ahh. but it's not pointless. it's to keep the money-go-round, going 'round. war costs money. or, to look at it from the corporate side, war is profitable. declaring wars on things like "drugs" or "terrorism" or "the enemies of freedom" is great. completely unquantifiable, never-to-be-won, could-be-anywhere catchall that allow you to impose ligislation on your own people, and bomb the fuck out of some others.
foremost i think the war in iraq was to do with oil, and the fact that if the "global currency" wasn't the "greenback" the american economoney would be gone tomorow, particularly true applied to trading oil.
(so instead of buying it off the camel jockeys with american $$, thus actually making both countrys and commoditys more valuable, they stage a 15 year land based occupation... neat.)
secondly, now that they're in afghani-land, it's about securing a heroin supply for the multi bajillion dollar psychopharmaceutical industry.
The foil hat brigade are convinced all this technology is being with held, by who? And how many generations are they going to hold this information before profiting from it? Are they waiting for the enemy to discover it first?
1 not neccesarily witheld, more, suppressed (is tin-hat belief) asides from the fact i have 0 faith in the americans to do anything right (see below about moon): they're waiting to be told how to do it.
1b the americans have a long history of supressing stuff
1c i read somewhere the other day about some guy who came up with a way to de-ionise nuclear waste. the american govenment (specifically five guys from CIA or something) saw it, then buried it.
(nuclear waste is good for making warheads)
2 there really is no "enemy" anymore. except people who hate freedom.
3 where is the profit, if everyone is "off grid"? if no-one is dependent on the international deals you (as a government) handshake/ go to war for, to get by?
again, there is no money in the cure.
the government do not support small, non-centralised projects, rather than putting solar panels on every roof (chch rebuild is ideal for an eco-city) they would rather run pylons from a powerstation. rather than putting rainwater tanks for catchment off gutters, they need hoo-ering big dams and pipelines to dose you with chlorine and fluoride. all requires infrastructure. all requires spending to keep it going.
it kinda follows the government model. rather than having everyone or every community making decisions for them selves, they need to be made at a central location and distributed to everywhere.
this is particularly evident in both north and southland (and the super-shitty - auckland) where local councils are being agglomerated, for whatever reason.
centralisation is not the answer.
Are they waiting for their own economy to collapse? If the US had technology for unlimited energy they would love to bring it out (just for themselves and close friends you understand) it would make all that silly black fluid under the deserts of Iran and Iraq completely worthless.
no. there's still some billions of cars, trucks, container ships, trains, aircraft etc (not to mention the american military apparatus) that run on the silly black stuff.
that won't change overnight.
they're probably waiting until the corporates can claim a patent on the technology, which is difficult when you're trying to patent stuff like magnetism, or gravity, or water (doesn't stop companies from trying - check out the water bottling companies in india)
it's okay though, they're going to keep stripping nutrients out of the food, up the levels of fluoride in the water supply, change the formula for the dietary supplements you will need, tweak your psychiatrists prescription, and hey presto: an impressionable / supressable population that will do nothing more than go to work, pay tax, watch tv and prop up the corporate elite.
o. wait on.
Iīm sure one day we will manage to extract energy from matter or room temperature superconductors - chances are it wont be done by a stoned old hippie in his basement playing around with some under table magnets a heathkit transmitter and a radio shack signal generator.
