		<description><![CDATA[Katie, I am one of the thousands of people that got interested in buying an Aptera ever since it showed up in the magazine Popular Science so many years ago. I wish you looked into who is behind the conspiracy  to keep this car off the market. Is it the major car companies and their allies in congress? And if you think the Aptera is too small for most people I suggest you open your eyes to all the people on motorcycles. Many of us do like the idea of a small, efficient vehicle as a second or third car for a household just as a motorcycle fits in to so many peoples lives.  Start thinking outside your box and more for what would be good for this overly polluted world.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Blogger a reason she might not want to comment on your Bill Joy interview is because like most of your work it was edited to look more favorable for Eestor.  We see it over and over.  You get information and then selectively release it to make Eestor look favorable.  My favorite example is when both you and Haig received a FOIA release from AFRL.  You posted the emails about Weir talking to them about a demo of his capacitor, but you didn’t post the email  where AFRL said Weir was setting up a demo of efficiency not energy density and where AFRL expressed antipathy for  Weir and his claims.  Fortunately, Haig had the same FOIA release.   You talked to Eestor coinventor  Carl Nelson before I did but never reported it.  Nelson likely said the same thing to you as he did to me, that he had nothing to do with Eestor’s energy density claim and that he had no idea if capacitors could have the energy density of batteries.  Plus, he obviously was distancing himself from eestor by saying he only worked with them for less than a year starting in 2005 and saying I should look to Penn State for credit on advancing capacitor technology.  Blogger you have passed yourself off as a journalist.  Reality is you are a de facto PR agent for eestor.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is interesting Brennan Joseph Murphy AKA &quot;b&quot;, administrator at theeestory.com, the number 1 PR agent for EESCAM on the Internet, has never published an article about his interview with Carl Nelson the co-founder of EESTor.  The reason Mr. Murphy will not publish the interview is because it shoots a big hole in his EESCAM story and would not help Mr. Murphy&#039;s agenda to pump EESCAM.  He should look in the mirror before he gives advice to anyone what to publish.

Mr. Murphy, you can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.  The bag did not help you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No, I&#039;m not asking Katie to do anything except present the facts as she discovers them.  The fact is it is unfair to say any politicians have done anything for EEStor in a way that would make it similar or comparable to Issa&#039;s support of Aptera.  

She should correct the record on that point. 

Additionally, if you&#039;re going to write about EEStor negatively, then at least perform a little bit of research.   For now, Katie&#039;s work has only served as a bullhorn for people who wish to libel EEStor and anyone associated with them.   This appears to be the place one goes to make false statements about EEStor to manipulate public opinion.  

No one is saying she has to discover something nice to say about EEStor. I&#039;m merely recommending that she discover something new and present it.  She&#039;s a reputable journalist in the field.  She could gain access to VC&#039;s in the area.  

It is interesting that she never published an article about Kleiner Perkins&#039; Bill Joy making the first public comments about EEStor of any Kleiner partner.   As she said, EEStor is a company who has received among the most coverage for any renewable energy company.  Yet, when Kleiner finally makes a public statement, somehow it&#039;s not news.  

It&#039;s her blog. She can do with it what she wants.  I simply think she could do a better job. 

And also, Thubten, on the topic of OBJECTIVITY, are you ever going to write about the close source you uncovered who has a technical connection to EEStor and is very positive about his interactions with EEStor?   You dont have to identify the source. But you should disclose in broadly generic terms what that story is.   

I&#039;ve got hope for you Thubten.   But so far, you&#039;ve only been a recurring disappointment.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@Seslaprime, why don&#039;t you and Brennan&#039;s team of EESCAM pumpers purchase more Zenn stock? EESCAM is going to be worth &gt;150 Billion USA.  Dick Weir is ahead of schedule, assembling units; reveal is &quot;imminent&quot;, &quot;so close&quot;, &quot;microns close&quot;, and the technology was developed 20 years ago, hahaha.  Don&#039;t forget the smart man in this EESCAM story Tom Villars says Dick Weir has always been off by a month or two.

		<description><![CDATA[Katie, the eestoryblogger is asking for you to use your investigative journalism skills to end the eestory mystery.  He wants you to determine why eestor has not produced the product they claimed to have.  Was it because they were incompetent at interpreting capacitor energy density science?  Was it because they made claims to attract investments and faked patent measurements? Was it because they were micron close to demonstrating production samples but hit a road block? Or are they waiting for the moment when the country is in most need of being SAVED?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Katie, I find it interesting EESTor is suppose to be a &quot;secretive&quot; company, but Brennan Joseph Murphy AKA &quot;b&quot;, eestor news blogger the one with the bag over his head, administrator of theeestory.com knew for a fact Dick Weir,  CEO of EESTor  &quot;was actually seeking from AFRL was a trade reference which is an intrinsic part of startup development&quot;.   Mr. Murphy also knew &quot;Mr. Weir simply had a list of people, including AFRL, who were willing to vouch that if he produced the technology, they would be quick to issue an order&quot;.  How did Mr. Murphy know Mr. Weir &quot;had a list of people&quot; if EESTor is a &quot;secretive&quot; company?  

Now it is obvious where Mr. Murphy received names of  Air Force Research Labratory employees whom were skeptics of EESCAM.  In an AFRL email, Mr. Murphy the eestor news blogger attempted to &quot;bait&quot; an AFRL employee to say something negative about EESTor.  The AFRL employee was a skeptic of EESCAM.

Mr. Murphy, &quot;b&quot;, the eestor news blogger is not coming clean with his relation with EESTor.   The FBI needs to investigate this EESCAM story!!!
