Ah yes - it is the "left" who are to blame.

Tell that to the generations of people who lived near Chernobyl.

Tell that to the millions of Europeans that live with cheap nuclear energy, they are laughing at us for Americans for living as they did in the eighteen hundreds still burning coal.

Now that’s progress.

Chernobyl was built by Communist, as was the Hugo----remember that car? Communist shouldn’t be allowed to play with matches, let alone nuclear power plants.

I believe it is the Yugo you are referring to sleeper.



And perhaps if you got your corporate buddies to focus on what would be best for the country as a whole, rather than their own individual pocket books and retirement plans, we could move forward with an alternative energy policy that made sense.

There are a number of technologies available -

The Invisible Enemy

There are four gigantic forces that have worked together to create this situation. To say that there is and has been a "conspiracy" to suppress this technology only leads to a superficial understanding of the world, and it places the blame for this completely outside of ourselves. Our willingness to remain ignorant and actionless in the face of this situation has always been interpreted by two of these forces as "implied consent." So, besides a "non-demanding public," what are the other three forces that are impeding the availability of free energy technology?

In standard economic theory, there are three classes of Industry. These are Capital, Goods, and Services. Within the first class, Capital, there are also three sub-classes. These are: 1) Natural Capital. This relates to raw materials (such as a gold mine) and sources of energy (such as a hydroelectric dam or an oil well). 2) Currency. This relates to the printing of paper "money" and the minting of coins. These functions are usually the job of Government. And 3) Credit. This relates to the loaning of money for interest and its extension of economic value through deposit loan accounts. From this, it is easy to see, that energy functions in the economy in the same way as gold, the printing of money by the Government, or the issuing of credit by a bank.

In the United States, and in most other countries around the world, there is a "money monopoly" in place. I am "free" to earn as much "money" as I want, but I will only be paid in Federal Reserve Notes. There is nothing I can do to be paid in Gold Certificates, or some other form of "money." This money monopoly is solely in the hands of a small number of private stock banks, and these banks are owned by the Wealthiest Families in the world. Their plan is to eventually control 100% of all of the Capital resources of the world, and thereby control everyone's life through the availability (or non-availability) of all goods and services. An independent source of wealth (free energy device) in the hands of each and every person in the world, ruins their plans for world domination, permanently. Why this is true is easy to see. Currently, a nation's economy can be either slowed down or sped up by the raising or lowering of interest rates. But if an independent source of capital (energy) were present in the economy, and any business or person could raise more capital without borrowing it from a bank, this centralized throttling action on interest rates would simply not have the same effect. Free energy technology changes the value of money. The Wealthiest Families and the Issuers of Credit do not want any competition. It's that simple. They want to maintain their current monopoly control of the money supply. For them, free energy technology is not just something to suppress, it must be PERMANENTLY FORBIDDEN!

We pay big bucks to CEOs because some of them are good at making companies profitable.

We don’t pay big bucks to CEOs because they are good looking; they have to earn what they are paid.

Take away the good CEOs and all pension funds will evaporate, and so will America.

Over the last 5 years, the CEOs of AT&T, BellSouth, Hewlett-Packard,Home Depot, Lucent, Merck, Pfizer, Safeway, Time Warner,Verizon and Wal-Mart were paid an aggregate $385 million in compensation- while shareholders lost a total of $640 billion.

-from Lou Dobbs' "War on the Middle Class"

In his book, Lou lists several more examples, too. A very good book, worth the read.

So where do the good ones work? How do they justify those huge salaries while their companies are going down the toilet?

Lou Dobbs is a propagandist not an economist and he has a potty mouth.

All those companies are solvent and making billions of dollars otherwise their employees wouldn’t be taking home pay checks.

And those who own those stocks are also making money---has the leftwing propaganda blinded people that much?

All companies show loses as well as gains has nothing to do with anything it’s the nature of business.

Those who don’t understand capitalism are easily fooled by the likes of Lou Dobbs.

Here is a tip go buy stock in anyone one of those companies but don’t panic and sell when the stock falls a few points---those that lose are those that sell when the stock fluctuates and they get scared.

Thousands of pension funds hold stock in all those companies but few of them sell every time the company hits a speed bump.
