ANOTHER FREE ENERGY BREAKTHROUGH - MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT

 MOST IMPORTANT BREAKTHROUGH IN HISTORY?

"The most astounding material object I've seen in my life!” 

“We intend to protect this system, get it tested, get it perfected, get it out to the public, terminate the need for gas and oil and coal and 100 billion dollar oil wars, and start an entirely new sustainable civilisation on this planet that is long overdue”

“In the thuggish world in which we now live people get murdered, people have been imprisoned, people have had these things bought out only to sit on the black shelf at major corporations which would use any means necessary to suppress this free-energy device.”

“What if the 100 billion dollars they’re planning on spending for their war was plunged into a full all-out effort to develop free energy for the benefit of humanity?”


Interviewed on George Noory's Coast to Coast radio program, Dr. Stephen Greer announced a working free-energy device which taps hundreds of watts of energy from the vacuum of space (zero point) and converts it to 110 AC current.  He thrilled listeners with the tale of having just gone to see the inventor to observe the device for himself.  He said you could pick it up in one hand.

 "This is the most astounding material object I've ever seen in my life.  And that's saying something."   He likened it to a "Holy Grail type of device."

The inventor's name is being withheld for his own security and protection.  In the thuggish world in which we now live there are quite a number of very powerful corporations which would use any means necessary to suppress this free-energy device.  In fact we are on the verge of mass slaughter in order to get more oil.

Dr. Greer said security was the reason why he wanted to make the announcement immediately, and to a very wide audience:
"The reason I’m speaking about this, at this very early stage of its discovery, is that the millions of people listening tonight are our protection.  Those of you who are listening to this should tell everyone they know that this is coming down the path.  It is our intention to protect this system, get it tested, get it perfected, get it out to the public and terminate the need for gas and oil and coal and start an entirely new sustainable civilization on this planet, that is long overdue.  It could have happened probably fifty years ago or more.  But it's now time for us to do it as a people.”

Greer has experience with gaining some security via wide public announcement in his other endeavour, "The Disclosure Project," which has been working to make the government disclose top-secret knowledge on free energy systems.  The secrets are held in the labyrinthine compartmentalised secret agencies and rogue military-industrial black projects.  He persuaded hundreds of ex-military officers to announce their readiness to testify, if given immunity by congress, about these secret things.  Propulsion systems, anti-gravity, reverse engineered spacecraft, and free energy.  Above all, free energy.  This rogue group has withheld from mankind all the abundance of Creation.

Greer wants everyone in on it from the start, so that if he turns up dead, or "suicided," or "disappeared" they can look at the obvious culprits.


DESCRIPTION OF DEVICE
"Let me describe what I saw, if you have a moment.
"It's not very big at all.  I picked it up - you can pick it up with one hand.  I took it out actually on a sidewalk. This device gathered, very passively, less than one watt of power from the environment - I won't say how it was done, I'm not allowed to at this point - and the machine started up.  It generated hundreds of watts of power in usable form.  We hooked this up ourselves, so there was no mystery about it.  We even selected the things to hook up to this thing.  It ran a 300-watt light bulb, a 100-watt light bulb, a stereo and an oscillating fan with an electric motor, all at the same time with literally no artificial manmade input of power.  So, this is of course an extraordinary scientific breakthrough.  The inventor certainly deserves to get the next Nobel prize, or the one that would be awarded after this is fully tested by the scientific community, if indeed what we see holds up.
"There were no hidden power sources.  And this is something obviously which could be put in every home, in every car and every industry, and would enable the world to leave the era of want and war, and enter an era of abundance and peace for as long as we want to create it. … We have heard of these things coming and going in the time of Tesla, in the time of Floyd Sweet, in the time of T. Henry Moray, and others, but to actually stand in the presence of a man who could build such a circuit and see it run was amazing.  If I had to go to my grave tomorrow, at least I would know that such a thing is possible, which shines an enormous ray of hope into the world of humanity as we apparently march off to the next oil war."

SPACE ENERGY ACCESS SYSTEMS (SEAS)  <seaspower.com>
SEAS will now rebuild the machine from scratch, a more robust model, which should only take a few months.
"It will then be tested by at least three independent government and university labs which we have already pre-selected for their honesty and cooperation, and when all those ducks are lined up and we are certain of what we have, it will then be massively disclosed to the world in what has to be regarded as one of the most important scientific announcements in our time.
"Well, this is why I'm talking to you.… I wanted to be very very clear that this information got out as soon as possible because I have to tell you that this is the sort of thing that people have unfortunately in the past been absorbed into operations where these technologies have been suppressed.  People have been murdered, people have been imprisoned, people have had these things bought out only to sit on the black shelf at a major corporation.”

MARCH IN THE STREETS FOR FREE ENERGY
"That is not a conspiracy theory.  We can prove in a court of law that this has happened over and over again.  And the reason we are moving quickly to let the world know that this exists is that the ultimate shield against that happening is two things:
Number one - my absolute assurance that I will take a bullet before I will let this be suppressed, and
Number two - there is no amount of money, you cannot put enough zeros after a one, to buy us out and keep this thing from getting out to the public.
"In addition to that, the public needs to understand if anything is to happen to this project that is a suppressive effort, that they should absolutely, if they have to, march in the streets to see that it is released again.  There is no time for this nonsense, where these sorts of inventions have been suppressed and where humanity has been left basically in a state of downward spiral of poverty and pollution and what have you.  We simply have to reverse that trend."

Asked how soon such devices could be rolling off the line Greer felt it could be as soon as 2004, but admitted it might take a couple years longer.  But whenever it happens all of humanity enters a new era, one with literally mind-boggling possibilities.

HOW IT WORKS
Greer explained the new-physics principles which allows such an inexhaustible abundance of free energy:
"As I understand it, if you look at the space around us - not outer space, just the space in the room where you're sitting -that space and the structure of space and the fundamental level at which matter and energy exists is fluxing out of some very potent field of energy.  That's in some type of homeostasis.  And what these technologies do is that they perturb the homeostasis enough to tap into that baseline energy or that energy that's in the quantum vacuum, some would call it, that's around us.  Matter and energy are fluxing in and out of this field and you can tap into it.  It's almost like pulling energy out of a reservoir of energy that's there all the time but isn't in a form that can actually be used.  What these systems do is tap into that energy and in the case of the device that we saw, actually converts it into usable, controlled energy on demand …
"There's such an enormous body of information on this.  There's a new book that Dr. Tom Bearden has put out that's almost encyclopaedic."
www.cheniere.org/books/efv/index.htm

"But our goal is to be able to do this at least in a generation one stable, usable system, certainly within a year to year and a half.  I would like to think sooner, but knowing how things happen in the world, I think it could very well be that long or a bit longer.  I would caution we don't want to take too much longer.  We are going to be very aggressively capitalising this, putting the funds into this, so that this can be done and we can collapse timeframes.
"Frankly, Tom Bearden and I were discussing this just before we were meeting the staff of the Senate Environment committee.  He said that if these new technologies don't begin to roll off of the conveyor belt like sausages by around the first quarter of 2004 - given the fact that the biosphere is being so strained, given the geopolitical tensions, we may simply just be out of time.  So, I think it's a stroke before midnight and we really need to make this project succeed."

This new device is now the second such venture moving quickly toward production within 2 or 3 years.  While our foolish and stupid and greedy leaders stand poised to murder tens of thousands of innocent people in a great oil piracy here stands a device to make oil obsolete.  Being oilmen, they don't want to even hear of such a thing.  Being stupid, their announced policy on energy is to get more oil out of the earth and burn it.  They advocate continued destruction of the atmosphere.  Being greedy, they will stop at nothing.

What if the 100 billion dollars they’re planning on spending for their war was plunged into a full all-out effort to develop free energy for the benefit of humanity?  Decentralise our power system, for security.  Non-polluting power, and a boon to all third world nations.  The atmosphere would gradually be cleansed, and everyone could breath fresh air.  Scalar healing systems, time-reversing the cells, would keep everyone healthy for very low cost.

I’m hoping to see some new signs popping up at the coming mass-demos which say "RELEASE FREE ENERGY SECRETS," or "WE WANT THE MEG," or "DISCLOSE SCALAR WEAPONS!"  In a way such a protest would be on a more fundamental level of things than a protest against a war, since disclosure of free energy would end all future oil wars forever!  Oil might become a dollar a barrel.  Gasoline would no longer be needed.  Nothing to fight over.

Greer imagines all electrical devices would someday contain their own power source.

"This type of power system eventually could be in every appliance so that every appliance wouldn't even need to be plugged in.  Eventually you could have construction so homes wouldn't even have wiring.  Every lamp and every appliance could have its own power source.  This thing is efficient and miniaturisable - so that you could do this and you would be able to have everything that is made have its own power source and it would completely change the way architecture and construction takes place”

With the advent of free energy the oil companies will topple, and release their terrifying and ruthless grip on our government and our human destiny.  Because I believe these new discoveries can make possible an earthly paradise we have only begun to imagine.  The oil corporations and energy cartels are not going to take this lightly.  But the whole world is now rising up against their war, for the theft of oil, and the world will rise up against their suppression of the truth about free energy.

HOW TO WIN AN ELECTION IN AMERICA // GUARANTEED
by Thom Hartmann


Halliburton?

Maybe Nebraska Republican Chuck Hagel honestly won two US Senate elections.
Maybe it's true that the citizens of Georgia simply decided that incumbent Democratic Senator Max Cleland, a wildly popular war veteran who lost three limbs in Vietnam, was, as his successful Republican challenger suggested in his campaign ads, too unpatriotic to remain in the Senate. 
Maybe George W. Bush, Alabama's new Republican governor Bob Riley, and a small but congressionally decisive handful of other long-shot Republican candidates really did win those states where conventional wisdom and straw polls showed them losing in the last few election cycles.
AND MAYBE, after a half-century of fine-tuning Exit Polling to such a science that it's now used to verify how clean elections are in Third World countries, it really did suddenly become inaccurate in the United States in the past six years and just won't work here anymore. 
Maybe it's just a coincidence that the sudden rise of inaccurate exit polls happened around the same time corporate-programmed, computer-controlled, modem-capable voting machines began recording and tabulating ballots.

But if any of this is true, there's not much of a paper trail from the voters' hand to prove it.

In an open democracy
- you'd think that the government - answerable to all its citizens rather than a handful of corporate officers and stockholders - would program, repair, and control the voting machines. 
- You'd think the computers that handle our cherished ballots would be open and their software and programming available for public scrutiny.
- You'd think there would be a paper trail of the vote, which could be followed and audited if a there was evidence of voting fraud or if exit polls disagreed with computerized vote counts.

You'd be wrong!

The respected Washington, DC publication The Hill has confirmed that former conservative radio talk-show host and now Republican U.S. Senator Chuck Hagel was the head of, and continues to own part interest in, the company that owns the company that installed, programmed, and largely ran the voting machines that were used by most of the citizens of Nebraska.
(www.thehill.com/news/012903/hagel.aspx)

Back when Hagel first ran there for the U.S. Senate in 1996, his company's computer-controlled voting machines showed he'd won stunning upsets in both the primaries and the general election.  The Washington Post (1/13/1997) said Hagel's "Senate victory against an incumbent Democratic governor was the major Republican upset in the November election."   According to Bev Harris of www.blackboxvoting.com, Hagel won virtually every demographic group, including many largely Black communities that had never before voted Republican.  Hagel was the first Republican in 24 years to win a Senate seat in Nebraska.

Six years later Hagel ran again, this time against Democrat Charlie Matulka in 2002, and won in a landslide.  As his hagel.senate.gov website says, Hagel "was re-elected to his second term in the United States Senate on November 5, 2002 with 83% of the vote. That represents the biggest political victory in the history of Nebraska."

What Hagel's website fails to disclose is that about 80% of those votes were counted by computer-controlled voting machines put in place by the company affiliated with Hagel.  Built by that company.  Programmed by that company.

"This is a bigger story than Watergate ever was," said Hagel's Democratic opponent in the 2002 Senate race, Charlie Matulka.  "They say Hagel shocked the world, but he didn't shock me."
www.lancastercountydemocrats.org/matulka.htm
Is Matulka the sore loser the Hagel campaign paints him as, or is he democracy's proverbial canary in the mineshaft?

In Georgia, Democratic incumbent and war-hero Max Cleland was defeated by Saxby Chambliss, who'd avoided service in Vietnam with a "medical deferment" but ran his campaign on the theme that he was more patriotic than Cleland.  While many in Georgia expected a big win by Cleland, the computerized voting machines said that Chambliss had won.  The BBC summed it up: "GEORGIA UPSET STUNS DEMOCRATS."  The BBC echoed the confusion of many Georgia voters when they wrote, "Mr. Cleland - an army veteran who lost three limbs in a grenade explosion during the Vietnam War - had long been considered 'untouchable' on questions of defence and national security."

Between them, Hagel and Chambliss' victories sealed Republican control of the Senate.  Odds are both won fair and square, the American way, using huge piles of corporate money to carpet-bomb voters with television advertising.  But either the appearance or the possibility of impropriety in an election casts a shadow over American democracy.

"The right of voting for representatives is the primary right by which all other rights are protected," wrote Thomas Paine over 200 years ago.  "To take away this right is to reduce a man to slavery."

That slavery, according to Hagel's last opponent Charlie Matulka, is at our doorstep.  "They can take over our country without firing a shot," Matulka said, "just by taking over our election systems."

TAKING OVER THE ELECTION SYSTEMS? 
IS THAT REALLY POSSIBLE IN THE USA?
Bev Harris has looked into the situation in depth and thinks Matulka may be on to something.  The company tied to Hagel even threatened her with legal action when she went public about his company having built the machines that counted his landslide votes.  (Her response was to put the law firm's threat letter on her website and send a press release to 4000 editors, inviting them to check it out. www.blackboxvoting.com/election-systems-software.html

"I suspect they're getting ready to do this all across all the states," Matulka said in a January 30, 2003 interview.  "God help us if Bush gets his touch screens all across the country," he added, "because they leave no paper trail.  These corporations are taking over America, and they just about have control of our voting machines."

In the meantime, exit-polling organizations have quietly gone out of business, and the news arms of the huge multinational corporations that own our networks are suggesting the days of exit polls are over.  Virtually none were reported in 2002, creating an odd and unsettling silence that caused unease for the many American voters who’d come to view exit polls as proof of the integrity of their election systems.

When Bev Harris and The Hill's Alexander Bolton pressed the Chief Counsel and Director of the Senate Ethics Committee, the man responsible for ensuring that FEC disclosures are complete, asking him why he'd not questioned Hagel's 1995, 1996, and 2001 failures to disclose the details of his ownership in the company that owned the voting machine company when he ran for the Senate, the Director reportedly met with Hagel's office on Friday, January 25, 2003 and Monday, January 27, 2003.  After the second meeting, on the afternoon of January 27th, the Director of the Senate Ethics Committee resigned his job!

Meanwhile, back in Nebraska, Charlie Matulka had requested a hand count of the vote in the election he lost to Hagel.  He just learned his request was denied because, he said, Nebraska has a just-passed law that prohibits government-employee election workers from looking at the ballots, even in a recount.  The only machines permitted to count votes in Nebraska, he said, are those made and programmed by the corporation formerly run by Hagel.

Matulka shared his news with me, then sighed loud and long on the phone, as if he were watching his children's future evaporate.

"If you want to win the election," he finally said, "just control the machines."

The Washington Warmongers are not doing very well
France, China, and Russia - all veto-wielding members of the Security Council - along with Germany are opposed to war, their spines strengthened by the massive peace demonstrations. As things look now, a veto may well be unnecessary because the United States will be hard-pressed to get the required 9 affirmative votes for war in the Council, as the three African members of the Council have already lined up with France.
In Italy, right-wing Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi - facing overwhelmingly anti-war public opinion, massive demonstrations, and the threat of a general strike from the nation's largest trade union federation - has declared that he wants Security Council authorisation.
In Spain, Prime Minister Jose Maria Anzar's party trails the Socialists in opinion polls for the first time in three years, and he too has now called for Security Council authorisation.
Most critically, Britain's Tony Blair faces a population heavily anti-war, the largest political demonstration in his country's history, and revolt in his own party.
The problem for the Bush administration is that without Security Council authorisation the United States may not have any significant allies, which in turn may make war politically infeasible. Polls still show a majority of Americans opposed to any unilateral U.S. attack. Despite determined police obstruction the turnout in New York City on February 15 was truly massive, and demonstrations nationwide showed the breadth of the opposition.
So Bush urgently needs a UN resolution and he needs it soon - too much delay will interfere with the Pentagon's timetable and allow opposition to grow even stronger.
[ZNet Commentary]

White House advisors looking for a "way out" of war
Some Bush Administration strategists are urging the President to look for an "exit strategy" on Iraq, warning the tough stance on war with the Arab country has left the country in a "no win" situation.
"At this point, the United States and Britain does not have the support for passage of a second UN resolution," admits a White House aide.
Republican leaders in both the House and Senate are also telling the President privately that he is losing support in Congress for a "go it alone war".
"The President's war plans are in trouble, there's no doubt about that," says an advisor to House Speaker Dennis J. Hastert.  "Some Republican members want a vote on military action, and some of those say they would, at this point, vote against such action."
Some White House advisors are urging the President to consider complying with the UN position or to look for other "face saving" ways to avoid war.  Though Bush is reported to be "hanging tough", his closest advisors are telling him such a move could be "disastrous" politically.
"The President has backed himself and the nation into a corner in a no win situation," says political scientist George Harleigh.  "World opinion is against him.  Public opinion polls show support eroding among Americans."
Republican campaign strategist Vern Wilson says he is advising his clients to "put some distance between themselves and the President". 
"When you have former military leaders questioning the wisdom of war, then you have Vietnam and Gulf War veterans marching against the war, when you have Republicans in Congress questioning the President's judgment, it tells me we could have a problem" .
