PREPARING FOR AND LEARNING TO SURVIVE THE COMING PERFECT STORM

[Jim Pupulva interviews Stoneleigh of The Automatic Earth]

I’m not convinced they want the public to know anything about it [peak oil] at all. I think they prefer to keep anything that might be remotely alarming under wraps because they don’t want the public to be spooked, I mean we’re already pretty much on a knife edge with regard to finance. And so they just do not want anyone spooked at this point. Because there are so many things that could unfold quickly if the confidence game that they’ve been playing doesn’t actually work.

So, I mean you’re seeing a lot of cheerleading in financial terms, and really not a lot of real information at all, whether it’s energy, whether it’s finance, or pretty much anything else, uh that they, there’s, the public are being fed this constant diet of pablum, of you know, bread and circuses and and things like that, and if … there really is very little information out there in the mainstream, if you want to know what’s going on, how the world works, you have to go looking for it yourself, and really not very many people do.
