Coal, gas, oil, and atomic energy is destroying the planets livability and therefore the last forty-four years of ecological green revolution has brought into being the hi-tech tools to put in place wind, tidal, and solar power which transforms to electricity and is more power than can be used by society. This non-pollution solutiion is given freely in natures kinder laws and provides work for all and forever more. Viva socialist liberation. End pollution wars, not endless wars for more pollution.

The technology for pollution free transportation has existed in the form of electric motors since the late nineteenth century. Since the 1970's the electric motors existed for vehicles that could be plugged in and viola, no pollution solution. The problem is the big oil monopolies that the Bushco represent do not want them, and have declared green power as irrelevant to the American economy ( tens of thousands of Americans are killed every year Bushcos energy policies are in place). They are in fact committing a double crime by waring for pollution while suppressing the movement for clean green power, and committing the worst crime which is organizing and carrying out an agressive war against the independance and sovereignty of the countries of the middle east , Africa and Latin America. Super power number one, U.S. imperialism, has become the biggest killer of all times , and all empires. These war crimes being the worst ever (Jackson---Nuremburg Trials) it ought now to occur to the American people that they uphold the anti-fascist covenants, and their revolutionary constitution where it explains that if their elected government committs high crimes and misdeameanors that they must alter (impeach) or abolish it and replace it with a government that does serve the majority, that workes for the people and thereby elimanates the worst than high crimes but the supreme crime of all time , agressive war as foreign policy??? The worlds peoples are watchng and awaiting the American peoples response to the worst state terrorists and war criminals that the world has ever witnessed ( 58 million black Africans murdered since 1945 etc.). True liberation and genuine freedom as a full possibility programme begins with the dismantling of the war machine and its manufactury, not with becomming super-power number one on the basis of being the biggest seller and manufacturer, and user of WMD that holds world pollution, the deepest war on the planet, in place. Canadas first division says that. Peace and harmony equals disarmament and an end to war on the earth forever. Nuclear war insures the planets death. Peace.

It is true the peoples liberation does depend on eliminating the unjust violence against the planets livability, and workability, so the working majority can live in peace and harmony, Spartacus said that and Jesus agreed.
