The whole set is still on YouTube for free so I am rewatching them. Still pretty credible even four years later.
II Chronicles 7:14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Except for the part that his predictions of a crash didn't happen.

Certain species, under certain conditions, might think so.

I read through Martenson series back in 2009. He predicted the crash was imminent. We had a recession but no crash. Now nine years later I'm supposed to believe that "this time is different" Naw I don't think so.

Martenson's ideas about a "crash" were almost spot on. We only avoided a serious global depression because no one foresaw the lengths global financial powers and governments would go to in order to prop up the system. His ideas have merit and are well thought out. No one is going to get the timeline perfect. As was mentioned above...give it time...the math will always win. The U.S. cannot continue its path of financial idiocy forever without consequences. History alone teaches us that.

Except for the crash part. And the peak oil part.
But man I'll bet you he now makes a pretty penny selling website subscriptions telling you how to prosper in the NEXT coming crash (or the 3 that have occurred since the last recession that we all didn't notice). So good for him, even if he doesn't know squat about oil, he was able to turn it to his financial advantage by taking advantage of the legions of gullible doomers!

Has been for centuries. Only folks like Chris think they have cornered the market on prognostication, or maybe he doesn't think that, and just has a business model to sell the idea to the fools who aren't familiar with the "Harold Camping routine" as some might label it. Ruppert and Savinar tried it, Chris appears to be succeeding, Heinberg is trying it out as well, as is Kunstler, I'm not so sure they have the model locked down yet to make them as much as they'd like. PCI is begging for cash in their newsletter, and Jim seems a bit disenchanted with trying to get rich off cute writing always predicting an end that doesn't come. I suppose when your business model requires only those who combine both gullibility, ignorance and the attention span of a goldfish all in the same person, once you collect the peak oilers still sitting in the pews of the old church, the market just doesn't have many others who hit on all those cylinders.

Fear sells. Martenson works on the same level as Peter Schiff. Claim that you know where to stash your money because financial doom awaits.
Given that conflict of interest, however, should we accept Martenson's opinions at face value on the future? No. He has a vested interest in doomsaying.
