Cliff Niotes

Cliff Divers,

Civilization Goes Over the Net Energy Cliff in 2022 - Just 6 years Away (Condensed version of a series of articles. It is really energy-costly to get most oil out of the ground now, and getting worse. The last of the easy-oil is strategically critical. Libyan and Iraqi oil, for instance.)
"I am saying that when 1 barrel of sweet crude is traded at US$44 (actually as I write it’s at about $43 and a bit), the Globalized Industrial World has access to only 16% of the energy it contains, so the net financial impact for the Globalized Industrial World as a whole is yes, $277/bbl equivalent. The Globalized Industrial World can’t make money with the full barrel, only the 16% residual, so it all happens as if it was attempting to “grow” at a basic cost of $277/bbl, which these days is quite a challenge. Even adjusting for inflation, at the time of the 1978-79 crisis (based on BP inflation adjusted price data) with some 56% net energy available to end-users, the shadow price was around US$188/bbl equivalent, and back then the situation was dire."

(The CIA really has the procedure worked out quite well, after pulling-off so many of these in other countries. Yeah, they only "usually" work. The color is already picked-out, of course.)

Colleen sends Paul Craig Roberts' version of the same assessment: The Establishment is Trying to Steal the Presidency from Trump, and the Liberal-Left is Helping 

Martin Berger at New Eastern Outlook also sees a set-up for color revolution against president-elect Trump:

"Remember Kennedy", says John Ward, from across the pond. "How long will Trump last?"
