  • Why do they do stupid things like kill the electric car years ago?

  • why is someone peeing when obama is talking

  • Also from MIT! Making Clean Energy a viable business opportunity. MIT now offering executive education program Clean Energy Ventures: Creating Innovative New Businesses Through Entrepreneurial Management

  • Go to mitexecedDOTcom/cev for more information and the course listing

  • yes we can

  • @rubbe lol

    Imagine one day, 30 years from now, we might be saying "Yes we did" XD

  • i would like that 2

  • He says this with one side of his mouth but with the other he is increasing our foreign policies of aggressions overseas in order to win the energy reserves in the middle east.

    So, we could be using this time we have now, with plenty of energy, to build self sustaining clean energy sources, or we can increase our wars of foreign aggression to take their energy sources. Make no mistake which course is being chosen for us by our leaders. I do hope for the best though. lol hope pun intended.

  • You one of those people who decried the Afghan invasion because it's "all about the oil"? Sorry, but they DON'T HAVE ANY. Lots of opium, cannabis, and rare gems/metals though. Afghanistan has fuck-all to do with energy, it's to do with those fanatical assholes the Taliban, who's human rights abuses are rivaled by few others. Btw, the Taliban was an invading force themselves, forcing a martial/sharia law representing Pushtan Islam, which only represents a TINY proportion of the people there.

  • oh come on you can't be that ignorant about the situation there. The pipelines that have to go through Afghanistan and Pakistan from Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan to the Caspian also, in order to deny those resources to the Russian block etc...

    Anyone who has access to google map and half a brain can see what is going on over there. Are you saying that the deployment of US forces is not to protect corporate interests? Of course they are. Has nothing to do with bringing democracy to the area.

  • im sure obama has nothing to do with those kind of war decisions.. imagine the huge amount of pressure placed on any president by military generals, all sorts of advisors and even bankers/defense contract owners... war also is good for employment rates. any president would have their hand forced on that

  • Nah go Australia!

    If america doesn't come up with something their economy is going to crash over the next decade or two.

  • great!!!

    Obama leads!!

  • @robertobelga Honestly, Obama could have been an oil fan, and I would have voted for him, just on his foreign policy alone.

    I'm sick of america having a view that we shouldn't talk with our "enemies"

    Silence breeds paranoia, and paranoia leads us to very dark parts of the human mind.

  • He's become a prompt-reader, like Bush. A better reader, though.

  • rhetorics

  • what a moron

  • Solar energy directly to the sun.

  • I'm all for unregulated clean energy, but I doubt that that's what the U.S. government is pushing for.

    Carbon-based life forms are what we are. You can't make more of what's already on Earth, you can only change its state of being and we are arrogantly willing to believe a few forests of humans can kill mother nature by giving our greenery more of what they need.

    Carbon taxes? Peak oil? Climate change due to humans? All bogus and all an excuse to limit freedom and prosperity.

  • absolutely correct!

  • why the sound is coming from my left speaker only?

  • @cnoq8 hes left wing no?

  • we dont believe you!

  • There he goes again! Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah!

  • The US government spent $52.4 billion on nuclear weapons in 2008, according to US think tank the Carnegie Foundation. This is 14 times the budget on energy research!

    I really want to believe in Obama's words but then i want to see some REAL money go into energy research. They could increase their budget by 10 or 20 times....just take the money from the military!

  • It's crazy, our economy would BOOM if we re-geared toward manufacturing solar panels and other technology, and we'd save countless amounts on energy costs, not to mention the environmental and health benefits.

    Developing and refining renewable sources of energy should be our next Manhattan Project/Apollo Program. But I'm REALLY doubting Obama is going to put that in motion.

  • When I saw a program about Detroit and how they have all these empty car factories and I thought 'Jeez, they should use them to make renewable energy and stuff like that.

  • An unlimited energy source could have been manifested by Nikola Tesla through his Wardenclyffe Tower in the early 1900's. Yes, a 100 years ago. But if this became a reality, somebody would have lost out on a lot of MONEY (specifically J.P. Morgan, who funded the Wardenclyffe Tower as a radio tower, until Morgan found out about its other capabilities. It's not accident that we use stupid methods to harness energy today.. It's all about money and control. There's a method to the madness.

  • I've heard such stories about Tesla's experiments before (he also made a car that ran on "ether" energy, supposedly), but I personally count them as myths.

    But your initial point still stands. The oil and coal companies pretty much dominate the economy. No one should be naive enough to think they aren't dedicating HUGE political clout to maintaining their control of the world's energy.

  • Comment removed

  • Your nuts

  • Comment removed

  • what is this tower you speak of? tell me moar

  • why is new scientist showing this?

  • Probably the same reason they created a video that's pro healthcare reform. A little biased maybe?

  • I agree...they should report on political actions, not promises. Politicians promises isn't worth the air they breathe if they can't keep them.

  • @takadi because science and technology are intertwined, and new technology will need to be created to make new efficient power sources. :P

    I see part of your point, being that this is a obvious move for support of Obama, however sometimes I suspect these kinds of moves are more innocent than a paranoid mind might think ;)

  • while we're waiting for this "new energy race" to pan out and be actually economical viable, shouldn't we drill for more oil in our own country? I'm all for more efficient and renewable energy sources, but it just sounds stupid to devote all your effort towards technology that won't be viable for another 10-15 years, while not worrying about your current energy needs today.

  • It's definitely worth some consideration, but our oil companies already own a lot of drilling land around the world that they choose NOT to pump from. The reason for that is that they can wait until prices are at their peak before raising production, ensuring they get maximum profit from crude oil.

    Sure, giving them permission to drill from more spots would help the supply, but it would probably help us more if we busted the several trans-national oil companies into smaller outfits.

  • this is the ultimate president thing to do. forget the debt. win the energy race and you'll vaporize it.

  • does NS have an opinion on the subject of man made, global warming?

  • check out "the obama deception" ppl.

  • I'm not a paranoid schizophrenic who believes in the new world order, Illuminati or your other wacky conspiracy theories.. What are you doing on this site?

  • ...If you are a gullible Alex Jones sheep.

  • YES !

    Everyone watch "The Obama Deception"..... you can torrent it legaly at piratebay.

  • All ppl from USA.

    You should be glad to have such a charismatic, intelligent and good looking leader.

    I like your president : )

  • You are 22, and not an American. What presidents have you seen? You were 14 when Bush was elected, lets say you started paying attention to politics at 12, you have seen 2 presidents.

    It just makes us Americans feel all warm inside that 22yos from Europe like our President.

    You don't vote, you don't pay taxes, you don't have to pay for any of Obamas decisions.

  • True.

    So let's forget the "You should be glad part...".

    I just like your President.

    Plain simple ; )

  • if u cant see whats going then theres nothing ican do for you becaiuse it should be fucking obvious to people by now.

  • Your the man ! trying to warn us like a prophet Good for you! Well done.

    Clearly not even medication can help you becasue its fucking obvious to people by now you damm well need it lol

  • Glad you are convinced Obama. Kinda hard to buy it though since Obama has been wrong about EVERYTHING else so far. What a joke.

  • W00T

  • over 100 % Effizient it would be a perpetummobile

    But i think what you mean is that to build this fusion reakter you need energy and the earlier you can produce more energy than you needed to build it the cleaner it is :-D

  • GO Geotherma !!!! 98% efficient. All natural. we have the drilling capabilities to set up plants any where in the world. Geothermal can be used to desalinize water. This technology has been used for hundreds of years and is completely safe.

  • The nation that solves the power problem will run the world? Damn, looks like Europe will rule again thanks to the breakthroughs being made at the ITER and DEMO labs. These are a pair of advanced fusion labs which so far have been able to achieve 85% fusion reaction efficency, a little more time and tweaking will allow over 100% giving mankind a source of nearly unlimited clean power.

  • While it may be located in France, it's an international effort by Japan, China, India, USA, South Korea and Russia, as well as the EU. Also, none of these reactors are running yet ITER is slater for 2018, while DEMO is slated for around 2030, with a possible full scale power plant, if all goes well, around 2050

  • rofl over 100% efficiency you say? The LAW of conservation of energy disagrees with you.

  • The law of conservation doesn't apply to this because that's not what I'm talking about. Acheiving over 100% efficiency means that they are able to produce more electricity from the fusion reaction than is required to cause it in the first place. For example, it takes 10mj of power to cause a fusion reaction, you are able to produce 11mj of power from this reaction, you have now acheived over 100% efficiency.

  • "Acheiving over 100% efficiency means that they are able to produce more electricity from the fusion reaction than is required to cause it in the first place." I assumed you meant you get more energy out than what is put in. I guess if you lose mass in the process it doesn't break the law.

  • except only stars are able to sustain fusion for long enough, unless scientist have found a way to control recently i doubt they will soon either

  • By your logic gasoline engines are way over 100% efficient.

  • No, since it doesn't take electricity to run a gas engine. A laser enduced fusion reaction takes a massive amount of power to initiate, fusing two big particles into one smaller one. That releases alot of energy, we catch that energy to produce electricity. If we catch enough we can make enough power to run the fusion laser and have a surplus, aka over 100% effecient.

  • why is a rectangular glass on the right side?

  • its the speech that was said you can only see the words from the other side

  • I think it's a teleprompter.

  • The sound on this vid is terrible, was it filmed on a mobile phone? The guy has 2 mics right in fron of him.. would it have been beyond the wit of man to get some sort of feed?

  • he should of started this shit at the begining of his term.

  • shuda woulda coulda... at least hes trying

  • 'bout time gauwd

  • John Searl has clean energy but Obama ignores him. JohnSearlStory,com SearlSolution,com Dr. Steven Greer has clean energy but Obama ignores him. TheOrionProject,org AERO2012,com Tesla figured it all out and his 14,000 patents were seized under a national security order. His work is still ignored. Obama ignores the GEET technology, TheVenusProject,com, Stan Meyer's technology, etc. "Clean" coal is laughable and obsolete. Nuclear is laughable and obsolete. Wake up.
  • Thanks TheRealVerbz, that's exactly what I wanted people to get aware of, I just hope they'll consider this seriously for once!

  • Right on brother!!

  • Wake up,

    People with some physics background are only laughing on this ideas.....

    (if these technologies would be really working efficiently, do u think those companies who make solar energy and wind turbines and other clean energy wouldnt pick it up?)

    the best energy source would be moon's H3 ,but it would need insane starting money to start mining on moon.D

  • You realise that big oil CEOs run the dep of energy?They decide if a technology hits the market and that stuff wil be stonewalled.MIT has 12 Kromrey converters(overunity) and much more, so why do they keep their mouth shut?Vacuum energy is like water and cant be taxxed,there4 you will never see that kinda tech.Eventually it will be H3 because it costs money...nice world we live in

  • Vacuum energy pff...

    start learning physics. its all US education fault.

  • Verbz: you'veat least got some balls pushing H2O2, vacuum energy, perpetual motion nonsense on a NewScientist vid. I despair of the state of general physics knowledge. Could you at least read a textbook before acting like you know everything? If you're so worried about the NWO, perhaps you could start with one published in the 1800s?

  • Your comment is nonsense. not the information I present.

    Research something for god's sake.

    If you represent the majority of people I fear for this world.

    I despair your lack of physics knowledge.

    I'm more worried for people like you.

    I wish you well ignorant one.

  • Clean coal is laughable the ecnomics and storage is unrealistic and too expensive. But I am curious how you arived at the conclusion Nuclear is "laughable and obsolete". Which green ideologist filled you with these lies?

  • how can you deny a new world order agenda the politicians have been calling for it themselves. Its like obama being dick cheneys cousins people dont believe me but it came from the horses mouth obama, just like george bush and john carry admitted to being members of skull and bones. Ask youself this is something wrong when your president is a member of a secret society which uses the same symbol u get on a bottle of poison... seriously dont bother commenting back with typical pure denial

  • My dad was a member of the Freemasons.  Secrete societies are all over the place.

    Im sorry but your Paranoid and unhinged. I can deny a new world order becasue I keep an open mind. I dont go looking for eveidence to back up my assumptions......like you do

  • John Searle is a fraudster.

    He should not be ignored - HE SHOULD BE IN JAIL.

  • From this clip there was nothing that suggested clean. New energy sources is more the topic.

  • Hell it's about time!

  • hope hes still pure

  • ?! Pure ?! You serious? If Obama is pure, well... so is Charles Manson...

  • Obama is comparible to Charles Manson?!

    *sigh*

  • if there is rich then there is poor.

  • yeah till they build robot that can build robot on their on, and that these robot can build robot that go to work for everyone..

  • I never thought this great nation would have a Marxist president pushing a socialist agenda.

    Yet we do.

  • he speaks, yet nothing happens, but at least he isnt bush

  • Look he's pandering his Muslim socialist clean energy death panel, SPEAK THE TRUTH!!!!!! I want to see a birth certificate........ LULZ :D

    conservatives are funny :P

  • clean energies?? lolz

    look who buys out the patents on clean energy inventions!! petro companies own the patents on many hybrid and electric vehicle batteries. so if they own the patents, and they're making billions because they're selling petroleum, what incentive do they have to move industries towards clean energy??

    this is a joke. obama is still reading from a teleprompter, and he doesn't write his own speeches. nor does he make up his own mind on anything. oligarchs do.

  • If you want the nation to worry about clean energy you should be an electrical engineer or something, not President... Re Read the constitution Barry

  • jbear3333: The constitution is flawed to him. Remember?

  • too bad america wont be that nation. America had its time no empire lasts more then 1000 years anyways and usually its about 500. Its time for a new empire to raise

  • I just fear it's China that's next, when there's not even anything closely resembling a democracy there.

  • are you aware that you posses a psychic ability. It will be china. Its what i always thought. Dont worry about democracy however during raise countries have great abilities to transform. China is already heading in the right direction. If they will not allow free market they will not be on top. And if they allow free market all will fallow, hopefully. Whats great about history that its always in the making :)

  • Haha, well Russia has already failed, USA is declining, South America is far behind in diplomacy and technology, EU has already stated there is no interest in becoming a superpower and that just leaves China.

    As for the free market, you are basically right. But what is important is to keep the people happy. Singapore is a dictatorship with a blossoming market - they just keep their people satisfied (for instance they have the lowest rate of crime anywhere).

  • Countries do fall and raise. Germany wasnt a great power once. So process of elimination doesnt work to determine who is going to be next empire. China simply produces china also owns USA. China also tasted communism and remembers it very well as other countries forgot it already. Like Europe is becoming more and more socialistic so is USA. Africa has unstable war-grounds where no business can raise. Middle east has backwards mentality.

  • China is still a communist country, and European countries are turning more and more right-wing (sadly).

    As for the USA, I hope you understand that's the most right-wing country on this planet. Obama is simply trying to bring it back to a sustainable middle.

  • Is he, how?

  • Through social securities, diplomacy and legislations.

  • Such as? The only legislation ive heard of from him is one which will allows indefinate detention... can you say nazi?

  • china cannot be called communist country because it has free markets. China is still a socialistic country. However Europe is going Socialistic and so is USA. (getting certain things from corporatist market. like bailouts)

  • PR of China is under the rule of a communist dictatorship. Although it has now got a mixed economy, it is still a communist state.

    As for Europe, many states here are going toward the right-wing political spectrum, not left.

  • Are you aware that EU is socialistic? Which country exactly are you referring too. When something is mixed economy its no longer communism mixed economy is either corporatism or socialism. (there is no pure capitalistic economies however if a mixed economy is near capitalism people call it capitalism)

  • You can't deny a communist party is ruling the PR of China.

    As for the politics in Europe, compared to the far-right USA we are socialistic. Many countries here are moving toward the right-wing spectrum (in some cases even extreme-right, i.e. BNP, SD, etc). I suspect this is largely because of the massive immigration we've had from Iraq, Afghanistan and numerous African countries.

  • I can easily deny it.That name CPC is 100year old and any1 who knows Marx's work knows that real communism never existed.Leninism,stalinism,bol­shevism,maoism,none of it is marxist,not even close

  • So you think if a political party doesn't follow the words of of the person who first theorised about the political system to the letter, they do not belong to that system? Aren't you going into semantics now?

    And you need to understand, the ruling party in the PR of China is communist, as is their ideology. They have however introduced "Special Economic Zones" free from the state-control to stimulate growth.

    It is still a communist nation in spite of these zones.

  • btw i dont like the word left and right and liberal and conservative. They are mixing economic ideas with political ideas. It is very easy to see how misleading it is once we know there are 2 ways to be liberal and 2 ways to be conservative. This makes it all very confusing. For example i am very liberal when it comes to social rights i am pro gay marriage and abortion, but im conservative when it comes to economics. I dont want ANY redistribution of wealth

  • So you would rather have your whole pay-check instead of letting a minor part of your pay go to let everyone (including you and your children) be able to get a free education, to get hospital care when in need, to be protected by police and fire-fighters and to let the few people that get sick and unable to work to be able to live a decent life?

    Sounds extremely egoistic to me, if that's the case.

  • Actually the point i was making is that vocabulary is flawed. If this is just a random fluke or is it social engineering done by politicians over the years i cannot be sure. ANd yes it does sound a little bit harsh doesnt it? Why would i choose to be such a bastard if i can have all those things for free and help out other people as well. Does you ever stop to wonder? what do you honestly think??

  • Considering you said you "don't want ANY redistribution of wealth", I can only assume you haven't thought your political views through completely.

  • in fact you might just be correct. If i truly didnt want ANY redistribution that would make me an anarchist. Which im not. I want wealth to be taken from people for police and military. But why do you think that i would not want there to be redistribution beyond that? Simply the same reason just didnt think about it?

  • Actually, if you didn't want any financial redistribution, it would make you a heartless capitalist. Anarchists simply don't want any laws.

    As for the rest of your message, it's not making a whole lot of sense. Could it be because you couldn't afford an education?

  • ok. so you believe capitalists are heartless, but why do you think they choose to be that way? ... Also Dont you think taking money from people and using it for military is redistribution of money? so if there is police and military there is redistribution of money. Taken from citizens and payed for military/police. That would be redistribution wouldnt it?

  • Redistribution is needed for scientific advancement. Also, our society's power must be in the hands of those wise enough to make good decisions. If everybody shared the wealth equally, how could anybody pay for billion dollar science programs? HOw could anybody agree on the purchase of a millitary to defend ourselves? No, I propose that the top 10% of society should have most of the money and there should be rules that avoid abuse.

  • sorry could you make it a bit more obvious what you mean. Are you for or against redistribution of money? (Btw if everybody shared the wealth equally does require redistribution of wealth by government)

  • the most wealthy %1 in the world arent spending money on health breakthroughts.. they are spending it on their own advancement and influence.

  • I didn't say that. Obviously you fail to understand even the simpler things I write.

    And yes, using taxes to fund military defences and law enforcement is a financial redistribution. In the same way it would be wise to fund health care and education for everyone.

  • Yes and it is impossible to have redistribution of money without government. So in order to not want ANY redistribution i would have to be an anarchist. (it all depends what is meant by redistribution) (also anarchists dont want any government they might actually want laws look up anarchy) That was digression can u say why someone would be as you call it heartless capitalist? what are the reasons for it?

  • Wow, you're clearly not the brightest bulb...

    Having no taxes in not the same as having no government. You can't just observe a characteristic and assume the opposite is equally true. In other words, not wanting any taxes simply means you are an extreme capitalist. If you say you want no government at all, you'd be an anarchist.

    A person who wants as much money as possible for oneself, with no concern for other people and society as a whole, is in my opinion heartless and a capitalist.

  • thank you for the unnecessary but quite uplifting complements :). In a case of no government who would collect the taxes? Do you call donations taxes as well? Would anybody enforce the taxes?

  • And again you fail to see the point.

    If there's no government there's no laws, including tax laws. If there's no taxes, there can still be a government though.

  • actually there still can be laws just noone to enforce the laws. If there are no taxes there can be government however who pays for the government?? It must be voluntary and then the government doesnt have any power to do anything. This renders the government useless just like it wasnt there in the first place

  • What's a law if it isn't enforced in some way? Would you say you have Sharia law in the USA, it's just that nobody enforcing it?

    As for the government-without-taxes, you have to think outside the box. It can either be a government set in place by major corporations, or the government could work like a stock registered association, with votes placed according to % of the government owned.

    Or perhaps a voluntary organisation, like so many other organisations out there?

    None would work.

  • in fact this is exactly why anarchy cannot work. Because governments do form by themselves. However if government is formed by one group it causes elitism to kick in. This group does not care for other groups. Simply put organized crime rules the country. voluntary organization will always be smaller then a private army so that kind wont work. This means government would actually be harmful not helpful.

  • that would be a good thing....

    i can only imagine... we would not have had the housing crisis, caused by government policy, leading to the greatest economic calamity in US history. We would not have failed the people of New Orleans, who were counting on government help. we wouldn't have government employees listening into conversations of couples having phone sex (no lie), etc

  • corruption in the government is leading to the same thing... People are willingly giving up their rights. There is socialism and corporatism. Police state is a real possibility as power of individuals with technology increases. We need to limit the government it wont limit itself.

  • And who elected the incompetent government?

    The ultimate blame falls on the majority of voters.

  • The ad hominems need to stop man. You're arguing semantics of anarchy while insulting, meanwhile you have no idea why this guy is economically conservative. Do you think people are that stupid, that they would 'decline good healthcare and education for all' for NO reason? I personally have heard very compelling arguments against socialist economics, try LISTENING. Personally I am economically socialist, but recognize that my idealism doesn't trump other rational views. So just discuss, not cuss.

  • I'm not using ad hominems - my insult remain quite separate from my argument. And for that sake, his converse errors need to stop.

    And yes, I do believe people can be that stupid. For the very same reason people can strap bombs to themselves and blow others people up because they want to go to paradise, or people can start huge wars over something as primitive as oil.

    As far as 'other rational views' goes, I haven't yet heard any good reasoning from the opposition.

  • God forbid you spit a piece of gum out in anything but a trash can though. As admirable as its statistics are, I would highly consider what price is being paid in terms of not being fully responsible for the world you live in, i.e. a democracy of some kind or at least have some say and contribution in your nation's worldly affairs.

  • yeah and Iran

    lol

  • Grow scarcer? That was a crappy choice of words, specially from a guy that graduated from Yale. How about dwindling?

  • Well, you have to take into consideration who his audience is, they may not be as smart. ;D

  • the English language is constantly evolving.

    "grow" has become a synonym for "become"

  • ok the bail out wus jus to build a ark under the peoples eyes ,for the rich and educated to survive 2012 ,,hope i dont get shot for this ,cus their all full of shit ,,fact gov has tec thats at least 50 years ahead ,but look at r history ,,we destroy everything .we want all and ignore the shit and cost ,drunk and dum down

  • what you going to say when 2012 comes and nothing happens

  • kyoto protocol ratification NOW or this is bullshit.

  • Um did he just say GLOBAL ECONOMY ? ? ? This fucking guy... All these fucking presidents, especially this one blows so much smoke out of his ass its sick.

    The "ONLY" people in THIS country racing for clean, free energy are the engineers and hobbyists in their garages. The government and big corps aren't cause they can't profit from it.

    Fuck I hate political psycho babble.

  • self-centered bastard.

  • the usa is now running on the soles of thoses they tourture ,,,obama the NAZI , in full flight

  • peaceful competition?

  • Isn't that a form of an oxymoron? Typical speech BS?

  • friendly competition, one not comprised of a zero-sum scenario, comes to mind.

  • people have been talking about a one world government for decades now. im still waiting. i just want to see it happen so they can finally say i told you so.

  • And in what speech did he declare that he's going to lead the world into a single government? You're a nutjob.

  • Oh, for fuck's sake. Esoteric agenda, nwo, waking up...

    just quit bitching with nonsense and enroll in an education institution. Believe me, it helps.

  • Critically think about everything that is being forced apon us.

    You know how the federal reserve works and how the world is controlled by money and greed. I'm sure you know our money isn't worth the paper its printed on. I don't really care about NWO because once you see what they are planning you can prepare for it. I suggest you prepare. You can take your swine flu shot and continue believing the rich of the world give a shit about you. History does repeat itself.

  • Oh OH! Somebody has seen too much zietgiest. You do realise there are other forms of wealth other than cash? You do know the diffrence between defensive assets and growth assets? You do realise that not everything is traded in cash?

    Bonds, Stocks, securities, property, foreign currency etc...

    What was portrayed in that "documentary" was an over simplification of just ONE asset type. Wilfully ignoring the other forms of income.

  • havn't seen zietgiest. By our money I ment the U.S dollar and the Fed. We use money created by a corporation that is not under control or regulated by the government. There are other forms of wealth but the world at the moment still basses its standard on the U.S dollar even though it does not hold the most value. And if the dollar is controlled and manipulated. This control and manipulation affects other forms of currency that is not seen as "standard"

  • Being valued to gold was a defensive asset, like bonds, property etc.

    But taking it away from that allowed cash to be a growth asset like shares and securities.

    This allowed for even NORMAL people to invest and grown money. But being a growth asset means it is volatile.

    But it isnt the ONLY defensive asset American has got.

    Keep inmind its still classed as a defensive asset but not as much as it once was. Cash is now a more flexible asset thats all!!

  • you mean enroll in a fabian socialist indoctrination center.

  • youre riding alex jones' cock too hard baby girl

  • Alex Jones is an NWO agent.

    Wake up sheeple!

  • NWO believers are unhinged sorry

  • You missed the irony, sheeple!

  • You mean gordon brown and kissinger? or maybe wells?

  • Are you talking about the politicians who are pushing a for a new world order or are you laughing at people warning of it, the only ones unhinged r the politicians....if you dont believe in an attempt by global elites to create a new world order then you have your head in the sand.

  • Know your unhinged because your paranoid.  Go the lizard people and the satanic Bilderberg group who is trying to chip us all. Honestly its insane!

  • Paranoiya means someone is unhinged wtf? I never mentioned anything conspiratorial either.
