Think of humanity as a herd of caribou living on an arctic island with no predators and abundant sustenance. We reproduce wildly until inevitably the sustenance, the energy source, is overtaxed and collapses.
Then we begin to die. In the case of humanity, billions of us.
The analogy and the dark prophecy are Mike Ruppert’s. And he argues it already has begun, this great dying, and there is nothing we can do to stop it.
For the resource that has sustained human civilization for the past hundred or so years, which underpinned the quadrupling of global population and on which our whole industrial civilization is built, is in accelerating and irreversible decline. That resource is fossil fuel, and in particular, oil. …

I understood people pimping this guy back when he said peak oil occurred in 2000. But really, pretending there is any credibility left, on any topic, is just ludicrous.Look at this quote from the article... "New data is showing an accelerating decline in oil production, faster than I said in the movie."
Really? Lets compare this to a basic, available at PO.com graph recently discussed. His movie came out in the fall. Notice how things have been accelerating in decline since then (known to those with eyes as increasing)...
and what other tidbits might be in here? For example, the author says he is resigned to his role as a Cassandra? Is he KIDDING? A greek god of prophecy? How about this one?
MCR from October 28, 2008. "In the meantime the auto industry is shaking out. Kerkorian is liquidating Ford stock and GM and Chrsyler look certain to merge. That means that Ford must go down, and I suspect it will be very hard."
The guy can't even figure out which companies won't be going bankrupt a few months before all the others do...but the one he picks? Keeps on trucking, and doing better than ever.

Greek god of prophecy, give me a break. Can't we find some NEW people making crazy predictions rather than just the same old nutjobs?

Actually Cassandra was a girl (not a god) and she wasn't Greek - she was Trojan.
She did have a knack for prophecy - though no one would believe her.
