JOHN DINKEL | GAS - ELECTRIC - STEAM | Women preferred electric! | 3 competing energies | JOHN DINKEL EXPLAINS!!
0:20 Gasoline was a byproduct of oil that was coming out of the ground. Nobody knew what the hell to do with this stuff. It was worthless
0:58 John D. Rockefeller 1. put a lot of support into the development of gasoline-powered engines and 2. he built service stations. He made tons of money by selling a waste product that nobody else wanted
3:08 Gasoline was a very local, craft product
3:32 electric vehicles were more expensive than gasoline. Women 100 to one gravitated to electric vehicles because they weren't dirty and the biggest issue was, she didn't have to crank it
4:17 it wasn't until Kettering came along with the electric starter that we were able to really put women behind the wheel

1:54 the budget was $20,000. it's kind of amazing that 3000 work hours later, 30 people that were unemployed during the pandemic, and 100 days from idea to when it hit the screen, we had a musical
4:07 Everyone's out of work. No one knows where they're going back to work. Everything's a disaster. I called a friend of mine, who's the creative director at the division diversionary theater here in San Diego. He connected me with Steven who connected me with his people. I connected all of us with my people. And without exception, every single person said yes. I'm just I'm still stunned by that.

WHEN LOVING ADVICE CAN DAMAGE YOUR PROGRAMMING | BILLY W. MERRITT
I actually understand about these people in your life, not intending to give you bad information or something that can harm you. But are you able to come up with an example of something that might be coming from love and care or concern, but is actually core detrimental?
Unknown Speaker 0:16
Of course I can get I mean, we hopefully we were not going to be here for, you know, five or six hours, but I could go on and on. Number one is, you know, your parents, if they're not rich, and most of our parents weren't rich, if you were lucky enough to be born in a rich family, that's very good. That's a good thing. Don't let anybody tell you differently. And if you were born, born poor, like me, then get rid of this thought that rich people are bad, and that they did something bad to get their money, and that they're greedy, because the rich people are some of the most giving people I know, you know, you can't help people if you don't have a lot of money, or it's much easier to help people if…

But I want to talk about self talk. Okay. I want to give you an example you asked me about my past, you know, I was born poor when I was born, actually was a little later, we lived in a mobile home, two bedroom mobile home. The bedroom, my bedroom was small enough, I could touch all four walls, you know, within an arm's distance like this. Okay. We were happy. We didn't i didn't know. We were poor. Right. So that's good, but had some wonderful parents hard working parents grandparents that that provided. But as I started getting new information, I came across a guy named Bob Proctor if you are you familiar with Bob Proctor? No, okay. He's, I'm sure he knows that guy, that being gay guy, because he the nightingale, he worked for Earl Nightingale as well. So he has a lot of YouTube videos. And I started listening to some of the stuff and it sounded, you know, kind of wacky kind of woowoo I'm like, What is this guy talking about, but the more I studied it, the more I found out about affir…

BILLY W. MERRITT | Start programming yourself now, for a better tomorrow
The inflatable gangster hamster on the roof dealerships during his now legendary "Buy Back Billy" Facebook events can only misdirect or water down what you might think of the Billy you never met and not have you on proper alert to the depth of the man who gave birth to this idea after a series of lost jobs. His decade long mantra: "I am so happy and grateful that money comes to me in increasing quantities through multiple sources on a continuous basis!" along with 1 book per week consumed will make you understand that Facebook events, better known as Buy Back Billy events (whether they are thrown by Billy or a competitor) are only a surprise in their success....because they seem too low a star for Billy's reach. If you're going to watch one of my shows, see this. You're welcome.

It's a zero vacuum creating a fission and plasma in a in a giant chamber using rotatable cathodes.
