Facing up to the coming energy crisis
http://www.onlinejournal.com/Commentary/100105Chin/100105chin.html

I wonder when the sheeple will wake from their dream and see the reality that faces them this winter??


October 1, 2005—US officials, energy industry analysts, and the corporate media continue to issue conflicting and contradictory reports on the damage wrought by Hurricanes Rita and Katrina.

Those who scoff at Peak Oil, and argue that Peak is not real, are missing the only important point. The criminal acts of this Empire—from 9/11 to the sequential oil war under the "war on terrorism" rubric, to the USA PATRIOT Act and militarization of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast (a rehearsal for the military control of the United States under post-Peak conditions), and unfolding economic crises—are continuing, as if Peak is real. The entire argument has been rendered academic by actual events. It is time to stop wasting time.

If even a single aspect of the worst case scenarios comes about, the people of America, and the world, are in for plenty of hurt. The real bullets are coming.
