So Tonight is the debate for third party candidates on http://www.democracynow.org/  With four of the people running for President in this election cycle. I couple of weeks ago I said I would talk about the Libertarian party, so I will give a short bit. I Like to talk about Gary Johnson , check out this link for starters if you do not know about him.. He was a very good Governor in New Mexico, my home state and even more so for a Republican. He did start the gambling thing with his compact with the Native tribes, which I disagree with but it did finally help the New Mexico economy after it hurt it for a few years. I believe he is one of the very good center of the road, common sense sort of politicians we need. one thing I really like about Governor Johnson is the lack of the pushing of Ayn Rand sort of notion many libertarians push.

So about the Libertarian Party . Much of what they say in principle is great, like many of the other parties. However I do not agree that we must remove controls over the Giant corporation in our country. The largest of these businesses are only concerned with profit and not with the production of real goods and or services in our country or the rest of the world.  Mitt Romney is a great example of the worst money can buy. We can not continue with the kind of trickle down economy that got US in this mess, and only creates a bunch of  more poor people. Every since Ronald "Reaganomics"  the notion that trickle-down economics  has any real function in producing a healthy, robust type of economic growth has been shown to be totally false. It only continues to create a big divide between the top and regular people, and has not created any growth in income for almost everyone else. The top 400 families in America  have more than the bottom 50 percent. You can not tell me that anyone is so smart, or works so hard that they deserve to be paid millions,or hundreds of millions for there work, or that they work that much harder than the rest of us. Mitt Romney got over 100 million dollars in compensation for a deal when the Auto industry and the Banks were in trouble that cost all Americans an unfair burden.What the Republicans and many in the Tea party are pushing today is just a dressed up form of laissez-faire capitalism. See the third party debate tonight on link tv.

Alternative Energy 2B or not too Be that is the Question, or is it?

I will start by asking how you feel about some polluted food. What about water to drink or air to breath?
Since before the time of the testing of the first atomic bombs in New Mexico back during WWII the pollution of the Biosphere in the southwest United States has been ongoing. This story on http://www.democracynow.org/2012/10/11/after_decades_of_uranium_mining_navajo  about the vast history of uranium waste blowing around the beautiful sky and land of the southwest with radiation, do we continue to let this happen, or is it time for us all to admit that more nuclear energy is not the answer.  The fukushima disaster has effectively contaminated the whole pacific ocean and the food coming from it for who knows how long. The radiation that has a short half life is  only a few hundred or a few thousand years and the half life for  plutonium 239,  24,000 years and Plutonium-244  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plutonium is 80 million years. Is this something to be feeding our children or grand children? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima disaster

In New Mexico the first nuclear bombs of our age were created and our government has been taken over by a military and industrial complex just like President Eisenhower said in his farewell address to the American people before he left office. In just the ten years since the war started under false pretenses in Iraq and in Afghanistan the US  spent enough money on these wars to make our whole country independent with solar or wind power five to nine times over depending on what mix is used. And another consideration is the loss of so many lives of our young soldiers, and who really knows who many hundreds of thousands of innocent middle eastern people. Just for the control of oil and natural resources? Oh yes and the contamination of more of the middle east with depleted uranium warheads which also have some plutonium in them. If you feel that this is not just a war over oil and natural resources, just check out the Greg Palast Book called Armed Madhouse.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Palast  Just check it out, Amazon gave this book five stars and that is not very common for such a book. It is not often that a single book can put all of the seemingly crazy conspiracy theory's to rest, but when there is enough evidence to show that something is actually real, this is one of them.

And now for something that is totally new check out the interview with the creator and founder of the "Earthship Biotecture" movement in the the southwest. Watch the end of the Democracy now section at the end of the show listed above for some of the very best examples of  recycling of water, building and original thinking and low impact housing. Do it for all the living things on our little planet. We must take a stand now while we still can. Please help take back our country and our world. And please share this with as many people as you can.

Alternative energy and water #2

So today on http://www.democracynow.org/ , I heard a story about the protests to stop use of tar sands for the production of oil in Utah. So called Clean coal, hydro fracking and tar sand are some of the biggest users and polluters of water and no amount of PR about how good it is will change that.

 There are many better, cleaner ways to produce clean energy that do not destroy our Mother Earth. Here is a you tube video that of just one of many about clean energy.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_Ctw3zA2F4&feature=related. This awesome man Sir Charles has been on Coast to Coast am several times, and this is a very simple system to produce electricity and makes hot water as a by product.Very simple and  efficient.

It has come to my attention that the chem-trails that are being sprayed on us and into the environment are full of aluminum, barium, and strontium.  There is a whole forest in the area of MT Shasta in California that the trees are dyeing off.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFpLW_KkQEo . These Metals  in the chemtrails make the PH of the soil wick moisture back out of the plant or slow the uptake in a way that many of them will die. To many of those that say this is a conspiracy theory, I say that it ceases to be a theory if there is enough evidence to support that it is no longer a theory. Let your congressman know that you are tired of this destruction of the land and sky. This not only pollutes the land but also the water and us as well. Please share this information with all your friends if you care about or planet.

We are part of the Biosphere and the Biosphere is part of us. We must take care of the earth if we are to continue to take care of ourselves. 

Alternative energy and water during a time of rapid climate destabilization.

There has been talk of an comprehensive plan for energy in this country since the days of Jimmy Carter. Since the first Arab oil embargo and the first fake oil shortage, and still have seen no real vision of turning the whole country and most of America to a green economy. How do we deflate the carbon Fossil Fuel Bubble  without collapsing the world economy? So I am going to take a stab in that direction and see if we can make some of this stick. This is the single most pressing issue except maybe the corrupt private banking system called the World Bank and the Federal Reserve banking system. Money in Politics and the buying of elected and appointed official must end. Citizen United must be overturned

This might sound like a conspiracy theory to some of the more conservative people who read this, but let me ask one question of everyone before I start on Energy and water.  No one said anything about the vast amount of money going to foreign countries for imported petroleum this past presidential election.

The main and most important reason for moving as fast as possible to a fully green economy for our self in America and the rest of the world too, is that we must preserve the environment. Not only do we live in it but it is in us. We breath it, we eat it through our food and water. We take a bath in it from the air, our skin lets toxins out and also takes them in. Using the best Ideas from Permaculture and Biodynamic agriculture it is still possible to pull this iron out of the fire.

I got to meet Bill Mollison at the First conference on developing a planetary village on Whidbey Island in the early eighty's. He said the most important thing to learning Permaculture is to be observant. I am very encouraged by the young people of our current days. We can do this, it will take participation at every level of participation. Educational, social, political, spiritual, environmental and economic.  Now is the time for all good people to stand up on the right side of history.

 I knew it was bad with record temperatures here in the mid-south all year, but this is not the only one that is saying we are near the tipping point. So please help get this word out to every elected and appointed officials you know and all of your friends that will listen. I care so much about my kids and grand kids, and all my other friends and family, and I hope and pray most all of you do too. I love this world and everyone in it, even the people I am pissed off at. Now is the time to create the Next System.


Wind power and solar are pretty simple and well known and very efficient if the power is not far from the point of use. If it is very far away a lot of energy is lost in transmission to point of use. Same with everything going through a regular power grid. There are some new and very exciting types of solar that are not talked about by the regular corporate media, and that are becoming very cost effective.

Why would I put Water  in the title of this article with energy besides to talk Hydro electric.  We need to start purifying as much water as we can before it gets to the oceans. Small and large passive constructed wetland systems on the way to the ocean or just to refill the water tables and store it underground.The reason is that one of the most important places that greenhouse gases are stored on our planet is in our oceans and seas and they may be dying soon if we do not work fast. How do you feel about seafood? This does not even include the fukushima disaster and the problems that come with it.

Hydroelectric must be set up in as many places as we can do efficiently, and as soon as possible to start moving water to and from the driest and places on the continent. This needs to be a two way system so that when it is flooding in one part of the country it can move water to where it is dry. Thousands in every county starting where it is wettest. We do not have any lack of clean water, we have a lack of water utilization systems. Not giant dams like the one at Glen canyon that created lake Powell or Hoover dam. We must build hundreds or thousands of small micro-hydro systems  or small water wheels, in every county in the country and hundreds of thousands in every state of the union. The Waterotor can be used in the low flow areas or bays and cuts between islands. Giant projects must be avoided. A more decentralized system; but  something like the original North American Water and Power Alliance (NAWAPA). 

  It just falls from the sky; all the water we can use, sometimes too much or too little.  The only places that should be exempt are the places like wet lands that will be damaged by even a small bypass of water for hydro electric.  Even if we end up with a small gain of electricity or even a small loss until we have refilled the water tables. With a nationwide water and hydroelectric system, we preserve lots of good clean water or dirty water we can purify. Thousands of small ponds to store and utilize this water, and to rebuild the tilth and fertility of the soil. There is no better place to store carbon than in good fertile soil. This will help also prevent more destruction and very costly rebuilding or reclamation of large areas. Even if oil and gas pipe lines are still being built, this water system must be built if we are to stop this now very real climate disaster in the making.

We must start planting and replanting trees all over the planet. Trees and vegetation are one of the most efficient ways to sequester and store carbon in a solid form. We must start at the west coast as soon as we can with millions of trees. There is no better way to move water inland than the tree, and it stores CO2 while it does this. When the weather is in a normal summer pattern the prevailing wind is from west to east and moves this water to the east.

Grass fed agriculture. How does this fit with energy and water. When we have a drought, land that has been grown on chemicals die much sooner than land and pasture that is grown with natural fertilizer. Grass fed land, even if it is not from grazing animals, but done with regular grass and leaf compost will store much more carbon than any land fed chemical fertilizer.  Regular NPK fertilizer is one of the major reasons for the fifteen thousand square kilometer dead zone that is killing the Gulf of Mexico now. A major reason to purify as much water as we can before it gets to the coast.(This dead zone has increased over the past few years.)

The creation of vast man made wetlands and bypasses of rivers and streams to clean water before it reaches the ocean will be of utmost importance. Healthy wetlands and ponds can also produce a  lot of food and store nutrition that can be added to other soils for agriculture or even better systems like aquaculture and Permaculture.

So about the fraud of clean coal and so called abundant and cheep natural gas from Hydraulic fracturing.  Coal is not cheep or clean. and even worse if you consider the vast amount of water and land totally destroyed from these processes. Fracking is a disaster and now banned in many areas. I was born and raised in New Mexico and Lived in Kentucky, and I have seen what this has done to these beautiful lands and the water. Check this out on the internet if you do not know, and see if you are mad enough to call your legislators and chew them out; Or ask them nice.

 We must also come up with a plan to Capture as much of the Methane starting to come out of the Permafrost and along the continental shelf. It makes the oceans more acid and has a very bad effect in the atmosphere. Even if we start with something like big upside down umbrella type systems connected to a storage tank with a compressing system or similar type systems on a boat or ship in the ocean. Methane has many uses and just comes out of the ground. For energy in agriculture or other uses. I get a bad feeling that We do not have long to get our act together, so now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of our planet.

Contact your Legislators, local or national.
We can make a difference if we work together!

This was the Garden of Eden once and it can be again!

Ten Key Values of The Green Party OF Arkansas

I have been involved with the Green Party for the last four election cycles. I have the Utmost respect tor the Principles that they stand for. This is the Arkansas Green party web site http://arkgreens.kk5.org/ . just click on the ten principles on the ten key values for a preview. I will talk about the  libertarian party in a few days after I finish the ten principles.

As is well known the one Issue that effects us all is the issue of environment, and the issue the Green Party hold near or at the top of the issues in every election. We are in the environment and it is in us, we breath it in, our food grows in it, we drink it and our young people and babies play and breath in it.  So I will put this at the top of this list of key values that I will be discussing over the rest of this campaign season and into the time before the new people that are elected take office in January of 2013. If we want to change the direction of our country and our world we must push all of our elected and appointed officials to listen to us. This means we must contact them often and consistently until the do actually start to listen to us, no matter how much money they have taken from the giant corporations. The Green Party does not take money from any corporations. Do you feel that your Representatives do represent you? Please help us take back our country while we still can do this peacefully,

I will Start with the issue of environment in the next couple of days and this is a general outline of issues related to energy and sustainability.
Water, Hydro electricity and clean water, the fraud behind clean coal and cheep coal and other fossil fuels.
Solar power and free energy.
Wind power etc.

Hi, My name is Bill.
Just a question to start. How do you feel about the political scene in our country this year.

So a little Info about Me before I start. I have been involved in the activist movement since back in the late Seventies, in the early days of the stop the wipp project.
And 80's when Congressman Ron Paul was the Presidential candidate for the Libertarians. I was part of the Fully Informed Jury Amendment movement then. I have worked with Dem's, Greens, Libertarians, Unions and many issue campaigns. I did the campaign to amend the state Constitution of Colorado with the libertarians  in twenty ten on the issue of Obama Care as it is now called. Three of the last four Green Party of Arkansas campaigns to get ballot access.  I have also worked with Move On, Voter Outreach, and Working America. I have never worked for the Republicans but I might  have this year if they had let Ron Paul or the now libertarian candidate Governor Gary Johnson get up and have a fair voice in the Debates this year.  Gary Johnson Did not even get to talk in any of the Republicon debates. That is enough for now, I will not bore anyone with more past info, but thanks for your checking us out her at progressive political consultants.

Thanks so much.
Bill Bradshaw.
