Post by t***@taxrefusal.comPost by Day BrownI see Kunstler came out with another apocalyptic book. seems like one
comes out every month now. Its easy to make the case that TSHTF, but
what to do about that seems to be limited to ammo, guns, food, and
gas.
But whether all that will do you any good depends on where you are to
start with, where you go, and who will be there ahead of you. There's
a lotta infantry vets in the Ozarks who know how to setup an ambush.
It wont be like a movie or video game; you dont get to drive and shoot
at the same time, and those shooting back are not as stupid.
I aint so sure stocking a bunker is such a good idea either. those
I've seen posting seem like they'd go postal after a few weeks.
So- has anyone written a more thot out response to societal collapse?
Not that it is much different apprach, but you might want to read the

"Yet, there is no other known energy source, individual or collective,
that will be able to replace / supplant the energy now supplied to us
by conventional oil."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_power
"Fusion power commonly proposes the use of deuterium, an isotope of
hydrogen, as fuel and in many current designs also use lithium.
Assuming a fusion energy output equal to the current global output and
that this does not increase in the future, then the known current
lithium reserves would last 3000 years, lithium from sea water would
last 60 million years, and a more complicated fusion process using
only deuterium from sea water would have fuel for 150 billion years."

Now THAT is "change I can believe in". Yet the award for the most

Gee, I wonder why Barry Soetoro, Hillary Clintonstein and John McBush
haven't addressed such a potentially huge, Earth-changing topic.....- Hide quoted text -

Unfortunately, the development of "Fusion Power" is no more advanced
today than it was some 50 years ago.
Evidently you didn't bother to check out the links I posted. If you
had then you would have learned that lasers are used in one of the two
leading fusion technologies, and was even used to initiate the first
controlled deuterium/tritium fusion reaction. And, of course, we all
know that the laser was invented in 1960..... only 48 years ago. And
the continuing advancement of superconductors has been critical to the
refinement of magnetic containment technology. To me that sounds like
some significant advancements. It certainly isn't progressing as fast
as fission, but it's hardly stalled as you suggest.
Post by t***@taxrefusal.comIn fact, France has given up on its massive investment towards that
goal.
Evidently you didn't bother to check out the links I posted. If you
had then you would have learned that the EU is heavily invested in
fusion technology. Considering the fact that 80% of the electricity in
France comes from fission reactors, I don't think they are turning
their backs to the prospect of fusion. Nor to the obvious economic
benefits of possibly being one of the first countries to have and
develop a practical fusion technology.
Post by t***@taxrefusal.comWhile this is not the forum to address such matters,
This topic is very relevant to this forum, since some of the most
likely global disaster scenarios are centered around energy (or,
rather, the lack thereof). And the best way to survive a disaster is
to prevent the disaster before it happens.

enters the equation. One that we have not yet solved.
Evidently you didn't bother to check out the links I posted. If you
had then you would have learned that the two major sticking points are
power amplification and plasma confinement. Once those are solved, say
goodbye to Exxon, Chevron and Saudi Arabia. And war. And famine. And
overpopulation. And global warming. And......
Post by t***@taxrefusal.comHowever, given sufficient time, it is entirely possible that future
day scientists will make "Fusion Power" possible.
Or maybe the problem will be solved next year by a couple bicycle
mechanics from Akron!!!
Post by t***@taxrefusal.comWith it, we won't
have to rely on ill advised attempts to secure such as "Thorium" or
"Lithium" or "Deuterium" and a few other "iums" from the sea or
elsewheres.
...."ill advised"? And how did Thorium get into this conversation? I
thought I ditched her at the party.....
Post by t***@taxrefusal.comReaders wishing to be brought to date with regard to the current state
of "Fusion Power" need but access "Energyresources" via Yahoo groups.
Therein you shall find posts by some of the world's leading
scientists. Scientists who have been associated with "Fusion Power"
since the day it first made the news.
Evidently you didn't bother to check out the links I posted. If you
had would would have learned that fusion, and its potential, has been
publically known since well before WWII. Which would mean that these
"scientists" to which you refer are either heavily oxygenated nursing
home residents or net-surfing ghosts.
Post by t***@taxrefusal.comYou also may wish to contact Lawrence B.Crowell, an American nuclear
physicist and frequent poster to that group, with respect to any
questions.
No thanks, I think I'll rely on the more objective opinions from the
consensus of the -living- and -practicing- scientific community.

Perhaps you should limit your focus to tax evasion instead of dabbling
in topics that are beyond your sphere of influence.- Hide quoted text -

I suggest that you read your reply, come to the conclusion that all
expectations of "success" with respect to the development of "Fusion
Power" are exactly as you state: "Expectations".
Indeed, you acknowledge the FACTUAL reality of my response, exposing
the FACTS that we are nowheres near understanding what must be done in
order to be able to RELY on "Fusion Power", when you state:
" Or maybe the problem will be solved next year by a couple bicycle
mechanics from Akron!!! "
With respect to your asertion that "dabble" in "Tax Evasion", such
defines you as either a fool, a coward or both; as the "Tax Refusal"
is a determined attempt, first launched on "Remeberance Day" (November
11, 1978), to force "Humanity" to make a decison with respect to the
toptal USE or DISMANTLING of al nuclear and other weapons of mass
murder.
Mr. Gilliland, there are far too many on the net who, enslaved to
their egos and false beliefs that they are "intelligent beings", are
determined to avoid having to actually "think" about the subject
matter.
A long term member of the "Energyresources" group (I joined when Jay
Hanson first started it. Tom Robertson is now our esteemed moderator.)
I am quite aware of all matters pertaining to the now unavoidable
collapse of our civilization due to the finite nature and depletion of
the fossil fuels we so direly depend upon to fuel our greed driven but
unattainable goal of "Sustainable growth".
Perhaps your desire to stroke your ego by attacking / mocking others
might cause you to investigate my offer of a $100,000.00 reward to the
first person who could _prove_ the existence of any combination of
"Alternative Power" that will permit us to continue as we were doing,
worlwide, on July 4th, 2001, before the accelerating rate of depletion
of fossil fuels (and our increasing dependence on such) leads us to
suffer all-out war, including the use of all nuclear and other weapons
of mass murder, followed by a Hobbesian "War Of All Against All".
However, please be aware that, due to my belief in the year 2000 that,
by September 2005 there would be no one so stupid and / or ignorant of
our precarious position and the reality that we are "screwed" beyond
belief and that there is "No Solution" to the crisis other than to
suffer the anticipated "Dieoff", that I used that date as the "Cutoff"
date after which I would no longer entertain or accept possible
"proofs" that there might be a solution to our lethal / fatal
quandary.
However, seeing that you choose to look down upon people and do so
with no factual reason to believe that you are "capable and
intelligent", I open that "OFFER" to you, solely "you".
Should you be able to develop an outline, in keeping with the laws of
"Thermodynamics", that suggests that, by a necessary reliance on
whatever combination of "Alternaive Energy sources", we may be able to
avoid wanting to / having to murder each other by the millions in
order that such as your political masters may have a chance of
surviving what such as "you" permitted them to develop, I shall pay
you that amount.
There is one catch, and solely one catch:
You must put up the money to pay for one-half the cost of having three
"Recognized Scientists" evaluate your purported claims. I shall put up
the other half and, if you are correct (An impossibility), I shall pay
you that reward, plus the one-half of the amount that you will have to
put up to have your claims supported and approved by individuals who
KNOW what they are doing (As opposed to the blather that you presently
offer).
With regard to your ignorance of the "Tax Refusal" and what its stated
goals are, you need but access http://www.taxrefusal.com . . . and
start reading . . . and "thinking".
Speaking of which:
The Tax Refusal is built on one argument:
That "The Rule Of Law" is based on the duty of all to
refuse to be party to murder.
Indeed it is my most serious claim that:
"All have a lawful duty to refuse to support their society if that
society is participating in plans and preparations that are
predicated on a will and capacity to be party to mass murder."
Ergo: The Tax Refusal can't be defeated.
It continues to grow and shall achieve its stated goal.
Thank you.
To a safer, saner and more caring world.
To Duty.
