MUST SEE - Peak Oil - Part 4

[@jimbills]

During one of the only, if only, speeches about peak oil in Congress, with virtually no one in attendance, the speaker is interrupted for procedure of a bill (HR 1540) detailing the expenditures for the military in 2012. Seriously, you can't make this stuff up.

At the moment we are like somebody who has just thrown themselves off a building. We are half way down to the ground and thinking "So far so good".

that was a popular lecture. i think there was about 3 people in the room, including mr bartlett. its sad because that was an incredibly lucid examination of our predicament. the fact virtually nobody else in office understands, or more likely is in outright denial, means we are truly fucked

Journal Nature has some articles disputing this: Do a google search..."abiotic oil" + "journal nature"

you realize the price movement of industrial metals depend on industrial productivity which, obviously, depends on OIL? and "precious" metals like gold and silver have always been monetary metals which is why people buy them. they recognize fiat currencies of the world is headed for a catastrophe. if fiat currencies collapse, industrial production will collapse. then industrial metals prices will also collapse. if so, gold and silver, as long as private ownership is allowed, will skyrocket.

less than 400 people (so far) are actually interested in the future of human kind, including me (unfortunately not including the government representatives). Call me a pesimist but i dont think its gonna be enough to make it. Dark ages here we comes! PS: watch the film "Collapse" thats a brutal wake up call for anybody who think this is some kind of joke..

the view of the galley is prophetic, completely empty, no one is listing, I have lost all hope, Glenn Beck keeps telling people to buy presses metals like gold, I have invested in other metals like lead, brass, and powder, he can sit on that gold.

No one is even there to hear him speaking, how ridiculous is that....
