It helps if your claiming 'FREE,SAFE energy'. If you claim something like that you better have a working prototype or a couple titles before your name before I believe you.

Which seems more likely: Tesla was full of it; or, capitalism has failed us miserably, and flunked on delivering this miraculous energy.

stop contributing to the system. stop spending money. learn how to build for yourself. learn how to grow your own food. Learn about all the things we can eat. Wake people up and teach them how to change. have faith in your own abilities outside the system. These are things to think about and if you so chose, to work towards.

You think we can stop this death machine we call civilization? Hah! Take my advice, enjoy life which ever way you can while you still can. Don't spread the word, it will only make those people fell sad and helpless like we do. Ignorance is bliss.

I tried to fall back to sleep after I woke up. I couldn't sleep, turning a blind eye is not ignorance. If you can convince my that good people doing nothing to save what is under attack is ok... it may well save some of my relationships with people. You are welocome to try.

Large Scale Hydroelectric dams are a complete high modern myth, especially in rainforest ecosystems such as the Xingu River. Any increased sediment in the water (which could well occur due to logging and land clearing) would increase turbine friction and render the dam's shelflife uneconomically small. For a comparison see the Bakun Megaproject on the Rejang River, Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo.

It's all fucking religious people. Fucking theism is "always fucking up the planet." Remember that the EU is now mostly secular and atheist. You can't just blame Christians, you know Muslims and Zionists would do the same.

Fuck the concept of god. And FUCK DAMS.

XVX for life, R.A.S.H. 'til death.
