Unless you intend to light your all-American home with candles, and there are plenty of American-made options, you’ll need energy made in the U.S.A. to power your American-made lights and appliances. While America’s energy self-sufficiency rate has declined the last few decades, it still produces and consumes more energy than any other nation besides China. America is also one of the countries leading the shift to renewable energy sources.

Back in 2014, a solar power system was installed in America every 2.5 minutes, and that pace hasn’t slowed thanks to a 60-percent drop in price for solar panels. The solar power industry employs nearly 260,000 Americans at more than 9,000 companies, with 360,000 American workers expected to be working in solar power by 2021.

Solar power is booming in America because it saves Americans money. Actual savings, of course, depend on where you live, but are anywhere from $43,242 in Portland, Oreg., to $19,074 in Austin, Texas over a 20-year period. The average U.S. household can break even on their solar power system in just 7.5 years, but in many cities payback periods are four years or less. If you live in these 20 states it behooves you to install solar power, as it’s cheaper than grid energy already.

Buying American-made solar panels is as easy as visiting here and picking out what you require. You can even deduct 30 percent of your solar installation costs from your federal taxes. You can find solar installers here. But if you live in an area where the sun doesn’t shine very often, a wind turbine might be a better fit.

If you generally have a 10- to 30-mile-per-hour wind where you live, installing a wind turbine could be a better fit for your home energy needs. But you must make sure your home is zoned for wind turbine installation. Also be aware that any wind under 9 miles per hour or above 33 miles per hour won’t allow most turbines to harness energy, which is why combining a solar array with a wind turbine and battery is the best way to go. You can also connect either your solar array or wind turbine to your grid energy if you have access, which would allow you to sell your excess energy to the grid. But many states, like Minnesota, have passed or will pass grid fees that make it more expensive for Americans to hook their renewable energy sources up to the grid. Big energy isn’t making it easy for Americans to become energy independent.

You can find a list of large wind turbine manufacturers here, but small wind turbines are likely what you’ll require for your home, which you can find here. You can double check to make sure your wind turbine is certified here. Wind payback periods range from six to 30 years.

It’s that easy to become energy independent and do so with American-made energy sources. Next up in our Made in America series, we’ll look at how to get yourself where you need to go with a look at transportation made in the U.S.A.

Editor's Note: An update follows.

Tesla is now taking deposits for their solar roof systems. Covering the median-sized, single family, American home would cost a little under $40,000 after tax breaks and installation of the Tesla Powerwall battery. It would provide $38,100 worth of energy over 30 years -- a net cost of $1,400. Tesla CEO Elon Musk also announced that the solar tiles are subject to an infinite warranty, while electrical issues and roof leaks would be covered by a 30-year warranty.

Fake News Media is “the enemy of the American People.” -President Donald Trump

There is less than 21% approval rating for the American media.  The reason is that people in this country understand that it is nothing more than fake and contrived news! Yet, they remain in the present, continuing to lie and to further their agenda by promulgating propaganda, as well as driving support for Donald Trump, as a leader of the opposition. The more the media attacks him, the more support that he garners.

Those pulling the strings behind the corrupt politicians knew that Hillary Clinton never had the support of the American people anymore than John McCain had running against Barrack Hussein Obama. Sad to say, it took the American people 8 years to figure out that he did everything opposite of what he promised. It was an easy fix.

Hillary, Like Barack, Does Not Have The Support/ Fake Followers.

Exposing the Media.

Fake News now seems to apply to those who are for the Law and the United States Constitution while they expose corruption wherever it may be, even when it hits their favorite politicians. The enemies of America are thankful for people that remain ignorant of their enumerated laws (Hosea 4:6). So far, the majority of the American people have been very accommodating.

“How fortunate for governments that people never think.” –Adolph Hitler

I reported earlier this year, 70 years of CIA propaganda and corruption, and how disinformation is exactly what they have been spewing out of the CIA for a long time, not only in our country, but in other countries, as well.

Dr. Udo Ulfkotte came out in 2016 exposing the CIA by stating the following:

Dr Udo Ulfkotte journalist and author on RT Blows the whistle on Fake News!!

“The entire mainstream media is totally fake!”

“Taught to lie, to betray the people and not to tell the truth to the public.”

“The CIA gets control over all of the majority of journalists.”

“CIA’s primary mission is to collect, analyze, evaluate, and disseminate foreign intelligence to assist the President and senior U.S. government policymakers in making decisions relating to national security.”

Dr. Ulfkotte dropped dead inside of a year of making those claims.

If you don’t believe what he said, then you deserve what you have coming.  

What they say that they do and what they actually are doing are two different stories. The fruit of the CIA has been war, world destabilization, media propaganda, murder, bribery, etc. Listen to former CIA agent John Stockwell:

“It is the function of the CIA to keep the world unstable, and to propagandize the American people to hate, so we will let the establishment spend any amount of money on arms. ….”

Of course, they have been in cahoots with the military industrial complex, which President Eisenhower warned Americans about back in January 1961.

Eisenhower warns us of the military industrial complex.

The CIA has become a propaganda outlet.

We can see what former CIA Director William Casey said when reinforcing John Stockwell’s statement:

“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American people believe is false.”

Operation Mockingbird, CIA Media Control Program.

The media cannot be trusted, and most of us agree on that (Psalm 101:3).

Modern Day Psalms 23 "The TV is my shepherd."

“If you are not careful, the newspapers (The Media) will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

So, how is it that when their favorite politician moves into the White House, all of a sudden, the things that he does, regardless if they are constitutional (legal) or not, as long, (as he has on your favorite jersey) all is accepted? This is exactly what is happening in America.  Once again, it’s a different President, but the same illegal and unconstitutional policies and agenda moves forward. However, as long as you like him, that is all that matters. Where have America’s principles gone? (Jeremiah 5:21)

“Kings will be tyrants from policy, when subjects are rebels from principle.” –Edmond Burke

Americans must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles (Psalm 119:89).

“For a people that value its privileges above its principles soon loses both.” –President David Eisenhower

Now, we have Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump agreeing as to what should be done with Syria.  Yet, Donald Trump promised a special prosecutor to investigate her for her crimes against “We the People.” He launched 59 Tomahawks in Syria, but refuses to bring forth “the rule of law” concerning corruption here at home? How do they attempt to justify their aggression, they tell you that they have chemical weapons that could be used against us. Apparently, Americans did not learn that inciting the people to war first comes with a threat regardless if it is legitimate or not. Remember Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq under the Bush administration that could never be verified?

That was before Donald Trump became the president, and after he told the American people that they “owed her [Hillary Clinton] a major debt of gratitude” for her service to our country.

Donald Trump Praises Hillary Clinton During His Victory Speech.

How many scandals are exposed concerning these corrupt politicians like that of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, and now that Donald Trump is the president, they now agree. Are the flags going up yet?

And to take one step further, Trump’s assault on Syria was praised by world leaders. Before he was the president, a majority of these “world leaders” were attacking him. Now that he is the president, they are praising him.

There you have it. The same world leaders who have been used to lie, steal, kill, sell their people out and wage war across the globe are in concert praising the new President of the United States of America.

How about holding Donald Trump to his own promises when it comes to dealing with corruption inside our borders rather than dealing with corruption outside America? First things first, after all, isn’t that what Donald Trump promised to do? (Psalm 94:16)

How is it that you now believe the media that has been lying to you for so long?  (Romans 1:18)

This is pro-wrestling at its very worst.

Are they now telling you the truth because it is Donald Trump who is the president?  Hypocrites!  Again, isn’t Donald Trump the one that has called out American media resources as “Fake News Media” and the “Enemy of the American people?” America, this is leading through opposition.

As more troops are sent to another war, remember, it will not be Donald Trump’s young men and woman that will fight that war. It will be our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, neighbors and children that will fight these unconstitutional wars.

“The man who can look upon a crisis without being willing to offer himself upon the altar of his country is not fit for public trust.” -President Millard Fillmore

The Awful Price of Freedom and Redemption.

What is it that Trumps administration is not telling you?

Let a former United States Marine tell you what the American media will not.

Ken O'Keefe, a former Marine, talks about Syria.

Another Canadian journalist exposed the lies of the Western media and the US about the war in Syria.

Western media lies about Syria exposed (Canadian journalist Eva Bartlett).

Hopefully, this will sum up the whole of what I am saying for those who have not learned from the past.

Every one of these warmongers claimed to be Christians (Matthew 7:16; 2 Corinthians 11:14).

• President Jimmy Carter: El-Salvador, Guatemala, Angola, and Afghanistan

• President Bill Clinton: Balkans, Iraq, Sudan, Rwanda.

• President George Bush Sr.: Gulf war, Panama, Somalia,

• President George Bush Jr.: Iraq, Afghanistan

• President Barrack Hussein Obama: Libya, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan and Ukraine

Remember, war is the rule of force. Peace is the reign of law.

When was it America’s job to police the world?

“We Americans have no commission from God to police the world.”

“The Law…Expressed in orderly constitutional methods, is the only King to which we bow.” –President Benjamin Harrison

Furthermore, how many of these above “wars” were constitutional?

America, do you wonder why you are so hated by other countries?  You are hated because of what you allow your representative government to do to other countries, in many cases without provocation.

The best way to enhance freedom in other lands is to demonstrate here that our Republican system is worthy of emulation.

America, when are you going to figure this out? (Psalm 11:3)

Over the past 3 decades, researchers have made phenomenal gains in the fight against HIV.  The deadly virus attacks the T-lymphocyte cell, specifically CD4, then causes the immune fighting cell to churn out more HIV virus’. CD4 T cells send signals to the body’s immune system when something foreign is in its path, recruiting more immune cells to the scene. When HIV has used the CD4 T lymphocyte cell to replicate itself, the latter dies. As CD4 cells drop, so do immune defenses. HIV could lead to AIDS, Acquired ImmunoDeficiency Syndrome, giving rise to infections that healthy immune systems could normally withstand, but an immuno-compromised patient could not.

Anti-HIV drugs have targeted how the virus attacks the T-cells, and specifically how its DNA enters the T cells to cause its parasitic replication; however, millions of HIV individuals have yet to be “cured”, even if their viral load remains low or undetectable. Many cases have been reported of an individual with undetectable HIV coming OUT of remission, with reactivation of the virus.  If T-lymphocytes have short life spans, how does HIV persist? The assumption exists that HIV hides out in a reservoir. But where?

Researchers from the University of North Carolina discovered that the HIV virus can live in macrophages. Macrophages are derived from monocytes, a type of white blood cell that finds, engulfs, and destroys pathogens as well as debris and dead cells in the body.  I picture them to be Pac-Men that can gobble up unwanted microscopic particles, including bacteria, and will “digest” the substances they engulf with enzymes. Moreover macrophages alert the immune system of their work and that something foreign is in the body, just as CD4 T cells do.  However, one major difference is that the macrophage can live for months, even years. This could make a cozy home for an HIV virus that hasn’t been destroyed by the macrophage’s enzymes.

According to Dr.  Jenna Honeycutt, lead author and postdoctoral research associate in the UNC Division of Infectious Diseases, “The fact that HIV-infected macrophages can persist means that any possible therapeutic intervention to eradicate HIV might have to target two very different types of cells.”  Their findings were published this week in Nature Medicine.

In January, Professor Ravindra Gupta, from the University of College London, and colleagues also found HIV to infect macrophages.   HIV replication appears to be active in the brain, where the virus targets macrophages.

With these new developments, researchers want to now investigate where infected macrophages hide and hopefully find new therapeutic interventions that would limit HIV’s entry into this ubiquitous immune cell.
