Is a winter of discontent on the way?

Submitted by seemorerocks on 19 October 2011 - 3:34pm | Blog entry

This is an important article.  If you substituted the word "collapse" for "crisis" you could say this is pretty much what Mike Ruppert and others in the Lifeboat movement have been saying since at least April.  For comparison it might be worthwhile revisiting Ruppert's video made back in April.  He was condemned for this by many but in many respect accurately predicted what is indeed coming to past (better than some I could mention anyhow) » Read more

Who Killed Growth?

Submitted by seemorerocks on 8 August 2011 - 8:31pm | Blog entry

This latest video produced by Richard Heinberg and the Post-carbon Institute explains succinctly why economic growth is dead and why we are in the predicament we are in at the moment - the debt ceiling crisis and credit downgrade of the United States by Standard and Poors as well as a sovereign debt crisis in Europe that is now affecting larger countries like Spain and Italy. Most of the commentary in our media completely misses the point. » Read more

'A Perfect Storm'?

Submitted by seemorerocks on 24 July 2011 - 7:02pm | Blog entry

There has been some debate in recent days between those of us that are trying to alert people to economic and social collapse (that is already in train).

For those who doubt and still willing to look at the evidence I would recommend the following areas:

1. US ‘debt ceiling” crisis
Talks between Obama and the Republicans have broken down acrimonniously; this means that some time between 2 and 10 August the USA will default on its 14 trillion dollar debt and will no longer be able to pay out pensions etc, the Chinese will be left holding dollars they don’t want etc. » Read more

‘We May Have to Adapt Very Quickly': Reflections on Transition Towns and Collapse

Submitted by seemorerocks on 12 July 2011 - 6:26pm | Blog entry

In recent weeks and months I have had to re-evaluate things.

I have had to re-evaluate the way in which I live my life and how I use my energy; - what is most important for me.

I have also had to re-evaluate my ideas, which may be characterised as liberal and left-wing.

I have had to recognise that most of these ideas that I have cherished throughout my life have become rendered as redundant as capitalism. » Read more

NZ Defence Report Ignores Peak Oil. US/German Military Warn It's A Grave Risk

Submitted by Denis Tegg on 6 November 2010 - 10:24am | updated 07 Nov 2010 | Blog entry

The just released Defence White Paper on New Zealand's strategic and security interests to 2025, as Gordon Campbell points out, is long on rhetoric, and short on coherence and detail.  But worse still it fails to even mention a very serious and imminent threat to our security which both the US and German military have warned about - namely the peaking of global oil production leading to dwindling world oil supplies. » Read more
