Collapse: Prophecy of our economy’s impending doom?

is a fantastic film that encapsulates the driving dark skeletons of our economy and shows how they combine to undertake our society.

I first became aware of Michael Ruppert when I was introduced to peak oil in the film- End of Suburbia where he was introduced in a few sections discussing peak oil and geopolitics. I enjoyed his speech on Youtube when he spoke up about CIA smuggling cocaine into the streets of L.A. and also his presentation at  the UW Campus in Seattle which gave a rundown of his book, Crossing the Rubicon: The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil, (which I later purchased). Ruppert is a retired police officer who worked as a detective and after finding out numerous govermental lies and deceptions he began to catergorize them in his "From the Wilderness" newsletter and blog.

In detail, Michael Ruppert discusses how the past few years have really played, out as well as gives a clear identification of our future pains, namely climate change, peak oil, and the further pains our economic system will suffer as we move from a growth paradigm to a decline paradigm. Will we the people begin to take back our economy?
