History Channel: Prophets of Doom

I have been watching the (alternative) news about the economy, peak oil, and the imminent collapse of the American Empire for a long time. This is why my sisters and I left an urban setting to land in a place in which we have more control over our lives. For many years, the collapse of America has been featured only on conspiracy theory blogs, and, more recently, legitimate alternative news outlets.

Tonight, however, marks a change in the consciousness of America. Tonight, the History Channel featured a program called "Prophets of Doom," in which several of the long-standing "conspiracy theorists," that proclaim the end of America is near finally get their voice in the mainstream media.

No large media outlet would produce that type of show if it felt that there was not a grain of truth to the matter.

The History Channel, thankfully, did not much offer much commentary on the opinions of these six people. Instead, it was an interview format, where they could express their opinions. And that they did.

Michael Ruppert spoke of peak oil, and how that would devastate the economy, the nation, and the lives of everyday people. When the oil runs out, there will be no driving, no construction, little production.

Nathan Hagans, who worked at a hedge fund, related how he believes the entire global economy is a Ponzi scheme. When it collapses, we are all in peril, and we may see Weimar-type circumstances.

John Cronin was far more concerned with our availability of fresh, and safe, drinking water. His priority is pollution, but I feel that the corporate grab of water is also a great concern.

James Kunstler believes that peak oil, a bad economy, and other factors will lead to great civil unrest. We will have to live like we did before the Industrial Revolution. There will be no driving 5 miles or 50 miles to get groceries.

Hugo De Garis believes that we are giving too much power to computers, which is odd because he develops artifical intelligence software. He believes that in the 2040's, computers will have the advantage over humans. We may not last that long.

Robert Gleason believes that nuclear weapons will fall into the hands of terrorists, and reduce our nation into a third-world country. I believe terrorism is over-hyped, and that, again, we may not last long enough as a nation to see that.


Overall, it was a great documentary to watch, and I give significant credit to the History Channel for producing it. The first four speakers were the best, in my opinion, and I think they are right on target. Below is a link to the DVD...

Of course, the History Channel will also re-run it, unless it ends up in the memory hole like Jesse Ventura's FEMA camp edition of Conspiracy Theory.

NSA agents admit spying on Americans' private calls

NSA agents admit spying on Americans' private calls

David Murfee Faulk described to ABC's Brian Ross how he had listened to "personal phone calls of American officers, mostly in the Green Zone [in Baghdad], calling home to the United States, talking to their spouses and sometimes their girlfriends."

"Co-workers of mine were ordered to transcribe these calls," Faulk stated. "When one of my co-workers went to a supervisor and said, 'But sir, these are personal calls,' the supervisor said, 'My orders were to transcribe everything.'"

Adrienne Kinne, who like Faulk is an Arab linguist, said she had received the same orders and had listened to hundreds of Americans in the Middle East simply calling home. She emphasized that these were "Americans who are not in any way, shape, or form associated with anything to do with terrorism. It was just personal conversations that really nobody else should have been listening to."

When asked about President Bush's statement that the intercepts were directed only at known al-Qaeda suspects, Kinne stated, "That is completely a lie." She said that military officers, journalists, and Red Cross workers were among the people whose calls she transcribed.

Faulk told ABC that certain calls were even passed around among the intercept operators like office jokes. "I was told, 'Hey, check this out, there's some good phone sex.' ... It was there, stored the way you'd look at songs on your iPod."

Journalists, the Red Cross, and our soldiers. They are the "Terrorists" BushCo is tracking. Those who may dare to have a free thought, an opinion that is not in line with the policies of King George and his criminal empire.

We all knew this was the truth of the NSA spying program...

Further Down The Spiral

Dow plunges 679 for 6th triple-digit loss in a row

GM shares tumble 31 percent to 58-year low

Banks borrow record amount from Fed

New AIG loan renews concerns over insurer's health


The Dow closed at 8579, down over 39 percent from about a year ago. The largest drop in points ever, the largest drop in percentage points since the crash of 1987. Pelosi started mentioning a second bailout the other day, and the Federal Reserve is bypassing banks to loan directly to corporations. There now seems to be a snowball effect going on...

Get your money out of the large banks... There are sure to be more going down...

The S* is hitting the fan...

Major banks are failing left and right...

The 700 billion bailout is failing to curb the economic troubles...

The government and the federal reserve are handing out money like candy to keep the corporations afloat...

All around the world, banks are failing, and a coordinated interest rate cut failed to work...

The 3rd infantry 1st brigade, regular army, is now assigned to the streets of the Fascist States of America, under federal control...

The congress was threatened with martial law in America if the bailout did not pass...

FEMA is prepped and ready for martial law...



Beware... Be Safe... Be Armed...

The Raw Story | US residents in military brigs? Govt says its war

The Raw Story | US residents in military brigs? Govt says its war: "'What you assert is the power of the military to seize a person in the United States, including an American citizen, on suspicion of being an enemy combatant?' Judge William B. Traxler asked.

'Yes, your honor,' Justice Department lawyer Gregory Garre replied."

There it is people, straight from the mouth of the government. If they wish, you can be locked away for years, without charges, without trials, with virtually no hope to be freed, save the government's own pity on you...

Moles Wanted - City Pages (Minneapolis/St. Paul)

Moles Wanted - City Pages (Minneapolis/St. Paul): "What they were looking for, Carroll says, was an informant—someone to show up at “vegan potlucks” throughout the Twin Cities and rub shoulders with RNC protestors, schmoozing his way into their inner circles, then reporting back to the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, a partnership between multiple federal agencies and state and local law enforcement. The effort’s primary mission, according to the Minneapolis division’s website, is to “investigate terrorist acts carried out by groups or organizations which fall within the definition of terrorist groups as set forth in the current United States Attorney General Guidelines.”

Carroll would be compensated for his efforts, but only if his involvement yielded an arrest. No exact dollar figure was offered."

Those violent vegans must be stopped. God forbid they exercise their free speech rights during the Republican National Convention.

Now just remember everyone:

Free Speech = Terrorism
Peaceful Protesting = Inciting A Riot
