I was at a friend's house recently, and we watched a documentary Media Malpractice: How Obama got Elected and Palin was Targeted by John Ziegler.
It was so well done that I went home and ordered it online immediately. It was as powerful as the documentary on the media coverage of the Tet Offensive Television's Vietnam: The Impact of Media which was narrated by Charlton Heston.
It also contains two powerful add-ons, a 45 minute interview with Sarah Palin in which she came across as she really is, not chopped up and reassembled by the likes of Katie Couric's editing team. Very complimentary.
The other add-on is a series of interviews with Obama voters. If you have ever got that sinking feeling watching Jay Leno interview people on the street in his "Jaywalking" segment and thought "Oh my God. We are so screwed as a country to have idiots like this walking the street and voting!", you can multiply that sentiment by whole numbers greater than one. I think what is most distressing about it is coming face to face with the power of an ideological media willing to use that power, and the outward sentiments of people who don't even realize they have been manipulated which resulted in an American hating Marxist and Socialist being elected to the Office of the Presidency.
I cannot recommend any video I have seen lately more highly than this one. The name was Media Malpractice: How Obama got Elected and Palin was Targeted (by John Ziegler)
Anyone who hasn't completely tuned out the media (as I have) is going to believe that, because that is the template.
Drill here, now, everywhere, produce and burn cleanly, more efficiently and eliminate all pollution with no different C02/Oxygen mix than the ambient air. Do it with cheaper, simpler, gasoline and cheaper, simpler, cleaner refining. Produce all gas and use all methane produced by waste for power. Fluidize coal and burn it efficiently. Decentralize atomic power and produce more atom powered ships. Increase offshore production by 3 or more and drill under the Cubans, the Chicoms and the Russkies off our coasts. Create thousands of low head hydropower sites, particularly in areas where their creation can combine decentralized power production with upstream flood control and an increase in local recreation attractions.
Tax incentivize individual hydro, wind and solar in rural areas and the exurbs where they work and encourage at the local level such devices where they have proven workable in the face of restrictive zoning and ownership association restrictions on a local level. Discourage boondoggles that don't work in the marketplace, starting with ethanol and bio-diesel. Start with a level playing field in that regard for innovations such as Bill Talbert's E II patented better gasoline that we have posted about often on this forum and are working on implementing at this point, abroad rather than here because of the obstruction of ethanol, the obsession with which, despite its years of failure, has blocked a number of badly needed innovations within oil by the power of the big-ethanal lobby in their dance with big environment and several of the larger oil companies and auto companies that have been resistant for years to what Dr. Christiansen so aptly has termed "disruptive" technology. The present blocking of innovation within oil is preventing innovation accross the board becausei it means that government and not markets is doing the choosing. People use oil products predominantly so that is where market based innovation will naturally begin if not obstructed.
In this regard you must lead a coalition of governors, mostly from the West, but including the about to be new Republican governor of Virginia that will simply by pass the not only useless but counterproductive Federal DOE with a cooperative agency similar to Alberta's AOSTRA. A handful of states competing with each other but cooperating in the manner of agricultuaral innovators under the Act which launched agricultural research in state universities will succeed where Jimmy Carter's DOE has been worse than a failure.
Put industrial water use on true recycling and stop wasting energy transporting water needed for other essential purposes for industrial use.
See our articles on WND over the years and postings here.
Above all undo the damage at the patent office initiated so outrageously by Clinton/Gore but made worse by Bush and the damage done by a Republican Congress in the '90's which General Sumner testified against to no avail in hearings before Congresswoman Ross-Lehtinen. Restore incentives for inventor/entrepeneurs within the small companies where innovation is the highest in oil and it will then automatically follow in other areas of energy. The government should be completely out of the business of deciding which alternatives to oil we should pursue. Free innovators and the market will decide.
At present we are working in several western states on a combination that would use the inventions of several inventors to produce better/cheaper asphalt in combination with cleaner diesel, aviation fuel (in which we believe that some redesign can be done as Bill Talbert has with E II within gasoline) and E II. Talk to our colleague Scott Brosier in Amarillo.
Lead with E II because it can be used as soon as the refining of it is in place in today's cars as they are and can burn completely cleanly without any pollution, with far lower cost and mileage improvements up to 40% Its use will eliminate most of the engine wear and with a little additional testing can lead to the elimination of the use of the costly catalytic converter and the demonstrable end of car-produced supposed contributions to global warming.
This Friday, several us will be meeting here at a restaurant in Alexandria. General Gordon Sumner ("Marching On") is up with his lovely wife from Santa Fe. Admiral Mark Hill will be there as well. Send someone to eat with us and ask us questions. Kristinn and others here may have thoughts on such a meeting as well.
A “Mr. Obama” ping.
WOW! Sarah is JUST FANTASTIC! She certainly knows how to word an idea in a very cohesive manner. Just WOW! I agree with her...who DECIDES what our President can give to other nations in terms of OUR MONEY anyway? What oversight is there on a President who would, say, GIVE BILLIONS to another nation for whatever reason? War money must be ok’d by congress. But what about this money uhbama is sending to Brazil so that Brazil can drill offshore (we can’t but we will pay for others to enjoy the energy benefit?).
Yep. Fred lost the support of this Tennessean when he quit the race just as things were starting to heat up. I thought his decision was way too premature and had he stayed in for a while longer, even if he wasn't winning, he could have at least helped to direct the topics of conversation to conservative issues. I won't make the mistake of supporting a quitter again.....
Sound advice - no pun intended. But how does one deal with environments like a windy tarmac, or a building that is acoustically deficient, with a less than high end - dialed in sound system, and cheering crowds? Isn't the tendency to want to raise the voice so you can hear what your saying and make yourself heard by the crowd?
Just asking.... Given the choice of standing before a crowd speaking, or in a ring with lions, I'll take the lions.
On the other hand, China would certainly spend the money and demand a piece of the action if we didn’t do it...though I don’t credit the Obama admin with such blinding foreign policy acumen!
Do we need Einsteinian genius’s in the white house or reasonably intelligent folks with strong American values (with the ability to add and subtract and live with the bottom line in stead of creating money out of nothing)?
Ah, the Leonard Skinner technique - "Turn it Up!"
He is the flesh and blood antonym to Sarah Palin whom the media consciously set out to destroy. The media did to her what I was urging conservatives to do to Barack Obama when I said that we would lose the election if he were not "morally" destroyed.
I called it the Obama Pathology before the election, and made it the subject of a vanity which concluded that Obama could not fail to be elected so long as he played out his role which was to be a non-threatening black man acceptable to Whites and utterly removed from the mold of Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. The media were simply complicit in this flim flam. Hence the need to morally destroy Barack Obama. It now appears that the man himself is doing the deed for us.
I believe that the electorate is now coming to the point where it senses that it is the victim of a gigantic bait and switch, the greatest bait and switch in American history. I believe their indignation is generated as much by their recognition that they have been had, that their good nature has been presumed upon, as by their fear over their jobs, mortgages, and their children's futures.
Palin’s sound is genuine. People can tell in the inflection and tone in her voice that she means what she says. That is a large part of her appeal.
Walk in to your local cell phone store, and you will find three or four “Obama Sounding” sales people who will have you signing a three year contract before you know it. We don’t need Sarah to sound like the guy/gal at the cell phone store.
Not one network mentioned this scheme of Obama’s on yesterday’s broadcasts. Not one!
Besides the $2 billion of our money for off-shore drilling in another country, guess who this benefits?
Petrobras makes up 23% of George Soros’ financial portfolio! That is one part I really want Sarah to mention - make that connection, Sarah, because it’s there.
I am gonna agree with you there.
Sadly, we live in a society where the voice and the tone of what one says, carries as much weight with the general public, as the substance of what one is saying. So yeah, her voice and her delivery, are some of the things she should work on, to give her voice some more gravitas and authority.
I wondered where the payback was. I figured it was there because that's Mr. Obama's MO.
China just signed a huge gas deal with Exxon for gas from Australia. (offshore).
Palin just hit another one out of the park. Let’s see if Zero dares to respond.
Just heard a few minutes ago on KSFO 560 San Francisco.
A listener emailed Lee Rodgers and indicated that he found on Bloomberg, information that George Soros owns a large portion of the stock in the company that Obama is going to loan our dollars to for oil exploration. I cannot seem to find the information but maybe somebody with more experience searching than I can find it.
