ARE WE REALLY FREE?

You may not think this subject has anything to do with our freedoms, but it does. This is about big government and big business restricting information. Freedom of speech and freedom of information.

Have you ever heard of the mythical carburetors that get 60 to 100 MPG? Many have and most engineers will say that it is physically impossible. Let me tell you my story first. Over 20 year ago I wrote an article about high mileage carbs and did a little research on my own. I eventually came in contact with a man in Alexandria, Virginia by name of Edgar Van House. He had been an auto mechanic since the 1940’s and did a lot of experimenting and tinkering with lawn mower engines.

We corresponded by letter for a number of months. He said he invented a carburetor that got 50 to 60 miles per gallon on big engines like a Chrysler 8 cylinder. Back in the 60’s or 70’s, these were big, gas guzzling engines. He went to work for a company that used various big trucks with big gasoline and diesel engines. He said he installed some of his carburetors on the company’s trucks and they worked great, getting unheard of MPG. He was fired for his effort.

He tried to market his carburetors locally and was constantly suppressed and harassed by the big oil companies. He finally sued Standard Oil and won the case, but he still couldn’t sell his carburetor for various reasons. Distributors and auto parts stores mysteriously didn’t want to talk to him! They had deep pockets. The last time I heard from him, he was going to make me up a carburetor for a big Chrysler I owned at the time. I didn’t hear from him for quite a while and had not received my carb, so I wrote him to ask where my carb was. He said he was contacted by the Toyota Motor Company in Japan and after some negotiations, he sold his carburetor to them for a million dollars. Edgar was happy, because he retired a wealthy man and I never heard from him or his carburetor again!
Are there really carburetors that get fantastic mileage? I’ll let you judge for yourself. You can got to these sites to get more information about the Pogue carburetor and other hi mileage carbs. Go to www.rexresearch.com/pogue/1pogue.html AND www.himacressearch.com/books/secrets.html.

Ever hear of a guy called called Mills Beam? Probably not. He developed a simple heat exchange carburetor back in 1920. He used the hot exhaust gases of an engine to vaporize the liquid gas being burned. He was able to double and triple the gas mileage of the cars he tested. He was offered a setlement and percentage fee for the rights to his device. Of course, no one ever head of the device again. The trail led to a major oil company, but could never be proved.
Using the same vaporization technology, John Gulley of Gratz, Kentucky could supposedly get 115 miles per gallon out of his 8 cylinder buick. Detroit interests bought it out in the 1950s.
Another advocate of vaporizing gasoline is Clayton J. Queries of Lucerne Valley, California. On July 2nd, 1974, Querles claimed that he could easily develop an engine which could run all day on a gallon of gas. He said he took a 10,000 mile trip across the country in his 1949 Buick for ten dollars worth of carbide.

I am not sure about all of these debates about whether these carbs work or not, but my question is "why doesn’t someone test these devices?" and I mean somebody legitimate. You can’t have the oil companies test these carburetors, because they will make sure the tests fail. It is obviously in their interest to make them fail.

More information will be coming in future issues. Need more details? Go to the United States Patent office website and check out this patent: U.S. PAT# 3913004. There are many patents for fuel economy at the patent office, but you have to know where to look. Many parts of the patents (drawings and details) are technical, but you’ll get the idea. Why would anybody spend the time and money to patent something that doesn’t work?

HOW TO DESTROY AMERICA!

Dick Lamm as the former Governor of Colorado. In thatcontext his thoughts are particularly poignant. Last week there was animmigration-overpopulation conference in Washington, DC, filled tocapacity by many of American's finest minds and leaders. A brilliant college professor named Victor Hansen Davis talked about his latestbook, "Mexifornia," explaining how immigration - both legal and illegal was destroying the entire state of California. He said it would march across the country until it destroyed all vestiges of The AmericanDream.
Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm stood up and gave a stunning speech on how to destroy America. The audience sat spellbound as he described eight methods for the destruction of theUnited States. He said, "If you believe that America is too smug, too self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy America. It is not that hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall and that 'An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.'"
1. "Here is how they do it," Lamm said: "Turn America into a bilingualor multi-lingual and bicultural country. History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual."The historical scholar Seymour Lipset put it this way: 'The histories of bilingual and bi-cultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy.' Canada, Belgium, Malaysia,Lebanon all face crises of national existence in which minorities pressfor autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided.Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons, and Corsicans."
2. Lamm went on: "Invent 'multiculturalism' and encourage immigrants to maintain their culture. I would make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal. That there are no cultural differences. I would makeit an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanationis out of bounds.
3. "We could make the United States an 'Hispanic Quebec' without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As BenjaminSchwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently: 'The apparent success ofour own multi ethnic and multicultural experiment might have been achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentrically and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together.'"
4. Lamm said, "I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with the salad bowl metaphor. It is important to ensure that we have various cultural subgroups living in America reinforcing their differences rather than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities."
5. "Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group the least educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated, undereducated,and antagonistic to our population. I would have this second underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high school."
6. " My fifth point for destroying America would be to get big foundations and business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of' Victimology.' I would get all minorities to think their lack of success was the fault of the majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority population."
7. "My sixth plan for America's downfall would include dual citizenship and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity over unity. I would stress differences rather than similarities. Diverse people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other - that is, when they are not killing each other.""A diverse, peaceful, or stable society is against most historical precedent. People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation together. Look at the ancient Greeks. The Greeks believed that they belonged to the same race; they possessed a common language and literature; and they worshipped the same gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic games. A common enemy Persia threatened their liberty. Yet all these bonds were not strong enough to over come two factors: local patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions. Greece fell. "E. Pluribus Unum" -- >From many, one. In that historical reality, if we put the emphasis on the 'pluribus' instead of the 'unum,' we can balkanize America as surely as Kosovo."
8. "Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits ~ make it taboo to talk about anything against the cult of 'diversity.' I would find aword similar to 'heretic' in the 16th century - that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like 'racist' or 'xenophobe' halt discussion and debate.""Having made America a bilingual/bicultural country, having established multi-culturist, having the large foundations fund the doctrine of 'Victimology,' I would next make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would develop a mantra: That because immigration has been good for America, it must always be good. I would make every individual immigrant symmetric and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of them."
9. In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow. Profound silence followed. Finally he said, "Lastly, I would censor Victor Hanson Davis's book Mexifornia. His book is dangerous. It exposesthe plan to destroy America. If you feel America deserves to be destroyed, don't read that book."

At the end of Lamm's speech there was no applause. A chilling fear quietly rose like an ominous cloud above every attendee at the conference. Every American in that room knew that everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding methodically, quietly, darkly, yet pervasively across the United States today. Every discussion is being suppressed. Over 100 languages are ripping the foundation of our educational system and national cohesiveness. Barbaric cultures that practice female genital mutilation are growing as we celebrate 'diversity.'American jobs are vanishing into the Third World as corporations create a Third World in America - take note of California and other states - todate, ten million illegal aliens and growing fast.
It is reminiscent ofGeorge Orwell's book "1984." In that story, three slogans are engraved in the Ministry of Truth building: "War is peace," "Freedom is slavery,"and "Ignorance is strength."As Governor Lamm, walked back to his seat, it dawned on everyone at the conference that our nation and the future of this great democracy is deeply in trouble and worsening fast. If we don't get this immigration monster stopped within three years, it will rage like a California wildfire
and destroy everything in its path, especially The American Dream. Both Democrats and Republicans are taking us down this same road to total destruction. The only difference between the methods used by the two parties is the rate of speed at which they take us there.

Federalist Papers 21st Century

Dear Congressman or Senator:

We are tired and weary of voting for you because every time we do, we lose more of our freedom. As an example, look at the following. You should be familiar with it because you swore to defend it.

BILL OF RIGHTS (Abridged)

Article I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

I looked hard at the above paragraph and I couldn’t find anything that says there should be a “wall of separation between church and state”. Did I miss something or did the lawyers place it somewhere else in the fine print.

It says Congress shall not abridge the freedom of speech. The Campaign Finance law says we can’t say anything about a Congressman or Senator 60 days before an election. Isn’t that what free speech was all about? The founding fathers wanted us to be able to talk about the rascals.

Article IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Along comes the Patriot Act. I didn’t see anything in Article 4 that says the Government can come into my house without my permission and without me knowing and search my house, papers and effects. They don’t even have to tell me they were there. They can even take “stuff” if they like and they can call it evidence. Of course this is nothing new. There have been many instances the Government has done that and then never charge the person with a crime and never give them back their papers and effects.

Article V
No person……………… nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.

Along came the Kelo Case and you know what? Taxes and profit became more important than property rights. I know I didn’t type out the complete 5th amendment, but try as I might, I couldn’t find the words that private property could be confiscated for a shopping mall. You know what? There weren’t any shopping malls in 1796. That’s why the Founding Fathers didn’t put that clause in there.

Article X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Try as I might, I couldn’t find anything in the Constitution or Bill of Rights saying that the Federal Government had the right to run public schools. That right should be left to each individual State. Just look at the products of our schools controlled by the Federal Department of Education.

Why don’t you see us protesting in the streets? The reason is that we are working full time jobs. Some of us are working two jobs to make as much as we used to make with one job. We are paying taxes for those people running through the streets with Mexican flags and flying the American flag upside down. We are working to buy the products of those companies that hire illegal aliens.

We have nothing against legal aliens. Most of us had grandparents who came to this country legally!

On your watch Congressmen, we had our liberties and rights diminished. I am sorry, I see no reason to vote for you. Maybe someone else will help return what you’ve taken away from us.
