Roscoe Bartlett Meets Bush on Peak Oil
By Michael C. Ruppert

July 1, 2005 0800 PST (FTW) — Well, this is a real head scratcher. A story pops up today saying that Congressman Roscoe Bartlett of Maryland just had a private one-on-one with George W. about Peak Oil. I spent just over an hour with Mr. Bartlett in his office in Washington two weeks ago. I was there for a family reunion after the death of my father. (Three generations of my father’s family have lived in D.C. since coming from Germany. Three – including me – were born there. Irony: my father flew in B17s bombing Germany during WWII.)

Bartlett seemed incredibly well versed on the subject of Peak Oil and Gas – aware; and he also sang the praises of many people well known to us at FTW like Richard Heinberg, Julian Darley, Dale Allen Pfeiffer and Matt Savinar. None of us are conservative Republicans to say the very least and I’d pay good money to see Roscoe Bartlett sit down with Stan Goff or Jamey Hecht for an hour. But that’s only part way through the looking glass. It got deeper. More irony.
