The Biofuel Lie

We are reading a lot about biofuels these days and there are opinions on both sides on whether or not the rush to produce biofuel crops is destructive.

While everyone agrees that we need to wean ourselves away from our dependency on petroleum-based oil products, finding the right "product" or path to accomplishing this is causing concern.

What do you really know about biofuels?

Biofuel, involves a process in which plants, sometimes genetically-altered plants, such as sugar, grain and cellulose, are converted into products that can be used in place of gasoline-based products. Sounds innocent and easy enough, eh? Learn more...

The International Energy Agency published Biofuels for Transport: An International Perspective in 2004. This approx. 200-page book provides a good background into what biofuels are and how they can be used but it does not provide the whole story of biofuel and their destructive natures.

For those who don't read the book and want to know what goes into making a biofuel let's just look at biodiesel...

Sunflower Field

To make biodiesel, vegetable oil (derived from plants and flowers), used frying oil, or animal fats are mixed with alcohol and a catalyst (sodium or potassium hydroxide), broken down and purified and finally produced. This product can then be used as fuel for your automobile instead of traditional gasoline. I believe some modification is required to your vehicle to use the product but you are expected to know that already...

Why isn't biofuels a great and wonderful thing? And what's the big lie? Read on...

Well, the problem arises in what you don't hear or read about in the effort to make biofuels a reality. While most publications review all the advantages and costs, pro and con, for moving forward with biofuels from an economic viewpoint they don't consider the issue from a social or human viewpoint. In other words, the information doesn't take into account what massive biofuel farming does to the local farmer or to the planet.

Monsanto: Conversations About Plant Biotechnology

So let's look at what the EU has been saying about it...

Oxfam International, a consortium of organizations, is one of several groups that has been voicing concern about the explosion and exploitation of biofuels at the local level. Oxfams' most recent press release of November 1st titled Biofuelling Poverty - EU Plans Could be Disastrous for Poor People discusses the need to look at the affects of biofuel farming in more detail as its results are hazardous to both people and the environment.

Oxfam points out that small landowners are being run-over or run-out by large landowners in the rush to produce biofuel crops. Many small landowners are starving and are no longer able to care for themselves or their families.

The Transnational Institute, an international network of activist-scholars, also have been assessing the biofuel situation and have posted many articles criticizing the global push for biofuel production. Oscar Reyes published Agro-fooling Ourselves in October 2007 and the article summary read:

EU and US targets and subsidies are fuelling a growing demand for ‘agrofuels’. Far from being a sustainable energy source, the increased cultivation of crops for fuel threatens the world’s poor with starvation, damages biodiversity and even contributes to global warming.

If you are reading the materials and articles provided you are, hopefully, hearing the message. Not only are biofuels destructive to the environment but they are destroying people's lives.

Maybe you don't care because these people live in Third World countries and, in the reality of things, that is what our government wants from you. That is, if you are a good New World Order citizen...

Anyway let's look at something closer to home turf - Wal-Mart. Personally, I despise Wal-Mart and will not shop there... If we could stop people from shopping at Wal-Mart we will have accomplished a wonderful thing! Talk about a corporation that exploits people and countries...but don't get me started.

Alliance to Save Energy: Walmart

The Clinton Climate Initiative, headed up by Former President Bill Clinton, announced this week that it has teamed up with Wal-Mart (are you surprised!?) to initiate and provide clean energy products. Note that Mr. Al Gore is in the thick of all this, as well, Nobel Peace Prize and all.

As most know, Hillary Clinton served on the board of directors for Wal-Mart for six years so there are close Clinton ties with the local store killer giant. This woman scares me and anyone who backs her, wants her for President or trusts her is out of their mind.

Money Magazine Fortune 500 Corporations #17

Another big giant to watch is Home Depot who has teamed up with Conoco on eco-friendly initiatives.

Home Depot and Wal-Mart are members of the Alliance to Save Energy team. Looks like the Alliance to Save Energy team is made up of strong First World players...

All these companies do, the Wal-Mart's, the Home Depot's, and the alliance associates of Alliance to Save Energy, is exploit the little guy - the Third World country people. And biofuels are another, big, very big, exploitation.

In summary, biofuel education is not happening. You are not hearing about how biofuels are destroying lives and destroying our planet. That's the lie. The media manipulators don't want you to hear about that!

And like other events in this country and in this world, information is being suppressed and only the propaganda that the government wants you to hear and know is being circulated. It's called the dumbing down of society.

Biofuels is not the answer to the ill. It is a band-aid and anyone who works in a business environment knows what a band-aid effect is like.

Stop the lies! Don't be a victim of the New World Order propaganda machine. You can fight the "dumbing down" by educating yourself and speaking out. Learn about biofuels and what it really does to people and our environment. Talk to others and educate them. It's never too late...

America: Fascist, Totalitarian Maybe, Definitely Not Democratic

I laughed the first time I heard my teenage son tell me that America was really a fascist country. I truly believed that I lived in the land of democracy and that fascism belonged in the history books and only happened in countries like Italy and Germany, not in America. That was before I woke up to 9/11 and began my journey of learning.

...And I found that learning about the deceit and cover-up of 9/11 was only the "tip of the iceberg." It has involved hours of research (it is all out there - just search the web using available search engines such as Google or Ask) to find out about what was really going on around me in this country that I was born and raised in.

Since then it has been a roller coaster ride where I've felt my stomach drop to the floor and my head nearly hit the ceiling... It has also been depressing because I did not realize how utterly corrupt our government really is - all the way around - in every nook and cranny. It was bad, getting worse and G.W. Bush and his crime bunch have made it sickening...

With George W. Bush as President we now have welcomed in The New World Order (NWO), the North American Union (NAU), Project for the New American Century (PNAC), Homeland Security (DHS), privitized military forces (Blackwater), the Patriot Act, loss of our Constitutional, Bill of Rights and Geneva rights, increasing and encouraged police brutality, endless red tape, no accountability by the President or his staff, terrorism perpetuated by the White House and not by outside forces, war crimes committed by USG personnel though they can never be prosecuted for them, murder of innocent U.S. citizens, murder of innocent world citizens, unnecessary deaths in our U.S. Armed Forces, a seemingly endless war on a nameless and unknown enemy, probable irreparable destabilization of our economy, decimation of our Social Security system, and the list can go on but my stomach just hit the floor again...

...And after researching and finding out that my son was, indeed, pretty "right on" and realizing, again, that the youth of America looks to be smarter than I am, I then discover that I have been paying the IRS with my hard earned cash when I did not have to. That was like the loop in the roller coaster ride and my stomach and my head went in two different directions. Will the deceit from our once-precious USG never stop? My head is beginning to hurt...

I was amazed to find out that there is no law, keyword law, that tells me I have to pay the IRS a penny. These are things you take for granted and, I suspect, that that is what the USG expects - that we will just take it for granted that there is one. Boy, have we all been played the fools! The USG said it was so and we bowed down and paid homage - without verification - just blind devotion. No wonder justice wears a blindfold! Justice is blind - to the rights of the people!

So it looks like we have illegal seizures by the IRS and all this property should be returned to its owners. That's the picture I'm getting here. And when I heard the story of Joe Lewis, famous boxer, I wanted to puke. Of course you never hear that stuff until after they are dead and gone...

Well, here is a GREAT video that not only talks about the newest acronyms to our language - NWO, PNAC, NAU - but it also provides a pretty thorough investigation and look-see into the IRS and the lack of the law.

This video, America: Freedom to Fascism, was hosted, produced and directed by Aaron Russo, who sadly passed away from cancer in August 2007. Aaron Russo is best known for producing The Rose, with Bette Midler, and Trading Places, with Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd. Aaron Russo is Mad as Hell



This full length video was available on Google but it is no longer there (?) so the link I was going to post is no longer valid. There is a 26-minute version available but you really need to see the full length one and hear it all. Please take the time to watch this one...

We the People.org (members of this org were interviewed by Aaron; they have now been court-ordered to stop promulgating that you do not have to pay taxes; court order is posted on their website)
Internal Revenue Laws were Repealed in 1939

The object of reasoning is to find out, from the consideration of what we already know, something else which we do not know. -Charles S. Pierce

New York Columnist, Frank Rich, "Predicts" Bush Administration Move for 9/11/07 in June 07

Frank Rich, a columnist for the NY Times, has joined the ranks of the crystal-ballers and he might not even know it. The Bush administration's tactics have become so predictable that Mr. Rich knew that a new propaganda campaign to stay the war in Iraq was inevitable come Sept. 2007 and that something would occur that would help that cause. (click the headline for the story)

Lo and behold, breaking news and right before 9/11/07! A "new" Bin Laden video! There's still terror on the horizon - oh my! Mr. Bin Laden is now healthy and fashionable or imposing (depending on your viewpoint as his beard is colored black/brown/red to declare "war" on the infidels), still preaching terror and mayhem, encouraging us to convert to Islam to save our souls, but this time, with a twist, he is providing us with book reviews on books written by Noam Chomsky and Michael Scheuer. Come on...This just sounds too way out there but I'm sure the sheep will bite this one yet again. baa-baa

Wake up!!

The "New" Osama Bin Laden Video: More USG Propaganda...

Well now there's this "new" video that Osama Bin Laden reportedly has released that raises questions... It's been nearly 3 years since he has surfaced (darn for the USG, eh?) and here it is again the anniversary (that's your government prodding at an open wound) and a video comes up claiming this and that.

Well I, personally, think it's junk and bunk. More USG propaganda. Remind yourself of the definition of the New World Order so you can remember the environment you live in now... And remember that you are under the control of the Bush family now.

But let's talk some points about this "new" video...

First, there is discussion about his beard. In this video his beard is dyed - I've read orange in some articles - which is strictly prohibited in Muslim beliefs. Now Osama is/was a devout Muslim so why would he dye his beard if it is direct contradiction to his beliefs?? Think people, use your brain.

Second, in the video, Osama supposedly "recommends" some good books that we should read. LOL Give me an f*(%^ing break! Come on! Now Mr. Bin Laden is doing book reviews from his cave or while he's on the run from the "bad" guys?? I think this one's really funny! :)

Thirdly, why can't I, or others, ever find a website for these videos or for Al Quaeda for that matter?? In reality, how can Al Quaeda have a website when they are, supposedly, just a bunch of cave- or desert-dwelling, illiterate nomads? I'm supposed to believe that they've got some elaborate computer set-up in a cave somewhere under the desert and they are all really Ivy League grads?? Remember Al Quaeda, is in reality, a CIA funded and trained operation...

WAKE UP AMERICA! Get out of the fog!
