Useful Thoughts and Actions Taken

I will be studying the business model of La Via Campesina trying to decipher its structure.  Having been to Brazil and knowing the culture makes me very skeptical when I study the issues.  The average Brazilian does not appear overly concerned with the environment or socialist / communist causes.   Thus I suspect a bunch of opportunistic white NJF’s are trying to proxy in as representatives of the global poor.   Truly unfortunate for the poor and a truly shabby way to treat our fellow humans. From their website: How was La Vía Campesina created? In May of 1993, the First Conference of La Read more…

A name like Emperor Club VIP. Wow. Is that packed with ego building conotations!  In the words of Borat verah nize.   Emperor Elliot had no cloths on.  Yuk. Eliot Spitzer poster child for New York secret police methods of public sector extortion has been caught in a honey trap.  Interesting coincidence.  Makes me think the system might be a little more than meets the eye.  Maybe a lesson in keeping a lower profile! He must have made some enemies by threatening criminal charges to get civil settlements.  And it is yet another example of the press’ love of liberal activistism. In Read more…

Ok you have been conned by Dmitriy Kovalivnich.  Could you please go here and leave a comment and tell everyone his new Ebay ID ???  -  Please do not be lazy.  I’m trying to make the case against ebay. Go here: http://www.amarketplaceofideas.com/ebay-paypal-quick-spin-international-payment-turn-around-scam.htm#comments  I just saw 14 hits from yesterdays log.  I think that means another round of ebay sellers has been conned. 

MMGW – Man Made Global Warming as a Social Phenomena is the best example of this. On a person to person level FUD mongering is symptomatic of White European Germanic Neurosis.  When used as a technique at higher levels such as government it is a method of gaining power and economic leverage. FUD allows you to get people to accept things they normally would not.

I contacted Susan Taisuo via Alibaba.  They refuse to send free samples.  Here are the good points and bad points of ordering 1- Language barrier is there but seemed to mostly get past that 2- They only accept SWIFT wire transfers in payment – that means there is 35 US dollar charge on top of any order to pay for the transfer.  This is a real problem.  Technical things rarely go exactly right and with the language barrier its a real problem.  They suggest Western Union but that’s almost as expensive. Also Western Union is not popular in the USA.  Almost everyone has PayPal Read more…

There are a couple of interesting anecdotal facts I’ve come across lately. 1- An aquaintance of mine is doing large load escort.  He said that he’s doing ALOT of large wind tower escort.  Huge business numbers going on.  Interesting in that I do not think any amount of government subsidy can build and sustain any sort of meaningful business.  In order for something to explode it has to be genuinely economical.  My source also reports that a wide variety of companies are involved in this industry now.  2- James J. Cramer mentioned on Mad Money that 10% of domestic steel production Read more…

Do you believe in the corn fairy?  I do.  What do you think is driving the cost of corn up so fast ?

Ever see tennis shoes over power lines?  I have several times and always wondered what the shit was up with that?  I always thought it in my naive white boy way it was just some kids having fun with old shoes.  In my defense that was only a fleeting thought and I figured there was something I did not know. Turns out its used by dope pushers to mark their place of business.  While I think drugs should be legal I will be the first person to tell you the people who ply the drug trade professionally are tacky sons a Read more…

If you read my back of the napkin on the envelop calculation about how much cellulosic ethanol we can produce in the USA using trash then you know that number is likely substantial. When this happens corn prices are going to fall. Cellulosic ethanol will be relatively cheap.  Look for forces outside and inside government to slap a significant tax on this. The reason?  Because they can.  There will be significant budget margin to do so.  Thus Oil industry and government will conspire to locate the price of ethanol at a price that supports petroleum pricing.  Likewise government thugs will in Read more…
