Peak Oil Perspective

I always try to find historical parallels.

In the 1920s Henry Ford made one of his few unsuccessful investments by losing a huge fortune in trying to develop rubber farms in Brazil he was, in fact, prescient.

In 1942 Japan held all the available rubber-tree growing area. Some movies made in 1942 show people fighting over a tire. What rubber we had was being emergency recycled for military use.

My family used to tell me how BAD the new artificial rubber was back then.

But by 1945 the new tires were better than the old ones.

It is important that we recognize the difference between a really serious problem and The End of Civilization As We Know It.

Looking back, we find the rubber shortage almost amusing. It was NOT amusing at the time. Henry Ford didn’t build all those rubber plantations to protect his car production because it was a minor matter.

Peak Oil IS a serious matter. Serious matters like that, as Peak Oil folks point out, is what revolutions are built on.

Simmons may have converted me on that. The day one can’t be converted by reasonable argument is the day his mind is dead.

But this does not make the “Oh, God, all is lost! Civilization is DOOMED!” talk sensible.

That’s not Simmons. That’s the panic wing of Peak Oil.

Tack with the friggin’ wind, gang, but don’t jump overboard.

Here’s a thought I came across this morning, but can’t seem to find. It goes like this. We non politcally correct types can express onpinions about most things. We can be pro-life or against gun control, but what we can’t be is PRO_WHITE because once the leftist establishment faces that question the “gig is up.” This is EXACTLY where it’s at. Anti-racist IS anti-white.

Just in going through the compilations on NationalSalvation.Net I marvel how the content there in and of itself is sufficient to guide a revolution.

And I compare our clear-cut and logical content with the “axes” our opponents grind in their fervent incoherency.

Our enemies are so unfocused, so misdirected, so distorted in their views, and so unaware of their lies, that I know I am looking at nothing other than the true face of social chaos.

And chaos is the real name of “politics” in our time.

No real leader lies. And a real leader is an important source of news.

We have no real news in America today. The lies are so rampant the only way to detect the real news is through conscientious Internet research.

This is where people like Robert Whitaker come in. Robert Whitaker is an important source of real news. And access to real news and the kind of information sufficient to make sound judgments on the future is critical.

People need to know who is lying and why they are lying.

And the multitudes that have been duped need to be dragged into recognition of reality.

And we desperately need a handle on what to expect for the future.

This will happen. The real leaders will emerge.

They have to for there is no escaping the largely unrecognized and potent forces bearing down upon us. Accordingly, our major job is to get these largely unrecognized but potent forces recognized.

The advent of BUGS, the advent of the propagation of the Mantra view, is all part of this process.

It could not be more important

Brutus in General Comments

ME

I had been ignoring General Comments because nobody was posting there. Now that I checked I am joyfully suprised that I am WAY BEHIND.

Keep it up!

I will be quoting these here daily.

BRUTUS

I noticed this BASIC thinking jewel on a SF thread. It was posted by an unregistered Jolt4444.

It is in fact a masterpiece.

It is short and very, very POWERFUL.

It is so basic that EVERYONE on Earth knows it but ALWAYS fails to state it out loud and with force.

An anti-WHITE (Bob’s addition) made the usual observation that some Whites are low class and some live in trailer park, some even in “trashy trailer parks.”

we hear this a lot from anti’s (anti-WHITES, damn it!).

Jolt4444 responded with the following:

“Nobody ever went into a panic if they made a wrong turn and wound up in the middle of a trailer park at 2:30 in the morning. The same cannot be said about taking a wrong exit and looking up and discovering you are on Martin Luther King Boulevard.”

FINALLY, some White man has said what NEEDED to be said and put that anti argument down for the count!

“Nobody ever went into a panic if they made a wrong turn and wound up in the middle of a trailer park at 2:30 in the morning. The same cannot be said about taking a wrong exit and looking up and discovering you are on Martin Luther King Boulevard.”

INDEED!

I am not Getting Sweeter, You are Getting Better

I am handing out an unusual numberof compliments right now and it is a pleasure to do so.

I still come down hard on commenters, and you have to EARN a good word.

But I don’t come down hard to maintain an image as a Tough Professor. You know what I think of Greatest Generation “tough guys.”

You now know how deifficult it is to understand our “simple” approach. That is what our seminar, BUGS, is all about.

Dave, Simmons, Pain, Z and the rest are staying Focussed on OUR approach and EXPANDING on it. When you do that, it is pleasure to hand out some congrats. I hope you are happy to have EARNED them.
