Our children may inherit from us a unique future - The Stone Age on steroids.

The US is on the edge of collapse, being the most exposed to energy supply
deficit. When the US collapses, global markets will shake. The rest of
industrial civilization will eventually downscale, de-globalize, and become a
lot less automated.

We can expect a period of calm between the US collapse and crunch time for the
rest of the world due to the sudden drop in demand immediately after the US
collapse. If we are smart, this period will not be wasted as we wasted our time
during the previous warning given by the 1973 oil shocks.

Primary trends well underway are leading us towards a collapsed US dollar and
eventually a re-monetized currency, probably just another legal tender note
debased of any real value but made legal by fiat (decree).

A cascading collapse throughout local and global markets can be expected over
the coming years as industries dependent on oil and natural gas (all of them),
start buckling under the weight of what seems like ever spiraling costs.
Actually, high costs will reflect a deficit in actual deliverable goods and
labor, all made possible and transported by petroleum and petroleum-derived
capital equipment.

Our sacred American dream may be one of the first victims to fall. The on-grid
housing market is wholly dependent upon and totally valueless without a constant
flow of energy intensive processes which will forever be increasingly costly as
brown outs turn to blackouts and then finally, the grid crashes forever. Many
communities and individuals will fumble with alternative energy ideas only to
discover that every alternative in existence is dependent upon petroleum for the
mining and manufacture and servicing of such complex capital equipment.

The real problem to face us will be when our whole system of industrial
agriculture on which the whole world has been weaned and grown ceases to
function without cheap and abundant oil and gas for all of the processes and
inputs and maintenance required to keep food streaming towards us. Virtually
every one of our ancestors before oil were directly involved with agriculture
going back forever. That is a primary trend to watch and to believe and to
prepare for.

Everything that we have, eat and do depends primarily upon cheap and abundant
petroleum. As inputs go into deficit, outputs will follow.

Every commercial activity and almost everything we in the west do for leisure
will be subject to radical change soon, as demands for cheap and abundant
petroleum continue to rise even as supplies trend towards insignificance.

We will begin feeling the effects in the form of doubling and re-doubling of oil
and gas prices and in the prices of everything that is made and done with oil
and natural gas, which, again, is everything. Finally, we will suffer physical
deficits and clumsy government intervention with ration cards, curfews and
"camps".

Current trends foretell of widespread resource wars, police state autocracies
and global industrial monopolies will become a central feature in the era of
deficit. Eventually, these grand chessboards will also collapse as the means to
operate such machinery is no longer available.

Mike Ruppert recently hit the center of the spittoon with his latest article:
"FIVE RULES FOR SURVIVAL OF THE COMING COLLAPSE".

"...it is foolish to believe that any governmental preparation for Peak Oil will
be publicly labeled as such. Most preparations, so as to avoid panic and/or
political risk, have been carefully concealed in other documents and legislation
such as the PATRIOT Act and the Homeland Security Act. In my earlier
presentation and throughout the day today, it should be growing clear to you
that official preparations for Peak Oil have been underway for some time. And ?
as I document in ?Rubicon? ? they include the attacks of September 11th, 2001
and all US government foreign policy initiatives since then."

Sadly, not everyone is as clued in as Mike Ruppert. And some of the deceived
represent the very cutting edge of conspiratorial study today.

For example, Alex Jones says "Peak Oil is a Corrupt Globalist Scam" and "Russia
is ready for unlimited future production of oil".

Alex Jones' article even goes so far as to put Peak Oil in quotes and generalize
preposterous things, such as: ["Peak oil" is pure military-industrial-complex
propaganda].

How and why would alternative media collude with top-level scientists and former
energy insiders who have independently come together representing themselves as
individuals, most having nothing to gain by ?inventing? Peak Oil.

And why is it necessary to invent a natural phenomenon like depletion of a
finite resource?

And why would big government supply us with an artificially bright outlook on
energy, using every trick under the sun to keep the markets calm at every
opportunity. If they were instigating Peak Oil against us, wouldn?t they want to
give such a conjured artificial deficit some credibility?

Globalists invent Peak Oil? In reality, Peak Oil is what drives global powers
into their furiously paced resource wars and power entrenchment efforts that
threaten us regular folks with so much increasing tribulation today.

Yes, the global powers are deceiving us, but they are deceiving us in hopes that
we DON?T believe in Peak Oil until it is too late, which it is anyway, at least
for most of the world. The time to "get it" was 1973, or earlier, when we had a
fighting chance at sustainability. We are overshot by over 2, maybe 3 times the
natural solar carrying capacity of the earth now and even being AT carrying
capacity might not be such a good idea either if we were to live in abundant bio
diversity and natural surroundings. What we have failed to do voluntarily will
be done to us by force, with a vengeance, whether by natural (food) or
instigated (war) causes.

Alex said recently: "There is no such thing as a free lunch" when attacking the
basis for this article - Wi-Fi a basic human right, says SF Mayor.

As is the case so often, he was right. There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Free Wi-Fi is just another orchestrated con in a long series of events meant to
move people increasinly into a tracking grid for centralized control. Likewise,
abiotic oil is just an idiotic distraction to the reality of Peak Oil.

Earth to Alex - Abiotic Oil Is A Fraud!

Moon to Alex - When you use up a limited resource, you eventually find
decreasing supplies and higher prices!

Pluto to Alex - Are the globalists responsible for holding us down on earth with
excessive gravitational force as well?

England ran successively out of trees and then coal and now oil. Where is the
confustion in that? And if a country can do it, doesn?t it make sense that a
world can do it? Should each country point their fingers outward at each other
country and say ?There is plenty of oil over there.??

Take for example a pizza. If you eat it, you don't have it anymore. Look at the
number of species becoming extinct due to land clearing. Non-renewable resources
are a fact of the universe Alex. Geez Wiz! Why is a little guy like me educating
you on basic principles of life, basic laws of thermodynamics and physics. Even
you said it: "no free lunch".

There will always be a barrel of oil around somewhere, but there will not always
be an ever expanding level of production of that oil. Hence, there will not
always be cheap and abundant oil for our ever-growing oil-dependent world.

We are dependent upon 2005 levels of production right now at peak. As we trend
down the bell curve towards previous levels of production world-wide, we will
experience for the first time in the history of humankind a gap between total
energy demanded and total available supplies.

It had to happen sometime. A quick glance at our population growth rates since
industrial agriculture makes sense of the timing.

The right side of the bell curve will be painful for us. Preparations are
woefully overdue, in part because people have always been telling us not to
worry about the bell curve whilst we were on the left side looking up. The
?stable growth? economists have forgotten that spaceship earth is a closed
system, a human petri dish. Nature has ways of correcting ?stable growth? that
has gone too far.

Now that we have peaked, a relatively significant number of independent and
diverse people who make sense of the Peak Oil reality are beginning to affect a
begrudged awakening within media and politics. Paradoxically, a leading
conspiracy analyst gets it all wrong and suggests that Peak Oil is ?pure
military-industrial-complex propaganda?.

People who base their views on erroneous foundations might have an appealing
structure, but it the house is built upon sand, what kind of a structure is it?

While awakening family members I have actually been asked if I thought that I
had a difficult childhood, among many other things. Ha, difficulty hasn't even
started for our generation nor any generation previous compared with what is
coming.

But nobody dares to consider the possibility that we are over-extended. The
foregone conclusion among so many of us is that life will go on as it has
?always? gone on. I put ?always? in quotes because that word in the Peak Oil
context usually translates to ?during my lifetime?.

Many in Alex Jones? age group and social upbringing have ?always? seen
sustainable growth of people, materials, choices for food, diversity at the
workplace. Anything that challenges that assumption is seen as a conspiracy to
take away what ?always? has been.

But we weren?t always free from the callous hands of a plow or a blacksmiths
hammer. And we won?t always have a finite resource representing millions of
years of stored solar energy to burn in a society that will utterly collapse
without it.

Peak Oil will be the biggest tragedy in written history. And it will happen to a
generation that got all worked up about YK2, which is basically a fear of being
without a computer for a couple of weeks.

Peak Oil will first devastate that country that uses 25% of the world?s natural
resources while having just 5% of the world?s population. And still the majority
of Americans believe that such a trend can be ?stable and growing?.

The US is right now in Iraq setting up permanent military bases around the
largest undeveloped patch of oil in the world today, and they are expanding
massive amounts of finite oil and gas to do so. All this effort expended to keep
things ?stable and growing? for a little while longer.

The irony doesn?t stop there. We Americans are right now today engaged in the
biggest crime against humanity ever recorded. So far, we have sprayed up to
3,000 tons of radioactive ?depleted uranium? particles all over Iraq. Used in
weapons shells, uranium bursts into clouds of dust upon impact and ends up in
the Iraqi food and water supply. Cancer, miscarriages, unexplained illnesses and
deaths directly related to this ultra toxic substance are increasingly reported
by Iraqis and US service people in that unwinnable and wrong-headed war. So far,
NGO?s and independent journalists calculate hundreds of thousands of innocent
women and children and elderly have died as ?collateral damage? in Gulf War II.
How many more will die is difficult to calculate. Depleted uranium has a
half-life of 4.5 billion years, which is effectively ?forever?.

We are in the Iron(ic) Age. And the joke is on us. We have nobody to blame if we
can't see the truth and change our ways. Sadly, by every indication, most of our
generation won't and wouldn't even if they knew they must.

This reminds me of a story that I read from the Mogambo Guru in his article:
"Wake up or be eaten alive by inflation!"
