Biofuels, Tax Revenue And GM

The 'shortage' of grain crops is being blamed on drought and other factors. Costs spiral. The grain source is simply being used to generate ethanol for biofuel 'technology' so creating the shortage. The wonderful advantage for the owners of such technology and governments is that the fuel itself will attract revenue as alcohol (ethanol) is already taxed. Grain is not taxed, but it can be converted into a taxable product simply by adding it to petrol. An additional 'benefit' is that as the crop is grown and produces the fuel denaturant, it is regarded as a renewable source. Paradoxically, the food source is used to render itself completely unsuitable as a food source.

Cynically

  • Petrol will still constitute at the least an +85% component by volume fossil fuel to a 15% crop-based component. Anything with less petrol content in the 'biofuel' will just not work. The product can be taxed again and again and... After all, it's renewable. The perfect profit engine and fuelled by... food. People will starve, but the parasite will live on. Use of GM crops could be made, but the potential to 'alter' (evolve) the human would be lost.
  • The double whammy? The maximum reduction in the global CO2 output could be around 15% (doesn't represent much) as a maximum, but the reduction in the (huge) numbers by starvation and poverty (possibly 100s of millions) of a respiring species will further reduce that output of CO2 (less atmospheric pollution! - DA). Those that survive will pay for those that have been decimated so making for a sustainable, but much reduced, global population. As long as the fuel consumers survive, the financial return will not be harmed.
  • The global population will certainly never reach the 9.4bn (that must be a joke! - DA) forecast for 2050, currently in 2008 at around 6.6bn. Global poverty has allegedly decreased from 430 millions in 1970 to 52 millions in 1998, but biofuels should 'restore' that situation though with prices hugely distorted.
  • In one direction there is a reduction in poverty and that paves the way for the introduction of biofuels. The global population growth describes that world population hit the 6bn mark in June 1999 roughly double the size of 1960 and over 3.5 times the size of Earth’s population 60 years before that.
  • Food prices have escalated out of control as a result and so by adding 'fuel' to the fire and removing food from that population, prices should increase even more. It's 'clever', but highly predictable as it's always been about making money. Greed and need for more and more. Until paradoxically there is nothing left: King Midas. Money will ultimately have no value, but as a device it is the way to power and control.
The Great CO2 Scam. Consider the implications of deforestation.

With IVF being promoted, it is evidence that a 'renewable' human population is envisaged to dilute and eventually replace the existing one. The potential to alter the human genome becomes a reality certainly in principle with the drive to 'create' possible new species. The Human-Rabbit/Cow chimera. Fantasy? Maybe. Plausible? Definitely. Why is there such a 'persuasive' drive to promote IVF onto a world that can hardly sustain a population in 2008? Any forecast in an exponential capacity is absolutely ridiculous. This is projecting ahead by over 40 years. Examine what changes have occurred over the last 40 years to around 1970 and how society has changed in those four decades.

The alcoholic drinks market is huge and growing at an alarming rate. In the UK the ethic of 24-hour drinking is a disaster, but actively encouraged by government and the justifiction being peddled is that this is what the public wants. That lie was shot down in flames a long time ago. A (minority) element of the public certainly wants it. The rampant alcoholic generation. The hooks into the addict become more numerous and get buried even deeper into the flesh.

Ethanol for cars = alcohol for humans

These two terms are both pandered, but they describe precisely the same product. One product split two ways and both large revenue 'earners'. For governments it's a win-win scenario and for everybody else it's lose-lose.


BIG time

That the starving will starve more efficiently is not a material factor, but the acquisition of money is. Greed at the expense of suffering and death. The dead do not generate revenue so are totally expendable, but the living (dead) can be milked even more efficiently. And are completely unaware and don't care. All addictions have this very deadly side-effect. It's only a question of time before drug use (other than nicotine) becomes encouraged and is so overtly taxed like cigarettes and alcohol (ethanol). The justifiction that biofuels will head off oil shortages and so be advantageous to the 'fight against climate change' and the eventual exhaustion of the world's oil reserves is another lie. The ever increasing global population is encouraged by actively not discouraging it, so the potential for diverting money from those that have it escalates. Offering discounted rates of IVF to poverty stricken nations is a most sickening cynicism and exploitation of a human resource. The need to farm human embryos can be furthered by creating a surplus of these eggs in a country that cannot support it. They will be harvested by the black knight as part of a rescue package. The illusion is that this is a good thing, when in fact it could not be more dastardly. Stem cells and the Catholic Church creates the explanation.

Create the situation and provide the solution

Not the individual wealthy, but governments that disburse tax revenue. Revenue wrested from those who work to 'earn' it. It's slavery. Crude and simple. Like worker bees, generating the honey that is then stolen. The nourishment for the young and growing taken to feed something else. That something else in human terms is greed. Steal to acquire more.

The real reason is to produce greater quantities of ethanol not for use in cars alone (a revenue earner), but to make alcohol even cheaper to produce. The selling price of alcoholic products will not decrease, but the illusion is that it becomes cheaper as other costs continue to escalate. The revenue 'earned' through taxation is potentially enormous. The living (and working) dead are those who have money and the redistribution principle can only work on this part of the population.

The 'evergreening' of the product ethanol diverts an essential resource for the living to a source of wealth for the needy: the need for more wealth. A disease: terminal greed. Those that will condemn the global population to destruction simply in the attempt to 'make' more money.

An even greater advantage comes about by virtue of forcing open the back door to GM. Making it globally acceptable. A very cynical move, but quite predictable. Forcing GM onto a global public has not worked by persuasion so alternative methods must be used. The threat of food shortages will make the whole solution via GM look like a terrific piece of good fortune.


Create the situation and provide the solution

Exploitation of Man's own folly generates greater folly. The myopic become totally blind.
