Just full of shit.. sell out! MK

Dear max n stacy.
WTF Iran?
I’m’ going to get back to my basics of peak oil as I heard it from the horses mouth 2008.
More realistic.
Bless you,
You are right in many ideas…. not all.
Paul | January 31, 2011 at 12:41 am |

Max and Stacy.
Was that like…, some video dub/erase on the J H Kunsler vid.
You might have gold n silver but… it will only last your brief lifetime.
I have children.

The capital mechanisms (tyranny) to extract oil are failing ($1 invested returns less than $1 in product). The best strategy is peaceful cooperation. LOL – like that will happen.

Concerning the link Youri C. posted “Peak Oil Myth – Scam Busted by Noe van Hulst”

I still have a difficult time with this idea that we are not at peak oil. I think Kunsler addresses this by saying there is a race with capital. If the capital isn’t available to extract the oil, there is no oil. If market manipulation to keep oil prices too low is an elite ploy to leave half the oil in the ground for their future use, collapse society, and kill off 6 billion people or so, then someone must have run the numbers that suggest the remaining 500 million people living in subsequent feudal utopia will be able to create sufficient capital and technical means to extract much of the remaining oil.

I think this is more complicated but essentially believe that there is ‘peak oil’ (one way or another) and that the implosion of the system is not as controlled as some believed since this would imply greater understanding of non-linear systems than most of the elitist lug-heads can muster. Being rich doesn’t make a person smart, it only means they’ve been lucky and/or able to exploit the operations of an exponential system. Once the system dynamics shift from linear to non-linear, all bets are off and the luck of the wealthy runs out – imo. Otherwise, why would Hanky Paulson go into dry heaves when extorting money from congress? The future is unknown, even by our farmer ‘friends’ who rely on the weather.

We could import hydrocarbons from Titan, the moon or Saturn where it rains methane. There are oceans of LNG on Titan. That might be a productive way to spend the $100,000,000,000,000 of new debt that has been proposed at Davos.
Zorro / London | January 30, 2011 at 3:04 pm |

Hi Max, Mr.Kunstler one of your better guest selections.

Very knowledgable about geo-political relationship and oil. Great speaker

I agree with other blogger, Jim Willie is priceless. Lets have more from him in the light of:

1) Class actions against JPM
2) Developments ijn the middle East
3) Why Gold and silver suddenly and almost un-naturally took a steep dive one week into the new year as if “Someone” had flipped a magic switch.
4) update of staged coup / raid by metals vigelantes….any more action on that front??

Here in UK….we have a particularly high grade version of sheeple.

Most gorging on diet of TV trash reality, or actually those who use their 5 second attention span on believing the positive sound bites from the so called free press and news.

Although I have to say, many I speak to, know something is desparately wrong, but just cant seem to put it together. Of course they cant, if they are fed daily corporate propaganda by the media. The other element is the “IT COPULD NEVER HAPPEN HERE” theory.

Poor deluded lemmings being led by the Cameron pied piper aided and abetted
by his masonic / illuminati self-interest club.

Matters not if Conservative or Labour…..two humps on the same camel heading in the same direction.

I felt compelled (for the 1st time ever) to lodge a complaint with BBC news about the total absence of reporting that FTSE , DOW etc. plunging on back of Arab public revolts however on any other day, and every day, as a main news item the talk is about how the markets are on the up .

Such BLATENT bias and CENSORSHIP, as well as under-reporting of what the people need to know.

The once proud BBC now a siamese identical twin like the shoddier version of CNBC and its inbred cousins.

As Monday markets open it will be interesting to see how indeces react to prospect of Egypt (hub of middle eastern security) breaking away and eventually declaring UDi way from western sphere of influence.

Israelis must be planning to built thicker walls to their illegal settlements with a few tank traps around the garage, as none of this bodes well for them.

Finally Jim Rickards prognosis for metals interesting, but does not factor in the geo-political realignments that are coming in fast and furious, with none of the indicators in favour of western so called democracies and economies.

10-20 years time see the emergance of the equivalent of the EU in the arab world
The I.T.A.L (Islamist Trans Arab League) and as long as their oil economy holds out they might be a force to be reckoned with.

Israel will be toast!

Car sales in USA, UK & Europe go down and bicycle sales to go up.

Reverse to happen in China

Signs of protectionism and fortress mentaility are becoming clearer every day

Free trade…..our children will ask…what was that?

Time to start seriously about digging up the useless lawn, and growing your own veg.

The next great British industry and export….well apart from cashmere sweaters and Rolls Royce engines. Have I missed any others??

Screw the mainstream, still buying silver for the cause and taking a medium to long position.

But as they used to say in “Stingray” anything can happen in the next half hour!

Enjoy…

@Max:
you state Norway as a “safe haven”
Now here is the situation with the Norwegian Central Bank:

Norges Bank reported Wednesday that housing prices in real terms is 1.3 percent above the peak in June 2007, seasonally adjusted, and thus were at an all time high, adjusted for inflation. Following a request from DN.no Friday, the central bank admitted that they had made a mistake. When adjusted the figure to be 0.1 percent below the peak in June 2007, seasonally adjusted.
ryback | January 30, 2011 at 1:41 pm |

Isnt Norways soveregin weath fund propping up fanny may and freedie mac? Isnt that the reason Norway didnt join the euro, so the fund could be protected from all the planned euro manipulation?

Also property bubble = money laundering scheme for mortgage sellers. Isnt UKs oil really Scotlands oil? Didnt the uk get an IMF bailout just before the discovery of the oil? Convenient for the IMF dont ya think?
Zorro / London | January 30, 2011 at 12:58 am |

Damn! Site went down for a sound reason……there goes my conspiracy theory.

Still, can you imagine being disconnected from our beloved sources of truth Max & Stacey….life would not be worth living. We would be isolated in the darkness and in the clutches of the muppet show media inteligencia.

What would we do?????!!!!

Max think you need to have a back up system (PLAN B) in place just in case the site gets taken down.

You better have our email addreses backed up to pass instructions to the troops in the event of a cyber attack.

Perhaps something like… on Star Treks Enterprise… switch to auxillary power Scotty / Stacey.
DanT | January 30, 2011 at 12:17 am |

Stacy,

I enjoy your reporting and Max’s bombastic, over the top style.

Is there a part 3 to Jim Kunstler’s chat? I have been waiting, and dreading, for the soon to be carbon craving US ARMY to mummer their way into Alberta using the Monroe doctrine as an excuse. It will happen and none will be more surprised than Albertan’s.

Regards from Canada,

If Oil is Aibiotic, then Peak Oil is a myth: See article by Jerome Corsi:
http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=45838
When the BP disaster happened they discovered abiotic oil coming out of the well. Hmmmm? Lyndsey Williams mentioned this, as well.
BR | January 29, 2011 at 10:22 pm |

Peak Oil? We have an enormous amount of our own oil in the Gull Isle deposit off Alaska and, for political reasons, they haven’t even touched it. Not to mention the deposit under North and South Dakota and Montana. The USGS conducted a survey and published a white wash report on the deposits there. Gee I wonder why they’d lie about how much oil is really there? The real estimates are 200 plus Billion barrels. They’d rather go to war and have thousands die to further the Anglo American empire. Foriegn oil is a great reason to continue the rape and pillage of other countries, while purposefully ignoring our own resources. The New World order couldn’t continue it’s world conquest without oil as a reason.The petro dollar is a perfect situation. Gee, I wonder why the nations that don’t trade oil in US dollars are considered the “Axis of Evil”? Once they have the Anglo-American new World order, they don’t care if they run short of oil. They’ll have control over the world and then new sources of alternative energy will be allowed to emerge. Like Cold Fusion, etc. But for now, here in the US, we don’t have Peak Oil. Just untapped oil.

I take it part 3 wasn’t good enough to upload?
Michael Bridges | January 29, 2011 at 9:35 pm |

Great interview! But Part 3 is missing. Hope you can provide it soon. Thanks!
Jayme | January 29, 2011 at 9:31 pm |

@Marc A. – I agree.
Jayme | January 29, 2011 at 9:30 pm |

“I suggest you find your own on site power generation & remove yourself from another one of the bankster’s power control grids.” – Oky1

If you mean get off the energy grid – I agree in that it will help me but I think it will have the greatest impact if the whole culture of exploitation, waste, and consumption change if there is to be any long term resolution. The FIRE economy is ending with oil. If new energy sources are developed, I’m afraid they too will be exploited through greed and simply perpetuate the present environmentally destructive system.
Marc Authier | January 29, 2011 at 9:04 pm |

Peak Everything also. Not just oil. Look at the oceans and the fish populaion being slaughtered. Good point about the fish stocks. This is scary indeed specially the total plundering of the oceans. We need a spiritual revolution and start getting rid of the pigmen and the pigwomen lilke these dictators and the bansters hedge fund oligarchs kleptocrats. Their tool is indeed paper.
Geek Boy | January 29, 2011 at 8:29 pm |

I hope y’all are following The Nation’s series on peak oil – features James Kunstler, Stoneleigh and others.
Oky1 | January 29, 2011 at 8:18 pm |

Jan 29, 2011 at 7:56 pm

@Oky1 – I don’t think there is a direct relationship between peak oil and peak people.

.<<

I figure its most likely all about peak investment.

A cattle rancher tries to fatten up the herd & get them to the slaughter house as fast as possible.

The Wallst Banks/Insurance scam artist seem to have the same plan in mind for us Baby Boomers & the flipper baby offspring.

Peak Oil Price should coincide nicely with Banksters Peak People to Slaughter plans.

I suggest you find your own on site power generation & remove yourself from another one of the bankster’s power control grids.

An apology from Superwoman Stacy!!! I’m feel honoured!
Jayme | January 29, 2011 at 7:46 pm |

Peak oil =>
1. Peak CO2 emissions
2. Peak waste and pollution
3. Peak bankers

Chris Martenson’s “Crash Course” series is pretty good. 20 chapters at about 5 or so minutes each. (Peak oil deniers need not watch.)

Oky1 | January 29, 2011 at 7:02 pm |

Max,

Kunstler did a pretty decent job with the Peak Oil issue, but there’s much more.

Peak Oil (Price) verses Peak People!

Where’s Jim Willie when you need him???

His email addresses doesn’t seem to work for me. Anyone know how to reach him?

Anyway Peak Oil Vs Peak People:

Jim Willie, the US 2010 Census is out, what say you? Send us your take on the stats of the US/World’s demographics.
Dedo | January 29, 2011 at 6:59 pm |

Why are you clowns incessantly manufacturing “crisis”,..is it to SCARE the idiots ?

For anyone with half a brain,.. humans are the most resourceful entities on the planet, so to believe there is a scarcity of anything beyond mans ingenuity is totally defeatist ( which is the goal of the perception managers).
So,…WAKE THE FUCK UP!,.and stop relying on the talking heads for leadership!!
