Member Quotes
Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.

I can't decide which piece is more absurd and grossly misinformed:



A lenghty piece of baloney in Asia Times.

"Despite Reality, Belief In Peak Oil Persists"

Were some passengers arguing about the inability of iceburgs to sink ships as the Titanic went down? It wouldn't surprise me.

Ismael Hossein-zadeh is the author of the Asian Times piece.

He's a Kurd.

If you know a man's motivation, his behaviors become easy to understand.

As a Kurd, he wants the U.S. in Iraq because he wants a Kurdish homeland established.

He therefore bends reason to suit his goal.

It's no different than Israeli-supporting Jews calling for the bombing of Iran and supporting the never-ending war in Iraq. It's about protecting the homeland, and so reason gets put on the shelf in favor of self-preservation.

Most of these people are the "crack-pots" now. It's funny how quickly things can reverse course... It reminds me of F William Enhgdahl who is an "ex-Peaker" and now believes the abiotic oil theory...... Denial, Fear, Anger, Bargaining, Acceptance.

It's probably important to note that the author of the Bloomberg piece, after prdicting that there would be a correction inside of 6 months, predicts that we are in a commodity bull run for 20 years..... the headline is misleading.
