the law books. In practice of course it is still big business. Did you know you can buy a child for about $300US in Haiti? Thats only a couple hours away from my home in Brooklyn.
And we’re not talking adoption by two loving parents. We’re talking do whatever you want to the child because you own it. Most of them end up being slaves to men: sex and house chores.
Anyway, ant eaters don’t give a shit what the superior race does.
Walmart is anti-union. I am anti-union……but I don’t support Walmart. I’m anti-union because I wouldn’t be able to make a living if I had to pay my workers union wages. I simply wouldn’t be able to hire them. So we have this agreement that a non-union job is better than no job. For me a non-union company is better than no company. I look forward to the day when I can pay my workers union pay.
I still wouldn’t work with the union, though. Unions are needed if there is a breakdown of communication between boss and worker. As long as boss and worker are communicating openly and honestly with each others mutual interests in mind then I don’t think a union is needed. I suspect this is only possible if the company stays small. If there are thousands of workers then a union makes sense.
Walmart makes more money than they know what to do with. Come on! They can afford to pay better wages and treat their workers with more respect. Walmart is crap.
This is a movie I really want to see.
It is about the people who went through the Katrina storm and the resulting organizational breakdown of help. Their web site is here.
