I know I said I would focus on the broader aspects, and I have some things to post. Just wanted make sure to note that even the WSJ is printing that the IS is stronger now than they were after their summer siege - in spite of records of amounts of bombs..

Months of Airstrikes Fail to Slow Islamic State in Syria Militant Group Has Gained Territory Despite U.S.-Led Strikes, Raising Concerns of the Obama Administration’s Mideast Strategy. WASHINGTON—More than three months of U.S. airstrikes in Syria have failed to prevent Islamic State militants from expanding their control in that country, according to U.S. and independent assessments, raising new concerns about President Barack Obama’s military strategy in the Middle East.

Who will buy IS oil and who will sell them wheat. An Army runs on it stomach.

As Yemen falls into the hands of Iranian backed "rebels".... A++++, NOW THAT VW BOUGHT THE LAST OF SCANIA IT DID NOT OWN ISREAL HAS MORE POWER FROM CORN!!!!(BIODIESEL) ;;; Clean air withOUT So2
Just a thought, BiMetalAuPt
[social_buttons] Scania (part of Volkswagen) builds modified, heavy-duty diesel engines designed to run on almost pure ethanol (E95, or 95% ethanol, with a 5% ignition improver).
If that sounds weird, that’s because it is. US auto manufacturers make a big deal out of converting cars and trucks to run on ethanol/gasoline blends of up to 85% ethanol. Scania has done better than that for 15 years, and guess what, their engines can run on 100% biodiesel too, without any modification.
Scania’s compression-ignition (CI) ethanol engine is a modified 9-liter diesel with a few modifications. Scania raised the compression ratio from 18:1 to 28:1, added larger fuel injection nozzles, and altered the injection timing. The fuel system also needs different gaskets and filters, and a larger fuel tank since the engine burns 65% to 70% more ethanol than diesel (whoa! see below). The thermal efficiency of the engine is comparable to a diesel, 43% compared to 44%.
While Scania originally introduced this technology for “heavy commercial vehicles in urban operation” (city buses), they’re now extending it to trucks as well. Scania maintains that with existing technology, the transition to renewable fuels can be painless. Since in the last 15 years they’ve put 600 ethanol buses on the road (mostly in Sweden), the company seems to know what it’s talking about.
Scania is also working to develop ethanol refueling infrastructure, which should make it easier for smaller transport companies to invest in ethanol-powered vehicles.
But why not use biodiesel, since ethanol requires about 1.5x more fuel usage? Scania’s answer may raise a few eyebrows: “the farming capacity [for biodiesel] is insufficient for the huge need foreseen for the transport industry.”
Unless you take EU spokesman Michael Mann’s comments seriously (he said that Europe can grow enough fuel to meet 10% of it’s transportation fuel), Scania must be betting on cellulosic ethanol. The intensifying food vs. fuel debate isn’t taking this issue lightly, as I’ve written about here and here.
In any case, Scania’s work seems to indicate it might not be as hard to create engines that run on alternative fuels as auto manufacturers maintain.

no you the That is great news! But why use cellulose? Garbage to ethanol makes more sense, IMO. To an automated future and rebuilding the East. (I had some reading to share. But since upgrading to 5.0.2 this tablet seems to now reloaded pages every time a tab is switched..)

With global warming we grow grapes for wine. Well the worm pits will be planted with regent next year. Regent is a red wine vine from Germany that makes an organic wine near in very cold German vineyards. Now go to the future, Purple Passion Potato patch over the leaf little( around the paper slurry) is looking better now the compost is a year older!!
More Later, God Bless you and yours, Bruce aka BiMetalAuPt

! That's what the cellulose is for, feeding the worms. They love some corn meal. Garbage to ethanol in trucks that haul corn to worms that clean land for food energy, that will also translate into garbage for RNG and ethanol... Looks like business can live off the land, eh?

The day after the mujahideen attacks in Copenhagen, Denmark the largest carnival parade of the season in Northern Germany was cancel due to threats made by mujahedeen supporters. Earlier this month tens of thousand of Muslims flooded Downing St to hand in a petition sign by more than 100k Muslims calling for a limit to free speech. After more than a dozen innocent people haven been murdered in free countries around the globe over the last six months, the biggest out cry from the Muslim communities in the west mirror those in Pakistan, Iran, and many other Muslim countries - which is to call for further limits to the "western" way of life. The evidence is more than clear now that the desire to have an "Islamic State" rule the world isn't just the goal of a small minority of Muslims. Too bad for them that Mohammad is - in fact - a false prophet and Islam is going to collapse as the Eastern hemisphere sans Australia does. Yemen is just another case and point of this fact. Aside from the US, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey have now closed their embassies there, and the Iranian backed rebels have sized more government buildings in another town; while the Arabs call for the UN to intervene. We thought Libya looked bad.. er was that Iraq? No Syria. No Afghanistan.. No the Ukraine, where pro Russian rebels have now apparently sized a rail hub. Global conflict to world depression to the age of the Messiah.

The reports of mujahedeen fighters flooding from Libya to Itay must have some teeth. Italy has apparently ordered Martial law on a small scale - but martial law none the less.

The BEAST behind the curtain has started to rear its ugly head. Boko Haram council considers loyalty to Islamic State. What you mean al queda, al-shabbob, Boko Haram, the Islamic State, and any other Islamic "terrorist" group out there is one in the same? All funded by the Saudi school of Salafism?

Lather, rinse, repeat. The Islamic State has taken two oil fields in Libya and the govt has essentially said that 9-11 more are about to fall.New maps for a new year. Notice where the black arrows are coming from, and how Boko Haram has confirmed what I'm saying about the Mujahedin..

The "government" in Libya has "closed" the 11 oil fields in the center of the country. So much for cutting off the Islamic States oil revenues. It would appear that the lightning advance that was apparently stopped by all this bombing has moved to a different area. ISIS:Pro Palestinians Groups in Europe actually Sleeper Cells

A++++ , There are more hit men on the boot of Italy. HOW ABOUT A $1,000,000 "CONTREACT " PLUS ON EVERY ISIS GUN? End the recession in Italy like WWII. and Israel may make a $$$$ selling next generation autos.
CHEAPER THEN WAR!! BiMetalAuPt
