this is in honor of another unsung american hero who did what he could to inform the public of the truth of our dystopian and doomed world. tomorrow would have been michael c. ruppert's 69th birthday. he committed suicide 6 years ago, heart broken i think over his inability to save our world. below are links to his most notable video, COLLAPSE, and his magnum opus book about peak oil and 9/11, CROSSING THE RUBICON.
ruppert was a doomer par excellence. it should be noted here that in the year 2008 when this video was produced consensus opinion among rational knowledgable doomers was that peak oil was imminent if not already past. u may recall the financial fiasco, the bankster bailout, oil spiking to $147 a barrel, and the recession that followed. this was the beginning of the end! well, we were all wrong. rather than having a sharp peak, we're seeing a prolonged plateau of oil production, apparently abetted by resorting to increasingly expensive and environmentally destructive means, such as deep sea drilling and fracking on land.
so our timing was off, but the basis for pessimism remains unchallenged. in fact, imo it's increased. our species is flocking nuts! rather than getting surrealistic in the face of impending self-induced doom, our (mis)leaders continue with business (as usual) their main priority, keeping the pedal to the metal in the pursuit of eternal 'growth', seemingly oblivious to physical limits and scientific alarms.
and the sheeple? sadly, most of us are delusional and/or oblivious too. red pill radicals are rather few and far between, and i imagine many are like me, mostly closeted as a result of being daunted, not up to the immense task of trying to fight the tide of insanity we're swept up in. we see the best among us like mr. ruppert make very valiant efforts to do so, with discouraging results. we also see the great shersonal cost of effectively and resolutely speaking red pill radical truths, doing one's best to reach a broad and receptive audience, and facing official harassment or worse as a result, as the main result. sure, thousands may be enlightened, but in a world of billions, thousands aren't cutting it! the masses aren't getting it, in my experience and view because they're just too damned dumbed down and dogmatized. irrational. insane. just like our (mis)leaders!
collapse is coming, and not just because oil is being rapidly depleted and is essentially non-renewable and the most critical fossil fuel to the economy. other essential resources, in fact more essential to our very survival, are also being depleted and/or polluted at an alarming rate. healthy topsoil and fresh water, for example.
even more alarmingly, an ecological collapse or mass extinction event is underway, the oceans are being over fished, acidified, and warmed, resulting in coral reefs bleaching/dying and ocean ecology unraveling. industrial civilization is an onslaught against mother nature, wilderness, almost all non-human species. we're not taught this shit in school. most 'public' schools are designed to dull, not sharpen, intellect and curiosity, and they're damned good at it! i digress into dystopianism. back to doom.
have u ever read SIX DEGREES by mark lynas or UNDER A GREEN SKY by peter ward? if u haven't, chances are u're pretty clueless about the utter disaster we face with civilization induced climate change from fossil fuel burning. how radically and quickly our world can change, how inhospitable to most life, including human life, it can become, in a matter of decades, not centuries or millennia. we're talking honest to dog near term extinction, possibly prior to 2100!
collapse is coming well before then. it may not be imminent, but i'm pretty sure it's no more than a few decades distant. most likely prior to 2050. it's going to be one hell of a shock. brings to mind a lyric from an old song by the alternative metal band TOOL, song title AENIMA, with regards to an envisioned, mean spirited and sadly somewhat relatable deadly world cataclysm, accompanied by 'millions of dumbfounded dipshits'. i think such will be the fate of not millions, but billions of sheeple. before climate change supplies the likely coup de grace to homo inanis (i substitute inanis, which is latin for foolish, for sapiens, which is latin for knowing, or wise, as i think foolishness best describes us and will demise us).
enough of my prattling.
