When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just ‘surfing’. To learn more about SSL, follow this link http://www.ssl.com.

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line.

• It is probably the most efficient, economical, ecological and quietest electric generating turbine and propulsion propeller.
• Most compact and dense, ultra light, ultra strong and ultra durable design of propeller and turbine with motor and generator so far. Extremely low center of gravity design.
• Minimal mowing parts, minimal ware and tare, minimal friction in just few bearings. Life expectancy between 20 and 30 years.

• The same design just with little adaptation can also be used as static self standing water power generator replacing hydroelectric power plants in a best sustainable and economical way with minimal impact on environment. It doesn't need dams and is suitable for river and sea hydroelectric power generation.

• Milli seconds reaction to wind and water direction change or change direction of trust.
• Unprecedented density of multiple wind and water generator close side by side, because of quick reaction to wind and water direction change and insensitivity from where wind and water comes, either laminar or turbulent flow.
• Economical design. Needs much less or no tower as large wind generators do. Smaller and cheaper concrete fundament needed. No gears, direct drive. Minimal friction, wear and tear, moving parts are just bearings and seals. Long life, minimal service. Whole life easy software upgrades possible and big improvements in efficiency due to improved electronic control and optimization gained from later computerized numerical analysis.
• Unprecedented maneuverability as propulsion propeller and stabilizer. No need for bow thrusters or additional stabilizers. Changing thrust direction and stabilization in milliseconds and while providing forward trust.
• Ideally suited from small scale private home wind and water generator to large scale wind and water generator farms.
• Ideally suited as wind electric generator and water electric propulsion from small scale boats, yachts, mega yachts, to largest marine vessels and ships for all purposes. From personal use, sport, commercial, tourist, cargo, tanker, to military, etc..
• First time true ecological and sustainable boats, yachts, largest ships and marine vessels are possible powered exclusively by electricity generating sufficient power by them selfs from wind. For long range vessels batteries for storing electricity are needed to provide electricity for longer periods of no wind. We recommend use of our innovative Vallant movement electric power generator http://www.vallant.si/projects/innovative-new-movement-generator which generates electricity from wave movement to enable true pure electric vessel with minimal batteries needed.
• Vallant water electric propulsion propeller is at the same time a water electric power generator, producing electricity while vessel is anchored or moored or even while vessel is coasting or needs breaking as sort of, first time ever, marine regenerative breaks. For instance in high seas when waves force a vessel to accelerate electric power generation is turned on in milliseconds to harvest excessive wave energy and turn back to propulsion when wave passes. Switching modes and directions always takes milliseconds and is fully automatic. No one else can do that. This greatly improves efficiency and minimizes quantity and power of needed batteries.
• Unprecedented ranges possible for electric marine vessels and even no range limitations at all.
• No more need for other generator and power sources, diesel generators and motors. It's time to say goodbye to very polluting and damaging carbon fossil fuels and carbon emissions.

As you can see we have very broad solution to current propulsion and electric power generation problems which will bring fundamental global changes in power generation and  water transport which will enable true transition to electric and zero carbon society.

Seeking Investors/Sponsors

We need money to further develop, test the design, make prototype and test it and begin production of this exciting innovation. Investing in it doesn't bring just future profits but also important and great ecological impact. This could really mean end of fossil fuel powered marine and air transport and beginning of truly efficient, economical, ecological and sustainable electric power generation from power of wind and water.

Primož Vallant, aktivist in ustanovitelj WikiLeaks.si,
STOP ACTA protest, 04.02.2012, ob 12h, Trg Leona Štuklja, Maribor

ZDRAVO MB! HOČEMO ALI NOČEMO ACTA? NOČEMOOOO ACTA! Odgovorni za ACTA vas ne slišijo dovolj dobro, GLASNEJE!, še GLASNEJE, še GLASNEJE! NOČEMOOOO ACTA! NOČEMOOOO ACTA! NOČEMOOOO ACTA! ...Hvala!

Najprej naj se zahvalimo Darku in Jasinu za odlično pripravljen protest. HVALA! Ta protest je odlična demonstracija tega, kako lahko posameznik naredi vse kar želi in spremeni družbo, samo če je dovolj odločen in vztrajen. Nikoli ne pristajajte na egoistične in naprej predane poglede, da se je najbolje brigat samo zase in svojo korist, da posameznik itak nič ne more spremeniti, da tak pač je!

To nam namreč zgornji 1%, ki je odgovoren za ACTA skuša stalno dopovedati in vsiliti, da iz nas naredijo poslušne sužnje, ki jih lahko do onemoglosti molzejo za svojo osebno korist. Dosežete in spremenite lahko ČISTO VSE, kar so nešteti briljantni posamezniki kot Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, ipd. že dokazali v preteklosti.

Ali lahko zaustavimo ACTA? JAAA! Odgovorni ne slišijo dovolj dobro! GLASNEJE!, še GLASNEJE, še GLASNEJE! JAAA! JAAA! JAAA!.. Hvala!

Podatki in dejstva navedena v mojem govoru izvirajo iz preverjenih verodostojnih virov, kot so Laquadrature.net, študija Trgovskega odbora Evropskega parlamenta in študija Zelenih/ Evropske svobodne zveze Evropskega parlamenta. In ne iz nakladanj, izmišljotin in laži zagovornikov ACTA.

ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement/Trgovski sporazum proti ponarejevanju) je TAJNI trgovski sporazum 39 držav, ki obvladujejo svetovni trg, vključno z 27 iz EU. Je podoben ameriški SIPA/PIPA, gre pa za globalno različico. Izdelan je bil, v skrivnem, nedemokratičnem postopku brez javne razprave s civilno družbo in parlamentarci, v tesnem sodelovanju z glavnimi lastniki pravic intelektualne lastnine. Večina držav ga je že podpisala vključno s Slovenijo. Sedaj pa mora biti potrjen v parlamentih vseh teh držav, tudi v slovenskem in Evropskem parlamentu, da začne veljati.

ACTA grozi, da bo za vedno spremenil svobodni Internet in svet, kot ga poznamo. Krši naše osnovne človekove pravice in svobode na naslednje načine:

To so: IZGUBA PRAVICE DO INTERNETA, ZAPOR, FINANČNE KAZNI IN CIVILNE TOŽBE S STRANI KORPORACIJ, ki obidejo standardne demokratične procese EU in držav članic. Definicija je tako široka, da bodo celo mnoge neprofitne aktivnosti kriminalizirane.

ALI BOMO TO DOPUSTILI? NEEEEEE! Odgovorni za ACTA vas ne slišijo dovolj dobro ali bomo dovolili tajno sprejemanje takšnih sporazumov? NEEEE! Še GLASNEJE! Hvala!

Z uporabo pravnega in finančnega pritiska na ponudnike Internega dostopa ACTA daje glasbeni in filmski industriji orožje, ki ponudnike Interneta prisiljuje, da nadzorujejo in cenzurirajo svoja omrežja in njihove uporabnike. Hranijo vso komunikacijo in v primeru kršitev reagira in kaznuje preko privatnih pogodbenikov. Takšna privatna policija in pravosodje na Internetu je nasprotje demokracije in resnično ogroža naše naslednje osnovne svobode:

Nadzirali in hranili bodo vse naše spletne aktivnosti brez sodne odredbe: poslane emaile, klepete, Facebook, Twitter, vse kar iščete, berete, poslušate, gledate, pišete in objavljate.

ALI BOMO VSE TO DOPUSTILI? NEEEEEE! Odgovorni za ACTA vas ne slišijo dovolj dobro ali bomo dovolili tajno sprejemanje takšnih sporazumov? NEEEE! GLASNEJE!, še GLASNEJE, še GLASNEJE! Hvala!

Cenzuriranje in sankcioniranje za objavljanje kopij, povezovanje ali indeksiranje do kršitev zaščitenih plačljivih vsebin kot to počneta recimo Wikipedia, Google, TorrentBay, MegaUpload in tudi posameznike. Velja tudi recimo za strani WikiLeaks, ki razkrivajo vsebine, ki dokazujejo kriminal, korupcijo in druge nepravilnosti, ki najbolj škodijo naši družbi in planetu.

Ki si ne morejo privoščit zaščite, patentiranja in pravnih sporov ali pregona glede pravic intelektualne lastnine.

Preprečuje širjenje, uvoz in prodajo kopij/posnetkov patentiranih znanj, tehnologij, zdravil, izdelkov, rastlin, semen in živali, ki so zaščitene s strani velikih korporacij. Takšne dolgoročne globalne posledice se lahko opišejo samo kot idealne za bogatenje močnega in vplivnega 1%, povečanje njihovega monopola ter širjenje prepada med revnimi bogatimi, med tistimi, ki si lahko privoščijo in tistimi, ki ne in so enostavno katastrofalne. Informacije, znanje in šolanje morajo vedno biti dostopni brezplačno.

Poleg tega, da vsem vsiljuje svoje plačljive vsebine prepoveduje posnemanje, uporabo delov zaščitenih vsebin.

Zagotavljanje monopola velikim mednarodnim korporacijam in preprečujejo konkurenco s strani manjših inovativnih podjetij.

ALI BOMO VSE TO DOPUSTILI? NEEEEEE! Odgovorni za ACTA vas ne slišijo dovolj dobro ali bomo dovolili tajno sprejemanje takšnih sporazumov? NEEEE! GLASNEJE!, še GLASNEJE, še GLASNEJE! Hvala!

ACTA odbor bo lahko spreminjal sporazum po tem, ko bo sprejet. Takšen vzporeden proces, ki dejansko pomeni podpisan prazen ček za ACTA je nekompatibilen z demokracijo. Že to zadostuje, da zavrnemo celotno ACTA.

ALI BOMO TO DOPUSTILI? NEEEEEE! Odgovorni za ACTA vas ne slišijo dovolj dobro ali bomo dovolili tajno sprejemanje takšnih sporazumov? NEEEE! GLASNEJE!, še GLASNEJE, še GLASNEJE! Hvala!

Moramo se zavedati, da današnji svet kontrolirajo in vodijo velike mednarodne korporacije za katerimi je nekaj nesramno bogatih družin, ki so močnejše od posameznih držav. Za ohranitev svoje moči, vpliva in večanje bogastva ne izbirajo sredstev in jih ne zanimajo negativne posledice, mi smo za njih zgolj sredstvo za dosego njihovega cilja.

Pri ACTA in podobnih aktivnostih so najbolj aktivne filmska, glasbena, publicistična, farmacevtska, prehrambena in kemična industrija in, ki ima interese za zaščito svoje intelektualne lastnine. Blizu pa so tudi naftna, vojaška industrija in finančne inštitucije ter banke. Pod svojo kontrolo imajo vse pomembnejše komunikacije, medije, politike in vzvode oblasti. In večina dogajanja in konfliktov v svetu je povezano s temi interesi.

Vsi modeli komuniciranja imajo vgrajene sisteme nadzora in cenzure, od knjig, časopisov, telefonije, televizije do Interneta. Prvič v zgodovini imajo z Internetom široke množice sredstvo komuniciranja, širjenja znanja in informacij in ustvarjanja eksistence, ki je že dlje časa izven njihove polne kontrole, zaradi svojih specifičnosti in hitrosti razvoja. Internet z svojo svobodo in dosegljivostjo je za njih istočasno trn v peti in možno sredstvo za doseganje njihovih interesov in dobičkov.

Zato se že dlje časa trudijo in se bodo tudi v bodočnosti, da ga dobijo pod svoj polni nadzor in kontrolo, na nas in civilni družbi, ki je že predolgo spala in bila neaktivna pa je, da jim to preprečimo!

ALI BOMO TO PREPREČILI? JAAA! Odgovorni za ACTA vas ne slišijo dovolj dobro ali bomo preprečili ACTO in cenzuro Interneta? JAAA! GLASNEJE!, še GLASNEJE, še GLASNEJE! Hvala!

Predolgo smo že v gnilem kompromisu, da sprejemamo dobičkonosno orientirano družbo za ugodnosti, ki naj bi jih nam nudila. Pozabljamo pa, da je cilj ustvarjanja dobička v popolnem konfliktu z našimi interesi. Ker privatizira dobičke socializira pa negativne posledice, dejanske stroške in izgube. Zaradi egoizma nimamo pravih izbir na volitvah, politiki vidijo samo sebe in interese svojih botrov. Zato imamo globalno uničeno družbo, ki vsakodnevno krši našo zasebnost in osnovne pravice, uničeno naravo in okolje, zastrupljen zrak, vodo, hrano in izdelke, ki so vedno slabše kakovostni in ne zdržijo dolgo. Kak dolgo bomo še to PRENAŠALI?

ALI BOSTE ŠE TO PRENAŠALI??? NEEEEEE! Odgovorni za ACTA vas ne slišijo dovolj dobro? NEEEE! GLASNEJE!, še GLASNEJE, še GLASNEJE! Hvala!

Z miroljubnim, nenasilnim delovanjem, obveščanjem, razkrivanjem, medsebojnim povezovanjem in mreženjem, direktnimi akcijami, protesti, civilno neposlušnostjo in "flash mobbingom", pismi in peticijami za spreminjanje: javnega mnenja, delovanja škodljivih podjetij, inštitucij in odgovornih posameznikov, spreminjanje škodljive in nezadovoljive zakonodaje, pisanje in uveljavljanje boljših zakonov.

Če želimo biti enakopravna, napredna in demokratična družba, ki deluje v interesu svojih državljanov in ne dobičkonosno orientiranih korporacij. Vsem moramo nuditi enake možnosti ter skrbeti za tiste, ki potrebujejo pomoč. Dostop do komuniciranja, informacij, znanja, vseh možnih vsebin, šolanja in zdravljenja mora biti brezplačen, svoboden, zaseben in varen, brez povezave z dobičkonosnim interesom, pomeni brez reklam, kar pomeni financiranje z donacijami. Sami pri sebi se morata zavedati in odločiti, da usmerjate svojo pozornost in denar temu, ki si to res zasluži.

Dobičkonosni mediji delujejo v interesu profita, ne pa resnice in ljudi. Rabimo neprofitne socialno mrežne alternative Googlu, Facebooku in Twitterju. Za svobodno demokratično družbi in resničen neodvisen družbeni nadzor so bistveni neodvisni neprofitni klasični in socialni mediji v lasti zaposlenih, neodvisne civilno družbene organizacije, ki se financirajo z donacijami posameznikov.

Taki sta recimo WikiLeaks.org in WikiLeaks.si oz. ActNet.org, kot se bo imenoval. ki bo poleg lokaliziranega globalnega posredovanja dokumentov in prijav kaznivih dejanj, nepravilnosti ter odgovornih opravljal tudi civilno pravni nadzor pregona in sam pregon. Na enem mestu bomo nudili anonimno in varno sodelovanje virom, prostovoljcem, novinarjem, pravnikom, aktivistom in nevladnim organizacijam skupen prostor in potrebna orodja za direktne akcije in tu navedene rešitve najhujših problemov.

Anonimnost in varnost naših virov in sodelavcev ter varnost strežnika in podatkov na njem je naša glavna prioriteta. Ker se projekta lotevamo resno in odgovorno ne želimo nikogar od vpletenih ogrožati. Ne moremo začeti uradno delovati, dokler ne zagotavljamo najvišjega možnega nivoja anonimnosti in varnosti. Takšen visok nivo zahteva ogromna časa, znanja, sredstev, truda in testiranja.

Na vse skupaj so pa vplivali tudi nepredvidljivi dogodki, kot je včerajšnji tehnični problem, ki je povzročil nedelovanje naših strani. V času pisanja govora še ne vem ali bodo med govorom že delovale. Če ne bodo si jih lahko ogledate kot shranjene Googlove posnetke strani. Delamo vse kar je možno da bodo čim prej online.

Ne želimo napovedati točnega datuma začetka uradnega delovanja, pričakujemo pa, da bo to v bližnji prihodnosti. V lanskem letu smo dobili in porabili vseh 1000€ donacij, ki smo jih dobili. Prosim nujno rabimo nove, da financiramo vsaj najnujnejše stroške strežnika. Prosim pomagajte in prispevajte! Če želite pomagati z strokovnimi računalniškimi, pravnimi in novinarskimi znanji, ki jih rabimo ste dobrodošli, kontaktirajte nas na podanih naslovih in povezavah.

Nuditi moremo neprofitne rešitve in alternative, z trajnostnim in poštenim razmerjem ¼ pri plačah. Tako tudi minimalna plača lahko zadošča za dostojno življenje. Država kot lastnica in upravljavka se ravno zaradi interesov profitnih skupin in političnih strank izkazala za neuspešno. Vendar prodaja finančnim investitorjem in tujcem je še slabša. Edina realna rešitev je vrnitev lastništva in upravljanja delavcem.

Ker je trenutno mala možnost, da bi država prostovoljno to počela, jo moramo v to prisiliti, sami pa se moramo organizirati in ustanavljati takšna podjetja/zavode. Stroški ustanovitve so minimalni, obstaja pomoč kot na primer Nevladna.org. Potrebna je samo vztrajnost in odločnost. Neprofitna in trajnostna alternativa bo vedno cenejša in manj škodljiva od profitne, ki mora odvajat denar za dobiček, financirati reklame, enorme plače vodstva in podkupnine.

Namesto tega raje prepuščanje podjetij delavcem v upravljanje. Zlasti pri stečajih in prisilnih poravnavah, za podjetja, ki imajo trg in možnost preživetja. Upniki so lahko dosti boljše poplačani če delavcem prepustijo podjetje in jim dajo dovolj dolg rok za poplačilo terjatev.

Ter promocija in podpora družbeno in okoljsko koristnih, neprofitnih, trajnostnih, lokalnih izdelkov, energije, storitev, podjetij, inštitucij, medijev in držav.

Ustrezno višini dohodka, tisti z največjimi morajo tudi največ prispevati. Enaka obdavčitev velja tudi za dohodke iz davčnih oaz.

Rešitev ni v zmanjševanje stroškov države ampak v preprečitev neupravičenega odtekanje davkoplačevalskega denarja v privatne žepe ter v povečanju učinkovitosti in odgovornosti državnih inštitucij in odgovornih oseb, tudi pri pobiranju davkov. VEČ O VSEM NA WIKILEAKS.SI.

NE PUSTITE, DA ZA VAS VELJA SINDROM POČASI SKUHANE ŽABE, KI SI MISLI, SEJ BO, DA ŠE NI TAK HUDO.
JE HUDO, SEDAJ JE ZADNJI ČAS, DA STOPIMO SKUPAJ IN UKREPAMO, DRUGAČE BOMO SKUHANI DO SMRTI!

ALI BOMO ZAUSTAVILI ACTA IN UVELJAVILI REŠITVE ZA NAJHUJŠE DRUŽBENE PROBLEME? JAAA! Odgovorni za ACTA vas ne slišijo dovolj dobro! JAAA! GLASNEJE!, še GLASNEJE, še GLASNEJE! Hvala!
