It was done using the Electronic Voting Machines and the Template for that was set in the South Carolina Primary Elections, in which a Total unknown, Alvin Greene, was "Chosen" to Represent the Democratic Opposition in the 2010 Mid-Term "Selections"! This was accomplished using the Electronic Voting Machines mandated by the 2002 Republican Congress&Senate! I've been watching this Issue Intensely since it's Inception! The supposed "Chaos" that occurred during the 2000 Presidential Election was used as an excuse for instituting the use of these un-Auditable EVMs (Electronic Voting Machines) to replace those "Confusing) Paper Ballots!<br />Then you Voted by the "Primitive" method of Pencil&Paper and the Mechanical Voting Machines and there was an Audit Trail, even a Signed Document Trail to conduct a Recount with! The Chaos in Florida's Dade County was staged and conducted by the Congressional Staffers of then-Rep Tom Delay and other Republican Congressman's Staffers!<br />After SCOTUS took the unprecedented step of awarding the Presidency to George W. Bush, despite strong evidence that the Election was actually won by Al Gore! Subsequent recounts showed that was indeed the Case and George Bush was Illegally appointed President of the United States and promptly led us into 2 disasterous Wars!<br />Those Wars have already cost the American People in excess of $1.5 Trillion Dollars and the Costs are still mounting unchecked by any Rational criteria or Objective analysis!

The leading candidates for Energy Production in the 21st Century are: Hydroelectric, Solar, Wind, Tidal, Biomass & Geothermal. I omit Nuclear Power because we've not yet conquered the Issue of where to store the Spent Fuel Rods and they are deadly for 150,000 years. Because of the once inexpensive Fossil Fuels during the past 20<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">th</span> Century, we did comparatively little broad scaled research into using renewable resources as a main source of Electrical Power to drive our Industries and Cities.<br /><br />What's needed is a Paradigm Shift that takes us away from Resource Depletion to Resource Replenishment and Recycling all of our Energy Sources and deriving Electrical Energy from totally Reusable and Recyclable Sources. The day when we could use and abuse the limited Resources of our Tiny Planet are long gone and behind us! What lies ahead is an Era in which we are Scrupulous and Frugal with the Remaining Resources we have. The Lives of Ourselves and our Progeny depend on a rapid retrenchment to a Culture that no longer lives like there's no tomorrow, into one that Lives like Today may be our last! That sense of urgency must preface all our actions from this day forth!<br /><br />The current Disaster in the Gulf of Mexico <a href="http://bit.ly/chSNFw">http://bit.ly/chSNFw</a> has made the decision for us. We no longer have the option of gradually making a Transition to Green Power. The need for comprehensive and immediate action has been forced by circumstance upon us. A delay or a "Someday Maybe" attitude means the certain demise of not only our Oceans, but all the multifarious Life Forms that inhabit the Sea and the Land. For you see, all Life on Earth derives it's Existence and it's Sustenance from the Oceans. The Oxygen we breathe, the Water we drink, the Rain that sustains all Plants, the Phytoplankton that's at the bottom of the Food Chain and supports all Higher Lifeforms, all of this is in dire jeopardy of vanishing within a matter of Months, not Years!<br /><br />So in conclusion, I'll say that the Decision's no longer protracted to a matter of Years, but to a matter of months and days! This is not just a challenge to the Industrial Nations of the "Developed World", but to all Nations on Earth! There is no longer the option of gradually evolving into a member of the Industrial Community of Nations. The survival of Civilization itself depends on First World Nations joining in a Global Effort to Nurture the Third World Nations in a joint effort to save Human Culture! The choice is clearly ours and we must chose Unity over Autonomy! Whether we become another Mars or an Earthly Paradise is dependent on the Decisions we make and the Actions we take Today and not Tomorrow!<br /><br />I pray we make the Right Decision!<br /><br /></span></span></span></div>sscoop4http://www.blogger.com/profile/16418480859861075707noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2563724865023519347.post-88989123386138544882010-05-21T11:27:00.000-07:002010-05-22T21:34:38.434-07:00Our "Day the Earth Stood Still" Moment<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >5/22/2010<br />Crooked River Ranch, Oregon<br /><br />Every Culture that has ever existed since the beginning of Recorded History has gone through "Their Moment", that point in their development at which they've had to make a Transformational Decision, one that would forever alter the manner in which they live as Individuals & as a Society.<br /><br />The Egyptians, The Greeks, The Romans and here, in the Americas, The Aztecs, The Mayas and The Incas, all have had their "Moments"! Each was different & unique and, as History tells us, spelled the end of a Global Status Quo that propelled the growth of each Culture and Society! Boom, the bottom fell out of the "Market" that provided either Fuel or Sustenance, sometimes even both were instrumental in the Cultural Collapse!<br /><br />Well my friends, we've arrived at our "Moment" & what Choices we make & what Actions we take will, most likely, change the Course of Human History forever! It has most assuredly changed the Course of American History & Life already and we just haven't noticed in our Sensory-Deprived Stupor, induced by Entertainment Television and Inane Thriller Movies Mass produced and Mass Marketed to Distraction-Starved Citizens the World Over!<br /><br />As one of the World's dominant Industrial Economies since the Industrial Revolution began in the 19th Century, America's assumed a Leadership Role in the expansion of Fossil Fuels Extraction, the Petroleum-Based Energy Production that today, drives the entire World's Economies! We are Prisoners of the Big Oil Cartels and they're not going to loosen their strangle hold on the World's Economies unless we force them to!<br /><br />This Gulf Gusher Crisis Must be the catalyst that finally compels us, as a Culture and as a Society, to make a Quantum Leap to entirely Renewable and Recyclable Energy Sources! We've been teetering on the Brink of that Change for 40 years now and it's time we took that Leap of Faith to the Total transformation of our Power Grid and its Sources of Electro-Mechanical Energy!<br /><br />Already in the World, there are Nations that have begun the Transition from Fossil Fuels to Wind, Solar, Tidal and Geothermal-Driven Generating Plants that supply the Bulk of their Energy needs. Iceland uses Geothermal Steam to create both enough Heat & Electricity to keep Residential and Municipal Buildings heated throughout the year! The Potential exists for Iceland to pay off its large National Debt of 3.8 Billion Euros that it owes to NL & UK in 3 yrs.!<br /><br />Iceland has the Potential to generate 14.8 Tera-watt Hrs. of Steam & Hydro-electrical Power Annually,( </span></span></span></span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/bgVHUl">http://bit.ly/bgVHUl</a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" > ) which far exceeds its Domestic needs and thus allows them to sell that Power to NL & the UK, both of which are in Vital need of Electrical Power. This eliminates the need for more Coal-Fired or Nuclear Generating Facilities, which also eliminates the need for On-Site Nuclear Waste Storage and more Coal Mining Excavations, both of which present their own Environmental Hazards & Risks.<br /><br />Now Germany, The Netherlands, Denmark and France already have copious supplies of Nuclear, Wind, Hydroelectric & Solar Power available, as well as numerous Coal & Gas-Fired Electrical Generating Plants. But even they realize that they're going to have to Phase Out the Fossil Fuel component of their Generating Capacity due to the Air & Water Pollutants that these 19th Century Technologies produce. The Acid Rain resulting from this Atmospheric Pollution is literally eating away at the Stone Monuments & Buildings that have defined Western Culture for Millenniums.<br /><br />Now, where am I going with this lengthy dissertation on the Power & Energy needs & assets of European Nations? This is only a Microcosm of a situation that exists in every Nation & Society on Earth! We're hitting the Ceiling on the Viability of 19th Century Technologies and it's time we realized that this is our "The Day The Earth Stood Still" Moment & this Ghastly Gulf Gusher (Here's the Live Video Feed coming directly from the Site of BP's Blowout & BP's own Camera( </span></span></span></span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/b4nZjv"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">http://bit.ly/b4nZjv</span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" > )). Is the Clock Bell Tower sounding out the Hour & For Whom The Bell Tolls? It Tolls for Thee, We, the People of Earth!<br /><br />We, as a Culture, have hit the Wall & the Future of Human Civilization rests in our Hands & what we do now will dictate the viability of Human Society now and into the Distant Future! Our Lives & those of our Grandchildren depend on what decisions we make & what Actions we take NOW, the Hour Glass is Empty! Is our Culture going to end with an Ocean incapable of sustaining any Life at all? Is this where Greed and Blind Avarice are going to leave us? I sure as Hell Hope not!<br /><br />Humbly Yours...Scott S.

At 9:45 PM CST on the evening of April 20<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">th</span>, all that changed irrevocably, as a massive Gas & Oil explosion ripped apart the floating factory & snuffed out the lives of 11 Oil Drilling Riggers & began what has become the worst Oil Disaster in the History of the World!</span></span></span><br /></div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" ><br /><br /> Immediately, the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Spin Meisters</span> of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">BP</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Halliburton</span> & <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Transocean</span> Ltd. began flooding the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Main Stream Media's</span> News Divisions with a Maelstrom of Misinformation about the Catastrophic Scale of the Disaster! Nobody was releasing details about the exact Nature or Magnitude of the Incident! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">BP</span> was hesitant to release Video or detailed Data to a still sleeping Nation! The News Organizations that we rely on for Information hadn't yet begun to carry the story World Wide!<br /><br /><br /> Due to that hesitation to disclose the scale & magnitude of the Blowout & what remedial steps we needed to take immediately, Authorities & Govt Agencies were </span></span></span><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" >kept</span></span></span><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" > from implementing a Disaster Recovery Plan that could have ameliorated some of the worst case scenarios that have subsequently become Fact!<br /><br /><br /> Now that the Die is cast, the real Issue becomes what cost to the responsible Parties is the consequence of their actions going to be? The answer is easy & one that will define the role that Govt Agencies & Legal Entities will play with regard to Private Industries for years to come! We must Nationalize all the Holdings & Assets of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">BP</span> Inc & Ltd, all the Assets & Holdings of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Transocean</span> Ltd & all the Assets & Holdings of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Halliburton</span> Inc & Ltd & dissolve them as Corporate Entities Internationally!<br /><br /><br /> This is not Socialism! This is not Communism! This is called Justice for those most affected by this World-changing Event, the People of Earth, whose lives are now altered in ways not yet imagined & never before seen! The very Survival of all Life on Earth is now teetering on a very precarious fulcrum & has most surely been altered forever! Prayer & Meditation may now be the only Powers left to us & the ones we will most need to cope with our now forever-altered World.<br /><br /><br /> For now, all my energy will be directed toward promoting Love, Compassion & Equanimity to all the Universes & the myriad host of Beings we share this Now with. And to all my Fellow Human Beings, I implore you to take final & irreversible actions to limit & define the role & responsibilities to Society of all Corporate Entities from this day forward!<br /><br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Namaste</span> my Brothers & Sisters<br />Peace & Compassion to all Beings<br /><br /></span></span></span>sscoop4http://www.blogger.com/profile/16418480859861075707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2563724865023519347.post-3014588209325436802010-05-16T14:23:00.000-07:002010-05-22T23:26:53.445-07:00Oilpocalypse Now<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> This being my first Post,I'm going to focus on the Dire Situation we find ourselves(All Beings) in with regard to the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">BP</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Deep Water</span> Horizon's Crude Oil Gusher happening right now in the Gulf of Mexico!<br /><br />At present, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">there're</span> between 10,000 & 80,000 ( <a href="http://bit.ly/cQ6fuz">http://bit.ly/cQ6fuz</a>) Barrels of Sweet Light Crude Oil spewing into the Gulf of Mexico each & every day! An Exxon Valdez Spill occurring every 4 days! The tragic effects of That Spill are still being felt 20 yrs. later with no end in sight!<br /><br />To say that the risk of another event of this magnitude happening again is very Low, is to be oblivious to the Reality that this 1 current Spill has the potential to cause the destruction of the Entire World's Oceans! This is a process that could take years to unfold in its terrifying Full Magnitude!<br /><br />Currently, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">BP</span> & its Cronies are involved in a Finger Pointing Free for All in which no one is taking real Responsibility for this now-Criminal act of Gross Negligence! One which has already cost the Lives of 11 Rig Workers & millions of Sea Creatures thus far & <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">shows</span> no sign of Abating anytime soon!<br /><br />To make matters worse,<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"> BP </span>& its Cohorts are spraying Emulsifiers both onto Surface Oil & into the Gusher as it roars forth from the 3 known leaks 1 mile down on the Sea Floor!These Emulsifiers break up the Oil into Micro-Droplets & disperse them far and wide as the Gulf Stream begins to bring this Mass of Crude around Florida and up the East Coast of the US & all the way to Greenland & back around the West Coasts of Northern Europe & down along the Coasts of England, France & Spain!<br /><br />Are you beginning to see the Enormity of this Crisis now? These are just the Coastlines & don't begin to address the Deep Water affects this Water/Oil Mass has as it's moved along the Ocean Floor by Deep Water Currents that we've not yet identified or <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">that've</span> not yet been observed because we're not yet using Chemicals or Dyes that can be traced by their behavior or Presence!<br /><br />These Micro-Droplets are so small, that they're absorbed <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Osmotically</span> through the Gills, Skin & Soft-Tissues of all Sea Creatures, Fish & Mammals alike, even Plankton & Diatoms! Once these are in the Tissues, they'll begin to display their Toxic effects & kill the Organisms, no matter how large!<br /><br />Now the real damage begins as these Corpses are devoured by creatures on up the Food Chain, ending, of course, with us, the Top Carnivores on the Planet! We already know the results of Top Predators consuming Toxins accumulated in the Tissues of their Prey!<br /><br />The near extinction of Bald Eagles from DDT in the '70s & the massive die-offs of Monarch Butterflies brought on by Monsanto's <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">BT</span> Corn, a GM (genetically modified) Plant that produces it's own Insecticide to ward off Pests! Unfortunately, it also kills off Bees & all other Pollinators that depend on Corn Pollen to survive!<br /><br />By now, you're beginning to grasp the enormity of the Scale of this Disaster! And the "Drill Baby Drill" Crowd's already calling for more Off Shore Drilling leases & Permits to be issued to Big Oil so they can continue down this <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Oilpocallyptic</span> path in The Arctic Wildlife Refuge, where a Spill of this Magnitude would be Impossible to Clean up!<br /><br />In conclusion, does any one of you reading this Post not think it's Time we begin to transition off <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">FFs</span> & moved to Wind, Solar, Tidal, Biomass & Geothermal Energy Sources before it's too late and our Beautiful Blue Marble becomes a Desert Wasteland, incapable of supporting any Life form bigger than Ants or Bacteria?<br /><br />The choice is clearly ours & we must choose the Path of Sustainability over the Path of certain Extinction! A Planet our Grandchildren can Live on, or a Planet that's unable to any-longer support Complex Life Forms?<br />I want my Grandchildren & yours to thrive, so I'm willing to Sacrifice anything that will make that possible, are YOU?<br /><br /><br /></span></span></span></div>sscoop4http://www.blogger.com/profile/16418480859861075707noreply@blogger.com1
