Posted: Tue May 27, 2008 2:40 pm Post subject: Hi From Blaine WA!!!!
I may seem like I'm coming to the party a little late, but I have been aware of Peak Oil for quite some time thanks to the scholarly work of Micheal Ruppert in his book, "Crossing the Rubicon". I have decided to post here because I am sure that I'm going to find at least a few like-minded folk here. I qualify what I say by noting that I am a very socially conservative, Evangelical Christian. Most of these kinds of forums are fairly unfriendly to conservatives and especially Christians. I have written my own blog...www.outofthepidgeon-hole.blogspot.com Most of the topics are centered around theology, and how Evangelicals are "required" to support errant concepts both in the secular, political arena and in theology. This is the case with Peak Oil. Most conservatives are sipping Jonestown koolaid with a Pollyanna view of the coming resource apocalypse.
I am curious what the range of concern here is. We are a lower middle class family. ( I have been unemployed for 9 months) We are renters. Many of the preparations needed to be made for what Kunstler called "the Long Emergency" are not easily made by folks that are just trying to get by. Especially if those folks are making contientious food choices; organics, etc. , which are significantly more expensive. We have purchased metal with the assurance that it will softland us when the paper tiger that is the stock market collapses from high food and oil prices. This will be in early to mid September by our best guess.
You see, we have been looking at Peak Oil as only one facet of a much larger problem, culturally and theologically. Of course, I won't trouble people with my eschatological premises. Those interested may Email me or check out my Blog. I will point out that we are preparing for a social armageddon of the magnitude of the fall of Rome. That initiated the Dark Ages. The world I envision will be overpopulated with undereducated, underprepared demographics that will begin to migrate to more hospital climates and find they are not welcome. At the same time, our Orwellian government will be initiating all of the well prepared executive orders that center around population management and control. This, of course, will include the infamous Rex84 program.
I chose to post now, after all these years, to share a trend that is unique to where I live, here on the border with Canada where the 2010 Winter Olympics will be. A steady increase in Homeland Security and military style aircraft have been grid flying Whatrcom County over the last year. Most recently by C-130s with listening appartus as well as Homeland Security Blackhawk helicopters. Like birthpains drawing closer together, the government has a clear idea of when the House of Cards is going to collapse. I would be interested in hearing the groups opinion. God Bless us all.

I'd say take no action - the big Guy's got your back. _________________ Massive Human Dieoff must occur as a result of Peak Oil. Many more than half will die. It will occur everywhere, including where you live. If you fail to recognize this, then your odds of living move toward the "going to die" group.

Your not late for the party, in fact it has not even begun yet. Just make sure you have enough tabacco on hand to calm yourself down once it really starts...

Welcome. Check out the thread Christian Pespectives on Peak Oil in the Psychology forum. There are other Christians there if the coyotes start knawing at your heel bone.
God bless you. It takes faith and courage to see the truth. Peak Oil, even if it is not the end times (which I believe it is) is certain to change the way Americans live forever.

Michael Ruppert ? Michael Ruppert is a paranoid delusional, you may want to rethink your choice of mentors.
1Ti 6:3-8 If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, (4) he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, (5) and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain. (6) Now there is great gain in godliness with contentment, (7) for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. (8. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.

Mr. Always do you want to state by quoting from the monkey book that if only God Master would be in charge then everything would be sound? If only?
Correct, God Master is in charge but let me ask you this:
Who exactly did wash YOUR brains?
Martin Luther, the splitter of the original church would be turning around in the washing machine just to see the damage he did with all the best intention.
Could you and your fellow pseudo-religious posters please stop quoting the book that has been run through the washing machine now since 2000 years?!
Time for a new set of cloths. Grow up and develop your own mind!
Get rid of your religions skid-marks, you are not welcome here unless you wash your mental underwear at least once.
