Toronto: The buzz film 'Collapse' showcases a gripping pundit of economic doom

I said in my first post from Toronto that you could feel the anxiety of the economic crisis in any number of the films here. Read the full post.

    Well if billions of people are going to die in agony due to starvation and roaming cannibal hordes why should I care? Chances are more than likely that an electrical engineering student like me is going to be part of the 90% of humanity to die off, since there is obviously no hope. And trying to tough it out with a bunch of morally mutated survivalists in the backwoods fending off bloodthirsty hordes isn’t very appealing.

    So why worry? I could just buy a cyanide capsule and keep it with me in case things get too horrendous to cope with. I think I’ll just enjoy the time I’ve got left with family and friends. I’ll do my part for “humanity” by trying to figure out a way of preserving at least some of our technological, scientific, and mathematical knowledge. Maybe using soda cans for pages or something.

    I hope the rest of you can enjoy your blighted hellscape of doom.

    Whatever Ruppert’s agendas or personal quirks, he has been a far better friend to reality than most of the MSM. He explains 9/11 as one of those things where the evil men do (the men are not pure evil)is based on the desperate attempt to do good (get into the mideast and control the last of the reasonably cheap-to-get oil). And yes, he sees it as insiders. So do I, because his hypothesis makes more sense than the others, in this age of well-understood peak oil which the average person was never told about, ever. It wasn’t part of the story we were told about ourselves. The credit crisis, the falling of the financial dominoes, pretty well explained by him, also the origins of our secret government, including the CIA, in the Wall Street Establishment – the last gasp of them to control things got us into this war. But “power” from their point of view may now be concentrating elsewhere. Like this has never happened before – Just ask their Catholic majesties of Spain, who today are hardly household names. We may be in for collapse of empire – not the end of the world – but something as big as or bigger than the fall of Rome at the beginning of the Middle Ages, a gap into which other cultures will make a breach and put a new spin on the puck of fortune.

    There is no question that our life styles will have to change. Where is it written that we 5% of the world should consume 25% of its limited energy?

    The change will do us good, if we embrace it and do not fight it. And it can be the basis for a new, sustainable, green economy.

    If only Obama would stop TALKING and start DOING.

    Yea, just like when the year 2000 came it was the end of the world. NO ONE KNOWS WHEN THE END IS! EXCEPT GOD! Its a movie just like all the others. If you people want to stress out go ahead. When the end comes you aren’t going to do anything about it or will you know it. Grow-up. You are just making that man a millions of dollars by watching the movie. A_DUH!

    Part of what some people are saying aobut ’2012′ is that if by a miracle the planet does not ‘implode’ or ‘explodes’…is that the ‘ONLY’ way to survive is to treat the earth with respect (as a living breathing entity), as was done for thousands of years by the indigenous cultures. The human race is nothing more than CANCER (a disease) on the face of mother earth.

    I am surprised the US Govt hasnt killed Ruppert yet. I mean, he has exposed many of the evil leaders and their wrong doings of the so called, “Free World”. I saw his speech to Portland State University and it was incredible. I checked out several things he said and he was Dead On. He doesnt say much about the bombs in the towers because that’s already been proven, no need. Plus, the sheep out in the wilderness dont want to believe their own govt. would kill their own livestock. But you have to remember, the US govt. is becoming a World govt. US citizens arent the important ones anymore. And check out the oil pipeline being built down through Afganistan, that’s why the US military is there. There is alot going on friends, we better get prepared….Or else…
