News
Marching cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream.
As far as the rest of the world goes, I'm afraid gossip, "infotainment" and propaganda have taken over. We need a news channel that doesn't have to pander to corporate and government interests (unfortunately, those two are the same thing these days).
So how about a publicly sponsored news channel with no government
funding, no advertisers, no corporate influence!
No Strings! Honest, real journalism?

Terra Preta: Also known as bio-char or agrichar, is created with pyrolysis (a method of creating charcoal and therefore keeping some of the carbon intact). - Can we go carbon-negative? If we could store more carbon in the ground and not keep cutting down all those forests, we could possibly reverse our carbon output. - University soil experts are investigating how these dark soils were created (hundreds of years ago) and why they work so well at both storing and supplying nutrients for robust plant growth.

I'm afraid this is a true story!
Here's the link to the actual document from the Whitehouse. Here's a short article explaining the results. - Basically, In case of a "catastrophic emergency"... "The President shall lead the activities of the Federal Government for ensuring constitutional government." Sounds simple and harmless, but it gives the president control that would overrule congress and the courts. Yipes!
