Hi everybody,

I’m new to this peak oil forum and the reason for my posting today is I want
To know if there is anything else that requires a major and fundamental shift
In my current way of thinking and believes and models of reality and life in general that I
Do not know about? Peak oil is definitely number #1 on my list right now.
But just a few months ago I knew NOTHING about ‘peak’ oil crisis and seriously this new knowledge has made me wonder what else I don’t know that I should be knowing….

Just as an example. Am a 21, and just a few years back when in high school my honest to truth ‘vision’ of the future was that of continuous increase of standard of living in
American and throughout the world. Sounds crazy and stupid now in hindsight, but back then it was pretty rational assumption to me.

As a youngster I remember reading Isaac Asimov’s science books (for kids) and believing that one day (if not in my lifetime then in my grandkids lifetime) we will travel to the stars and colonize other faraway planets.

As we grow and learn our model of reality changes. We get closer and closer to the ‘truth’.

Just last year I had a fundamental shift in the way I thought about food, nutriention, doctors, FDA, organized medicine, etc. I learned that everything we have been told
By so called ‘medical professions’, the FDA, the USDA and even up to the government Food Pyramid is full of lies, false data, and big corporations sabotaging our health to gain the extra profits. Even the very doctors who are trying to help us are…
Anyways..

I provide some links in case other’s may be interested.

I’ve had acne most of my teenage life and been to plenty of doctors and dermatologists and specialists, and each of them always told me that diet had no effect whatsoever on acne. The conventional pamphlets and brochures all said the same thing, that eating sugary foods, spicy foods, junk food had no negative effect whatsoever on acne, and they claim to back that statement up with ‘scientific studies’. The truth is they LIE.
I had the learn the lesson the HARD way after finding out that diet (what you eat) has EVERYTHING to do with my acne. In fact, now I am more convinced than ever that a Western Diet is what causes people who are already genetically prone to acne (individuals like myself) to develop and exacerbate the condition into uncontrollable full blown acne. After this I completely lost faith in ‘doctors’ and the so called expert “medical profession’. After all, if they can’t even get a simple thing like acne facts straight, I wonder what else they have been getting wrong and how much innocent people had to suffer because of this.

The point is, later I became more open minded to things and learned a lot more about the way things are instead of the way we are ‘told’ they are.

I learned how evil this American government truly is. I won’t need to elaborate.

And now recently I learned about ‘peak oil’. Peak Oil makes everything else seem trivial and insignificant in comparison. (who care’s if the FDA is being bribed by the evil Big Pharma if we are returning to the stone age in a few decades????)

In a nutshell, my question to you people out there is this:
Is there anything else of greater ‘truth’ that effects the life of all of us that
Conventional thinking people doesn’t know about? I know about the evils of the
FDA and prescription drugs, I know about the War on Terror propaganda, I
Know about the lie and hoax of ‘God’ and religion to confuse and control the masses, I know about peak oil and the coming collapse of civilization as we know it,
But at each stage just as I though for sure this time nothing can get worse it often does.
Is there any other bad/dark news I need to be warned about?


Thanks
Bo

Don't swallow the whole bottle of red pills at once.

Take a few deep breaths & google search "Bird Flu"...or see the bird flu thread under CURRENT EVENTS.

On a good note...slice up an onion & lay it on the skin...that will cure acne. However DON'T BURN YOURSELF!!! try it for 1 minute the first time...the work your way up to 2...3...4 minutes (etc.). See how it works for your own skin.

I recommend you read the Amazon customers' reviews of this book: Click

The book is less than 150 pages and describes the current human predicament more succinctly than anything I've read. Our species/society is insane. The author offers a way for an individual to to find a saner way of living.

You've expressed a willingness to look beyond the distractainment and hype of so-called petroindustrial "civilization". Good for you and good luck.

ark.. here are a couple of tidbits for ya..



go google some info on 'fiat currency'

and see if that leads you down the road to the creation of the federal reserve.. red hot printing presses... inflation yeae haaa.. We're talkin big lies now.

or.. google something like great depression + central banks

and see if that doesn't lead you down the same path to how the Fed are a buncha criminal bankers. Learn a bit about the greenback and the currency Kennedy wanted to bring in...

ya big huge lies in the money system.. big red pill there for those who thought it was actually based on .. something/ anything.

Peak Oil notables such as Richard Heinberg, Michael Ruppert and Barrie Zwicker (producer/host of the film 'End of Surburbia') believe or strongly suspect that elements of the US Gov't engineered or allowed the attacks of 911 in order to rally the nation to a long war in the Middle East and Central Asia over the control of energy resources and ultimately, the world.

Just yesterday, David Ray Griffin, author of 'The New Pearl Harbor' discussed the reasons why he and many others think so. Give it a listen and pass it on.

Thanks for the replies everyone! I will take note of your advice.

To the person who said 'ignorance is bliss' you are so right! I still keep
wishing to myself this 'peak oil' is somehow greatly exaggerated, but
the more I examine it the more real it becomes.

And sadly, we can only do so much to prepare. A lot of it is truly beyond us.

one things for sure, we live in interesting times indeed! What are the odds that my own biological peak (20-22 age range) will precisely coincide with the peak of oil on earth! Something that has been billions of years in the making! it's like witnessing a historical solar eclipse, of all the generations that came before me, and all the generations that will come after me, I get the privilege of witnessing the greatest event in the history of man, a once in a forever event.

Add in nuclear war, global warming, AIDS/SARS/Bird Flu, collapse of the American Empire, the coming China America conflict, interesting times indeed!

Although, I do wonder what the religious people will think or say when
their 'God' doesn't come back. I bet they'll blame it on the unbelievers lack of faith..

Since you seem to be interested in food, there is a very good book out there called: The slow Posioning of America

I am sure you can relate to just about everything this book. It is a very good read and it could be the imputis that gets you into a more organic lifestyle. Many advocate here the best way to deal with PO is to learn to grow your own food. Not only is it more healthy for you it is better for the planet as well. See the planning for the future forum for more info.

If you think the FDA is bunch or lieing criminals then take a look at the lies the US Geological Survey has been pedeling. They are even more in bed with Big Oil than the FDA is with agribusiness and big pharma. Never listen to anything the USGS says about Peak Oil. They are trying to get rich at your expense.

All in all the best advise is to get your mind in order for the comming crisis. You are now part of a priviledged few who can see the approach of the greatest event in human history. You can feel somewhat at ease knowing you will not be blindsided by the peak oil crisis like of the world. Read the posts here and elsewhere. Go to the library and check out some of the PO books.

Ask yourself why there is 80 years between:

American Revolution 1780
Civil War 1860
WWII 1940

- then add 80 to 1940 and think about 2020 - 14 years from now.

- now google 'Fourth Turning'

(you asked).

Hi, everybody!

Just one remark. I just must tell you that almost all of you are blinded in one very important matter and that is God. Do not be fooled into thinking that he doesn't exist... Religion is wery far from God and does not show Him in true light. It is the very opposite of faith. Read in your Bibles what Jesus really said when He walked on this Earth 2000 years ago. He is the Truth, the ultimate red pill..

Joh 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

1Ti 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all evils, by means of which some having lusted after it were seduced from the faith, and they themselves pierced through by many pains.

2Ti 3:1 But know this, that in the last days grievous times will be upon us.
2Ti 3:2 For men will be lovers of themselves, money-lovers, braggarts, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2Ti 3:3 without natural feeling, unyielding, slanderers, without self-control, savage, haters of good,
2Ti 3:4 betrayers, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
2Ti 3:5 having a form of godliness, but denying the power of it; even turn away from these.

Turn to Jesus. He wil open your eyes forever...

[aldente]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Peak_Plus', 'I')'ve had this thought thousands of times. Isn't it incredible? Don't you get a real sense of Awe at the greatness of it all? This really is a one-time thing - just like your own life is.

[Carlhole]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Peak_Plus', 'W')hy try to invest in your fellow human or a good carrier or a healthy body or in the TRUTH behind things, if there is NO absolute TRUTH? Nietsche (God is dead) commited suicide because of his disbelief.

Think for yourself, and don't take mankind's deepest question - of God and whether we can know him - on the light shoulder. Peak Oil is a trivial question in comparison. All disorder / idiocy / lies of the world fade quickly when this question is faced.

[aldente]

Absolutely accurate Carlhole. I tried to put some light on that in my most recent thread: http://www.peakoil.com/fortopic18753.html
