Anti Bankster protesters made a bold statement today by destroying a bank outlet in central London. Raw footage shows them breaking the windows and then destroying the inside before coppers were able to get to them.

This is just the beginning of the tidal wave of anger against the Corporate Elite who vampirishly feed of the rotting corpse of the Fiat currency system and are now preparing for their retirement while the rest of society has to foot the bill. Anyone in the banking system must be feeling anxious for their future welfare at this point in time.

The massive 6.8 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar today is indicative of the shifting weight of the Antarctic Western Ice Sheet realigning the pressure placed on the Earths crust and subsequent buckling effect due to the displacement caused by such a huge mass.

What responsibility do the Global Elite and AGW deniers take in rectifying the current situation? Of course the answer is none at all. As far as they are concerned this is business as usual. Nothing to see here, move along please…

What is wrong with the media that they consistently and ignorantly fail to report on the Thorium Fuel economy?

Is it because most of the media organisations are owned by big business interests that have major stakes in the Uranium economy?

Is it because they are just plain stupid?

When something as game changing and obvious is definitively ignored it suggests a massively biased agenda. Do they really think that we are not able to find out the information for ourselves anyway?

If Steve Jobs is Businessman of the decade because he was able to push through sweeping changes in manufacturing processes and effectively strong arm the mobile industry into making a 10 year development cycle in a 2 year period then wouldn’t it be viable for us to force the Nuclear industry and military industrial complex to finally accept that the Thorium Economy is a valid and acceptable way of solving many of the worlds immediate energy problems?

They say it will take 20 years or more for the world to switch to Thorium. Graft, Corruption, Bureaucracy and industrial resistance will make it 100 years before we make any progress. The longer we leave it to get started on the transition the less likelihood we will actually succeed. With every day of the Uranium economy providing the potential for complete global annihilation it is imperative that we as a modern civilization seize the opportunity to make a successful change in our systems to allow us to continue as a species and make the inevitable move into the final frontier.

We cannot continue to waste our time waiting for the people at the top to get the message and decide they want to enable this transition. We have to make them aware that they are not going to have a choice when everyone is dead from the pollution caused by Nuclear meltdowns of aging equipment and “look the other way” government agencies as proven in the Fukushima Cloud of Death debacle and reinforced by the Gulf Oil Disaster.

The current system is designed to allow corruption and graft to succeed. We can do better than that! The people who want to live in and sustain that society should not be allowed to make the decisions for the rest of us!

The people of the Middle East and Africa who know best the situation with their oil reserves, food and cost of living have made their voices heard. Now it is time for the rest of us to get our selves together and force the changes that we need to make sure we are able to move forward as a global society and not just kill ourselves off with increasingly inept and illogical decision making and systems management where passing the buck and dodging the bullet are the status quo if not outright encouraged to be deemed successful.

Recent news has made it to Al Jazeera that people in the gulf area are suffering from unprecedented internal levels of hazardous toxins like cancer causing Xylene resulting in many deaths and severe health effects such as cancer, blood in the urine, constant vomiting and other horrible affects. We were quick to point this out when the oil was flowing that the only rational solution was to nuke the breach and fuse the earth’s crust to prevent this tragedy from getting worse.

Instead they decided to let BP try and fix the problem. The problem that was caused by complete ineptitude and corruption at all levels. Then when they couldn’t manage to do it they had to get the Navy to manage the process but were not prepared to give them the resources they required to do the job correctly.

How is it that they can drop uranium cluster bombs on innocent Iraqis, drive nuclear submarines all over the world, have an arsenal of nuclear weapons that can destroy humanity 10 times over but they were too scared to use a nuke in their own back yard to stop the complete destruction caused by the greedy Elites thirst for oil profits.

They are also still using the highly toxic dispersant Corexit to attack oil plumes that keep rising out of the sea. Effectively causing the oil to stay drifting in the Gulf of Mexico permanently killing everything and anything in it’s path. As the toxic cloud swirls around in the ocean depths it causes death and destruction. Combined with Corexit it is turning the entire gulf into a deadzone.

The questions still remain.

Why aren’t the people who created the mess being held accountable?
Why did the Navy not chose to forcefully require the use of the nuclear option?
Why is the US Govt so addicted to oil as the solution to it’s energy needs when there are so many other options?

They have just last week allowed the first drilling platform to go back online in the Gulf. Do they even care that they are destroying their own backyard for the potential to extract enough oil to provide fuel for less than a day of consumption in the US?

OurFuturePlanet.org has an interesting writeup on the issues Japan face in the coming decade relating to the oil crunch. They make the following point which is the first I have seen in any “mainstream” media source.

The greatest concern is that this time bomb could explode as early as 2015, and with a high probability before 2020 when a global oil crunch has been predicted by Chatham House – Peak Oil report (the UK’s Royal Institute of International Affairs), by the UK Industry Taskforce on Peak Oil and Energy Security – peak oil report (a group of businesses, including Virgin Airlines, Ove Arup and Partners, etc.) and by the Energy Research Centre – peak oil report, amongst others.

To date I have not seen any mainstream media articles or even commentary on these reports linked above. The silence is conspicuous to say the least.

The problem with the Ourfutureplanet.org article is the author talks about Peak oil as though it hasn’t been reached yet. That is a severe misunderstanding of the issue. Peak oil was anywhere between 2000 and 2006 which means that with exponential increasing consumption the following 10 years will require consumption of as much oil as the entire previous history of oil consumption. That’s how exponential consumption works. The doubling period is the time it takes to double the rate of growth in this case consumption. With a consistent doubling rate of 10 years since the start of oil consumption that means that at the oil peak we only have 10 years of consumable oil left.

Of course the oil won’t all be completely consumed as the laws of demand and supply will kick in before then making oil inaccessible to anyone but the super wealthy Elite, Governments and Mega Corporations. In addition by far the majority of remaining oil is termed Energy Negative which means it takes more energy to extract it, process it and distribute it than it will provide once it has gone through that process effectively relegating that oil to use by organisations/people that can afford to waste energy.

The information is not new or hidden but it is just not being reported properly in the mainstream media if at all. Serious questions abound for why we educated westerners are allowing our media organisations to get away with such complacency if not downright neglect. Is it because we really don’t want to know the truth and are happy to let them continue white washing the issue or is it because of a greater conspiracy against us to Dis-educate and keep us in the dark?

Given that we are fast approaching the end of accessible energy positive fossil fuels and that there is a significant problem with existing infrastructure to make up the energy deficit there is one quick solution that no one seems to be actually discussing in earnest.

With the recent events in the Middle East, Egypt in particular, it seems prudent to take on the thorny subject of nuclear powered vehicles being used as power stations for the major cities of the world. We already know that it is possible to track nuclear powered vehicles from their radioactive emissions of neutrinos even from one side of the globe to the other with the correct equipment and physics knowledge. That effectively means that all nuclear powered subs are naked when it comes to stealth purposes. Everyone has got their pants down, no one is more stealthy than anyone else.

So, given that there is no stealth and the energy needs to the major metropolises are much more of a security issue than the possibility of a “surprise military attack” doesn’t it make sense for all those vehicles to be docked and connected to the grid?

In one foul swoop we rid the world of the extremely dangerous and careless potential of a massive environmental disaster due to one of those vehicles suddenly expiring while at sea, we reign in the military weapons that they use to hold the world to ransom and we make efficient use of all the nuclear power that is now being wasted on pointless war games and in the process secure the energy supply of the major metropolises of the world thereby ensuring that the transition away from fossil fuel is as painless as possible.

With all this talk about “orderly” transition with clearly defined objectives in the political process why not actually take the same advice and apply it to the energy crisis. The time for talk and posturing is over. If the Military have any self respect and care for their fellow humans and the world we live in then they should be prepared to make this sacrifice by giving up their toys for the betterment of humanity.

What say you Navy boys and girls? Are you marines up to the task of securing the energy supply of the world or are you unable to open your minds and see a future society where weapons of mass destruction are not a constant threat to humankind but instead provide the power we need to get to through the next 200 years?

The ball, as they say, is firmly in your court…

A very proper report from the UK Committee on Climate Change looks at the future of fuel and electricity supply in Britain. Apart from the obvious statements that meat will be more expensive and there will be an increase in fuel poor people they also provide this rather nice graph of their projected timeline for carbon intensity of supply.

For those of you wondering wtf is carbon intensity of supply here’s an explanation. Basically this is how much fossil fuel contributes to the overall supply of electricity to the grid.

If we use this graph as an overview of the general trend in fossil fuel supplies we can see the UK govt is projecting that within the next 10 years they will have approximately half the energy that they currently get from fossil fuel. We can go a step further to say this looks at though they are projecting that by the end of the decade the whole world will have to accept that we have half as much energy from fossil fuels as we do today. This graph is one of the few projections that is officially sanctioned by a major western power. Along with recent admissions from Russia that they have enough fossil fuel in reserve to meet the needs of todays rate of consumption (RoC) for the next 30 years or approximately 10 years at exponentially increasing RoC.

Interestingly the UK report says they will be controlling the grid and personalised power cuts will become the norm. People will have to eat less red meat, install ground source heat pumps and most cars will have to be electric by 2030.

Given that even the industrial might of the US of A is going to struggle to get just 1 million electric cars on the road within the next 4 years the likelihood of converting the entire world fleet to electric in the next 10 years is almost impossible. By that point any cars being made will be ludicrously expensive to manufacture so very few people will be able to afford them. We can already see that trend with companies like Tesla motors who are positioning themselves at the top end of the current market.

It seems that we as a global community have really missed our chance to make the coming transition away from fossil fuels a smooth process. What is it about forward planning and preparation that is so difficult for multinational corporations to achieve? Isn’t that what people are paid for?

The blest plastic reformer machine which converts waste plastic to fuel oil requires more energy from the electric power source than it creates once the plastic has been converted to fuel oil. This is a pity as it means that converting plastic to fuel is an energy negative process and as most of the energy to do the conversion will come from coal sources or fossil fuel power supplies that makes it fairly pointless to use in a non renewable infrastructure. At which point there may be other less energy intensive uses for the plastic waste.

However we still have a very big problem with waste plastic in the worlds oceans. It would make environmental sense to have the a few big cruise ships and such like collecting the waste plastic as they travel and converting it on board as an addition to their fuel supply. The big ships can burn very low grade fuel down to wet coal dust (coal slurry) so low grade fuel oil attained from converting waste plastic dredged from the ocean is not a problem for those big engines.

The benefits from this will be an effective attempt at cleaning up the plastic waste that is already in the ocean and the costs will be relatively minor as those ships have massive redundancy and can certainly afford a few kilowatts of electricity to be channeled into an onboard processing station. The water is already in abundant supply as they are on the ocean and already have the heat to create steam for a constant supply of distilled fresh water to use as the base of the fuel. In addition the bulk of the plastic has already been conveniently sized into tiny pieces which will increase the efficiency of the convertor. Not to mention that they would be able to recycle all of their onboard plastic waste and further increase their green credentials.

Effectively by taking a cruise you could be contributing to the cleaning and greening of the ocean.

Now that would be a nice bonus to get the global elite contributing without having to drastically change their lifestyle.

With the orchestrated violence and intimidation against the overwhelmingly peaceful people protesting for regime change in Egypt we can see similarities to the methods used by Thaksin Shiniwatra to increase discord and promote his agenda in Thailand.

First gangs of uneducated youths are paid to converge on mass and attack the peaceful protestors with rudimentary weapons i.e. sticks and stones or in the case of Egypt camels and horses. Forcing the protestors to send their own armies of disgruntled citizens to arms as defense against the violent youths. Add in gun battles in the middle of the night, exploding grenades and Molotov’s and you have the ingredients for widespread discord.

What does this process achieve?

Firstly it makes the protestors scared, stressed and agressive which tends to cause mistakes in judgement. This is important as a way of manipulating the negotiation process enabling the more sinister elements to get away with things that would not be possible in calmer situations. Otherwise known as the “Fog of War”. Extreme decisions and options become possible in these situations. The Cuban missile crisis is an example of the Fog of war in action. Kennedy was seriously considering the use of Nuclear weapons to wipe out Cuba and Castro actually encouraged the Russians to ramp up to that level even though he knew it meant instant annihilation.

It is also very useful for scaring investors on the global market. Hence the price of oil going up to $103 today and no doubt it will be at $200 by the end of the month if this mess continues as expected in Egypt. A lot of money can be made by betting against the market in situations like this and there are forces that will happily pay for more violence in order to realise their bets.

The question is who would be so well connected as to be able to put into play all of the required elements to achieve such goals?

Well if we look at the similarities between Egypt and Thailand the answer doesn’t take much effort to realise. A quick search online for companies that have vested interests in both situations at the top most level will reveal all that is needed to see who is most directly responsible for driving the violence (i.e. paying the agitators) in both situations.

The answer shall be left as an exercise for the reader. Suffice to say Mubarak and Thaksin both work for or with this organisation and count among their colleagues some of the nastiest people on the planet. Some might even be tempted to call this organisation “Evil Incorporated”.

A company in Japan going by the name of Blest has a unique method for recycling plastic back into oil fuel. And guess what one of the key components is? Yes, it’s water!!!

They machine uses a heater to melt the plastics and combines the resulting gas with water to create an oil fuel which can be further refined into diesel and gasoline. The plastics that can be recycled include most of the household plastics that we trash on a daily basis. The machines are capable of recycling polystyrene, polyethylene and polypropylene of numbers 2 to 4. PET bottles that fall under number 1 polypropylene, however, cannot be processed.

The current tabletop model can convert one kilo of plastic into one liter of oil, and sells from Blest for $9,500. It uses around 20 cents of electricity for the conversion process. Conveniently, it is claimed that one kilogram of plastic using one kilowatt of electricity can produce one litre of fuel. They claim it takes around 3 hours to recycle 80% of the plastic into fuel oil with the smallest machine. The bigger machines have kg/h ratings.

The quality of the fuel is not apparent. However it would be possible to run a small machine from a rooftop solar+battery system and convert your fuel needs for your car/bike at home. All you would need then is a regular supply of water and waste plastic which is easy for most people to attain without having to make any drastic changes to the way you consume or live.

The marketing Flyer has a nice concise overview with most of the important details outlined Front Back
