Bild am Sonntag and Auto Bild have bestowed General Motors chairman and CEO, Mary Barra, the “Honorary Golden Steering Wheel” after recognizing her work to move corporate culture forward.
Barra accepted the award with Opel CEO Dr. Karl-Thomas Neumann present, who also applauded her tireless work for GM and Opel.
“We are proud to have a leader like Mary Barra at the helm at General Motors. She has a clear vision for GM that we are realizing together and that has played a key role in getting Opel back on the track to success,” the Opel boss said.
Judges also called Barra’s leadership a “renaissance.”
“Mary Barra is responsible for the renaissance of General Motors. She has led the company into the future by establishing a new corporate culture, advancing trend-setting models and entering innovative business areas for GM. In the process, Opel was always part of her equation and the brand’s upward trend in the last years is due not least thanks to her.”
This is the first time a Golden Steering Wheel award has been named for executive, normally saved for vehicles themselves.

Dear Ms. Barra,
I thought you may find the following letter interesting. I know Senator Kaine did. Also, could you please make sure that Mr. Buble got my message about NOT driving his children in his powerful hybrid, thanks.

Honorable Senator Kaine
I realize you are extremely busy, and I very much appreciate you taking the time to listen to a “nobody” like me, a Republican.
I know you try to be a good man, and I value that. You still have that genuine smile on your face. That can only mean one thing….that you still have not been informed by your two mentors…President Obama and Presidential Candidate Clinton…about their evil experiment on American Children…and they justify it with Climate Change…which is an invalid justification because the product they try to protect is horrible for the environment.
I think the draft letter below that I wrote to the director of the National Cancer Institute (but decided not to send him) can give you some idea of what is going on here:
____________________________________________________________________________________
Dear Dr. Lowy,
Congratulations on your many distinguished accomplishments and awards, especially on the National Medal of Technology presented to you by President Obama and on your position as the Director of the National Cancer Institute. You and President Obama clearly share a great friendship, which has been recently affirmed by the $680 million of additional funding given by President Obama to support cancer research. How very generous of President Obama and Vice President Biden to provide so much necessary additional funding for cancer research. Unfortunately, your favorite president gave many times more than $680 million to one of his closest friends – his greatest American hero – in order to subsidize a product that causes cancer; a product that will ultimately make President Obama very rich. In fact, President Obama hopes all Americans will buy this product and he has even set goals for this product’s market penetration. President Obama also directs various agencies to target those products that compete with his PRECIOUS product, especially the EPA. The best part of all of this is, the National Cancer Institute intentionally provides false information that protects President Obama’s favorite product and allows his closest friend…his greatest American hero…to literally make a killing. If it was up to me, I would have given all the tax money that President Obama uses to subsidize this hazardous product to both the NCI and the ACS instead and I would send President Obama’s Valentine’s dinner buddy – his greatest American hero – to Siberia. Yes, they have dinner together on Valentine’s…usually in the Los Angeles or San Francisco area…First Lady not invited. President Obama has given $billions to support his PRECIOUS product in subsidies and credits that add up to as much as 50% of this product’s cost per unit sold – all while being fully aware of the health risks associated with the use of this product – and all he could manage to give the NCI is $680 million so that the NCI would lie about the health risks so that President Obama and his greatest American hero would have a scapegoat in the NCI?
So, President Obama and his very close and special friend can now say: “we didn’t know this product was harmful…even the NCI says that it is safe.” It is easy to guess the type of conclusions that most folks as dumb as me would make from the above facts…and about how convenient your friendship with President Obama is with regards to this very dangerous product…but I decided to dig a little deeper. I like to examine all the permutations and combinations before deciding on the most likely scenario for the political setting that I presented above. Fortunately, I’m a million times better at science and engineering than at politics, so I could be wrong on the politics here….but I’m definitely right on the science. Before I talk about the facts associated with the science relative to President Obama’s favorite and very carcinogenic product that NCI protects, I would first like to take this opportunity to present to you my theory about WHO I think is behind the politically driven lies presented by NCI that I think you unknowingly inherited. Before I do that, please let me assure you that I have all the respect in the world for NCI. As I said, I am all in favor of giving NCI all the money for cancer research that is needed (and I know that a lot more is needed) and the only thing I would ever expect from NCI is real science, not political science.
So, WHO do I think is responsible for the lies that NCI uses to protect President Obama’s favorite product? The answer is exactly in the “WHO”. You see, the same lies that are presented by NCI are also presented by the World Health Organization. Can you think of anyone WHO has deep ties to both NCI and the WHO? Can you think of anyone that was associated with NCI that is much closer to President Obama than you are? I can. In fact, this person resigned his position at NCI at about the same time when I really went on the offensive and started to attack (with science of course…wasn’t hard) President Obama’s PRECIOUS product that Dr. Harald Varmus so elegantly protected at both the WHO and at the NCI. Even the ACS seems to have gotten the same directive. Unlike you, Dr. Varmus seems to be a lot more interested in political science than in real science. Dr. Varmus was a key figure in the 1992 Clinton-Gore campaign. Dr. Varmus was appointed to lead the National Cancer Institute by President Obama. Dr. Varmus also held a very influential position at the WHO. Bottom line is…I think you’re off the hook…so good news.
So, what is the PRECIOUS product that President Obama wants all American Children to be exposed to because it will make him filthy rich and satisfy his very blinded vision of the future? Why is President Obama so passionate about making sure that Hillary continues the flow of billions of taxpayer dollars to President Obama’s special Valentine – money that I believe should go to organizations such as the NCI? President Obama wants all Americans to drive their children in electric cars, preferably TESLAs. Let me quote directly from the source that Dr. Varmus (and those working under his direction) used to falsely justify his position regarding the health safety of this product:
“The numbers of killer cells and monocytes were significantly increased in the exposed group while monocytes had significantly reduced phagocytic activity compared with those from unexposed personnel.”
Yes, I know what you’re thinking…some primitive scientific jargon for someone with your background. It’s vintage June 2001 – ages ago for modern medicine. Nevertheless, both the NCI and the WHO use this research because it serves their purpose…I can spend another page explaining why. It’s interesting that with all the other more recent research available that clearly shows health risks from long term exposure to powerful electro-magnetic fields, organizations such as the WHO and the NCI use something from fifteen years ago – a IARC Monograph in which politically motivated authors first clearly stated that YES, EMF DOES AFFECT OUR CANCER IMMUNE SYSYTEM (because it was too obvious to lie about it) but overall the studies have been inconclusive. It’s like saying that “yes, the data shows things are bad, but because of all the scatter we’ll just call it inconclusive.” Then Dr. Varmus took it one step further and interpreted “inconclusive” to mean “safe at any dose”. Anyway, let me get back to science.
Let me try something more recent that is tied in to the reduced monocyte function:
“Indeed, they found that human monocyte derived macrophages were less efficient in engulfing apoptotic cells from an MCF7 breast cancer cell-line if DD1A or TP53 (which encodes p53) were depleted from the target cells by shRNA. Similar results were obtained using other cell systems, suggesting that p53-induced expression of DD1α promotes the clearance of apoptotic cells by phagocytes.”
In addition, from 2011:
“Monocytes are also hypersensitive to ionizing radiation” (indicating that sensitivity to non-ionizing radiation is also expected)
The above are just a few examples. Clearly, monocytes are vulnerable not only to chemicals and ionizing radiation, but also to non-ionizing radiation (long term exposure.) There is no reasonable doubt that ELF (EMF) impacts monocytes in a very negative way, and even the IARC Monograph referenced by the NCI and the WHO clearly states this…although Dr. Varmus does not think that reducing our ability to fight cancer is in itself carcinogenic…it’s a clever play on definitions…but from a scientific perspective it’s just plain WRONG and MALICIOUS.
Of course I’m just an engineer connecting the dots here. I’m no molecular biologist. You can be the judge and determine if I’m connecting the dots wrong regarding the health effects. My realm is the man-made environmental factor itself – EMF, and its sources. I even taught a graduate engineering course at a Polytechnic on finite elements – a mathematical tool used to perform interesting studies such as visualizing the warping of magnetic gradients. My professional experience includes electrified transit and even MAGLEV.
Finally, I think everyone is in agreement (WHO, NCI, ACS) that long term exposure to powerful EMF has a significant effect on MELATONIN production….THAT YOU CANNOT TAKE AWAY FROM ME. I don’t think Dr. Varmus got the memo that there is more to melatonin than just sleep-cycle regulation…or perhaps the memo conflicted with his political directive, so he swiped it clean off his server.
Essentially, President Obama’s PRECIOUS product affects the hormone and chemical production in our brains, and I submit to you that it also affects essential cancer-linked protein production, specifically our famous guardian angel protein. You would not believe what a role the number “53” has played in my life…because you are a man of science. I am a man who allows my faith to guide my science. Some have even suggested that some Biblical phenomena may be involved. I have assured those good Christian American folks that I’m definitely not the person that God would select to deliver some Biblical message…I would be an embarrassment to the Christian faith…I am more likely destined for purgatory (definitely for long term exposure). However, if you were to consider all of my God given knowledge and experience, you might conclude that God picked a good tool for the job. In fact, just about everything I have learned in my life has prepared me for this…and after I received the final lesson….God took my blindfolds off…I think even your favorite president is dumbfounded by the events that have taken place…which is why he so desperately tries to conceal the fact that he has met with his greatest hero in California this past Valentine’s Eve. Before you accuse me of likewise being politically motivated and simply attacking the liberal socialist left, please consider the fact that I have given your favorite president a very long time to do the right thing here…to be the real hero for American Children…instead he chose to continue to be captivated by his PRECIOUS and Musk.
The good news is that the strongest evidence of powerful Static and Extremely Low-Frequency Electro-Magnetic Fields (EMF) having an adverse health effect points only to long term exposure. What this means is that when Mr. Varmus responds to these accusations that I have made by telling you that you better forget about doing any MRI’s if what I’m saying is true, he will really be insulting your intelligence, for two reasons. First, an MRI is an extremely short duration EMF that a person will be subjected to very infrequently. Second, an MRI is an essential medical diagnostic tool without much better alternatives….President Obama’s favorite product is a non-essential product with many competing and far safer alternatives. I find it disgusting when my opposition tries to use essential technologies such as an MRI to protect their precious money-making consumer product that is driven purely by politics.
I can write a book on all the science that is involved here. I can write another book on everything I have done to try to bring this truth to the American People. Please be the doctor that you are and take a closer look at the attachment that I have provided. Don’t be like Mr. Varmus who has let down every child that has been injected with chemo…and I don’t have to tell you about the life expectancies for the survivors. Only Children face real monsters. I wish I could help them fight these monsters. Unfortunately, I only get to go up against disgusting beings such as Musk who think it is OK to experiment on Children…and Musk justifies it by thinking we are all a part of some virtual reality simulation…that’s your favorite president’s greatest American hero… and President Obama does all he can to cover for Musk…too bad President Obama is not as devoted to other causes such as fighting cancer…he seems more content with helping Musk cause pediatric cancer.
I don’t understand how you can stand up there with that smile when your consumers are driving around with faulty airbags and seat belt restraints.I contacted you and you just blew me off like I didn’t matter what so ever.SHAME ON GM AND YOU MS BARRA
