Peak Oil and Other Plans

Quote of the Day:

Presently we pass to some other object which rounds itself into a whole as did the first; for example, a well-laid garden; and nothing seems worth doing but the laying-out of gardens.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~

Well, it looks like the Powers That Be are gearing up for another Big Lie to divert the attention of the average US citizen towards another nationalistic frenzy to protect the American Way of Life. The Peak Oil agenda has made it to mainstream media time.

The idea of oil becoming scarce to nonexistent is not new. Schools have taught that oil is a nonrenewable fossil fuel formed by decaying dinosaurs and the environment they lived in. At least this is what I remember and the US Department of Energy corroborates the notion.

There is a lot of discussion on the internet concerning Peak Oil. An article I referenced a while back had some very good information. The Peak Oil debate may lead to another sort of agenda which, perhaps, Mr. Rupert has let out of the bag.

In Exposing the Bog Con, Joe Quinn mentions Rupert's suggestions on how to return to a balanced state of living:

By his own admission, the following are Mike’s core beliefs about what needs to be done:

Instead of advocating war I oppose it. Anyone who has attended any of my more than 35 lectures in eight countries (more than 15,000 live audience members) will know, of a certainty, that my position on solutions is absolutely clear. I advocate an immediate cessation of all military conquest and imperialism by the US government and industrialized powers; an end to the war on terror.

I advocate an immediate convening of political, economic, spiritual and scientific leaders from all nations to address the issue of Peak Oil (and Gas) and its immediate implications for economic collapse, massive famine and climate destruction (partially as a result of reversion to coal plants which accelerate global warming). This would, scientifically speaking, include immediate steps to arrive at a crash program – agreed to by all nations and in accordance with the highest spiritual and ethical principles – to stop global population growth and to arrive at the best possible and most ethical program of population reduction as a painful choice made by all of humanity.

Quinn then states:
"I hope that the sharp and sudden increase in heart rate and blood pressure that the words "population reduction" must surely have caused in readers was not too much to handle, and that we can continue and rationally consider the practicality of just what is being suggested by Mike."

A sharp reduction in the population? An ethical, perhaps voluntary, sacrifice to save the world? Well, golly, I wonder who will be the first to sign up?

Actually, this may not be too far from the Truth. Consider the trumpeting of dire news surrounding the Bird Flu virus. The World Health Organization states the Bird Flu virus could mutate into a virus which could kill more people than the Spanish Flu of 1918 which left 20 million dead. The CDC is proclaiming the same and rushing to find a vaccine to administer to it's citizens.

There is, however, information that is either hidden from view or forgotten. A search reveals articles on bioengineering of viruses being done in US labs including a reconstruction of the lethal Spanish flu by US Army scientists.
