Continent-size toxic stew of plastic trash fouling swath of Pacific Ocean
...the so-called Great Pacific Garbage Patch - a heap of debris floating in the Pacific that's twice the size of Texas, according to marine biologists.

The enormous stew of trash - which consists of 80 percent plastics and weighs some 3.5 million tons, say oceanographers - floats where few people ever travel, in a no-man's land between San Francisco and Hawaii.

Lehrman for Senate Fundraiser in Santa Fe: Bioregional Sovereignty & Currency Deregulation
Until publicly financed campaigns can protect citizens from unfair concentrated wealth, independent candidates for office must raise money to make their case. This Saturday, from 7:30 pm on, Lehrman for Senate will holds its first fundraiser at Elisabeth Sherif's house in Santa Fe. Directions are below. The title of our discussion will be Anatomy of the New World Order and What to Do About It. I will discuss my own political history and the motivations for my candidacy. Finally, on solutions, I will present a new national idea, ... Decentralized, bioregional, sovereign autonomous zones with the freedom to create their own currencies based on renewable energy, organic food, municipal water and public utilities will underwrite the birth of a society organized in the best interests of each community. As Senator I will work to break the Federal Reserve's monopoly on credit, oppose international globalization, devolve sovereign powers to local government and support renewable energy and organic food as the basis of new currencies designed for human life, rather than for slave-driving pyramid builders.

1,000,000/year killed by Chinese pollution; Chinese environmental protests, media blackout
Near Wuxi, Taihu Lake, China’s third largest lake, undrinkable,filtration broken Environmental protests are becoming more frequent & strident in China, despite state media blackouts. The country has, according to World Bank research, 16 of the 20 worst polluted cities IN THE WORLD....Even the Chinese gov't admits to major Chinese urban/rural industrial water pollution accidents every 2-3 days. In a damning cover up the Chinese government has used its involvement in a World Bank report on the environment to conceal that around 750,000 people in China die prematurely each year due to pollution....A further 300,000 people thought to be killed by exposure to poor air indoors...another 60,000 deaths to poor water quality, largely in countryside leading to severe diarrhoea & stomach, liver & bladder cancers [thus, in all, with solvable air & water pollution, well over a million Chinese killed by their one-party state's international corporatist developmental model annually]...."The World Bank was told that it could not publish this information. It was too sensitive and could cause social unrest," one adviser to the study told the Financial Times....."We don't need GDP. We need life." Not a slogan from the anti-G8 protests in Germany this week, though it might have been. The words appear in the closing titles of an online video manifesto [below] from China--part Lao Tzu, part Naomi Klein--that may mark an unlikely shift in attitudes among the country's youth,....Remember that the Green Party came out of terrible industrial pollution of Germany; given that China is hundreds of times worse, expect China's Green values starting to be a hundred times stronger.... Chinese "networked protesters...spread news of upcoming protests by SMS, Twitter updates & online bulletin boards" in attempts to get around their one-party state's 'Great Firewall of China', a totalitarian firewall courtesy of equally totalitarian Bill Gates & Microsoft.

Forget "Hybrids", that last overpriced clientelistic gasp of the dying oil industry. Go Water Engine. Go Air Car Engine. A dozen videos for you to break through the corporate media Berlin Wall technological denial about it. The rest of the world moves on, in technological innovation, as the U.S. oil majors keep you trapped in their technology. --- Tremendous power, clean and without emissions except water vapor (for water engine, hundreds of time more kick than petrol) and zero emissions at all without even water vapor for the air car (easily rechargeable, with compressed air--instead of with oil's wasteful low efficiency explosions moving pistons; explosions and thermodynamics are unrequired to move pistons) --- New clean energy sources are here. Many say that all the peoples of the world, particularly in the industrialized nations, need to scale back their energy consumption, ending their hopes for a brighter future. However, the limitations are entirely a false social control trap, a sign of being brainwashed by media lies. What if there were an ultimate solution of infinitely clean source that almost no one had previously expected, water? Or just using compressed air? Information on patents and reality of such technologies--and how one non-oil car is about to explode out of repression: the AIR CAR GOES INTO MASS PRODUCTION (via a Guy Negre's French corporation MDI (Motor Development International) allied with the Indian car manufacturer, Tata Motors.
