This Guy Converted His Motorcycle To Run On Water! Now He Will Have To Watch His Back

<p><a href="http://cdn10.trueactivist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/water-motorcyle.jpg"><img alt="water motorcyle" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-36366" height="197" src="http://cdn11.trueactivist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/water-motorcyle-400x197.jpg" width="400" /></a>For decades there have been stories about vehicles that could run on water, and now we can actually see one of these vehicles in action. The T Power H20 motorbike was developed in Sao Paulo, Brazil by a man named Ricardo Azevedo.</p>
<p>The motorcycle can travel up to 310 miles on just a liter of water, and it does not require any specific type of water. Azevedo has even demonstrated how the motorcycle works using polluted water from a nearby river.</p>
<p>The motorcycle works by combining a battery with a water combustion system that helps to generate electricity.</p>
<p>In the video demonstrating his invention, Azevedo uses clean water to power the bike and drinks it on camera to show that it is not fuel.</p>
<p><em>“The advantage of this motorcycle, which works with the hydrogen that comes from the water, is that the result that comes out of the exhaust is water vapour. This is different from gasoline, which the result is carbon monoxide,</em>” <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3169716/Motorcycle-runs-water-polluted-river-travel-310-miles-single-litre.html" target="_blank">Azevedo said.</a></p>
<p>Azevedo’s invention could entirely change the transportation industry, but he should be careful because inventors like him have been discredited and even killed in the past. The best way to keep Azevedo and his invention safe is to spread the word about it so it is more difficult for competing interests to sweep it under the rug.</p>

<p>A group of progressive members of Congress introduced a $15 an hour national minimum wage bill on Wednesday as hundreds of federal contract workers went on strike to protest their job conditions.</p>
<p>Introduced in the Senate by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and in the House by Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) and Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.), the bill would go far beyond the current federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour and make it easier for federal workers to join a union.</p>
<p>The proposed legislation follows another bill introduced by congressional Democrats in April that would raise the federal minimum wage to $12 an hour. Republicans have so far resisted raising the minimum wage.</p>
<p>President Barack Obama issued an executive order last year raising the wage for federal contract workers to $10.10 an hour. But Sontia Bailey, a federally-contracted cashier at the U.S. Capitol, said she "struggled to survive" on $10.59 an hour. She was forced to take on a second job at Kentucky Fried Chicken, and works 70 hours a week.</p>
<p>"KFC actually pays me more than Uncle Sam," she said at a rally in support of the $15 minimum wage bill outside the Capitol. "I'm here because America needs to know that long hours and low pay hurt working women and families."</p>
<p>Her hours had taken a toll on her health, Bailey said, explaining that she had a miscarriage three weeks ago.</p>
<p>"The truth is, I couldn't afford to weep. I had to get back to work, so I could have a proper and decent funeral for my baby last Saturday," she said. "A living wage and a union is the only way working women can get ahead, and stay ahead."</p>
<p>Bailey's comments were echoed by Charles Gladden, a Senate contract worker who makes $11.33 an hour. Gladden was homeless, sleeping outside a Metro station a few blocks from the White House, until a crowdfunding campaign raised enough for him to live in an apartment.</p>
<p>"Workers shouldn't have to rely on charity in order to survive," he said. "We need justice. Even though I now have a roof over my head, I'm still worried about holding on to it. ... The truth is that all the workers out here are just like me, we all are just one step away from being homeless, we are all one meal away from being hungry."</p>
<p>Other Senate janitors and food service workers, as well as workers from the Capitol Visitor Center, the Pentagon, Union Station, the National Zoo and the Smithsonian Institution, joined Gladden and Bailey in protest. Good Jobs Nation, an advocacy group backed by the Change to Win labor coalition, organized the strike.</p>
<p>Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Sanders and other senators sent a letter to Obama in response to Gladden's story, calling on the president to issue a "model employer" executive order that would give contracting preference to firms that pay a living wage, offer health care and sick leave, and guarantee union rights for workers.</p>
<p>Sanders, who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, said on Wednesday that he was introducing the $15 minimum wage bill because "workers are entitled to dignity," and noted that the U.S. government is the nation's "largest low-wage employer."</p>
<p>"I think if you work 40 hours a week, you have a right not to live in poverty," he continued. "The current federal minimum wage is a starvation wage. It's got to be raised to a living wage."</p>
<p>The federal minimum wage, which has not been raised since 2009, would be more than $26 an hour today if the wage had kept pace with productivity and inflation since 1968. In a press release, Sanders' office said increasing the minimum wage would benefit 62 million workers who currently make less than $15 an hour, including over half of African-American workers and nearly 60 percent of Latino workers.</p>
<p>Sanders noted that Los Angeles, Seattle, and San Francisco have already passed ordinances raising their minimum wage to $15 an hour, and argued that the federal government should do the same.</p>
<p>Momentum for a higher federal minimum has continued to build as New York’s Wage Board is expected to approve a new $15 minimum wage for the state’s 200,000 fast food workers on Wednesday. A majority of states have a minimum wage higher than the one mandated by Congress.</p>
<p>Capitol contract workers had previously gone on strike in April, after workers in more than 230 cities walked off the job as a part of the union-backed Fight for $15 movement, calling on corporations to raise their wages.</p>
<p>Pamela Cadlett, a cashier in the Senate cafeteria, and Dewana Samuel, a Senate custodian, told The Huffington Post that they both made around $11 an hour. Cadlett, who has worked at the Senate for 13 years, saw her annual wage cut by more than half when Democrats led the push to privatize Senate dining services in 2008, using contractors to save money.</p>
<p>"I'm really struggling, I'm about to lose my home," Samuel added. "That's just really pitiful. I come to work every day ... I need food stamps, I need public assistance, it's just sad. I am grateful for the job, but I need more than the job."</p>
<p>The federal minimum wage has emerged as a fault line among the candidates seeking the Democratic presidential nomination. While Sanders and former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley both support a $15 an hour minimum wage, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton hasn't yet backed that specific proposal.</p>
<p>Clinton has said she supports a $15 an hour wage in large metropolitan areas, and has spoken in support of the Fight for 15 movement, but says she doesn't think such a proposal should necessarily be implemented nationwide.</p>

<p>House price rises of 5% a year and a shortage of affordable homes are set to swell the ranks of “generation rent” over the next decade, so that by 2025 more than half of those under 40 will be living in properties owned by private landlords.</p>
<p>A report from economists at accountancy firm PwC suggests the number of new homebuyers is set to fall over the next 10 years, as the high cost of raising a deposit locks large segments of society out of the housing market.</p>
<p>Levels of homeownership have gone into reverse after years of increases that were stoked by Margaret Thatcher’s right-to-buy policy and the deregulation of the mortgage-lending business,.</p>
<p>The PwC report suggests this trend will continue. By 2025, a quarter of all households will privately rent, they predict, with the biggest increase among those aged between 20 and 39, where “ a clear majority” will be private tenants within 10 years.</p>
<p>Renting privately is now the norm, the report says, for those who cannot afford to buy but do not qualify for social housing. By 2025, PwC predicts that 7.2 million households will be in rented accommodation, compared with 5.4 million today and just 2.3 million in 2001. Despite government efforts to help homebuyers, the number of households buying with mortgages will have fallen by 0.8 million to 7.2 million over the same period.</p>
<p>The report underlines the growing divide between those who can get on to the housing ladder and those who are unable to raise the funds to buy.</p>
<p>“House purchases have historically been a major factor in driving wealth accumulation of lower and middle classes,” it said. “The inability of many to get on the ladder may limit this avenue to social mobility in the future.”</p>
<p>Those already in the property market will continue to cash in as prices rise. The PWC report says that 35% of homes will be owned outright, without a mortgage, by 2025. In 1995, just 24% of homes were owned outright.</p>
<p>Home ownership levels hit a peak in 2003, when 71% of homes in England were owned outright or with a mortgage. It had been on an upward curve since the early 1980s, when Thatcher gave council tenants the right to buy their homes, and the liberalization of the financial sector made mortgages more easily available.</p>
<p>In the early 2000s, the advent of 100% mortgages and more relaxed lending criteria allowed buyers to keep up with rising prices, but affordability problems started to bite as the market reached its peak. The downward trend in ownership that started just before the financial crash was fueled by the credit crunch, which made banks and building societies less willing to lend.</p>
<p>Although first-time buyer numbers rose in 2014 – to just over 300,000 – the figure was well below the half a million a year previously regarded as normal. Research from the Council of Mortgage Lenders shows 71% of people born in 1970 were homeowners by the time they were 40, but among those born in 1990 the figure is likely to be just 47%.</p>
<p>According to PwC, those struggling to raise a deposit will continue to be thwarted by house price rises that outpace earnings growth. Although the rate of house price growth is set to fall back to 5% a year, the report said the average U.K. home would be worth around £360,000 by 2020, compared with £279,000 in 2015.</p>
<p>John Hawksworth, chief economist at PwC, said more homes were needed in the long term: “A large and sustained increase in affordable housing supply will be required to meet the needs of a U.K. population that is growing relatively rapidly by European standards.” He suggested policies to cap social rents, announced in the recent budget, could deter housing associations from investing heavily in building.</p>
<p>Hawksworth said moves to build more homes would not have an impact in the short term and plans to make buy-to-let investments less attractive to landlords were only likely to make a difference “at the margins.” He added: “The increase in renting wouldn’t be a problem if we had the levels of quality seen in countries like Germany.</p>
<p>“The solution to this doesn’t have to be to get more owner-occupiers, it could be to improve the quality of rented homes and allow for longer tenancies so people have more security in that sector.”</p>
<p>Neal Hudson, housing market analyst at property firm Savills, said the barrier for current prospective homebuyers was not the cost of owning but the cost of buying. “With low mortgage rates, annual housing costs are more affordable than for those in the rented tenures,” he said.</p>
<p>“Instead, with house prices still at many multiples of income and mortgage lending at high loan-to-values limited and expensive, it is the cost of raising a deposit that prevents many from buying a home.”</p>
<p>The director of the campaign group Generation Rent, Betsy Dillner, said high costs meant people in rented accommodation were struggling to save for the future. “As more low earners and retirees rent privately with no way to pay the rent, the taxpayer will pick up the tab,” she said.</p>
<p>“The government needs to have a plan B: to invest directly in housebuilding and reform renting to make it a genuine long-term alternative to home ownership. The longer they fail to act, the more renters they’ll have to answer to.”</p>
<p>The long-term effect of the movement away from home ownership was highlighted in a recent report for the Chartered Institute of Housing, which found that in 35 years’ time a third of people aged over 60 will live in rented accommodation.</p>
<p>David Beattie, managing director at pensions firm Aegon UK, said this could cause problems for future retirees. “Should homeowners need it, they can release the equity to fund their retirement or top up their income.” he said. “It was once a given that by the time people retired many would own their own home. However, as levels of home ownership tail off, more and more people do not have the luxury of a property safety net.”</p>

<p>A wide range of organizations, some of whom rarely get involved in non-electoral politics, are calling upon San Diegans to put on their protesting shoes this week during the annual meeting of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).</p>
<p>Protests, press conferences, teach-ins, rallies and guerrilla theater are happening throughout the week, commencing on Tuesday, July 21. Buses were coming from the Los Angeles/Long Beach areas on Wednesday for what organizers expected to be the largest events of the week.</p>
<p><strong>Why Protest ALEC?</strong></p>
<p>The march of pro-dirty energy, anti-equality and austerity-based legislation in recent decades has a direct correlation to the lack of opportunity and widening gap between the rich and the poor.</p>
<p>The American Legislative Exchange Council, with its closed-door meetings and dubious financial relationships with state legislators, has been the driving force behind many of these bad ideas. ALEC functions as a legislative "bill mill" where company lobbyists and right wing crusaders dictate their desires to elected representatives, brought together with corporate “scholarships” and the hope of future campaign support.</p>
<p>As Paul Krugman wrote, “ALEC, even more than other movement-conservative organizations, is clearly playing a long game. Its legislative templates aren’t just about generating immediate benefits to the organization’s corporate sponsors; they’re about creating a political climate that will favor even more corporation-friendly legislation in the future.”</p>
<p>A steadily mounting campaign of public exposure, fueled in large part by the investigative prowess of the Center for Media and Democracy, along with the activism of Color of Change and Common Cause, has led more than 90 of the corporate members who fund ALEC to withdraw their support.</p>
<p>Thousands of people signed a petition at Change.Org calling upon Mayor Kevin Faulconer to refuse to speak at ALEC’s annual conference alongside Tea Party leaders. In addition, members of San Diego’s Overpass Light Brigade assembled in front of the Manchester Grand Hyatt, where ALEC meeting attendees were staying, to stage a light brigade that read “STOP ALEC.”</p>
<p>San Diego Democrats held a “Stop ALEC Welcome Party” on Tuesday, gathering with other allied organizations to provide incoming ALEC legislators with a visual reminder that they are not welcome in San Diego.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, Dolores Huerta headlined a labor rally in which thousands of activists from the immigration, labor, interfaith and environmental justice communities came together at Embarcadero Park North. Speakers included Ethiopian-American labor activist Tefere Gebre, executive vice president of the AFL-CIO; activist Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers, and representatives from community groups.</p>
<p>The announcement for the rally included the following statement:</p>
<p>"The coalition of groups protesting the conference will stand together to deliver a message to the out-of-state politicians and their wealthy benefactors: California is a No ALEC Zone. Our state has roundly rejected ALEC’s regressive agenda that rolls back the rights of everyday people to further line the pockets of wealthy and powerful corporate interests.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, the statewide Courage Campaign also held a rally at Embarcadero Park North, stating ahead of time their reason for protesting ALEC:</p>
<p>“Legislators from across the country will arrive to take their marching orders from the Koch Brothers, giant corporations, and right-wing millionaires and billionaires. ALEC pushes model legislative bills designed to:</p>
<p>*restrict our ability to vote</p>
<p>*increase gun violence</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>destroy our environment</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>end our right to organize</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>and give billions of dollars away in corporate welfare.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>“They want to destroy marriage equality in America and halt all progress for LGTB rights…”</p>
<p>In addition, environmental activists with San Diego 350 met Wednesday to create a unified block protesting ALEC’s anti-climate change policies funded by “fossil fuel giant corporate members like ExxonMobil and Peabody Energy.”</p>

<p>It’s been an intense – and frightening – few months for those invested in alternative methods of helping others heal themselves. In this short time period, five natural health doctors have either mysteriously died or been intentionally killed, and another five have also gone missing under unexplained circumstances.</p>
<p><a href="http://thefreethoughtproject.com/5-holistic-heath-doctors-dead-5-missing-month-run-ins-feds/">TheFreeThoughtProject</a> began <a href="http://thefreethoughtproject.com/3-alternative-health-doctors-dead-run-ins-feds/">reporting these disturbing happenings</a> when Dr. Jeff Bradstreet, a renowned autism researcher from Florida, was found with a gunshot wound to his chest on June 19. According to police, the gunshot wound was self-inflicted, therefore they ruled the death a suicide almost immediately.</p>
<p>But Bradstreet’s <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/06/29/anti-vaccine-doctor-behind-dangerous-autism-therapy-found-dead-family-cries-foul/">family suspects foul play</a>, and therefore set up a donation page in effort <strong><em>“To find the answers to the many questions leading up to the death of Dr Bradstreet, including an exhaustive investigation into the possibility of foul play.”</em></strong></p>
<p>Only <em>days</em> later, Dr. Bruce Hedendal, DC Ph.D., of the Miami area was found slumped over in his car with <strong>no</strong> indication as to what caused his death. Details regarding Hedendal’s death are even cloudier that the Bradstreet’s, as those who knew him report that he was extremely fit and healthy. In fact, he had been doing an athletic event earlier in the day before being found dead.</p>
<p>Is it a coincidence both doctors had previously run into problems with the feds due to their holistic treatments of patients? Just <strong>weeks</strong> before Bradstreet’s death his office was raided by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).</p>
<p>It gets worse… On the same day Dr. Hedendal’s body was found, Dr. Baron Holt DC was also found deceased in Florida. The physician unexpectedly died while on a trip to Jacksonville, Florida.</p>
<p>The 33-year-old had reportedly been struggling with recent health issues, but none were considered to be life-threatening by loved ones, according to <em><a href="http://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/counties/wake-county/article27091162.html">The News & Observer</a></em>. As shared in the report, the family is still awaiting the results of the autopsy to discern the cause of death.</p>
<p>At this point, three dead doctors in the <strong>same field,</strong> in the same region of the country, is no doubt suspicious. But then, Dr. Teresa Sievers, another natural health doctor from Florida, was brutally murdered in her home on June 29.</p>
<p>The horrific incidence shocked everyone who knew her, including co-workers who said she was known as the ‘Mother Teresa of South Florida.’ Authorities investigating her case say that this was not a random attack, but a targeted event. They also state that when details are revealed, “books and movies will be written about it.”</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the count continues. On July 1st, Lisa Riley DO, 34, who resided in Lee County, Georgia, was found murdered in her home, with a gunshot wound to the head. Her husband was initially suspected, as he made the call to 911 to report her death, but many feel he is being framed. Her death is ‘mysterious,’ <a href="http://www.wtoc.com/story/29533851/breaking-phoebe-doctor-cause-of-death-determined">according to investigators</a> – as are all of these cases…</p>
<p><a href="http://www.healthnutnews.com/fifth-holistic-alternative-doctor-33-found-dead-in-florida-making-5-dead-and-5-more-missing-doctors/">According to <em>HealthHutNews</em></a>, a number of doctors have also been reported missing:</p>
<blockquote readability="19">
<p><em>“June 26th, Dr. Patrick Fitzpatrick MD goes missing. He was traveling from North Dakota to neighboring Montana (which he did often as his son lived in Montana) and his truck and trailer were found on the side of the road. Searches have expanded, but authorities say it’s like he vanished without a trace.</em></p>
<p><em>June 29th, Jefferey Whiteside MD a pulmonologist went missing when he simply “walked away.” Dr Whiteside, known for his successful treatment of lung cancer, disappeared in Door County Wisconsin while vacationing with family. They say he was on foot and had no vehicle and numerous reports call it “mysterious” saying he too vanished without a trace. They’ve been searching now 2 weeks and even colleagues have joined in (along with many bloodhounds, drones search parties and helicopters) but not a shred of evidence in 2 weeks.”</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>But wait – on the <strong>same day</strong> Dr. Bradstreet’s body was discovered (June 19, 2015), three medical professionals along a remote stretch of highway in Mexico’s southwest Guerrero state <a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/07/09/where-are-mexico-s-dead-doctors-families-fear-a-cover-up-like-iguala.html"><strong>vanished</strong> <strong>without a trace.</strong></a> Authorities figure the men were killed but have not offered any credible evidence to back up that claim.</p>
<p><em>Is some entity or person possibly orchestrating these events?</em> The seemingly systematic nature of all these natural health doctors’ disappearances and deaths does raise a number of red flags… Many are already aware the modern-day ‘health care’ approach is more of a ‘sick care’ industry to keep money in the pockets of pharmaceutical companies and populations sick… <em>How far would big pharma go to silence those that rebel against the system and seek to share natural cures with the public? </em></p>
<p>So many questions remain unanswered, but you can take action by <strong>sharing </strong>this article to help raise awareness.</p>
