Environment

Ozone and Freon Fraud

by W. Ed Parker (KENTUCKY)

There is solid information that ECO-EXTREMISTS, CORPORATE
CEOS, GOVERNMENT ENVIROCRATS, and MEDIA MOGULS form a loose coalition to
promote radical, costly, self serving goals, and to mislead and confuse
the people at large about environmental problems. Further, many so called
scientists, who live from direct or indirect U.S. tax funds, ape these
extremist views for personal gain.

For example, Federal Government Agencies have prepared,
including color coded maps, plans to establish BIO-DIVERSITY STRATEGY for
all American land and people. This plan will, if implemented, establish
"HABITATS" for all our people; except for the ELITE.

In some areas of Kentucky, such as Jefferson County,
citizens are forced to have annual auto emissions tests because of EPA
regulations. The EPA and local regulators use slight of hand data by
sounding local alarms whenever Ozone levels, as measured by them, reach
the mid-point of their scale. Their recorded readings have not reached the
upper level of their scale at least as far back as 1980. Further, there is
not scientific data to support their claimed danger if the upper scale is
reached. Everyone knows when it is hot and or humid, just by going outside
their homes or work places.

In a recent article in the Kentucky Journal of Commerce
and Industry, 8/8/98 "EPA LIED", it was pointed out the EPA had "cherry
picked" data on secondhand tobacco smoke as a cause of cancer; and no data
existed to support EPA claims in this (tobacco) area.

As shown above, the EPA and its supporters are prone to
LIE!!!

The major costs of government regulations to the
Appliance Industry in the early nineties were related to the elimination
of Freon (R-11 and R-12), both from foam insulation and sealed
refrigeration systems.

The best source of scientific and common sense data on
the following report are two books published by Dr. Dixie Lee Ray,
TRASHING THE PLANET and ENVIRONMENTAL OVERKILL. These works and many
others were summarized and reported in a scientific and professional
manner by the NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL BALANCE. (This group was
chaired by Dr. I.W. Tucker, a retired professor from the University of
Louisville.)

The excuse used by the EPA for the ban on Freon was it
somehow seeps into the atmosphere and depletes the Ozone in our air. There
is no scientific data available, in or out of government, to describe this
"claimed" process. Freon is one of the most useful substances ever created
by man; and it has many uses. In refrigeration, its prime usage is as the
substance inside the sealed refrigeration systems that allows cooling to
take place during the evaporator operation, and heating during the high
temperature condensing part of the refrigeration cycles. Without Freon or
some similar substance, refrigeration cannot occur, and the best known
alternate would be to return to ice boxes.

Freon was developed and patented by the DuPont Company.
Ironically, the DuPont patents on Freon ran out at about the same time the
government decrees to ban the use of Freon were issued. The leading
replacement substances for Freon were also developed by DuPont. The Freon
(HCFC) substances are far more costly and far more complex, to the extent
that DuPont stands to make untold billions of dollars on the change out of
this substance, and consumers will have an inferior product. Further, the
DuPont substitutes have no supporting data to prove they meet
environmental needs.

Freon, the "villain", is an odorless, tasteless,
chemically neutral substance, which is HEAVIER THAN AIR, and by the laws
of physics cannot rise into the atmosphere. If is spilled on the ground,
it will settle in the soil and become plant food. It meets the Biblical
standard of "ashes to ashes and dust to dust." Freon can be commercially
produced at a very low cost of $.50 to $1.00 per pound. Some recent news
reports indicate that since the banning, it is now one of the leading
items sold in the worlds black markets. Some reported costs of Freon on
the black market run as high as $50.00 per pound.

With the expiration of the DuPont patents, Freon would
have been readily available as an air conditioning and refrigeration
substance for the entire world, including Third World Countries, at
affordable rates. According to THE FACT FINDER, P.O. Box A, Scottsdale, AZ
85252, (1/16/95), DuPont owners have direct ties to the NEW
AGE-ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT which, in turn has ties to the EPA and such
luminaries as Vice President Al Gore. Gore has ties to THE NEW WORLD ORDER
of George Bush and Bill Clinton. According to THE FACT FINDER, Charles
Bronfman of Seagrams, who controls the Board of Directors of DuPont, led
the fight against Freon, his own product, because the DuPont patents to
control Freon had run out.

Our upper atmosphere does contain Ozone (O3) (a compound
made up of three oxygen atoms) as claimed by government and new age
people. The atmosphere also contains a large amount of natural oxygen (O2)
(made up of two oxygen atoms) in its natural state. About twenty per cent
of the air we breath is Natural Oxygen (O2). Ozone is formed in the
atmosphere by a break up on natural oxygen molecules (O2). This break up
occurs in the atmosphere when certain ultraviolet sun rays strike Oxygen
molecules and split them in half. The split single Oxygen atoms (O1) are
very unstable, and quickly attach themselves to other natural occurring
Oxygen molecules (O2) with two Oxygen atoms to form Ozone (O3). At any
given time, there are several tons of Ozone produced every second in the
atmosphere five to twenty five miles above the earth. As long as there is
natural Oxygen molecules (O2) and sun light, there will be Ozone (O3), a
natural law of basic science.

Ozone, itself, is very unstable chemically. When formed,
it quickly attaches itself to other substances in the air. The upper air
contains a number of impurities such as chlorine monoxide, an unstable
substance reported by several government agencies. These same government
agencies claim this chloride substance is chemically derived from Freon
and other similar man made substances.

However, as already reported by Dr. Ray and others, Freon
cannot rise into the atmosphere because it is heavier than air by a
minimum of a four-to-one ratio. Freon cannot defy the laws of physics or
gravity. So, what is the source of atmospheric chlorine? Most of it comes
form the natural evaporation of sea water which contains salt, a compound
containing chlorides. The other major source of chlorides is from volcanic
eruptions, which are not controlled by man. Dr. Ray’s data shows that the
upper atmosphere at any given time contains 50 to 60 times as much
chloride as is produced annually by all processes in use by man. Sea water
evaporation alone produces 600 million tons of chlorides per year as
compared to 750,000 tons per year of Freon type production. This alone is
a ratio of 800 to 1. The sea water evaporation and volcanic eruptions have
been going on since God created the earth.

Now we come to the much discussed "Ozone Hole" in the
Antarctic (South Pole) area. Studies by a number of sources show that,
each year, at the end of the dark, cold (-80F) Antarctic winter an Ozone
Hole (thin area) appears, lasts for three to five weeks, and then
disappears. Let us now recall that Ozone forms when sun light strikes
Oxygen molecules. Very few rays from the sun reach the Antarctic during
Antarctic winters. When there is no sun light, Ozone will not be formed in
the upper air.

Unfortunately, the current Ozone Hole Theory is being
pushed by an ignorant, arrogant group of ENVIRONMENTAL ELITISTS working
daily to promote a socialist plan of PEOPLE CONTROL. They are supported by
radical environmental groups with no interest in the welfare of American
citizens and who are atheistic in their outlook. These ELITISTS draw
support from the news media, tax free foundations, and many special
interests.

New age leaders of industries such as DuPont fall in
line, as long as they are protected by government decrees to cover their
BOTTOM LINE PROFITS. As reported in INSIGHT MAGAZINE 1/30/95, "in spite of
repeated claims of Ozone loss because of Freon (CFC) emissions, there is
no sound evidence to support this assertion. The basic data seems to be
contaminated."

MACHINE DESIGN MAGAZINE, 1/24/94, referred to the CFC ban
as a world wide $5 trillion mistake. My experience over twenty seven years
of refrigeration is that it is a $5 trillion fraud brought about by NEW
AGE SOCIALISTS. The people who are to blame are very small in number.
There are environmental extremists who prompt all of the expensive
regulations that are faced by industry and the people at large. These
extremists have powerful friends in high places in government, the news
media, tax free foundations, industry and others.

GE Appliance Leadership did not have the knowledge or the
courage to stand up to be counted in this, another $1 billion plus
boondoggle for GE Refrigeration, in the early nineties. The Freon ban has
increased appliance costs significantly, and adversely affected
productivity and quality of refrigeration products."

Take Back Kentucky has shown the EPA and its supporters
to have a propensity to LIE to obtain their objectives. Therefore, it is
recommended that the EPA and other regulatory agencies be abolished.
Further, it is recommended that a SCIENCE ADVISORY AGENCY be established,
reporting directly to Congress. According to our Constitution, it is the
responsibility of Congress to make laws; not appointed bureaucrats. This
new agency would guide Congress in performing scientific service to
America by applying true science to scientific problems.

On the state level, we recommend that the Kentucky
Legislature [and all state legislatures] firmly remind federal officials
of the scope and power of the Tenth Amendment to our Federal Constitution.

And further, to pass [state laws] allowing the free use
and/or manufacture of Freon (CFC) substances [throughout America].

W. Ed Parker is an environmental engineer, author of
Manufacturing Meltdown in America, chairman of Taxpayers Party of
Kentucky, and member of Take Back Kentucky lobbying group.

[CDR Note: Establishing a U.S. Science Advisory Agency reporting
directly to Congress would be akin to requesting a fox to guard the hen
house. Scientists who value the flow of research grant funds above their
love of truth will fall into line with the desired and required findings
rather than lose their source of funding by being truthful. A few
scientists today admit to this assertion.

Maybe the states -- when a situation arises for the need of true
scientific data -- could simply call in a group of independent scientists
who would not be tied to the government, industrial, or foundation grants.

Additionally, the Constitution (see Article 1, Section 8, clauses
1-18] does not empower the U.S. Congress to 'perform scientific service to
America'. Thoughtful and careful consideration should be given to anything
we ask of the already far too far-reaching arm of the federal government.]

On the state level, we recommend that the Kentucky Legislature [and
all state legislatures] firmly remind federal officials of the scope and
power of the Tenth Amendment to our Federal Constitution.

And further, to pass [state laws] allowing the free use and/or
manufacture of Freon (CFC) substances [throughout America].
