All these super mileage devices are popular urban myths. Supposedly the automakers and Big Oil won’t allow them to come to market because they’d wreck the industry. As if the auto companies really care what happens to the oil companies. The people who tell you this are usually conspiracy mavens who offer it as an example of how the masses are duped by the Illuminati or some other big bad entity. you do have to be skeptical. Right now oil companies are regarded very lowly by the general public with BP screwing up the Gulf and all. With that the conspiracy theorist has a perfect boogie man to use to sell their scams to a gullible public. It’s far easier to blame a faceless daemon than really study the issue with a critical eye. And lets face it, it is a complex technological issue that to understand requires an understanding of things like Thermodynamics and energy conservation. If you do not understand the technical issues than you can be sold the idea that some extraordinary device can take a car that gets 30MPG and by installing it make the same car get 200MPG. AND here is the most ridiculous part…. the conspiracy theorist sell the idea that auto companies would not use this technology simply because the oil companies or the government said not to. Fact is the auto companies are hurting right now and you bet your life GM would use it, if not they know Ford would, and if not Ford, Toyota or Honda. Something like a 200MPG device could never be suppressed, the value would be far to great. Government could not stop it, what are they going to do, take an auto maker to court for making something a majority of the public wants?  The reason you do not see such devices is the simple fact ‘They do NOT work”,  no one has been able to make it work or demonstrate it is even feasible.

The internal combustion engine does a good job of burning the fuel you put into it, and there is little you can do to the fuel to make that better. It’s just the thermal efficiency of an internal combustion engine is not very good, much of the energy produced is not used to propel the car, it’s lost as heat energy.  Just feel the hood of your car or the radiator, all that heat is just being pumped into the air. Things like turbo chargers can take some of that heat and use it to compress the fuel air mixture for more power and improved mileage but it’s small.

Real high mileage is never the result of a single miraculous component, such as a carburetor. Carburetors in general are an obsolete technology now being replaced by computer controlled electronic fuel injection, which offers superior emission control and better gas mileage. Truth is carbs are the equivalent of the buggy whip. Getting high mileage is sum of numerous small improvements. Among these are lightweight materials, small light car require less energy to move, low-friction tires, improved aerodynamics, flywheels to store and reuse energy now lost during braking, and “ultra-lean-burn” engines for more efficient city driving. The theoretical (and unobtainable) maximum efficiency for a small car like a Honda Civic is around 200 mpg for your big beaters it’s much lower. And that won’t come from “blue-collar ingenuity”, some backyard mechanic with a magical carburetor. Claims to the contrary are fraudulent. Want to get 200MPG, you will need a very small car, maybe only two seater, very light with maybe a small turbo charged diesel engine, and, no Carburetor. The reason you don’t see these cars is not because of a giant conspiracy but because the American public won’t buy these cars, they still want SUVs and pick-up trucks.

Not knowing your grade school science and the concept that the refraction of light on water droplets form rainbows makes those rainbows “A Miracle”. “blow your brain,” from “the Milky Way and fucking shooting stars” to “long-necked giraffes” to “fucking rainbows.” The biggest punch line in the video is when one of these Bozos exclaims “Fucking magnets, how do they work?”  WOW! Imaging being proud of the fact you don’t know this, and so proud of it to but it in a video for all to see.

Sad to say but NOT knowing shit has become very popular with a certain segment of society.  You see it in hillbilly types who will shun “Book learn’en” and their polar opposites Rappers. The deeply religious are finding their precious bible stories of creation and Adam and Eve being relegated to quaint  bed time stories by the science of evolution and cosmology.  So it becomes a situation of not knowing these cold enlightened studies and accepting the warm folktales.

Writing stuff off as a miracle is a form of intellectual laziness.  If something shooting stars is too hard for you to understand and would require reading a book or forgoing the entertainment of a latest music video to find out they’re  chunks of rock heated to blazing temperatures by the friction of the atmosphere as they’re  pulled towards the Earth, why take the trouble?  Write it off as a great mystery.

Well luckily Cracked.com has created a dumbed down science book for ICP Juggalos.  Lots of pictures for the cognitive challenged.

This kind of crap happen in the 60s, communist, socialist and Marxist infiltrated the anti Viet Nam war protesters and far to many peaceniks were too politically correct to ask them to leave, it would not be groovy.  I remember when the Beatles came out with a song that made the statement “If you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao, you ain’t going to make it with anyone anyhow”  the radical left were up in arms, how dare John Lennon point out the obvious, leftist politics doesn’t have anything to do with peace. in fact some of these radicals were promoting quite violent actions. Everything from ecology, no nukes, drug law reform and woman’s liberation got thrown into the Viet Nam war protest and only made them look disorganized and at times down right loony.  Marxist vegans for the liberation of cows.

Sheehan seems to be overly gullible and too full of that 60s none judgemental mentality.  Sorry but sometimes you do need to make a judgment, sometimes you do need to tell the guy in the tin foil hat he is a kook and a detriment to the cause. Being overly influenced by conspiracy theories does make you a lover of peace, it makes you a sucker.

Tell me all you UFO believers. If these things are being flown by intelligent beings and I assume they do not want to be seen, WHY fly with the lights on? Doesn’t sound very intelligent to me. Hell even us lowly humans can fly around without being seen, Rule number one for NOT being seen, TURN OFF YOUR LIGHTS!  Sound more like an unintelligent phenomena being misinterpreted by people who desperately want it to be aliens. Stories of close or not so close encounters sound far more exciting than saying you got drunk and saw a light in the sky, got all excited but it turned out to be a low flying helicopter or the planet Venus.

Now, If their intension is to be seen why only fly around at night and take efforts to avoid being seen. Why not fly right over Cleveland with a big banner “We Come In Peace”. If they want to tell us something important about world peace or the environment why tell it to some drunk hillbilly, old stoner or woman living in a trailer park, give your big important message to someone who is respected and know for being “non-crazy”. And for gods sake what is with the anal probe thing? And how about this thing with having sex with sad lonely and often ugly women?

This is what is called Critical Thinking. If it sounds like BS, it most likely is BS.

Some of you may remember the sightings of UFOs over Morristown, N.J. earlier this year, it to was captured on video that has been posted to YouTube. And I bet still being used as proof of alien visitors. It turned out to be simply two guys attaching road flairs to balloons. They did it to prove a point, so called “Experts” said they could not explain the light and their movements implying it could only be aliens. The news media made a big point of interviewing a professional pilot who saw the light and recognized they were not airplanes, well yeah, there were flairs tied to balloons.

So imaging getting some cheap bright flashing LED lights and a few good size balloons, instant UFOs. I would bet money a hoax is more likely than aliens pilots.

No big mystery here. Of all the hundreds of thousands of vehicle accidents each year the vast majority are caused by driver error. And a smaller present weather related. The weakest link in the car is the nut that attaches the steering wheel to the drivers seat.

Yet you are supposed to believe the current hype and buy the very unlikely situation where these cars are suffering full throttle acceleration BUT also complete failure of the brakes.  AND all this without trace of this double system failure in the cars involved. Nobody has seen this happen to these cars under controlled observable conditions, often using the same cars that drivers have said suffered the event. And these test are not just being performed by the government and the manufacturers but also by organizations who would just love to prove the cars are at fault and yet even they can’t reproduce the claimed events.

Blaming the government and corporations seems to be very popular with a certain segment of the population, unfortunately popular opinion does not make the reality of the situation what they want it to be. And it only tends to make it harder to hold corporations feet to the fire when they really do something wrong.

The Punching Bag Hits Back: Prius Crash Was Driver Error.

From Wired Magazine February 22, 2010. Plus this ‘Conspiracy Generator’  for those too lazy to make up their own.

Are you kidding me? [ event ] was a total sham! Think about it! Everyone knows that [ appeal to precedent ]. And have you noticed that [ ruling elite ] has started to act very strangely? They obviously don’t want this story getting out. I mean, what would happen if people began asking [ disturbing question ]? Well, they may be able to fool the sheeple, but the members of [ dedicated group of truth-seekers ] aren’t swallowing their story. Look, don’t take it from me; [ expert endorsement ] is convinced as well. But we have to act fast, because [ suggestion of imminent threat ]. I just wanted you to be aware of this, in case I disappear.

Team Unintended Acceleration

It’s been about fifteen years now since the issue of unintended acceleration was the big thing in the publics mind. At that time auto maker Audi was the one who got the majority of the blame for this supposed action whereby cars would accelerate away all on their own. Today it’s Toyota. But fact is nearly every car at one time or another have had reports of this happening. Quite frankly the issue is not with the cars but in majority of cases caused by drivers PUSHING ON THE WRONG PEDAL! In some really sad cases this error has caused injury and death. People didn’t want to accept this accident as driver error, especially if you were the one who’s momentary error caused an injury or death, it had to be a fault with the car and the big bad uncaring corporations who built them. I remember the woman who ran over her child with her Audi, you had to feel sorry for her as she described the accident and you could understand exactly why placing the blame on the car was far better for her mental well being than dealing with the reality of the event.

Well Toyota is now the maker suffering from this Unintended Pedal Confusion issue. The problem is the executives at Toyota have not learned from Audi’s mistake. They seem to be afraid to call the issues like it is, too afraid of offending customers and in the process looking guilty as hell. There also is no shortage of trial lawyers who will be glad to sue a major auto makers for $$$$$$$.

This does not stop media hype from playing on peoples fears. Audi suffered a decline in sales in the USA because of a report on TV’s 60 Minutes which purported to show that Audi automobiles suffered from this acceleration problem. Independent investigators concluded that this was most likely due to a close placement of the accelerator and brake pedals on Audi’s automatic transmission cars. You see unlike 1970 era American cars with their wide brake pedal and small gas pedal, Audi used pedal placement more in line with European tradition and derived from it’s manual transmission cars. Many Americans were now buying these cars due to higher gas prices, and being use to the American pedal arrangement found they had a tendency when not paying attention to confuse the two. It’s not like Audi was putting the gas pedal on the left and the brakes on the right, you could make a case that doing so would be negligent, but using a pedal placement that millions of drivers both American and Foreign have had no issue with is not reckless. Get into most cars today and you will find this European pedal setup is very common.

The only thing that seems to be a legitimate issue in the Toyota case is improperly installed floor mats, and not just floor mats but the heavy rubber floor mats. On some cars these rubber mats are designed to REPLACE the carpet mats and NOT to be placed on top of the carpet mats. These can get pushed forward and cause the gas pedal to stick. But again this looks to be a problem of the drivers improperly installing them or removing the mats to clean and then not using the floor attachment hooks to hold the mats in place or breaking the hooks when removing the mats.

If you know anything about cars you know no car with operational brakes can overpower those brakes. Even it the throttle sticks wide open you only need to step on the brakes and the car will come to a stop, it may take longer but it will stop. If you push on the brakes pedal and put the car in gear and push the gas pedal to the floor, the car will go nowhere, you may damage the transmission in the process but the brakes will hold the car. it would take a car with very poor brakes and lots of power indeed for the engine to overpower the brakes. When you hear of drivers claiming to push on the brakes with both feet as the car accelerates always you have to ask yourself “do they really have both feet on the brakes?” or is it a common bad driving habit you see with far too many drivers, that is driving with one foot on the gas and one on the brake. I am sure you have seen it before, a car cruising down the freeway, brakes lights on because the driver is slightly pushing on the brake with their left foot. Not only does this make it impossible to tell if the person is really stopping but it causes the brakes to drag causing heat to build up in the pads and rotors, this heat can decrease the efficiency of the stopping power of the car when most needed. You can also see that in a panic situation a left foot brake person may well find themselves mashing on both the gas and brake at the same time. PLEASE! If your habit is to use your left foot to operate the brake, please stop now, This is just piss poor driving and dangerous. Hey, maybe it’s time for cars to have vocal warnings to prevent drivers from pushing on both pedals at the same time.

Here is the situation in a nutshell. If these cars were in fact running away at full throttle and at the same time the brakes were refusing to work you would certainly see someone who could reproduce the situation and prove their point. If it were a mechanical issue you would see investigators with parts showing these mechanical problems like broken return springs or stuck accelerator actuators. So far all the facts point to driver error or improperly installed floor mats.

So… what YOU want me to believe here Hal, is that some of these hijackers are sitting alive and well somewhere for nine years, and all they or anyone else unfriendly to the US government has to do to expose the big USA false flag operation of 9/11 is to pull them out in front of a camera for all the world to see? It sure would take the blame off Muslims. BUT….. They do NOT????? Hey Hal….. Maybe you don’t see that happening is because THEY ARE DEAD! It’s a thing called “LOGIC”, you should try it sometime. As with all truthers I have met I realize you are probably not very well informed or very bright, but we are talking pure logic here. How do you tell something you are being told is bullshit or real? In other words, How do you NOT become a sucker? Ask yourself what about this observation doesn’t wash. If someone tells you Elvis is alive or they have a fire breathing dragon in their garage, your next question should, “Well, Lets see him or it?”

YouTube – Actor/Comedian Hal Sparks Speaks Out In Support of 9/11 Truth.

So Pat, does that mean I can kill your family members because their old man is such a useless piece of shit?  Maybe we should nuke Germany because of the Holocaust thing, hell we may even get a few Nazis who were alive during WWII.  Why stop there?  Fire bomb the Vatican for their part in the Crusades. Why make this god fellow do all the work?

Maybe I just have a higher moral conception than Robertson’s god, I know if I could prevent the suffering in Haiti I would do it in a heartbeat. I also know if a buffoon like Pat Robertson had tried to pin 9/11 and the Haiti earthquake on me he would have burst into flames right there on TV and would have to been put out by beating with a rake and being pissed on.

So I should not have been surprised that the man who ran into his office wall thinking he could melt right through it using the power of his mind would also buy into the nonsense of the 9/11 Truth people.  Me thinks the general must have run head first into that wall on more than just one occasion. It would seem that many in the truth movement do have a tendency to follow the leader rather quickly and without vetting so Stubblebine is welcomed by many a truther. They think of the person as an authority because they have a title, Dr. or General, former USG official.

One thing I have learned when dealing with truthers is they like to embrace all sort of claptrap.  You know those condensation trails you see coming out of high flying jets? In trutherville it is thought to be chemical spraying of mind control drugs or weather changing compounds.  And then you have the subset of truthers who believe no airplanes hit the towers, No-Planers who buy the idea of holographic projections were what everyone saw.  High energy space beam weapons are popular with a certain faction. Your basic big tent of loonies.

The only good point of the general involvement is it have sparked accusations of disinformation among members of the “Truth” movement. The infighting among the “planers” and “no-planers”,  the controlled demolition and non-controlled demolition and the “Let it happen on purpose” LIHOP  and the “Made it happen on purpose” MIHOP  is comedy  gold. I myself get accused of being a paid government agent because I happen to have enough sense to call a kook a kook. Yeah, Yeah, I know, it’s not cool or politically correct dismiss others deeply felt ideas, but when your idea is pure 100% crap like staring at goats with deadly intent or thinking the WTC was a controlled demolition one would be a fool himself to entertain the ideas as some how based on reality.

“I think a new investigation is something that many many people agree with, if people don’t start saying, ‘It’s an inside job.’ Because that turns a lot of people off, even though I think it (9-11) was an inside job, I just don’t know how far inside it went. But as soon as you say it’s an inside job, people start saying, oh, you’re accusing Dick Cheney of planning the whole thing, blah blah blah. Well, of course, some people are (laughs) but then people say, we don’t know, we need to find out. Was it CIA? Was it whoever? Whoever, um, it had to be an inside job. There’s like no way they could have done that, just like the one on December 25th. There’s no way that guy could have done it without some kind of help, and we know he got help. Who was (crosstalk) that nice-dressed man that got him through that these people witnessed, got him through security?”

Podcast Alpha Pictoris by Paul Tassopulos.

Really?… Please will someone tell her the “Inside Job” thing is dead.  All that is left is a small band of science illiterate conspiracy theorist kooks still stuck in a 2005 mind set. And are we now to believe the Underwear Bomber was an inside job?  Listen Cindy, I know you are not a genius by any stretch of the word but try thinking a little here, if the Christmas eve event was a CIA black ops job the bombing would have been more of a terror inducing incident rather than a joke, “Ha Ha, silly terrorist couldn’t even blow his own balls off”, what’s to be afraid of?

If it were a false flag operation designed to instill fear in people the aircraft would have gone down or the terrorist would have blown himself up and taken several people with him. And he would have direct links to Al Qieda rather than being a sad mixed up rich kid.

And seeing as it had even turned up at Yahoo Answers http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091107174905AAKzB4m One would have to assume it is true! After all Yahoo Answers is epitome of intellectual insights and logic.

The first to jump on the kook express are of course the 9/11 Inside Job crackpots. The comments over at 911blogger have the same lame “Only asking questions” tactic, Gee! as if the early reports coming out of a hectic event such as this would NOT contain some inaccuracies and confusion.
Fort Hood Shooting ‘Oddities’

Submitted by Orangutan. on Sat, 11/07/2009 One can only assume “Orangutan” is an observation on the posters evolutionary rank.

I saw a comment over on BradBlog that said this was a traditional case of mutiny on the base. After they got things settled, they didn’t want that fact to come out because it might encourage others who are feeling the same way to act out the same way, so they framed this psychiatrist who may have just been injured in the incident. Of course this is all speculation, but with the initial reports it kind of makes sense. We’ll see what comes of it if anything.

So apparently the conspiracy is that soldiers are in an armed revolt and being shot by other soldiers and the entire episode is being covered up and an innocent Muslim Army Major being made the scapegoat.

My question becomes, “How do I cash in on the scam?” Conspiracy theorist being the gullible suckers they are prime candidates for a little fleecing, If I were a scum bag I would write a book, maybe a DVD to sell to the rubes.

You will note the upper block of mass is not slowed down much by the rest of the building. The collapse occurs quite quickly. The debris is largely confined. Though some appears propelled out the sides. The collapse of the entire structure is achieved by highly localized one or two floors failures.

So are we to now believe the French did 9/11? Yeah we all know how friendly the French are towards the US. Gee, to bad the truthers got so invested in the thermite deal, or Super Nano Thermite or whatever imagined material these kooks pull from their asses. They could have used the “French CD Technique” as the smoking gun clue. At least it LOOKS like what happened to the towers. And the American population tend to hate those Frogs, so truthers would have had a more receptive audience.

In 1998 I saw this implosion in person, and ever though I was a good mile and a half away the sound was deafening and had the characteristic even spacing you hear in REAL controlled demolitions. Nothing at all like the events of 9-11-01.
