http://tinyurl.com/yjejm3m Americans generally like to hear good news. They like to believe that a new President will right old wrongs, that clean energy will replace dirty oil, and that fresh thinking will set the economy straight. American pundits tend to restrain their pessimism and to hope for the best. But is anyone prepared for the worst? Michael Ruppert is a different kind of American. A former Los Angeles police officer turned independent reporter, he predicted the current financial crisis in his self-published newsletter From the Wilderness at a time when most Wall Street and Washington analysts were still in denial. Smith has always had a feeling for outsiders in films like American Movie and American Job. In Collapse, Smith stylistically departs from his past films by interviewing Ruppert in a format that recalls the work of Errol Morris and Spalding Gray. Sitting in a room that looks like a bunker, Ruppert recounts his career as a radical thinker and spells out the crises he sees ahead. He draws upon the same news reports and data available to any Internet user, but he applies a unique interpretation. He is especially passionate over the issue of peak oil, the concern raised by scientists since the 1970s that the world will eventually run out of fossil fuel. While other experts debate this issue in measured tones, Ruppert doesnt hold back at sounding an alarm. He portrays a future that resembles apocalyptic science fiction. Listening to his rapid flow of opinions, the viewer is likely to question some of the rhetoric as paranoid or deluded; and to sway back and forth on what to make of the extremism. Smith lets viewers form their own judgments.

  • @libertechnet At first you just seemed ignorant, now I see you are stupid and a really bad engineer

  • A MUST SEE!!!! and yes as it was stated : "Right or Wrong, Prophecy or ParaNoia- it takes up residence in your mind!"

  • @Dstock8106 The more one studies the earth, the more evident its perfect design become and the easier it is to see that an engineer and architect of immeasurable skill was responsible for it.

    The composition of "oil" (a hydrocarbon) is so simple, even how we market its byproducts declares how basic it is (octane, for example, reflects the fuel we burn having only 8 carbon atoms - meaning it evaporates in air in seconds). There are literally oceans of oil below 30,000 feet. We can access it!

  • @Dstock8106 Pick up a baseball and look at it and then look at the earth's mid-ocean ridges. You'll note the similarities. The seams formed by the mid-ocean ridges that circle the entire earth are part of its suspension system. God designed it this way, along with the mantle, to prevent the forces that we'd otherwise experience from causing massive earthquakes. The earth is a giant electrical motor and the EM field essential to our survival requires the design above. Please see next message.

  • @Dstock8106 LOL. Ok, you caught me, I'm stupid :)

    I'm also an engineer (perhaps a stupid one), and I recognize design when I see it. You see, the earth's mantle is like a giant shock absorber. It insulates the floating plates we live on from the forces exerted by the counter-rotating mass of semi-liquid metal that moves around its iron core - that creates the EM field that protects us from our own sun. Oil in unending amounts is produced in the mantle. Please see my next message.

  • @libertechnet You're stupid :D

  • @Dstock8106 Oil is abiotic and is produced in the earth's mantle. Oil is not a "fossil" fuel, and governments around the world now know this. "Abiotic seams" have been discovered in the Gulf of Mexico and Russia and another is being explored in the Rocky Mountains (a reserve with over 2 trillion barrels of oil under extreme pressure). There is no peak oil, and certainly no shortage - what there is a lack of is common sense and political will. We need to harvest this oil now!
