Creepy Energy Conservation of the Day: A crematorium in Durham is reportedly set to install turbines in at least two of its burners in order to generate electricity from the energy produced during the cremation process.
If this story sounds familiar, it’s probably because a crematorium down the road in Redditch proposed using the heat from burning bodies to warm a local swimming pool earlier this year.
Durham plans to sell unused electricity to the National Grid.
“We calculate that we will have far more electricity than we can possibly need so we would be feeding a reasonable amount into the grid,” said the crematorium’s superintendent, Alan José. “If there is genuine spare capacity to generate electricity then we are certainly interested in investigating that. And if it was thought to be acceptable in the eyes of the public we would almost certainly pursue that.”
The Daily Telegraph says industry experts predict other crematoriums might follow in Durham’s footsteps.
The upgrade is part of a wider effort to reduce harmful emissions with the installation of new furnaces. At least one burner will be fitted with a “heat recovery system,” allowing the facility to heat itself with its own handiwork.

The funny part is that if we do not do anything we are the ones that will suffer. Stop sitting on your ass and agreeing with what others say on the internet and start telling others in real life. One day we will have the choice to stand up for what we believe in or not, and on that day we will need to know this information so that we can all back each other up and make a change for the better.

Still under the misapprehension that we actually have a dichotomous political system in this country instead of one big puppet following a global agenda? Hm. Interesting. Would you like to buy a bridge?

Here is our chronology:

  • 2003Bush2 enacts EO13335 electronic medical records to begin the data collection on all US citizens to be fully functional by 2014.
  • 2004—SMART Grid is in planning stages
  • 2005Security & Prosperity Partnership signed by Bush 2, calling for SMART grid to cover Canada, the US and Mexico.                                                              
  • 2005REAL ID signed into law. The system will rely on digital information data gathering, storage and sharing transmissions and is still being pushed by HSD.
  • 2005TSA Secure Flight imposed by HSD.  Digital passports. Includes biometric markers, iris scans, finger prints and real time comparison through newly developing digital systems.
  • 2007–Smart Grid Title (Title XIII) of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007  Title X111  is the SMART GRID surveillance plan.
  • 2008Economic Stabilization Act—-A Corporate funding bill to begin the full scale roll out of SMART meters and necessary digital technology.  Also shifted tax liabilities from energy corporations to ratepayers (taxpayers).
  • 2008Stimulus Package—Billions more in corporate funding and subsidies for SMART meters and SMART technology/net metering/monitoring.  Projected date for full implementation is 2012, or 2014 at the latest. 
  • 2009—The conversion to all digital communications to facilitate the monitoring of all surveillance, communications, healthcare, personal identity, and surveillance programs and systems.  
  • 2010Obamacare passes and is signed into law.  A breach of the Constitution.  Calls for RFID chips/nanotechnology to be inserted into implantable medical devices.  Relies on HEALTH CARE SMART grid for collection, storage and dissemination of private health records to interested stakeholders.  To be fully operational by 2014.
  • 2010—-S:510 The fake food safety bill passes with one unanimous vote by “Dirty Harry” Reid (D)NV.  The bill calls for the eventual chipping and tracking of all livestock, domestic food shipments, packaging, and other material so that everything produced can be tracked from farm to fork with a heavy emphasis on targeting independent and family AG operations in order to render them unviable; the surveillance to be facilitated by a sector of the SMART grid digital system.

This is by far, not all that has come out of CRAPital Hill concerning the attempts to track and identify, to harass and intimidate each one of us.  But what is apparent in this short chronology is that every attempt is being made by Republicans and Democrats alike to establish a total surveillance society wherein the government controls what we eat, what we do in our homes and businesses, what kind of healthcare we can receive, where we go and what we do while we are there, all financial transactions, all travel information, and even the air we breathe; all tracked and recorded.

The SMART Grid in all its incarnations is the embodiment of “big brother”: the total police state.

Now this is just ridiculous. I am sick and tired of being manipulated by the media! Why is it that I believe in my countrymen so much and that I want the best for all of us yet I have to live in a country where the media is allowed to control so much of what we perceive as the truth and as what is actually important. 
I say it is time to wake up America. The coffee isn’t going to get any fresher and the hard truth is that no amount of coffee will help you sober up more than the truth.

"I was there to take down the names of people who were arrested… As I’m standing there, some African-American woman goes up to a police officer and says, ‘I need to get in. My daughter’s there. I want to know if she’s OK.’ And he said, ‘Move on, lady.’ And they kept pushing with their sticks, pushing back. And she was crying. And all of a sudden, out of nowhere, he throws her to the ground and starts hitting her in the head,” says Smith. “I walk over, and I say, ‘Look, cuff her if she’s done something, but you don’t need to do that.’ And he said, ‘Lady, do you want to get arrested?’ And I said, ‘Do you see my hat? I’m here as a legal observer.’ He said, ‘You want to get arrested?’ And he pushed me up against the wall."

Just to show that it was not always this way. Do not believe that it is just the way life is. It is a trick.

PART ONE

Marijuana is currently a hot topic in the media. Several states, including my home state of Arizona, will be voting on this issue in November. I for one am opposed to the decriminalization of marijuana and its use for “medical” purposes for a number of reasons,…
