Hi Darffot.

Fair enough. Certainly the science needs to be judged on its own merits.

But I wouldn't necessarily say that the issue is "first and foremost is to ascertain if & when peak oil becomes a mainstream issue". I mean, if one was primarily interested in ascertaining the validity of the peak oil argument, that would be the first and foremost issue.

However, I think it's fair game to speculate as to the potential implications of a peak oil scenario on the important geopolitical events of our time, and to see if it - along the lines of Occam's Razor - provides more elegant and simplified explanataions of the evidence at hand.

I actually don't follow Ruppert's stuff all that closely, but I don't believe he has ever presented himself as a peak-oil scientist. Rather, he is obviously impressed with the peak-oil case and evidence, and uses it to build a case to elaborate on a geopolitical context.

I don't think one approach is necessarily subordinate to the other, but I do agree they are distinct endeavors.

And, if as you put it the "geopolitical caca" does hit the fan, it may not take a genius to realize that there will be hell to pay, but it will have taken a heck of a lot of effort and due diligence by Ruppert and his ilk to make and promote the case of what amounts to a criminal act of treason, conspiracy (as it is legally defined), and multiple crimes against humanity.

Regards,
Glenn
