Keith,
I think it is quite irrelevant who sold what to whom, Hypothetically,I 
have the all the means at my disposal to kill a very large amount of 
people, does it mean the people that educated me are responsible? how 
about my bank? The money will come from them.!? The supply source is 
irrelevant. I could use anything in my hypothetical backyard and I'm no 
genius.Anybody can. The world history is full of these people that  murder 
millions. The right person will be in the right place at the right time to 
take them out. That's a given. Hopefully  political b.s. that man 
orchestrates won't impede the job that has be done before these people  
go on their  murderous rampage.
War has it's casualties let's not be one of them. We live in  free

You cannot defy the will of the world, the President proclaimed. You

you the capacity to use them again.


Most Americans listening to the President did not know that the United

chemical and biological warfare program. Nor did the media report that 
U.S. companies sold Iraq more than $1 billion worth of the components

the Iraqis a green light to attack Iran, in response to repeated 
provocations. Throughout much of the war, the United States provided

 that were funded and 
aided by the U.S. national security state.


The U.S. national security state has participated in covert actions or 
proxy mercenary wars against revolutionary governments in Cuba, Angola, 
Mozambique, Ethiopia, Portugal, Nicaragua, Cambodia, East Timor, Western 
Sahara, and elsewhere, usually with dreadful devastation and loss of life 
for the indigenous populations. Hostile actions have been directed against 
reformist governments in Egypt, Lebanon, Peru, Iran, Syria, Zaire, 
Jamaica, South Yemen, the Fiji Islands, and elsewhere.


Since World War II, U.S. forces have directly invaded or launched aerial 
attacks against Vietnam, the Dominican Republic, North Korea, Laos, 
Cambodia, Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, Libya, Iraq, and Somalia, sowing 
varying degrees of death and destruction.


Before World War II, U.S. military forces waged a bloody and protracted 
war of conquest in the Philippines in 1899-1903. Along with fourteen other 
capitalist nations, the United States invaded socialist Russia in 1918-21. 
U.S. expeditionary forces fought in China along with other Western armies 
to suppress the Boxer Rebellion and keep the Chinese under the heel of 
European and North American colonizers. U.S. Marines invaded and occupied 
Nicaragua in 1912 and again in 1926 to 1933; Cuba, 1898 to 1902; Mexico, 
1914 and 1916; Honduras, six invasions between 1911 to 1925; Panama, 
1903-1914, and Haiti, 1915 to 1934.

You were right and I am wrong and I am glad that I did get
a very good explanation on how Hubbert could be so right.

It also explains why president Carter was so genuinely
worried, when he developed his energy plan. He had the
foresight to realize that Hubbert was right.

It also explains why we see the surge in the genuine hate
of Americans. It is the cost of aggressive and egoistic foreign
policies, that resulted in about 10 more years of artificially
low oil prices.

All of this, ending up in an almost criminal behavior by the
Bush administration. I say almost, because I do not want
to be too crude. The legal aspect of being criminal, is very
clearly established, Criminal, established by the fact that we
now know that Iraq were no WMD threat to US. By laying
the responsibility at the feet of faulty US intelligence
community, the Bush administration is trying deliberately
to avoid their legal responsibility. A kind of reversed side
of the well known argument it was not my fault, I was
ordered to do it. LOL

All of this supported by the America people, in a reelection
of president Bush. I hear the false argument that only 48%
voted him in office. This argument is poor mathematics, I
cannot get to this result, when Bush won with a more than
3 million of the populous American vote. It was the first
election of Bush, that he did not have a populous majority

With oil prices at an all-time high and Big Oil
reporting record profits this year has been exceptional.


Am I missing something?  If prices for a raw input go up then the sale 
price also goes up.  However, provided the prices go up at near the same 
rate of the inputs then profits should also remain basically stable. 
However, the oil companies are pulling out profits left and right. 
Therefore, if they are profiting then the retail price of fuel is 
artifically high and not high mearly because of crude prices.


I know its not this simple and that the theories of supply and demand 
weigh in, but why are people (ie. the masses) not questioning what 
appears to be collusion?




It might be collusion (and if so, who would we question?), but probably 
not. Oil company product is crude oil, not gasoline, in many cases. Why do 
oil companies charge high prices for it? Because they can - there are many 
buyers who REALLY want that oil, and are willing to pay the price. Oil 
company profits have increased because their crude oil production costs 
have not increased that much, and the price they can charge has increased. 
Also, their exploration costs have decreased, since they are not investing 
in exploration.  And why should they, from a business point of view? 
Searching for oil costs money, and if found may have the effect of 
reducing the price, and therefore profits, and stock price, and executive 
bonuses!  A bad idea.  And there might not be more to find in any case, so 
then it would just costs money to look, reducing profits, and so on.  Even 
if they think there MIGHT be more oil to find, why invest in finding it 
now?  Let the price and profits stay hig!

h for a while.

I hope this is just my cynical view of the oil business...

Subject: [Biofuel] The Lutec over unity device


This device (see attached pic) is due for release, starting in Australia 
where Lutec Pty Ltd is located, and then
to all countries where licensing is completed. This device can furnish the 
all the electricity
needed by the average home and runs on battery power. It produces 15 times 
more energy
than it uses from the battery input. It's installed in the home where it's 
to be used.
See their website at: www.lutec.com.au It appears to be the real deal. Let's 
hope it is.
Peace and light, D. Mindock  P.S. It is interesting that the Australian 
government would not provide
any startup help whatsoever. Let's hope nothing stops the release of this 
new technology. It does
seem that every time something like this comes along it is trashed by vested 
powers. It is not hard
to imagine this technology powering cars and trucks, producing zero 
pollution and unlimited

mileage.

Re: [Biofuel] Biodiesel processor

2005-03-29 Thread Henri Naths


I just joined the group, and I must say this is a very interesting group
from the little that I read.
   A little about what I'm doing... I've been in welding, construction,
researching alternate fuels/ energy, millrighting, etc.etc... for about 30
odd years. As the saying goes  I've done so much with so little for so long
I can now do anything with nothing lol.  Work, family and a host of other
diversions has garnered my attention away from what my passion is.. that is
alternate energy. We have recently formed a company, Energy7 and have on 
staff,

amongst other professional, a chemical engineer/mathematician. Right now our
research, amongst other thing is biomass to methanol Being in Central
Alberta that's like trying to sell snowballs to Eskimos..lol..Being busy as
always I don't have much time to write but I will try to be on board most of
the time.
Till later, cheers,
Henri

I am looking for a processor that I can pull around the Denver area on a
trailer promoting biodiesel!
