Michael Moore on Larry King - Automakers

It seems Michael Moore's 20 year old movie "Roger and Me" may have been prophetic...

Appearing on Larry King he has a mixed mind on the bailout of GM, Ford and Chrysler.

Expert:
------
King: And the same is true of Ford and Chrysler?

Moore: Absolutely. I'll tell you, it was hilarious just watching these CEOs there (Tuesday) and (Wednesday) testifying in Congress, saying that, you know, that the problem wasn't theirs, you know, the cars they were building. It was the financial situation that we're in now. Watch automakers get grilled on Capitol Hill »

The problem is the cars they've been building. They've never listened to the consumers. They've just gone about it their own wrong way. I'll tell you, you know, I'm of mixed mind about this bailout, Larry, because I don't think these companies, with these management people, should be given a dime, because that's just going to be money going up in smoke or off to other countries.

GM is currently building a $300 million factory in Russia right now to build SUVs, right outside of St. Petersburg. That's where your money's going to go, no matter what they say.

Big stings must be attached otherwise the poor management teams will just use the monies for the wrong things. Their track record speaks for itself...

We're All in This Together

We can point fingers. We can blame the "West". Others around the globe are pointing their fingers at the US.

If it was just the US or North America then others would be doing well, right?

Not so fast....



It turns out we are all in this together.

Bernie Mac Should Still Be Alive.

Bernie Mac Another Casualty of Conventional Medicine?
Excerpt from an article by Mike Adams (NaturalNews)

The number of famous people dying at the hands of conventional medical doctors is increasing at an alarming rate. Today comedian Bernie Mac (best known for appearing in Oceans Eleven and The Bernie Mac Show) died today following hospitalization and treatment for pneumonia. At the young age of 50, Bernie Mac joins numerous other notable celebrities who have died while being treated with conventional pharmaceuticals or chemotherapy: Heath Ledger, Peter Jennings, Tim Russert and many more.

Pneumonia is an infection that fails to be properly handled by the body's own immune system. Bernie Mac's immune system, it turns out, was suppressed by pharmaceuticals due to treatments for an autoimmune disorder he was previously diagnosed with, called sarcoidosis.

The most common treatments for sarcoidosis are dangerous steroids (like Prednisone) or immune system suppressants like Methotrexate. Following his treatment with one or both of these pharmaceuticals, Bernie Mac was described as having his sarcoidosis go into "remission." That's conventional medicine's code word for masking symptoms with dangerous chemicals while ignoring the underlying cause of the disease.

"Sarcoidosis," meanwhile, is just a fancy-sounding name for an imbalanced immune system almost always caused by dietary imbalances and exposure to toxic chemicals through processed foods, pharmaceuticals, personal care products and other environmental sources (like pesticides or cleaning solvents). Bernie Mac didn't really have sarcoidosis; he was merely given that label by doctors who attached a fancy name to a pattern of symptoms that Bernie Mac expressed. ....

Cars Running On Compressed Air!

I got excited when I read this. Then I really got excited when I saw the video. Both are great ideas and I really love the Aussie rotary version!

Imagine how we can change the level of pollution in cities and even travel long distances with this technology coupled with biodiesel or other fuels. If "air stations" where everywhere we could use nothing but air!

This video is less than 9 minutes long and well worth it. I plan on tracking this technology and will bring you any news I find out.
