Michael Ruppert is a smart man. Unlike most of our other “Doomsayers” Ruppert does not tie his concerns to arbitrary dates or ancient calendars. He does however tie them to a very specific event. He may not be able to determine exactly when that event will occur, but he’s got a lot of good reasons to think it will be soon. What Michael Ruppert is so worried about is peak oil, and you should be worried too.

 

Ruppert is an author and investigative journalist with several books to his credit. He has spent years looking at foreign policy, fiscal policy, and energy policy. He was able to predict the economic collapse of 2008 fully three years ahead of its time. He didn’t do that with a crystal ball, but rather by paying attention to the details. Anybody who really examines economics will realize how much of any economy is based on, essentially, mass delusion. That is, the willingness of a group of people to treat fiat currency (cash) as if it had real value. It does not. The value of currency constantly fluctuates, and at the end of the day, nobody can live by eating money. One need only look at post WW1 Germany’s economy to see how quickly things we have come to rely on as dependable, like currency, can become utterly useless. When a dollar bill is worth more as fuel than anything else, things will be bleak indeed.

Here’s the trailer for his 2009 movie Collaspe.

This movie is terrifying, not because the information came from an alien intelligence, or because the calamity it discusses is some event out of ancient prophecy. Rather, what makes this film so frightening is its utter lack of such nonsense. It deals with nothing but facts as it analyzes some of the more unpleasant truths that haunt our modern energy addicted society. Honestly by the time I got to the end of this movie I was left wonder “what’s the point in caring?” While the information was certainly a “downer” I realized that wallowing in self pity is useless. Even if efforts to protect my self and my family are futile, I would rather try than do nothing. I may not be faster than that bear, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to be the slowest camper.

If you’re a member of Amazon Prime, you can watch the film for free, everybody else will have to rent it, buy it, or… something. Regardless of how you gain access to this movie, I strongly suggest you take the time to watch it. Awareness is critical so share it with your friends, family, and neighbors. The first step to dealing with a problem is to recognize that the problem actually exists.
