 because it's   too big to fail.  Translation..  when there is $ 550 
 trillion dollars in funny money (derivitives) in play out there ...

Isn't too big to fail just another mantra (a lie which to big to admit-to 
so we make it into dogma) ... i.e a dogma of the modern religion  which will 
become the NWO ?kinda like the other mantra: we're now a service economy 
and manufacturing jobs don't matter or international trade (sending our jobs 
to China) makes us all stronger.

Think about it ! What a sadly warped version of Fordism ! ... and we are 
being seduced-by these NWO controllers, almost without a whimper. By acting as 
if they are really only pushing traditional religion, they have instead been 
installing just the opposite.

How many Vorticians remember Fordism? It occurred to me recently, after talking 
to some college students, that one reason that such topics as the New World 
Order are not especially frightening to the younger generation goes back to 
the ultra-bland required reading lists in public schools these days. We seem 
to be systematically  taking all levels of any uncomfortable - the literary 
angst out of the curriculum. For better or for worse.

Huxley may no longer be on the reading list- too controversial, nor George 
Orwell nor Anthony Burgess, but instead we will find purple tripe by Alice 
Walker, and other noxious reading so espoused by Oprah, some of which can even 
win a Pulitzer. Go figure. 

Bottom line: We do not want to challenge young minds, or even suggest  the very 
real prospect that the future may NOT be very enticing, nor even preferable to 
the recent past, do we? 

The World State envisioned by Huxley is the kind of a prototype for the NWO, 
except that they  deal with the problem of demeaning work (i.e. manufacturing 
jobs) differently. After all, in the rejected novel, society is built around 
the principles of Henry 
Ford, who has become a Messianic figure in this brave dystopia.  IOW - Instead 
of opting for a blatant lie, like the desirability of a service economy 
Huxley manages to morally justify a permanent (nonrobotic) working caste i.e. 
the deltas, which is the product of selective degenerate breeding, not 
computer technology. 

It is either curious or evidence of little foresight- that the possibility of 
'thinking machines' was too far out there just 75 years ago,\ ... or else in 
hindsight, the installation of a hybridized human sub-class was deemed the most 
efficient way to handle the situation.

Anyway one feature of the Fordism style of dystopia is that from birth, the 
various castes- alphas on down, are indoctrinated by recorded voices repeating 
the appropriate slogans for their group while they sleep (called hypnopaedia 
in BNW) which along with their version of prozac:  soma becomes the new 
sacrament for class harmony. 

Wiki of course has an appropriate entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep-learning

Although BNW is most definitely a dystopia, I am not entirely sure that in a 
few ways, it does not have features which are preferable to our modern evolving 
version of the NWO - at least as it is being promoted behind the scenes by Wall 
Street and by their most trusted allies, the Bush NeoCons. And yes, Robin, in 
this regard, Bush is probably a plant in that he is largely unaware of how 
his personal vision of Utopia has been distorted by these financial geniuses 
and string-pullers. 

That is to say, he was most likely chosen for the job

It gets worse. The administration has not only made government bigger, 
they have made government part of the free enterprise system by printing 
money to keep large financial institutions from failing. This means that 
the lose will be shared by everyone who holds dollars. In other words, 
currency debasement is used to save an incompetent part of the 
capitalistic system. In the past when its currency was debased by a

Thin-film outfit Global Solar touts efficiency, seeks expansion funds 
Posted by Martin LaMonica | 2 comments  
The race is on to make most the cost-effective solar panel, and little-known 
Global Solar Energy says its flexible, thin-film cells have got the lead. 
Company president and CEO Mike Gering told investors at the recent Piper 
Jaffray's Clean Technology and Renewables Conference that the company is trying 
to raise $100 million in private equity to finance construction of two new 
plants--one in Tucson, Ariz., and one in Berlin. 

A flexible, thin-film solar cell from Tuscon, Ariz.-based Global Solar Energy.
(Credit: Global Solar Energy)
The company is one of several developing thin-film solar cells made from the 
combination of materials copper indium gallium and diselenide (CIGS). 
CIGS, one alternative to the dominant silicon solar cell, is fast becoming a 
substantial piece of the fast-growing solar business. Solar industry research 
firm Prometheus Institute for Sustainable Development estimates that thin film 
technology could represent 20-30 percent of solar cell production by 2010. 
Nanosolar, a well financed start-up from Silicon Valley, started shipping its 
CIGS solar cells late last year and they will be used in a solar power park in 
Germany. 
Nanosolar and Solyndra, another CIGS challenger, are said to be looking to 
raise significant amounts of money as well at very high valuations, according 
to rumors. One of the largest venture investments last year was another CIGS 
producer, Heliovolt. 
It used to be that CIGS technology was the next hope for thin-film PV 
(photovoltaics), but that point has been reached by Global Solar, Gering said, 
adding that others will reach that point. 
Gering discounted the progress of his competitors. That's not surprising, given 
that he is trying to raise money, but the company has been manufacturing for a 
few years already and all of its production for 2008 is already sold. 
Until now, the company has sold its cells for use in portable, flexible solar 
chargers for military use or to charge consumer electronics. 
But he said a bigger growth opportunity is in solar panels and 
building-integrated PV, where cells are baked into roofs or siding. To expand, 
it needs more capital to build a 40-megawatt plant in Tucson and a 35-megawatt 
plant in Berlin, Gering said. 
In addition, Global Solar claims to hold the CIGS efficiency crown for 
converting light to electricity. 
The company's products can now convert 10 percent of sunlight to electricity 
and the company claims it will get to 13 or 14 percent. 
For comparison, the most efficient silicon solar cells are in the 20 percent 
range. 
Meanwhile, Nanosolar CEO Martin Roscheisen disclosed that his company's cells 
operate in the 9 to 10 percent range. 
He, too, spoke at the Piper Jaffray conference, where he said that the company 
expects it can reach 15 percent efficiency ultimately. 
Our entire strategy is not based on delivering the most efficient panels. It's 
to deliver the most cost-efficient panels, he said. 
Roscheisen said the installed cost of the panels at the planned East German 
plant will be about $3 per watt. 
He added that the company expects it can make the entire system cost lower than 
stock market high-flier First Solar, which is considered the most 
cost-effective on the market today.
