| | | | | King Corn - 1/4 | Link to part 2/4 below
Behind America’s dollar hamburgers and 72-ounce sodas is a key ingredient that more...quietly fuels our fast-food nation: corn. In KING CORN , recent college graduates Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis leave the east coast for rural Iowa, where they decide to grow an acre of the nation’s most powerful crop.
Alarmed by signs of America’s bulging waistlines, the filmmakers arrive in the Midwest enthusiastic about their new endeavor. For their farm-to-be, they choose a tiny town in Floyd, County, Iowa—a place that, coincidentally, both Ian and Curt’s great-grandfathers called home three generations ago. They lease an acre of land from a skeptical landlord, fill out a pile of paperwork to sign up for subsidies and discover the U.S. government will pay them 28 dollars for their acre. Ian and Curt start the spring by injecting ammonia fertilizer, which promises to increase crop production four-fold. Then it’s planting time.
With a rented high-tech tractor, they set 31,000 seeds in the ground in just 18 minutes. Their corn has also been genetically modified for another yield-increasing characteristic: herbicide resistance. When the seedlings sprout from Iowa’s black dirt, Ian and Curt apply a powerful herbicide to ensure that only their corn will thrive on their acre.
As Ian and Curt discover, almost everything Americans eat contains corn. High-fructose corn syrup, corn-fed meat, and corn-based processed foods are the staples of the modern diet. America’s record harvests of corn are supported by a government subsidy system that promotes corn production beyond all market demand. As Ian and Curt return to Iowa to watch their 10,000-pound harvest fill the combine’s hopper and make its way into America’s food, they realize their acre of land shouldn’t be planted in corn again—if they can help it.

| | |  | HR 6304 - A Bill to Abolish the 4th Amendment 
09:40
HR6304 - FISA AMENDMENTS ACT
On June 20, 2008 - 293 Representatives voted in favor to invalidate the 4th Amendment
But before they voted, this is more...what our leaders in Washington had to say about HR6304
AMENDMENT IV:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
"Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither."
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

| |  | Ron Paul on Iran and the Upcoming H.R 362 (unconstitutional and immoral)
05:53
Ron Paul sounds the alarm bells to the American People once again about the H.R 362...sanctions on Iran..the same sanctions they used to starve Iraq 10 more...years prior to the invasion. Personally i believe we are worried that our dollars is about to take a worst nose dive with the talk of OPEC not using the dollar to trade in oil. Which would mean game over for us. less

28:25
Link to part 1/2 below
A presentation of the water fuel cell technology developed by Stanley Meyer at the Safe Free Energy Conference at Einsiedeln, more...Switzerland in 1989.
Further information on water fuel cells and the repeated attempts to suppress the technology:
Google search for "water fuel cell"
Another specific resource of interest:
In the USA there have been innumerable cases - for example T.Henry Moray for pulling kilowatts out of the environment; Ed Gray for daring to have a power tube with an output power 100 times the input power; Tom Ogle for daring to build a 200 MPG vaporizer; and more recently, Bill Williams for running his truck on a Joe Cell; and Ken Rasmussen for developing a water-to-energy electrolysis process.
Australia, Japan, the UK and NZ have also had their share of suppression.
Now it's India's turn. Ravi Raju has attracted the attention of the suppressionists for trying to (successfully) replicate Dave Lawton's copy of Stanley Meyer's hydrogen fuelled engine.

|  | It Runs On Water 2/2
25:06
Link to part 1/2 below
At long last, this documentary puts across the clear message that "free energy" is on the way. In the opening stages Arthur C. more...Clarke explains how there are four stages in the way scientists react to the development of anything of a revolutionary nature. "Free energy" was now working its way through these four stages of reaction, which are:
a: "It's nonsense,"
b: "It is not important,"
c: "I always said it was a good idea," and
d: "I thought of it first."
The scene moves to Rome, Georgia where Jim Griggs of Hydrodynamics, Inc. demonstrates the assembly and operation of a "hydrosonic water pump" which operated over-unity by producing hot water or steam with energy in excess of the electrical energy input to the pump motor. "Over-unity" was confirmed by satisfied customers, including the Albany Fire Station, where engineers from the "local university" and the "local power company" had been called in to verify the over-100% efficiency.
