Donald Trump erupted at the United Kingdom Tuesday morning over its refusal to join the United States in its war against Iran, issuing the European nation a notice that the United States would no longer be offering it “help.”

“All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.

    I remember (from an energy conference sometime around 2002-4(?)), a sentiment shared by Patent Office whistle blower Tom Valone, something to the effect of: “By the year 2000 there had already been over 3000 free energy device patents secreted”.

    And some people still think if any such innovation existed, we’d have it. Oblivious to how big energy orchestrates the market to maintain our dependence on manufactured-scarce energy sources they can put a meter on. Even though Nikola Tesla wanted to power the world for free, a century ago.

    We have so much headroom without the crooks.

    Someone please explain to the billionaire parasites, even they can be better off with the emancipatory technologies de-secreted, availed, and provisioned, to each and all.

    Among the many benefits: No more circularly reasoned “resource wars”.
