Volkswagen, DieselGate And What If Nazi Ruled The World?

  



  It is not about hard working brilliant engineers and workers at Volkswagen in Germany and all over the world. And it is a rhetorical question. You already live in that world. Let's start with the definition:

Nazi - a member of National Socialist German Workers' Party 

  The fat cats in the boardrooms have let us all down again. The key word here is Nationalism. It was not really about socialism or workers, it was about the control of masses and the grand idea. Idea was simple: that one nation can be better than others and, as we all know, it can take you quite a long way with the stretch of the evil imagination. We live in the world when some people have decided that they are better than others. We will not go as far as discussing Brothers and other "conspiracy theories" today, but let's just have a look at the corporate world. 
  It is all about Nationalism (Your Corporation), Control and Punishment if you are out of line. Living from cheque to cheque is not helping to built up your independence. This is why there is a War on the middle class in the West. Independent people are dangerous to the System by definition. Here comes Debt and slavery to the banks by generations only to pay off the ticket just to get on the ladder of the "American Dream". 
  All major corporate crimes can be committed only when the masses are silent being busy digesting fast food with video games and Facebook "friends". Or deeper: when corporate slavery affects you own perspective from the cubicle so much that you think that it is Not Evil any more.
  This is what happened at Volkswagen. This is what happening with Fracking and GMO. They all affect literally billions of people on our planet. It is a corporate mass murder sanctioned by the corrupt politicians. Now we know about Volkswagen and it is already growing into the DieselGate, when nobody of auto-makers really is in compliance with toxic emissions limits. The next is coming the AutoGate, when ALL cars are emitting deadly pollutions at much higher levels than we all have thought. 
  And we are not talking about the socialism in any cense here, it is just the problem that we do not have capitalism in the West as well. We are not against corporations, but the corrupted HFT version of the wild corporate capitalism now is pushing more and more young people to the nihilism and socialism is on the rise in the West again. Evil minds will get into power driving the desperation again. But we are out of politics and, thanks God, we have the solution now. 
  Let's stop talking and let's start walking. But walking to the Solution - not just ban all the cars, get in the communes again and read with a candle. No, we do not have to do it any more, despite of Fossil Fuel corporate propaganda. Finally technology has made it possible not only to preserve "our way of life", but make it better without sacrificing anything or, what is even more important, anyone.
  If somebody in Power does really want it, we have all technology and solutions available now. If somebody in Power was allowed by the Corporations who paid her ticket there - we have all the money to make it. Just take all costs of all Wars - yes, they all about Control of Energy and Oil means Energy to us even now. Add here all Trillions in tax breaks and subsidies provided to Fossil Fuel Industries. Nuclear will go here as well. Add all billions wasted on Hydrogen - it will be controlled by the same Old Big Oil, we will not even talk about the very low energy efficiency of full Energy cycle of Hydrogen To Wheel today. Add here all medical bills for cancer and other chemical pollution related deceases. It will be enough for a very good and fast start to the race into the post carbon world!
  Invest this money into Electric Cars, Solar and Wind. Put trucks on the natural Gas first and Hybrids later. Move to the real Energy Security with distributed Solar and Wind power generation. Close all coal plants and nuclear as well. Use the Sun: Solar and Wind power costs are dropping like a stones now, why do we have to live still in the stone age in cages provided by Big Oil and Fossils? It was supposed to be over - the stone age, and not due to the lack of stones, we have the technology to make it without burning fossil fuels now.
  Maybe now we have a chance, finally, with all our social media? Do not hold your breath thou. There is a Kill Switch. Once you start talking about the real things, censors are here: you are just getting lost - so far so good, it is only in the social media. And it is not in China or with Putin, it is here on Twitter …
 Snowden is trending with his latest revelations how "They" can take over your iPhone. "They" will take over everything if you allow it! And the last thought on social media: we have multiple choices now, but just check the quality and what kind of message do you get from all those multiple streams. It is great that you can chose, but than again GMO is claiming its victims …
  Why is it so long? Because the time has come. Other people will make the choice for you as usual. We are not talking here about poor asylum seekers or millions of refuges displaced by Wars for Oil. We are talking about you driving Range Rover to the school where your kids are breathing toxic cancerogenic air from thousands of other cars around them. Where is your rage, are you mad as hell for all of them lying to us? At least for your kids? No, don't take guns, do not vote for socialist or even do not stop to drive. Just bring change, demand it, talk about it, donate your RT! Vote with your wallet. When you can buy your electric car. Stop buying all that killing us rubbish. Just do not let "Them" decide for you again and raise 70% toxic emissions standards in order that auto-makers can comply with it!
  And it is not your choice any more, The big pain is coming. Lithium Technology is here to change our world. Elon Musk will not make it all alone. We have to push our society to accept this disruption and stop burning fossil fuels to produce our energy. We have to have our "Manhattan plan" to make it.
  China is rising and it has the military plan to build electric cars as strategic industry. It is great … for China, what about us? Do you know that Lithium Battery was developed in the West? It was commercialised by SONY in 80s and now South Korea is the leading manufacturer with Samsung and LG Chem. But China already controls 75% of Lithium Hydroxide which goes into Tesla batteries and they are moving very fast with their own Megafactories to rival Tesla with its Gigafactory to produce lithium batteries on the mass scale. The pain is coming, you can't stop it. Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) will be dying with Fossil Fuels. It is just law of nature. Electric Cars are better and they will become cheaper as well  very soon. We can make it as a pain of growth, but who will make it?  All these jobs for The Next Industrial rEVolution could be here, not just going again to China. Germany with its brilliant engineers can produce batteries and electric cars and it can happen in every country. But they all need your help to change, what have you done lately?

Kirill Klip.: International Lithium Corp. A Potential Source For Green Technology Minerals. $ILC.v $TNR.v $TSLA $LIT


Strategic Partner, Ganfeng Lithium, Announces Initial Budget for Joint Ventures with International Lithium. $ILC.v TNR.v $LIT $TSLA




  Rare Earth elements or metals (REEs) are essential elements in clean-energy technologies. In recent years REEs have received plenty of coverage concurrent to growing environmental concerns.  The rare-earth topic is no longer obscure and discussions regarding future REE shortages are beginning to emerge in mainstream media. Today international governments and organizations are pushing efforts to develop solutions to the rising scarcity threat, one of the biggest being that only 1 percent of critical materials are currently being recycled (they are difficult to recover economically), and so the race to find viable sources for REEs is on.



  The Green Technology Industry is the largest end-user of REEs and is continually growing with the development of electric vehicles and green energy electrical generators; wind turbines and solar panels. According to the American Chemistry Society, Lithium is among these endangered metals. China, which controls 97% of global rare earth production, has made significant investments in securing their supply. One excellent example of this is the recent news from China based Ganfeng Lithium Corp. regarding their 15million yuan (US $2.4 million) investment into International Lithium’s Blackstairs Pegmatite project in Ireland and the Mariana Brine project in Argentina for the 2014 budget year.  Ganfeng Lithium Corp. is one of the largest lithium product suppliers in the world supplying ILC with both capital and expertise and providing the global green technology industry with a new potential source of lithium supply.



  Ganfeng’s transaction signifies confidence in ILC’s capabilities as ILC is currently one of the only publicly traded Canadian Corporations receiving funding from China after the collapse of the multi-million dollar CNOOC/Nexen deal. The Blackstairs Lithium project in Ireland is particularly momentous as a recent European Union study concluded that rare earth supply constraints could hamper clean energy efforts. Ireland has pledged to make the mining process more efficient as part of an approach to boost lithium production. Subsequent to the Blackstairs funding announcement, Jianguo Xu, Chinese Ambassador to Ireland, paid a courtesy call to Richard Bruton, Ireland’s Minister for Jobs, Enterprise & Innovation, to discuss how to promote pragmatic and mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries.  



  Beyond the growing demand and investment from Chinese conglomerates, encouraging headlines have also come out of Argentina, which is home to ILC’s Lithium-Brine Project located within the famous Andes Lithium Triangle. The political tide appears to have made a turn for the better this year as governments in Argentina took positive steps towards modernizing public policy to encourage foreign investment. Not only was the national currency devalued to bring it closer to its real value but new economic systems to measure real impacts of inflation were implemented. The settlement with Spanish oil giant Repsol over the YPF nationalization is another indicator that change for the better is in the works. In addition, an unprecedented debt repayment deal was struck with the “Paris Club” of creditor nations, and Lumina Copper’s announcement that First Quantum Minerals has agreed to purchase the Taca Taca copper project for $470 million  should help to shore up lingering doubts about the direction  Argentina’s mining industry is headed. Taca Taca is approximately 70 kilometres from ILC’s Mariana project and any infrastructure built to facilitate production at Taca Taca will also benefit Mariana.



  ILCs goes beyond traditional mine development and is creating a business model that is focused on cooperation and growth. Ganfeng Lithium and ILC are jointly working on a vertical integration plan to develop both lithium projects and have just announced an exploration budget for 2014. With the REE demand growing and Tesla’s big Open Source move, this venture could not have occurred at a more opportune time.



About International Lithium Corp. 


  International Lithium Corp. is an exploration company with an outstanding portfolio of projects, strong management ownership, robust financial support and a strategic partner and keystone investor Ganfeng Lithium Co. Ltd., a leading China based lithium product manufacturer.

The Company's primary focus is the Mariana lithium-potash brine project, within the renowned South American "Lithium Belt" that is the host to the vast majority of global lithium resources, reserves and production. The 160 square kilometre Mariana project strategically encompasses an entire mineral rich evaporate basin that ranks as one of the more prospective salars or 'salt lakes" in the region.

Complementing the Company's lithium brine project are rare metals pegmatite properties in Canada and Ireland. These projects reported highly encouraging lithium mineralization in drill holes targeting pegmatites that are unexposed at surface (news releases dated April 3,2013 and June 25, 2013).

With the increasing demand for high tech rechargeable batteries used in vehicle propulsion technologies and portable electronics, lithium is paramount to tomorrow's "green-tech" economy. By positioning itself with solid development partners and acquiring high quality grass roots projects at an early stage of exploration, ILC aims to be the green tech resource explorer of choice for investors and build value for its shareholders.

Kirill Klip.: Why Lithium? You Can Choose Your Reason: BMW i8 Or A $26 Billion Lithium Battery Market. $ILC.v $TNR.v $LIT

  

  Our quest's post today dives into the Lithium Market and why this metal is chosen by the auto-industry for its Electric Cars all over the world.

Kirill Klip.:


Why Lithium? You Can Choose Your Reason: BMW i8 Or A $26 Billion Lithium Battery Market.


  Advance in Lithium Technology has made this kind of Electric Cars possible. BMW i8 is a Plug-In Hybrid - its full electric range is only 23 miles, but this car makes the statement how the Electric Future looks like already today. Lithium batteries are now the auto industry choice and this market will rise dramatically according to the recent report released by Navigant Research: "Lithium Ion Batteries for Electric Vehicles Will Surpass $26 Billion in Annual Revenue by 2023." I will not go into the heavy stuff today which is making Lithium Technology so special: like specific power, energy density and memory effect, but you can study it in the report:
“The shift to lithium ion represents a major endorsement of the ability of this chemistry to perform consistently in an automotive environment,” says David Alexander, senior research analyst with Navigant Research.  “Most of the major automakers have introduced battery electric vehicle (BEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) models in the last two years, almost all of which use lithium ion batteries for onboard energy storage.”


  Europe is the very important market for our strategic partner Ganfeng Lithium: now we are advancing our Blackstairs Lithium project in Ireland under the $10 million J/V agreement with our partner from China.


International Lithium: Moving Forward With Ganfeng Lithium.

"Ganfeng Lithium now operates its expanded production facilities which were put online last year. Company stock is halted due to "major asset acquisition announcement". ILC projects could become the part of Vertically Integrated Lithium Business supplying the raw materials to Ganfeng Lithium. Headlines about horrible air pollution in China are making rounds last couple of years and now Chinese government has declared The War on Pollution. I am proud to be the part of this fight for clean air with our International Lithium Team and this move provides the unique business opportunity for us. All major auto makers have announced J/V operations to produce Electric Cars in China and even Elon Musk from Tesla Motors is talking about Tesla Model S production in China in 3-4 years time."

International Lithium Meets The First BMW i8 Electric Drive in UK at Wentworth!

  I am looking forward to the start of BMW PGA Golf Tournament at Wentworth to meet BMW i8 and BMW i3 in person again! I will post some pictures."
