--thanks for the link to that thread, it had a lot of good info in it and links.

I'm just constantly amazed we are continually tied to a handful of fatcat big companies who make their profits off of oil in the middle east and exporting weapons and ancillary infrastructure to that region. they are controlling us foreign policy to our detriment. if we had bankrupted the middle east, then al nutjob queda and their saudi masters and their western traitor businessmen allies would be paupers and a lot less willing to go about building expensive wahabi mosques all over the world and engaging in terrorism, and we wouldn't have this artifdicially built "need' for this new perpetual war.

Sitting here typing this under electric light provided via solar and batts and inverters/chargers, all of which can be built using our domestic coal and the tarsands, etc, alternative fuels. One could create the other, a force multiplier effect.. Got the laptop running off of solar. will enjoy a nice meal today, girlfriend will remove something from the solar powered freezer, then something else from the solar powered refrigerator. Then cook dinner. Then I will surf, once again, on the solar powerd laptop, while she reads under the solar powered light or watches solar p[owered television. I might listen to the solar powered radio while I surf. maybe during the sday I might engage in a carpentry project and run a solar powered skill saw or sander or whatever. There will probably be some loads of wash run through the washing machine that is runing on solar, as the well water gets punmped by solar. And I'm sitting here with a solar powered electric heater at my feet right now, that is my addition to the domestically produced propane that runs the heater and stove here. We have abundant coal, wind and sun, we can combine those with some other techniqques like biogas, cogeneration, tidal generation, a lot more, a LOT more low head de-centralised hydropower, and etc, etc, to be energy independent, create millions of new jobs instead of losing jobs, and go to bankrupt the nutjobs.

But NOOO, got to keep coming up with state department excuse after CFR meddling, keep being tied to middle eastern oil, and transfer BILLIONS per annum to them so they can be 21st century slave trading mad jihaders, and we get to keep our domestic tax rate hovering at 50%, mailnly from this huge military that protects a handful of connected goon companies with the side benefit of terrorist groups attacking us. All these connections, the big fake out continues.
