[Terrapreta] ethanol media blitz

[lou gold]

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT FOLKS.
THEY ARE TARGETING BRAZIL AND ECO FOLKS IN GENERAL.
I THINK THE DETROIT/OIL COMPANY/AGRIBUSINESS ALLIANCE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN
BE CHALLENGED.


So you folks with networks, etc can now make a story of it. Don't hesitate
to spin conspiracies or whatever, or to sound paranoid or outrageous.
Sensational is good, it makes it fly around the Internet. And it carries TP
along to who knows where.

Go for it.
