1. Peak oil believers, gold bugs, and survivalists are a bad combination

6. They are alarmists
The Hedges article is real, but its used to reinforce their beliefs that the "end is near".

I read those kinds of sites to see all viewpoints, but I dont let them cause undue alarm.

15. We lived too much beyond our means.
Spread our own resources too far. Not the first time this has happened unfortunately. I feel bad for those who will certainly pay the consequences with us but never had a chance to come to the proceeding party. x(

7. It would be the "End of Suburbia," for one . . .
Peak Oil/Peak Gas ---

Mass transportation -- trolleys to town RR stations --

to where?

Humans long existed without cars and without guns and without TVs --

AND WITHOUT CAPITALISM . . . !!!

Our problems are with the elites, with the capitalists, with the greedy who have

created these economic conditions and a military which may still support capitalists?

9. Looks good to me...
kind of like Mike Ruppert's site, which I learned a lot from. Some might find the dire predictions as people being alarmists, but what isn't alarming about these times? Understanding the oil wars, went a long way in my understanding of why the American empire will either control the middle-east or go bust trying.

11. Cool documents..thanks!
I was way late to the party...this stuff didn't come on my radar screen until I read Mike Ruppert's book "Crossing the Rubicon".

13. I would not listen to them if they are claiming that oil peak is a part
of the religious end of the world. However, if they are merely saying that it is the end of a way of life - well we will see.
