The Most Terrifying Video You'll Ever See

The Most Terrifying Video You'll Ever See
Over 6,700,000 total views on various websites so far! But DON'T WATCH THIS VIDEO! I'm serious. This message isn't a hack (I'm the guy in the video), and it's not a ploy to get you to actually watch it (reverse psychology). It's just that there's a hole in this argument big enough to drive a Hummer through because of an assumption I didn't realize I had (isn't that just the way with assumptions. . .), and the argument has been UPDATED to address that hole. So instead of watching this old, tired, hole-y video, go watch the NEW, IMPROVED version at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF_anaVcCXg It's called "How It All Ends," and is backed up by literally HOURS of "Expansion Pack" videos, answering every single criticism, objection, "What If," "How About," and "You Missed a Spot," that I came across in reading the 7000+ comments (most of them critical) on various websites about the argument presented in this "The Most Terrifying Video You'll Ever See." So please, DON'T WATCH THIS VIDEO and then make some comment about Pascal's Wager or how this argument can be applied to any threat, no matter how ridiculous. Those, and literally EVERY OTHER OBJECTION I'VE EVER HEARD are answered in the bruisingly thorough series of videos backing up "How It All Ends." Even though I DON'T WANT YOU TO WATCH THIS VIDEO, I'm not taking it down, because I'm hoping it (and the comments attached) will become a small piece of history, as a precursor to the UNDENIABLE TOUR-DE-FORCE ARGUMENT that is the "How It All Ends" video project. So DON'T WATCH THIS VIDEO (have I made myself clear?) I'm hoping that it dies a nice, quite, peaceful death, fading into respected irrelevance. Instead, go watch the new, up-and-coming "How It All Ends" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF_anaVcCXg Once you get there--if you follow the index to the other videos--I think you'll find that I present an argument that you CANNOT poke a hole in. I've spent literally hundreds of hours discussing, researching, and refining my arguments to ensure that. And then, once you're convinced, do everything you can to spread the message--forward the video, leave comments, nominate it for awards, agitate for YouTube and others to feature it, mash it up, burn DVDs and hand them out like candy--hell, even record YOURSELF making the arguments, get famous doing so, and make lots of money--I don't care! Just get the ideas out there! So go ahead. Watch "How It All Ends," and its expansion pack videos, and try to poke a hole in the argument. I dare you. I DOUBLE-DOG dare you. (Ooooooo. . . .) And if you can't, then you may find yourself with a strong agitation to do something about the potential threat. In my experience, the only way to calm that agitation is to act on it. I've got a video for that, too. ;-) So go for it. ******BULLETIN (12DEC08): A NOTE ON THE ADVERTISEMENTS. Though my videos themselves are low-budget, I have given a tremendous amount to this project--in health, goodwill of my wife, and time with my two young daughters. (And yes, money for legal stimulants to stay awake.) Ive become so exhausted that I feel I do deserve something back for that; something more than the hazy feeling I maybe helped the world be a little bit better of a place. So I signed up for YouTubes ad program. If you think that blunts the message in the video, please tell me by sending me a message directly to my YouTube account. Ill monitor this decision, and take the ads down if they unduly detract from the message. ********** ****BULLETIN (10NOV08): Despite my best intentions to let go of this damn project and get back to my family, I gave in to a book agent's suggestion to turn these videos into a book. So, over a thousand dollars of Red Bulls later, "What's the Worst That Could Happen? A Rational Response to the Climate Change Debate" is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com. Go to http://tinyurl.com/WorstThatCouldHappen if you're interested. No guarantees, but I think it's much better than the videos Plus, you can help me recoup some of my Red Bull bill. :-) And give my wife something tangible for all the suffering I've put her and the kids through. ********

Global Campaign Against Sharia Law

Global Campaign Against Sharia Law
Over 4,000 signatures on the UK One Law For All Petition...Over 5,000 supporters of the Global Statement Against Sharia law. ANYONE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD CAN SIGN THIS PETITION Sign the UK One Law For All Petition and support the Global Statement against Sharia law: http://www.shariapetition.com/ Sharia law controls every single aspect of your private and public life. Girls from the age of puberty can be married. Shoplifting is punishable by amputation. Anyone who criticises the Qur'an or Mohammed can be legally murdered. You are not allowed to sing, or dance, or even laugh in public. Art, music and literature as we know them are simply not permitted. The legal witness of a man is worth more than a woman. Sharia law is not fundamentally different from other religious laws, but because it is part and parcel of a political movement with state power, its medieval rules become the laws of the land for millions. Sharia and all religious based laws are incompatible with the 21st Century; it is incompatible with any society that wants to maintain freedom and equality for all. During the enlightenment, our predecessors fought to remove the legal system from the biased grip of religion and pushed Christianity out of the public sphere; we must do the same again. We reject Sharia law because it is discriminatory, cruel and barbaric and demand an end to Sharia law across the world. We unequivocally support the struggle of people everywhere whether in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia or in Britain and the West, to oppose Sharia and live in secular societies, where at a minimum religion is a private matter and separate from the state, legal and educational systems and universal human rights and citizenship rights are guaranteed. That is why there is now a Global Statement Against Sharia Law to be found on shariapetition.com. This site will link you to all the national petitions and campaigns that again can be signed and supported by anyone in the world. The movement is starting with a global effort to support the UK national petition called One Law for All. The UK is in a similar position to that in which Canada found itself before 2005. In the UK, though, Sharia has already crept in and is being integrated into normal everyday legal systems under the initial guise of a viable arbitration mechanism. However, it must be stopped dead in its tracks right now. And be reassured, it is possible. It is not too late. Because of a similar petition and campaign supported globally by people all around the world, in 2005 Canada was able to remove this biased and unjust system of law and uphold equal and citizenship rights for all. A massive campaign is being organised in the UK to support this petition and drive this loathsome form of legalised inequality and prejudice from Britain too. Anyone in the world can sign the UK One Law for All petition and it is being supported by leading lights in the international fight for equality and freedom. All you have to do is go to shariapetition.com, acknowledge that you support the Global Statement Against Sharia Law and then sign the UK petition. Other national petitions are on their way, and will be accessed through the single global doorway of shariapetition.com. This will help further coordinate and support the crucial work being done against Sharia law in many different places. I want to encourage you to get every single person you know to go to that website - shariapetition.com - and sign the UK petition One Law for All. This is the time to act. The world's press and politicians will be monitoring the number of people who support the global statement against Sharia on shariapetition.com and this first and most urgent national petition, One Law for All, which aims to remove Sharia from the United Kingdom just like the previous petition and campaign successfully removed Sharia from Canada. We can and will make a difference. People everywhere deserve better. There can be no place for Sharia in the 21st century. Full Stop. Has there ever been a better time to make your voice count?

The Global Flat Tax Revolution

The Global Flat Tax Revolution
This mini-documentary from the Center for Freedom and Prosperity discusses the global flat tax revolution. There are now 24 flat tax jurisdictions (actually 25, but we didn't know about Trinidad & Tobago when the video was filmed), a remarkable development given the ideological opposition to tax reform from special interest groups and class warfare advocates. The six-minute video explains the key features of the flat tax revolution and highlights the reforms in Hong Kong, Estonia, and Iceland. The flat tax revolution has been especially strong in former Soviet-bloc nations, a rather ironic development since a so-called progressive income tax was a key tenet of Marx's Communist Manifesto.

Solar Tower - renewable energy green global warming

Solar Tower - renewable energy green global warming
SolarMission Technologies (www.solarmissiontechnologies.com) and its Australian subsidiary, EnviroMission Limited (www.enviromission.com.au) produced this 5 minute video on the pilot plant in Spain. It is an older video (2000) but gives a decent understanding of the solar tower concept. EnviroMission, Ltd. (US Market: EVOMY, Australian Exchange: EVM) is a renewable energy developer of sustainable "green" energy solutions for the energy market. EnviroMission aims to be one of Australia's leading producers of clean renewable energy. EnviroMission holds the proprietary rights to Solar Tower technology, a large-scale renewable energy technology based on simple fundamentals of physics -- hot air rises. Solar Tower technology has the potential to offer competitive renewable energy with equal reliability to fossil fuel generators. A single 200MW Solar Tower power station will provide enough electricity to power around 400,000 households. The energy output will represent an annual saving of more than 1,960,000 tonnes of greenhouse CO2 gases from entering the environment when compared to brown coal emissions in Victoria. The greenhouse savings equate to the removal of approximately 500,000 cars from the road. The Australian Solar Tower project consists of six distinct phases, the first two of which (project optimization and pre-feasibility commercialization) have already been completed. The third phase (final feasibility), paving the way for the implementation of the next three phases (final design, construction, and commercial operation).
