eestor lore and Cliffords' folly


I wanted to draw some more attention to this as I've been reading a fair amount of PR-ing that Ian had done back before zenn was zenn and was in fact feel good cars. At the time, they had some ridiculous claim that they could break down water into hydrogen and extract enough energy from that to power a car. The sheer number of ridiculous claims that Ian Clifford subjects me to in this article leaves this forum to small a place to explain, but I'll let you read it for yourself.

Ian Clifford Himself;

"All drive components are ready to go," said Clifford. - circa 2004
Now at the time, This scam was carried aloft by a company called AEC or Alternative Energy Corporation. It was run, for the most part by a guy named, Blaine Froats, Chairman. This is the Richard Weir of AEC for comparison sake. They were just as apt and maybe more so of ridiculous PR stunts and exaggerations that had many do-gooders and well-wishers salivating over the ill-founded lore that FGC (feel good cars) was going to change the world. AEC was possibly even better at bankrupting investors, but I doubt it.
I’ll let you read some details about this guy (Blaine Froats) here at http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/155/RipOff0155298.htm
There are even blogs that draw strange similarities to the believer/non believer sentiments much akin to what we observe now at sites like the yahoo message boards and http://www.theeestory.com/.

Point of the above link is that it directly relates to the latest “testing” information provided by eestor as of late, I’ll let you draw your own conclusions about it. Just pop in a search for AEC or Blaine Froats and you will see that there is about as much garbage from him as there is about EESTOR as of late.
Why bring this up? Because Ian Clifford, CEO of now ZNN, is perpetuating a new scam on the exact same model as the past with a few minor variations. They are still even using the same crappy French company to supply them with the golf carts.
So yeah, maybe not a lot of new information, but it’s definitely something to chew on. As far as I know Ian Clifford never issued a press release to all the lemmings out there that weren’t smart enough to see through the smoke explaining why there was never any water powered cars coming off of his 10,000 car capacity production line. If I had to venture a guess, that’s why they changed their name to Zenn. Does that stand for Zero Earnings No Nothing?
So rest assured, when Zenn does decide that EESTOR is not a viable technology for the future hoards of commuters and over-consumers, you will never hear about it. All things of this nature pass quietly in the night and corporations dissipate or reform with new and improved business plans, advertising campaigns, and false hopes, and a new board of directors, It’s the way of things lately, the American way.
"All drive components are ready to go," said Clifford. - circa 2004
“we have announced that we will be launching our city zenn vehicle which will be powered by eestor technology at the end of 2009 ”
“we are still on target for that” said Ian Clifford. – circa 2009
