The Government is Evil

"Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny." - Thomas Jefferson.

The government in the US is broken. It should serve the people, not itself.

"Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder." - George Washington.

This seems abundantly clear when we look at our government and it's relationship with big businesses including the health care industry and oil companies. Everyone is out to make a buck, and to hell with everyone else.

Universal Health Care

Michael Moore illustrated this well in his documentary, SiCKO. Moore says there are 4 health care lobbyist for every member of congress. Every politician with power to reform health care receives a generous cash reward for doing nothing. With the dollar amounts that they are paying out right now and high costs of drugs and medical treatments, the current system is far too profitable to change. The only people who want free universal health care... is everyone else, but who really cares about us? Not the government.


The Hydrogen Car

Is this really the best alternative fuel solution? Or is it simply the most profitable for those in power? In the film Who Killed The Electric Car? president George W. Bush is shown at a Shell station unveiling a new hydrogen gas pump for the new hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

Is Bush going against the wishes of the big oil companies? Not likely. It's more likely that he's their puppet. The plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is clearly a much better solution, but they destroyed all the plug-in electric cars because they posed a threat to oil revenue and fuel taxes. As long as the oil companies can still extract and distribute the new hydrogen fuel, then they are happy, and so is the government.

Note this image I got from howstuffworks.com's How Gas Prices Work page. Making money is so important to these people that they do whatever it takes to keep making money. Money is power after all.

The Water Car

There was a great man named Stanley Meyer who, nearly 20 years ago, invented an extremely efficient method for separating water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen on demand. However, he had a suspiciously abrupt death that "they" say was caused by a brain aneurysm. Until then, he was working with the government and NASA, and supposedly turned down big bribes from big oil. There are a slew of videos online of Meyer giving presentations on his technology, but sadly no one has continued his work. Everyone is stuck on using inefficient electrolysis to extract hydrogen from water, and that's just what they want us to do because that method has the highest potential for revenue.

If you have your own evil government story or if you disagree, please leave a comment.
