You Can’t Handle The Truth!

Not many busy people, working hard to provide for their families will have even noticed the HUGE news that came out this week, but we all should.

This is earth shaking news, this is a confirmation that the world as we know it will be totally transformed within the next 10-15 years and you know what? Your local newspaper will probably not even have mentioned it… You even have to dig for it in the Wall Street Journal.

As a Wall Street trained investment advisor with some very influential clients in Costa Rica, for over twenty years a big part of my work has been studying geopolitics in an effort to quantify how various events could affect my client’s global investments, George Soros – one of the world’s most successful investors – calls this the “theory of reflexivity.”

Not everyone will believe me or agree with me, some of you may think I’m a lunatic and that’s just fine, however, world affairs appear to have reached a dangerous tipping point which has compelled me to share this information with you and I would encourage each of you to investigate these claims for yourselves…

Most people I know do not trust our politicians, our governments, our Prime Minister, even our President. And after the last ten years, why on earth should they?

Deep down people ‘think’ we’re being lied to but they’re not sure and, few people – by design – have the time available to do the necessary homework to discover the truth and, although we think we want to know the truth, as Jack Nicholson screamed in the movie A Few Good Men: “You can’t handle the truth!”

Here’s what I believe to be the truth and then we’ll take a look at why they’re not telling us the truth:

1. The swine flu virus has been manufactured and is designed to keep the population scared and, to soften up the general population for more biological ‘surprises’ which will come in the future. As long as the people are afraid they can be controlled. And conveniently “In case of a nuclear attack or biological event such as the rapid spread of a pandemic of influenza, plague, or smallpox, Federal authorities could force quarantine…” They will likely declare martial law and close all borders.
2. Former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Lord Christopher Monckton believes the real purpose of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen is to use the climate change hype as a pretext to lay the foundation for a one-world government or as George HW Bush would describe it as a: “New World Order.”
3. Clearly we were not told the whole story behind the September 2001 attack on the World Trade Center – is there really anyone left who genuinely believes the official story? The July 2005 London? The 2004 Madrid bombing? Given the government action taken after each of these attacks, many people believe that they were all horrific, false flag operations carried out to create sympathy for the Global War On Terror.
4. Islamofascism, the “Muslim threat” and the Global War On Terror (GWOT) are all outrageous exaggerations to make us believe the danger is far bigger than it actually is…
5. The Patriot Act and Homeland Security were not created to protect you from threats coming from outside the USA, they were created long before September 11th and designed to control you and to secure the powers that be, from domestic threats – that means you!
6. Do you remember that we supposedly sent troops to Afghanistan to kill Osama bin Laden and destroy al-Qaeda? Well they didn’t find Osama did they? And “Although the war in Afghanistan began as a response to al-Qaeda terrorism, there are perhaps fewer than 100 members of the group left in the country, according to a senior U.S. military intelligence official in Kabul…” So tell me again why we need to send another 40,000 troops over there?
7. It is now crystal clear that the Iraq “war” was started based on pure lies, they never had weapons of mass destruction and our politicians knew this all along. Our geopolitical interest in the area is obvious, as our desperate need for their #1 natural resource has become priority number one. I encourage all to read The Grand Chessboard by Brzezinski (a Kissinger disciple and Obama advisor) written 4 years before 9/11.
8. The Iranian “nuclear threat” is a farce with our own intelligence services saying there is no threat and then there’s Joe Biden who said: “I am less concerned — much less concerned — about the Iranian potential. They have no potential at this moment, they have no capacity to launch a missile at the United States of America…”
9. Our patriotic young men and women, doing what they felt was the right thing to do in joining our armed forces are not dying to protect your freedom or mine! And with the 737 military bases the US has abroad, they have clearly not been successful at spreading democracy and many of our soldiers who make it home alive, arrive mentally and physically crippled – for the rest of their lives.
10. And in Latin America? The Pentagon’s own May 2009 budget documents tell us what’s really going on in Colombia with the agreement to allow extensive military access to seven Colombian bases, The document describes the U.S. presence as an “opportunity for conducting full spectrum operations throughout South America,” and confirms the fears of Colombia’s neighbors when it discusses the possibility of using the base to confront the “threat” of what it calls “anti-US governments.” The most chilling phrase, however, is the discussion of the potential use of Palanquero to “expand expeditionary warfare capability.”

And all of this is nothing more than a tragic, bloody distraction from what is really going on…

A distraction from the real reason why we have a significant military and a massive ‘private security’ presence in the Middle East and, this week has been a very important week indeed for those of us who have been following this closely.

If our governments were to declare: “Look folks! Within the next 15 years the global economy will collapse totally and billions of people around the world will die from starvation because without fertilizers crop yields and food production will drop dramatically.”

What would you do?

Since our way of life in the West is based on oil, we will see a huge number of companies going bankrupt, we will see nightmarish unemployment rates of 50% and during winter, many of our weakest citizens will freeze to death in their homes… We’ll see massive civil unrest, the declaration of martial law and hundreds of thousands of detentions as millions of cold and hungry people take to the streets.

Our whole global economy is dependent on the transportation of people and products, and this week it was announced that: “The world is much closer to running out of oil than official estimates admit, according to a whistleblower at the International Energy Agency (IEA) who claims it has been deliberately underplaying a looming shortage for fear of triggering panic buying.”

“The senior official claims the US has played an influential role in encouraging the watchdog to underplay the rate of decline from existing oil fields while overplaying the chances of finding new reserves.”

And this was done because of “fears that panic could spread on the financial markets if the figures were brought down further. And the Americans fear the end of oil supremacy because it would threaten their power over access to oil resources,” he added.”

Maybe because “The U.S. military is the single largest purchaser and consumer of oil in the world.” And we can all imagine how efficient that military force be would be without enough oil!

The International Energy Agency (IEA) was established in 1974 after the oil crisis to try to safeguard energy supplies to the west. The World Energy Outlook is produced annually under the control of the IEA’s chief economist, Fatih Birol and this World Energy Outlook is a vital tool used by governments around the world to help plan for the future.

Just two years ago in its 2007 World Energy Outlook, the IEA predicted a rate of decline in output from the world’s existing oilfields of 3.7% a year, but the new 2009 report projects a much higher and very worrisome rate of decline of 6.7%.

The IEA’s chief economist, Fatih Birol explained this enormous discrepancy on the fact that the 2007 report was a “global assumption about the world’s oil fields” whereas the latest 2009 findings “were based on a major study it had undertaken into decline rates in the world’s 800 largest oilfields.”

Most sane people would find it truly mind boggling that the IEA ‘claims’ to have never done this before: “In fact nobody had done this research,” he said. “This is the first publicly available data.”

So the old data was – let’s be honest – a guess but now, hallelujah! We have more factual data and it’s “not good news.”

In an video interview with George Monbiot, IEA’s chief economist, Fatih Birol states that: “I hope that you are right that the governments are listening to us, I’m not as optimistic as you are….” “The energy path that we are following is an unsustainable one!” And that “… the reason we are asking for a global energy revolution is to prepare everybody for difficult days and difficult times.”

“In terms of non-Opec [countries outside the big oil producers’ cartel],” he replied, “we are expecting that in three, four years’ time the production of conventional oil will come to a plateau, and start to decline. In terms of the global picture, assuming that Opec will invest in a timely manner, global conventional oil can still continue, but we still expect that it will come around 2020 to a plateau as well, which is, of course, not good news from a global-oil-supply point of view.”

Well there’s the understatement of the century for you!

In their World Energy Outlook 2009 Fact Sheet the report projects that electricity demand will grow by a staggering 76% between 2007-2030 and then in the following paragraph it states quite hilariously that; “The world’s energy resources are adequate to meet the projected demand increase through to 2030 and well beyond.”

Even if we had lots of oil – which we do not according to these respected experts – the other required ingredient we don’t have enough of to generate huge increases in electricity is water.

“In the report on peak oil commissioned by the US department of energy, the oil analyst Robert L Hirsch concluded that “without timely mitigation, the economic, social and political costs” of world oil supplies peaking “will be unprecedented”.

He went on to explain what “timely mitigation” meant. Even a worldwide emergency response “10 years before world oil peaking”, he wrote, would leave “a liquid-fuels shortfall roughly a decade after the time that oil would have peaked”. To avoid global economic collapse, we need to begin “a mitigation crash program 20 years before peaking“. If Hirsch is right, and if oil supplies peak before 2028, we’re in deep doodah.”

The fact of the matter is we cannot handle the truth which is exactly why we have been lied to for so long…

The US and UK governments probably believe that ‘sacrificing’ tens of millions of Iraqis, Afghanistanis, Pakistanis and – coming soon – a few million innocent people in Iran, to get exclusive access to the richest oil fields on earth, is worth it to prolong our rotting, totally unsustainable civilizations for a few more years before we start moving back towards the dark ages.

What do we do?

If you’re not already thinking in survival mode, get there fast and, wherever you are, we all need to make sure we have a well stocked and secure refuge preferably away from the maddening crowd where we can at least try to ride out the long, very dangerous storm that lies ahead.
