$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('kpeavey', 'T')here is a high degree of probability that I will in fact, indeed, verifiably and unequivocally pee my pants when the next chapter comes out.

The stuff he puts out is doomer porn AMBROSIA. It makes me curse like a well digger. Other parts of me itch for no reason. I think I lost consciousness for a while on #18. I've gutted my living room, nothing left but an alter, some candles, a couple of flowing curtains, the walls and ceiling are covered with newspaper clippings, chicken parts are littered about, I think there might be something wrong with me, but I can't be sure.

If I had the means I would offer a large reward to anyone who could offer undeniable, empirical, and duplicatable evidence to refute his offered theories and projections. I do not believe it can be done without resorting to new math. The video series does not just hit the nail on the head, he SLAMS it home. For now I'll offer a 20 pound sack of rice, and I'll pay the postage-overnight, to anyone who can meet the above criteria. This reward offer is valid unless and until the guy changes his work according to his own disclaimer. Still, he is holding back. Human population dieoff is a subject which needs to be addressed. If he can present that problem in as clear a manner as the 3 Es, he should be nominated for the Nobel in literature (tweak the rules). This is work on a grand scale.

Financial Sense Newshour with Jim Puplava. Audio should be up soon. Gerard Celente is among the "Other Voices," too. "Wezell have a rayvolution soon I tell yas!"

[lowem]

Yup, listening to it. Good interview.

I've yet to go and watch the crash course itself, will try to do it sometime soon.

If you want to make a DVD of this and have high speed internet, it's a snap to obtain: I just downloaded this in about an hour and a half. It's public domain so copyright issues aren't a problem. Here's the IsoHunt link: CRASH COURSE -NTSC.iso For those in Europe they have a PAL version as well. I use DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter to burn.

Great post! Watched the entire series back to back. I think the doomers may be right. The human population is showing signs of a bubble and the back side of the slope is going to be pretty horrific.

The one thing that got me the most is the example of Fenway Park and the "magic" drop of water. The drop started to multiply @ 12 noon and at 12:44 the floor was covered in only 5 feet of water, it only took another 5 minutes for the entire park to be filled up. Do you know what time it is?

If the concept that oil came from previous living matter that was once on the Earth's surface, then the dieoff will provide future generations of humans will oil, perhaps millions of years later, but the human race may buck the trend of a species living and thriving for only 100,000 to 4 million years.

But in light of the fact that the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are on a collision course, does any of this really matter?

Have some more fun clips you can make into DVDs:

[AirlinePilot]

TInfoil, pure and utter tinfoil.

I'll go with the typical human traits of greed and hubris. They do because they can.

I just love the popular perception of the elites as untouchable superintellects protected by impenetrable layers of law, secrecy and razor wire.

Parts of the myth are true, but their plan is "pure genius and running right on schedule" about like Clark Griswold on his way to Wally World.

all b.s. the market will correct itself when it comes to supplies, there is a lot of coal in the u.s.a. and if africa can turn it into liquid oil then so can we

A shortened (45 minute) version of the crash course is now available.

[Jenab]

I'll wait for the print version.

[Phildo]

Had read some of Chris's stuff before, and saw holes in it.

But catching the video, I see why folks get enamored by it.

Highly Polished. But a polished turd is still a turd.

Appears Chris could use some basic math course work along with Freshman Physics.

For starters -- Anyone catch the part about Oil Imports = 750 Nukes?

Anyone want to try to do THAT make-believe math?

[VMarcHart]

Well, Fido, you're new to the site and evidently with a chest full of good stuff to share. Why don't you tell us how many MWs of electricity-equivalent is in 13 million barrels of crude oil, everyday, that is.

We're all ears.

Cheers,

Marc.

[lonewolf]

Barrel of oil equivalent (boe) = approx. 6.1 GJ (5.8 million Btu), equivalent to 1,700 kWh.
(at 100% efficiency)

1,700 kWh/bbl x 13 x10^6 bpd (import?) to US
= 22,100,000,000,000 Whd
= 22,100 Gigawatt [hour[/day
= 22.1 Terawatt [hour]/day

HOWEVER!
FROM WIKI :The terawatt is equal to one trillion watts. The total power used by humans worldwide (about 16 TW in 2006) ..."

WTF? 16 TW[?]/yr? yeah right1
