Arrival of the Post-Petroleum Human

Peak Moment 196: "Petroleum Man is dead. Infinite Growth Man is dead. Post Petroleum Human is alive," announced Michael C. Ruppert on May 22, 2011. Members of this emerging "species" know they must live in balance with the Earth, while remembering the lessons of industrial civilization. The star and subject of the documentary "Collapse", Mike founded CollapseNet.com in 2010 to empower people to connect and relocalize.

Wow - Ruppert looks nuts in this video. If the "post petroleum human" is a group of people wearing tied-eyes clothes (see background passers-by) with long hair driving Volts in California, I'll take my chances where I'm at spritually, mentally and financially. Christ will guide me holding a lamp at the crossroads to those I can help.

@HerrLT, we need lifeboats and lights everywhere. We taped Mike Ruppert at a Green Living festival in California -- hence the Volt (demo vehicle). The tie-died shirts -- ah, it IS California...

[peakmoment]

@hguyw, this conversation was taped at the Green Living EcoFest in Grass Valley, CA. That Volt was being shown at the festival. We were as surprised as you were! Serendipitous indeed. ~ Janaia

MCR, you look like a crazy person. Get a haircut and lose the hat.

Before diagnosing Japan as mortally wounded a mere 3 days after one of the biggest tsunamis known hit the entire northwest coast of Japan, Ruppert should have waited to see how ten's of thousands of volunteers from around Japan went up to the area (outside the evacuation zone) to clean up. If any country can recover from such a disaster, it's Japan. Look at how many lives were saved because of the preparation and infrastructure of the country. That hasn't disappeared.

@MrMick73 What are you so mean? And why do you bring God into your petty, spiteful replies? Is your God so harsh and cruel that he inspires you to lash out at people who are searching for answers to help them make sense of our crumbling and faltering world?

I must be very lucky to look to god who encourages love and generosity toward other people!

@MrMick73 Direct personal experince of the Imperosnal God or the One Energy that pervades and supports the changing world. The laws of scince are dependant on its existance. Read the Gita or Upanishads...and then take steps to experince what they say for yourself.

[MrMick73]

@DragonflyJaed Well you can thank your parents for Making you and then driving a plastic Oily car then cant you !

[MrMick73]

@ammachi3 ... another one, and wheres your evidence ??? what imbalance in the atmosphere ? I dont see any imbalance in the atmosphere. What imbalance are you talikng about .

[MrMick73]

@ammachi3 well then you full of shit , what evidence do you have to proove GOD's existence ? Only deluded nobodys that cant cope with reality dream about fairies and GODS. Read a science book .

[MrMick73]

@HerrLT LOL a Christ comment. What are you talking about a dead person for. How exactly do dead people guide you , and whatdo you mean by holding a lamp at the crossroads to those i can help ? That doesnt make any sense.

[ammachi3]

@MrMick73 No, that’s not quite accurate...The unrestricted burning of fossil fuels and chiefly burning them in such a short period of time caused catastrophic climate change. If we had managed there use so that they last for say 500 years, say, oil will still have peaked but we may have not upset the balance of the atmosphere with a sudden rush or increase in CO2 and other green house gasses.

@MrMick73 HAHAHAHA...omg some of these comments crack me up, they tickle me pink...ohhhhhhh....they split my side....well they are a little unwarented...don't you think? He does have some very good stuff to say. And how the hell do you know there is not a God. I happen to know there is...so there...have that!!!
