Found a youtube link that appears to be the whole program:

It's posted by a Ron Paul supporter.. I have no idea why he has a "propaganda" warning pasted on the video.

Same reason Earth 2100 on Youtube has an Alex Jones bumper on it. It's consider "evidence" of the endgame genocidal plan to convince us that there is a collapse ahead when in reality it's just a global false-flag to bring in the NWO.

Depends on what you mean by "mainstream". How many people saw Earth 2100? That was prime time ABC doomer porn. Came and went with a whimper. Ruppert's Collapse got a glowing review from Roger Ebert. People's attention spans are so short that they'll freak out one moment and go back to sleep the next.

I have often thought the same thing Mos. It's really kind of pathetic. One day they see "An Inconvenient Truth", they discuss how disturbing the movie was over dinner, and then it is practically never spoken of again. Back to Real Housewives of NY (or whatever it's called).

What did you think of Earth 2100? I thought it was extremely an extremely optimistic outlook of things to come. If we follow that trajectory, I won't complain.

I agree. The problem was the slow linear progression of climate change...just not realistic.

I did love how the government announced on prime time that they were going to use chemtrails to slow the effects of global warming. LIKE THAT WOULD HAPPEN!! LOL

They know their redneck end-timer wingnut demographic isn't into it, I guess.

Last night History Channel had an entire hour of guys with twangy accents hunting wild hogs.

Finally caught the rerun of this on the History channel with my DVR yesterday. I agree the AI guy is way too optimistic, for one thing Moore's law has hit the top of the sigmoid curve and slowed down to barely moving. For another as someone up thread said kill switches and decentralization will exist for the foreseeable future. For a third thing I think a household robot would be considerably pricier than an iPhone and I can't see them getting discarded like yesterdays trash every year because a newer model has been rolled out.

I think the Terrorism and Financial concerns are really serious issues but I think Peak Oil continues to dominate the doomscape. Water is mostly an issue of waste, we use far more than we should for trivial things like keeping the lawn green in the desert and rinsing the dust off our SUVs.

Some people make a living being stock market bears, and 90% of the time they are getting creamed in the stock market. Follow their advice for 5 years and you'll be bankrupt. They just keep reeling fresh suckers.
