Is There Enough Natural Gas?

Why would you go through all the trouble of doing all those calculations just to waste all that effort on one fatal assumption? That fatal assumption is the same one that has been repeated countless times: you assume it is possibly to linearly extract an entire reserve over time.

Peak Oil: China vs. USA

I'm not sure why you're so big on natural gas. You do realize that oil, natural gas, and coal are all peaking at the same time? This happens because of price arbitrage. So they all tend to move as one. At least with oil we get a lot more warning and predictability. With natural gas we can lose 10% of production in a year and not even see it coming.

Greenspan, Bailouts and Fed Policy

It sounds like the author is pretty close to accepting the dark truths. They took over the treasury in 1913. Caused a depression in 1929. Bought up all the gold in 1933 (for a mere pittance). They killed Kennedy when he got in their way. They staged the Gulf of Tonkin to drag us into a war whose ONLY purpose was to inflate the currency and get us to consume as much of our resources as quickly as possible. Then they created voodoo economics and used the television mind control devices to sell it to the people. This allowed us to enter a period of ostensible prosperity when in reality only the elites were really getting richer. And of course the orwellian mind control box constantly told us that all the deficit spending was completely normal and acceptable. And now, here we are. Up the creek, blindfolded, without a paddle…. And slowly realizing that the sound we’re hearing is the sound of an approaching waterfall.

I think any geopolitically awake person today would agree with what I just wrote.

But why did they do all of this? Here is my one-sentence answer: To get us to consume the world's resources, so that the elite feudal lords can return the serfs to their proper place.

Oil and coal and natural gas were the poor's ultimate weapons against tyranny. As long as we had some level of control over those resources, tyranny didnt have much of a chance to thrive. But just look at history. Any time resources begin to deplete, tyranny always comes in to fill in the gap. That's why the US spends a trillion a year on "defense". For the sole purpose of bringing to an end "the age of oil" so that they can resume their thrones of power. Democracy stands no chance of survival in an era of declining resources. The US resource base has been in decline for 35 years now. And that is why what we have doesnt resemble democracy anymore. People may think it does, but that doesnt mean anything. Most of those same people also think they're going to be raptured into heaven. Maybe they will, but that is irrelevant here on earth.

Oil, Iraq and U.S. Foreign Policy: A Way Forward

As long as Halliburton's profits are way up, you cant say that Bush Cheney have been a failure... at least to the ones they serve.
