[p2p-research] the others for matt ridley, the collapsists

[Michel Bauwens]

via nadia mclaren:

 Friends, This is an important presentation from Mike Ruppert - timed to the
release of his movie Collapse - his first significant new communication in
some years since *Peak Oil* and *Confronting Collapse*.  It's absolutely
current (Greece, Deepwater Horizon ...) and addresses the "collapse of
industrial
society" and the "transition imperative".  The presentation is around one
hour + questions. Give it ten minutes at least: bear with the introduction;
it speeds up to roller-coaster pace and I guarantee you will be absorbed.
He's is one of the most uncompromising and consistent far-seers alive.  As
he says, "ignore me at your own peril".  Nadia

THE LIFEBOAT MOVEMENT IN VERMONT
CONFRONTING THE PEAK OIL CRISIS

This is my first real large talk since 2005. I held nothing back. In it, I
say things that are certain to tick off almost everybody out there. That was
intended. What I want now is for anybody to challenge me to back up anything
that I said here on mainstream media. (Special thanks to George Galloway.
You showed me how to do this.) Vermont is a very special place. It is one of
only two states in U.S. history that were independent republics before
voting to enter the Union. The other, of course, was Texas. I just spent
almost a week in Vermont on a whirlwind tour that included major speaking
engagements in Burlington, Montpelier and Brattleboro; two TV appearances
(including this one); two in-studio radio interviews, and many smaller
appearances at a number of venues. Vermont is unique among all the states in
that, by itself, it could be made into a lifeboat as a state. I met with
both the Gubernatorial (Dennis Steele) and Lt. Governor candidates as well
as candidates for the state senate. As I listened to them I heard that their
concerns -- as well as their emerging platform -- are taken from the pages
of the collapse of human industrial civilization.

What you will see here is explosive and controversial. I guess you could say
I'm really back now. It's time to bring this to a head because there is no
more time to waste. From now on I will refer to the Peak Oil/Sustainability
movement only as the Lifeboat Movemement, because that's what it is. It
belongs to all mankind.
