Scary, yes, but not for the reasons you think they are.

Nobody is in charge. Nobody is controlling anything. There are no Illuminati. The course of events is not being directed by anybody.

It's all random. That's the scariest scenario of all, isn't it? That's what conspiracy theorists can't handle. That's what they're really afraid of.

OUT OF CONTROL!

Zardoz,

You've always got your eyes wide shut. You're so cute

Maybe he's right. Scary, huh.

I agree with JoelTrout. The story today is not about Peak Oil, it's about a perilously weak US economy. If the US dollar was at 2001 values today, oil would be only about $100/b (you can check the numbers on that).

I still say the actual Peak will hit sometime around 2010 to 2012, perhaps later now due to the impending recession, which will be severe and prolonged, according to Warren Buffett. This will dampen demand.

People act like $80 oil would solve EVERYTHING.

AFAIK, the interstates, roads, buildings and [most of the] consumer junk we're so fond of were all manufactured using sub-$20 oil. Cheap credit has allowed us to think we're "resilient" in the face of high oil. History will see to it that this was not the case.

Running on fumes.

Hardly. The way they deal with PO is to stage a false flag op, attack and then control oil producing countries. Quite simple, actually.

I share this view. Everything I've seen and learned support it. It's beyond human capabilities to understand today's world.

Yes, there is a lot of secret manipulation by various powerful actors which have physical consequences, but the consequences are mainly unintentional. They don't understand the world they are manipulating.

People involved in money and banking centers are monitoring a set of metrics they don't announce, but they are mostly reacting according to rules-of-thumb which has evolved during hundreds of years, and they change the rules all the time to save the system. The only predictable net result of all this is just boring inflation, and hardly mastery of the world.

Maybe, but the degree of success can easily be assessed by monitoring the oil price...

Those in energy stocks are quite happy. (everyone in Bush's rolodex, for instance)

I do believe the central bankers worst fear is PO. When Amshel Rothschild set his plan into action ( control the money of the worlds governments ), PO was not even heard of, heck oil wasn't even discovered yet. But I guarentee that they are PO aware, considering the Rockefellers are in it with them.

Amschel had 5 sons, 4 of whom he sent to the major cities of four different major powers of Europe, to establish or gain control over the major central bank of each country. Solomon went to Vienna, Austria; Nathan to London, England; Carl to Naples, Italy; James to Paris, France; while Meyer (and Amschel) stayed in Frankfurt, Germany. In addition to these major countries of Germany, Austria, England, Italy and France, the Rothschilds did extensive banking for the governments of Belgium, Spain, Brazil, and many other countries. This was all part of Amschel's plan to gain control over vast wealth and power.

Thomas Jefferson issued this warning in 1791: "If the American people ever allow the banks to control issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their forefathers conquered."

Rothschild said, "Let me issue and control a nation’s money and I care not who writes its laws",

^^^^Im in this camp.



But in more news



link Looks like they moved the goal posts....

Yea, sure, banking is a racket, but if coal and oil had not been around the scheme had crashed after 20-30 years. They might have been able to restart it a couple of times, but people would have understood the wickedness already in the 1800's and rolled them in tar and feathers. Coal and then oil made growth possible, and honestly, it was not only the bankers who enjoyed the ride - most people partied on quite happily.

Oh, they are happy in about the same way a freezing person is happy the first seconds after p*ssing in his pants...

I'm pretty sure anyone with an oil tanker named after them isn't worried about dying of hypothermia.



the rest of us, OTOH...
