A little background...

I recently discovered the peak oil crisis through a documentary that I recently viewed after remembering that I first saw it's trailer months prior while browsing the trailers page of apple.com.  The film is called "Collapse" featuring Michael C. Ruppert. 




I viewed the film on a whim as I couldn't sleep and felt like delving into something relatively intellectual.  At this point I must admit that I didn't come away from this film with what I expected from it.  I was literally shaken and terrified by what I learned, but also felt the need to begin to do some deep personal researching for myself.  Why?  Well the logic is simple.  What I heard I believe was compelling.  Furthermore, it's much like the analogy, and I'm paraphrasing, that says that it's better to believe in God and later discover he doesn't exist, than to not believe in God and discover he exists and also punishes unbelievers.  In other words, it's better to find out the truth before it's too late.  So my goal is:  1) get a better understanding what the heck Ruppert and many other experts on the matter have concluded, 2) verify if their findings 3) figure out what the heck to do in light of the impending crisis.

So, I have decided to do my research and blog it as I go along.  Why?  I have a strange obsession with "overshare" and journaling my progress with things I tend to passionately devote myself to--even if only for a short time.  Additionally, I hope that my citizen-point-of-view on this very complex issue turns out to be of help to someone out there on this vast virtual world called the internet.

In closing, I will post links to articles and other sources from time-to-time on subjects that I think are related or helps connect the dots as the world moves forward, ever so blindly to this major issue.

I guess that's it for now.
