Making the World a Better Place

 

 

Twice during my life time I have had blood sugar levels higher than the maximum recommended by the medical profession. Both times I have taken up body building in order to loose weight, and it was found that the blood sugar levels dropped to low levels within six months of beginning the exercises; both times I had little difficulty persuading my Doctors to start body building classes for patients. I have been reliably informed that these classes have saved lives. For the record, I exercise at home on my own with a Bullworker, but many people find they need active encouragement to exercise, in which case a Gym would be the answer.

Taking 'Laughter Therapy' to the Next Level

5 December 2010

Dr Lee Berk of Loma University Medical Centre, California, has been conducting laughter therapy research since the late 1970s. In 1989, Berk studied the effects of laughter in 10 healthy males. Five experimental subjects watched an hour-long comedy while five control subjects didn't. Blood samples taken from the 10 subjects revealed that cortisol (the hormone our body releases when under stress) in the experimental subjects had decreased more rapidly in comparison to the control group. Berk's research has also shown that the level of natural killer cells (a type of immune cell that attacks virus and tumour cells) is increased through laughter. These same cells are suppressed if the body suffers consistent long-term stress.

Researchers at the University of Michigan have also calculated that just 20 seconds of laughter could be as good for the lungs as three minutes spent on a rowing machine. Other health benefits have been found.

The benefits of laughter have been recorded as far back as the Old Testament. The Book Of Proverbs 17:22 states ''Being cheerful keeps you healthy. It is slow death to be gloomy all the time.''

Some laughter therapists have found that just making the noise of laughter without finding anything funny to laugh at is enough to improve health. The body cannot differentiate which is which. I have been interested in humour since a child and find it to be the next best thing to being in love, and have come up with two inventions that give a large dose of laughs without the need of wit to start it off. The first is based on two warnings I got as a child not to put alcohol into a 'Soda Stream', and not to drink alcohol through a straw. I decided that I would try both at the same time to see what happened. Wine was put into the Soda Stream, which then added CO2. When drunk through a straw hysterical laughter ensue, and when the laughter subsides you feel much better than you did before you started.

The second way to achieve hysterical laughter is to blow one lung full of cigarette smoke into a party balloon, and then to hyperventilate with the balloon. Again laughter ensues and you feel much better for the experience. Both of these methods of improving emotional well being are legal at the moment, although I have had balloons confiscated by the British police on several occasions. (The Masonic Lodge is not the most fun filled religion that I have come across.) However, if you do not drink or smoke I do not recommend that you start by using these laughter makers, just put on an old 'Monty Python' film.

How We Can Feel Younger

26 August 2010

One of the side-effects of the Kadir-Buxton Method  is that the patient feels younger after the treatment, combined with an improvement in libido. Organisations have been set up to help increase the length of time that we live. I would suggest that the quality of life is just as important, and the Kadir-Buxton Method must be a tool in any attempt to increase the length of life. If we were to live longer we would have the tendency to carry on deteriorating mentally, but this can be stopped. When the Queen Mother was in her 70s she mentioned to me that she would give £1 million to look 21 again. I asked her how much she would give to feel 21 again, and the reply was that she would give £1 million. I explained the Kadir-Buxton Method and the Queen Mother was agreeable to my procedure. Afterwards I asked how old she felt and was told she felt like she was 24. So near and yet so far!

Simple Cure For Verrucas

3 August 2010

Verrucas are a common problem, but one that did not go away easily for me. I had tried both Salicylic Acid and Cryotherapy, with little effect. What I did not know was that whether you get verrucas or not depends upon your immune system a lot of the time. Soon afterwards I was trying a treatment that is supposed to prevent you catching the common cold, namely 1000 milligrams of Vitamin C twice a day. I knew Vitamin C boosted the immune system and used it as part of my treatment for HIV/AIDS for many years. I found that the Vitamin C gave my immune system enough of a boost to eliminate my verrucas without further treatment. And that saved a lot of time and money for me.

Stopping The Tax Dodgers

4 April 2010

Tax dodgers use devilishly complex methods to do their deeds. So you might think any way of stopping them would have to be equally intricate.

Fortunately, there are three simple things that the politicians in rich nations could set up right now (and they would benefit from doing them too!).

The Robin Hood tax is difficult to dodge in the first place and raises the billions we need right now to clean up after the financial crisis. Country by country reporting and automatic information exchange give us transparency, the one thing that makes it impossible for slippery corporations to dodge their bills.

1) The Robin Hood Tax

In a recent newspaper poll Robin Hood was voted the third favourite UK politician of all time. Robin Hood is famous for sticking up for ordinary folk when they need it most. At a time of financial crisis, we have brought him back to make sure that people here in the UK and in developing countries do not pay to clean up the mess.

There is a campaign for a tiny tax on banks that would create billions of dollars for UK public services and tackling poverty abroad.

The tax would apply to financial transactions- that is the buying and selling of currencies, stocks and shares by banks. Millions of these transactions happen daily, so just a tiny tax of 0.05% per transaction would raise around £250 billion ($400bn) each year. With a mere $30 billion of that, we could halve hunger by 2015.

How it works

The Robin Hood Tax is a tiny tax on banks, hedge funds and other finance institutions that would raise billions to tackle poverty and climate change, at home and abroad.

It can start as low as 0.005 per cent -- and average 0.05 per cent . But when levied on the billions of pounds sloshing round the global finance system every day through transactions such as foreign exchange, derivatives trading and share deals, it can raise hundreds of billions of pounds every year.

And while international agreement is best, it can start right now, right here in the UK.

That can help stop cuts in crucial public services in the UK, and aid the fight against global poverty and climate change.

Why now?

Because of the financial crisis, frontline services at home -- like the NHS and our schools -- are under fire.

At the same time, poor communities and the environment are being hit hard -- as aid and green budgets are slashed by rich countries.

So it is time for the people who caused this mess to pay to clean it up.

Who is Supporting Us?

Gordon Brown, Angela Merkel (the German Chancellor) and Nicolas Sarkozy (the French President) have all spoken out in support of a tax on financial transactions.

Plenty of famous business people are on-board too. Lord Turner (from the Financial Services Authority), George Soros (the philanthropist) and Warren Buffet (US businessman extraordinaire) have all backed transaction taxes. And then there are the hundreds of economists who have backed the idea, too.

This is not some crazy pipe-dream. It's a simple and brilliant idea which transcends party politics and which -- with your support -- can become a reality.

2. Country-by-country reporting

At the moment, a company is only obliged to report its overall consolidated financial results - even though it has made up of a huge bunch of subsidiaries.

With this dearth of detail, tax inspectors cannot tell which countries the actual work has been done in, so they have no idea if the tax received in each country is fair.

But, if the company had to report on a country by country basis tax inspectors could see where the company actually trades and the taxes it is paying. So, they could ask questions like "Did just one person in Switzerland really make £10m for the company?", "Were all those bananas from the Costa Rican plantation really only worth £50m?" And of course, "Why did we not have access to this information before?!"

Chances are, the company would get a visit from revenue staff in Costa Rica and the UK.

 

3) Automatic Information Exchange

Right now, if a tax authority in one country thinks a company - or a person, for that matter - is on the dodge, it is very hard for them to get basic financial information from tax authorities in other countries.

That is because even basic information is not automatically shared between all legitimate tax authorities. Instead they have to ask for it, giving quite a lot of detail to explain why they are suspicious. Worse, they can only ask countries that they've already signed a treaty with.

Assembling a big enough dossier of information to convince the other country to give you the information you want costs a bomb, which makes it almost impossible for poor countries to tackle international tax dodging.

Worse still, when the G20 pressed the tax havens to sign at least 12 treaties each, they promptly set about signing them with each other and the mighty economic powers of the Faroe Islands and Greenland - just to make up the quota. They are obviously not taking it seriously. But we are.

A Simple Cure for Stammering

 

21 March 2010

When I was 14 my natural parents decided on a divorce and the stress this news caused induced a stammer in me. I remember distinctly a school teacher and my own natural father enjoyed putting me under pressure in order to make me stammer more. That was, until I read comedian Michael Bentine's book: 'The Long Banana Skin' which, amongst other things, explained a cure for the stammers that had fallen out of use years previously. I gave it a go and was soon cured. The method used the fact that people, even with the very worst stammers, were able to sing perfectly. The patient is encouraged to sing a sentence, and then by using intonation gradually make the sentence sound more and more like speech until the listener can only hear a spoken word. When the patient uses this method for a while the singing like speech becomes 'stuck' and a cure is affected. Three weeks of catching up with the quantity of speech missed out on follows.

The Population Explosion

25 December 2009

The world population is around 6.7 billion and is predicted to hit the 9 billion mark by 2050, putting a massive strain on resources and increasing CO2 emissions. But this does not have to be the case if we act soon.

It has been found by those digging water wells in the Third World that the local population responds to free water by a drop in the Birth Rate to Western Levels within three months of the water well being dug, this is known as the Buxton Gap. So we now have a cheap and simple method of liberating women in the Third World.

Scientists in the field have been looking for a free or cheap contraceptive device for years. And it has been found. By scratching a woman's back pleasurably at the same time as making love the womb lining is shed at orgasm, and this only has to be done once every cycle.

Provided that everyone is given a free supply of water and educated into this novel contraceptive method then we should have no further problems with population expansion. But nothing in this world is perfect so we must increase food production.

'Crow's Footing,' which is a way of planting seeds that was told to me by my grandfather is what the world needs. Instead of planting seeds in a set distance between rows (in squares) we can use equilateral triangles to plant the seeds. The rows are closer together but the seed rows are planted out of sync with the rows on either side. In this way I found it possible to increase food production by 30%. This is an interesting statistic for those in agriculture. Not only can the amount of 'cash crops' be increased, but more importantly, so can subsistence crops, which are much more important.As you will be aware, this invention will cut the amount of insecticide and fertilizer per plant, which in turn cuts the cost of food production and pollution.

 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Cutting Heating Bills by 50%

1 November 2009

From the moment that we switch our radiators on half of the heat given off by them is lost as it goes into the wall behind them. We can, however, get around this problem with an invention from a then schoolboy that got onto the 'Tommorow's World' program decades ago. He had learned from School that heat is given off by way of conduction, convection, and radiation, so when his Grandmother had problems meeting her heating bills the schoolboy reasoned that heat loss due to conduction and convection could be stopped by putting a lining of cardboard covered with silver cooking foil behind his Grandmother's radiators. Heat loss through the wall is now slashed, and rooms heat up faster when the heating comes on. The Fire Brigade said at the time that the cardboard was not a fire hazard as behind the radiator is the least damaged part of a room in the event of a fire. And this saving cuts the CO2 emissions of your house. I have done this, why don't you?

How to Cure a Psychopath

4 October 2009

The difference between psychopaths and anyone else in society is that psychopaths love themselves, and so their actions do not have such an impact on their conscience. Their prime motivation is that the evil they cause is all right because it is fun. As a Christian I know that the Bible teaches us that in order to become a Christian you must first hate yourself. So it was simple for me to develop an hypothesis that in order to cure a psychopath all one would have to do is to turn their self-love into hate.

There are two ways to do this. For the professional treating a psychopath the Kadir-Buxton Method is used to stun the patient, and while the patient is stunned their voice is emulated and they are told in the first person to hate themselves instead of love themselves. When the patient comes to they suddenly behave like any normal person.

The other way, which can be used on partners is to wait until the psychopath is asleep and then mimic their voice in the first person telling them to hate themselves instead of love themselves. On a following night you can always put into their mind that they want to join their local Church, where they can learn a better mode of behaviour.

Good On Yer Don

5 August 2009

 

Don Matthews (pictured) is an old work colleague of mine, and a concerned citizen. He was a lecturer in Chemistry for many years, and has his own gardening business. So he became interested in garden stores advertising about the claimed 'recyclability' of poly rainwater tanks. They say that UV-degraded tanks can be recycled but cannot produce any evidence. The principles of chemistry say recycling degraded plastic is not possible and evidence from a major manufacturer confirms this to be correct. Sunlight eventually breaks down plastic making it brittle and lose all its strength. The long-chain polymer molecules which allow plastic to be moulded and give it its strength and rigidity are ruptured by UV light. No amount of added UV stabilizers will prevent the chemical degradation process from occurring. Essentially the plastic disintegrates and loses all its properties. As a result Don says that it cannot be remoulded .

Don: "I believe the recycling story is a myth, invented by some salesperson to satisfy a greenie customer and is being perpetuated by the industry sales machine. When they talk about recycling they mean non-degraded plastic, which can and is being recycled. This has nothing to do with a degraded tank at the end of its life. Sunlight breaks down plastic making it brittle and fall apart and no technology exists to reverse the process. Degraded tanks cannot be recycled and the industry cannot provide any evidence to the contrary.

In 15+ years millions of unrecyclable tanks will be lying around creating an environmental problem. What is the industry doing to address this? Absolutely nothing. They won't even acknowledge a problem exists. They want us to think everything is OK and that recycling is all under control. Why? Because it eases their conscience and makes everyone feel environmentally comfortable. Sadly sales and the dollar have become more important than care for the environment."

Don has started up his own campaign, and has been banned from a gardening store for asking sensible questions about the poly tanks that they sell, and has also been banned from his local library for wanting to do research on the subject. He also writes to the manufacturers of poly tanks with little by way of science in any of the replies he gets back.

If you would like to support Don in his efforts you can hear more from the Australian Poly Tank Concerned Individuals Group at:

 Carbon Capture Asphyxiation

31 July 2009

Dinosaur fossils are often found in mass graves because they die together as they are all asphyxiated by large releases of CO2. The population density of the dinosaurs is less than that of modern humans and yet politicians are pushing for the use of carbon capture for coal fired power stations in an attempt to make them clean. And the storage facilities for the CO2 cannot be made safe. During the 1980s the Conservative Government attempted to find areas in the UK where waste from the nuclear industry could safely be stored for long periods of time. The conclusion of the geologists was that nowhere in the UK was geostable enough for the job. It therefore is not geostable enough to store CO2 for the same length of time. Even if the CO2 is buried under the sea the wind could blow a CO2 cloud over land and suffocate thousands.

Catalytic converters collect CO2 from vehicle emissions and then give it off again as the catalytic converter degrades on the scrap heap and thus passing our pollution on to future generations, and carbon capture does the same thing. It is very poor politics that allows this to happen. Tony Blair has boasted that he has read many Near-Zero CO2 Plans but in ten years adopted none. Mine, for example usually got a 'your comments have been noted' standard reply, sometimes with a leaflet on how to get a small government grant to implement all of my plan myself, never once did I get rational debate about my concept from any politician. My petitions get ignored.

In order to keep global warming under 2 degrees C we need to cut CO2 emissions to Near-Zero now, and then take out the CO2 we have created and the best technology for this appears to be the 2500 year old invention of biochar. The British Government are waiting for the market to do all this when such a large product needs central planning. In the meantime future generations are to be choked to death by present day politicians with their incremental errors.

Solar Cooker Wins Environmental Competition

21 April 2009

A cardboard cooker which uses the sun's energy to boil water has won a global competition for the best innovation to tackle climate change. Jon Bohmer won £51,000 in the FT Climate Change Challenge backed by the FT, HP and Forum for the Future, to develop his idea.

The "Kyoto box" aims to save lives in poor countries by allowing people to cook without having to cut down trees or gather sticks for firewood. Its creator, Kenyan-based Jon Bohmer, says his invention could halve the need for firewood, saving two tons of carbon for each family that uses it per year and thus saving trees which we need to combat Global Warming. Collecting wood from forests can be a dangerous undertaking for the women that do it. Sun light is free energy for cooking and the Kyoto Box uses this energy to cook, boil, bake, dry foods, and warm food. It cleans water and can boil ten litres of water in two hours. Water pasteurises at 65 degrees C and the Kyoto Box can reach temperatures of 165 degrees C, surpassing the temperatures reached by Sir John Herschel in the 1830s.

The design is made of cardboard and costs five euros to make, and the invention hopes to cut the number of people suffering from respiratory problems associated with smoke inhalation with it. The inventor is also thinking of making a plastic version which is less likely to be damaged when it gets wet. Because of the design of the box it can pack flat so thousands can be carried on one lorry.

The cardboard cooker consists of two boxes with a transparent acrylic cover to let in the sun's energy, black paint inside and silver foil outside to concentrate the heat, and straw or newspaper for insulation between the two layers.

Mr Bohmer will use the prize money to run trials of his creation, which takes around one-and-a-half hours to boil water, in 10 countries including South Africa and India.

He said: "We're saving lives and saving trees. I doubt if there is any other technology that can make so much impact for so little money."

The history of the Kyoto Box goes back to 1767. The increased use of glass during the eighteenth century made many people aware of its ability to trap solar heat. As Horace de Saussure set out to determine how effectively glass heat traps could collect the energy of the sun. His Hot Box got to 109 degrees C.

Sunshine penetrated the glass covers of the boxes, and was absorbed by the black surface of the table on which the boxes rested. In the process, the light energy was convened into heat. Much of this heat was released into the glass boxes as warm air and thermal radiation. But clear glass has a peculiar property: it easily allows sunshine to pass through, but inhibits thermal radiation from doing the same. Therefore this trapped energy heated the air inside the box. The glass walls also blocked the heated air from escaping, but some heat was lost by conduction through the glass.

After various experiments de Saussure made a small rectangular box out of half-inch pine and lined it with black cork. Three separate sheets of glass covered the top of the box. When exposed to the sun, the bottom of the box reached a temperature of 109 degrees C. It was all then put in an open-topped container with wool insulation between the two. This device was later called a hot box because of the large amount of solar heat it could retain.

However, the hot box was still losing some heat to the outside. De Saussure therefore placed the wooden box into the middle of an open-topped container and stuffed wool packing between the sides of the container and the walls of the box. The added insulation kept more heat inside. He found that the temperature attained by the Hot Box was similar at various altitudes because there was the same amount of sunlight.

Several nineteenth-century scientists conducted experiments with hot boxes and obtained comparable results. Sir John Herschel, the noted astronomer, made a hot box while on an expedition in the 1830's to the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa with which he cooked food.

Improving the Lives of HIV/AIDS Sufferers

8 March 2009

Until a cure is found for HIV we must look for a way of alleviating the suffering of those affected. While most people are told by the medical profession that there is no way to boost the immune system, I know of three treatments that can be put to use in this way. Colostrum gives people taking it both a boost in their immune system and the energy needed in order to exercise. High levels of vitamin C also boosts the immune system (Please check with a Doctor for the highest level that can be safely taken), as does body building (I use the Bullworker as it is a one off payment). While the exercise is being done it is best to listen to music one likes in order to boost endorphin levels. While there could be a great deal of pain in this disease Post Sex  gives free relief from these symptoms long enough to make the disease manageable.

Biochar and it's Ability to Stop The Increase in CO2 Levels

 

7 December 2008

Dear Site Visitor

 

Trees and Plants suck up CO2 as they grow, but then release it as they die and rot. However, we can prevent 90% of the CO2 being released when they die by turning the plants into biochar, which is fine grained carbon which can be buried in the ground where it remains safe for thousands of years. Pre Columbian Amazonian Indians have kept CO2 safe for over 2,500 years, which is a length of time that we must talk about when safely storing CO2. Biochar also cuts down on the need for fertilizers, reduces methane and nitrous oxides from the ground, filters out pollutants, and retains water. Quickly degrading rainforest soils caused by slash and burn farming can be kept fertile by the use of biochar.

There are two ways of producing biochar, we can smoulder plants without oxygen at a temperature of 350 degrees centigrade, or we can use hydrothermal carbonisation which steams organic material under pressure at 180 degrees centigrade using citric acid as a catalyst. Both processes readily produce heat which can be used to generate electricity of heat water.

Jim Amonette, a soil geochemist at the US Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory estimates that biochar would halt the rise in CO2 if we could biochar 8% of the Earth's annual biomass, while Green and Black co-founder Craig Sams has calculated that just 2.5% of the world's productive land were used to produce biochar then we could end the rise of CO2 emissions.

Trials are to be started in Sussex and Belize early in the new year, backed with venture capital from Silicon Valley, on techniques to take carbon from the atmosphere and bury it in the soil, where it should act as a powerful fertiliser, which will be scaled up rapidly into a worldwide enterprise which could bring atmospheric CO2 levels back down to pre-Industrial Revolution levels.

The ambitious enterprise, which on has just received its first multimillion-pound investment from California, is the brainchild of two of Britain's most successful environmental entrepreneurs: Craig Sams, one of the founders of the best-selling Green & Black's organic chocolate, and Dan Morrell, who co-founded Future Forests, the first carbon offsetting company.

They aim to grow trees and plants to absorb CO2 and then trap the carbon by turning the resulting biomass into biochar.. There are three possible methods of converting vegetation to biochar, there could be a central plant, local farmers could share their own small plant, or mobile vehicles could do it for them. Whether a centralized system, a distributed system, or a mobile system is preferred is heavily dependent on the specific region. The cost of transportation of the liquid and solid byproducts, the amount of material to be processed in a region, and the ability to feed directly into the power grid are all factors to be considered when deciding on a specific implementation.

The TEEB Report

22 October 2008

Dear Site Visitor

The G8+5 environment ministers at Potsdam in 2007 launched a joint initiative to draw attention to the global economic benefits of biodiversity and the costs of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation. TEES sets about addressing the value of nature by making a comprehensive and compelling economic case for conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity.

The immediate beneficiaries of many of the services of ecosystems and biodiversity are the poor. The livelihoods most affected are subsistence farming, animal husbandry, fishing, and informal forestry- most of the world's poor depend upon them. And yet 60% of the Earth's ecosystem services that have been examined have been degraded in the last 50 years. We need to understand what is happening, and these changes affect goods and services they provide. We must then look at economic tools that can preserve them for future generations. Population growth, increasing wealth, and changing consumption patterns underlie many of the changes. Today 35% of the Earth's surface is for agriculture and grazing takes up 26%.

TEES found that biodiversity is seriously affected by lack of policy. Study leader Pavan Sukhdev emphasised that the cost of natural decline dwarfs losses on the financial markets. "It's not only greater but it's also continuous, it's been happening every year, year after year...So whereas Wall Street by various calculations has to date lost, within the financial sector, $1-$1.5 trillion, the reality is that at today's rate we are losing natural capital at least between $2-$5 trillion every year."

Energy Efficient Lighting

 

19 October 2008

Dear Site Visitor

In the UK one in five councils are switching off street lights at night, leaving hundreds of thousands of residents with blacked-out roads. The AA say that this is dangerous and although the lighting is being left on in crime hot spots, these hot spots could soon move to darker areas. In the 1980s when the technology first became available I muted the possibility that we could have intelligent lights that sensed moving objects and switched themselves on whenever they were needed. They could then communicate with their neighbouring streetlights to come on so that the light levels are kept the same for the pedestrian and driver. Saving the environment was my primary concern but it would now seem that cost cutting councils are jumping on the bandwagon too. My street lights would have the advantage of safety and user friendliness.

Reducing Racially Motivated Violence

30 August 2008

Dear Site Visitor

Newspaper headlines in the UK today reveal that a Muslim man has been jailed for eight years for killing his neighbour, who was active in the Fascist British National Party, following a long-running dispute. Habib Khan, 50, stabbed 52-year-old Keith Brown with a kitchen knife during a violent row outside their homes in July last year. The court heard that Khan, described as a "mild and calm-mannered family man", had intended to use the knife to threaten Mr Brown, who had hold of one of his sons.

In order to cut down on the deaths and violence caused by Fascism it must be classified as a mental illness. Children are not born racist, they brainwash themselves. Fascists recruit naive school children outside school gates by getting them to think negative thoughts every time that they see someone that is not white. Gradually the children send themselves down a slippery slope. The proven cure for this is to persuade the Fascist to think of a positive thought whenever they see someone that is not white. Eventually the Fascist is able to de-program himself. However, professionally trained people will have to be used in order to persuade the Fascist that self curing is better than ruining their lives, and the lives of others.

Reducing the Number of Offenders

27 July 2008

Dear Site Visitor

Cutting the number of crimes and the persistence of criminals in re-offending has to be one of the targets of society. In 2002 Bernard Gesch carried out a scientific study on prisoners that found that prisoners given regular dosages of vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids, along with their meals committed 26% less prison rule violations that those that did not receive the supplements. As a result Bernard Gesch provided solid evidence that poor nutrition plays a significant role in triggering aggressive behaviour.

Similar results have been achieved in other studies on the subject. Dr Stephen Schoenthaler, in 1983, did a study of 3,000 imprisoned teenagers, snack foods were replaced with healthier options containing reduced refined and sugary foods. During the year that diets were changed violent and antisocial incidents decreased by almost half. There was also a 21% reduction in anti-social behaviour, 100% reduction in suicides, 25% reduction in assaults, and 75% reduction in use of restraints.

In 1990 Bernard Gesch, in the South Cumbria Alternative Sentencing Options pilot project found that all in the study exhibited abnormal glucose tolerance, a problem triggered by consumption of sugar, sugary foods, and stimulants such as coffee, but also carbohydrate-rich foods without protein such as crisps.

Whilst I have not done such a scientific study I have noticed that feeding refined sugar to wild animals has caused them to become excessively over active.

There is thus a good case for refined sugar and junk foods to be classified as illicit drugs that should be taken off the market. But more can be done.

Another initiative that cuts offending by prisoners and cuts re-offending comes from Texas. One Texas sherrif estimates that the re-offense rate in the county is down 70 percent since he switched to pink jumpsuits for the inmates of his prison. He also said there have been no fights between inmates in the jail since it was painted pink. This could be the way to go for all prisons.

Biofuels Have Caused the Food Crisis

7 July 2008

Dear Site Visitor

A World Bank report by Don Mitchell is being suppressed to save the embarrassment of President George Bush, and therefore save The Republican Party votes. The report says that Biofuels have forced global food prices up by 75%, the US claims that this figure is only 3%. According to the World Bank food price increases have pushed 100 million people worldwide below the poverty line, sparking riots in Bangladesh and Egypt. George Bush is attempting to blame the food price increases on higher demand from India and China in spite of a report by the World Bank saying that this was not a major factor.

Biofuels distort the food market in three ways. Firstly biofuels divert grain away from food for fuel. Over one third of US corn is now used to produce ethanol and about half of vegetable oils in the EU go towards the production of biodiesel. Secondly, farmers have been encouraged to set land aside for biofuel production. Thirdly, it has sparked financial speculation in grains, driving prices up higher.

What we appear to have is industry and politicians leading us up a blind alley when what we should be doing is greening our electricity generation so that we can then have clean electrical cars.

Martial Arts Should be Taught in Schools

There has been a recent interest by the Government in knife related crimes. Using only a martial art cross block a knife can be taken off an attacker with ease. Similarly, Elvis Presley used to show ways developed to disarm attackers armed with guns.

Instead of increasing the sentences for knife crimes and building more prisons we have a cheap alternative. The Government can instead ensure that self defence is taught in schools. We do not want to end up like the United States where one percent of the population are in prison and teaching self defence is a way to seriously reduce violent crimes.

Self defence in schools would also drastically cut the number of rape victims, at present 30% of women have been raped, which leaves mental scars for life.

In Support of the United Nations Framework Convention

on Climate Change

 

21 May 2008

Dear Site Visitor

This Labour Government is at the moment planning to set up an international fund to which poor countries apply for loans to protect their countries from Global Warming. The rich Western Countries that produce the pollution that causes Global Warming are to put money into the fund and the poor countries that have not produced the CO2 then have to pay back the money with interest. I don't see this as Socialism with a friendly face and having to pay the money back is delaying the inevitable Near-Zero CO2 economy that we must all achieve before 2016. Only when The Polluter Pays Principe is applied will Capitalist countries force themselves to be Near-Zero CO2 economies. Whilst they are making a profit from lending 'aid' they are more likely to increase the damage they are doing. Letting the World Bank run the scheme is like letting a wolf in amongst the sheep. Benaditas Muller, the coordinator for the G77 and China group of countries warns that the World Bank will skim off some of the money without doing anything, limited resources could be fragmented and so achieve little, and the World Bank will have countries it would prefer to work with than others because it has a political motive. I would add that trying to turn a profit from another persons misery will lead to a lot of heavily indebted countries in the future due to these loans being forced by the World Bank to cut spending on the poorest people to repay these loans. We will then have to have another Drop the Debt Campaign which takes decades to get politicians to do anything. Instead, we should have the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) give grants to alleviate the pollution that the West causes.

International Team of Experts on CO2 Reduction is Announced

 

15 March 2008

Dear Site Visitor

In 1997 I wrote to electricity generating companies around the world about the Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generator in an attempt to get CO2 emissions cut. I did this by writing to British Embassies around the world asking for addresses to write to. Most of the Embassies were helpful. But a few passed me on to Overseas Trade Services which charged for the research. As I was poor some countries did not get contacted by me as a result. After I had finished my campaign I wrote to UK Prime Minister of the time Tony Blair telling him of my campaign and gave him the percentages of Embassies who had passed me on to the Overseas Trade Services with the suggestion that all Embassies should be made to give the information for free so that inventors like myself can get on with our jobs. And the Prime Minister transformed the Embassies with my idea of 'Centres of Excellence' that would help future inventors in their attempts to market their products abroad. I then spent a lot of time writing to various members of the Cabinet about my invention. Before 2005, when nothing had been achieved, I asked my MP Melanie Johnson what Tony Blair was doing about the Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generator. As it has the potential to cut CO2 emissions by 50% it is vitally important to the future. Back came the reply that Tony Blair had not heard of it!

Now Tony Blair is to lead an international team on getting an international agreement to cut CO2 emissions by 50% by 2050 when what needs to be done is to cut CO2 emissions by 90% by 2016. Tony Blair is quoted as saying: "The world has less than two years to secure a deal or accept that global warming is irreversible." My point is that in 1997 the world had less than thirteen years before it got to the point of no return, and Tony did nothing about it. Do not expect a fast result from his team.

The Love of Money is the Root of all Evil

4 March 2008

Dear Site Visitor

Tom Hodkinson in 'The Ecologist' magazine (March 2008) wonders why rich people in the developed world are interested in making poor people in the undeveloped world richer. He suggests that it is so that they will have enough money to buy produce from them. However, while some rich people see the undeveloped world as a market to sell their goods when they are not stealing what they want using The World Bank, IMF, and WTO, there are others that have a genuine concern for the very poorest. The old adage that the love of money is the root of all evil does not mean that we must ban money. Instead we must give everyone wanting a high powered job, whether in politics or industry, a personality test like the one in the US Democratic Party which ensures that all their candidates are not self serving. We will then have a society where those that love money cannot get large amounts of it and the egalitarian people that do then get the top jobs are those most likely to put society before individuals.

Let the rich help the poor to help themselves. I have nothing against wealthy people spending their money on digging water wells in order to quadruple food supplies amongst other things, setting up micro loan Banks to kick start local economies, or providing cheap computers so that the children in the undeveloped world can compete with the rich children in the developed world on a more level playing field. The developed world adopting this personality test ensures that more rich people will be putting the poor first.

Reducing Hostilities by The Reconstruction of Yugoslavia

26 February 2008

Dear Site Visitor

Another piece of Yugoslavia is cut off, which looks to the general public to be a democratic choice. But the dissection of Yugoslavia was never democratic. Under the peace plan that I put to Mikhail Gorbachev in which Eastern Europe would be allowed to democratise in return for the USA agreeing with The Soviet Union to dismantle their nuclear arsenals in agreed stages. The democratisation of Eastern Europe did not include Yugoslavia because it was independent of the Soviet block. Yugoslavia was more economically successful than the rest of Eastern Europe because it was not milked for money to pay for nuclear weapons by Stalin the way the rest of Eastern Europe was after the 1950s. Before then the Eastern European economies were growing a lot faster than those in the West even if they had some catching up to do. The Cold War can thus be seen as an economic war with many indirect casualties as neither side spent as much money on their populations as they could. Money spent on weapons takes money out of the money supply entirely when it could be making more money and so the long term wealth of the nations involved was suppressed.

Since World War 2 the West had a plan to destabilise communist Yugoslavia and when Mikhail Gorbachev toured Eastern Europe to say that these states would no longer be policed by the Soviet Union the West chose to break with my peace plan immediately and destroy a peaceful, prosperous, and beautiful country. During World War 2 the West had found it impossible to get the people of Yugoslavia fight the Nazi Germans because every time weapons were dropped by parachute the various ethnic and religious factions fought each other instead. Tito had managed to get all these factions to live in harmony and the way he did this should be studied by those who are interested in fighting the harm caused by racism. The CIA and the British Secret Service went into Yugoslavia with their plan of destruction. Tito did not take this threat seriously and enough money changed hands to start kidnaps, assassinations, and so on, which was made to snowball into the break up of a once peaceful country.

In order to end the disintegration, hostility, and eventual fighting between the various parts of Yugoslavia we must have a United Nations investigation into the Politicians and Secret Services that caused this genocide necessary to get rid of an alternative political system. Bribes and funding that was handed out by the West must be paid back and all those giving and receiving this money must be punished. Only then can the Yugoslavian people live in the peace that they are capable of. These people from the West must be brought to justice in an international court so that this same plan is not carried out in other countries as well.

Yours faithfully

The Bali Climate Conference and New Year Cheer

25 December 2007

Dear Site Visitor

There are relationships in society between politicians, companies and voters/consumers. But in capitalist society money comes before humans. For example, The World Bank, IMF, and WTO have between them killed more people than World War 2. Capitalist politicians are more of a hindrance to the environment than companies. Businesses are now coming round to the idea that it is cheaper to reduce CO2 emissions than not too, but this is still a money oriented way of looking at things, rather than deciding what is right and wrong. Scientists battle it out with many in the Media in favour of the status quo in their attempts to influence the voter/consumer.

Companies could do some real carbon offsetting by converting power stations to clean geothermal energy by digging ten kilometre deep water wells. They could also reduce their heating bills by coating their buildings with Starlite, which eliminates heat escape, which would have great appeal to them if they did but know it.

But politicians are at the top of the pecking order in their ability to influence change by law. To ensure that politicians do so we must ensure that there is nothing influencing their will but logic. We must pay politicians a regular wage, and their finances must be regularly checked to ensure that there is no extra money going in. What we have to do is ensure that there are no more Margaret Thatchers making £60 million for selling arms to Saudi Arabia. We must have quality politicians that put the human race and it's survival before personal finances. Any financial irregularities must be confiscated and given to environmental projects. Let a thousand Ghandis blossom. Until this happens we will have more and more farces like the Bali Climate Conference of 2007. The tears of Chairman Yvo de Boer at the Bali Climate Conference could have been spared if the conference had studied plans to make the Planet a Near-Zero CO2 emissions one. (I am aware of three, S. David Freeman, 'The Green Cowboy', and Zero Carbon Britain, and my own. Instead, non scheduled clandestine meetings in the absence of the Chairman ensured that not even paltry cuts in CO2 emissions were agreed upon. The best plan that politicians have come up with appears to be 'Contraction and Convergence' which involves undeveloped nations being allowed to bring their CO2 emissions up to Western Levels before the West even starts to bring theirs down. Added to this is Carbon Trading which allows polluting countries to prevent undeveloped countries from industrialising in the first place. When the two pieces of the puzzle are put together it means that nothing will get done. Oil will be burnt until it runs out, and then Coal producers will sell their product until portable oxygen tanks become too expensive for politicians wages. We now have nine years to bring down CO2 emissions to near-zero, combined with an international massive tree planting scheme. Happy New Year!

Making Education Egalitarian

3 November 2007

Advice to the Education Secretary on what exams could replace 'A' Levels in the UK miss the point on the possibility of education being the great leveller for British society. A quantum leap was made by David Blunkett when he ensured that in future everyone that was supposed to sit an exam had photographic documentation to prove they were who they said they were in exams, which at a stroke ended the ability of the rich to pay for professional exam sitters to pass their exams for them. (Something that happened a lot when I was at University). On top of this has been Tony Blair's policy of spending more money on Education, Health, and War (Oops). The next major step forward to creating an egalitarian state is to do away entirely with Public Schools. The Labour policy of doing away with 'fagging' has minimised the sexual and physical abuse in these schools that leads to a warped ruling elite, but has not eliminated the elite itself. Boarding Schools take away from children the instruction in humanity that loving parents give, and replaces it with an artificial militaristic regime. The only way around this problem is to eliminate Public Schools entirely. To complain about what exam to take criticises the full stops and commas, rather than the essay itself.

The Repeal of Anti-Trade Union Laws

21 October 2007

Dear Site Visitor

The United Campaign to Repeal Anti Trade Union Laws make valid points for the repeal of Thatcherite anti-trade union laws. What is hampering this repeal is fear that another Labour Government will be brought down if unions are given freedom to do as they wish.

But we can have our cake and eat it. In Germany all Trade Unions have just two set periods in the year to negotiate wage rises. This has the effect that the Trade Unions are not always trying to out compete each other and so wage rises are more moderate. Inflation rates are not boosted and anti-union laws are thus not necessary in Germany. But we should take another German idea that works well. A Trade Union representative should be on the Board of Directors of every company putting forward, amongst other things, ideas that the workforce on the ground comes up with. It is to the advantage of the worker to make his company more competitive and yet ideas from the shop floor are not always heeded or rewarded.

Profits from the Labour Party Credit Card Must

Fund Leaflets

12 October 2007

Dear Site Visitor

Labour Party Parliamentary Perspective Candidates are complaining that the Conservative Party are spending a lot of money on leaflets in marginal constituencies. They also point out that their Constituency has not had such financial backing. I would like to ask why and have good reason too. When I came up with the idea of the Labour Party Credit Card in the 1980s it was to make up for the deficit caused by Conservative mass unemployment cutting the political levy that the Labour Party received from the Trade Unions. I made it clear from the start that I wanted the profits from the Labour Party Credit Card, which amount to the finances of a medium sized Trade Union, spent on leaflets in marginal constituencies. My wishes have not changed. The Labour Majority in the House of Commons must be defended and it should be these marginal Constituencies that the vast proceeds from the Labour Party Credit Card should be spent. A regular leaflet increases the Labour vote by 3%, and a 3% swing to the Labour Party can decide who forms the next Government. I have not heard of any finances raised by the Labour Party being spent on leaflets in twenty years and all enquiries go unanswered. I do not want the proceeds of my invention being spent on various expensive alternatives to the Walworth Road headquarters. I want my 3% swing. The House of Commons majority must be defended.

Planning for Flooding Caused by Global Warming

 

18 July 2007

Dear Site Visitors

Architects are saying that new houses on flood prone land should have the living quarters on the first floor to cut down on the cost of financial claims. I would suggest that water tight doors and windows could be made to fit all houses in danger from flooding that could be triggered automatically, or manually in the event of a power cut. Ladders from the first floor could be fitted that would descend to ground level in the event of a need to escape, such emergency ladders have been in use in US properties for decades. On top of this, there may be a need to build houses that have to take the pressure of occasional flood water to a more exacting standard so that they will not collapse. As heating up houses takes up 33% (US figure) of energy generated then we must build near-zero energy houses. We must also ensure that all present housing stock has their energy needs minimised as soon as possible.

With it looking increasingly more likely that there could be a one meter increase in sea levels there is not going to be enough land that is flood proof to build new houses on. I suggest that converting houses to cope with occasional flooding would be appropriate. We can learn from Venice which has always had periodic flooding, mainly in winter and at high tides. Social engineering could be used to ensure that people lived and worked in areas that were not subject to flooding. By using the five Buxton Coefficients of Unemployment in areas that are safe could create more than full employment in these areas so that people move to them from the areas that are prone to flooding. As the five Buxton Coefficients bring in more revenue for the Chancellor than he has to spend in implementing them then the economy would be more healthy as a result without having to spend a great deal of money on permanent flood defences that have to be built to last.

Assuming that the UK takes in refugees caused by global warming proportionate to our percentage of world population, then a one metre increase in sea level will cause 276,000 refugees from Bangladesh alone. Future Labour Governments must have a more positive outlook to those seeking shelter in our country than at present. And the market will not provide enough housing for everyone. The simple solution of copying the Conservative Parties' attitude to Jewish refugees in World War 2 is abhorrent. We cannot and must not turn these victims of industrialisation away, and social housing is the only answer. The environmental cost of industrialisation has to be borne by the countries that produced it. This is a hidden cost that must be paid for.

Increasing Food Production in the Third World Using a Different Seed Dispersal Method

17 June 2007

For those keen on gardening I would like to draw your attention to 'Crow's Footing,' which is a way of planting seeds that was told to me by my grandfather. Instead of planting seeds in a set distance between rows we can use equilateral triangles to plant the seeds. The rows are closer together but the seed rows are planted out of sync with the rows on either side. In this way I found it possible to increase food production by 30%. This is an interesting statistic for those with 'green fingers' and I have been campaigning to have it used in the Third World for many years. Not only can the amount of 'cash crops' can be increased, but more importantly, so can subsistence crops, which are much more important.

New Labour Fights Back

19 May 2007

Dear Site Visitors

There has been a constant criticism of 'New Labour' recently. 'New Labour' came about when self confessed Marxist Brian Gould asked for a slogan at a political meeting. After some thought I came up with the slogan and asked that the middle class vote be captured with it. The best way of doing this would be by surveying what policies the middle class would like in order to maximise the Labour vote. Up to two fifths of the middle class vote Labour and we need their votes in order to form a government, so this is actually a sensible policy. It's importance is increased because, although the Left has all the best policies, it usually cannot sell them to the electorate due to sustained press political bias. The press could be regulated by law so that the amount of political comment was based proportionally on how many votes each Party won at the previous election, as the BBC does with it's 'yellow book.'

Brian Gould, who went on to be a Labour Leadership challenger, seemed to be a safe pair of hands to put the 'New Labour' plan in. But on losing the Leadership election Brian Gould soon threw his rattle out of the pram and the 'New Labour' plan was taken over by others who were not so left wing. It would seem that the criticisms coming in about the 'New Labour' project are that there is a rule by diktat instead of the Labour Party being a genuinely popular Party. However, unless the left accepts the need for press regulation of political content controlled by law there is no point in going back to the left dictating the policies of the Labour Party because these policies will not get voted for. If we do not democratise the press then we are left with social survey. I sincerely hope that the Gordon Brown both democratises the press and puts the policy of social survey back into the spot light, not just on taxation rates, but on a whole raft of policies. It looks like it will be increasingly necessary to engage with the electorate in order to form the next Government, and that is what we must do.

Maximising the Labour Vote Under PR

12 May 2007

Dear Site Visitors

There is a need for a revitalised Labour Party in Scotland and Wales. The Mass Party Campaign has been campaigning since 1982 for an amendment of the Labour Party constitution 9 (2) (a) from ensuring there is a Labour Party branch in every Constituency, to having a Labour Party branch in every City, Town, and Village. We can only maximise the Labour vote under proportional representation by ensuring that there is Labour representation everywhere. This change in policy will take time and commitment by Labour Party activists, but is certainly worth doing in order to get the results that our supporters need. We do not have to see the Labour Party being the second party of Scotland. What we do have to see is some long term planning by the new Labour Leadership.

Cutting CO2 Emissions Produced by Vehicles

29 March 2007

Dear Site Visitors

I am writing to you about the possibility of minimizing the purchasing of gas guzzling vehicles, and instead increasing the purchasing of greener and smaller vehicles. There are lists of vehicle models and their respective CO2 emissions. We should use these lists to alter the amount of vehicle insurance paid each year, with high CO2 emission vehicles being far more expensive and the savings made being passed on to those vehicles with lower CO2 emissions. Vehicle insurance would then take into account the damage that vehicle drivers do to the environment. The market would then respond by building cleaner models.

Whilst the Labour Government cannot go so far as to ban vehicles entirely, we can at least cut CO2 emissions from the vehicles we have by this simple method. This will help us to reach our target of 60% less CO2 than in 1990.

The Value Put on Referendums

24 February 2007

Dear Site Visitors

Social studies reveal that countries that allow the populace to have regular referenda on all manner of issues have contentment that has a monetary value. In order to increase the feeling of wealth in the country we need only allow the populace a vote in referenda. People would rather be able to vote on the replacement for, say, the Trident Missile deterrent than have money. Life is seen to be more valuable when you have a say on the matters that are important to you, and it is arrogant for politicians to make choices in your best interests. Referendums are a way to improve upon present democracy.

Quacks and Con Artists in the Nuclear Industry

29 January 2007

Dear Site Visitors

Quacks in the nuclear industry are spending £6.6 billion of taxpayers money on The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, which is going too be too little and too late to make a dent in global warming.

As to the con artists, it was worked out that nuclear electricity is four times more expensive than conventional, and thus the lie that it would be too cheap to meter was finally nailed. It also takes more energy to build and power nuclear power stations than they can ever generate themselves. More cons from the nuclear industry include European finance breaks that prop up an unprofitable means of generation. Costings do not take into account the need to keep lethal levels of radiation in a safe place for a million years. No account has been taken of what the human race will have evolved to in such a time scale, and ignores the serious and regular accidents that get white washed all too fast. The nuclear power plant at Forsmark, Sweden last year is just one more minor headline where a catastrophic accident was avoided, this time by one person breaking the safety procedures in place. The proposed power plants in the UK will be computerised and this will not be possible again.

Now that we have dealt with the quacks and con artists we can look at a cheap alternative. In just one year we could convert all power stations in the UK to geothermal energy just by digging a lined and capped bore hole approximately ten kilometres deep that is filled with water. Because the ground heats up the further down one digs, and turbine generators generate electricity using steam at three times boiling point, all we need to do is dig down until the temperature reaches three times boiling water. The amount of energy produced depends simply upon how wide the bore hole is. And because we are converting instead of building new, for the price of the proposed new nuclear power plants in the UK, we can convert all the power stations we have, and thus reach government targets to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

And has the Labour Party in opposition and government been listening to this idea over the last twenty years? Well, let's just say I had to put an advert in the left wing 'Tribune' magazine in time for the last Party conference. Protest and survive!

Yours faithfully

Andy Kadir-Buxton

Does Your Local Nuclear Power Station Have My Safety Device Installed?

17 January 2007

Dear Site Visitors

When the nuclear accident at Chernobyl in 1986 happened Mikhail Gorbachev made an international appeal for ideas to minimise the amount of radiation that was being released by the crippled nuclear power station. I came up with an idea that got used.

My invention was a sprinkler system filled with heavy water, which was in turn linked to a Geiger counter. Thus, when the radiation level got too high, the sprinkler system would come on and the heavy water would dampen down the radiation.

In spite of my contacting my Member of Parliament as to whether or not my invention was being used in UK nuclear power stations, she was not able to tell me because it was an official secret. I am most concerned as to whether my safety device is being used routinely in the world's nuclear power plants.

If you are interested in lobbying your local nuclear power station over the matter, I would also like to point out that, at this time, I have not yet been paid for my invention!

Keeping the Union Link with Party Funding

16 January 2007

Dear Site Visitors

The soul of the Labour Party has always come from the Trade Unions and it is not in the best interests of the health of the Labour Party to break this link. We must therefore resist any attempts to make a disastrous break with this valued tradition. We must also be aware that with a 'spending race' continuing, the Trade Unions, with a shrinking membership, cannot compete forever with big business.

It would be simple to say that the Labour Government should force all share holders to vote for a levy to the Conservative Party, in the same way as the Conservative Government forced Trade Union members to vote on the political levy to the Labour Party. However, this is just a form of Gerrymandering designed to knobble the opposition party, rather than an attempt to get a fair system of Party funding.

There has been a large and vocal voice in the Labour Movement in our history that have wanted proportional representation. What I would suggest, as a supporter of F-P-T-P, is that Party Funding be capped in order to end the spending race in Elections. The cap should be based on the proportion of votes a Political Party gets at the previous election, be it European, General, or Local.

In this way the Labour Party would be tied to 38% of the total spend at the next General Election, whilst the Conservative Party would have 33%, and the Liberal Democrats would have 23%. This funding would come directly from the taxation system. There would have to be a threshold point in order to minimise extremist Parties such as the BNP from making headway.

However, traditional funding to the Political Parties would still be allowed. For the first five to ten years it would only be allowed to be used to clear the debts of the Political Parties brought about by their overspending in order to buy votes. Once the debts of the Political Parties had been brought to zero, any traditional political funding would be used to ease the tax burden. Any money coming into the Labour Party from the Trade Unions, for example, would be subtracted from the figure coming in from the taxation system. Inflation would be taken into account.

My way of Party funding would ensure that the Trade Union link is kept, that the Labour Party is injected with the regular shots of socialism that it needs in order to work for the majority of the population, that the 'spending race' is kept in check, and that there is transparency for the voter. It would also be nice that the Labour Party and Liberal Democrats were not always outspent by the Conservative Party.

35,152 Deaths Could Have Been Avoided

4 December 2006

Dear Site Visitors

Government Health minister Rosie Winterton has now admitted that twenty five mentally ill people commit suicide every week, and that one person a week is murdered by a mentally ill patient. I invented a quick and permanent cure for mental illness twenty six years ago, the Kadir-Buxton Method. The medical profession has swept the astonishing results achieved by it under the carpet as it would eliminate the need for the psychiatric profession. Whilst the psychiatrists have kept their lucrative jobs where they are paid per patient head, and per drug prescribed, 35,152 citizens lay dead. The number of dead from mental illness since the invention of the Kadir-Buxton Method is nearly thirteen times the number of those killed in 'The Twin Towers' bombing which lead to both a massive outcry combined with spending and action by the British Government.

The Government, and Rosie Winterton must bring into use the Kadir-Buxton Method now. Mental illness effects one quarter of us during our life times, and yet it could be cured in just thirty seconds by the practice nurse at the local surgery. The cost of mental illness, according to 'The Ecologist' is £100 billion a year, and yet untreated people in the Third World get better quicker than UK patients in the drug oriented system here.

First-Past-The-Post Voting System for Israel

3 December 2006

Dear Site Visitors

I disagree with Israeli politician Shimon Peres when he says that Middle East settlement may not be a political one. The worst excesses of Israel since its' inception have been due to proportional representation allowing small religious zealot political parties to dictate policy in return for power. In order to secure peace we must have first-past-the-post. Anti-Arab policies will then be moderated, and thus settlements can be negotiated more willingly.

Full Employment for War Torn Countries

 

3 October 2006

Dear Site Visitors

I am writing to you on the subject of minimizing hostilities in both Iraq and Afghanistan. I start by explaining my work in ending the first Intifada before enlarging on this work for the hostilities in such countries as Iraq and Afghanistan.

The first Intifada took place because of the absolute poverty of the Palestinian people. I managed, by a somewhat devious route, to get the UN to dig enough water wells in Palestine for everyone to have a supply of fresh water. Each water well cost £2,000, and provided enough water for 50,000 people. Each water well quadruples the food supply, so the Palestinians had both enough water and food, along with a surplus of food which they could sell. (On top of this, Birth Rates drop to Western Levels when water wells are dug, this is known as the Buxton Gap)

During the Iran/Iraq War I got the UN to dig enough water wells for everyone in both countries, starting with the combat zones. This so pleased the populations that their Governments soon invited the UN in to broker a peace deal. The water wells are still in existence in Iraq, I know of someone who served in Iraq and used my water wells.

What we need is more water wells in Iraq and Afghanistan. But what I am saying that is new, is that we also need full employment in order to get economic stability. This is easy, the UK Labour Government have been using the five Buxton Coefficients of Unemployment to create full employment along with month after month of economic growth. However, in order to prevent pockets of unemployment in Iraq and Afghanistan which would be hot beds for unrest, we must use the five Buxton Coefficients how I meant them to be used in the UK, with every single region using them. The respective Governments must be taught my inventions, how to use them in each region, and that they bring in more by taxation than they cost to use.

I hope that you will see the wisdom of creating full employment in all war torn countries, once the people are happy there is less need to fight.

Yours faithfully

Preventing the Extinction of Fish Species

16 September 2006

Dear Site Visitors

Fish in the wild are being over exploited, and whole fish species face extinction. But there is an easy way of preventing these extinctions. An international law should be passed which ensures that the gonads of all fish caught are liquidised, the fish are usually gutted anyway so this would not be a great hardship for the fishermen. Once liquidised, artificial fertilization takes place, and after twenty four hours the fertilized fish eggs can be released into the sea. It does not matter where the eggs are put back because the fry of each species find their way back to the environment they originally come from.

In this way, the sea can be repopulated, and fishing can even become sustainable.

Using Heavy Horses in the Third World

16 September 2006

Dear Site Visitors

We often hear how up to date technology is inappropriate for the Third World. One example would be that of a charity that sent tractors to Africa to help fight famine. Petrol was too expensive for the farmers and so the unused tractors rusted in the field. What can be more readily used is intermediate technology. I would like to see Heavy Horses used in the Third World. Whilst they are little used in the West except as historic exhibits, if used in the Third World, they could each do the work of two water bison, and yet eat less food than the two. They are still a great leap forward from the hand plow and so the amount of land cultivated could be increased from subsistence level to that of profit. Heavy Horses enjoy the heat and would be able to breed regularly, instead of gradually dying out in the West.

Referendum Needed on Replacement for Trident Submarines

4 July 2006

Dear Site Visitors

The Labour Government is promising a debate on the replacement of Trident, which is expected at the moment to cost £25 billion. The debate should not be left to a handful of citizens who just happen to be elected representatives attempting to hold onto their seats and salaries. Yes, these politicians can put their views on the matter across to the electorate, but it is the electorate who should make such an important matter in a referendum.

I know that the £25 billion a year price tag does not take into account the cost of keeping high level radioactive waste safe for millions of years, and the number of nuclear power stations necessary to create the war heads. The referendum must also bring up the cost in human lives of spending this amount of money for millions of years in such ways as lowering the potential of the health service, and the number of suicides created by the unemployment such a long term project will cause. Even the Conservative Party of the 1980s admitted that the money spent on the Trident Missile system was having an adverse effect on the unemployment rates.

I am sure that the right wingers in both the political system and the media will spend a lot of money saying that the UK needs a replacement for Trident, but the electorate have less to loose personally than career politicians.

U-Turn Needed on Nuclear Energy from Tony Blair

29 May 2006

Dear Site Visitors

Tony Blair has come out in favour of more nuclear power stations in the UK, and various governments are to spend £6.6 billion on The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. Now, instead of Chernobyl exploding with the power of an Atom Bomb, we are to have power stations going off with the force of a Hydrogen Bomb. As well as being dangerous, nuclear generated electricity is four times more expensive than most alternatives. And all at vast expense paid for by the poor oppressed tax payer. What we need is low tech electricity generation which does not have career scientists lying to the electorate about safety and price issues.

The answer has been around for a long time. A Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generator is a lined and capped well, filled with water, which is ten kilometres deep. Because the ground heats up at a constant the deeper one digs, the cap of the well is at three times boiling point, the precise temperature at which power stations generate electricity with their turbine generators. Any power station can easily be converted to Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generators. The power they can generate is only limited by how wide the well is dug, and energy generation greater than nuclear power stations is easily possible. I once muted the possibility that a sufficiently large Buxton Geothermal Power Station could power gigantic refrigeration units at both Poles so that the melting of the ice caps could be reversed and then maintained. Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generators are cheaper and faster to build than nuclear power stations, generate more electricity and are far cleaner. And of course the electricity generated is cheap because there are no technically sophisticated and expensive parts, and no expensive waste to care for.

Only one Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generator has been built, in the then West Germany, by Helmut Kohl, generating as much electricity as a nuclear power station. Because is was classified as an official secret in Germany no publicity is made of my invention, this in spite of the fact that UK politicians of the time went to see it. Now would be a good time to campaign for more to be built.

Restoring and Maintaining the Polar Ice Caps

15 April 2006

Dear Site Visitors

The Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generator is a lined and capped well ten kilometres deep The deeper one digs, the hotter the temperature becomes. A well filled with water to the depth of ten kilometres brings super heated steam to the surface at three times boiling point. This is the temperature at which electricity is generated. Any power station can be converted to geothermal energy, the amount of electricity generated depends simply upon how wide the well is bored. I persuaded Helmut Kohl to build one in the then West Germany. Unfortunately it became a state secret so nothing has been heard of it since.

I calculated, when I first went over the figures for the Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generator, that a well dug a quarter of a mile across would provide double the amount of electricity used by everyone on earth today. This would be more than sufficient for my next proposal that I put to you.

I suggest that a Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generator be built on land near both Poles. An enormous freezer unit is built at both Poles and powered by under water power cables from the two Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generators. The power passed to the two freezer units could be adjusted regularly to bring the ice caps back to their normal size, and then just to keep up with the amount of melting after this point.

Such a large project would take central planning. The finances could come from The G8, The European Union, or members of The United Nations.

Moving Water from Scotland to London Using Present

Canal System

2 March 2006

Dear Site Visitors

I am writing to show my concern over compulsory water meters in the region of Folkestone and Dover Water. Water meters are a tax on the poorest in society, and also those with young families. A far cheaper and fairer way out of the permanent shortage of water in the South East is to bring water from Scotland were there is a large excess in water reserves. To transport quantities of water from Scotland is cheaper than one might think. Old canal ways that fuelled the industrial revolution went from Scotland all the way to the South of England. It is possible, by simply digging silt out of a few redundant water ways, to reopen this route. Water flows from the Highlands of Scotland downhill to the south of England without having to be pumped up hill in any place. The amount of water that can be transported by this method is more than can be used in London at least. The remainder can be transported to other regions, or used to increase the water levels of underground aquifers.

Spreading the use of Cheap Rate Electricity, and

Improving the Quality of the Economy 7 Radiator

26 February 2006

Dear Site Visitors

Economy 7 is an invention of mine from 1974. Cheap rate electricity at night for the consumer is a result of it. Countries have to have extra power stations because there is a big drop in electricity demands at night. The only thing an electricity generating company can do about this is shut down power stations. But it takes longer to shut down a power station and then restart it than there are hours in the night. Thus extra power stations are needed to cover for this over run. With Economy 7, more cheap electricity is bought by the consumer during the night, and so less power stations have to be switched off. There is then less need for the power stations that are covering and so there is a drop in the number of power stations needed.

One problem I have with Economy 7 is that when I invented it I asked that space age technologies be used to build hot water tanks and radiators. While the water tanks are well lagged with foam, the radiators, instead of keeping their heat until when it was needed in the cold of the evening, leaked heat when it is not needed because they are made of thin metal. Once the Economy 7 radiators are used to trap the heat in using space age technologies like I envisaged, then heat will only be given out when the vents on the radiator are opened. I would like to see all countries install Economy 7 in to all electricity users homes and companies. And, of course, if at least one company were to build a website advertising Economy 7 then I would be most pleased.

Economy 7 can and should cause a dramatic cut in Greenhouse gases.

Cheap and Clean Electricity Generation

12 February 2006

Dear Site Visitors

Decades ago I invented the Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generator, which is a lined and capped well ten kilometres deep. The deeper one digs, the hotter the temperature becomes. A well filled with water to the depth of ten kilometres brings super heated steam to the surface at three times boiling point. This is the temperature at which electricity is generated. Any power station can be converted to geothermal energy, the amount of electricity generated depends simply upon how wide the well is bored.

Now that the Cold War is over there is no need to have expensive nuclear power stations that produce weapons grade plutonium, with a side product of electricity at four times the price of any other form of electricity generation. This official figure does not take into account the cost of safe storage of lethal levels of radioactive materials for millions of years, a cost which will depress the economies of all countries that have nuclear power stations for this length of time. In comparison, the Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generator is cheap to build, maintain, and does no harm to the environment.

Popular Taxation Rates

12 February 2006

Dear Site Visitors

I have been campaigning for years to get the taxation policy of the Labour Party set by opinion poll of all the classes as to how much they are willing to pay by way of taxation. I succeeded in getting the Labour Party to adopt my idea once, The Shadow Chancellor was all in favour of it and my policy was extremely popular with the electorate. I would like my idea to be taken up by the Labour Government now. A popular tax rate for all classes at the next General Election will win the election for us, regardless of who is Prime Minister.

The Freedom of Speech must be Counterbalanced

by the Freedom of the Individual

7 February 2006

Dear Site Visitors

I am most concerned about the claims that making racist cartoons is the use of free speech.

I maintain that if when one uses ones freedom to make a comment that subtracts from another person''s freedom, in this case to practice a religion unhindered, then a crime has been committed. An international law must be applied that gives those that have their rights attacked by free speech should be protected under national laws. I would certainly like to see such a fundamental freedom developed in Europe, and hope that you will act with me on this matter.

Yours faithfully

Slashing Petrol Burnt by 50%

26 January 2006

Dear Site Visitors

I am very concerned about the environment, and so am informing you of this invention, even though it is not my own. It was seen by me on the TV program "Tomorrows'' World" in The UK decades ago. In the program an Inventor had managed to get oil and water to mix, and then burned the resulting mix in a car engine. He had found that an ultrasonic vibrating dibber (probe) would mix petrol and water permanently. (A friend of mine at The University of Hertfordshire who was lecturing in Chemistry confirmed that an ultrasonic vibrating dibber (probe) did have this effect.) The mix was 50% petrol, and 50% water. After adjusting the carburetor the car ran well, the main emission from the exhaust pipe being water. The said Inventor was attempting to put an even higher percentage of water into the mix to make driving even more economical. As the invention came to nothing I can only assume that some rich oil company bought his patent and then buried the invention so that they could sell more oil. However, the patent will now have expired anyway, so I would like to see this excellent invention resurface.

I therefore ask you to join me in a campaign for a scheme similar to the way that unleaded petrol was brought in, to bring this in too. Within a couple of years the amount of petrol burnt on the roads of Europe could be cut by at least half, car pollution will be halved and hopefully driving expenses will also be cut, presumable by almost half. With oil becoming an increasingly scarce resource this Invention is too good an opportunity to miss. I do not have the financial resources to bring this Invention into production, but we have a duty to. I would appreciate it if you could help ensure that the trials of the Invention, and it''s coming into production are swift.

I also assume that this method could be used to convert diesel vehicles, and of course, oil burning power stations. This invention will go a long way to achieving international reductions in Greenhouse Gas emissions and it is far too important to ignore. I therefore look forward to your action in this matter.

Yours faithfully

Cutting down the Number of Conventional Wars

26 January 2006

Dear Site Visitors

The military industrial complex has to be subsidized by the tax payer in order to make a profit. But in order to make use of these subsidies their weapons have to be sold, and a large amount of funding and lobbying of politicians results. My answer is that in order to create an atmosphere for peace we need to have international rules that prevent political lobbying by the Arms Industry, combined with the prevention of holding Shares in the Arms Trade by both politicians and secret service agents. (Secret Services have been know to lie to Heads of State in order to start wars and lengthen The Cold War)

The money at present spent on arms is non productive and thus takes money out of the money supply. With my peace plan, as the money supply increases, so money making production will increase. This would thus boost the world economy and lift many in the World out of poverty.

Yours faithfully
