The current path of global direction is unsustainable on multiple fronts. The U.S. Dollar is the current world reserve currency and is backed by America’s ability to produce and manage itself. In the past decades, you could go to just about any country and they would welcome your dollars. That is now changing. Economic mismanagement is taking its toll on the Dollar.
The predicted level of oil consumption is unsustainable. According to a Wikileaks published cable: “The US fears that Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest crude oil exporter, may not have enough reserves to prevent oil prices escalating, confidential cables from its embassy in Riyadh show.” I have been preaching “peak oil” for the last 5 years and conventional oil production has not exceeded the 2005 level, even in 2008 when oil hit $147. Why? Because the producers can’t open the spigots wider. Oil production is limited by well depletion, cost of oil extraction, and lack of new oil discovery.

Is it lawful to withhold the truth and the facts from the citizens you serve? Don’t we have unalienable rights to know the facts that ultimately affected us all? The political double standard will come back to bite those who have been complicit in the lawlessness of withholding the truth from the citizenry. Have you noticed that there have been no criminal convictions of the financiers who got us into the recent financial crisis that threatens the economic stability of the world? I am amazed at the passiveness of the average American citizen as their world is in the midst of crumbling. I guess we just need to play another song on the deck of the Titanic and enjoy another drink.
Speaking of “unsustainable”:
Inflation is alive and well in the commodities market and is now hitting the shelves at the local food market. Have you begun storing up six months’ of food supplies to be rotated as used? We are moving towards chaos and thus toward WWIII unless Our Heavenly Father intervenes.
