Australia’s Biggest News Agency
Drops the “Real Oil Crisis” Bomb!

A thirteen minute shocker video [Real Player version] of a recent broadcast featuring both “sides” of the Peak Oil “debate” between the geologists and scientists in the “majority” [thirty years or more], or the “minority” [now and for the next three years].

ABC of Australia is finally taking this issue seriously and so should you, your friends, neighbors and your officials in City Hall.

Join the “growing number” of people who refuse to “look back in anger” but to prepare for the radical changes ahead in energy production. It is now time to prepare your family, villages and local government officials for this epic fundamental change in the world’s energy grid.

The “early” Peak Oil “splinter group” within the scientific geologic community is gaining momentum and numbers. The “elite whistleblowers” are telling us to prepare with each food-growing season.

Clear, “balanced” and worth watching, click or enter the line below and watch:

The Big Energy Elites are quietly preparing for the Oil Shock. Are you and yours?

Mike Whitney’s devastating exposure of Vice President Cheney’s financial portfolio and other elites in Big Energy as they load their financial “lifeboats” and let the U. S. dollar and national economy sink.

From Whitney’s article as it originally appeared off the outstanding Information Clearinghouse headline feed at the FCF’s web log site:

“Do the math! They're not investing in America anymore. They are decreasing their stockpiles of dollars. We’re sinking fast and Cheney and his pals are manning the lifeboats while the public is diverted with gay marriage amendments and ‘American Celebrity.’

The American manufacturing sector has been hollowed out by cutthroat corporations who’ve abandoned their country to make a fast-buck in China or Mexico. The $3 trillion housing (equity) bubble is quickly loosing air while the anemic dollar continues to sag.

All the signs indicate that the economy is slowing at the same time that energy prices continue to rise. This is the onset of stagflation; the dreaded combo of a slowing economy and inflation.”

FROM THE IMPORTANT ENERGY BULLETIN ARTICLE:

Kinsale 2021 “On Saturday February 12th 2005 we held an event in Kinsale called “Kinsale in 2021 - Towards a Prosperous, Sustainable Future Together”, which took place at Kinsale Town Hall. The event was presented as a ‘community think-tank’ in order to hear the community’s ideas about how energy descent would affect the community and what might be done about it. Before the event we sent personal invitations to the people in Kinsale that we had identified as being the movers and shakers in the town, drawn from the sectors identified above.

We also left the event open to the public and put posters up around the town. From the 60 people invited, about 35 turned up on the day. The event itself was opened by the Mayor of Kinsale, Mr Charles Henderson, who spoke of the importance of energy as an issue and how it affects all aspects of our lives and our economy. This was followed by a screening of ‘The End of Suburbia’.”
