    In September 1956, IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first computer with a hard disk drive (HDD). The hard disk weighed over a ton and capable of storing 5MB in data.

    @ Max
    I speaks for meself
    A) my understandin of Oil has changed in ta last 2 days
    I truly believe it aint a Fossil fuel
    If ya were to take the total Mass of animals and trees tat had to die millions and millions of years you will get to see it does’nt add up to tee amount of Oil tear is
    a person has to be a retard to belive tat
    Plus tee public first sees tat tee price of Oil Fluctuates like a baboon dipped in itchin poweder on a waterbed which is on a trampoline

  4. Tey dont werk on alternate technologys cause it just might be infinite Oil tat is
    I still dont belive its a Fossil fuel
    No of Dead Trees & animals = DOESNOT = no of Oil consumed & remainin
    Hic ;-)

  5. Max & Stacey…. good show; well done on getting back to the US.

    Am all for your alternative energy discussion… as long as we don’t have a carbon tax… and as long as power does not become centralised.

  6. Good Show. On Topic and respectful of the GCN brand this time. Not sure the GCN listeners can handle Tea Party bashing though.

    This oil spill lasted 10 months, but was a lot smaller…

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ixtoc_I_oil_spill

    Volume and extent of spill

    In the initial stages of the spill, an estimated 30,000 barrels of oil per day were flowing from the well. In July 1979, the pumping of mud into the well reduced the flow to 20,000 barrels per day, and early in August the pumping of nearly 100,000 steel, iron, and lead balls into the well reduced the flow to 10,000 barrels per day. Pemex claimed that half of the released oil burned when it reached the surface, a third of it evaporated, and the rest was contained or dispersed.

    Mexican authorities also drilled two relief wells into the main well to lower the pressure of the blowout, however the oil continued to flow for three months following the completion of the first relief well.

    Pemex contracted Conair Aviation to spray the chemical dispersant Corexit 9527 on the oil. A total of 493 aerial missions were flown, treating 1,100 square miles of oil slick. Dispersants were not used in the U.S. area of the spill because of the dispersant’s inability to treat weathered oil. Eventually the on-scene coordinator (OSC) requested that Mexico stop using dispersants north of 25°N.

    In Texas, an emphasis was placed on coastal countermeasures protecting the bays and lagoons formed by the barrier islands. Impacts of oil to the barrier island beaches were ranked as second in importance to protecting inlets to the bays and lagoons. This was done with the placement of skimmers and booms. Efforts were concentrated on the Brazos-Santiago Pass, Port Mansfield Channel, Aransas Pass, and Cedar Bayou which during the course of the spill was sealed with sand. Economically and environmentally sensitive barrier island beaches were cleaned daily.

    Laborers used rakes and shovels to clean beaches rather than heavier equipment which removed too much sand. Ultimately, 71,500 barrels of oil impacted 162 miles of U.S. beaches, and over 10,000 cubic yards of oiled material were removed.

    Containment

    In the next nine months, experts and divers including Red Adair were brought in to contain and cap the oil well.

    An average of approximately ten thousand to thirty thousand barrels per day were discharged into the Gulf until it was finally capped on 23 March 1980, nearly 10 months later.

  8. For me, ENERGY IS THE ISSUE. Its consequence gets into eveything. Please follow this thread of thinking – excellent and significant show today folks, thanks.

  9. @Danny – Mike Ruppert is on the next Keiser Report as per your suggestion! Or was it someone else’s suggestion and you seconded it

    @Chenjeshu – if the tea party is turning into a war mongering, inflationary, big government group then we will continue to discuss this; just as the red and blue teams are both war mongering, inflationary, big government groups, but to me the rhetoric coming out of the latest tea party candidates is even bigger and more inflationary; there is no bigger cause of inflation throughout history than war and war has caused the majority of hyperinflationary events

  10. I have just fininished a quik read of
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepwater_Horizon_oil_spill
    provided by Bill Stewart:
    It appears to me that modern industry and government are of the opinion that any bullshit can be justified.
    Fistly the flow rates: flow rates are a function of cross sectional area of exit oriface and the velocity of fluid or gas exiting in a certain time period.
    The pipe diameter is known, the velocity can be obtained with in reasonable limits from video footage. I would think the percentage of gas could also be determined within reasonable limits by a experienced eye viewing video. Crane, Chaing and Waveley would probably be happy to settle on 11 Mega litres/day. A huge difference to BP initial estimate of 790 Kilo litres/day. WTF
    second: (the way I read it, I may be mis interpreting) Schematics drawings do not correspond to installed BOP. Hydraulic shear rams not connected correctly and located on inappropriated sections of pipe??????????

    How is all this shit possible

    By guess for what it is worth: BOP jammed with solidified concrete

    Publicity slogan for Japan bonds

    Men who buy Japan bonds know how to “bande” (in french well it means know how “to keep it up”. To make fun of James Bond we call him in french James Bande. Paper is an exquiste way of plundering.. Bonded, it’s more easy to steal somebody after that. Be generous to Yakuzas brothers ! Give us your money.

    “German Chancellor Angela Merkel, speaking at a joint news conference with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev north of Berlin, described the consensus among world powers on the issue as a “major diplomatic advance” and said she expected the U.N. to move quickly.

    “It is possible that in the near future the sanctions can be approved by the U.N. Security Council,” Merkel said.

    “I am very happy that we can stand here together today and say this is a common position, including not only the European Union, the United States and Russia, but also China,” she added.”

    There’s the warmongering group, Stacy. The G20 is not worried about inflation: it works like a double-edged sword against the people, not the industrial capitalists forwarding war. The books are safe within the context of their sdr/index.

    The tea party is pushing austerity AND war: a sort of no butter more guns policy.

    Here’s a shocker. Even Barney Frank gives lip service to taking on the military spending.

  14. This was a huge improvement from yesterdays pilot TAM USA episode me thinks! I enjoyed listening.

  15. Just to say Sigmar Polke pasted away the other day – a very significant artist of recent times:-

    About the timing to the border wall –

    What has been expressed over and over by blue collar workers is that they have had a more difficult time providing for their American families at home in the US because they have not been able to compete for construction and similar jobs in the US because of competition from eager workers from outside of the US. It is not the Mexican workers but the decimation of their own opportunities in the workplace. This includes wages and safety. It is the issue all over again of winners and losers under globalization, be it American factories in China, imported software engineers at Microsoft, or disorderly influx into the US of workers for jobs that cannot go offshore.

    It is not racism. It’s jobs. Unfortunately economists, politicians, and pundits are not as reality-oriented as the guy who wants to pick up his lunch box and go work with his hands at a job that provides a living wage while building something tangible. Don’t discount basic male pride. The anger and willingness to act derives energy from the spectacle of lawmakers and bureaucrats who live off money extracted from taxpayers then refuse to provide a more even playing field for the citizen by functioning within the law.

    I’ve worked for many years with peers from various nations. They were allowed to immigrate legally to fill jobs openings. They were paid using the same pay scale and worked under the same conditions and rules and had to be able to communicate in fluent English. Any competition for work was orderly and fair. The international nature of the team made work more enjoyable.

    As a mother-in-law of a Mexican national, I have been quite disenchanted with the performance of our embassy employees in Mexico and the poorly constructed system for obtaining a visa to travel to the USA even to visit my family. It is all pretty ridiculous and at times downright unfriendly. My son-in-law is more patient than I.

    With a nearly open border and a nearly shut visa system, we can only expect lawless entry. It is a system that benefits employers, investors, and members of the Chamber of Commerce but can devastate honest workers who are essentially unrepresented in Washington DC. It’s about jobs and it’s about corrupt, expensive government. It’s about attempting to make government more responsive and law-abiding.

    I have to leave, so I’ll stop here. Sorry.

    @Max and Stacy:

    Boy, For a Pilot show, I don’t think is gonna make it…

    1). There is nothing in the constitution nor declaration of independence re: Separation of Church and State. Prove me Wrong if you want, but maybe the easiest thing to do ( if you’re honest ) is to READ the Declaration of Independence and the Constution. Pretty obvious that you’ve never read it.
    Since our inalienable rights were given …By the Creator (according to that idiot Tom Jefferson), then according to him, If you don’t believe in Almighty God then, quite obviously you have no rights. Why obviously? “We Hold these truths to be Self Evident”.. That means even an IDIOT can understand this concept. Since TJ wrote the D of I, and also the complaint constantly misquoted about “Separation of Church and State”, (not in the D of I, nor Constitution), he might know a bit about what he is talking about. Constitutionally, “Congress shall make no law”, so that means neither FOR, nor AGAINST. Our supreme court, convenient forgets ( along with silver and gold being the only constitutionally approved money ) the AGAINST part, and worse legislates from the bench.

    2). There is obviously not one monolithic tea party… As Gerald Celente has said, the TP isn’t the be all end all, but merely the first step toward the second American Revolution, attempted neo-con infiltration notwithstanding.

    3). BP is the total problem, along with Tony H, and GS. Don’t smear all the other environmentally sensitive oil drillers who have a perfect 5 decade environmental record who are hurt by the blanket 6 month moratorium.

    4). Stacy has mentioned in the past that anyone who “Denies” AGW is silly and stupid. Why does Max appear on Alex Jones so often? He is the American Poster Boy AGW Denier. Maybe just to boost publicity.

  18. Photoception

    Very little oil is used for electricity generation because natural gas and coal are way more cost effective.

    In terms of US oil supplies, the EIA has been reporting for a year that “inventories are above the upper limit of the average range.” Yet the price has been rising… see the problem with peak oil predictions is that the price of oil at any given moment isn’t necessarily a true representation of real supply/demand.

    Eventually we surely will run out of oil, but because we’ve entered the “Casino Gulag State,” prices have become entirely separated from reality. Prices can go down as supplies dwindle or go up as inventories build.

  19. You might consider being a bit clearer concerning the panoply of eroei numbers on the downslope of the peak curve. Otherwise good show.

  20. Marc Authier

    Imagine a world whwe China and India consume the same amount of oil than USA per capita ? END OF OI and END OF THE LINE for all. .

  21. Marc Authier

    OK. The diagnostic is quite clear. What about the SOLUTIONS ?

  22. Bill Howland

    @Bonn:

    Very interesting points you made here, I have definitely learned alot from you today.. I never (before you mentioned it today), calculated the truly stupendous amount of dead plant material needed to make the billons of barrells of oil in the planet’s ‘Storehouse’.

    The only logical conclusion is that so-called ‘Fossil Fuels’, and at least partially Abiotically (or perhaps biotically but anorobically) Generated.

    Please keep thinking outside the box. Such examples of Clear Thinking are Truly Appreciated (at least by me).

  23. The Faux Press

    Great show, guys. Hadn’t known about the Mexican oil fields, but it sure makes a lot of sense in the big picture.
