I've just watched Alex Jones' "Martial Law 911". When I first started watching it I thought it was going to be the usual bs but I was actually overwhelmed.
I had previously thought that peak oil was an ignored issue that is going to shock western economies into chaotic recession and depression, but today I began to think if there may not be other possibilities.
I now think there are five possibilities. 'They' represents the controllers of global wealth and energy supplies. I have indicated whether these possibilities will lead to general chaos, a maintenance of the current global system of order, or a move to a 'new order' - a new system of functional governance, for better or worse.
1) 'They aren't worried because PO isnt a problem'
The Global governments are well clued up on the energy supply situation and are inactive because PO is either a long way off or will not cause the chaos suggested by proponents of the theory.
[PO wrong, no conspiracy, ORDER MAINTAINED]
2) 'They didn't know'
Peak oil is upon us, and is an issue that has been barely addressed by the global governments/media due to ignorance and short-sightedness to the point where it is too late to act and we will see economic recession and depression with its infinate chaotic possibilities.
[PO correct, no conspiracy, CHAOS]
3) 'They know and are quietly worried'
Peak oil is upon us, and has been known about for a long time by those 'in the know'. Coverage has been intentionally or incidentally suppressed as governments have little idea what to do about it, and have been silent due to indecision and a fear of creating panic.
[PO correct, conspiracy of silence but not action, CHAOS]
4) 'They know and are quietly confident'
Peak oil is upon us, has been known about for a long time by those 'in the know' and coverage has been intentionally suppressed as governments have a plan to use the situation to their advantage in the great game, one which would be more difficult if the general public were informed. Alternatively , they may have energy technologies which they have kept schtum about to make more money for crony fossil fuel companies and will release this tech when necessary.
[PO correct, conspiracy of silence and action, NEW ORDER]
5) The 'Grand Illusion' Theory
Peak oil is an intentionally created myth by the global elite to justify actions which would otherwise be impossible. (War, martial law etc.) This myth was possible to create because of the secretive nature of oil reserves.
[PO wrong, total conspiracy, NEW ORDER]
Obviously, 2/3 may not be complete chaos as we may find ways of coping, but it will be an organic, therefore chaotic process. Similarly, 4/5 may not create a new order, as the best plans can fail. The chaos/order really reflects government intention (or absence of it!)
If some of these are not possibilities, or you believe there are more, or perhaps I have duplicated some, feel free to add/flame!
