A couple of us in Glastonbury, namely reggieUK and myself, are already making these connections. Everywhere you look, a lot of the major political and military decisions being taken may well have PO connections. The thing is though, they're scrabbling around in the hope they can put it off, which is ridiculous. Far better to start implementing the stuff we'll need to survive post PO.

Rowante, I think you're right about Ruppert, its a shame that some people throw a lot of assumptions into complicated situations like 9/11. I'm sort of aware that Jim Garrisson did the same thing over the Kennedy Assassination. At first, alerted by the Oliver Stone movie, I was really into Garrisson's evidence, and still am, some of it, but then I discovered more serious works on the Kennedy thing, that really went into it, and those authors (I forget their names) lamblasted Garrisson for screwing up what could have been a thorough and extensive investigation. I seem to remember saying that Garrisson rushed it, and messed up as a result.

This is the problem with conspiracy theorists, they're in love with conspiracy theories, with creating sensationalism, rather than finding out the truth.

When is the US government going to release the files on Kennedy by the way?

[RobintheDruid]

Ah, in that case, I've fallen into a classic conspiracy theory trap then. I was under the impression that there was still loads more stuff they were supressing, like witness statements about smoke from the grassy knoll etc

Hey, how did I get onto this? Cancel the conspiracy stuff and lets get back to oil

[ascension]

Well ... this is my first post! Woo hoo!

I know the next couple weeks will be full of shock. I'm already finding myself read a post, stop & think, read some more, stop & think again (for a longer time than the last) ... repeat process over & over.

Glad to see and read from some really interesting people.

Welcome to Peak Oil Ascension

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', 't')his is a good thread. call me crazy, but i totally agree with rupports theory about 911.

[AdamB]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', 'i') think people are also failing to recognize the snow ball effect theory. when the economy declines from the raising cost of energy, things will collapse quickly. this entire economy is based on people borrowing the bankers money.

[AgentR11]

Nothing the US economy does can be expected to be quick. Too much inertia, to much grain, plenty of energy, oil and coal and gas; mediocre but acceptable infrastructure. The trains usually make it safely to the end of their lines. OTOH, I wouldn't be surprised to end up in a period where ROI < COLA for an extended interval. That would be bad. Wouldn't be collapse. But it would hurt a lot of people.

Grain doesn't rely on cheap labor so much as vast mechanization, so everyone's cornflakes will be fine. Its stuff like strawberries and small green things, I'd expect they're going to have some trouble getting them out of the dirt soon.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', 't')his is a good thread. call me crazy, but i totally agree with rupports theory about 911. the US government knew about peak oil along time ago and needed a fake terror attack to get the american people on board. it makes perfect sense. if you read and study all the different things going on and around the time of 911, its totally obvious. i love the video of wtc 7 emploding. the twin towers emploded also. the siesmagraphs show activity before the buildings collapsed. oklahoma city bombings , flight 800, 911, the plane that crashed right after 911 in ny, the list goes on and on. the election was also stolen. the exit polls prove that.

[AdamB]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('PhilBiker', 'W')elcome aboard.

Matt's "Life After The Oil Crash" is a bit extreme. I recommend reading - start with Kenneth Defeyes who is not so much doom and gloom as many of the other Peakniks.
