>BACKGROUND INFO: The Lucas Aerospace Shop 
>Stewards Combines Alternative Corporate Plan 
>(The Lucas Plan) was launched in 1976 and 
>became famous worldwide, sparking an 
>international movement for socially useful 
>production and workers plans. Facing the threat 
>of redundancies, the Combine collected 150 ideas 
>from shop floor workers about alternative 
>socially useful products that could be produced 
>by the company, instead of relying on military 
>orders. Many of the innovations in the plan, 
>such as hybrid car engines, heat pumps and wind 
>turbines were commercially viable and are now in 
>widespread use. Although the Alternative Plan 
>was rejected by Lucas Aerospace managers, it was 
>instrumental in protecting jobs at Lucas in the 
>1970s. The Combine was nominated for the Nobel 
>Peace Prize in 1979 and Mike Cooley received the 
>Right Livelihood Award in 1982. More information 
>about the Plan, including the 53-page summary of 
>the five 200 page volumes, can be found on the 
>conference website, <http://www.lucasplan.org.uk>www.lucasplan.org.uk.

"The maintenance of secrets acts like a psychic 
poison which alienates the possessor from the community" Carl Jung
<https://217.72.179.7/members/www.bilderberg.org/phpBB2/>https://217.72.179.7/members/www.bilderberg.org/phpBB2/

Fear not therefore: for there is nothing covered 
that shall not be revealed; and nothing hid that 
shall not be made known. What I tell you in 
darkness, that speak ye in the light and what ye 
hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Matthew 10:26-27

Die Pride and Envie; Flesh, take the poor's advice.
Covetousnesse be gon: Come, Truth and Love arise.
Patience take the Crown; throw Anger out of dores:
Cast out Hypocrisie and Lust, which follows whores:
Then England sit in rest; Thy sorrows will have end;
Thy Sons will live in peace, and each will be a friend.
