WickiLeaks.ch BUYS AN INSURANCE POLICY

THE POLICY, A THREAT FROM JULIAN.

WICKILEAKS IS FINDING IT DIFFICULT 
TO STAY ON LINE AND IS ON THE RUN MOVING
FROM LOCATIONS WHERE THEY ARE NO LONGER 
WELCOME. WIKILEAKS OPTIONS ARE SHRINKING.
THE ATTEMPT TO KEEP JULIAN FROM BEING
ARRESTED AND JAILED CONSISTS OF NEW ONLINE 
INSURANCE POLICY CREATED AND RELEASED TO
A VAST NETWORK OF ANONYMOUS COMPUTER 
FANS ACROSS THE GLOBE. THESE ARE
PORTFOLIOS CONTAINING ANOTHER AND EVEN 
LARGER CACHE OF POSTS MINED FROM MOSTLY
INSECURE  U.S. GOVERNMENT INTRANET SYSTEMS 
USEDBY DIPLOMATS, POLITICIANS, AND THE MILITARY.
THEY WRONGLY ASSUMED THAT WHAT IS SAID AND 
SENT ON THIS SYSTEM IS SECURE. JULIAN IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PENTAGON AND MOST 
POLITICIANS DEMANDING AN EXPENSIVE  AND
IMMEDIATE OVER-HAUL OF THE SYSTEM.

HIS INSURANCE POLICY IS PACKETS OF
INFORMATION AT UNKNOWN LOCATIONS. 
THEY HAVE A SECURITY CODE. ONLY A "KEY"
RELEASED BY WickiLeaks.ch EXECUTIVES
WILL UNLOCK THE FILES. THE LEVEL OF 
SECURITY HAS EVEN TOP LEVEL U.S. 
GOVERNMENT HACKERS STYMIED. THE BEST 
OF THEM HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO HACK INTO 
THIS FILE. THE KEY ITSELF IS TUCKED 
AWAY SAFELY AT AN UNKNOWN LOCATION. 
THE RELEASE OF THIS KEY WILL OCCUR ON 
THE DAY JULIAN IS ARRESTED OR IMPRISONED. 
THE INSTANT RELEASE OF THESE FILES WILL BE 
ON A GLOBAL SCALE AND IMPOSSIBLE TO BLOCK. 
HIS COLLABORATORS DO NOT HAVE ACCESS
TO THESE FILES BUT OWN THE  VOLUNTARY 
ZOMBIE COMPUTERS . THEY WILL SPREAD THE 
FILES IN THE SAME MANNER THAT A VIRUS SPREADS 
TO THE INTERNET INFRASTRUCTURE. IN
FACT IT IS A VIRUS THAT WILL RESULT IN MORE
EMBARRASSMENT AND FARTHER DECAY OF THE 
U.S.IMAGE. THIS MAY RESULT IN AN INCURABLE
DISEASE CALLED MINUSI CONFIDENCIA.  
PERHAPS I HAVE UNDERESTIMATED THIS
FRAGILE FERRET LIKE MAN WHO SEEMS TO 
BROUGHT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT TO IT'S KNEES.

WIKILEAK SPIN DOWN

WIKILEAKS SPINS DOWN 

JULIAN ASSANGE,THE FERRET LOOK ALIKE, HAS DODGED
HIS ENEMIES DEFTLY. HOWEVER THE NOOSE MAY SOON
TIGHTEN AROUND HIS NECK. HE IS A PERSONALITY THAT
PEOPLE EITHER DETEST OR HEAP ADMIRATION ON. HIS
PHYSICAL PRESENCE IS ENOUGH TO PUT ME OFF AND
MAKES ME WONDER WHAT THIS STRANGE LOOKING
CREATURE MIGHT TRULY BE UP TO. SURELY HE MUST
POSSES AN EGO AS BIG AS A HOUSE. FRAIL LOOKING
GUYS WITH NAPOLEONIC COMPLEXES ALWAYS SCARE ME.

HIS PERSONAL LIFE IS CREEPING INTO THE MEDIA WHO ARE
BEGINNING TO MOLD HIM INTO A  SORT OF PERVERTED
CASPER THE GHOST DRIFTING THROUGH GLOBAL PLAYGROUNDS.
AS CREEPY LOOKING AS HE MAY BE I DO NOT ENVISION
HIM AS A VIOLENT MAN. HOWEVER REMEMBER THE
SAME WAS SAID OF SON OF SAM ,THE  BOMBER TED KACZYNSKI
AND A NUMBER OF PAST DEADLY CRIMINALS WHO WHERE   
EXCESSIVELY INTROVERTED AND GEEKY LOOKING. ONE   
THING HE SHARES WITH THESE INFAMOUS CRIMINALS IS 
A HIGH LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE AND A CUNNING TALENT 
TO OPERATE IN A STEALTH MODE.

SOME HAVE SUGGESTED THAT A MISSILE UP THE TAILPIPE
OF HIS VOLVO WOULD BE A JUSTIFIABLE SOLUTION FOR
THE LIKES OF HIM. SHOULD THE WARRANTS ISSUED FOR
HIS ARREST TRULY EXIST THEN WHY DON'T THEY CUFF
THE CRITTER AND LOCK HIM UP.

I TAKE HIM LIGHTLY SINCE MOST OF WHAT HE HAS "EXPOSED"
IS AND HAS BEEN FOR SOME TIME ALREADY LEAKED, IS
AVAILABLE AND EXIST AS CERTIFIABLE RUMORS. ASSANGE
HAS BEEN BOOTED OUT BY A US BASED DOMAIN HOST AND
HACKERS HAVE CAUSED HIM DIFFICULTY. NO ONE WANTS THE
STABILITY OF THE NET INFRASTRUCTURE DAMAGED DUE
TO HOSTING THE NOW NEWLY RENAMED  WickiLeaks.ch.
THERE IS SOME TRUTH IN THIS SINCE DDOS ATTACKS COULD
THREATEN SENSIBLE ACCESS TO OVER A HALF MILLION
WEBSITES. FINDING NEW HOMES MAY BE DIFFICULT, 

WickiLeaks.ch IS ON THE MOVE.

WickiLeaks.ch AKA JULIAN ASSANGE, NOW DECLARES
THAT THE BANKS ARE NEXT ON THE HIT LIST, WITH SOME
GLEE I LOOK FORWARD TO THE EXPOSURE OF THESE
VULTURES WHO ARE IN LARGE PART RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS. MOST WENT SCOT-
FREE TO FORAGE AGAIN AND DESERVE A THRASHING.
NOT MUCH NEW COULD BE REVEALED ABOUT THIS
BAND OF ROBBERS SINCE WE ALREADY KNOW THE
ETHICAL AND MORAL SUBSTANCE OF MOST BANKERS
DWELLS IN THE THEIR ANAL CANAL. PERHAPS IT WILL GIVE
A THEATRICAL CLARITY TO WHAT WHAT WAS SAID IN THE
LADIES AND GENTS ROOM BETWEEN BANKERS. ANYONE
WITH A SMIDGEN OF IMAGINATION CAN GUESS EXACTLY
WHAT WILL BE REVEALED IN THIS LEAK.

WHAT IS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS PESKY MAN? TRIALS
FOR TREASON, SPYING ETC. WILL ONLY ENHANCE
HIS EFFORTS AND ELEVATE HIM TO A STATUS THAT ONLY
SAINTS AND WARRIORS ENJOY. NONE OF THE WELL
TRUMPETED LEGAL  ACTIONS HAVE MATERIALIZED INTO
AN ARREST. REMEMBER THAT GRAND JURIES IN TH U.S.
ARE HELD IN SECRET AND ARREST WARRANTS ARE
OFTEN HELD FOR SERVICE AT A CONVENIENT TIME. HE WILL
IN  DUE TIME , HERE OR ABROAD, FACE JUSTICE AND MOST
ASSUREDLY IMPRISONMENT
.

JULIAN IS SURE TO BE SET FOR LIFE WITH RESIDUALS
THAT WILL OUTLAST ANY TIME HE MIGHT SPEND IN
PRISON. HE IS OFTEN ACCUSED OF FORMING WIKI LEAKS
FOR EXACTLY THIS REASON. THAT LEAK IS PROBABLY
INCORRECT SINCE I  TRULY BELIEVE THAT HE FORMED
WIKI LEAKS AS AN IDEALISTIC FORMAT TO EXPOSE EVIL.
I AM CERTAIN THAT HE NEVER EXPECTED TO GAIN A
POSITION OF PROMINENT STATUS AS THE KING OF
POP INFORMATION. THE PUBLIC WILL NEVER TRULY
UNDERSTAND HIM SINCE THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM
ON A BLACKBERRY SCREEN TO READ AND UNDERSTAND
THE SIGNIFICANCE AND LATENT IMPORTANCE OF HIS
LEAKS. THE PUBLIC CAN ONLY VIEW HIS LEAKS
THROUGH FILTERS LIKE FOX NEWS, CNN, ABC, AND
OTHERS. THESE FILTERS ARE NOT THE BEST SOURCE FOR
FILTERING TRUTH AND ACCURACY. WITH THE ADVENT
AND AN EXPLOSION IN INTERNET INFORMATION A RIVER
OF INFORMATION HAS BEEN INSTANTLY SHRUNK TO A
DRIBBLE THAT FITS ON A HAND HELD DEVICE, THANKS TO
TWITTER, FACE BOOK ETC FOR THIS. THE VAST MAJORITY
OF CITIZENS HAVE FOUND A VENUE FOR DIGESTING
INFORMATION ON THEIR LEVEL AND TIME FRAME,
THIS WOULD BE BETWEEN AND DURING VISITS TO STAR-BUCKS, 
THE DRIVE HOME AND SHORT BURSTS OF FOX NEWS, CNN,  
NBC AND SOCIAL SITES BEFORE NODDING OUT.

CAN THIS FORESHORTENING OF INFORMATION INFORM
AND EDUCATE?  THIS IS THE FUTURE OF THE INFORMATION
PORTAL CALLED THE INTERNET. THROUGH CLEVER
TECHNOLOGICAL MANIPULATION THIS SEA OF INFORMATION
HAS BEEN SHRUNK TO THE SIZE OF A BLOW UP BACK YARD
WADING POOL FOR TODDLERS TO SPLASH ABOUT IN. WHO
CAN POSSIBLY VENTURE AN INFORMED OPINION AS TO
HIS GUILT OR INNOCENCE?

GOOGLE IS NOT FOR EVERYONE.

THE RECENT FLAP OVER  GOOGLE'S  DOMINANCE OVER

OTHER SEARCH ENGINES IS RIDICULOUS. ONE IS NOT

FORCED TO USE GOOGLE  SEARCH ENGINE. NOT

PROMOTING  COMPETITORS IS CALLED "FAIR TRADE"

IN MOST CIRCLES , IT IS BRAINLESS TO DO THIS.

THIS WOULD EQUAL  A  NAIVE FRUIT VENDOR STANDING
AT HIS ENTRANCE AND DIRECTING HIS POTENTIAL
CUSTOMERS TO ANOTHER FRUIT MARKET.

GOOGLE ADMITTEDLY CORNERED THE MARKET.

THEY ACCOMPLISHED THIS BY SUPPLYING A FACILE, RELIABLE,

SOURCE FOR USERS. COMPETITION IS HEALTHY, WHY

SHOULD GOOGLE UNDERMINE THEIR MARKET BY SENDING

USERS TO ANOTHER AND MOST LIKELY A LESS RELIABLE

SEARCH ENGINE. EVERYONE IS ONLY A CICK AWAY FROM

REJECTING GOOGLE. JUST CLICK YOUR MOUSE AND GO

TO FOUNDEM OR SUCH.

GOOGLE SUPPLIED AN OPEN FORUM FOR YEARS ,

USERS ARE SELDOM DENIED USE OF GOOGLE.

THEY CAPTURED MOST OF THE MARKET WITH UNPARALLELED

SERVICE, AN OPEN DOOR POLICY, AND A DIRECT PATH TO

AN INCREDIBLE ARRAY OF RELIABLE INFORMATION FOR

USERS. WE SHOULD HAVE SUCH TRANSPARENCY IN THE

GOVERNMENT AND CORPORATIONS.

SEARCH ENGINES WHO PICK THE BONES OF GOOGLE ALSO
USE THIS RELIABLE SOURCE TO FATTEN UP ON. THE ABSURD

CONSIDERATION OF LEVELING PENALTIES FOR  SUPPLYING
MOST OF THE WORLD WITH A RELIABLE AND OPEN SOURCE
IS AN INSULT TO GOOGLE AND THOSE WHO UTILIZE IT GLOBALLY,
IT IS AN ASSAULT ON BASIC FREEDOMS OF INFORMATION.

YES IT IS TRUE "NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED". A

SEARCH ENGINE THAT  RANKED NEAR THE TOP FOR

YEARS MAY PAY FOR IT'S SINS WITH TWO BILLION IN COLD

CASH, MORE OR LESS.

IN THE INTEREST OF FAIR PLAY AND FULL DISCLOSURE I

WILL ADMIT MY PREJUDICE SINCE I AM A CARD CARRYING

GOOGLE USER AND BLOGGER.

I WOULD NEVER DREAM OF USING FOUNDUM, EJUSTICE.FR

OR CIAO ,ESPECIALLY CIAO. WHEN I HAVE EASY ACCESS THE

RELIABILITY OF GOOGLE, U. TUBE, AND GOOGLE MAPS.

ALL THESE GOOGLE SITES OR UNDER THE MICROSCOPE

OF JEALOUS PROVIDERS AND PARANOID BUREAUCRATS

WITH QUESTIONABLE REASONS UNDER THEIR HATS AND

BETWEEN THEIR LEGS.

WHY SEEK OUT A SEARCH ENGINE WITH "ORIGINAL"

CONTEXT IS OR POSSIBLY SOURCED

DIRECTLY FROM GOOGLE. JUST CLICK ON GOOGLE  TO

AVOID THIS REDUNDANCY OF EFFORT. I HAVE NOT A
NOTION IF GOOGLE LOG RHYTHMS BOOGIE SOME PEOPLE
OUT OF THE TOP OR NOT. HOWEVER WHY SHOULD THEY

GIVE AWAY THEIR "FAMOUS ANDY" COOKIE RECIPE TO

OTHER SEARCH ENGINES OR BUREAUCRATS WHO HAVE

FREQUENT BAKE SALES LEADING TO UNDESERVED PROFIT.

IN THE SPIRIT OF AN OPEN FORUM GOOGLE AGREED

TO COOPERATE WITH ALMOST ANYONE WHO WITH A QUESTION.

AFTER ALL THEY FACILITATE  MILLIONS OF USERS EACH DAY,
WITHOUT HESITATION EACH HOUR AND EVERY MINUTE AND
SECOND.

LET THE COOKIES FALL WHERE THEY MAY AND THE

AMATEURS WILL CONTINUE TO EAT CRUMBS FROM
THE BOTTOM OF THE COOKIE JAR.

THE HIGH COST OF THE DRUG WAR?

OVERNIGHT SOLUTIONS ARE NOT IN THE FUTURE .
PROHIBITION OF ALCOHOL HAD THE SAME
HISTORY OF FEEDING CRIME AND CORRUPTION.
CANNABIS WILL EVENTUALLY FIND A PATH TO SOME
SORT OF LEGISLATION  LEADING TO THE CREATION
OF A HUGE INDUSTRY THAT WILL BENEFIT AMERICANS
AND NOT CRIMINALS.

A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM IS SIMPLE AND
SHOULD BE LEGISLATED ASAP. THE COST OF
COUNTER MEASURES TO THIS CRIME HAS GROWN
EXPONENTIALLY IN THE LOSS OF LIVES AND THE COST
OF ENFORCING EXISTING OBSOLETE LAWS. 

AMERICA YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.
 
MARY JANE IS A CASH CROP IN AMERICA THAT
MOSTLY BENEFITS CRIMINALS AND NOW WITH THE
HYPOCRITICAL MASS AGRICULTURE IN PLACE WILL
LARGELY BENEFIT NEWLY FORMED CORPORATIONS
THAT ARE IN NOW IN PLACE SET TO GOBBLE UP 
THE PROFITS OF "MEDICAL MARIJUANA "


THE SMALL FARMER,WHO MIGHT HAVE REPLACED HIS
CORN, WHEAT, AND VEGIES WITH THE SINGLE SOLUTION
OF GROWING ILLEGAL POT WILL HAVE TO LOOK FOR
ANOTHER CASH CROP.

AMERICANS  STUBBORNLY DENY THAT  ALCOHOL IS A
MUCH MORE DAMAGING LEGAL HABIT.

THE MYTH THAT MARIJUANA IS EVIL AND IS A PORTAL THAT
LEADS TO COCAINE AND OTHER DANGEROUS DRUGS IS
ANOTHER CON JOB BY THE GOVERNMENT SUPPORTED
BY THE RIGHT AND LEFT. YOU MIGHT CONSIDER CLOSING
THAT PORTAL BY ALLOWING MOST AMERICAN'S TO
HAVE THEIR LOVE AFFAIR WITH MARY JANE MINUS
THE FEAR OF BECOMING CRIMINALS. 

LEGALIZE IT ,COLLECT TAXES, AND OVERNIGHT ELIMINATE
THE HORRIBLE COST OF ENFORCING THE LAWS AND
THE MORE HORRIFIC COST IN LIVES. INDISCRIMINATE
USE OF ALCOHOL LEADS TO A DREADED DISEASE THAT
CRIPPLES THE USER, HIS FAMILY AND A SUBSTANTIAL
SEGMENT OF SOCIETY.

INDISCRIMINATE USE OF POT MOSTLY RESULTS IN
AN INCREASE IN APPETITE. MORE PEOPLE DIE FROM
THE USE OF ALCOHOL GLOBALLY THAN MOST DEADLY
EPIDEMICS COMBINED. THIS IS THE TRULY EVIL DRUG.

DENY THE PROFIT TO THE CARTELS AND ADMIT THAT
THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS ALREADY IN PLACE FOR THE
SALE AND DISTRIBUTION OF MARY JANE. THE ONLY
DAMAGE WILL BE TO SMALL GROWERS WHO WILL
BE ELIMINATED BY CORPORATIONS WHO ARE ALREADY
INVESTING IN LAND AND WAREHOUSING TO GROW
AND DISTRIBUTE THIS DREADED SUBSTANCE. 
THE MONEY WILL REMAIN IN THE U.S. ECONOMY AND
WILL CREATE JOBS AND A NEW INDUSTRY, MUCH NEEDED
IN THE PRESENT NATIONAL CLIMATE.

PERHAPS IT IS TIME FOR THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT, WEAK
REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS, THE PRESIDENT, CONGRESS
AND THE SENATE AND THE HUGE NUMBER OF AMERICANS
WHO HYPOCRITICALLY  USE THIS SUBSTANCE REGULARLY,
CONTRIBUTING TO CRIME AND THE COST OF ENFORCEMENT
WILL THEY CONFESS TO THIS SIN AGAINST SOCIETY ?
ADMIT YOUR SINS AMERICA AND REPENT.

PAYING THE FREIGHT

Recently a misinformed friend complained of
the high cost of shipping the President to various
countries on his recent tour. The cost of shipping a
president for any reason has always been expensive
but for political/economic expediency it often is
cost effective.

There was never a complaint about the cost of shipping
Bush around in spite the glaring fact that the results were
mostly never cost effective. The cost of shipping an intelligent
president or an idiot is about the same. Why the flap? it
seems that whatever Obama does vultures await in the
shadows to pick his bones, correction, his "black bones".

Please realize that culturally we are racists in the
United States , hiding behind a very thin veils basking
in the dark behind prejudice and ignorance. We simply
prefer a white president and not a black president.
I would like to point out that Obama is a glass half
full of black and white, however it is a full glass. Since
slavery one is considered black in the U.S. if one drop of
blood exist and can be traced back to a relative who is black.
In most peoples minds he is black. Which suggest to them
ignorance, possible culturally deficiencies and a preference
for supporting black issues and the dreaded creep of
imagined socialism.

The Civil War that fought over slavery still rages. Perhaps
sometime latent, ingrained by years of indoctrination
by history and politics. My admission to this fault is self
incriminating since when strolling I unconsciously cross
the street when I see a black man approaching me. This
is not a one party fault since Democrats and Republicans
alike share my cultural faults.

Globally racism sadly continues to run free in most
countries. Often it is now based on religion as well as
political formats. The United States does not have
the monopoly on this epidemic that seems to increase
daily.

The pathetic fact is that most of the banks and
corporations are run by lily white folks. Universally
it was white people who got us into this mess. Could
a black or even a white man turn around 15 or 20
years of greed and legalized usury in one term.

Think about this!

We rapidly approach the Presidential election, and we
shall see what goes down. What will happen if there is
a substantial decrease in unemployment?

Prediction, the idiocy and faulty policies will march
right back into the white house even if the failing
economy steps out of the closet and shines. We
will return to the old format of the privileged
running the banks and economy. This will result
in a slow recovery and we will blame the
"black man"for the lag and jettisons him in a
blaze of ignorance, never mind if his attempts
fail or succeed, the political process is in motion,
Obama will likely serve only one term. It would
be difficult to halt the freight train of misguided
citizens with that amount of political fat aboard.
The public will probably deny any progress and
return to the antiquated political processes
that will spell out an undefined future for most
Americans , especially those who are not a part of
the "privileged white class".

The rest of the world now views us as arrogant,
over privileged and generally fat and greedy. If the
shoe fits wear it with stupid pride.!

WHO REALLY LOST IN MID-TERM

Who really lost in the midterm elections?

Obviously Obama lost a lot of ground and no
longer has a true bully pulpit, one that he underused
in caution and weakness , that is his nature.
However he can now soon include the Republicans
in the nations failures. The consensus is growing
that the legislative branches of the government
believe they are there to pass laws that will give
them clout back home allowing them to continue
to be employed. Both sides of the aisle do not
monitor those laws once they have points for
reemployment by simply passing laws that "might"
possible benefit their constituents. The Democrats
lost some power but the stagnation of politics in
the U.S. had already drained that power to a
dribble of use. The citizenry lost any hope of
change for at least until the next presidential
election. Obama will in the end be a one term
president. Mostly we all lost in this election.

What does it all mean and how will,in truth, it
change politics in the U.S. and Globally?

Changes are unlikely to happen in the U.S. or
Globally. There will probably be a substantial
increase of young Americans returning in body
bags. They will almost entirely be volunteers
from the working class of America few will be
from privileged families. The "tribal war" will
continue in Afghanistan. We will continue to
wage futile wars as though we where "crusading"
not nation building. Will we never wake up to
the fact that the people of Iran, Pakistan,
Afghanistan, Iraq, and most countries in that
area see us as another tribe trying to grab
economic and political power. Globally we are
seen as "crusaders" as so stupidly put by
President Bush. There is some truth in this.
We will continue and most likely increase the
drain on the economy by waging "crusades"
of questionable justification. This matrix of
wasteful crusading will most likely continue
with your next president is elected who will
assuredly be a Republican

How tangible are the changes ?

The tangible benefits and changes are elusive.
Not likely that they will reach the average
American soon. However there may be an
increase in employment as Republicans
increase their responsibility if they continue
to blindly stonewall the entire political
process. They need to take that back home
increased employment to keep their jobs.
They are mostly building a monument to
procrastination and stupidity that will
endure. Each member of the Senate and
House should receive a small replica of
this monument to place next to their
miniature Statue of Liberty on their desk.
This is a redundant trait in American politics
that has a distinguished and dubious history
going back to the Revolution. The only true
benefit is that we must now seriously consider
health care in America. Not the cost of insurance
but the cost of the actual care. Or will it morph
into another commercial platform to benefit
insurance companies and not most Americans?
Most likely this problem will be kicked ahead
until the presidential election. Not many
tangible benefits to brag about. Hopefully
this stagnation will become a major issue
requiring President Obama,congress and the
house to get to work and stop quibbling like
children fighting over toys (IE. votes) in a sandbox.

The virtual Tea Party should return
to the Republican fold.

The emergence of the virtual Tea Party as
an expression of anger and dissatisfaction
is a non event of little value. Most will return
to the Republican party where they might
possibly contribute to the betterment of the
party. Many were put to pasture like cows
to chew on their cud. Historically anger and
dissatisfaction is not a substantial issue to
build a Party on.

Questions not answers, in the final analysis.
Not much of a constructive nature has
happened. Americans have the ability to
elect a president congressmen and senators
who will restore the dignity and economy of
America. You are the government. Please
vote with more responsibly in the future
and stop your whining. Face the reality that
it will be a slow recovery no matter what and
no matter who is in office.

CONFUSION IN THE NATION

"Be what you would seem to be - or
if you would like to put more simply
- never imagine yourself not to be
otherwise than what it might appear
others that what if might appear to
others that what you were or might
have been was not otherwise than
what you had been would have
appeared to them otherwise".

The incredible storm of misinformation
was summed up by Lewis Carrol
in this quote. Describes, individuals,
Republicans, Democrats and all the
new misinformed nubs that have
formed and morphed since Obama
was elected.

The media, the public, and the politicians
has worked up a lather of mistrust and
cofusion that even Carrol would be hard
put to understand.

THE U.S. IS A HOUSE DIVIDED

This week I declare , somewhat with tongue in cheek,
that we do not learn from history I will use a number
of quotes to illustrate that point. This is cross cultural
but primarily is applied to our sad state of existence as
a people now. There is something for everyone here left,
right, religious, agnostic etc.etc.etc.
The first quote is the most universal of all and is found
in the bible. This wise but mostly ignored, often proven
fact, has been a reality for some time. Matthew 12:25
Knowing their thoughts, he said to them, “Every kingdom
divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house
divided against itself will stand. ...If the members of a
group fight each other, the group will disintegrate". This
rings true and is good advice for Republicans and Democrats
who have destroyed order and created chaos in their
stubborn division. For no good reason or purpose.

Abraham Lincoln considered division when he declared in
his "House Divided" Speech
Lincoln stated: "Familiarize yourselves with the chains of
bondage and you prepare your own limbs to wear them
What constitutes the bulwark of our own liberty and
independence? It is not our frowning battlements, our
bristling sea coasts, our army and our navy.... Our
reliance is in the love of liberty which God has planted
in us. Our defense is in the spirit which prizes liberty as
the heritage of all men, in all lands everywhere. Destroy
this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism
at your own doors. spirit which prizes liberty as the
heritage of all men, in all lands everywhere".
"House Divided" Speech by Abraham Lincoln

A brief pause for humor, What is the nickname of a
1925 court case in which John Scopes was charged
with teaching evolution in the classroom? The trial was
nicknamed the ChaCha. Another example of the halting
of progress in the history of man and monkey. This was
a phrase that was generated by the sensational press of
the time and not lady GaGa. This divided the nation
pretty much down the middle into the religious right
and the "scientific left".

"George Washington delivered this speech over 200
years ago. The General spoke from a prepared text for
approximately five minutes. The remarks were built
around a series of parallel constructions that
emphasized the men's common sacrifice. They
had become like family, and he only wanted what
was just and right for them. But they must not be
imprudent or disloyal, not after having gone through
so much together, and not when so the men were
moved by his appeals--in fact, it was the most powerful
speech they had ever heard him deliver. To illustrate
I wish to turn to the man, the 200Th anniversary of
whose passing we shall be celebrating within the
week, and that is George Washington. We don't
usually think of Washington this way, but the historical
record bears out that the father of our country was a
master rhetorician when it came to expressing
love to, and eliciting love from, an audience. "from an
article by Gleaves Whitney-Recovering Rhetoric: How
Ideas, Language and Leadership can Triumph in
Most-Modern Politics". Published on January 14,
2000 by Gleaves Whitney

The speech was given by Washington when he got
wind of a mounting insurrection that was dividing
the war effort into two camps among his officers.
This was a crucial and deciding factor in this conflict that
would have undermined the nations defense.

Another pause for humor of a ironic nature. "Democracy
is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better
than we deserve". George Bernard Shaw. (1856 - 1950)
One must realize that Bernie must have had the average
American of today in mind when he uttered these words. You are
often the enemy not government.
Napoleon Bonaparte must have had a crystal ball when
he said that [Medicine is] "a collection of uncertain
prescriptions the results of which, taken collectively,
are more fatal than useful to mankind". French general
& politician (1769 - 1821).

Recently Obama has set up a new matrix for a new racist
attitude which was already at the root of some of his
unpopularity. This is a speech by By Aloha kakou. Mahalo.
Directed at the people of Hawaii who have for years
practiced a de-facto racism towards the indigenous people
of this far away state. Mostly known as a great all inclusive
golf vacation spot for the rich. No one leaves the safety of the
golf course to venture into the world of injustice and racism
that is outside. "The people of Hawaii are thoroughly intermarried and
intermingled. We live, work, pray, and attend school
side by side in the most racially integrated society
in all of America. What history and the free choices
of people have joined together, let not politicians
and racist demagogues rip asunder. Support equality,
unity, brotherhood, and aloha for all."

Obama has in his supposed innocence become the
man who has inadvertently divided the nation
racially for this reason and others he will be a one
term president. We would do well to remember
this quote from the
journal of John Adams. (1735 - 1826),
Journal, 1772 "There is danger from all men. The
only maxim of a free government ought to be trust
no man living ought with power to endanger the
public liberty".

Perhaps Obama has inadvertently done this but as
Harry Truman said " The buck stops here" Our
president is where the buck stops and no matter
how you rationalize it he is responsible for this sad
state of the nation. He is also responsible for the
diminished economic and political power that we
have taken for granted for so long.


You might accuse me of cynicism but again George
has some humorous advice for you about real
observation and real blame. "The power of accurate
observation is commonly called cynicism by those
who have not got it". George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)

One of our brilliant past president summed it up in one
quote that rings true with all politicians to the extreme
in this political climate. "You know what's interesting
about Washington ? It's the kind of place where
second-guessing has become second nature"
George W. Bush (1946 - ), Speech on May 17, 2002.
Thank you for those words of wisdom George which
about sums up most of the inhabitants ,underground
,above ground and loitering around the halls in
Washington these days.

Nation building is not needed in Iraq, or Afghanistan
or any place else but right here at home in the U.S.A.
We are paralyzed and divided by fear and mistrust
that there is now a critical need to rebuild the nation.
Not in the same old way but with a realistic eye to
the future. Again, "There is danger from all men. The
only Maxim of a free government ought to be to trust
no man living with power to endanger the public liberty".
John Adams (1735 - 1826), Journal, 1772

We have entrusted the nation to a man who for whatever
reason he has endangered public liberty simply by his
lack of leader ship, lack of accomplishments, and the
failures in domestic and foreign policies. Now we have
lost a war and the hearts and minds of most of most of
the world. " What others think of us would be of little
moment did it not , when known, so deeply tinge what we
think of ourselves". Paul Valery (1871 - 1945)

Until the restoration of our "status" as a world power
and leader we will, as individuals, remain in this sad state.
We are a nation divided, fragmented, and paralyzed
by our own inadequate sense of self.

WILL THE COST OF WAR RESULT IN PEACE ?

The year is 1989, December 20Th and Panama is
invaded by formidable U.S. force that included
27,684 troops and over 300 aircraft. Soundly
defeating the 46,000 Panamanian Defense Force.
Officially 200 Panamanian civilians died in the
conflict, many say that more like 2000 died due
to the brutal use of firepower in populated areas.
"JUST CAUSE" was justified by the U.S. as
the defense of human rights in Panama and
combating drug trafficking. The end result
was to guarantee the continued safe use of
the Panama Canal and the capture of the corrupt
president of Panama, Manuel Noriega and his
subsequent trial and imprisonment . He was
wanted for drug trafficking in the U.S. after years
of U.S. support that allowed his existence.

The Year is 2010 and the United States has landed
the 4Th fleet in Costa Rica. The President is
not wanted for Drug trafficking. This invasion is by
invitation of President Chihuahua and the Costa
Rica ruling body politic. The reason , combating
drug trafficking and to perform acts of mercy
and peace. Sound familiar ?

Most Central American countries have served as a
de facto pipeline for drugs like marijuana, cocaine,
and now the new "chemically" concocted drugs
to the U.S. and Europe. They have notoriously
turned the other cheek and allowed the transport
and some cases raw materials for the drug cartels.
No "criminal acts",involved only a breakdown of
responsibility and morality. The new apple in the
garden of Eden in this decade is greed and power.
Only Nicaragua can truly be excluded in this
group of facilitators.

However the invasion will probably be short lived
since most of the fleet will depart soon possibly parking
offshore in Venezuelan waters in a show of force. This
is in support of Colombia who is the supplier of
most of the worlds cocaine and 80% of the concrete
used in Panama. The media is now "predicting" at the
least an eminent border war between Colombia
and Venezuela.

The economic cost of an "out of control war" in South
America is almost an impossibility at this point. After all
the trade between Colombia and Venezuela is now
calculated to be $5 billion yearly. The U.S. has poured
over $5 billion in U.S. aid into Colombia and has infused
U.S. advisers throughout their huge military complex .
Venezuela has substantial oil reserves and supplies almost
20% of oil used in the U.S. Again the corporations
rule not the politicos.

An appetite for armed conflict does not exist in this climate.
Venezuela's military looks anemic when compared to
the U.S. backed Colombian military. Unless Chavez initiates
a Don Quixote attack on the 4Th fleet we will not see armed
conflict between the two (three?) nations. The poor in both
Venezuela and Colombia will remain poor and the de facto
trade and transport of Drugs will continue to grow. Ditto
Panama.

However the Drug cartels should beware since the seeds
for the legalization of drugs have been planted in the U.S.
This might herald the beginning of the end of free flowing
money to the criminal right. Already huge investments
are being made in real estate and facilities for the extensive
production of Marijuana in the state of California. If A new
industry is born leading the way to legalization of drugs.
Capitalism will win and the drug cartels will loose.

NATION BUILDING IN A TIME OF RECESSION

A CATCH 22 TYPE SCENARIO IS GOING
ON IN PARADISE. ON JULY 2ND THE
COST RICA CONGRESS AUTHORIZED A
FLOTILLA OF 46 US VESSELS TO ENTER
THIS SMALL PARADISE.(A MINIMAL
FORCE OF 113,000 PERSONNEL IS THE
REQUIRED PERSONNEL TO MAKE THIS FLEET
FUNCTIONAL) THE MAXIMUM PERSONAL
NEEDED COULD BE AS MUCH AS 200,000.
THE OUTSTANDING FEATURE OF THIS
FLOTILLA IS THE 7000 BATTLE READY
MARINES WHO WILL BE ALLOWED ON
SHORE IN FULL DRAG. IN ADDITION
THERE ARE 200 HELICOPTERS AND
WARPLANES STORED ON BOARD THE
SHIPS. THE FLOTILLA INCLUDES SOME
DEADLY SUBMARINE KILLER SHIPS TO
HUNT DOWN THE PESKY LITTLE NARCO
SUBS WHICH ARE SELDOM IN COSTA
RICAN WATERS. THIS WOULD LEAD ONE
TO BELIEVE THAT THE FLEET IS NOT JUST
THERE FOR HUMANITARIAN MISSIONS.
BUT WAIT, COSTA RICA HAS MORE THAN
LESS DIVORCED VENEZUELA AS A
GUARDIAN ANGEL. MAYBE THE FOURTH
FLEET IS THE NEW ANGEL IN THE WATER.
IN THE PAST THE FLEET FUNCTIONED AS
A HAMMER TO MAINTAIN "TRANQUILITY"
AND "STABILITY" IN LATIN AMERICA.
THE COAST GUARD ADMIRAL WHO COMMANDS
THE FLEET SAYS THEY ARE THERE FOR
"ANTI-NARCOTICS OPERATIONS AND
HUMANITARIAN MISSIONS UNTIL
DECEMBER. YEP THAT'S RIGHT, A COAST
GUARD ADMIRAL,WHICH MUST TICK OFF
A LOT OF NAVY ADMIRALS SINCE THE
FOURTH IS HARDLY A FLEET THAT GUARDS
PORTS, BRIDGES OR STANDS GUARD
OVER FAR AWAY COASTAL WATERS.
THE FOURTH WAS DESIGNED FOR THE
DESTRUCTION OF NATIONS. THE FIRE
POWER OF THE FLEET GIVES MACHISMO
TO THE "WAR ON DRUGS" SINCE IT IS LIKE
KILLING A SINGLE FLY WITH A SHOTGUN.
EXPECT SOME DRAMATIC RESULTS. ARE
THE PEOPLE OF COSTA RICA UPSET ? THEY
MOST CERTAINLY ARE. POLITICIANS FROM
ACCION CIUDADANA (PAC), THE UNIDAD
SOCIAL CRISTIANA (PUSC) AND THE FRENTE
APLIO (FA) SAYS THIS IS MORE FORCE
THAN YOU NEED FOR A PETITE WAR ON
DRUGS, SINCE COSTA RICA HAS LESS OF
A DRUG PROBLEM THAN MOST CENTRAL
AMERICAN COUNTRIES. THEY HAVE A POINT.

COSTA RICA HAS NOT HAD A STANDING
ARMY FOR 60 YEARS WHEN THE LARGEST
MILITARY FACILITY WAS HANDED OVER
TO THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION WHO
CONVERTED IT INTO A SCHOOL. THE
ARMY WAS DISBANDED AND THE FUNDS
USED TO SUPPORT EDUCATION AND
WELFARE PROGRAMS LIKE SOCIAL
SECURITY

PRESIDENT LAURA CHINCHILLA HAS
DENIED THAT A MILITARIZED FIGHT ON
DRUGS IS IN THE WORKS. THE PRESS
BLACKOUT BY THE WHITE HOUSE HAS
BEEN EFFECTIVE AND I DOUBT IF ANYONE
WILL NOTICE ANYTHING UNTIL THE
MARINES START SHOWING UP IN FULL
COMBAT DRAG AT THE LOCAL PUBS. THIS
INVASION OF PRIVACY MIGHT POSSIBLY
UPSET SOME COSTA RICANS. ?WHY NOT?

MANY WILL SUGGEST THEY QUICKLY SAIL
BACK TO MEXICO WHERE THIS KIND
OF FIRE-POWER AND THE MARINES
MIGHT BE PUT TO USE. IF THERE IS A
HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN COSTA RICA
IT IS A VIRTUAL ONE CREATED BY THE
U.S. A MAJOR CRISIS IS ONLY A FEW
CLICKS AWAY FROM THE HOME OF THE
4TH. THE GULF OF MEXICO IS ONLY A
FEW HOURS SAILING FROM THEIR HOME
BASE. I ASSUME THEY HAVE SOME GPS
DEVICES ABOARD TO FIND THEIR WAY
BACK THERE TO ATTEND TO A MAJOR
CRISIS RIGHT NEXT DOOR IN THE U.S.

THEY PROBABLY NEED SOME OF THAT
GOVERNMENT MONOPOLY GAS
RESERVES STORED IN COSTA RICA
THAT MOST CITIZENS THERE CAN NOT
POSSIBLY AFFORD. MY PREDICTION IS
THE FLEET WILL SAIL ON TO VENEZUELA
TO DO THE TANGO WITH CHAVEZ.
HOWEVER SINCE THEY ARE THERE
THEY MIGHT CONSIDER ASSISTING IN
THE REPAIR OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE
THAT IS FAST DECOMPOSING SINCE
BUDGET CUTS AND THE WORLDWIDE
RECESSION HAVE PUT THE COSTA RICA
INFRASTRUCTURE AND ECONOMY IN A
SAD STATE OF REPAIR. LOOKS STRANGE
FROM WHATEVER ANGLE YOU LOOK AT
IT. THERE IS NO EARTHLY OR HEAVENLY
REASON FOR THE 4TH TO BE IN COSTA
RICA UNDER THE GUISE OF A COAST
GUARD HUMANITARIAN FLEET.

LOOKING FOR REAL CLUES IS NOT
DIFFICULT SINCE AN ENORMOUS
MILITARY BUILDUP OF U.S. ADVISERS
AND EQUIPMENT IS UNDERWAY IN
BOLIVIA. A HUGE BASE HAS BEEN
CONSTRUCTED ON THE FRONTIER
OF BOLIVIA/VENEZUELA WHERE YOU
CAN PROBABLY A THROWN ROCK
THAT WILL BOUNCE OFF THE HELMET
OF A VENEZUELAN SOLDIER WHO IS
WAITING THERE FOR THE INVASION OF
THE WELL FINANCED BOLIVIAN ARMY
INTO HIS HOME COUNTRY. SINCE THE
2008 REACTIVATION OF THE 4TH FLEET
THINGS HAVE BEEN TOUCHY. PUT IN
MOTHBALLS IN 1950, THE PURPOSE
OF THIS FLEET HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO
DEFEND U.S. INTERESTS IN THE LATIN
AMERICAN REGION. IT IS NOW PERCEIVED
AS A DIRECT SUPPORT TO BOLIVIA AND
TO INTIMIDATE VENEZUELA. IT IS ALSO
SEEN BY MOST LATIN COUNTRIES
AS A MEANS OF INTIMIDATION AND A U.S.
DE-STABILIZATION TOOL IN LATIN AMERICA.
ONE BASE IN THE GUAJIRA PENINSULA
BORDERING THE VENEZUELAN STATE
OF ZULIA HAS UP TO 800 TROOPS AND
AN UNDETERMINED NUMBER OF U.S.
ADVISERS.

A HUGE AIR BASE ON THE BORDER,
CONSTRUCTED WITH U.S. AID , HAS
OVER 600 COMBAT READY AIRCRAFT
ON ALERT. THIS INCLUDES A VARIETY
OF FIGHTER JETS, 111 TRAINER T-3
WITH U.S. ADVISERS IN THE BACK
SEAT AND A VARIETY OF 115 ATTACK
CHOPPERS. THEY ALSO HAVE AN
UNDETERMINED NUMBER OF PRIVATE
MILITARY CONTRACTORS ON THE SCENE.
TWO OTHER ALMOST IDENTICAL BASES
HAVE BEEN BUILT AND EQUIPPED WITH
THE SAME STRENGTH. MY PREDICTION
IS THAT BOLIVIA WILL PROD CHAVEZ
UNTIL THERE IS AN OPEN WAR. NO
NEED TO WORRY COSTA RICA THE 4TH
FLEET HAS BIGGER FISH TO FRY.

IT IS CALLED NATION BUILDING.

PERSHIBLE GOODS

Mention of the word "CRUSADES" was responsible
for an international tirade directed at the United States
and specifically at then president Bush. This makes one
wonder if the balance of good and evil in religion has
benefited society all that much. Make no mistake this
is not about Catholicism or any other specific religion,
but about all religions that make claims to profess faith,
hope and charity in some form. The balance may be on
the side of evil when you realize millions of people have
perished under the banner of various religions. Most
people who exclude themselves from participation in
formal religious activity seldom commit mass murder or
genocide. Of course there are exceptions but far less than
imagined. Religions on "specific crusades of promotion"
have killed, maimed and caused incalculable suffering
for centuries. Religions are often at the root of Racism
and economic manipulation of the masses. Mass
genocide has resulted and continues by misdirected
Muslims who now have declared a Jihad to eliminate
all who are not "true believers". The Catholic church
sweeps under the rug major crimes by the catholic
clergy. Possibly thousands of children have been
molested and injured for life. This is not just in specific
countries but is a global problem. Is this not evil
and injurious to society? Crimes committed by the
catholic clergy in the present and past are now in the
global spotlight.

Perhaps the problem with religions is that men write
the rules and not an illusive God. Man has always been

less than perfect. Most religions are headed by men who
claim the exclusivity of direct communication with
God through a most complicated system that most
people accept with "blind faith" . It would seem that
man in his ant-like existence in the universe would
have a low priority on any Gods list of things to do. We are
specifically not important in the grand scheme. Our
tiny satellite universe is infinitesimal when viewed as
part of the wider Universe.

Global warming is only important to those affected directly

, it would be presumptuous for all to wage a war on

Global warming when it might just be a glitch that is

a normal or abnormal continuous evolution of the universe.

Should it be man made then a correction of this massive

error in judgement is a hopeless challenge. The best man

can do is adapt to this change. I doubt that global

warming can be halted or slowed significantly.

However It has the potential to unite all nations on earth
who must adapt and work in unison together or perish.
The goal should not be to stop this natural or unnatural

evolution of the universe but to adapt to the change. A

common enemy may put a stop to the killing if nations unite

against a single inhumane catastophe instead of seeking

destruction of each other through aggressive wars.

However "Global Warming" may only result in more
chaos as protectionism becomes the new rule of survival.
I am not optimistic about prayers to the Gods at your
local church, temple or place of meeting. A plea to the
"God's", your special God, or your comercial representative

with a direct line to God will probably not stop the

evolution of the natural or unnatural Universe. One

option might be global peace, unification will allow

energy and resources to be redirected. Using these

resources for Destructive wars based on political,

economic, or religious platforms seems to be the norm

now. Stopping this useless waste of energy and money

may be critical to the survival of all who inhabit the

earth.

Like the Dinosaurs man can perish from the face
of the earth.

THE EDSEL FACTOR

The most obvious can sometimes
be completely overlooked. There
are hard facts that support the
fact that Lithium will become
unavailable for the production
of Lithium Ion batteries for the
EV's and Hybrid's of the future or
the present

The folly of dependance on LIthium
ion batteries for a power storage
source or as a bridge technology
until a more enduring technology
is developed is not a secret.
Until Fuel cell Batteries are in
production or an alternate source
is developed the EV market may
collapse.

This adds fuel to the theory that a
giant auto maker may face another
crisis. This mega auto producer
may be marching towards it's
decline as a world market leader.

There are great reserves of the heavy
metal Lithium in sea water but the
enormous cost of extracting it is
off the charts. There is no evidence
that this reserve will ever be utilized.

There is even less evidence that
the existing Lithium mines in
South America can deliver the goods
in less than 20 years. The reserves are
there but the infrastructure is not.
There is a complete absence of an
infrastructure central to these mines
and the political climate is less than
friendly for foreign capital.
Follow this link wtahil@meridian-int-res-com.
to get some facts from Meridian International
Research from a well researched paper
on Lithium reserves. This fact filled article
is worth reading if you are planing to buy
an EV in the future. My advice would be to
wait about 20 years unless you have an
excess of expendable income.

THE PAPER BY MR.WILLAM TAHILL
AT MERIDIAN INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH
IS SEEMINGLY A FRANK REPORT ON
THE AVAILABILITY NOW AND
IN THE FUTURE FOR LITHIUM. BELIEVABLE
OR NOT IT IS A FACT FILLED REPORT THAT
EVERYONE SHOULD CONSIDER READING.

THE TROUBLE WITH LITHIUM
Implications of Future PHEV for Lithium Demand

FROM MERIDIAN INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH
BY William

wtahil@meridian-int-res-com.

The "Prius Edsel factor" part one

Prius is planing a switch from Nicad

battery to the highly touted lithium ion

battery. This will likely give the Prius a

place in auto history as infamous as the

Ford Edsel. The ion battery will disappear

from the market in less than 15 years.

Lithium mines are already having trouble

keeping up with the cell phone and laptop

computer demand. There will be zero

reserves of lithium within 12 to 15 years.

Hybrids will need to find an option to the

lithium ion battery.

Switching to the Ion battery will put the

Prius in a class of its own. The process

of adapting your Prius to an battery

powered ion plug in will cost you around

$12000.00 minus a tax break of an estimated

$4000.00 Not an economical option.

The battery problem might just price the

Prius out of the market for working stiffs

who make less than $200,000.00 a year.

Most of the over 10,000. prius owners will

need to replace their nicad batteries in

about 8 years. Presently he cost is around

$3000.00. The projected cost in 8 years

will likely exceed $6000.00 but supply will

be nill. They will need to find another

option to keep their Toyota humming along

at lightning speeds.

The Chinese are eating nickel

as if it were rice. Nickel is used to

produce stainless steel and China leads

in export and domestic production of

stainless steel. The cost of nickel is

expected to make a 500% cost leap in

less than 5 years. Reserves of nickel in

the world market are dangerously low.

Nicad batteries are already priced out

of the market. That eliminates the nicad

and switching to Ion batteries will result

in a bigger hit to Toyota than any of the

damaging recalls presently undermining

faith in the reliability of all Toyotas. The

option for a change to Ion batteries for

Hybirds to ion plug ins is like selling snake

oil to cure diabetics. Cost factors will not

be a problem but supply will. The raw

material, lithium, will not be available

since there are no producing

mines. Estimates are that it would take

at least ten years to develop the

infrastructure to allow production in

the two existing mines in South America.

Presently the worlds production ,which

is dwindling to nothing, is used to make

the wonderful exploding ion batteries

used in notebooks and cell phones.

You might recall the press bites on

flaming notebooks, Ion batteries are

prone to overheating a fault that is far

worse than "sudden acceleration".

Look for press bites in the future on

flaming or exploding Priuses. There

will be an acute shortage of Ion batteries

and the cost will be porhibitive for most

Prius owners other than Steve Jobs or

Bill Gates who both drive a Prius on

ocassion.

Again Toyota moves toward another

drop in sales when the Public realizes

that the Prius will be virtually obsolete

in less than ten years. Sooner if you were

a"pioneer" and need to change your

batteries sooner.

The annual sales volume of the Prius is

now exceeding 100,000 units. Which

proves that the gullible world market will

buy snake oil if you beat a drum hard

enough and package your product

attractively. Again "the Edsel Factor".

Consumers are simply uniformed by the

lack of truth and blinded by media hype.

Are there other options for this disaster

that are practical? The simple answer is

no. The only future option that might be

practical are fuel cells but development

of this clean technology will take at least

another 10 years. Production will probably

take another 5 years to commence. This

will allow time for the public to become

thourougly disillusioned with electric

power by any means. The Japanese

auto industry may be facing the same fate

experienced by the auto industry in the United

States, Death from arrogance, greed and

poor management. Even giants like Godzilla

can be reduced to ashes when they step into

a volcanic crater. Possibly there might be a

miraculous recovery of the auto industry in

the U.S. Henry Ford would be proud.

Look for part two in this blog "The Lithum

dictum".

VIOLENCE AND POLITICS

THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS IS A

LONG STANDING HISTORICAL FACT

IN AMERICA BUT PRACTICED NOW

IN A FOG OF DISTRUST AND HATE.

BOTH PARTIES CAN ONLY SEE ABOUT

20 FEET AHEAD ALLOWING THEM TO

AVOID AN UNINTENTIONAL SUICIDAL

HEAD ON COLLISION.

PERHAPS THE REORIENTATION

OF POLITICS AND TECHNOLOGY WILL

SOON MAKE DEMOCRACY A DEAD

ELEPHANT AND DONKEY BURIED AND

IN TIME AND FOSSILIZED LIKE

DINOSAURS.

DEMOCRACY WILL BECOME A MUSEUM

RELIC. THE POLITICAL PROCESS IN

AMERICA WILL REMAIN SHROUDED IN

MYSTERY LIKE MANY OF THE EARTHS

CREATURES, AMERICAS DEMOCRACY

WILL BE DIFFICULT TO DECIPHER

AFTER THE FACT,THE CATACOMBS

OF SECRECY AND DECEIT WILL MAKE

THIS A CHORE.

WE CAN SAY THIS ABOUT THE FIRST

100 DAYS OF OBAMA'S PRESIDENCY,

HE HAS BEEN STONE WALLED BY THE

REPUBLICAN PARTY WHO ARE HELL

BENT ON COMPLETELY HALTING THE

POLITICAL PROCESS AND THE

SUBSEQUENT RUNNING OF A POWERFUL

NATION AT ANY COST.

THIS REFLECTS AN ATMOSPHERE

OF VIOLENCE. THIS STONEWALLING

OF THE UNITED STATES POLITICAL

PROCESS IS A FORM OF PASSIVE VIOLENCE.

NO BETTER TERM COULD BE COINED THAN

IT'S "LIKE SHOOTING YOURSELF IN THE

FOOT". VIOLENCE HAS INFECTED THE

NATION.VIOLENCE IS NOW USED AS A

COMMON VEHICLE FOR EXPRESSING

FRUSTRATION, IT HAS BECOME A FORM

OF JUSTICE FOR AN ALARMING NUMBER

OF PEOPLE. VIOLENCE HAS BECOME A

IMPORTANT, AND POPULAR FORM OF

EDUCATION FOR YOUNG AMERICAN

MALES. QUICKLY IT IS BEGINNING TO

HAVE EQUAL FOOTING AS A

DESIRABLE FORM OF EDUCATION FOR

YOUNG AMERICAN FEMALES. WE ARE

A NATION OF WARRIORS WHO HAVE

BECOME EXPERTS IN THE MOST EFFICIENT

FORMS OF KILLING AND VIOLENCE.

WE HAVE BEEN AT WAR AS LONG AS

I CAN REMEMBER, MY MEMORY FAILS

ME WHEN I TRY RECALL ANY LENGTHY

PERIODS OF PEACE. THE ENORMOUS

BUDGET FOR THE SCHOOLS OF WAR

DWARFS THE BUDGET ALLOTTED TO

"PEACEFUL FORMS OF EDUCATION". IT

IS NO WONDER THAT VIOLENCE HAS

BECOME AN INHERENT PART OF THE

NATIONS PSYCHE.

IN THE PAST DEMOCRATS REPEATEDLY

USED THE POLITICS OF HATE AGAINST

BUSH AND OTHERS. THEY CONTINUE

THIS PRACTICE TO A LESSER EXTENT

BUT THE REPUBLICANS HAVE BEGAN

TO PRACTICE WHAT IS AN EXTREME

FORM OF THIS FORM OF HATE THAT

WILL EVENTUALLY DESTROY THE POLITICAL

PROCESS IN AMERICA. THERE IS AFTER

ALL ONLY ONE PRESIDENT, THE

PRACTICE OF UNILATERALLY,

OFFENSIVELY, STONEWALLING THE

PRESIDENT IS SELF DEFACING AND

DESTRUCTIVE. IT IS THE MOST

UNDIGNIFIED FORM OF POLITICAL

ACTION. WHEN HAS THE PRACTICE OF

DOING NOTHING BECOME A PLATFORM

OF PROGRESS FOR THE NATION.
