Sunday Movie Day - Oil. Kunstler. Jiminy Cricket
Some clips here of a Kunstler talk on oil. It is low quality, I admit. But he hits on important points. It now seems clear the world peaked in oil production in May 2005. "Peakists" have long made predictions about what would follow this moment: 1. Real estate would crater. 2. A large run up in oil prices - NOT connected to any one event. 3. Rapid food price rise and then a food crisis starting at the bottom of the world economic scale and moving up...
The clips below are not about these events in particular but he lays a ground work of sorts for what's next.
Enjoy.
Really. Kunstler is a dandy public speaker.

Part 3:
There is no discussion here about current politics - BUT in this clip Kunslter hits on what he calls the "Jiminy Cricket" syndrome to explain our denial about the oil predicament. I also think it explains much of the Obama campaign - all we have to do is "wish upon a star"...
Part 4:
Americans and getting something for nothing:
