America doesn’t have a plan that will work - Cricket Diane C Phillips - 2008

There isn’t a plan. That is a problem. It doesn’t matter if the Republicans get the job or the Democrats, there isn’t a real, workable comprehensive plan to solve the problems that are pressing. What we do have, is a lot of bickering, grand-standing and glad-handing to special interests, whether the teachers’ union or the oil companies.

Unfortunately, where there is a great amount of “what is broken” information now - but the actual plans being offered to solve these problems and issues are either already in use, already tried or already failing to do the job. These methods offered by specialists and experts, politicians and pundits, government officials and business leaders are all elements of plans that have created the problems thus far.

This means at a very basic level, we don’t have a plan that will work. None of them do and if there were any opportunity to create one that will work, it won’t be approached as a process because those in a position to do so are going to rely on things that already don’t work, but are known. These are the solutions being offered now by both sides.

Congress, Executive and Judiciary are our Team USA to solve problems - not create them

Team USA Needs To Be Solving Problems -
by Cricket Diane C Phillips, 09-04-08

When we sent people to Washington, we sent them to be our Team USA. There aren’t “two sides of the aisle”. They are sitting in official buildings we own and are all part of one team. That is why they are there.

We sent them there to spend our money wisely, to work as a team to serve our best interests and to accomplish what we alone could not. Our Congress, our Executive and our Judiciary are the Team USA that we placed there to fight the real enemies of our nation - not each other.

The real enemies are on our door steps. Evidence of these enemies is obvious. A capitalist nation cannot survive without a strong economic foundation. Our foundation and the structural tenets of that economy are crumbling. We are in danger of the harm which will come as a result. This is certainly a real enemy of our nation.

We are so completely dependent on gasoline as fuel that it is now a matter of national security. Any world power could shut off supply to our country in any great measure leaving us with a complete halt to life as we know it. Everything moves in our country by some form of petroleum. This, too, is a real enemy of our nation’s well-being and security.

Our national business assets are being sold off to foreign interests who may or may not favor us later. We will not be able to rebuild these. The jobs that were lost will not be reclaimed nor replaced. Competing with them in the marketplace, once these businesses belong to foreign interests, is unlikely. In every arena, our own businesses now owned elsewhere are competing against us for the same market shares. Since this undermines our employment base and our opportunities to realize business profitability, it is also an enemy to our nation’s sustenance.

Made in America has become known for shoddily made and overpriced. Too many recalls and unjustifiable harms, even deaths have come to those who bought products made in our recent profiteering environment. The real cost of our business interests making poor ethical choices for good profit reasons has dropped our global credentials to a pathetic level. This is definitely an enemy of the USA.

The cruelty, viciousness and complete disregard for others pervades every facet of American society. Lack of tolerance for diversity and differences has led to a land of terror for many, rather than of freedom. This has created abuses of civil and human rights everywhere in America over many years and increases each year. Clearly, this is an enemy worthy of fighting, too.

These are our real enemies. All of these items and more await on our doorstep. We elected leaders from among us to work as a team against these common enemies. What we have is a bunch of bickering demagogues who are fighting amongst themselves for their party’s interests and their own advantages.

And, meanwhile - solutions that might be enacted aren’t. People’s lives that could have been made better and more secure lay in ruin. Dismal consequences from unabated global ecological changes are unfolding. The opportunities for the US economy to be righted are missed. And, worst of all, the Team USA continues its bickering in every position from local and state governments all the way to the US Congress and the White House. Its as if it doesn’t matter as long as each party wins out over the other.

Now, our real enemies threaten to overtake us. We have solutions for many parts of them - these simply need to be placed into use. Together, we could work out the rest as we go.

Notes About Creating A Business In America - 2008 - Cricket Diane C Phillips

Here I am with a product that I’ve created. Its in a tangible form. It was listed on Ebay this last week and barely seen by anyone. This could be in stores. It would bring a smile to the face of customers and may keep them from being robbed at some point.

If nothing else, it could make money for me and for the stores selling it. This is the right timing for this product and it is distinctive - it has personality and character. It could easily be offered for the right price with a small profit. There are a number of retail store categories that could appropriately carry it.

So, now what?

To Publishers - blocked

To Trade Mart Stores - blocked

To Angel Investors - blocked

Directly To Market - blocked

To Retail Store Buyers - blocked

To Sell Rights To Someone Else To Use - blocked

To Promote It - Not blocked, but how?

To Sell Online - Online Availability - Not blocked by Fact, but Unseen for the multitude of info there

So, therefore - what possibilities truly exist whether I have a unique, sales-worthy product or not?

“If I had known that the only contribution allowable to me because I am a woman would be to clean the floors under the feet of my family and wash their clothes - I wouldn’t have bothered to learn calculus or business or physics.

If I’d known there will never be any money from any business I might create, would I have ever tried to create anything or worked so hard to learn how to make it work as a business? Probably not.

But, isn’t the truth of it that my efforts have proven it doesn’t work for me? Apparently the access available and the things I’ve studied from books for accessing the marketplace with products are blocked to me. That means that no matter what I write, it won’t ever be published in a book. I can create products distinguished and unique every day of my life and never see them making a profit for me. And, until I die in poverty, I will have lived in poverty each and every one of the days in my life.

Now, why didn’t they just tell me it would be that way when I was going to school? Wouldn’t it have been simpler to say to me that I would never have the opportunities available to men including value as anything besides the person to clean up after everyone?

Why didn’t the teachers and clergy and others just tell me that the world doesn’t need anything created by a woman and won’t pay anything for it if it is created by a woman? And, that I would have to work many times harder to make many times less for anything I might do because as a woman, society considers that to be okay?

Certainly not everything I create is ‘good enough’ to make it in the marketplace. But, some of it is and there is no reasonable access to bring it to the marketplace to find out if it would do well or not. That means, the truth about America is not that it is a land of opportunity but rather that it is not, except to those already positioned and in the right ‘class’ to accomplish it.

I am horrified to think about the forty some odd years wasted in the pursuit of this, the learning and re-learning after brain injury, the obscenely abusive relationships I’ve survived and all along there was no real chance of anything I’ve worked to do or to create actually making a living for me.

What kind of America is that? And, why couldn’t the teachers and society during my lifetime have simply told me it was like this? Why was I taught that every individual is valuable and has the opportunity to bring good things to the world, to make a living from their talents, to make a contribution to the world? Since apparently the considered basis for determining what are delusions of grandeur are those very things - why would anyone have taught me that bunch of shit?”

Getting around with no money - Cricket Diane C “Sparky” Phillips - 2008

Fixing your own durn cart, car or device for gettin around - (part2)
Cricket Diane C Phillips, 2007, 2008

* If I have a car that isn’t running right, which is usually - and the kind I got when I got no money - the first thing I do is check the sparkplugs.

* Its amazing what a little Dawn dish soap will do.

* I had a car that got four miles to the gallon when I got it. I finally got rid of it when it was getting four gallons to the mile and two quarts of oil to even get going.

* I think 30 biscuits to the mile is about what I get now. That’s ‘cause I’m walking.

* The number one best way to save on gas money is to get rid of the durn car and walk where you’re going.

* Its easier too, but don’t expect to do it without a drivers’ license. Apparently walking any distance from your own driveway in the United States requires identification or sitting in jail and paying a fine becomes your new got no money vacation opportunity.

The idea I like from my brainstorming battery ideas - Cricket Diane C “Sparky” Phillips - 2008

I like the idea of making nano particles in a semi-permeable skin using the elements of existing batteries. It could make more storage capacity possible and the changes to manufacture batteries this way could be added for a reasonable start cost.

This would be taking battery plates and making nanoparticles in place of them held in positions just as they are now but using a specialized permeable skin to hold them in solution. Could make any of the existing designs and technology for batteries we currently have, more efficient because of the increased surface area.

Gold nanoparticles give off heat according to some things I’ve read but how could that increase battery capacity or heat homes or fuel cars? Carbon nanoparticles have interesting properties but how viable are they in production?

My other favorite idea from the brainstorming possibilities for fuel alternatives is to make more direct and even amplified changes from input power to mechanical power. It seems that would be helpful.

Brainstorming battery and energy ideas - Cricket Diane C Phillips - 2008

Shopping List -
2008 Needs (for energy, fuel, transportation and others)
Cricket Diane C Phillips, 2008

Dynamic propulsion
Battery System - An efficient way to store electrical energy
solar-direct power harvesting
Heat-direct conversion & storage
Photon gathering equipment & useful energy from photons directly or by conversion
DC / AC - electromagnetics / alternators and generators / turbines
Mechanical force and friction force efficiencies
Quantum mechanisms used for power, energy, fuels, propulsion, etc.
Known hydro-electric systems / steam run turbines

–> Solar generator prototype (mine) reworked
–> Ribbon elevator power mechanism @ 1 meter / second (solar, air, wind, atom, chemical, hypermagnetics)
–> That same carbon “nano” tube ribbon used as tracks for transportation system (on ground)

Converting chemical energy into electrical energy and harnessing the conversion
Symbiosis / symbiotic electrical mechanisms
–> A super density solid spinning at 10,000+rpm has a gravitational yield? Of how much lift?
–> Sulfur dioxide compounds (airborne) as fuel? How to convert at room temp? At high tem? In existing car engine systems - what catalyst would be required using normal pressures?

Applied mechanics to amplify power inputs
see image - triangle with C (carbon) on top point, O (oxygen) at right point, and H (hydrogen) at left base point. Stage one reaction with carbon, stage two using oxygen and third stage with hydrogen. Three-reaction system for propulsion

Strange chemistry / store electricity another way (as light / photons), (as 3-dimensional harnessing “grid”), (as sound waves?), nanoparticles storage system in molecular sieve

–> why couldn’t existing battery technology be used but exchange nanoparticles held in place by semi-permeable skin? It would increase storage capacity exponentially, (regular lead / acid batteries et al.) - it would have to be easier than what is already being done.

d/c power systems could be created more directly from sunlight and from nuclear power technologies while still using a/c - producing systems as they are simultaneously  - see notes

airplanes are heating the cold surfaces (external) and cooling hot surfaces by mechanic / thermo electric systems - why not take the temperature differential from one to fix the other and vice versa - couldn’t that save significant power (also harness exhaust for re-use as fuel in flight)

–> using a laser to heat water - what happens to photons in that process? Could this process turn a turbine for power generating? Do photons have enough power to be stored and used - doesn’t bio-luminescent systems use such a system?

–> what has been done on this already? Does it heat or alter a shaft of air =/- in the surrounding column of laser emission?

–> there has to be a lot of charged material for column effects of electricity (such as in lightning) - are there any materials that could be used to intentionally harness this affect? Would they be stable? - could they be made stable enough to handle?

–> is there a way to harness electric effects from plasma globes? Lightning machines? What has been done along these lines?

–> 2 - 3 volt miniature motor made by Japanese shown in 1992 (less than three inches length)? In tandem to move or enhance motion?
