INFLATION vs DEFLATION vs PEAK OIL
ALL THREE ARE COMING, BUT WHEN AND WHY?
The show:
Two Beers With Steve — 05 Jul 2010
Nicole Foss (a.k.a. Stoneleigh) has come up with one of the best analyses we've heard on which is the bigger threat: global energy constraints (especially peak oil) or the money system (especially the derivatives bubble); and within the latter, which is the more likely scenario, serious inflation or crushing deflation?

GP Comment:
"Inflation vs deflation vs peak oil" is the Gordian knot that has kept collapse wonks jabbering aplenty over the last 2-3 years. But Foss slices into the problem with her Ginsu-sharp mind and clear way of explaining things. Must-listening! You can also hear a
presentation
Foss gave at a recent Transition Town gathering.
P.S....
That mysterious tipster who Steve says put him onto Nicole and her excellent, brain-changing information was none other than yours truly!

Using that as a starting point, John Pilger talks about the broad war on investigative journalism, whistleblowing, and truth telling being executed by the government, corporations, and the MSM.

Major Ed Dames: Remote Viewing Predictions — 29 Jun 2010 — Dames, who retired from the military's remote viewing programs but is still active in the field today, offers predictions covering the next few years, including:
- The oil will keep flowing from the Deep Horizon breach into the Gulf of Mexico for a loooong time, eventually "killing" the Gulf. A major evacuation is coming.
- Israel will attack Iran, an action the US wants as a last-gasp economic stimulus from its unrecoverable financial situation.
- The US will default on its debt and, in the long run, is through as an empire.
- The "solar kill shot" will not be a single emission from the sun but rather a series of violent solar flares that will grossly heat the earth's atmosphere, especially along certain latitudinal belts, causing deadly problems with water and crops. A temporal marker will be the space shuttle being forced down by a meteor shower (or some similar event).
