Great video. It's interesting how the new extreme pushes the old extreme to the center. Kinda reminds me of how, back in the day, Greenpeace was considered radial. Then someone moved the bar on 'radical' by starting a little group called Earth First....

AHHHHHH I may have herd this wrong on tv but didnt bp buy 30 someodd centerfuge machines form KevinCostner???Wher the H are they>& why arent they in use if they have them???????

The first three arrived this past weekend, 10 more will be there soon.

Kevin Costner cleanup device gets high marks from BP

Story and videos of Costner testifying on spill cleaning technology

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/ynews_ts2851

Yahoo News

It was treated as an oddball twist in the otherwise wrenching saga of the BP oil spill when Kevin Costner stepped forward to promote a device he said could work wonders in containing the spill's damage. But as Henry Fountain explains in the New York Times, the gadget in question — an oil-separating centrifuge — marks a major breakthrough in spill cleanup technology. And BP, after trial runs with the device, is ordering 32 more of the Costner-endorsed centrifuges to aid the Gulf cleanup.

The "Waterworld" actor has invested some $20 million and spent the past 15 years in developing the centrifuges. He helped found a manufacturing company, Ocean Therapy Solutions, to advance his brother's research in spill cleanup technology. In testimony before Congress this month, Costner walked through the device's operation—explaining how it spins oil-contaminated water at a rapid speed, so as to separate out the oil and capture it in a containment tank:"Doug Suttles was the first guy to step up in the oil industry," Costner said at the presser, "and I'm really happy to say when he ordered 32 machines, it's a signal to the world, to the industry, where we need to be."

Suttles said the additional machines will be used to build four new deep-water systems: on two barges and two 280-foot supply boats.
"We tested it in some of the toughest environments we could find, and actually what it's done — it's quite robust," Suttles said. "This is real technology with real science behind it, and it's passed all of those tests." He added that Costner's device has proved effective at processing 128,000 barrels of water a day, which "can make a real difference to our spill response efforts."

In his congressional testimony, Costner recounted his struggle to effectively market the centrifuge. He explained that although the machines are quite effective, they can still leave trace amounts of oil in the treated water that exceeds current environmental regulations. Because of that regulatory hurdle, he said, he had great difficulty getting oil industry giants interested without first having the approval of the federal government.

It's true, as Fountain notes in the Times, that innovation on spill technology has been hobbled in part by the reach of federal regulation — though Fountain also notes that oil companies have elected to devote comparatively little money for researching cleanup devices in the intensely competitive industry.

Costner said that after the device was patented in 1993, he sought to overcome oil-company jitters by offering to allow U.S. oil concerns to use it on a trial basis. He'd extended the same offer to the Japanese government in 1997, he said, but got no takers there either.

Brian Kilmeade Provides Fox News Entertainment By Embarrassing Himself


Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade has been embarrassing himself more than usual over the last few days on Fox & Friends. Yesterday, after news broke that the cap BP placed on its leaking oil well had to be removed because one of its robots bumped the well’s venting system, Kilmeade had some harsh words for the robot. “I’d love to talk to that robot that knocked…the top off the cap that was in the bottom of the Gulf yesterday,” Kilmeade said. “What was that robot thinking?” he asked in disgust.

Then today, as Media Matters notes, the Fox co-host had had this dim-witted question for President Obama:

KILMEADE: The President took a matter of hours to pick a commander in Afghanistan so why is it taking months to plug the leaking oil?

It’s unclear how Kilmeade believes that appointing an individual to lead the war in Afghanistan is comparable in difficulty to plugging an oil gusher in the Gulf of Mexico. Even Newt Gingrich found the comparison hard to swallow. “Is it fair to draw a correlation between the two?” co-host Gretchen Carlson asked. “No. No, no. The oil spill is more like the entire Afghan campaign,” Gingrich said.

To top it all off, on the Fox and Friends set this morning, Kilmeade played a little one-on-one with last night’s NBA draft top pick John Wall. After Wall dunked on Kilmeade and blocked his shots, Carlson had to show him how it’s done. Watch a compilation:








John Stewart's Response:


STEWART: The BP guys, or the robot. Kilmeade. Robots don’t think. They’re machines. They don’t cry. They don’t fall in love. They can’t be your girlfriend. They’re f***in’ robots. It’s like talking to your toaster. “This English muffin is burnt! Why toaster!? Why?!?! Why have you done this to my breakfast?” Fox and Friends, I don’t want to have to do this everyday.

Dear God, I have tried to give you the warnings, America. I love my country, it pains me so to see what's happening. Look at my previous posts to understand... they will be disarming America next, you lost your Internet privledges yesterday... forced vaccines with the "mark of the beast", no exceptions - see Lindsey Willams video In DVD 8, He talks about how we are being 'marked' with 'chips' by the vaccines, that the chips are put in the needles and are 'nano' in size. That the health care bill is about total government takeover, to read the fine print.

'that the fall of America would begin by an internal revolution started by the 'Communists'. Some of the people will start fighting against the government. The government will be busy with internal problems. Then from the oceans Russia, Cuba, Nicarauga, Central America, Mexico, and two other countries will attack and defeat America within one hour. Revelation 18, Jeremiah 50-51, other verses in the Bible will be fulfilled." ('The Elite' are behind this making the Bible versus come true.)

Hurry, ask questions, time is running short! America is committing suicide, that is an indirectly American funded company behind this, and posioning the waters, she must be stopped soon to preserve the world's waters. Russia is sitting in Cuba drilling oil, Cuba will not allow oil to come on her shores. Store water and food, they have a moral code to tell us what they are going to do, before they do it, it's ok to share this information.

me in this color


Aj......this nicely fits with the 'diversity of ideas' discussion that has been going on......

Kam, the sky is not falling and the sun will rise in the morning. You're preaching is beginning to sound rather hokey, for lack of a better word. Do you really think all this, or are you under some influence? The Maya did not say the it will be the end of the world, only the end of a cycle.

Oh, THAT would explain the SCOTUS decision striking down the Chicago handgun ban and expanding the right to purchase, own and carry a handgun? So, by making it easier to get a handgun Americans are going to be disarmed?

Okay, I didn't really take this when you last posted it so now I'm going to since you have twice repeated the same myth. Since you are going to throw around the term "nano" because it's unfamiliar to most of the people reading this, I'll have to explain what it is you're saying and why what you are saying is not currently possible.

Nano refers to nanometer (British nanometre). It is 1 billionth of a meter. This is extremely small. How small?

Going from smallest to largest:

Single carbon nanotube--1nm
A cell membrane is 6 - 10 nm in width.
HIV virus is about 90 nm across.
The wavelength of violet light is between 380 and 435 nm.
Red light is between 625 and 749 nm
A red blood cell is 1 micron across
A human hair is 100 microns across

So what you are saying is that we are, currently, capable of building electronic chips capable of sending out some kind of EMF signal (if you can't send a signal, what's the point of the chip) that are 1000 times SMALLER than a human hair! Really? And who won the Nobel Prize in Physics for inventing this technology because if such a chip exists then that person DEFINITELY deserves a Nobel prize. Kam, the smallest chip currently possible is 2.5 nm across. It is a logic gate so it has no power source or anything to make it freestanding. You are claiming that we have built a chip that is self-powered and and is so small that you need an electron microscope to even see it! You are also claiming that these chips are being put into vaccines and that these chips are capable of sending out EMF waves. What you are claiming is NOT technologically possible using current technology. Not. Possible. In another quarter century, if everything goes right, we MIGHT be able to build a self-contained chip that is only a nanometer or so across but we cannot do so now.

What's more, any signal that is small enough to be broadcast by such a chip would be so energetic that the person with such a chip implanted would be in VERY big trouble VERY quickly. Because we are talking about wavelengths on the alpha-particle scale. Nothing in a frequency used for communications is strong enough to make it out of the human body broadcast from such a chip and anything strong enough to do so would cause such immediate tissue damage as to be obvious within minutes of being introduced to the human body. This is for reasons having to do with quantum effects that I'm not going to get into here because it's just TOO arcane and technical. Suffice to say that the major problem here is that the wavelength of the signal is larger than the transmitter of the signal by a couple of orders of magnitude. In order for this chip to do send-receive (and if it is a tracking chip it needs to be able to do bidirectional) the *inbound* waves would have to be smaller than a nanometer otherwise the object will be invisible to the wave (the object will sit in the trough of the wave). The only candidates are X-rays and gamma rays. To imagine how ludicrous Kam's suggestion is. Imagine putting two objects in a stream of running water. One is a pebble and one is a rock--large enough to take effort to lift but still liftable, if only briefly, by a single adult. The pebble is so small that the waves will pass over the rock without being disturbed unless the waves are VERY energetic (short wavelength). The calmer (longer wavelength) the wave the more invisible the pebble. The rock, on the other hand will disturb the water with both energetic and low-energy waves because it is larger. What Kam is saying is that radio waves or microwaves (which are what are typically used for communications) can be used to send-receive with these nanochips even though the nanochips are pebbles in a stream of very low-energy waves. This violates a *fundamental* principle of electromagnetism.

So what you are saying is that in vaccines there are devices, living in non-vacuum conditions, that send-receive on the X-ray or gamma wave part of the EMF spectrum and which are *undetectable* even though they are pumping out highly energetic photons that do things like cause tissue damage, etc. (The reason why we use X-rays to peer inside of your body is that they are energetic enough to get past the skin. The reason why we dont' use gamma rays for the same purpose is that gamma rays are SO energetic that they start to cause serious problems with DNA breaking immediately. Kam is saying that people are being implanted with devices that have no other option than to use rays in that energy range.)

This violates so many *different* areas of basic physics and chemistry that I don't even know how to capture them all in anything less than book length.

Folks, what Kam is suggesting vis a vis the chips in vaccines is impossible at current technology and some of what is being suggested is impossible with ANY level of technology. IMPOSSIBLE. Like violation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics impossible. Perpetual motion machine impossible. Your broken glass spontaneously reassembling itself impossible. Your flat tire spontaneously reinflating impossible. Some of what Kam is suggesting is even less possible than THAT.

I don't have much to say about this oil spill.I do know I will be paying 10 dollars a gallon at the pumps soon,we all will.But hey,life goes on.

Aj

Maybe this 'mark of the beast/666/nanochip' stuff is derived from those microchips planted in dogs and cats that contain contact info and maybe some medical info melded with all that info on your drivers license.....shrug

I wish gas would skyrocket to 10 bucks a gallon........maybe we would get a low to moderate priced, non to very little fossil fuel powered car within 5 years........

J suggested as much the first time this came up on the Breaking News thread. If that's the case then Kam has the not-inconsiderable task of explaining how microchip can A) be hidden in a vaccine and B) be inserted using a needle when the chip is larger than the circumference of the needle. I hate needles T, there is no way that anyone would sneak bupkis past me in a needle. I hate needles so much that if someone came up to me and said "I have this drug, if you take it you will immediately achieve Buddha consciousness, let me just stick this needle in your arm." I would respond "sorry, you lost me at needle in your arm".

I am at a complete loss at how to even begin answering this stuff--in part because there's so damn much of it ranging all over hells' half-acre.

:seeingstars:

I doubt this. If the spill were going to affect pump prices, it would have already. Funny, though, time after time the companies all raise prices because one of them has some negative event at a refinery. To me, this pretty much proves what a *cough bullshit cough* excuse that is, and gives me further reason to wonder why the only people in this entire country who don't see the lies and collusion are our elected representatives who investigate this stuff. I know exactly why, actually, it just frustrates me to no end.
Why bother? It's like the tons of spam email that we all get, bogus crap that belongs in the computer trash bin.

Because you and I both know that the minute this stuff sits there without challenge it will gain credibility of the "well, it could be true and since no one has said anything to the contrary, maybe it is true. Oh my god, the chips that are being inserted into vaccines are causing autism!" We've seen it before. You're absolutely right these rantings are a species of spam but the only filtering we can do in this venue is to counter the bad information with good information that points out just how truly laughable these ideas are.

Cheers
Aj

This is high on the list of reasons why I adore you so....
