Just as I’m coming to grips with the revelation that my Raprican-American buddy, Blognigger was a ventriloquist dummy for a borscht beltin’ wisenheimer, I discover, horror of paranoid horrors, that Mike Ruppert is back.
Just as I’m coming to grips with the revelation that my Raprican-American buddy, Blognigger was a ventriloquist dummy for a borscht beltin’ wisenheimer, I discover, horror of paranoid horrors, that Mike Ruppert is back. And he’s caught me on the rebound.
Ruppert’s spellbinding conspiracy talk is manna to my time wasting gene. The Illuminati, ZOG, the Church of the Subgenius, even the Rosicrucians, of which I’m a member though I’ll never admit it personally, are the cosmic triggers of fairy tale. Mysterious Jacques de Molay types, no different from Jesus or Allah, the NY Yankees or a wise cracking niggah from Park Slope, are the perfect hero / villains for icing cuckoo cakes. They make us wish we were in on the secret and that, my friends, is the key to marketing. Ruppert is selling exactly that conspiratorial Kool-Aid in the new movie “Collapse” and it’s a cocktail tailor-made for the playful and paranoid alike.
Just as Jim Goad has me considering reading aloud from Mein Kampf in public, Ruppert will leave you floundering about the coming anarchy, peak oil, and the odds you can outrun a bear. While the plausibility that the masters of Atlantis are pulling the strings of the world is dependent on your own hardwiring, I’m just praying the master is not a guy name Benjamin.
Thanks Trace.
Peak oil is scary fucking shit. The world is doomed, so on, so forth…
umberto eco wrote this book then dan brown gayed it so only makes sense that blognigger, agent mule and jim goad would be in on the plan to bring down gavin.
total sucker for this stuff. its a weird mix of scoffing at these ridiculous claims while a little part of the brain shits itself in fear. the interesting part is that both reactions are based on wanting to be superior, either by disagreeing with somebody who seems to have strong arguments or by secretly agreeing with crazy secret plots that most of the world is unaware of. fascinating.
i love the mythology, the paranoia, the bullshit, the modern fairy take gone awry
the whole fuckin thing is awesome
whether its true or not is completely beside the point
he probably thought y2k was the end of the world too
How can anyone make claims about “peak oil” when no one has even the SLIGHTEST idea how much oil is truly left on the planet.
And are we forgetting about the ridiculously large stockpile the U.S. (not to mention others) has in reserve? Everyone knows that the only reason trucks/planes/cars/etc are run on oil is to keep oil a valuable commodity; large machinery involved in manufacturing/processing is admittedly another story. Bottom line, the mail will get there, planes will fly, people will drive, etc.
p.s. If this guy is absolutely brilliant in hindsight, and since he didn’t seem to make a dime of all the economic trends he predicted, he better sell some tickets to this pile of shit
no need to worry, mac from sunny in philly is going to protect us from danger.
Shit like this and Alex Jones makes me crazy.
should i still be worried about Y2K? Thanks Trace.
Here’s a question. Robert Dobbs, Jr. appears to be quite an outspoken and opinionated fella. Where’s he in this whole fray? Is he in some pot-induced coma? Jail like the rest of the blacks? Afghanistan?
Where’s Dobbs, huh?
MORE EDGAR BURNS PLEASE!!!!!
I’m just glad he didn’t croak like Joe Vialls or Sherman Skolnick. True or not, I am mostly amused by what people will entertain or not based on their investment/attachment in/to what they believe their world IS.
Flu shot anyone (swine)???
When Blognigger said “Ever look at a serious Muslim woman walking with her 4 kids and think, ‘you’ve had a dick in you at least 4 times,’it made me laugh but when Michael Ruppert said “If you’re in a camp and bear attacks, you don’t have to be faster than the bear, you only have to be faster than the slowest camper,” I realized that’s probably how the Muslim woman knocked up the first place. She was the slowest one out of the camp when the Taliban attacked. Need to brush up on Jim Goad because there must be a way to somehow work Hitler into this equation.
Most of us are young enough (except Gavin) to see the coming oil decline and the whole shitstorm that will follow.
@Sal: and some of us are old enough to be lucky enough to die before the (well-deserved) shitstorm. Two words: Petroleum wars. Oh wait…already started.
I heard that the blognigger was in barcelona hiding out
I can’t wait until oil runs out. It’ll be a badass post-apocalyptic type zombie movie kind of world.
I’m going to make one of these chainsaw guns and ride it out.

Just saw it. Trace is right. Move to Alaska now!
@emir : fucking agreed! (and huysmans before eco).
Couldn’t you guys hire Stockbauer to be the new blognigger ghost writer? He has a great feel for ethnics and loves mixing business with pleasure.
Harmonic Convergence….. bring it back & Mr. Crutchfield is a literary Godsend.
Must get Trace book deal. Out of Sheer Rage meets Cocaine Nights.
New age Nostradamus! Lol
Trace has an apocalypse fetish? Stick to brunettes sir, they put out more. Societies don’t really collapse they just break down into smaller more manageble bits. Anyhow, what’s so bad with Harley’s, guns, chicks in leather bikinis and lots of explosions? It’s like a fun Texas without the death penalty.
Blognigger was actually a Black Ops designed th teach Park Slope that slopes can’t drive
Words to live by Street Carnage: Evolve or perish. Grow up or die.
Went and saw Collapse today at the Angelika. Ruppert is an effective trip but good fucking grief what a buzzkill. You’d think by now I’d know better than to take my own advice. I walked back to Brooklyn afterward,stopping only at the Church of Most Precious Blood in Little Italy to hedge my skeptical bets. Oddsmakers?
Ohio is not where it’s at?
Too many Zombies here.
” … cosmic triggers of fairy tales.” …. indeed.
@sal
what is your chainsaw choad going to run on when the oil runs out?
THis mo fo it right on! I can’t wait for things to get a little fucked up!
You think the oil situation is bad just wail til the toilet paper runs out.
I rarely get everything I want. Therefore the implosion of Western society will likely have to wait until my ashes are cut into a kilo baby laxative and Noriega. I’ll keep hoping, though.
Unfortunately, it’s difficult to shake the positive outlook of a mastermind like Buckminster Fuller. Spend an afternoon with “Utopia or Oblivion” (1969) and you’ll quickly realize it’s still just the witches, and not the pot being stirred, that’s the problem.
Greasers.
In the mid-50′s, M King Hubbert successfully predicted a continental US production peak to occur in the late 60′s/early 70′s. Sure enough, in 1970, domestic production in the lower 48 peaked at ~10 million barrels per day (mbpd) and began an irreversible decline. The US currently produces ~6 mbpd. Peak Oil theorists are trying to apply the same technique to the globe’s production curve.
If you believe petroleum is a fossil fuel then it follows that there will be a global production peak at some point. Many believe we are at or very near that point.
As far as calamity goes, consider that the US makes up 5% of the world population yet consumes 25% of the daily global production of oil. Americans use ~21 mbpd, 15 of which is *imported*. Our strategic reserve/stockpile has enough oil for 60 days at our current consumption rate.
Two thirds of the world’s oil is controlled by OPEC and most of that can be found in the Middle East. It’s really no wonder that we give a shit about the happenings over there.
Petroleum is the most energy dense and practically applicable natural resource we know. Without gasoline and diesel to run farm equipment and petrochemical fetilizers and pesticides, some estimate that the planet could only grow enough food for 1.5 billion people.
Grab some context and decide for yourself. Both of these are very well done documentaries on Netflix:
A Crude Awakening – The Oil Crash
The End of Suburbia
We’re all sooooo fuck’d anyways Why bother guessing about anything now!?!?!
