Peak Oil and Eating Fossil Fuels

Posted by Jahrun Chilam Balam

Well, here it is folks, the long anticipated arrival of 2012, and lots is happening around the world: phenomenal reflections external to us, yet inevitably coming from manifestations and processes that are internal to us as individuals. A synergistic collective of I's having vastly different degrees of empathy, ego, and ultimtely, chosen actions or inactions.


Way back at the end of 2003, I discovered an article titled "Eating Fossil Fuels" by Dale Allen Pfeiffer on www.fromthewilderness.com - a website then operated actively by Michael Ruppert. Shortly afterward, Ruppert was set-up by his then girlfriend, his office was ransacked, his equipment was destroyed, and so was his health. Ruppert left the country to find primitive amnesty and left his website pretty much as it was then. He has since returned to the U.S. and has produced "Collapse", what some might call a docu-drama invterview movie, featuring Michael Ruppert. You might be able to watch it here: 



Clearly, this article that I share with you here had a profound effect on Ruppert, as well as the power elite organizations who were becoming upset because they want the public to remain asleep to the grave truths concerning the intimate relationship of population-food-water-oil and the shortages that are suddenly here. Worse yet, the media has stimulated arguments, staged on both sides of the issues, in order to keep people bickering, as if over a pro wrestling match. Whatever works to get people's attention to continue imprisoning them. Hopefully this information can help to free you a little more.

I have read Dale Pfeiffer's Eating Fossil Fuels article several times over the years since, and I read it again most recently last week and spent this last week reading and reviewing charts, presentations and lecture content. I finally got my whole awareness around it. I always understood the implications from a pragmatic perspective. I got my head around it from the start, and in many ways has been used as a key factor in my desicions to restructure my life and find safe haven to preserve my genes and memes. But only now, a real permeating fractal has beamed into me, the Big Picture tying all of the other world events, truth movements, wars, militarization, growing police state, FEMA Camps fracking (hydraulic coal-seam gas fracturing), Alberta tar sands, offshore drilling, financial scams, GMO's, land grabs, media and Internet control, chemtrails, vaccines, fluoride, and countless eugenics programs, HAARP, expansion of microwave networks, mind and emotion control, well and of course the media and their TV, TV and more TV. Ever travel to 3rd world countries where people have practically nothing except cell phones and TVs mounted at the top of every wall, where they stand mouth agape.


In an upcoming video on my Inside Jah Vimeo channel (and YouTube), and particularly for those aspiring to the expansion of consciousness, I plan to discuss an excitingly positive overlay to all the frightening lines on all those charts, like Net Hubbard Curve, Oil Well Depletion, Population Growth, Oil Demand Growth, Water Depletion, Grain Deficits, Food Costs, and Time. We're in a lot of trouble folks. Experts are saying things like "The party's over." and "We're toast." Not sure of the title for my video yet, since my original idea has greatly expanded and infiltrated the density of the matrix since while living in my PJs this last week, researching and contemplating. So please subscribe and you'll receive the notice when I post it. In the meanwhile, please take some time to review the article and some of the recommended resources below.


One might really stop to wonder why major grassroots pundits, like Alex Jones, for instance, are not shouting about this? Thank goodness for Vandana Shiva, Chris Martenson, Lester Brown, Nicole Foss, Lidsey Williams, James Howard Kunstler, Bill McKibben and a host of others who are speaking clearly and intelligibly on these critical central issues.

Adopted and proclaimed by General Assembly resolution 217 A (III) on
10 December 1948

On December 10, 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights the full text of which appears in the following pages. Following this historic act the Assembly called upon all Member countries to publicize the text of the Declaration and "to cause it to be disseminated, displayed, read and expounded principally in schools and other educational institutions, without distinction based on the political status of countries or territories."

PREAMBLE

Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,

Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,

Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,

Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations,

Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in
larger freedom,

Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,

Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge,

Now, Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.

Bush Lies

Posted by Jahrun Chilam Balam

Bush lies big and Bush lies small.
Bush lies to Congress,
Bush lies to us all.
Bush lies about taxes,
Bush lies about war.
Bush lies are deadly to Americans and more.

Bush has pioneers,
Bush has his rangers,
but to his dead soldiers,
Bush is a stranger.
Bush doesn't apologize,
Bush doesn't say why.
Bush just covers it up with another Bush lie.

Bush has other liars, for instance Condalezza.
Have we been neo-conned just to please her?
Heathcare's not important, or couldn't you tell,
Bush thinks the elderly should all just get well.
Terrorists are here and terrorists are there,
Axis of evil, Bush gives a blank stare.
Bush says we'll get 'em, and "we're on the look"
America might be safer if Bush could just read a book.

Bush has to hurry, Bush has to be quick
Before too many wise-up to the Bush trick.
Bush lies make his friends richer,
Bush lies make us poor.
He'll know the truth when we show him the door.
America needs leaders, let's make the right pick.
America has had enough of Bush and of Dick.

Bruce Kelton's Article to Poulsbo News

Posted by Jahrun Chilam Balam


A patriot loves his country, not its government. The truth is that it is the protesters, it is the dissidents, it is the millions of peaceful marchers and citizens here at home on American soil who fight the honorable fight each day to defend our liberties. The best way to defend and keep your rights is to exercise and use them. The demonstrators are making sacrifices, they are risking injury from an increasingly threatening and deliberately unaccountable police state, they risk their personal liberty, safety and even their very lives to speak out in defense of our liberties and our Constitution. They deserve our highest respect and protection.

The truth is, every American citizen supports our country and defends our liberties right along side our military each day by working hard, living within the law, producing the goods and services we all depend on, and exercising our Constitutional rights. Every fireman, every plumber, every carpenter, everyone is sacrificing every day, some risking their lives as well. We sacrifice when our pockets are picked by a regime increasingly willing to transfer more of our dollars to an increasingly wealthy few, a non-working class. We sacrifice when there is not enough money for our schools and decent health care for every American because our hard earned tax dollars are appropriated to build weapons of mass destruction, to wage unjust war and to provide bribes to coerce the rest of the world to support us. We sacrifice when our leaders make us less safe by inflaming hatred against Americans and then offering us duct tape and plastic sheets to protect ourselves. We sacrifice when our government commits terrorism in our name. We sacrifice each time our government kills in our name. We sacrifice when our government becomes arrogant and acts as if it were above the law.

Yes we all sacrifice. In return, all we expect and demand from our leaders, to whom we grant our enormous power, is that they serve us and not rule us. This why we became America in the first place. Although it is doubtful he ever knew it to begin with, Mr. Bush has apparently forgotten his place. Our government apparently has forgotten it's place as well but it should have known better. When our government is committing unjustified, immoral acts, when our government itself threatens the very freedoms we all live, fight and die for, when our government stops listening to us and starts lying to us, it is our duty as Americans to speak out. It is our duty to protest. It is our duty to do whatever it takes to defend our country. Only a fool could doubt the patriotism and honor of that sacrifice.
