| Airplane Contrails Boost Global Warming, Study Suggests Brian Handwerk for National Geographic News June 14, 2006 Moving flight times from night to day could reduce air travel's contributions to global warming, a new study suggests. Scheduling more daytime flights may lessen the impact of contrails—the visible streaks of condensation that many planes leave in their wake. The role of contrails in climate change is still under study, but some scientists believe that they contribute to the greenhouse effect by trapping heat in Earth's atmosphere. Nicola Stuber, first author of the study, to be published in tomorrow's edition of the journal Nature, suggests that contrails' overall impact on climate change is similar in scope to that of aircrafts' carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions over a hundred-year period. Aircraft are believed to be responsible for 2 to 3 percent of human CO2 emissions. Like other high, thin clouds, contrails reflect sunlight back into space and cool the planet. However, they also trap energy in Earth's atmosphere and boost the warming effect, the study says. (See National Geographic magazine's "Global Warning: Signs From Earth.") Stuber and other scientists believe that the effect of the contrails is significant. "On average the greenhouse warming effect dominates [the effects of contrails]," said Stuber, a meteorologist at England's University of Reading. Global Warming and Contrails This warming effect is far greater for contrails left by night flights, Stuber added. "The solar cooling effect [wherein contrails reflect the sun's rays back into space] only happens during the day, when the sun is up," she explained. During the night the greenhouse warming is no longer balanced, and that is why the contribution of nighttime flights is so large." Most commercial airline traffic occurs during daylight hours. For example, only one in four United Kingdom flights is a night flight, but those flights create some 60 percent of the warming attributed to contrails, the study reports. Contrails are artificial clouds that form around the tiny aerosol particles in airplane exhaust. They appear only in moist, very cold (less than 40ºF/4ºC) air—usually at altitudes of 5 miles (8 kilometers) or higher. Some contrails can last for a day or longer, though they gradually disperse and begin to resemble natural clouds. Contrails Mystery Scientists disagree about the extent of contrails' climate impact. "The jury is out on the impact of contrails," said Patrick Minnis, an atmospheric scientist at NASA's Langley Research Center in Langley, Virginia. David Travis, a climatologist at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, notes that some recent studies suggest that contrails have little impact on global climate change but have a greater regional warming impact. "I prefer to think of contrails as a regional-scale climate problem, as they are most common in certain regions of the world, such as western Europe, eastern and central U.S., and parts of eastern Asia," he said. "This is due to a combination of dense air traffic in these areas and favorable atmospheric conditions to support contrail persistence once they form." Because of their locations and short life spans, contrails are a difficult study subject. "The greatest impediment to understanding the contrail impacts on weather and climate is the poor state of knowledge of humidity in the upper troposphere [3.8 to 9.3 miles/6 to 15 kilometers in altitude]," NASA's Minnis said. "Until we can measure it properly and extensively, and model it and its interaction with cirrus clouds and contrails, we will continue to have large uncertainties about the effect of contrails." Winter is Contrail Season At the high altitudes favored by commercial airlines, the air is much more humid in winter, so contrails are twice as likely in that season, study co- author Stuber said. "We also found that flights between December and February contribute half of the annual mean climate warming, even though they account for less than a quarter of annual air traffic," she said of her U.K.-based research. Study leader Piers Forster, of England's University of Leeds, suggests that contrails' current impact on the atmosphere is likely to increase as air traffic grows. "Aircraft currently only have a small effect on climate," he said. "However, the fact that the volume of air traffic is set to rapidly grow in coming years makes it important to investigate the effects of contrails on our climate." Shifting airline schedules will surely prove far easier in theory than in reality. "The problem is that this is not something that can be done easily," said the University of Wisconsin's Travis. "With fuel prices on the rise and airlines going bankrupt, it is a difficult time to try and convince airlines to consider issues such as this one." |

| Trivia: Did you know The Pentagon, a building, institution, and symbol, was conceived at the request of Brigadier General Brehon B. Sommervell, Chief of the Construction Division of the Office of the Quartermaster General, on a weekend in mid-July 1941. The purpose was to provide a temporary solution to the War Department's critical shortage of space. The ground breaking ceremony took place on September 11, 1941. The building was dedicated on January 15, 1943, nearly 16 months to the day after the ground breaking. |

| Legalize marijuana In New York, we spend about $1 billion on marijuana enforcement, not including long-term jailing. With a $13 billion budget gap, why not save ourselves the money and shift to a legalization, regulation and taxation policies similar to that of alcohol? There are also the documented health benefits afforded to suffering AIDS and cancer patients forced to go into a dangerous underground market to get what many feel is their medicine. Luckily, New York is at least taking the medicinal uses seriously, as shown by bills in the Assembly (A0576) and Senate (S. 4041-A). Contact your state legislators. Tell them we cannot afford current marijuana laws, and urge them to support their respective bills. As a person acquainted with two people suffering from cancer, I believe it's a shame they cannot legally obtain a drug that has been shown to improve the quality of life while they go through their treatments.

| About the Gorilla in the Livingroom Should the World Bring Bush and Cheney to Trial? Vincent Bugliosi has expressed recent exasperation over the issue of torture being mentioned currently with greater frequency over what the former L.A. County prosecutor believes to be the key issue over which George W. Bush and Dick Cheney should face trial -- murder. Bugliosi's concern, through which he urges action from an American prosecutorial body to bring Bush and Cheney to trial, could be directly addressed through the international tribunal of the International Court of Justice at The Hague. A reputable source of keeping up to date about the number of Iraqi civilians killed since the initial "shock and awe"- attacks on Baghdad ordered by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld prior to occupying that city and the nation of Iraq is Just Foreign Policy. This informative site provides international detailed analysis of significant events throughout the world. Just Foreign Policy publishes numbers based on the highly respected international medical journal The Lancet. According to The Lancet's detailed continuing study, supportive evidence of which is supplied by Just Foreign Policy, the current death figure is much higher than that reported by America's mainstream media on those rare occasions when any such information is presented. A current check of Just Foreign Policy reveals the Iraqi civilian death toll following the U.S. invasion to be 1,320,110. The continuing study of The Lancet reveals that 600,000 Iraqi civilians had been killed by July 2006 with the remainder of more than double occurring in the less than three years since then. A major area of misunderstanding arising even among progressives opposing the war has been the labeling within the mainstream media and elsewhere of the conflict as "pre-emptive war."- Under the rules that governed the Nuremberg Trials, the UN Charter, and other recognized international bodies, pre-emptive war is international legal terminology for legitimate self-defense and is permissible. The rule governing pre-emptive war is akin to the famous First Amendment principle enunciated in the Supreme Court by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of "clear and present danger."- Under the pre-emptive war concept a nation faces reasonable imminent threat from a foreign invader and under those circumstances possesses a right to attack based on a principle of self-defense. Bush-Cheney propagandists have been successful in being able to make the term pre-emptive war stick when in reality the issue is that of preventive war, which is clearly illegal under international law. The brilliant two hour opening presentation by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson at the main Nuremberg Trial involving the leading figures of Nazi Germany was centered on connecting German Fuhrer Adolf Hitler with specific plans to attack Poland and England. Jackson sought to link Hitler and his regime with European aggression through preventive war, that which is indefensible under international law. Recently there has been talk from certain UN sources that if after that body's own investigation concludes that U.S. leadership engaged in such aggressive preventive war along with unjustifiable torture tactics and the hunting down of victims without recourse to the law, then arrests could be made on U.S. soil. On this rationale such arrests could be made without the U.S. government being involved in any way, obviating any necessity of action on the part of congressional bodies or U.S. courts. Should George W. Bush be so approached in a specific effort to arrest him under international law, it has been noted that he is accompanied by armed U.S. Secret Service agents to protect him. To use a term from a sport President Barack Obama loves to play and watch, basketball, "The ball would be in his court"- and the crucial and ultimately decisive question of whether he would be willing under those circumstances to order Bush's Secret Service detail to "stand down"- in the interest of international law.

| News Article; Italy got it right: CIA renditions are wrong The conviction of 23 Americans in the abduction of Muslim cleric Abu Omar may be largely symbolic, but it sends an important message to the Obama administration.' Extrajudicial detentions" and "extraordinary renditions" were nicely scrubbed terms for the Bush administration's policy of capturing suspects in one country and spiriting them away to another, where they were harshly interrogated and even tortured. Now an Italian court has called this CIA practice by its real name -- illegal. The conviction of 23 Americans and two Italians for kidnapping an Egyptian cleric off the streets of Milan in 2003 in one sense is largely symbolic: The defendants were tried in absentia, and the Italian government is not seeking their extradition; barring a successful appeal, the two governments may try to work out a clemency deal. Yet the decision matters. It repudiates President Obama's expressed desire to look away from the ugly past, and sends a strong message that the U.S. government cannot operate outside the law with impunity in the name of fighting terrorism. The CIA abducted Hassan Osama Nasr on Feb. 17, 2003. The Muslim cleric, suspected of recruiting insurgents for Iraq and Afghanistan, was flown to Egypt, where he allegedly was tortured with electric shocks, beatings and threats of rape. He was released in 2007. Obama has since ended CIA interrogations in secret prisons and shut overseas jails used by the CIA, but he has not stopped the practice of extraordinary rendition. The difference between his and his predecessor's policy is that the administration will now demand credible assurances that prisoners won't be tortured, and that prisoners will be "rendered to justice" rather than held indefinitely without trial. We don't like renditions and generally think even the most dangerous criminals are entitled to due process, including extradition hearings. A war against violent extremists cannot be won by immoral or illegal means; the U.S. can't outsource dirty work and claim to have clean hands. Some have questioned how this case differs from the capture of Nazi Germany's Adolf Eichmann by Israeli security forces in Buenos Aires in May 1960, an extrajudicial action that was widely praised at the time. One significant difference is that Argentina's military government was harboring a war criminal, whereas Italy had opened its own criminal investigation of Nasr when the CIA swooped in to kidnap him. Another is that Eichmann was put on trial, publicly. Nasr, to say the least, was not. Copyright © 2009, The Los Angeles Times |
| More About Money; Solution to Financial Woes -- End Debt-Based Dollars A conference in Chicago looked at ways to solve the current financial crisis constitutionally by taking over the Fed and ending debt-based dollars. By Mark Anderson CHICAGO, Illinois—The American Monetary Institute’s (AMI) annual conference here at Roosevelt University happened just as the federal government was wrapping up its nearly trillion- dollar plan to further indebt the American people by buying the worthless assets of certain Wall Street interests at public expense. This and other financial skullduggery have even the most politically casual Americans trembling, while wondering if this is finally “the perfect storm” that will capsize our “ship of state.” American Free Press covered the Sept. 27 session of AMI’s Sept. 25-28 event. Moderated by noted author and AMI President Stephen Zarlenga, the session had an academic flavor, but its bold exploration of the history of debt forgiveness, the nature of money, who ought to issue it and other topics—including observations on the so-called “bailout”—painted a picture that stands in stark contrast to the one presented to distraught Americans by the big government-big media alliance. Absent from media pronouncements are any facts or recommendations that might focus public attention on the root causes of what may turn out to be the nation’s worst-ever financial crisis— much less any real, lasting solutions. But AMI is among several sources covered by AFP that seek real understanding of the seemingly complex issue of money. Entire schools of thought, especially in the economic realm, are censored in this “free” nation, but, as AFP has learned covering the AMI event and several other programs, “the cure” is within every citizen’s grasp, just waiting to he heard and acted upon. The individuals and organizations that attended the AMI conference communicated a viewpoint that has some tricky variables and points of debate, but it centers on sound principles and ideas that could lead to a profound economic revival. Notably, this is not a Ron-Paul-style call for a return to “sound money” in the form of a gold standard; that view, whose backers support abolishing the Federal Reserve System, has many merits and is widely discussed. But here, we’re talking about a somewhat different vision in which the Fed is stripped of its unchallenged privilege of issuing the nation’s currency and setting interest rates without genuine public oversight (and without audits). Indeed, the private central bank that has commandeered the United States since 1913 would be nationalized and kept only for basic operations, due to its knowledge base. Whether to nationalize or abolish the Fed, of course, is a question that needs to be carefully considered. Imagine the U.S. Treasury issuing its own money, instead of what we have now, where the Treasury prints it at the Fed’s behest (for only pennies per note, regardless of the denomination) and hands it over to the banking fraternity so the bankers can loan it back to the U.S. government at interest (in the process, the Fed gets government bonds that pledge the labor of all Americans behind the debt). Cutting the Fed out of the creation and issuance of money, which is AMI’s favored scenario, means money would be spent into circulation interest- free as a sovereign function of government, according to the U.S. Constitution’s provision that Congress is responsible for the money function. Gold standard or not, reformers agree that printing interest-free money is the reform that central bankers dread. Focusing on aspects of the “social credit theory,” which is neither socialism nor monopoly capitalism, AMI speaker Nicolaus Tideman, an economics professor from Virginia Polytechnic Institute, noted: “I think we need to regard society as a money-issuing collective, in which we all have equal shares.” He added that, since this intriguing theory— explained in detail as a workable plan in a book obtained at the conference by AFP—calls for paying a regular equal “dividend” to all citizens simply by virtue of their citizenship, one option would be to have the government announce $10,000 loans to all citizens to be paid back in five years. The people receiving the money could retire numerous personal debts. Depositing the money in local banks would address community needs. But the kind of dividend called for in the groundbreaking book In This Age of Plenty: A New Conception of Economics—Social Credit, takes the form of regular payouts, not loans, to every member of the citizenry, all of whom are treated like members of an economic cooperative, wherein private enterprise and innovation are fully encouraged and everyone, even the unemployed, would receive non-debt, U.S. national money (not Federal Reserve debt notes) as members of a common enterprise blessed with the natural resources provided by God. Because working and contributing to the nation’s productivity would mean higher dividends for all, the incentive is to work, not to loaf. This is the worldview in this book, published by the Pilgrims of St. Michael (a.k.a The White Berets), based in Canada. The extreme usury that Jesus of Nazareth rightfully condemned when he drove out the moneychangers is strangling the people, as several AMI speakers noted. Commentator David I. Kelley and Mr. Zarlenga concurred that usury is not just high interest rates; it’s actually “taking unfair advantage of the financially weaker.” Kelley, referring to current events, condemned the gross misuse of the nation’s financial mechanisms and the havoc being wrought. He said usury is an “anti-social use of money” where “the borrower is a slave to the lender and the debtor to the creditor.” He said real capitalism means fashioning raw materials into goods sold for profit. But, he said, “We have replaced the primacy of labor over land and capital”—where labor is the most important element—with the idea that “money becomes a god in and of itself.” He lamented that America is “always placing labor behind capital,” and American businesses aren’t even allowed to operate without massive capital behind them. Kelley went on to note what was later expounded on by Dr. Michael Hudson—that for centuries debts at all levels were forgiven on a cyclical basis and the slate was wiped clean so society could rebuild, free of turmoil and strife. However, under the current monetary matrix, significant debt forgiveness is virtually unheard of in a world where nearly everyone is an economic serf. Hudson noted how the famed classical Greek leader, Solon, literally rescued his nation by abolishing personal slavery as debt security. Farmers who had been banished from their own land were returned to their farms as all debt contracts were cancelled and seized land was returned to rightful owners. Hudson added that, for centuries, those who financed transoceanic voyages and land caravans were only paid back if the ventures were successful, as long as fraud was absent. “If the shipper lost, he did not have to pay the creditor,” Hudson said. “Interest was paid as a portion of the surplus to the public sector if everything (in the venture) goes as it’s supposed to.” He added that, The Lost Tradition of Biblical Debt Cancellation is the name of a book whose self- explanatory title points to a practice that favored borrowers over lenders. The practice goes back to Babylonian times. Referring to the “barley debts” of Sumeria, he said: “In the Near East for thousands of years the first act of new rulers was to cancel consumer debts”—especially those owed by the poor. Fast forward to today. Hudson noted that, in the current “bailout,” we see “just exactly the opposite of ancient times,” in that the U.S. government advocates a plan to further indebt the average person to the monied class. This means only canceling or absorbing the debts of the rich, even though the Democrats claim to have the interests of poorer homeowners in mind, Hudson noted, adding that the current ruling class is ruthless. Hudson concluded that there are laws on the books in New York state which, applied nationally, would nullify debts when loans were made beyond the debtor’s ability to pay. Today, he said, America is “favoring the creditors instead of debtors,” overturning centuries of doing things the other way around. |

| Article; Cocaine, the 6th food group Confusing South American farmland and rain forest for cocaine plants, and then recklessly destroying them. Sounds like a project with the U.S. federal government’s name all over it. In fact, it is, in the form of taxpayer-funded airplanes that are dropping the taxpayer-funded pesticides. In 2000, President Clinton signed a bill funding Plan Colombia, a State Department initiative to reduce coca growth in the South American country, mostly by spraying the plants with pesticide. And in its 2008 federal budget bill, the Bush administration is seeking an identical amount of funding for it as last year. The plan could be called a great, huge, amazing success — yes, if its goals included increasing coca plant growth, increasing cocaine imports into the U.S., and lowering cocaine prices for the U.S. consumer. Problem one: No discrimination. In Putumayo, one of the most coca-dense areas in Colombia, 40% of the crops sprayed since 2000 have been rain forests (even indiscriminate destruction doesn’t come cheap: $4,975 tax dollars per acre) or crops that are the villagers’ main source of food. Oops. Problem two: Legal plants are a money-loser, making coca the most profitable plant around. There’s no infrastructure to get legal plants to market, leaving peasants with no other choice than coca. Drug cartels just have a better work ethic about moving products. Problem three: “Also funded by cocaine and considered terrorists by the State Department, paramilitary forces [allies with Colombia President Uribe and, by extension, the United States] have fast become some of the country’s largest drug traffickers. In other words, U.S. taxpayer money meant to fight the drug trade is funding allies who are, in part, fueling it.” That one speaks for itself. Problem four (my personal favorite): Funding coca production is an effective “screw you” gesture to America. Venezuelan President (dictator?) Hugo Chavez has pledged $1 million to build coca food- processing plants in Bolivia. The Peruvian government resists U.S. business pressure by producing coca cookies, energy bars, and other products. The only good news? Since 2000, the price of cocaine has dropped by 29 percent on U.S. streets while purity has risen from 60 percent to 70 percent. /www.northbynorthwestern.com/ |

| UC San Diego Psychiatrist Says Yes to Pot Though medical marijuana may be taken via an oral prescription called Marinol, a UC San Diego psychiatrist named Igor Grant is lighting a fire under the *ss of legislators. A researcher for the UC Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research in San Diego (yes, it does exist), Dr. Grant supports smoking marijuana, as opposed to just taking Marinol, for decreasing pain associated with nerve damage, to help abate nausea from chemotherapy and antiretroviral therapy, and to increase appetite for patients suffering from AIDS wasting syndrome. According to a statement Dr. Grant made to the Los Angeles Times, “Smoking is a very efficient way to deliver THC.” Stoners have known this for years, but three recent studies have all concluded that smoking weed can mollify pain suffered in association with neuropathic pain in a way similar to other analgesics. Another study showed that amongst 51 multiple sclerosis patients, intensity of spasms was decreased by 32% after smoking up, and pain was reduced by 50%. So why deal with marijuana if there are other comparable analgesic treatments? Grant believes that because patients do not always respond to certain analgesics, it is vital to permit different treatment options. A spokesman for the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, Tom Riley, disagrees fervently and said that those seeking the legalization of smoking medical marijuana “want to be exempted from the regular approval process.” Dr. Grant was awarded the top national award from the National Academy of Neuropsychology, the Lifetime Achievement Award, in 2007. Potheads hoping for the slippery slope effect think he’s pretty dope too. |

| Things the Government Dose Not Want to Talk About; The War on Pollution or Pollution from War Retired professor and prolific author Barry Sanders has spent a long time looking closely at the US Military where others hadn’t: he looked at the environmental effects and the sheer devastation that the military leaves in its wake. He compiled a frightening collection of numbers into his book The Green Zone. I contacted him through the book’s publisher, AK Press, and sent him a letter, asking about the findings, about how we activists are so used to looking at our corporate foes and overlook the military, and about what we as Earth First!ers could hope to do about it. Here is his response: I do not separate the corporate agenda from the military agenda in this country. I do not mean simply the old Eisenhower conflation, which he daintily called the military-industrial complex. He makes such an alliance sound like a kind of neat and tidy collusion. It is a straight up partnership now: each one needs the other. Almost all big corporations are in the war business, or at the very least, in the military business. Think of auto manufacturing and how many specialized small shops went out of business with the collapse of the auto industry. To raise a tank takes a small corporate village. Cut back on the Pentagon budget and you slice and dice the economy—that’s one grand reason, at least, no politician is willing to take on the military. There are other reasons, but that’s a big one. Having said that, I am reminded of a line by the Indian writer Arundhati Roy, in her book War Talk: she says “... the state acts in the name of its citizens. So, as a citizen, I am forced to acknowledge that I am somehow made complicit in the Gujarat pogrom.” It is not just large corporations that are complicit in this business of making war and polluting the world. I am complicit, too—we all are. Even though I do not wear a uniform, I am an essential part of the military: I pay my taxes, I am allowed to periodically protest some given war, and thus indirectly and against my will I support the war. For me, what I understood after working on this book is that the fate of the Earth rests in the hands of the military. That is one of the most frightening and appalling notions anyone can confront. The United States military engages in a War of Terroir: it is destroying everything. For me, this is an issue of enormous magnitude, which all of us must confront. How badly does the military pollute? I think as citizens we have no idea how bad the pollution actually is. At any rate, the carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide would translate into numbers and lose its edge, just the way the dead Iraqis and Afghanis and GIs come to us as glorified body counts. The task of computing takes us afield and keeps us distracted. I have come up with approximate numbers in The Green Zone, but who the hell really knows? I say no one. What if we knew the number? Would we be any closer to stopping the war machine? People want numbers. I understand that. But more importantly, we need action. Here’s an example of how much we do not know: this very morning (Monday, July 27, 2009) I opened the New York Times and read a piece (on page 15) about the military conscription of indigenous peoples—in this case Navajos—during the ‘50s to work in hundreds of military mines in the heart of the Navajo Nation digging up uranium for the military to use in its weapons. (The military used depleted uranium in Iraq in many of its warheads.) Over the years, as the New York Times points out, “Navajo miners extracted some 4 million tons of uranium ore from the ground, much of it used by the United States government to make weapons.” And now those same indigenous people, and their grown children, are falling sick from radiation poisoning. Their houses and drinking water and crops are all contaminated. I count this tragedy, thousands of miles removed from the Middle East, scores of years removed from any Pentagon action, as military pollution. The last part of The Green Zone takes up the topic of fallout through the military’s use of depleted uranium in certain of its warheads in the war in Iraq. How can I tally or categorize such extraordinary pollution that produces radioactive waste with a half life of 4.5 billion years and that results in disfigured fetuses and corrupts food supplies and kills animals and fish populations and on and on? Can we equate the horror of such lethality with the emission of greenhouse gases? Such a grotesquerie almost makes carbon and sulfite pollution seem tame. This kind of pollution does not of course stay in place but gets blown around the globe on wind currents. That’s why when I talk about military pollution I want to write the word with a capital P, because it is so much more lethal than any other kind of pollution we have encountered as environmentalists. While the military is the largest single consumer of oil in the world, that can be a misleading statement since America has a population of 330 million people, a great majority of whom drive cars. And who knows the actual count of factories in this country that continually pump carbons into the atmosphere. But, as I try to point out, the military not only pollutes, it contaminates, it transfigures, it eliminates. And this is why I say it makes no difference how green we get in our homes and offices because the military negates our every effort at cutting greenhouse emissions. Several military critics make the point that bureaucrats in the Pentagon may not even know the exact numbers for military consumption of oil and gas. While we do know that it is the single largest consumer of oil in the world, the Pentagon is just too huge and complex and cumbersome for any citizen to find a number that we can know with certainty. Couple that with the fact that the military hides a good deal of its statistics for fuel consumption, for purchases, for types and kinds of weapons. After months and months of digging into web sites and leaked documents, I do not know the precise figures for the military; I have not come across anyone who does know, or says he or she knows. I spent an enormous time trying to ferret out those numbers—almost everything significant about weapons and vehicles and fuel consumption the Pentagon keeps classified or hidden. In the book, I list those numbers that the military likes to boast about, like the Abrams Tank consuming five gallons of fuel to cover a single mile. During battle, over ideal terrain, the Abrams can gobble up 252 gallons of fuel each and every hour. With its afterburners kicked in, the F-15 uses fuel at the astonishing rate of four gallons per second, or 14,400 gallons an hour! What can we do as environmentalists? As an initial suggestion—and I do not want anyone to think I have the answers—for stopping the olive-drab juggernaut is an overwhelming prospect, but one thing I would like to suggest is that the movement must redefine itself, must expand its range of concerns to include putting an end to war. If you consider yourself green, you must become olive green and include an opposition to the military. The International Panel on Climate Change has an agenda that runs to some 20 pages, but it has never included one mention of the war. Whenever the Bioneers meet to discuss climate change, they never mention the military. As far as I am concerned, this is a gross omission. What to do? For one very apparent thing, an environmental movement that does not include an opposition to all war—not an anti-war stance about Iraq or Afghanistan, but an absolute, no-war stance—is a movement defined too narrowly. In the early years of the Vietnam War, teach-ins enabled people to learn the truth about, say, the Gulf of Tonkin. We ought to be doing the same thing today—educating people about the military’s power to end life on the planet. We need to talk to people about their fears of losing their lives to acts of terror. That fear is misplaced. The military is not protecting us—it is creating more insurgents, more enemies of this country. This is fairly clear to many radicals, but not to the public in general. The planet, the globe, is at stake—the Earth cannot withstand war any more. If we cannot stop such gross nonsense, the Earth will stop it for us—plain and simple. I can imagine a March of Life on Washington the likes of which history has not witnessed—a huge coalition of people who say no to war, to pollution, to homophobia, to sexism and racism, to oppression of all kinds. Most of the wars this country has engaged in have been against people of color, including of course our current ones. Imperialism is opposed to everything that Earth First! holds sacred. We must finally see that all these concerns and issues are related. Hate of any kind, discrimination and intolerance of any kind, we must count as social pollution. The issue is not putting an end to the war in Iraq or Afghanistan or Pakistan, or putting a stop to the so-called war on terror. It is a moment of coming to consciousness, of building a new and different and more enlightened and liberating attitude toward the Earth—toward plants and animals and people, toward all living things. The old world, the old, dead world, is built on hate and destruction. It’s time, as they say, to move on—in the largest, most inclusive, most communitarian ways imaginable. Only a communitarian spirit, in my estimation, will save us. |
| Cool Idea; The Pedal-A-Watt Stationary Bicycle Generator
keeping fit while doing something good for the planet by creating electricity without any pollution for over ten years – The Pedal-A-Watt Stationary Bicycle Generator. Use your bicycle along with the Pedal-A-Watt Stand (it takes 15 seconds to drop your bike in) and create anywhere from 100 to 300 watts depending on how strong you are. Then, use this energy to power small, household appliances. For example, a home office with a laptop and high efficiency LED lighting can be run for almost three hours on just a 30 minute workout. The kids can “earn” their TV time by pedaling to create the energy needed to watch their favorite shows. Plus, kids will learn the true meaning of a “watt” and how many watts it takes to power their favorite electronic devices. It gives them a newfound appreciation for the cost of energy in physical terms. And, the user will be helping to stay fit too. The typical adult will burn somewhere between 300 and 700 calories for each 30 minute workout. A few times a week and the calories expended really add up. Plus, the amount of energy created over time is surprising. People all over the world have used the Pedal-A- Watt to power all kinds of items such a projectors, radios, lights in remote villages, water pumps, small heaters, chicken coops and hundreds of other unique applications. The Pedal-A-Watt has been donated to schools across the country to help grade school children learn about alternative energy. Watch Video |

| Free Energy? Will 2010 be the Year of Zero Point Energy? 14 Jan 2010 Posted by froarty For decades researchers have reported anomalous excess heat when atomic hydrogen and catalysts are involved. The mechanisms and therefore the ability to scale the effect have eluded scientists. Researchers point to chemical and nuclear byproducts but both of which are insufficient to explain the amount of heat detected. This article proposes a solution without byproducts pitting natures desire for the diatomic state against a "focused" catalytic force that disassociates these molecules back to their atomic state.( see this animation ).In May 2008 Arata-Yang demonstrated the effect repeatedly using Pd and deuterium. Their experiment was recently replicated by Kitamura et all Phys. Lett. A, 2009. 273(35): p. 3109-3112. In the United States we have a patent granted in May 2008 to Haisch and Moddel for a system based on Casimir cavities and 2 Rowan university validations of the Black Light Process developed by Randell Mills, one in 2008 using reactors and materials supplied by Mills and more the second in August of 2009 a validation using only recipes from Mills while materials were procured commercially. All of these researchers appear to have different theories some of which are in direct conflict with established physics, hence Mills inability to patent a process that is clearly demonstrating excess heat while Haisch and Moddel were able to patent an as yet un-prototyped device using virtually the same physical concept but based on different physics. While the skeletal catalyst Rayney Nickel forms activated pores with geometry making them Casimir cavities the math and chemistry Mills submits to define the reaction is based on catalytic action and requires hydrogen to take on orbital states 2 to 137 times smaller than ground state. Haisch and Moddel rephrase the "hydrino" which violates the laws of physics to what they term a system for converting energy from electromagnetic quantum vacuum by suppressing appropriate frequencies by virtue of the Casimir effect which suppresses longer wavelength vacuum energy as the plates get closer. Mills definition could have been salvaged in 2005 when Jan Naudts proposed the 137 fractional states could be relativistic or even later when in 2007 Ron Bourgoin published a paper that actually proved the 137 fractional states using equations dictating a relativistic environment for electrons(occupying the same spatial position). Mills embraced the support but never redefined his theory or patent application allowing Haisch and Moddel to patent their similar theory unopposed. The Theories still do not explain how the conservation of energy is broken, even if the hydrogen or deuterium translates to relativistic hydrogen inside a Casimir cavity the transition as noted by Mills is nonradiative, according to Mills a reaction is necessary inside the cavity but according to the H-M theory the hydrogen loses energy to the cavity walls but is then restored via the global vacuum energy as it exits the cavity. My point is that any energy differential will cause a back pressure to the hydrogen supply restricting the flow into the cavity equal to any potential energy gains. I am proposing that nature provides two opposing forces inside a Casimir cavity that can be manipulated into oscillating to produce heat. Nature's desire for the diatomic state is opposed by dihydrinos caught in a changing Casimir depletion field. The ability of relativistic hydrogen to translate without photon emission tells us the atom is reshaped from our perspective by the lower vacuum energy inside the cavity. This reshaping can have 137 different values according to Bourgoin's paper forming a gradient based on the very local plate geometry and spacing. These atoms still try to reshape even after forming a molecule but find their efforts opposed by the new covalent bond, the covalent bond gets broken by this reshaping force when the molecule moves to a spatial position where the Casimir force changes sufficiently that the reshaping force disassociates the molecule restoring monatomic energy levels. This reshaping force is based on normally chaotic vacuum fluctuations that normally sum to zero. It appears that multiple inertial frames allow a normally chaotic field to be organized and exploited. The balancing point however is difficult to maintain because nature immediately forces the atoms back to diatomic states which emits a photon and starts the cycle over again in what can become a destructive thermal runaway quickly melting the cavity to relieve the Casimir force and producing the hydride byproducts claimed by Black Light Power or going the other way, starving the process into the slow "life after death" scenario described by Arata and others where a slow excess heat is recorded after the experiment is de-energized and lasting days to weeks depending on the size and geometry of nano powders and loading methods. In the animation note hydrogen on top with normal (red) emission on bonding while moving plates show relativistic atoms translated and spectrum shifted (blue). At bottom an exaggerated multiple vacuum fluctuation is shown twisting with time dilation to appear faster from our perspective vs being displaced by shorter fluctuations per current theory. The reason I lump LENR, sono fusion and other methods to Mills is because I don't feel the skeletal catalyst used by Mill's is just coincidentally composed of Casimir cavities like the Haisch Moddel patent proposes, other catalysts such as Pd and Pd nanopowders (Arata),tungsten cathodes or cathodes formed through dual deposition like the LENR experiments of SPAWAR are also noted for their high surface area indicative of Casimir geometry. It is unlikely these different reports all involving monatomic gas and catalysts are unrelated. even sonoluminescence may be the result of conductive Casimir cavities formed of collapsing menisci with trapped hydrogen transitioning between hydrino and dihydrino states in the same method shown in my animation http: //www.byzipp.com/finished1.swf -and the sonoluminescence produces a similar plasma to the BLP device. Another reason I am tolerant of the hydride byproducts and lack of dihydrinos available for analysis is the very short duration of the BLP reaction. It screams thermal runaway and the byproducts would only account for the destructive reactions necessary to relieve the Casimir force by melting closed or shorting the parallel plates. In my theory there is no byproduct -nature oscillates between the desired diatomic state and molecular disassociation when the new high mobility molecule finds its covalent bond opposed by the individual atoms still trying to transition to different fractional states(relativistic). What is needed is a control loop to keep the frequency slow enough to extract the heat before damage can occur. The fact that other reports of excess heat do not produce these hydrides and can evolve over days or weeks suggests the opposite condition of starvation where oscillation is delayed and slow but still occurs over time as the atomic gas slowly accumulates the velocities needed to exchange time dilation for energy. Kitamura's replication of Arata experiment indicates the effect becomes more prominent with fineness of the nanopowders. The application of Naudts relativistic proposal to the Casimir effect is often met with skepticism, At the macro scale time dilation requires velocities at high fractions of C or crushing gravitational wells that provide equivalent acceleration of similar effect. These effects are concentrating our interaction with virtual particles. We know linear luminal velocity would be impossible to attain in a Casimir cavity so I have assumed equivalent deceleration vs equivalent acceleration. From the Puthoff atomic model I conjecture an energy "pressure" that keeps orbitals in a balanced ground state –hence “my river of time”/virtual particles pressing past our nuclei and growing larger as they flash past our electrons in the final scene of my animation. I want to springboard from this concept to an XY axis of velocity vs time where as v approaches C an animated spacecraft slows it’ s progress along the x axis and starts to rise and contract on the y axis – all with the virtual particle background from above animation playing at 20% alpha illumination to make the point the ships velocity relative to the moving field has a Pythagorean component that becomes more pronounced as matter starts to reach velocities of similar magnitude to the virtual particles. I hesitate to say these virtual particles have a luminal velocity since their "rate" may well establish the relativistic values upon which we measure "time". that said these virtual particles still must obey certain rules and not occupy already existing space causing a “pressure” differential that agrees with Puthoff’s atomic model, I believe this "pressure" causes a vortex around and behind the nucleus (from a 4D perspective) that restores the orbital energy after spontaneous emission and keeps a balanced ground state. This “standard” pressure of time passing from future to past through matter is what I believe Casimir cavities are able to “segregate”. It is not just like a tiny cavity of dead air like you imagine with insulation materials. I believe the plate geometry of conductors concentrate a resistance to this flow like the canvas sails of a sailing ship where a small hole (cavity) creates a relief where the concentrated wind pressure forms a venturi where the speed and pressure is far removed from the nominal wind speed. It is this difference between the nominal value of time and the venturi induced values inside the cavity that we can exploit with atomic hydrogen. In the same paradox manner that accelerating matter in 3D space slows time from our perspective the increased pressure of virtual particles accelerates time from our perspective and decelerates spatial velocity inside the cavity. The absolute difference between our inertial frame and these decelerated frames inside the cavity is often referred to as negative energy regarding Casimir cavities. It suggests a gravity hill as opposed to a deep gravity well in the twin paradox where the space faring twin can park on a high G object to accumulate time dilation, instead the shielded (decelerated) cavity equates to the earthbound twin and hydrogen outside the cavity equates to the "high G" twin. One should not focus on the difference between planetary gravity vs free space which would NOT account for the effect -rather we should consider the "nominal rate" at which virtual particles pass through 3D space which is amplified by this "venturi like" property of a Casimir cavity. The pressure is described by the Casimir formula and is inversely proportional to the cube of the distance between plate geometries inside the cavity. Although we know much about the reaction/surface area metrics of catalytic action the relativistic theory strongly suggests the engine behind these catalytic properties is based on Casimir geometry. |

N.Roerich International Centre-Museum, Moscow Nicholas Roerich (Nikolai Rerikh in Russian) is generally known for his paintings (of which there are around 7,000) but he was also a philosopher, archaeologist, educationalist, writer and cultural leader. He was involved in the building of the first Buddhist Temple in Russia in St Petersburg. He had also studied far eastern wisdom (primarily via the teachings of Swami Vivekananda) and the ancient wisdom teachings via the Theosophical teachings (alongside other adherents of Theosophy such as Mondrian, Kandinsky and, in fact, hundreds of painters at the start of the twentieth century) brought to the world primarily through his Russian compatriot Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. In fact, Roerich, alongside his wife Helena Roerich, was the first person to translate Blavatsky's THE SECRET DOCTRINE into Russian. This is a major work said to be guided by certain Masters of the White Lodge or otherwise known as the Trans- Himalayan occult brotherhood. The Theosophical Society is nonsectarian, nonpolitical and nondogmatic.

| Harrison Bergeron (1995) Welcome to the future. It's a no-brainer. "All men are not created equal. It is the purpose of the Government to make them so." This is the premise of the Showtime film adaption of Kurt Vonnegut's futuristic short story Harrison Bergeron. The film centers around a young man (Harrison) who is smarter than his peers, and is not affected by the usual "Handicapping" which is used to train all Americans so everyone is of equal intelligence. Directed by Bruce Pittman. Screenplay by Arthur Crimm Original Short-Story by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Starring : Sean Astin Christopher Plummer Miranda de Pencier Eugene Levy Howie Mandel Hayden Christensen Sadly, this movie never made it to DVD, so we offer up the best quality version: capped from a 1995 VHS recording made of a Showtime broadcast [which makes this copy a public good]. Good quality with clear audio. You can read the original short story, in it's entirety, here - |
