NOW AND THEN THE DAILY NEWS MAY POSTULATE WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN, AND WE WATCH, ENTHRALLED FOR PERHAPS AN HOUR THEN GO ABOUT OUR DAILY LIVES, SHRUGGING OFF THE "WHAT-IFS", TELLING OURSELVES THERE'S NO WAY WE'LL EVER HAVE TO GO BACK TO HORSE-AND-BUGGY DAYS, BACK TO WALKING TO THE STORE, BACK TO THERE BEING NO STORES, BACK TO DEPENDING ON SELF TO HUNT AND GATHER, TO GROW AND RAISE ALL WE NEED, OR DEPEND ON LOCAL FARMS AND RANCHES, IF ANY SURVIVE.
BUT FEW STOP TO IMAGINE THE DOMINO EFFECT THAT NO MORE OIL WOULD BRING UPON MOST NATIONS ON EARTH.
THIS FILM SHOWS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.
I HOPE YOU WATCH IT AND THINK ABOUT IT.
I HOPE YOU ARE PREPARED FOR LIFE WITHOUT OIL.
COULD WE TRANSITION TO A WORLD WITHOUT OIL?
WELL, WE DIDN'T DEPEND ON OIL UNTIL AFTER THE 19TH CENTURY.
THE 20TH CENTURY SAW THE TRUE BEGINNINGS OF OUR TOTAL DEPENDENCE ON OIL.
WHEN WE LOOK BACK AT PRE-OIL AMERICA, I SUPPOSE MOST SEE A VERY DARK PICTURE. SOME DON'T. SOME SEE A BETTER LIFE.
WHY WE MADE THAT TRANSITION, WE CALLED THAT "PROGRESS".
THAT WASN'T EXACTLY TRUE, BUT LET IT SUFFICE .
WE DECIDED THAT IN ORDER TO 'PROGRESS', WE NEEDED, WE HAD TO HAVE OIL.
YES, IT WAS DIRTY, IT WAS DIRTY BRINGING IT UP FROM THE DEEP RECESSES IN WHICH IT WAS HIDDEN, IT WAS DIRTY TO PROCESS IT AND TO SHIP IT, IT WAS DIRTY WHEN WE USED IT, BUT WE WANTED 'PROGRESS'.
WE DIDN'T CARE IF WARS WOULD ERUPT OVER OIL RESERVES, DIDN'T CARE THAT USING IT WOULD EVENTUALLY CHOKE MANY TO DEATH, NOR DID WE CARE THAT MUCH OF PLANET EARTH WOULD HAVE TO PAY A HIGH PRICE, WHETHER IN LIVES OR MONEY, TO GET AND USE OIL.
IT WAS A MOOT POINT. WE HAD TO HAVE OIL...MORE AND MORE AND MORE OIL EVERY YEAR, EVERY DAY.
DO ALL PEOPLE WANT OR FEEL THE NEED FOR OIL?
NO!
ARE THE ONES WITHOUT OIL, OR WHO DO NOT WANT OIL, CONTENT, DO THEY LIVE WELL WITHOUT OIL?
THEY SEEM TO THINK SO.
THIS VIDEO ABOUT ONE TORTURED GROUP OF PEOPLE IS SAID TO HAVE AN INVALID LINK TO YOUTUBE, BUT IT WORKS JUST FINE WHEN I CLICK ON IT, SO HERE ARE TWO LINKS SO YOU CAN SEE HOW SOME PEOPLE NOT ONLY DON'T WANT OIL, BUT ARE TORMENTED WITH IT.

IN AMERICA, THE AMISH AND A GROWING NUMBER OF 'AVERAGE' AMERICANS LIVE "OFF THE GRID" WITHOUT ELECTRICITY, WITHOUT OIL.
DO YOU THINK THESE PEOPLE ARE MISERABLE?
WHEN AMERICANS GO "INTO THE WILD", CAMPING AS OUR ANCESTORS CAMPED, WE CALL THAT A 'VACATION', OFF THE GRID, AWAY FROM MODERN CONVENIENCES.
IS THAT MISERY?
HERE ARE SOME PROS AND CONS...A VIDEO WHICH GOOGLE ALSO FINDS TO HAVE AN INVALID LINK TODAY, "NO VIDEO FOUND"...
GO WATCH IT ANYWAY, TO HELL WITH WHAT GOOGLE SAYS!
THEY'RE HANDING ALL THIS TO THE NSA ANYWAY, ROTTEN LOT!

WOULD THERE BE AN OIL APOCALYPSE?
LIKELY...
AGAIN, YOU'LL HAVE TO CLICK THE LINK TO VIEW THESE INCREDIBLE VIDEOS.
MAYBE THE NATURE OF THE "NO VIDEOS FOUND" TODAY ARE WHAT KEEPS BLOGGER FROM ACCEPTING THE LINKS?
ALL THE MORE REASON TO GO WATCH THESE!

AS THE SCREWS TIGHTEN ON ALL OF US, AS FREE SPEECH AND FREE CHOICE BECOME THINGS OF THE PAST, THIS BLOG MAY "DISAPPEAR", AND SHOULD THAT HAPPEN, I HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT OTHERS WILL ARISE IF NOT HERE, THEN SOMEWHERE.
MAY WE ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO CALL OUT TO EACH OTHER, TO WARN, TO SHARE THE TRUTHS WE ALL NEED TO KNOW, TO HELP ONE ANOTHER IN THE COMING TIMES.
NEVER GIVE UP!
NEVER QUIT!
QUESTION EVERYTHING!
