  • Obama is bad anyway. I'm literally scared.. Should I buy ammo?

  • This guy is one of the most intelligent on youtube. Thanks for making these video. At least there are some people out there that are still rational.

  • how is investing in silver better than gold?

  • & everyone is blaming Obama for EVERYTHING, when it was going to happen regardless!

  • You need to get saved so the truth becomes more valuable than the beautiful appearance of your opinions. ie FACT: The Socialist countries collapsed bringing money to wall Street. Not what you said: the peasants turned to socialism and scared the rich off to America. Once Jesus leads you, you will get real and stop dragging long twisting lies down the street. Your talk drips with self importance. Bless you. I'm praying for you.

  • APMEX.......do it

  • I guess you were wrong then, you are wrong now. It's a world problem now

  • This young man has something of noble background...for sure. Bravo!, your healthy attitude is contagious....!

  • I like this guy

  • Heres an suggestion:

    Drop the frickin' economy for small period as we can start to rebuild our world.

    The main reason to why countries like Africa is poor is because of the economy, now people are dying, starving, killed and raped everyday there because we are to lazy to just drop the economy and help other countries out.

  • why is this person talking

    i am so upset right now

  • Fiat currencies protect the smaller individuals within a clan. If we all carried gold around it would be harder to fight crime. And this protects those who are weaker, like your mum or baby sister, so you should align yourself here. Only a wanker would be against paper money. So the system is a securities based one. Always has been, this trend will continue. Smart people... like bankers and hackers get these things. If you had a vault, What would you put in it?

  • anybody with a brain and minimal economic knowledge knew this was coming. I predicted this back in 2004 while working as a real estate agent. read the trumpet article also written back in '04 By Fred Dattolo "The Biggest Bubble Ever". He breaks it down real nice.

  • Basics: *****The West's (USA, CANADA, one I care about) economy will collapse but not because 'Babyboomers need support' once they retire - but because our countries will be too poor to support them - whereas we could have easily supported our relatives "if" we had not allowed our politicians to allow our Corporations to ship all of our jobs overseas. Simple. Basic. True.  *************A country that ceases to manufacture goods (stops making stuff) IMPLODES, fails.

  • I do think that American peoples being obsessed with having large penises is adequately explained by them becoming less ethical.

  • Socialism = Creationism

    Keynesian Economics = Intelligent Design

    Austrian Economics = Evolution

    watch?v=MnekzRuu8wo

    watch?v=EgMclXX5msc

    Don't be fooled. Vote Ron Paul 2012.

  • Just wondering, when was the golden age of America's morality.

  • Finally someone who gets it,

    That's why I don't vote republican anymore.

    1.They're the outsourcing party.

    2.They're the peak oil deniers and do nothing for future energy needs.

    3.Block any milage standards

    4.Heath care blockers Single payer makes common sense to me,Why? Everyone pays, because 50% on the highest users will already be on medicare in ten 10 years, by adding what is payed to insurance private companies, premiums by the lowest users should actually make cost go down.

  • @mrgetrealpeople Anyone who knows anything about economics, especially the current economic collapse that has just been prolonged would never in there craziest mind-set, EVER vote for healthcare.

    the US owes 700% of its whole gdp! (inc unfunded liabilities)

    you will be in the equivilant of the great depression very soon, but i doubt you will believe me. so when it does happen, remember. i told you so.

  • ive got a question, why are petrodollars good for the us?

  • on the subject of china and our lack of production of goods. the us economy is making a bubble in the bond market as we speak to hide the negative effects our economy is having by only consuming and not producing . when that bubble pops i think it will be the last draw for the us economy. there will be no other bubbles to blow to hide our reckless spending and the us will have to do something to actually fix the problem instead of hiding it.

  • Very informative and researched. But how can you measure culture decline ? Thats a very subjective topic.

  • fukidol

  • @chiswickchiropractor People need to realise this video is almost 3 years old.

  • Lorax ! I enjoy your videos. I'm in complete agreement with you.

    But, be aware that our political-economic system is based on intangibles of Hope, Faith & Trust. If you do too complete a job of bursting those 3 bubbles, our 'system' will likely unravel even faster. Yes, Peak oil is real issue, but also an insolvent suburbia, and 50% dead-weight human population.

    Also, too many sacred cow industries.

  • Warren Buffett said..."You can't be against the United States and win" He said that no matter what, the United States will not get crushed to the point of no return. I think he's right. No way we are going to be a ghost country.

  • I have scaled back got rid of my TV / no pay-per-view (bored watching cheating sportsmen) / no cell phone (no more talking useless shit !!) / didn't really need my car - wow no difference, my life is still shit its just costing me a lot less and its great not getting so many bills any more !.

  • Most Americans are not ready, mentally, physically or emotionally. If it starts to go bad it could spiral down very fast.

  • @aodonnell51 --You are right. Most humans everywhere are not ready !

  • Our progressive evolution is dependent upon the collapse of our current society with the opportunity of rebuilding a new world based on sustainable foundation that is in harmony with the plantet. Only with complete transparancy wiil we be able to chart a more viable future for humanity. Quantum physics emphasizes a fundamental truth the" observer creates the world". Once we share the planet as ONE HUMAN COMMUNITY IN COOPERATION can the entire population make history consciously.

  • I just noticed that you did this one a year ago. Well, in this video, you know not what you are saying.

  • The US is bankrupt.The world is bankrupt.PIIGs are coming down.The market will go down soon.Who knows trends better?You of the Trends Research Institute.Celente has been forecasting for 35 years.Gold to silver has usually been 1 to 17, it is now 1 to 66, because JPMorgan has been manipulating the silver market with naked shorts.CFTC is not investigating.So silver is a fantastic buy.Cash is trash when the coming depression is hyper inflated.

  • Fiat money cannot last without gold backing. We lost gold backing in 1971. Fiat money will continue to loose value and hardly ever lasts more than 40 years. Our debt has now surpassed $13T & will soon be $14T to 100%GDP. After that it will go into a debt super cycle. This debt does not include Freddie/Fannies debt of $6.3T. So the real debt is now $19.3T. This does not include $60T of unfunded liabilities such as SS, Medicare, etc. This brings our total obligations to $79.3T

  • @nld1960 --what can we do about it ? Should I sell or keep for trading my silver jewelry which together weighs about five pounds?

  • @durgaaa Make sure you have 1yr supply of food.Guns and ammo for protection.

    Whatever money you have buy some gold(24K)and a lot of silver.Silver will soon be worth so much

    I buy from APMEX, they are great. Your jewelry, if your jewelry is gold(24K), and 5 pounds, it could be worth $100,000.

    Follow experts on the coming collapse. It is starting now because gold is going up, the dollar down.

    You can send me note and I can give you more info.

    The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.

  • @nld1960. Gold and Silver will be a bubble just like any other investment. When the U.S. gets back on track and we become a manufacturing mecca once again, your gold investments will be worth a 1/4th of what they're worth today. When that "bubble" comes, you better be ready to unload that gold in a hurry.

  • @JSAautomotive I ask you, how will the US pay for 14Trillion @ 100% GDP Just like I mentioned above.If gold will be worth 1/4 of what is is worth today, then so is everything else.That is how gold works.It is not used. Silver is used, but held down by JP.Morgan who is shorting the market.Silver has over 10,000 uses & is a bi-product.Most of the easy(top soil)silver has been mined.JP Morgan is going before the CFTC so they cannot short. What does that tell you?You tell me?

  • @JSAautomotive Where do you get your info about the gold bubble.The real experts and billionaires don't think so. They are buying tons of it.Chinese don't think so.

    How do we pay 14thousand million.No one has an answer, but you do.

    How do we get those jobs back?Tell me.Those jobs are private manufacturing who hire overseas slaves to do their work for nothing.First you have to cut greed, then you have to make the US citizens quit buying cheap crap from WalMart.Then we have to cut spending by 60%

  • @nld1960 Walmart is a pathological and immoral Company that makes you buy from anyone but your fellow Americans ...go to Value Village to thrift shops buy antiques recycle things that shouldn't go in the trash give to the poor in your communities so NO ONE IS FORCED TO SHOP AT WALMART!!

  • @togwm You can call them what you want, but there is one in my very rural area and like all the others, they hire massive amounts of people who would be without work otherwise. They hire people with disabilities that no one else wants to hire. People that cannot walk or talk, in wheel chairs. People with mental problems. I don't care how disabled someone is, they will find something that they can do. They hire more disabled persons than any other company.

    Because of WM, a lot of Chinese work

  • @togwm i like wal mart i but stuff for cheap

  • @togwm NO ONE IS FORCED TO SHOP AT WALMART!! That's true, but nothing is made here, because of the Walmart effect.That's the point , retailers decide on what to carry and you don't have a choice of American made goods anymore. Because all retailers had to compete with Walmart. That's the point you're missing

  • Referring to what you said, I just want to ask...I think US is still produces a lot of agriculture stuff. And also US is the major producer of show biz, blockbusters and pop songs, isn't that a big chunk of the US economy for the world?

  • During last days I have been think more clearly, that the more poor people are, the more they buy cheap products and the more unhealthy food they eat. It cannot be in the interests of the firms either in the other countries(in form of taxes). So who pulls the strings of firms and politicians, that this happens?

  • so you traveled forward in time to 2010 then went back to 2007 and talked about the euro, housing market bubbles and ore? nice. HOW THE FUCK DID YOU DO IT?! haha

  • It has been a huge Joy to fire all my employee's ( Ungrateful Spoiled Rotten Brats who feel they are owed for breathing. ) and shift the Jobs to India.

  • @MyITRcom, congratulations to you!!!!! If I have a company I would hire foreigners, no one is lazier and more spoiled than the American Workers.

  • @MyITRcom Karma! ...it'll get you every time!!

  • Third or Second World America ???

  • This is a great video!

  • I'm so happy to have found your channel.

    If you've not seen "stefbot" 's channel - I ask you to please check him out because I think you both would make a KILLER team, or at least a talk with both of you would be terribly interesting for the rest of us.

  • Dude, you predicted the collapse and it happened exactly 1 year after you predicted it would! YOU are pretty good my friend, pretty impressive indeed.

  • has not happened yet, more to come

  • =You hit the nail on the head 3 years ago. Thats amazing!

  • I like this guy's opinion...

  • What's wrong with your attitude?

  • Every reason he gave for our economic collapse which occurred shortly thereafter was wrong. EVERY ONE. Oil didn't spike because of it's peak or drop immediately after because of that either. Financial markets and greed... that's what he missed and that's what set off our recession. The only things he got right were the real estate bubble which was obvious and over by then and the fact that countries would collude to prop-up/support a major currency in collapse. But all of his REASONS were wrong.

  • Everyone who's hording gold are in for a major disappointment this guy right here didn't mentioned any gold why? Gold will be the first metal for the Elite to crash and the devaluation of gold will bring the market down.

  • All types of hording will be punished in what is to come, no matter of it is gold, silver, food, water or any other commodity.

  • this guy is spot on made this vid in 2007

    5 stars mate

  • What video states that gold is not ethical?

  • I don't know personally

    but there is much slave labor in countries like Uganda to obtain the smallest amount of gold

    so if human rights are a concern, then gold from a strip mined 3rd world country supports that slave trade.

    There is no way for a broker of gold to tell where it comes from, AFAIK

  • So what you are saying in other words is using paper money that transfers wealth from people that do not understand the system to the people that do is a better way.

    The harm done to the planet thanks to ever expanding debt is 10000000x more harmful than mining for gold. Our paper money system is the cause of poverty around the world as the poor man can never save it to make a better life for himself.

    PAPER MONEY IS BEYOND UNETHICAL IT IS GENOCIDAL.

  • no, and I completely agree with you about paper money ponzi schemes

    did you take a look at my channel? :)

    I was merely trying to answer whether anything unethical was tied to gold.

  • I'm in favor of getting rid of disability, YEAH! WHO'S WITH ME!

  • Yeah great idea! We'll just start culling them at birth so they don't burden society. Clearly anyone who can't contribute to the economic machine has no value to society and deserves to die or rot on the street.

    Heil Hitler, jackass.

    Nice vid lorax, very interesting to watch two years on.

  • Great video and peak oil is real.

  • I am the Lorax I speak for the trees! Hell yeah he didnt mention that it was all engineered by greedy men but I dug this video.

  • Investing in the Euro is a mistake. Little east European countries are up to their eyeballs in debt.

    I think Ireland, Latvia, Greece and Spain may be the first to go pop.

    I think I read that Germany and Sweden are big lenders to them.

  • there are plenty of oil, you are wrong about that

    ...the baby boomers and the manufacturing is right, ethics is big time...

    you think too much about oil, some of the theories are facts some are fiction

    I heard some similar predictions from the 70's

  • YOU ARE FUCKING PHSYCIC

  • right on...peak oil...bommers...and also revolution among the coming generations...who will not buy this system...that decline of culture will lead to revolt on a massive scale...and it will involve everyone...the retired peple will loose their comforts....for sure...inflation, collapsing dollar...etc.

  • Prophetic!

  • Good God!! Buy gold and then you have given the illuminists every thing you own for if gold truly is still going to be the"shit" for a real currency they most certainly will just force you to return it under the guise of stablising the dollar or Amero or new world ordero or whtaever the hell they call the next enslavement currency. Why waste your time exchanging anything of currencty. Don't you know that all of anything of value is predestined for Rothschild?

  • Another important point which is not mentioned in trend evaluation is the explosive exponential growth in population. This is putting an incredible stress on all systems (monetary, environment, culture, wealth creation, etc). Most of the world population is poor and cannot afford to buy the goods produced by advanced countries.

  • excellent!! i agree with all of it except for the peak oil illusion.. oils replacement are already close to a century old and suppressed... Bogus shortages allow for price gouging

  • great insight!  the only thing you overlooked was a housing bubble.

  • There has never been a housing bubble, the whole scam about sub-prime has been used as a scapegoat for other bigger economic problems in the system. The money given to the banks could have bough almost all the bad loans/debt from the sub-prime, still the money was not used for this. Hence sub-prime cannot be a source for problem in the economy.

    You also have to look at what could happen if we get disturbances in the economic system.

  • Though the housing bubble is not the source of all the problems, it was definitely blown. Basically in 2000 Bush administration did not allow the recession to take place by lowering the rates and passing other incentives. And by bubble I do not mean just sub prime.. sub prime is just a tip of the iceberg, the one that came to light first. Now majority of foreclosures are not sub prime, and the next wave that will peak @ '11 is also mostly regular borrowers that took out ARMs and similar loans.

  • What you perceive as a housing bubble is in fact a derivatives bubble. If the loans would have been kept by the banks and not sold as structured products it would never have burst! Selling SP loans made it possible to leverage SP loans, this made it possible to buy loans at a fraction of their price, but it had the downturn that only a few loans had to fail for the whole scam to be exposed. This is the source of the SP bubble, SP can therefore be derived from the derivatives market debacle

  • semantics...... It has all been designed to keep the beast going.. people had the illusion of false wealth/equity and thus borrowed and spent it all a temporary solution and has to collapse on its own weight, its built on flawed foundation, i.e. pyramid scheme.

  • just look at the prices. first result in ggle

    copy/paste:

    Real Estate / Median Home Prices Inflation Adjusted

  • The lack of understanding is the geopolitics of it all. All the long winded explanations is showing a total lack of complete knowledge. There's a lot more than bullets in a war! Open your EYE"S!

  • Americans today believe in something for nothing and vote accordingly. Our gov't is now intervening in and running the economy and "markets" like they run everything else. The rule of law has been dismantled as far as they are concerned.

    OUT OF CONTROL

    Power and wealth are sufficiently concentrated now to crush any opposition to the powers.

    The baby boomer wave cannot all be winners. Math and history say they will be losers.

    We serve our gov't now. Control is their focus. 1984 is here.

  • youre very good.

  • Definitely a topic worth following and discussing indepth... more like running helter skelter into a hornet's nest.

    Just remains to be seen in whose hands the transfer of wealth will be heading into.

    Common sense tells me it's not Mr. Average Joe!

  • YOUR SPOT ON PAL !

  • Invest in porn

  • Invest in precious metals.

    a nice loaded Glock!

  • The real china syndrome as the dollar melts down.

    Get in on the ground floor now.

    Move to Shanghai before the rush!

    Onward thru the toxic sludge!

  • you're videos are great. but could you make a video on the conspiracies surrounding secret societies controlling world events. i want to hear your opinion on the plausibility of these ideas because you seem very open minded.

  • the one thing you failed to notice or maybe mention, is the fact that this economic collapse is planned. Depressions cause a shift of wealth into fewer hands. a small group of people will benefit from this depression and the gap between the rich and the poor will be the biggest we've ever seen. you have a very good understanding of how things work but i'm surprised that you haven't mentioned the Illuminati. of course, this is just my opinion and i am 17 so i tend to simplify things for myself.

  • Don't focus on whether or not there is or is not a secret society. Fishing, how to skin game, what crops grow well in poor soil...THESE are things you need to concentrate on. After all, we're little guys, so even if the Illuminati held a news conference, it doesn't change our reality one bit after the dollar collapses.

  • Also on a serious note. Try kicking your videos off with some hard core 70's rock music or music videos with a big titted blonde in it.

  • Good job Lorax. But im picturing you and this video in a penthouse-ish background and a big titted blonde behind you as your assistant and translator.

  • I like your videos I learn a lot, I like to practice music, yoga,running..and learning, that is all I've been doing for 7 years and that is still what I do now during the depression as of march 21 2009

  • You said bolster way to many times. But, interesting video anyway.

  • Peak Oil has not caused economic collapse. The credit crunch has. And it was by design.

  • u were calling this ahead of time for sure

  • This is informative and very interesting points are made and I enjoy viewing you;).thanks:)

  • Another fine vid. I have a feeling a lot of what you say is going to pass, untroubled, thru most peoples ears. But you can only lead a horse to water . . .

  • Yes people, wake up! Turn off American Idol.

  • i love ur vids. ignore those stupid comments ppl left and keep up the awesome vids

  • Thank you for the concientious and informative dialogue!

  • You're going down buddy!

  • NEANAM: By the way! What's your favorite kind of glue! You might want to give that last neuron something to look forward too.

  • Comment removed

  • you right you also might be a tranny from Cuba or somthing if you grown I dont see the logic in LYING on your page what you scared the boogie man going to pay you a visit.... You bout as dumb as a box of rocks.

  • Neanam: You are more ignorant that I thought. #1 - you are assuming that I am of the male gender. #2 - you are assuming that I am from the country indicated in my profile. Both could be true. Both could be not true. I could be a lesbian from Australia and you would never know. Dumb shit!

  • For all the sensitive people dont like what

    I said it was a joke.... Gosh send me your address so I can send some pampers so you can change yourself......make sure you thump baby powder on your wee wee

  • I know I shouldn't cop a superior attitude but I am so sick of the idiots that comment on You Tube that I think I am going to puke.

  • Then don't watch them, it's a free country!

  • NEANAM: I just want you to know that 1+1+1=3.

  • NEANAM: You are mistaken in your perceptions. The look you are perceiving in this gentleman is intelligence, a somewhat incomprehensible concept to your way of thinking. Drink a mass media milkshake, take a Marshall McCluhan suppository and call me in the morning. Better yet, enroll in a good remedial reading class. Even better yet, watch this gentleman's video's and make an attempt to understand them. Holy shit! I'm trying to communicate with an idiot! Whatever possessed me to do that?

  • some good points but you completely missed the main topic,the housing bubble and subsequent mortgage meltdown.I had no idea the US government was handing out these loans to people if they could walk into a bank.Even illegals were getting loans.That's the breakdown of american culture you were talking about.

  • this guy look like a pedophile

  • neanam, I didn't know pedophiles had a specific look.

  • i really wish cnn had good reporters like you.

  • more videos

  • your videos are great

  • I heard he likes to

    JIZZ IN HIS PANTS

  • LOL: snl, huh?

  • yup :-)

  • peak oil? thats a lie. we have business cycles because rothschild say so and they are highly profitable for them get it right........ get ready the n.w.o. is coming

    the u.s. want war with Iran bottom line

  • That's probably right. Good old Rothschild, Rockefeller, Trilateral Commission, CFR, and last but absolutely not least, The Federal Reserve.

  • I am not sure what you mean by culture? I never thought americans had any. Sorry to tell you dude.

  • Deep Capture and Financial Sense are the best websites out there for no-nonsense thorough information on economic matters.

    Not a pitch, just an FYI.

  • yea, the value of things goes up when the switch over to the black market. bury your gold and guns

  • But I did make an error. I suggested buying gold and silver and had you bought it at $20.00, you'd be in a bad place. I still think its a good idea, especially at these fire sale prices and I expect silver to rebound strongly in the not too distant future. That is just a hunch. Patience is the key. Throw out the fundamentals. Silver could be at $40 by the end of 2009 or it could be at $6.00 It's a gamble!

  • I predicted on this video back at the first of the year that there would be no depression in 2008. Absolutely! Roll back through the comments and you will see. Many people thought I was full of shit. Here we are in Mid November. No depression and gas at $1.99 I hate blow my own horn, but was I right or was I right!!!!!! I should have placed bets. I would be a rich man right now.

  • dude, what are you talking about. The economy is totally fucked! The dollar is just rallying because of all the assets being shook loose by the stock crash. Oil being so low is a HUGE indicator of peak production. Just wait, the lack of investment being propped up by the low prices is going to hit us hard when purdoe bay has to cut production again.

  • there is possible solution check the gcredit project on youtube

  • Your one of the smarter guys i have come across.

  • People are already starving in the streets of the US just not in any of the ones that you walk down.

  • It's not offical till a white man says it!

  • Very informative! Thank you!

  • Instead of lying about his participation in the FannieMae fiasco, I'd like to see Obama explain why he did NOT sign this letter back in 2006, warning about the FannieMae-FreddieMac disaster:

    tinyurl (dot) com/3q6dc9  (fix the "dot," obviously)

    19 Republican Senators signed it.

    Not ONE Democrat signed it.

    Where was Obama?

    or the rest of the Democrats?

  • Fannie and Freddie are a distraction. The cause of the problem is credit default swaps. This is a Republican gift.Don't fall for the housing market as the cause of our problems.

  • When you call your Congressman or Senator about the Bailout, also ask where 2.3 Trillion missing dollars are from the Pentagon. Break their Stones Day & Night. 2.3 Trillion would give every Man, Women & Child $8,000.00 Dollars Each.

    The United States is being Extorted by International Bankers who will drain our Treasury to ZERO, Wake Up People. Don't turn this crisis into mere Entertainment, do something.

    Copy & Paste this message for other people to see

  • i got news for you, the treasury is bankrupt. theyre in the red now, and they are picking up steam! your country is bankrupt. what are you gonna do? what are the solutions? lyndon larouche has some good ideas

  • Can I move to your Country?

    I think the World is Bankrupt, not just the United States. I like Larource and his solutions, but they will never listen to him because they (bankers) have another Agenda.

  • haha you are SO right. although canada is safer than most.. until the troops head north to collect our resources..

    btw, i love your comment about sept. 10/2001

    some of the leaders are coming around to larouche in america. 2 of the transition team asked him questions in his last webcast (which was v.good)

    russia, india and italy are fully behind larouche's firewal, new bretton woods and new peace of westphalia ideas, we just need USA and China on board too. the bankers' world is ending!

  • The Troops will head North if we run out of Oil for your tree's, you have a lot up there. LOL

    Did your hear Ford saying they need 4 billion to stay afloat just for next month? If Washington really wanted to help the people they would lower the Income tax to 10% for all people. Then maybe, just maybe people would shop a little more.

    There is No Way Out of this except for everybody to go bankrupt and Start Over.

  • ur totally right. how about citigroup for 800 billion? they have 40 or 80 trillion in outstanding derivatives bets!

    i heard they could take 100 billion and save every Bad mortgage in the country

  • I helped the people save on heating Oil & Gas.

    I took some of my IRA money and Invested in the United States Oil Fund, I knew it would go way down by doing this because I always lose, but I wanted to help everyone save money.

    I lost a lot on my IRA investment, but I am saving on Heat and Gas for my car. Its sort of like getting a Dividend!

  • I think that helicopter hovering over your house at 4:26 wants you to keep your pie hole closed. Hey but guess what you can have your own room in one of the underground cities we've made in your sector. This little alarm will go off 2 hours before the mass sprayings. You will enjoy a life of reruns, fiber optic sun baths, and soy crumbles. Mmmmm

  • haha sounds like orwell's wet dream.. but so does our reality..

  • I don't think that the economic dooms day will come. Americans are strong and resilient. We will find new ways to progress into the future. The rising cost of fuel is the best thing for the environmental movement towards alternative energies. We can become independent from foreign oil. We only have to change our values and living more frugally which will turn ourselves off of the materialism that has consumed our culture. if we have clothes, shelter and food in our bellies we can be happy.

  • let's not be a fool look at jp morgans chase's statements to nikola telsa who wanted to provide us with alt. energy. why would we go to hydrogren based fuels when anyone with know how can grab a bucket of water and extract it? how do you put a meter on these alt. fuel resources?

  • Right on - when can we ERADICATE ourselves from the names Rockefeller, Morgan, and Rothschild?

  • you shock hydrogen with electricity to get the elements to separate. Hydrogen is a STORAGE, not a source of energy. Renewable energy is not as rosy as many people make it out to be. If you are serious about it then look into two stroke sterling motors. They are high torque low speed, but could be used to turn an air conditioner/refrigerator, and on a large enough scale maybe even a generator (good luck getting the capitol for that). We are going to have to live in a completely new manner. PERIOD

  • PukkPukk - you are a fool. America is a heroin addict, and instead of putting the population into treatment, the powers are trying to find more heroin. Alternative energies? Listen to what twin says below.

  • You seem to just casually mention Peak oil like it's just a matter of fact..No sense arguing with a true beleiver of a model and theory developed in 1956, then grabbed onto by the crooks that started the fleecing back in the 70's when they took the Gold peg off the Dollar..SCAM is what it is..Just like Global warming. This vid is predated a bit, but Irans Oil bourse is up and running, along with two major oil fields found 07/08. russia is drilling wells 40,000ft deep. Aboitic oil?

  • There are no known mechanisms for transferring this internal energy into any secondary energy source. And the chemistry of magma does not compare to the chemistry of hydrocarbons. Magma is lacking in carbon compounds, and hydrocarbons are lacking in silicates. If hydrocarbons were generated from magma, then you would expect to see some closer kinship in their chemistry. - Dale Pfeiffer

  • hey spectrumifs, the dollar has lost tons of value since 1980, so if you figure inflation into the mix, gold should really be 2000 a oz, and may eventually go there.also, if you figure the practical collapse of the dollar, the dow should really be about 7500 instead of 11500, likewise, the dow may go there as well. things are in a un-natural state right now, it is just a matter of when it all starts to unravel. gold is actually a great investment, you will see, one day is will pay off.

  • Oh and besides, if you invest in precious metals or gems, know this:

    Your government (or bankers) can seize it "if deemed neccesary" - I know now that it is so in the USA, and it was done once when they got rid of the gold backing of the dollar, the law is there.

    Probably numerous other "democratic" (what a hoax) countries have the same consept.

    These people will not hesitate to flat out steal people's earned properties.

  • how do they seize it if they dont know where it is

  • Valid question, but at some point you may have to turn these valuables into "bying power" and if there was some decree it may hit you in the head in form of criminal charges, and as I said - the "law of theft" is already in place.

    In 1912 (I think it was) the moneymongers made (forced) people turn in all gold as a step towards making the dollar just a paper note?

  • I agree that if this really happened, you would have no chance of 'openly' turning it into buying power, so it's almost as bad as having it confiscated... except that you still have it. The gold confiscation you talk of was around 1933, but those times have passed and now you can sell gold freely.

    I'm just saying it's better to have it and not be able to use it (for a while, even a very long while) than not to have it at all.

  • I put 'openly' in quotes like that because you would still be able to trade in anything you like in secret, like drug dealers trade quite succesfully in drugs these days.

  • FDR confiscated the gold because it was being used to manipulate the value of the currency (the british neoliberal empire has long controlled the price of gold)

    he created a fixed price for currencies so nobody could destroy the dollar with speculation. FDR was the #1 empire slayer.. others were lincoln, JFK, Franklin etc..
