WHO'S the ONLY AMERICAN CAR COMPANY TO HAVE PAID BACK the GOVERNMENT?

Model S Signature - Signature Red


TESLA REPAYS DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

LOAN NINE YEARS EARLY

WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 2013
PALO ALTO, Calif.--

 Tesla Motors announced that it has paid 

off the entire loan awarded to the company by the Department of 

Energy in 2010. In addition to payments made in 2012 and Q1 

2013, today’s wire of almost half a billion dollars ($451.8M) repays 

the full loan facility with interest. Following this payment, Tesla will 

be the only American car company to have fully repaid the 

government.
For the first seven years since its founding in 2003, Tesla was 

funded entirely with private funds, led by Elon Musk. Tesla 

brought its Roadster sports car to market with a 30% gross margin, 

designed electric power trains for Daimler (Mercedes) and had done 

preliminary design of the Model S all before receiving a government 

loan.

In 2010, Tesla was awarded a milestone-based loan, requiring 

matching private capital obtained via public offering, by the DOE 

as part of the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing 

program. This program was signed into law by President Bush in 

2008 and then awarded under the Obama administration in the 

years that followed. This program is often confused with the 

financial bailouts provided to the then bankrupt GM and Chrysler, 

who were ineligible for the ATVM program, because a requirement 

of that program was good financial health.

The loan payment was made today using a portion of the 

approximately $1 billion in funds raised in last week’s concurrent 

offerings of common stock and convertible senior notes. Elon Musk, 

Tesla’s Chief Executive Officer and co founder, purchased $100 

million of common equity, the least secure portion of the offering. “I 

would like to thank the Department of Energy and the members of 

Congress and their staffs that worked hard to create the ATVM 

program, and particularly the American taxpayer from whom these 

funds originate,” said Elon Musk. “I hope we did you proud.”

Speaking as an American Taxpayer I salute you, thank-you, I will be 

a walking talking advertisement for your company, in conversations 

of how the rich get richer & the government gives away money, I will speak

 your name proudly and recite your praises!

Where's Our Governments Sense ? The United States Patent and Trademark Office you are Who?

Really Give Google the Right to Guarantee We Do No Evil on their Watch?

Google applied for a Patent for a tool like and or on spell checker that would notify you and of course no one else that your personal messages in your email  and documents and possibly text messages violates policy and redirect you to other choices of words.

Sounds to me like Google wants to assure its  "Own self be True  " SWOLLEN HEAD and of course Google being my parent company Oh my gosh there it is they are trying to be our PARENT!

Google's "Policy Violation Checker"

Matt Kallman from Google said on may 7 2013 that even if they approve the patent there is no guarantee it makes it to the Market.

Until We see it

Correcting us on our tv's cable boxes and our phones!

Google is my Boss in some ways i have earned $18.00  Blogging for them for about a few years.

Where's Our Common Passion for Our Country and What it use to Stand For?

The Words that Helped Form a COUNTRY ...  A GREAT ONE  

I shall conclude these remarks, with the following timely and well intended hints, We ought to reflect, that there are three different ways by which an independency may hereafter be effected; and that one of those three, will one day or other, be the fate of America, viz. By the legal voice of the people in congress; by a military power; or by a mob: It may not always happen that our soldiers are citizens, and the multitude a body of reasonable men; virtue, as I have already remarked, is not hereditary, neither is it perpetual. Should an independency be brought about by the first of those means, we have every opportunity and every encouragement before us, to form the noblest, purest constitution on the face of the earth. We have it in our power to begin the world over again. A situation, similar to the present, hath not happened since the days of Noah until now. The birthday of a new world is at hand, and a race of men perhaps as numerous as all Europe contains, are to receive their portion of freedom from the event of a few months. The reflection is awful- and in this point of view, how trifling, how ridiculous, do the little, paltry cavillings, of a few weak or interested men appear, when weighed against the business of a world.

Should we neglect the present favorable and inviting period, and an independence be hereafter effected by any other means, we must charge the consequence to ourselves, or to those rather, whose narrow and prejudiced souls, are habitually opposing the measure, without either inquiring or reflecting. There are reasons to be given in support of Independence, which men should rather privately think of, than be publicly told of. We ought not now to be debating whether we shall be independent or not, but, anxious to accomplish it on a firm, secure, and honorable basis, and uneasy rather that it is not yet began upon. Every day convinces us of its necessity. Even the tories (if such beings yet remain among us) should, of all men, be the most solicitous to promote it; for, as the appointment of committees at first, protected them from popular rage, so, a wise and well established form of government, will be the only certain means of continuing it securely to them. Wherefore, if they have not virtue enough to be Whigs, they ought to have prudence enough to wish for independence.

In short, independence is the only bond that can tie and keep us together. We shall then see our object, and our ears will be legally shut against the schemes of an intriguing, as well as a cruel enemy. We shall then too, be on a proper footing, to treat with Britain; for there is reason to conclude, that the pride of that court, will be less hurt by treating with the American states for terms of peace, than with those, whom she denominates, "rebellious subjects," for terms of accommodation. It is our delaying it that encourages her to hope for conquest, and our backwardness tends only to prolong the war. As we have, without any good effect therefrom, withheld our trade to obtain a redress of our grievances, let us now try the alternative, by independently redressing them ourselves, and then offering to open the trade. The mercantile and reasonable part of England will be still with us; because, peace with trade, is preferable to war without it. And if this offer be not accepted, other courts may be applied to.

On these grounds I rest the matter. And as no offer hath yet been made to refute the doctrine contained in the former editions of this pamphlet, it is a negative proof, that either the doctrine cannot be refuted, or, that the party in favor of it are too numerous to be opposed. Wherefore, instead of gazing at each other with suspicious or doubtful curiosity, let each of us, hold out to his neighbor the hearty hand of friendship, and unite in drawing a line, which, like an act of oblivion, shall bury in forgetfulness every former dissention. Let the names of Whig and Tory be extinct; and let none other be heard among us, than those of a good citizen, an open and resolute friend, and a virtuous supporter of the RIGHTS of MANKIND and of the FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES OF AMERICA.

10 Ways the "MAN" Watches Us

10 Ways the "MAN" Watches Us

1.FBI monitoring of email and electronic communications.Credit: Mozilla Foundation

The FBI implemented a system in the late 1990s known as Carnivore, which scanned emails en masse looking for keywords. It's since been replaced by even more sophisticated software.

"Carnivore uses a list of FBI-supplied keywords to sift through email (maybe everybody's email) to find suspicious references to call FBI attention to possibly nefarious conversations going on across the Internet," explained Joe B. Vaughan, Jr., author of "The Suburban Manifesto: How To Get City Hall To Do Exactly What You Want"

2.License-plate cameras at intersections

  In order to crack down on drivers running red lights or committing other traffic transgressions, many municipalities have installed cameras at intersections.

The camera snaps a picture of the offending vehicle, and based on license-plate information, the photo and an accompanying traffic ticket are sent to the car’s owner.

3.Surveillance cameras in public places

In August, Detroit officials announced that the city would be operating 350 security cameras in the central business district, joining dozens of American cities that use surveillance cameras to help prevent crime.

Cameras are installed in areas that have a history of criminal activities or in areas where crowds regularly gather — down town  public parks or subway stations, for example. The cameras also record the everyday activities of law-abiding citizens, many of whom are unaware they are being watched.

4.Geolocation tracking on cell phones.

GPS on a smartphone is one of life’s greatest inventions — in the palm of your hand, you can get directions from Point A to Point B, or let friends know your current location.

But that same GPS also lets law enforcement officials know where you are. The American Civil Liberties Union has requested information from 31 states for details about how law enforcement uses cell phone location data and how frequently it is gathered. The federal government has also admitted that it has the authority to track citizens using cell phone data.

5.Electronic toll collectors.

For those who frequently drive on toll roads on the East Coast, getting an E-ZPass saves both time and the need to have a cup holder filled with quarters for the commute to work. The same is true of similar systems, such as TxTag in Texas or FasTrak in California.

All of these, as well more than a dozen other systems in North America, work using radio frequency identification (RFID). The passes communicate with readers at tollbooths, and the readers both debit the passes' prepaid balances and keep a record of when and where the transaction occurred.

6. Business records

Section 215 of the Patriot Act allows the FBI and other federal law-enforcement entities to subpoena a business or person for any "tangible thing" related to an authorized terrorism investigation. The FBI can ask for bank statements, library records, medical records, business papers — any paper trail left by the person or business. Law enforcement does not have to have to show any probable cause to request the information.

7.The "Lone Wolf" provision of the Patriot Act

The government recognizes that terrorists, such as the Pakistani man who tried to blow up Times Square in 2010, do not always operate as part of a larger group, and such "Lone Wolves" are currently considered one of the top terror threats. A "Lone Wolf" provision was added to the Patriot Act in 2004 and permits the government to conduct intelligence investigations without the traditional burden of proof.

8.The "Secure Communities" initiative. 

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency works with state and city law enforcement to share resources on non citizens who have committed crimes. According to the ICE website, Secure Communities "uses an already-existing federal information-sharing partnership between ICE and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that helps to identify criminal aliens without imposing new or additional requirements on state and local law enforcement.

9.Biometric identification

Biometric identification uses a scan of a part of the body — a fingerprint, the iris of the eye, or the voice, for example — as a verification tool. Instead of typing in a password or swiping a card to log into a computer or enter a building, you would use your body.

Many security experts believe this is the most secure type of authentication available, and governments are taking advantage of this technology. The Department of Homeland Security has developed a standard for biometric identification for visitors to the United States, and the Department of Defense is providing the Army with a toolkit to do biometric identification in the field.

10. Roving John Doe wiretaps

One of the controversial Patriot Act provisions reauthorized this past spring permits roving John Doe wiretaps, which follow a "person of interest" within a broad search warrant.

For example, instead of getting a warrant to tap into a single phone line, the roving John Doe wiretap allows law enforcement to tap any and all communication lines — cell phone, landlines, email, text messaging — a person of interest may be using.

*Thank you Tech News Daily for the list of 10.

I also believe that tagging pictures on line even on your home computer by name location is building a base for  the Govt.  to be able to track you and predict your movement around the world.
