In my opinion, when you find a good business plan with such good timing and which must surely be sending untold panic and fear into cartel-operators, you really shouldn't be this surprised at these black-PR attacks... you should be expecting them. And worse, too.

Especially as the project begins to take serious shape. Do you really think the Protectionists are simply going to roll-over and say here's my lunch?

Come on peeps... don't get too freaked out. If you've done your homework and the ppt team is showing signs of progress and delivery, that's good enough for me. Let the attackers try their hand.

ps. one thing I do expect for projects like PPT and VERI is for the financial cartel-operators to attempt to court the project creators... using all the snake-oil and slimy charm they can muster. The creators would do well to brace themselves for this extremely well-funded charm-offensive. When these people see that they can't win, they know the next step is to become their enemy.
