FTW / Ruppert: Peak Oil Revisited – The Bill Collector Calls
Big oil isn’t drilling more because they know there are no more large finds out there to drill in. More drilling doesn’t mean more supply. It means more holes in the ground. . . .

That is why I have taken such pains over the years to document how the world’s economic system is hopelessly corrupt and absolutely incapable of telling the truth. Yet, even still so, there are signs that the thin veneer between outward confidence and fear; between a half-truth which is really a lie and a whole truth which can lead to real solutions; is fast approaching, dissolving. Until that Rubicon is crossed the deception and denial are overcome, there will be no real solution other than continued war, bloodshed and destructive behavior which is blocking us from more peaceful, longer-term and more humane solutions.

George Bush and Dick Cheney may have meant it when they said that the American way of life is not negotiable. But it most certainly is on life-support and being sustained by cruelty, brute force and lies.

The markets just can’t hide it anymore.

1. More:
In his presentation, (Ali) Bakhtiari (Vice President of the National Iranian oil Company (NIOC)) told the conference, "The crisis is very, very near.  World War III has started.  It has already affected every single citizen of the Middle East.  Soon it will spill over to affect every single citizen of the world. Syria’s oil production is in terminal decline. Yemen is following.  Major Middle East producers, including Saudi Arabia, will peak soon or have already peaked."

Off the stage he was even more direct, “The present war cannot be confined to the Middle East. It will soon spill over to the rest of the world. The final implications will upset the global applecart.”

2. And the band played on...
I guess no one else sees (or wants to see) what's really going on below the radar. It turns out that the Bush-Cheney regime may ultimately be just the tip of the iceberg. A symptom of a much larger, now imminent catastrophe. And we're all treated to front row seats.

Yes, I think we are in for some RUDE awakenings in the very near future. 9/11 was only the beginning.
