Thread: Interesting Film With Fomer Los Angeles Narcotics & Homicide Detective Michael Ruppert

He takes a realistic approach to the coming crisis you don't normally see. Looking at it pragmatically, when the price of oil starts to sky-rocket, the way it's integrated so completely with all levels of our economy, food production, etc, there's no way to avoid such an extreme population drop. Our carrying capacity was artificially inflated by this finite resource and it will drop back down to what it was before oil. But that doesn't mean society will completely collapse, it just means that resources will become so expensive and hard to come by, being tied to this oil-based infrastructure is a death sentence.

But giving up your community, trying to make it in the woods isn't the answer, either, as he points out. Rather it will be communities as a whole that can come together and localize their food and water supply that will survive. My town is about as stupid as a town full of brainwashed morons can get, but even there are elements of sustainability hidden underneath the mainstream, fast-food addicted bible-thumpers.

I think right now the most important thing people can do if they can't afford to invest in gold and build survival shelters is involve themselves in their local co-ops and become part of that community. Though because the Federal Government is trying to oppress localized food production, the biggest obstacle in this endeavor will probably be the government. The people building their own lifeboats are getting told by the government they can't use any wood to build them because they need it all for the elite's lifeboats.
