One well-known petroleum geologist, Colin Campbell, has put the tilting point at 2010, or little more than a half-decade away. Another, Kenneth Deffeys, forecasts that it will occur this year.
The basis facts are these: The entire world now both produces and consumes some 75 million barrels of oil a day. By 2015, or a decade away, demand is expected to increase by more than two-thirds, or by another 60 million barrels a day.
"Michael Moore enlists with General Clark: the pathetic—and predictable—logic of protest politics"
By David Walsh 27 January 2004 The decision by American independent filmmaker and radical gadfly Michael Moore to endorse former army general Wesley Clark for the Democratic Party presidential nomination, while deplorable, is hardly astonishing. On the contrary, the move possesses a certain inevitability. It expresses the political and intellectual limitations, indeed bankruptcy, of an entire trend of current liberal-left thinking in America.

In my previous article, Anti-Bodies of the AmeriFascist Memeplex, I enumerated some of the primary memes deployed by the dominant memeplex which act to undermine the left. This article delves into a similar subject: the self defeating memes of the dominant leftist memeplex. Our inability to wage an effective resistance against the dominant memeplex is rooted not only in the effective defense mechanisms of the dominant memeplex but in flaws of our own memeplex.

![]() [Some snippets of comments to the article: "this thing here" wrote: name a single country on the face of this earth that has a purely capitalist economy....it's impossible... now, like a gigantic flashing red light trying to tell us something, perhaps we should all notice how a vast majority of the economies on this planet are mixed to one degree or another. even america's... "Konrad Adenauer" responded: ...I don't consider myself a doctrinaire follower of any "ism" of any variety. However, I think it's important to avoid simplistic mantras of any sort in economics or politics. While few people today would embrace simplistic Marxist slogans of the sort that were the stock in trade of the East Bloc authoritarian regimes, plenty of people are willing to assume that capitalism as we know it today is some kind of natural, inevitable state of affairs, or even that "it's always been this way." And it's even more important to disabuse ourselves of the airy fairy tales of capitalist propaganda of the sort that Marx debunked more than a century ago but that live on alive and well in the imaginations of millions to this day, than it is to ward off the dangers of left "utopianism."]

This 2003 documentary by director Michael Burns makes a comprehensive survey of today's major United States third party efforts. It includes interviews with leaders in the Libertarian, Green, Reform, Labor, Communist, Socialist, Working Families and Workers World Parties. These are interspersed with commentary from activists and academics including Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Francis Fox Piven, Ronnie Dugger, Jeremy Brecher and others. The film looks carefully at what motivates and inspires parties vying for a foothold in a country so dominated politically by the Democrats and Republicans.

Whispers of "revolution" are growing louder in Baghdad this month at teahouses, public protests and tribal meetings as Iraqis point to the past as an omen for the future.
Iraqis remember 1920 as one of the most glorious moments in modern history, one followed by nearly eight decades of tumult. The bloody rebellion against British rule that year is memorialized in schoolbooks, monuments and mass-produced tapestries that hang in living rooms. Now, many say there's an uncanny similarity with today: unpopular foreign occupiers, unelected governing bodies and unhappy residents eager for self-determination. The result could be another bloody uprising.
Arnold Schwarzenegger broke California's campaign finance laws by attempting to conceal the identity of his political donors from voters who elected him governor in October, a state judge has ruled.
The bone of contention was a $4.5m bank loan to Mr Schwarzenegger's campaign, representing almost half of the $10.6m he spent during the unprecedented push to remove California's unpopular sitting governor, Gray Davis, from office. The judge found that Mr Schwarzenegger violated a state campaign finance law introduced three years ago by popular initiative intended to prevent wealthy candidates from lending more than $100,000 to boost their own campaigns. Following the judge's ruling, Schwarzenegger's lawyers backed off and said they would abide with the court's findings, which will probably oblige Mr Schwarzenegger to return any campaign money received to cover the loan and pay the $4.5m out of his own pocket.
A good friend of mine- and exlover, used to sing these lyrics to me over and over when we were traveling. It would make me laugh and laugh. I would be grinning cheek to cheek trying to join in and sing the lyrics to this song with him. Our dimples mirroring each other we still couldn't keep the same rythm. He had a perfect Jello Biafra imitation, I had something else all together. Anyway this song is so funny, from the title to the last line. My favorite line is, show your grandson who's the boss. I invite people to share your lyrics, with the movement...

Declaring the ascendence of porn is a 48-foot-high billboard of porn queen Jenna Jameson in Time Square, the symbolic heart of the U.S. advertising industry. She is now courted by TV producers, book publishers and marketers as a cultural star.
She and Ron Jeremy's recent renaissance are part of what some trend mavens say is the new "porno-ized" America, which seems to be enthralled with people who were once marginalized in a business that has always been the black sheep of entertainment. "It's a way to prove your liberalness to not be freaked out by porn," said Marian Salzman, chief strategy officer at Euro RSCG Worldwide. "People are decidedly more open now." "The face of the consumer has changed," said Rhett Speros, a trend analyst at brand consulting firm Buzztone, New York. "It's no longer that old guy in the trench coat in the '60s that your parents told you to run from."

"I worked around the clock helping and assisting the government of the United States to put Muslims in jail," wrote Farhat, who said he assisted the FBI in giving information on scores of Arabs. "My life has been destroyed, abused and used to benefit your interests." He handed the letter, which was obtained by The Detroit News, to a U.S. immigration agent as he caught a flight from Detroit Metropolitan Airport on Wednesday. Fearful for his safety, and with the government's approval, Farhat left the United States days after his identity was publicly revealed.
