It is a great way for Gov to control server data and websites. Most people will want to remain independent, but will eventually get sucked into the cloud. -Just when people were getting independent from Windows --> they get sucked back in !!

If this car was a Toyota (Prius) and this was the U.S. she would be asking for buku dollar now. But in Japan it is just an accident/crime.

The warrant is a joke with little documentation. Fighting the CIA in Libya is not a crime.

-was looking for some humor, but not any. With the TSA scanners/groping people are more tense when flying.

Looks fair to me. =This is a stretched Fit -What do people expect. 70mpg in a larger vehicle is the selling point.

Being an anti-Lib -I am generally against eugenics.
-I have never seen a human being sold into death for ¥50,000 before. We are entering into an age of civilization that I have not seen before in my lifetime. People that are giving excuses for this practice should not be encouraged.

I like this guy and just getting rid of the IRS would help save hundreds of billions, +finally corporations would start paying taxes like they historically did. He also has business experience unlike 99% of the typical career politicians.
Cut the private Federal Reserve, CIA-al Qaeda, offshoring of money, these ObamaWars/military contractors and America will be on track soon.

=People are positioning themselves for the next Presidential (puppet) election. =McCain wants to make sure his name is in the hat and on the American public's minds.
-meanwhile the value of the dollar keeps falling and more people exchange fiat for silver /gold or other "real" commodities (little media on this).
It is really a disease that the media promotes, but the attacks on humanity (Libya) are real. Sad -and you will not get "real change" until the system can correct itself. -May take a total collapse.

It made me sick seeing McCain and the media promoting the CIA/al-Qaida terrorists in Libya. I know "NATO" plans on invading Libya soon with many marine ground troops, but I don't think this sort of media propaganda is needed and will eventually backfire on the Globalists.
-The selling of this "War" when all these families are being slaughtered is inhumane in my eyes. =Please do not support these Liberals/Globalists on this front against humanity in Libya.

Really this is what the Military should be used for instead of attacking Libya, Afghanistan, Pakistan etc. People and the media should be encouraging the humanitarian efforts of the military at all times instead of war efforts. =Always encourage +behavior.
I didn't like the "stand-down" on radiation monitoring after the disaster. The military could have used the radiation monitors to help the populace immensely.

The more you take the energy control away from the Gov and the more citizens take control of their own energy issues --> the better off Japan will be.
Look into buying some Sharp panels. Buy one, implement it into your life and research what these can do for you. Then buy another.
Walking and riding a bike help also.
Posted in: What's your stance on countries using nuclear power for their energy needs? Are there realistic alternatives and if so, what is the most efficient way to phase out nuclear power? Or is it here to stay?

When you run a company it is a everyday 100% thing (a family-a life) -when you try to make it a 50% thing in your life that is when you fail. Consulting is more of a 50% option -you really don't have skin in the game.
=At a time of crisis you as a consultant are sort of a 3rd option relief pitcher. =You are expected to try to make that save when the situation maybe dire. You true solutions maybe your associations and not your production (your knowledge of association maybe helpful as a knowledge data bridge to others).
It is upsetting to me to see words like fear, anger, aggressive, harassment and physical threats. -These are not productive or even helpful words.
I would bring these people in -comfort them in a time of need and get them solutions and connections on a weekly if not daily consultation. This is a battle you must win and I would look at getting some skin in the games also. =You need to actually own a business and be intertwined with others (consulting is not enough). --> do the internet/web, advertising. hiring, payments or something other for these companies --> consulting by itself is rather meaningless.
=In many ways your article makes little sense to me and doesn't provide many solutions. =unproductive at a time when people may be uncertain or even have need. -And like you I do feel it will be getting worse in the future. =People should be positioning themselves for this now.

In a time of crisis, the concept of now if very important --> past is not so important. You should also never encourage negative behavior (always encourage the positive)
For me the picture is odd because the crown is visiting someone at a time of little. =This family has made a home out tables covered with blue paper and a soft mat. Meeting someone at a time like this is difficult for both parties. =Most people do not expect visits like this --> especially from the Royal Family.

Gov wants this shutdown to show the populace they have control over the slaves. -Expect those public parks for the Cherry Blossom Festival to be shut down for "insurance/security reasons"
=even if you are a non-paid volunteer you should be getting a letter in the mail saying to support this shutdown and not show up (your activity is covered by Gov insurance). The letters are already in the mail so you should expect this shutdown to happen. =Plan your activities around this especially if in the Washington area.

At a time when people are forced into uncertainty due to no fault of their own it is nice to know that some things remain certain. I would only wish that the CEO of Tepco would put himself on the frontline like the Crown has.

How is it possible for Obama todo more damage in 2yrs than GW had done in 8. -Even Zimbabwe doesn't decay at this rate. =People need to stop voting for these globalists and their fiat terrorist banker backers.

If you goto wikipedia and search "Fukushima 1 Nuclear Accidents" you can get a timeline of the accidents and solutions they tried.
=external generators were brought in and some of the generators were brought back online. You must remember that all 6 generators got knocked out by water and battery back-up power was only good for 8 hours. 200MW-300MW (x6) reactors have large cooling/electrical needs.

For Generators: you either have enough Wattage (kVA-3 phase) to run the equipment you need or not. This is Japan and generators/pumps/and conductive wire abound.
Radioactive capable pumps maybe a different story.
=we are not trying to split atoms here and any mechanical electrician or electrical engineer could have helped fix this. Many facilities have back-up generators that could have been used (businesses, hospitals, military etc)

Instead of the salt-water -I would like to know how come generators were not able to be replaced in 24hrs -and hopefully hours. Even boats could have beached and thru an electrical line out. Generators on trucks or flown in by helicopter.
People need to hold the Gov responsible as much as they hold the slaves responsible. =Right now it seems like the slaves are taking 90% responsibility while the Gov figures out which information (data) or lies to release. =People expect direction from the Government so the Gov uncertainty does not help much.

Radioactive iodine has a 1/2 life of 8 days = this means that this material gives off lots of radiation quickly for those first few days/weeks and it helps to protect yourself by having adequate body iodine (to keep radioactive iodine out).
