 The Secret Government7 comments

“The National Security Act of ‘47 gave us the National Security Council. Never have we had a National Security Council so concerned about the nation’s security that we’re always looking for threats and looking how to orchestrate our society to oppose those threats. National Security was invented, almost, in 1947, and now it has become the prime mover of everything we do as measured against something we invented in 1947."
-- U.S. Navy Admiral Gene La Rocque in PBS Documentary "The Secret Government" (view free [link] )  More >

 Nigeria's Oil War1 comment
2 Jun 2005 @ 10:06, by nemue. Developing World
The war in both Afghanistan and Iraq has drawn the attention of the world to the conspiracy that surrounds the control and take over of the world’s oil resources. Take over by oil conglomerates aided by government administrations such as the Bush administration. The thrust of the powerful to increase their wealth as the expense of the poor!!!

It was therefore with some fascination that I watched a story on Foreign Correspondent ABC Australia this week covering the little publicised Oil War in Nigeria. There were three aspects to this story that were of note. First and foremost we have a despotic local government in cohorts with the US Government and US and European owned companies exploiting the resources of 3rd world countries. Secondly is the impact left on the landscape as a result of the rape of the environment? The pollution of the waterways is breath taking, to say the least. Pipes regularly explode setting off fires. They showed tracks of forest razed to the ground. The land will never recover when this happens. This has a significant impact on
agriculture and therefore the ability of people to feed themselves.

The practices of companies such as Shell, Exxon to name but two would never be tolerated in developed countries. The most damming of all is what is happening to the people. The story showed dozers demolishing the only shelter (shanties at that) that thousands of locals had. They left children, women and men with nothing and why? For more oil wells!!
The people of Nigeria get nothing – foreign companies and government officials both local and as mentioned US take the lot. This is world we live in.

The saving grace is the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force. See link for story. I think when you read this story you will see why the American Govt. is so interested in gaining control.

I watch with interest at the developments.

 Cryogenic Automobile Engines11 comments

It's true, if you freeze sparkplugs with nitrogen vapor, you will get a faster cleaner spark as well as gain up to 25% more fuel economy and make the sparkplug last longer. They have also been doing this to disc brake rotors and brake pads, because they will last 4 times longer. Now they have moved on to enine components, increasing the longevity of the engine and like magic, almost tripling your gas milage. Now check this out. I have hands on expiriance with propane conversions, running a engine on propane, after its broke in on gasoline of course, will extend engine life basicly putting your engine into suspended animation, Ive seen engines last 10 times longer running on propane. Now mix this with the cryogenicly tempered engine and sparkplugs, and a multiple spark capasative discarge ingnition system(MSD unit to burn all the fuel in the cylinders compleetly). Not only would your engine last, it could be run in a much leaner enviorment, useing far less fuel. Right now if you were to run an engine in such a lean condition they tend to have preignition problems as well as running hot, burning holes in the pistons or burning the valves or both, you know that pinging sound you might get going up hills and hard accelerations, thats preignition and is extreemly bad for an engine. One of the experiments on the last shuttle mission, was to see just how lean you can get a fuel to burn, the flame ball experiment, the best they got was a 30 min burn time on just a small drop of ignighted fuel. So its posable to burn fuel very efficiantly in the right conditions. There are places around to get the frozen sparkplugs right now, ask someone, and spend the few extra dollars on them, and as the tech becomes more available, use it, save fuel and cut pollutants. It really starts with the individual, takeing the inititive to use less resources. It's all up to you and me as to how this tech gets used. Search it out in all its's forms and use it.

 Burma - Forgotten Land2 comments
picture 29 May 2005 @ 02:45, by nemue. Developing World
Burma the little country which the world at large has conveniently forgotten. More importantly the self professed saviours of the modern world, the champions of the peace process and architects of liberation (said with tongue in cheek) from them nary a word is spoken.

It is 15 years since the people of Burma elected the National league for Democracy with a whopping margin of 80% and in doing so appointed their leader Aung San Suu Kyi to lead their nation. As is the wont in Burma it was only a matter of days before the generals overturned the result in one of most sadistic and genocidal acts of terror in our history. Aung San Suu Kyi has been under house arrest ever since. This is 15-years held a prisoner and her crime she won a democratic election!

Human rights abuse in Burma is breathtaking. Children used as slave labour, people used as human landmine detonators. The peoples of Chin, Kachin, Karenni, Mon, Karen, Arakan and Shan exterminated, women and children raped and why – because they have the temerity to want to retain their culture, nothing more, nothing less. These are peoples who live in the deep jungles but of course the jungles are rich in teak and it would be no surprise to discover that the generals who wreck such havoc on the lives of the peasant tribes have made them multi-millionaires. Sounds familiar doesn’t it. Just another country and another corrupt regime.

When did you see this story on the front pages of the newspapers or on the TV? Well you don’t. American doesn’t care, we down here don’t care, the UK doesn’t care in fact no one cares. Burma used to be part of the British Commonwealth but as Frederick pointed out London is silent. The point of the story is this. If Iraq didn’t have weapons of mass destruction (as we are now told) and the free world only invaded Iraq because Saddam was a despot (but sorry we couldn’t tell you this before we went it) and the free world was liberating the people why are we not invading Burma to set their people free? After all the democratically elected leader of Burma was overthrown and is now held prisoner and she has been for 15-years. I would have thought our self-professed saviours of the modern world; the champions of the peace process and architects of liberation would be in there is a flash.  More >
