Matthew Simmons is also projecting oil to shoot up to $250 a barrel, and that daily global oil production might drop to 65 million barrels per day by 2012, when the world currently already consumes 85 million barrels per day… Of course, allot of what we know about how much oil exists, and can continue to be pumped out, is pretty flimsy; even the G7 supposedly admits they have no idea how much oil is left.

If it’s true that the housing bubble has been what has driven about 90% of the US GDP growth between 2001 & 2005 & this “bubble” is soon to burst due to people’s increased awareness of dependance on dwindling fossil fuels & their price increases coupled with large houses becoming more costlier to heat, then we’re probably in some deep dark times; if that wasn’t already established already, lol.

Also given this soon to be released report by Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz & Harvard budget expert Linda Bilmes, estimating the cost of the Iraq War at between $1-2 trillion; far higher than earlier estimates of $100-200 billion…

Michael Ruppert also has a fairly new video out called Denial Stops Here, a fairly sobering hodge-podge of clips from some of his more recent talks; was quite disturbing to watch, almost as bad as The End of Suburbia.

Though, with all of this, another layer of problems coming with global climate change… What was it, Europe might be plunging into a mini-ice age, and no one gives a flying f*ck because anyone can walk out to any highway or major road and see a constant stream of cars, trucks, suv’s, tractor trailers, campers, the works.

I’d hate to say this, but there is some point when one is inclined to say that we should just get what we deserve for our collective footprint in its entirety of disgust…. sweatshop slave labour, factory farming, animal cruelty, confined spaces, Revlar H, steroids, growth hormons, toxic carcinogenic substances, water flouridation rat poison, potent dioxin-drenched waste from every city coming from multiple sources, monocropped unsustainability

…nobody giving a damn about investing in sustainable developments/improvements because they don’t know how bad it’s going to get, or believe there to be a comfort zone in the flow of the economy, frothing lobyists on capital hill coercing white slavery, idiocy of martial law, bicycle confiscations at critical masses, even taking chainsaws to break the locks; we’re f*cked up, lol. Everyone should be sickened to the core of their being… instead we get …consumer-hypnosis, media-whitewashes, nascar fananza, super bowl sunday, spectatorism, mindlessness, complete disregard….

My only hope is that this NSA/FBI/CIA/TIA/Pentagon/BS spying programs on American citizens will give way to impeachment of Bush, and hopefully a whole house of cards comes crashing the hell down with increased awareness of impeachable offenses existing all throughout the halls of power. But how long have we all been holding our breath for that wish, lol.

I’m sure just by saying this I’ve been added to some list somewhere, if not already, and could very well be spied upon. Cuz you know, a jobless poor activist in 5/6 environmental/peace/justice groups could be a dangerous al’qaida infiltrator… Either that, or a potential kamikaze that could risk life to carry out a task based on such insidious values like morality, lol. In the words of Bill Maher, “I don’t get what conservatives or rich people, whoever it is that’s agnostic about the environment; I don’t get what they don’t get about… your going to die too.”
