Our Constitutional Rights and the Bill of Rights have been violated time and time again. Our Democracy of a Government is so corrupt that it flows completely into the hands of the Judicial System. As long as we keep the crooks in our courts , behind the gavel, this country will never change. It is so sad when you think back over the last seven and a half years, how many new judges has our beloved President put into the Supreme Court, nothing like stacking the deck for the sake of the government. As we sit here and worry about the issues that we face on a daily basis, think about this, the government has us right where they want each and everyone of us, fighting about things that we alone cannot change, non the less they have the power to keep us from being united as one as long as we keep arguing and fighting about the little things like fuel, (just an example, I think would should continue our fight). We fight about fuel but yet at the same time our Constitutional Rights are being flushed down the toilet. The fuel issue is just a way to cover up the real issues that are taking place. Our Country has become a greedy, selfish, everyman for himself country. Look around at what you see going on any given day, our issues, high cost of fuel, where does the money go? I don't mind paying for high cost fuel, when the profits are being put back into refineries and the employees who make the product. No big Corporate management bonuses. We,our Government, gives these oil tycoons big tax breaks, for what, to line the pockets of some big wig executive? People we need to take a stand for more than just high fuel cost, as much as I hate the news media, and the freedom of press being abused sometimes, we need to support them as well, after all it is one of our Constitutional Rights. If our Supreme Court is going to let the freedom of press slide by the wayside, then what other Constitutional Rights will slide down the toilet in a swirling motion?

Lou Dobbs on CNN Asks Why Government is Lying about 9/11
2006-08-09, CNN News
<A href="http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0608/09/ldt.01.html" target=_blank>CNN.com - Transcripts

A shocking new book by the 9/11 Commission co-chairmen Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton says Americans still don't know the whole truth about their government's initial response to those terrorist attacks that day. [The book] outlines repeated misstatements by the Pentagon and Federal Aviation Administration. Fog of war ... could not explain why all of the after-action reports, accident investigations, and public testimony by FAA and NORAD officials advanced an account of 9/11 that was untrue. Untrue -- the military's original timeline of United Flight 93. Equally untrue, the government's timeline for American Flight 77 and details about fighter jets scrambled to intercept it. DOD did not accurately report to the 9/11 Commission on the response to the September 11, 2001 hijackings. So far, government investigators stopped short of calling all of these inaccuracies lies. If all of the after-action reports are untrue, for whatever reason, that's a lie. Incompetence and ineptitude on the part of this government ... in the weeks leading up to 9/11 are established. The fact that the government would permit deception ... the fact that they would continue and perpetuate the lie suggests that we need a full investigation of what is going on and what is demonstrably an incompetent and at worst deceitful federal government.

[9/11] Hijack 'suspects' alive and well
2001-09-23, BBC News
<A href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/1559151.stm" target=_blank>BBC NEWS | World | Middle East | Hijack 'suspects' alive and well

Another of the men named by the FBI as a hijacker in the suicide attacks on Washington and New York has turned up alive and well. The identities of four of the 19 suspects accused of having carried out the attacks are now in doubt. Saudi Arabian pilot Waleed Al Shehri was one of five men that the FBI said had deliberately crashed American Airlines flight 11 into the World Trade Centre on 11 September. His photograph was released, and has since appeared in newspapers and on television around the world. He told journalists there that he had nothing to do with the attacks. He has contacted both the Saudi and American authorities. He acknowledges that he attended flight training school at Daytona Beach in the United States, and is indeed the same Waleed Al Shehri to whom the FBI has been referring. But, he says, he left the United States in September last year [and] became a pilot with Saudi Arabian airlines. Abdulaziz Al Omari, another of the Flight 11 hijack suspects ... says he is an engineer with Saudi Telecoms, and that he lost his passport while studying in Denver. Meanwhile ... a London-based Arabic daily says it has interviewed Saeed Alghamdi. He was listed by the FBI as a hijacker in the United flight that crashed in Pennsylvania. And there are suggestions that another suspect, Khalid Al Midhar, may also be alive. FBI Director Robert Mueller acknowledged on Thursday that the identity of several of the suicide hijackers is in doubt.

9/11 third tower mystery 'solved'
2008-07-04, BBC News
<A href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7485331.stm" target=_blank>BBC NEWS | Americas | 9/11 third tower mystery 'solved'

The 47-storey third tower, known as Tower Seven, collapsed seven hours after the twin towers. Investigators are expected to say ordinary fires on several different floors caused the collapse. Conspiracy theorists have argued that the third tower was brought down in a controlled demolition. Unlike the twin towers, Tower Seven was not hit by a plane. The National Institute of Standards and Technology [NIST] ... is expected to conclude in its long-awaited report this month that ordinary fires caused the building to collapse. That would make it the first and only steel skyscraper in the world to collapse because of fire. [NIST's] lead investigator, Dr Shyam Sunder, spoke to BBC Two's "The Conspiracy Files": "Our working hypothesis now actually suggests that it was normal building fires that were growing and spreading throughout the multiple floors that may have caused the ultimate collapse of the buildings." However, a group of architects, engineers and scientists say the official explanation that fires caused the collapse is impossible. Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth argue there must have been a controlled demolition. The founder of the group, Richard Gage, says the collapse of the third tower is an obvious example of a controlled demolition using explosives. "Building Seven is the smoking gun of 9/11. A sixth grader can look at this building falling at virtually freefall speed, symmetrically and smoothly, and see that it is not a natural process. Buildings that fall in natural processes fall to the path of least resistance", says Gage, "they don't go straight down through themselves."

The 65 mpg Ford the U.S. Can't Have
September 2008, Business Week
The 65 mpg Ford the U.S. Can't Have
If ever there was a car made for the times, this would seem to be it: a sporty subcompact that seats five, offers a navigation system, and gets a whopping 65 miles to the gallon. Oh yes, and the car is made by Ford Motors, known widely for lumbering gas hogs. Ford's 2009 Fiesta ECOnetic goes on sale in November. But here's the catch: Despite the car's potential to transform Ford's image and help it compete with Toyota Motor and Honda Motor in its home market, the company will sell the little fuel sipper only in Europe. "We know it's an awesome vehicle," says Ford America President Mark Fields. "But there are business reasons why we can't sell it in the U.S." The main one: The Fiesta ECOnetic runs on diesel. Automakers such as Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz have predicted for years that a technology called "clean diesel" would overcome many Americans' antipathy to a fuel still often thought of as the smelly stuff that powers tractor trailers. Diesel vehicles now hitting the market with pollution-fighting technology are as clean or cleaner than gasoline and at least 30% more fuel-efficient. Yet while half of all cars sold in Europe last year ran on diesel, the U.S. market remains relatively unfriendly to the fuel.

Here's what I don't get, with the way the American economy is today, and knowing the price of diesel fuel is much higher than gasoline, which it never used to be until the last 5 years or so ago, why would an American auto maker sit back and let the oil companies take charge, knowing that they have been working on a prototype that would not make it in the American economy because the oil companies are gouging the price of diesel. I know that everyone would love to have a vehicle that gets 65 mpg, but in the end you would be paying out the yin yang for diesel. Sound to me like to auto manufacturers in America are back the oil companies to make these big profits as well as our government. Yippy, we can build a car that is good for foreign markets, but has no use in the American market.

There are LOTS of fuel places that have added Water to the fuel to raise profits. Some places have no way to remove the Water content in the fuel because of ground water contamination and condensation even though the new style of Tanks are supposedly constructed better.
