Very interesting! is it possible everything is a conspiracy theory? global warming, 9/11, Tsunamis, chemical / weapons testing etc. maybe
But i must agree with peak oil. I will look deeper due to reading this.
For me the signs have been obvious. What would be the answer to survive because the juggernaut will not stop. Buy oil exploration shares, advocate the wests power struggle for oil or change. I do know as oil becomes more expensive more oil reserves become viable to extract so how much is left.

Hi folks
Great site, thanks for your good work!

As a peak oil activist for over 10 years, and a Derrick Jensen fan, I’m more than convinced that Cole Nidrei has not done the hard yards, the homework, the independent study.

So Cole, go look at the reality of geological, ecological and geo-chemical fundimentals, the facts. They trump all ideology. Forget the conspiracy bs out there that it’s all an elite game play, or at least read between the lies!

There’s an unravelling already underway that’s about to catch up with us all, especially those “civilised” humans who have managed to stay in a consensus trance bubble of wealth and anthropocentric bullshit.

Indigenous peoples have been waiting for “us” to wake up for a very long time. This is not a problem of species, human nature or humanity. It’s about “civlised” humans living in a pathologically suicidaly insane dominant culture, aka Global Industrial Civilisation, aka empire. Lumping indigenous people in with “us” when we spout off about the challenges facing us as a species, etc, is a complete insult.

Jack Forbes wrote a book called “Columbus and Other Cannibals” which has just been re-released and you can get it now from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Columbus-Other-Cannibals-Exploitation-Imperialism/dp/0936756705

The Wetiko concept is stunningly accurate for describing “civilised” humans: http://www.consumercide.com/cc/wetiko.html

I’m doing the best I can to wake myself up, and untangle the “civilised” programming that surrounds and runs through me. I’m not sure I’ll survive the changes coming, but I’ll do what I can to help out….the planet is no dying, she’s being killed. Those doing it have names and addresses, and you’ll find them amongst the “civilised”….

Regards
Ted

do you think peak oil a myth then?
and climate change? should we carry on burning oil, releasing carbon, pouring poisons into the sea, cutting down forests?
it makes no odds whether peak oil is a myth or not, this society is the most destructive culture to have ever lived on this planet, and the majority of human and non-human lives that are affected by civilisation have their lives impoverished and polluted.
if the pillage continues this planet will be uninhabitable, while humans are enslaved to the machine.

Based on this post it seems you are indeed a subscriber to the misanthropic Malthusian view.

Just so you know, the same forces behind the promotion of the Peak Oil myth are also very interested in reducing the population. Peak Oil was deliberately formulated by Royal Dutch Shell and other petroleum giants as a way to ensure obscene profits and control over oil resources. But I suppose if you see humanity and not humans as the problem then you’re ripe for buying the scam they’ve sold you.
