Imperial Whazoo philosophizes on JBI's revolutionary P2O technology

Well, I think most of us have heard the stories of how a small company or an individual engineer has invented some technology for something like an affordable 100 mpg automobile engine. They get a write-up in Popular Mechanics or Car & Driver & the next thing you know, they disappear from the face of the Earth, for all intents and purposes. What we ultimately find out is that an oil giant or an automotive giant paid them 20 or 30 times their actual value and took the technology and deep sixed it so it never sees the light of day.

My point is that, IMHO, its naive to presume that these entrenched forces will not try to do the same thing here. I don't think it matters one iota that JBII is a fly on the butt of the oil companies or OPEC. That's irrelevant. These dinosaurs have the attitude that resistance is futile, and that is, to use a Latin term, the "sine qua non" as far as they have to be thinking (without which, nothing, BTW).

Its not the size of the threat, any more than it is the real chances of it succeeding. It you are a petty dictator in some far away totalitarian land, you crush each and every instance of liberty poking its magnificent head up, and you do so employing vast amounts of overkill and so forth for the very reason that it needs to be a message that is conveyed to any entity that attempts to change the status quo. It must be made clear that resistance is futile, so size (or lack thereof in this case) is not a variable in the equation. Simple as that.

Me personally.... I want to have JBII succeed. Not only to make a buck by owning shares, but because we do need to figure out how to affordably use the plastic waste that is drowning the world.

Big oil is a monopoly, both in the corporate or the OPEC manifestation. Totalitarian. They will not allow the tiniest instance of this type of thing to blossom.

And as to the argument that these entities already know about JBII. Well, that's a given. But that being so, it nonetheless still follows that there is zero reason to sound the trumpet and enter the fray prematurely. Even though it is logical to presume that they are not cloaked in secrecy and that they are being scoped out as we speak, it still is prudent to try to fly as much under the radar as is possible.

JBII is certainly being watched, but there is no reason under the sun to file with the DEC until they have as much groundwork done as can be done so that they are 100% ready to run like hell the instant the permits are issued.

Folks are entitled to diss this view of the world if they like, but I think that its the only sound approach to such things as a revolutionary technology like JBII's.

The powers that be have a vested interest in stopping these types of revolutions. That being the case, an excess of caution, even to the level of the paranoid, is the only way to succeed, IMHO. I mean, the only damage being overly paranoid causes is a bit of embarrasment once it is clear that you kind of over did it. If you don't want to be mocked, take off the tin-foil hat LOL. You can do the kinds of things I'm speaking of without tatooing "nut-case" in big letters on the front and back of your t-shirt, LOL.

JB and crew can better suffer a heaping helping of humble pie at looking paranoid rather than experiencing a disaster that could have been avoided had they not valued looking good over being safe. So, since the goal is to get this done even if the vested interests intend to pull out all the stops to prevent JBII from succeeding, I favor any and all kinds of silent running.

And given the intellect JB is supposed to have, and given that he just got back from a trip to China, and given that a deal with the Chinese (as an example) would end-run the entrenched totalitarian corporate and OPEC power centers, I would applaud him openly were it to later be revealed that the slowness being complained of in blog sites is due to JBII having a deal in the works and/or there being a business plan that is, frankly, paranoid.... either explanation (or both) would suit me just fine.
JMHO
