It may very well be that economic and ecological collapse
combined may bring about an event whereby energy
independence may be the only answer. Indeed, we are moving
into a higher reality of consciousness and in such a state will
be ready to look at alternatives to the state we are presently in.
I do not believe that "all is lost" -- we are in a state of
transformation/transition. It always appears darkest before
the dawn. And there will be a "new dawn" -- it is only a question
of when we "collectively" want it to appear.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
It's encouraging to learn from this first piece below that these
geeks meeting in Switzerland now have a major interest in "how to make
going green profitable".
This may open things up a bit for the New Energy Truth Movement
(NETM). After all, there's big so-called money to be made from modes
like Zero Point, Cold Fusion, etc. But the difficulty will be that the
geeks want to encourage only those modes which are centralized and thus
cause vast dependence on themselves, resulting in serf-like obedience
to them.
They emphatically don't want people to have all the energy they'll
ever need tucked into a small carrying case totally independent of the
grid system--which of course is the promise of Zero Point. The degree
of self-confidence which this would engender is quite threatening to
them. So the greed system is intimately linked with the grid system.
Would a brighter-than-average geek like George Soros be willing to
make scads of money within a context that leads to decentralization?
He's worth a try, but my hunch is that even he will be made a bit too
nervous about the prospect of an independent citizenry. He'd be
worried about what might happen to the general "investment climate" if
folks had a lot of confidence in themselves. He'd be right to worry
too. If folks had a lot of confidence in themselves, they'd start a
"transition of prime human attention from objects to states of mind",
which in turn of course would lead to an extremely poor general
investment climate.
+ + + + +
One of the things pimp/whore BBC omits in the second piece below
is that the greaseball US ambassador walked out of the Bolivian
Congress Monday immediately after Evo called for equal relations
between Bolivia and North America. Can you believe it? What's wrong
with equality? What Evo said specifically was that since Bolivians
need visas to visit North America, North Americans henceforth need
visas to visit Bolivia. The ambassadorial greaseball was so incensed
by this notion that "turn-about is fair play" that he stomped out! Can
you believe it?
It's not hard to believe, though, if we remember that he (Phillip
Goldberg) was appointed ambassador last October because he was regarded
by the Bush Junta as their most efficient guy at destroying
nation-states, at stomping on them so hard that they shatter into
necroregions. He smashed socialist Yugoslavia into capitalist
necroregions because Big Oil wanted to run a pipeline through that part
of the world within "secure circumstances".
So my sense is that the ambassador knew that he was going to walk
out before he knew anything at all about the contents of the speech.
On arriving at Congress he'd be handed a copy of the speech and he'd
skim it looking for the best "opening" for a walk-out. That Evo's
mild-mannered call for equality was his best opening is a sign of just
how friendly Evo's speech was.
The greaseball's goal was to provide maximum encouragement for the
bunch of excessively rich, extreme-right-wing Catholic fanatics whose
youths form brownshirt gangs to beat up indigenous people (after
replacing their sustainable system of agriculture centuries ago with
one that is doomed!) in the streets of Santa Cruz, the Bolivian
equivalent of Dallas or Miami. These fanatics are determined to use
whatever force is necessary to create necroregions (their insurrection
is called Autonomia) so they won't have to share any of their obscene
profits from natural gas and other transnational corporate hustles.
They don't want any of their excess money to trickle down to people who
through no fault of their own are hungry or sick and have no money at
all.
Federico Fuentes summarizes their scam this way: "The plan has
been to confuse the population, projecting an image of instability
domestically and internationally, coupled with calls for 'international
intervention' and stalling, by any means necessary, the 'Democratic and
Cultural Revolution' initiated by the massive election victory of Evo
Morales in December 2005". The US has around 40,000 troops just over
the border in Paraguay. The Autonomistas may choose to murder one of
their own top leaders so they can blame it on Evo and provide the
Amerikkkans with a seeming excuse to invade.
Yeah, the pimp/whore BBC doesn't want you to know about the
greaseball's walk-out because they don't want you to know that this is
one of the ways taxpayers' money is spent within the Anglo-Israeli-US
Axis. The greaseball was bloody paid to do that!!!
Another thing which the pimp/whore Fourth Reich media don't want
you to know is that in Bolivia the Catholic church is still so powerful
that it can get away with designating its school system as a
public--not a parochial!--one. In the lying BBC piece we are told that
"Mr Patzi had come under heavy criticism from the Roman Catholic Church
after proposing that religious education classes be replaced with
language classes in Bolivia's native tongues" but what actually
happened is that he proposed that Catholic education classes become
religious education classes to include Catholicism but no longer to be
solely so. The sinister archbishop in Santa Cruz responded to this by
saying Patzi was "trying to destroy the Church".
Yours for a transfer of prime human attention
from objects to states of mind,
Keith Lampe, Ro-Non-So-Te,
Ponderosa Pine
Transition Prez
PS: By the way, there is still so much male chauvinism in Bolivia
that in my particular Catholic-slave village the announcement of time
and place for this year's school registration is addressed not to the
children's parents but rather only to their fathers! Of course there's
a lot of link and overlap between male chauvinism and the Catholic
church.

Global Warming Key Issue at
Davos
POSTED: 0835 GMT (1635 HKT), January 24, 2007
DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) -- Concerns about global warming and resolving
the seemingly endless tensions in the Middle East are set to dominate
the agenda of the World Economic Forum's annual meeting this week, with
a lack of snow in the tiny mountain community a stark reminder of the
warm weather.
About 2,500 business and political leaders -- including musicians and
social activists Bono and Peter Gabriel -- begin meeting Wednesday for
the annual meeting of the minds to talk politics, economics and social
issues in an atmosphere aimed at finding long-term solutions instead of
quick fixes.
Global warming and security are the two dominant issues, according to
the Forum's organizers, and the lack of thick snow was a firm reminder
that climate change is a hot topic.
"We are getting huge demand from our members to place climate change
and issues of environmental security at the very heart of the program
of the World Economic Forum," said Dominic Waughray, head of
environmental initiatives for the WEF.
"The Forum has already been instrumental in getting business voices
heard at the very center of global decision-making on climate change,
but the program at this year's annual meeting shows just how crucial
business leaders believe these issues are and just how serious they are
in finding real solutions in partnership with governments and leading
NGOs."
There will be 17 sessions focusing on climate change, featuring topics
to help companies and governments navigate the legalities of
implementing policy changes aimed at curbing emissions and pollution
and how to make going green profitable.
Among the people scheduled to talk include U.S. Sen. John McCain, a
likely candidate for the Republican presidential nomination; Zhang
Xiaoqiang, vice chairman of China's National Development and Reform
Commission; and Montek Ahluwalia, deputy chairman of India's planning
commission.
A survey of participants by pollster Gallup International found that
twice the number of attendees from last year thought that environmental
protection should be a priority for world leaders.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose country is president of the
European Union and the Group of Eight, has said she would focus on
climate change in her address.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair told the Forum on its Web site that
"talks between leaders could help outline elements of a future
post-Kyoto climate framework that could then be agreed at the German
G8" meeting in June.
Blair, who raised the issue at Davos in 2005, is expected to focus on
it again.
The meeting is also to focus on securing global energy supplies,
including the development of more alternative fuels, particularly in
light of oil prices that surged in 2006 before settling in recent
weeks, supply disruptions from Russia and attacks on oil pipelines in
Iraq and Nigeria.
Another key issue is the ongoing conflict between Israel and the
Palestinians and securing the future of Iraq. Israeli Foreign Minister
Tzipi Livni and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas are among those
attending the event, while Jordanian King Abdullah II will speak about
the future of the Middle East.
Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Saniora will talk about how his country is
emerging from last summer's fighting between Israel and Hezbollah.
Iraqi Vice President Adil Abdul-Mahdi, Sunni Vice President Tariq al
Hashimi and Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Barham Saleh are scheduled to
talk about the challenges facing their country and whether the divide
between Sunnis and Shiites can be bridged in a bid to avoid further
bloodshed.
Security was tight around the city, with Swiss police, the military and
private contractors cordoning off access to the Congress Center, the
meeting's main venue.
Protests, by people critical of globalization and who claim that
corporate and big business favors profits over people, are expected to
be minimal. Critics have planned an action day for Jan. 27 in Davos and
a national demonstration in the city of Basel the same day.
Over the weekend, hundreds gathered in different Swiss cities to
demonstrate against the World Economic Forum with 300 rallying in St.
Gallen, 200 in Zurich and around 100 in Delsberg.
