$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Specop_007', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('TWilliam', 'W')elcome to peakoil.com taizy8.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('taizy8', 'I')f we want to read this stuff we can just google "conspiracies" and "armaggedon" ... let's keep this forum real: most PO people are too busy working, prepping and growing lettuce to be bothered.


Which is why 'most PO people' refrain from browsing the Open Discussion sub-forum. If you DON'T want to read this 'stuff' then I suggest you do likewise, as this 'stuff' is exactly the kind of 'stuff' this particular sub-forum is here to accommodate:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'O')ff Topic Posts! Post off-topic current events news & media here.

The Open Forum is for ANY topic and not necessarily about peakoil related issues.


The 'real' stuff is available in the other sub-forums...


Oh bullshit.
The Open Discussion forum was for anything. Its just been taken over by people posting about the 2nd coming of Maya and aliens ruling our government and the moon landings being faked.

99.9999% of all the other forums on the planet dont discuss this whacky crap anywhere in them. For some reason this forum has managed to draw quite a collection of absolutely batshit insane people to it, and thus we have an Open Discussion forum that most likely scares away most new people.

Now if you can find other forums that talk about as much far out crap as is discussed in Open here, I'll eat my hat.
Oh, and it cant be madeupshit.com either.

Ahhh...wing support from TWilliam...Thanks Bro...

Was it not Kissinger in the 70s that said (among other things) that 80% of the population must be culled.

Did not Prince Andrew say recently that if he came back (after death) he would want to come back as a virus to cull the useless eaters...

Oh and the grandpappy of them all...our buddy D. Roccefeller:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '"')For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure--one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.


I have to constantly remind myself that most posters here on PO are ...well...like most people. Ignorant, lazy, and pretentious.

So it goes.

No prob rocc.

You know the thing that really puzzles me is that many of these 'elite' make it perfectly clear, publicly, that they both support and actively pursue a united world government, that they are aware that population pressures must be addressed on an unprecedented scale, etc., and yet people will still stick their heads in the sand and insist that 'conspiracy theories' are completely unfounded.

Ah well... as you say... so it goes...

Au contraire, Calvin. Take a look at some of the topics in Political Crossfire's Alternate Theories Forum:

UFO’s—A Government Coverup?
June 4th the Whitey Bomb will be released
The 9/11 TM, Free Energy Suppr, & the Global Elite's Age
Masonic Secret Society-Moon Connection Exposed
Exposing the Satanic Empire - Video Series-Irrefutable

And that's just the first page. Wingnuts aren't unique to peak oil...believe it or not. You need to spend less time building your compound and more time online! :roll:

I mostly disregard all the frenzied hysteria, totally ignore the freakishness - not to mention 130 pages on the scope of dieoff or 9/11 or the Christian outlook on PO. Or guns, for that matter. Just don't have the time.

I have said it before and I will say it again. A lot of talk about elite conspiracies and not much emigrating. Lots of people asking everyone to believe something they show no signs of taking seriously themselves. When I buy a newspaper this side of the pond from an American and not from someone with a newly minted EU passport, I might reconsider. Until then, this is all tinfoil.

Here in NZ I've met a surprising number of Americans who have left the US because they fear for the future of their country. But certainly, there is hardly a mass exodus. Perhaps the psychological pull of one's homeland shouldn't be underestimated.

I'm not sure why a shift to the UK would appeal to a prospective US emigre? Frying pan into the fire?

Well Pops...you of all should have this saying tatooed on your ass...or at a minimum memorized...

something about leading a horse to water...

oh well...so it goes.

Tell ya what pops...when it plays out like I say its gonna play out (or within the 5 ring)...I promise I won't say, "I told you so".

I will however say, "I FUCKING told you so"....just testing the profanity sensor poppies - ya'll understand - eh?

You can lead a horse to water;
But you can't make a duck wear a saddle.


I was just simply trying to suggest trying something more palatable for the ducks.

If that isn't your intent then OK.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('CrudeAwakening', 'H')ere in NZ I've met a surprising number of Americans who have left the US because they fear for the future of their country. But certainly, there is hardly a mass exodus. Perhaps the psychological pull of one's homeland shouldn't be underestimated.

I'm not sure why a shift to the UK would appeal to a prospective US emigre? Frying pan into the fire?


Exactly. It takes a lot of planning and money for a family to relocate to another country. I know because my husband and I are researching that option now. We ruled out the UK due to high housing prices and a lot of other reasons. Our short list is NZ, Australia, and Canada. Moving to Australia or NZ could very easily mean never seeing our families again. (aging parents, price of airfare, 12+ hour flight from here, etc) Obviously, selling our house would also be a requirement before we could go, which is very difficult in this market. Don't forget that these countries don't just let anyone walk in without question. There are a lot of people from all areas of the world lining up to move in. You have to meet strict criteria and a point system to get in line.

So just because American's aren't arriving on foreign shores in droves doesn't mean some funny sh** isn't going on with our government. I find it very scary that there are secret meetings going on, and only for the 4th time ever! So I say - keep these posts coming. We sure aren't going to read about this in the mainstream media and we can make up our own minds or decide not to read this forum.

I was agreeing with you and expounding further, Dac. Sorry that wasn't clear.

As far as 'them' killing the cow, isn't that sometimes referred to as the Golden Goose Syndrome? You know... the farmer got impatient because the goose only laid one egg a day, so he killed it and cut it open because he wanted them all at once, which of course meant no more eggs at all.

It's also the same kind of behavior exhibited by cancer...

Ummm... and if there were a truly global conspiracy (such as a One World Government), emigration would serve what purpose, exactly?
