I think your writing is just fine given the format. More importantly, your thinking is clear logical and quite quite accurate. Apparently you have made someone completely lose his cool. Next he will be dissecting your handwriting. <p></p><i></i>

Pan, I'm not interested in a peak oil debate, and Wintler and everyone else's comments have managed to completely miss the point of the thread. You see, there is a big difference between the question of whether something is true, and how we know whether something is true. I think that should be clear by now. <p></p><i></i>

No, you would like to think I made myself look like an idiot. In both cases, others had already brought up the topic. You were the one who mentioned the 9-11 commission report and the "fact" that it did nothing to prove 9-11 was an inside job. I do not think that any reference to 9-11 made anywhere should be done without the disclaimer "Inside Job". We have been subject to five years of abuse, murder, genocide, torture and the dismantleing of our rights all on the basis that arabs and terrorists did 9-11. This cannot ever be let pass anywhere, as far as I am concerned. Not one more day. <p></p><i></i>

Sure I agree, but you know me DBD, I'm not an official story guy. BTW, DBD, it's increasingly clear to me that the reason people in important areas aren't speaking out is that they're given the talk that it would be too disruptive to the country. I think that's how they got a lot of people to go along. Especially if the Tarpley invisible govt thesis is right. If Bush had his security stripped at the school and people knew codes on air force one and stuff, that must have scared the shit out of them. You're talking about a major major event dealing with who controls the US govt, and I can easily see people just not "going there" so to speak about 9-11. Of course, there's also the you'll get fired/peer pressure stuff too. <p></p><i></i>

In a radical departure from Newkids style, wanted to point out Heinbergs essay/book chapter:<br><br>George W. Bush and Peak Oil: Beyond Incompetence<br><br>"While it would be difficult to create an airtight legal case for impeaching George W. Bush based on his ignoring the very real threat posed by Peak Oil, nevertheless I believe that his actions—and inaction—in this regard constitute dereliction of duty on an unprecedented scale. ..."<br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.guerrillanews.com/articles/2185/George_W_Bush_and_Peak_Oil_Beyond_Incompetence">www.guerrillanews.com/art...competence</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>which i feel douses the "peakers are politically apathetic scaredy cats" idea that has been floated on RI more than once. <br>Its got some great links in the references too, including to the full text of Cheneys 1999 invite-only speech where he tacitly admits we're all in a pile of trouble.<br><br>If Heinberg is a baddie, how come he makes such a solid case, at a time when most in the "home of the brave" are still too scared to even mention impeachment? (i'm for a lynching myself). <p></p><i></i>

wintler, that proves nothing. Some of the loudest voices against Bush are people you'd NEVER want to ally with. larouche is one example we've been discussing, but folks much worse than I even made Heinberg out to be are doing the same. This "enemy of my enemy" is therefore factually correct theme is not logical and the idea that someone is on our side if he's against Bush is also not logical. <br><br>Secondly, if "peak Oil" is the issue with which he wants to impeach Bush, then Bush will happily spend the rest of his time in office. <br><br>I assume that Heinberg is quite sincere in his beliefs. 10 years in a cult will do that for you. (Emissaries of Divine Light...good luck getting info on THEM, I haven't had much luck). <p></p><i></i>

In reference to your remarks, NK, it sounds as if you are actully supporting suppressing the truth so that we don't rock the boat too much. "SH-h-h-h, don't look at it, if it doesn't see us watching it, it will let us live." I personally don't want to live that way. The truth must come out and we have to prepare for whatever that may mean. I think that you are trying to insinuate that those suppressing the truth (mainly the media in this case) actually have our best interests in mind. I doubt that hightly, especially seeing how they pushed into this devastating war and now seem to want to start more. Who exactly to those benefit? <p></p><i></i>

Hi all,<br><br>i am new to this board and have been lurking for awhile. I read all of the answers to Nk's post and i tend to agree with him. i don't want to dismiss Peak Oil as a hoax, but i think it certainly is hyped during the last year. The timing if its surfacing in the mainstream media, the independence from the 'old boys' oilnetwork of some the peak oil whistleblowers, the way it fits into the agenda of the powers that be, it all seems to me that Peak oil is going to be used for the manouvring into a worlwide economic crises. It seems like economical kamikaze to you ? it is ! Final goal : economic collapse of the USA.<br>Combine this with the 911 coverup which will cost Bush & his neoconvicts their heads, you'll have all the ingredients for martail law, civil war etc.<br>The leaders of the USA, Israel and Iran are all on an messianistic, apocalyptic course, waving their holy books as they're moving the last pieces pieces on the board in place.<br><br>Cheers nevertheless,<br><br>maniik <br><br>BTW, i am from the Netherlands ( Amsterdam) so excuse me for having such a oversimplified view on world politics ..<br>I tend to smoke too much, i must confess <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :smokin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smokin.gif ALT=":smokin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>
