$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('seldom_seen', 'I')'m convinced that this guy is some sort of paid propagandist for TPTB to spread FUD.
He had a brief segment at the beginning of coasttocoast am tonight.
In a nutshell he said:
a terrorist nuclear attack is imminent (fear)
peak oil is a complete myth (denial)
the canadian oil sands have trillions of barrels of oil (disinformation)
They treated the oil sands as if they were "just discovered!" Like a new find. They both got all excited about it and talked about how we'll have oil for hundreds of years.
It was weird.
Seldom Seen,
I totally agree: there was something unusual about it (unusual by even C2C standards).
I heard the show and it was such obvious dis-information. There are all sorts of ways to "debunk Peak Oil" that would be much more grounded in reality (although not necessarily accurate or realistic) than jumping up and down and saying "we just found 100 years worth of oil in Canada!!!" like it's a new discovery or something.
There has been a lot of "weird" stuff surrounding Corsi's appearances on C2C. By weird, I don't mean the usual stuff. But I can't quite put my finger on what is going on.
If I was trying to "debunk Peak Oil", I'd stick with the chimpy-optimist in cheif Amory Lovins. The techno-fantasy stuff really gets people's juices flowing.
C2C has really been pushing the "we need to go to war with Iran" bit. George spent 20 minutes a few shows back trying to get Alex Jones to say we need to invade Iran, but Alex wouldn't bite. (I don't think Alex spotted what was going on, he's not too good with subtlety)
Best,
Matt
