Tonight Ashtweth Palise returns to the show with the latest news from the Open Source Free Energy movement.

Ashtweth runs two websites which we commend to our listeners:

• panaceauniversity.org
  


• panacea-bocaf.org

What is "Free Energy"?

This is a highly controversial term, even amongst those who believe it is possible to extract large and useful amounts of energy by unconventional means. The word Free could imply there is no cost and is somehow magical. That is not correct, perhaps cheap is a better term; and the well-documented science behind many of them certainly is not magic. These devices will of course cost money, and there will be significant limitations to their efficiency and effectiveness; especially until they are developed further.

Free also pertains to the fact that they are all pollution free, using no external chemical fuels and often requiring much less electricity to operate than they output (or least being much more efficient than traditional means). But perhaps the most accurate use of the word Free would relate to the change in society that these inventions would bring: Freedom from the electrical grid and filling stations Freedom from an economy built on scarcity. And freedom from the need to pollute our planet to maintain a high level of civilization.

For an introduction to the core ideas behind the various technologies discussed in the show I recommend the documentary It runs on water which was aired on British television in 1995.


In the second half of tonight's show we examine the explosive  implications of statements made recently by the U.S. Vice President Jo Biden to the effect that  Israel has a  "sovereign right" to attack Iran. These statements were made in an interview with George Stephanopoulos aired on ABC television (U.S) on 5 July.

Review  - "The International"
In the final segment of the show I review the film "The International", with a short clip and some commentary.



Film trivia: An explosive shootout scene takes place inside New York's famous Guggenheim Museum, in which the museum appears to take severe damage. To film the scene, the film's production team used the Guggenheim's original blueprints to build a full-size replica of its interior in an old abandoned locomotive warehouse. Construction of the replica took 4 months.
