LEARNING FROM HISTORY


Dear Readers:


I have heard it said that "those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it."


In a telephone conversation with a friend of mine (who happens to reside in an oil-producing nation), he stated:


"You Americans are fools. You knew that you had an oil crisis forty years ago, and yet you have done nothing about it! Your own oil refining companies have dissuaded you from using atomic energy because they want to keep you dependent on oil; they profit while your country goes into an economic recession. You had a crisis in the 70s and in the 80s...and still, you refused to deal with reality.


"You are the richest nation in the world, but your wealth is all buried in the ground, and nobody wants to pick up a shovel. What good is your wealth if you are too fat and lazy to use it? You should be ashamed! "


He was not talking about gold. He was talking about Thorium.


Perhaps our politicians have been shoveling the wrong commodity for too long.

DENIAL, BETRAYAL & STUPIDITY

Dear Readers:




We will not discuss thorium, thorium-powered safe nuclear reactors, the increasing value of THORIUM ENERGY, INC.'s resources and reserves of thorium and the Rare Earth Elements in the rich veins of its properties in the Lemhi Pass District. We won't discuss thorium as a quality investment in a high-utility (a pun!), appreciating commodity. We will not talk about the alternative uses of thorium in radiation shielding, high-tech components, testing devices and the like.

We will not discuss the growing international acceptance of the Thorium Alternative. We will not talk about India, Canada, China, Korea and the Members of the European Union. We will not even touch upon our President's negotiations with India (about Uranium) or Iran (also about Uranium) No. We will limit ourselves to a discussion of "U.S. Energy Proposals" being discussed at present. Hence, ladies and gentlemen, I present, for your amusement {cue drumroll}.....


A SYNOPSIS OF U.S. ENERGY "PROPOSALS" BEING DISCUSSED AT PRESENT



  1. The self-proclaimed inventor of the Internet and self-appointed environmental conscience of the United States, non-candidate (so far) Al Gore has issued a noble challenge to the American people to develop a source of sustainable energy within the next ten years, preferably using wind or solar power. Mr. Gore even went so far as to say (I'm taking a bit of editorial license here and paraphrasing), "Heck. The wind and the sun are always going to be around. We're not going to run out of either of them!" His goal is to eliminate all US dependence on fossil fuels by 2018. In my opinion, he should also offer a big reward to the person or group of persons who accomplish this great feat as a further incentive to getting some push behind this idea. Mr. Gore always amazes me -- the best thing by far, though, is that I no longer feel compelled to have my daughters go to "Ivy League" universities. Al Gore has shown me the end product of an Ivy League education, and, while I don't believe that he will make much headway with his "Energy Challenge", I think he would do a great deal better politically if he would confine himself to other subjects, like climatic change, the benefits of recycling, and getting the most out of compost.LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
  2. President Bush, ever resourceful, and a card-carrying member of the Toastmaster's Club, is eagerly lobbying to lift the bans on offshore oil drilling off of the coast of this country. He already has his lucky pen out -- perhaps he wants to drill the first hole himself. Residents of California, Florida and some other "dangerously" coastal states are understandably upset. While it might be true that if we initiated an aggressive program of offshore drilling we could well be "swimming in oil", (to paraphrase Mr. Bush, who pronounces it "awl" because of his Connecticut roots)...the point of contention here might be that the American People would prefer to be swimming in water. Fool me once...LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
  3. Presidential hopeful John McCain, war hero, cancer survivor and occasional panderer to the Christian Right (but only as necessary) has a clear goal -- he wants 34 nuclear reactors built, up and running within the next twenty years. He is long on ambition and gritty determination, but a bit short on the "how" part of his own proposal.

In the meantime, the scientific community, the environmentalist community and the general public are gravitating toward thorium. Thankfully, so is the US Legislature, who have gotten all of the benefit which they could derive from excusing the tremendous rise in the price of oil and gasoline, and will be relieved of that burden during the next presidency. We should all be looking forward to January, 2009, and to the end of a very powerfully entrenched oiligopoly's absolute and unchecked power.

Thorium (which I promised that I wouldn't mention) is not pie-in-the sky. It is simply the best possibility for ending our enslavement to fossil fuels and to the companies that are heavily invested in interests that are contrary to the safety, prosperity and well-being of the American people. All of this other rhetoric is either denial (a psychological problem), betrayal (a treasonous propensity), or stupidity (a prerequisite for blissful happiness when times are quite difficult).

Faithfully,

THORIUM: POSSIBLE BECOMES PROBABLE




Dear Readers:


Please note these very significant facts and factors regarding thorium's rise to prominence as the most viable and acceptable energy source. We have the opportunity, in these troubled economic times (especially within the United States) to witness a wonderful phenomenon -- a phenomenon that has preceded every major historical event, scientific breakthrough, and cultural revolution -- We observe how the Possible Becomes Probable.


1. COMMENTARY ON INTEREST LEVEL IN THORIUM

The daily frequency of searches relating to thorium on Google, Yahoo! and the other "Top 100" search engines is increasing dramatically. The daily frequency, in the news, of the word "thorium" is increasing dramatically. The daily amount of thorium-related article headlines is increasing dramatically. The vast majority of popular "Green Bloggers" are pro-thorium, and in opposition to the alternatives The major oil companies are forcing an untenable agenda of drilling off of the Florida Panhandle and the coast of California (which cannot survive the environmentalist lobby, or the opinion of the voting public) to keep the U.S. addicted to oil, while they are quietly investing in thorium-related research, ostensibly to either A) try to "bury it." or B) to try to buy in early just in case they lose the power of their current stranglehold on petroleum. Do you hear a bell tolling?


2. COMMENTARY ON THORIUM IN THE INTERNATIONAL NEWS

India's Prime Minister has proclaimed that his principal priority is to create a thorium-fueled economy, independent of outside dependencies. President Bush is conducting discussions with India about our providing them with "seed fuel" for their nuclear reactors, if they agree to UN inspections -- this translates to A) Mr. Bush would like to create a strategic alliance with India, and B) that Mr. Bush and his advisors are aware of India's inevitable role in the safe resurrection of the Nuclear Energy Era, fueled by thorium and a kick-start of fissile material; Mr. Bush would rather that the U.S. supplied it to India, which country is anticipating a tremendous energy crisis because of growth in population and energy consumption per capita, than one of the U.S.' many increasingly emboldened adversaries.

Seen through our eyes, the U.S. is helping India to fuel its conversion to safe nuclear power so that the U.S. may, if necessary, give India license to become the world's major guinea pig, and to become a supplier of thorium to India. . Do you hear a bell tolling? I would strongly advise you to review all of the articles linked below -- sooner, better than later:




Enjoy these telling articles, from three very unrelated sources.


3. PRICE POINTS AND DOLLAR DEVALUATION

The U.S. Dollar is sliding against the Euro and other international currencies. The U.S. is a "bargain basement" for foreign institutional purchasers. Internationally speaking, thorium is a bargain. Do you hear a bell tolling?


4. THE FLIGHT TO VALUE

Investors are shifting away from U.S. Dollar-based debt instruments and many publicly-traded equity securities, and into commodities which are either A) under the ground, B) growing out of the ground, or C) shiny, and small enough in size to fit in a home safe or in a drawer in a bank's safe. THORIUM ENERGY, INC. has plenty of thorium resting (and appreciating) comfortably in the ground. Do you hear a bell tolling?


5. THE SLOW REALIZATION OF THE MASSES

Ah, yes. The U.S. public, when not watching Oprah; the clock on the wall at the office; the posterior of the person immediately in front of him (or her); a stack of unpaid bills piling up on the living-room bureau; or some iPod-laden skateboarder zipping out in front of a speeding delivery truck, is watching change or the lack of change.

Many hithertofore patriotic, flagwaving, "let's get those terrorists, and give up our constitutional and civil rights if necessary," status-quo-contented, boss-hating, slogan-quoting, plastic bracelet-wearing, average (?) citizens (as well as an increasingly large contingent of illegal immigrants who are paradoxically protected by the same nation which agreed, by due process, to make it against the law for them to be here!) are emerging from a long hibernating season of denial to find themselves utterly destitute. Gasoline is expensive. Groceries are expensive. Factories are closing. Employment is evaporating. Foreclosures abound and too many homes are suddenly up for sale. And these folks are getting suspicious. And angry.

It is not just about climatic change. It is about a looming depression and a feeling of having been taken advantage of. They are starting to hear the bell tolling.

Thorium has left the ethereal and speculative world of the possible, and has ascended to the real world of the probable. Thorium - The Time Has Come.

Think Thorium.
