I am not spoon fed. I read virtually everything including the conspiracy theories and I draw my own conlcusions and though I haven't gone over it in detail, the link that you posted, thus far, contains nothing new. I will spend some more time there, but it is old stuff really. I have already formed an opinion, the Authors 1st possibility. The government blew it from the ground floor to the top floor. He prefers his third possibility. I don't. As far as your scenario for the future of your country. If history repeats itself we will fall from power at some point in time, but sleep soundly because it will not happen in your lifetime.

It might not happen in my lifetime, TheKing, but consider this. Oil is a FINITE resource. Even the best estimates put remaining oil reserves at running out within 30 years. That will likely be in my lifetime, certainly in my children's lifetime. The current war is not about terror but about OIL. Even many mainstreamers admit that much. The US is gunning to monopolize remaining oil reserves. Russia and China know this as do many other industrialized nations. Once America gets a stranglehold on the reserves, possibly just before, these other countries, including some allies will have NO CHOICE but to fight us. They will be painted into a corner. They NEED the oil as much as we do.

Contrary to popular belief, oil is not just something we put in our vehicles. Oil is also your ability to eat. Farm machinery runs on oil and gas. Even if they found an alternative fuel source tomorrow, that would still not solve the need for oil because oil also LUBRICATES (adult webms understand that concept) the machinery of the world. You can't run a machine without oil even if you run it on electricity or some exotic fuel. And technology won't necessarily come up with an alternative anytime soon. The entire system is economically rigged. It's a catch-22. The oil and gas companies prevent any alternative technologies from emerging in their quests for greater profits. The only problem is that OUR ENTIRE SOCIETY is based on this FINITE resource. It's like a snake eating its own tail.

And no, we won't become extinct when the oil runs out. But the species Petroleum Man certainly will be extinct. And the transition decades from Petroleum Man to then next species will be as potentially hellish as the dark ages were several hundred years ago. This is not a paranoid delusion. This is common sense based on examining all the facts. But it does not have to end up that way. People need to wake up and smell the coffee!
