Effect of peak oil in Italy, Pitchfork movement shutting down highways

In Italy the pitchfork movement (movimento dei forconi) is shutting down the highways, stopping trucks (also with food and petrol) from being delivered in cities. This because to protest against the rise in the price of gasoline. And yet no one in the news is making the connection between this and peak oil. The situation is much more sevre than people are realising.

Great RON PAUL Super Pac Ad on FOREIGN POLICY... (short clip)

Based on a speech Dr. Paul delivered to congress. VERY WELL DONE!!!

This is relevant given the on-going wars in the Middle East & Africa and the pending wars in Syria & Iran.

You can also listen to Dr. Paul present the almost identical speech, in his own voice, @...

Thx!!!

When does the bubble pop?

I just wanted to get a discussion going as to how long people think Europe can keep going like this?  It seems there is worse news every day.

Why & How the Iowa Caucuses were Manipulated Against Ron Paul & Favored Rick Santorum so Much (big picture perspective)

To give credit to the author and cite the source, the following is from the Friday, January 6th edition of the WORLD AFFAIRS BRIEF by Joel Skousen.

IMHO, this is excellent and essentially accurate analysis of the dynamics behind the primary elections. This is definitely not something you see covered by the bought and paid for main-stream media. If you've been paying any attention this will make ALLOT of sense.

I agree with pretty much most of it. Looking forward to reading other people's takes on this. Thanks in advance!

Here is a video of the event. (Technical problems delayed its release.)

His book is an excellent compendium of factors threatening the global food supply.

What do we do when we are one and the government is a different entity?

I posted a couple tonight.  I have lost most of my confidence in the US Gov.  This bit of retaining someone indefinitely is absurd.  There are other laws being put on the books which diminish our liberties.  The first one that comes to mind is after the financial ones is the fact that if the GOV decides a web site is terrorist or coercive it can be taken off the Net.  I went to some of the most conservative connected schools in the country, and I am scared as Hell and I have always been part of the "regular class.
