"These people" are not tied to the United States? So so are they, exactly? George Bush is looking forward to becoming President of Texas after the USA balkanizes?

The US Federal Reserve wants to bankrupt the US?

Getting a grip peak oil is nutty enough. The rest isn't making any sense, even as a story. I mean it's interesting (thanks for posting it) but phew!

====================
Is the federal government interested in 'saving' anything?

No. I believe that the policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve and the Bush administration — especially in regard to the foreign trade deficit, the U.S. budget deficit, the pricing of the dollar and the exportation of American manufacturing jobs — show one intent and one intent only, which is bankrupting the United States. I predict major economic collapse in this country.

Why would the U.S. government want to do that?

First of all, these people are not tied to the United States.

Very interesting post. I especially like his analysis of the geopolitical situation, and his belief in how things will shake out with Japan, China, and Britain is thoughtful.

What will the US bloc be in 30-50 years, after the debt collapse? A fractured US? I'm thinking more and more that at least the US could split into several pieces:
The Evangelical South
A Northeast traditional US maybe with some Canadian provinces
California maybe with the west and NW

Some have been writing for many years about a new MexAmerica that would include California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, and some Northern Mexican States. Who knows.

I think we will see some real change though, and Peak Oil will only add to that as you have posted. Nice post.

Stuck on Oil
Michael Ruppert on the messy decline of the oil age

The economy is killing globalization?

Exactly. Geography will determine everything. Korea and ultimately Japan will have to fold into China's sphere of influence. Britain will have to join Europe whether it wants to or not because the only natural gas it can get is from Russia, and it will come through the European Union. Latin America is unifying so rapidly from an economic standpoint you can't believe it. Even from a survival standpoint locally, it's gonna be what's in your neighborhood that's gonna save your life, not the government.
