The signs are all there for increased conflict.

So, US banks won't fail, at least not the big ones, bc they are supported by my tax dollars. As for other banks? The Europeans are even being supported by US tax dollars and won't be allowed to fail in mass either. So, this idea of "too big to fail" is so anti-capitalistic that it will cause capitalism to fail as we know it, and most pundits agree with that. Now, all this free cash being handed out is a sign of the panic and hoarding. They loan out dollars for free to banks to keep them alive and they never lend it. This is unprecedented. Sign of the times.

Natural Gas - doesn't even make a dent in US transportation fuel consumption.

Further, the NG Civic, the only one you can buy in the US, cost $10k more than its non NG sister and gets less on a tank full than gasoline. So, the practicals that people would need to make a switch to NG just aren't there. Its as impractical as solar. NG isn't the savious of oil. It will not get the US off of its oil dependence. It will not make us energy independent.

And, the panic crash in the financial world ties nicely with the plateau in world oil production. It's a job well done. Rising Gold is also a sign of panic. I should have put that in the post too, just forgot. If you go back to 2000 and watch the rise of gold, it too shows panic, stress in the system. Now, back in 2005, I was nominated poster of the year for correctly predicting the peak and downfall in US housing. I also said the layman should buy silver and not put it in stocks, and buy BPT. All those were very nice calls. Nicely done Seahorse!

Post growth denial will ruin us... history demands it.
that is the problem. Control by the 1% depends on the false hope of 99% of getting the same slice of an expanding pie, the MO of liberal economic theory. But the pie is now shrinking as the oven goes out. When the pilot light extinguishes then the pie rots.

Yeah, and why should we care about your precious gold or silver, anyway? what was it exactly you planned to do with it? swim around in it like scrooge Mcduck?
