I had several people at my job tell me that I need to watch this new documentary called ‘Collapse’; it is this guy talking about how we are running out of oil. I personally do not believe in the ‘peak oil’ theory, but since the guys that asked me to watch it have watched several of the documentaries I have given them, and were very excited about ‘Collapse’ I decided to watch it. I immediately recognized the main speaker of the documentary – Michael Ruppert – a former member of the LAPD that had done good work to expose the CIA for shipping drugs into the US. He was featured in the documentary, American Drug War which was a tepid film exposing the lie and cost that is the War on Drugs. So I was ready to get a fresh look on the global conspiracy from Mr. Ruppert… Unfortunately about half way through the movie I was questioning this guys motives, and by the end I was sure he was a globalist mouthpiece. Looking at his past credibility and where he has now wound up, I am sure he has been compromised or bought off.

The Dirty Lying Main Stream Media

He states you can not trust the main stream media because they perpetuate government lies and don’t talk about the truth. I agree with this statement, but the “truth” he talks about; peak oil is the root of all evil in the world, and the main stream media will not talk about it. Well I guess he thinks you are stupid and don’t read the news – when I’m listening to NPR (New-World-Order Propaganda Radio), or reading any other main stream media almost all they talk about is how we are running out of oil. Lets see what we can find…

This is a CBS article labeled ‘Peak Oil Watch’ – and it states:

Note that this is now apparently conventional wisdom: the only spare oil production capacity left in the world is in OPEC. The non-OPEC peak isn’t five years off, or ten years off. It’s now.

This flimsy one paragraph article pretty much sums up the whole documentary with out the crying.

A 2008 NPR article concurs “‘Peak Oil Theory’ Demands Energy Alternatives”

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=98203926

It’s not just a left wing thing, the “conservative right” Fox news in 2006 posted ‘Experts: Global Oil Production May Peak Soon’ that states we need to act now to prevent peak oil

The BBC is  really covering up the Peak Oil Conspiracy, er wait they have hundreds of articles:
2005: “‘Peak oil’ enters mainstream debate” states

It is also very unusual to find a government report using the wording ‘peak oil’. This is a phrase often used to describe the theory of a global oil production plateau, after which production would begin to decline.

So the government thinks ‘peak oil’ is real too?

2004: “Is the world’s oil running out fast?” says:

People like Ali Bakhtiari, head of strategic planning at Iran’s National Oil Company (NOIC), Dr Colin Campbell, a former executive vice president of Total-Fina, and Matthew Simmons, an energy investment banker and adviser to the controversial Bush-Cheney energy plan.
They are united by one idea, that global oil production is about to peak, which in turn will signal the permanent end of cheap oil.

Wow Bush-Cheney administration had Matthew Simmons as head of their energy plan. Someone that in the above NPR article they call “peak oil’s foremost prophet”.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/3777413.stm

I challenge anyone to goto the Google search page and type in “peak oil site:insert_news_site_here.com” and find a main stream news agency that is anti-peak oil. You will fail because that truly is a “Conspiracy Theory”.

Hiding From The Bush-Cheney Administration

Ruppert claims that he was forced to take a hiatus until Bush was out of office, but he would not go into the details of the matter, which from my stand point, if it was true would have made a better documentary. Don’t forget as stated above the Bush-Cheney administration had Simmons who NPR called “Peak Oil’s Foremost Prophet”. But he had to hide from Bush because of his views on peak oil (as hinted at in the film)? I don’t buy it.  On a side note Simmons started mouthing off truths about the gulf oil spill like how there is more than one leak, and guess what…? he was found dead from a heart attack.
Matt Simmons Dead — Oil Man Who Predicted the End of Oil:

Recently, Matt was outspoken on the BP oil disaster. He pointed to the strong possibility of several leaks, not just the one BP showed in the videos.

No Debating, We’re Right

Ruppert takes a que from the global warming “experts” and claims that he does not debate anymore, and that “we” are right.  This he claims is because he predicted the global economic depression we are currently in – even though he admits his predictions were a year off – when others were not.

Who is this “we” that he is talking about? I know of a few top economists that predicted the depressions, and some were even right on the money of when it would happen. Gerald Celente – of trends research, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts the father of Reganomics, congressman Ron Paul, Bob Chapman of the International Forecaster, former wall street insider Max Keiser, commentator Peter Schiff, historian Webster Tarplay. Builderburg expert Daniel Estulin, and on and on and on. Do any of them give peak oil credit for the global depression? No! (To be clear Max Keiser and Danial Estulin do believe in peak-oil, but they do not say it caused the economic crash).

How do they all state this depression came about? The Federal Reserve making extremely low interest rates – which gave banks the green light to give anyone and their dog a home loan. Then the banks (which own the Federal Reserve by the way) made derivatives of those loans, and packaged and resold the home loans as triple A rated investment instruments. The banks continued to leverage these “investment instruments” over and over as if it they were assets. Then some how they got big insurance companies to insure it. Now the derivative hole is hundreds of trillions of dollars which is more money than there is tangible assets on the entire planet. Since the US is where most nations go to invest money a large amount of the world has invested in this derivative black hole. This is the reason we are in the current global depression.

Ruppert touches on this slightly, but somehow or another he ends up blaming it all on peak oil. What does a greedy banker rip-off pyramid scheme that ballooned to amounts higher than (as I repeat) ALL TANGIBLE ASSETS ON THE ENTIRE PLANET INCLUDING OIL have to do with ‘peak oil’? Ruppert maybe if you were talking about ‘peak planet’, or ‘peak pyramid scheme’ theory I would believe you.

In 2006, Estulin correctly predicted that the U.S. housing market would be encouraged to soar (via careless lending practices and other methods), and the bubble then intentionally “popped.”

Bob Chapman even calls peak oil a “Fairy Tale” and that “it [oil] is manipulated by the powers behind government” at minute 19 of this radio show:

The Defeatist – Stay Where You Are, and Piss In Your Garden

Ruppert basically says that your screwed no matter what, and there is nothing you can do about it.  Its too late to move out of the country – stay in the city so that when the food stops flowing in you can see the true horror of the human race rear it’s ugly head when everyone is eating each other. Also don’t forget to piss in your garden because that will make it healthy, granted that anyone that has ever had a dog knows that if you or your dog sit and piss on something it burns the plant and kills it – not really sure this is the best advice. Carnivore defecation does not make good fertilizer.

No 9-11 Truth

Rupert has put out some very good speeches talking about the back stories of how 9-11 was an inside job that was carried out by the US Government and the CIA, but rather than say 9-11 was an inside job on this film he states that it was caused by peak oil.

He Pulls a Hillary Clinton

In the middle of the film he starts to cry, I guess that is supposed to lend credibility to his claims? I think a drop of peak-oil got in his eye.
