The "rise" in gas prices is just another political illusion. The problem is fake money from the criminals called the Federal Reserve and their partners in crime, the people called the federal government.

This short film features people in Kenya who have seen the price of staples such as maize, beans and oil soar in the last two years. Many families are now getting by on only one meal a day. In the film, one woman says that she often misses her meals altogether so she can feed her children. Concern is responding to this crisis. In the Kerio Valley, we have successfully piloted a programme that uses mobile phone technology to give cash to the most vulnerable families so they can buy food. Marsabit and Kalacha we are working with partner agency Community Initiatives Facilitation and Assistance (Cifa) to help people manage the effects of drought.

We are entering the Peak Oil era. The growth of oil production is slowing, driving up oil and gasoline gas prices, firing inflation, driving unemployment, straining our global economy, and threatening to collapse our entire system. We are reaching Peak Oil and we are unprepared. Teacher Aaron Wissner, in a compact 10 minutes video summary, details Peak Oil, the evidence, the impacts, and the solutions. See the full one-hour video at LocalFuture.org. Also, at YouTube, see the conclusion, of that presentation, part 5 of 5, which highlights the impacts, underlying problem, and solutions to Peak Oil.

UPDATE: I have been working the bugs out of our hydrogen system on the Ford Escort. Just this last Thursday morning I finished making modifications and since then everything has been working well. The system automatically pumps water in and automatically drains water from the water trap while on the road. The car is running smoothly and has a lot of power. We will soon start building kits and will continue to test our designs. Recently, I had to ask myself what is gasoline? Gasoline is a blend of hydrocarbons C11H24 - C7H16. So, gasoline is just hydrogen with molecular bonds to carbon atoms and it produces about an equal amount of water as it burns. Hydrogen is clean burning because it does not have any carbon in it and it only produces water vapor when it burns. I have been concerned about the effects of water vapor on the engine and exhaust system however every hydrocarbon fuel that we burn already produces water vapor and unburned hydrocarbon emissions. So, I have stopped worrying and continue to drive 370 miles each week with the hydrogen generators turned on. I have also discovered that sugar has everything that we need to make gasoline and other hydrocarbons like propane C3H8, Butane C4H10, or hexane C6H12. Vinegar is C2H4O2 but remove the oxygen and you get C2H4 which is highly combustable Ethylene gas. It is all a chemistry problem with fantastic results that can power our cars when oil runs out. Well, that is the update. Thanks for watching my videos and keep watching for my next mad science experiment. Here is a way to beat the ever growing prices of fossil fuels.This video originates at: http://www.livevideo.com/byte312

BusinessRising Prices Beat Down Consumer SpendingRising Prices Beat Down Consumer SpendingThe Associated PressConsumer spending, after adjusting for inflation, fell in June as shoppers were hit with the biggest increase in prices in nearly three decades. (Aug. 4)Soaring prices on everything from gasoline to groceries are putting a squeeze on consumers wallets. The Commerce Department reported that consumer spending dipped by two-tenths of a percent in June as shoppers dealt with the biggest increase in prices since 1981. The jump in inflation ate up a part of the billions of dollars in stimulus payments delivered during the month. People were spending those checks, but much of that cash went to pay for higher prices at the pump and at supermarkets. The overall economy, meanwhile, as measured by the gross domestic product, grew at a 1.9 percent rate in the April-June quarter, more than double the nine-tenths of a percent increase in the previous quarter.Economists believe the $168 billion stimulus program will continue to lift the economy in the near term, but predict a significant slowdown in the final three months of this year and early next year. ___ ___, The Associated Press.(****END****)
