Regarding the lack of privacy on the internet: I have seen Amorware on FTW and the blog for years but does it really work and if so how do you know that it works?

Good afternoon everyone.I just wanted to point out that the link to the recreate68.org site isn't working.I am also somewhat confused by the caption which state "Right-wing Call for Violence in Denver" After browsing a bit at the site,I see nothing there calling for,or advocating violence,unless it is a failure on my part to read between the lines.

Here is a link to a page on their site titled: Statement of Non-Violence & Principles

Carolyn Baker today ran an article that backs up my (and JW Fearman's) exhortation to get out of the city.

"Mobsters without borders" -- This just kills me. The biggest mobs are governments themselves. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

Say it ain't so:

High oil prices rekindle oil production in Mo.

Rice Farmer-- the Carolyn Baker link doesn't work.

Thank you for continuing to publish articles on the Blog at the old FTW Web site. I really miss all the great articles that used to be published by FTW on an ongoing basis, but through your work you still give those of us who have loved FTW some great information and you make us feel that FTW is still alive.

I had been trying to find a way on the Blog to thank you personally and couldn't see one, but I found this article on your testimony on all that happened at Ground Zero, and your E-mail address was included at the bottom of it:

Thanks again!

Finally got a chance to read MCR's update. It's great to hear he's doing well.The predictions have been accurate and ahead of the curve as they have been for all the years I read FTW. Although I'm decades younger, I've been feeling lately the way he does. I'm the only one out of all my family and friends who's educated on the subject of Peak OIl(and Peak Everything) and who's willing to relocate. ..

I guess that since he's back in LA instead of living a sustainable life in Oregon, we can spot him driving down Wilshire Blvd. in his new Hummer on his way to Wal-Mart. Just Kidding. All the best to you Mike, You deserve it!

I first saw Mike speak on April 2, 2003 and have been a close follower of the ideas and scenarios laid out by Mike, FTW, and those with similar views. My whole family has essentially disregarded everything I have ever mentioned...which is a horrible decision in my opinion. Although I have learned a valuable lesson about what "family" really means while being concerned about THE FUTURE. My family will probably be the people I end up living with on some property somewhere around say, the Pacific Northwest - it's in the works.

And just to be a pest, there are no Wal-Marts in Beverly Hills, there's one off of the 210 past Monrovia and another down towards City of Commerce.

US helps perfect high-tech surveillance state in China.

Actually, this is nothing to be surprised about. Go to my blog and search for the term "China Model." I have been saying for a long time that the US (which likes to lecture China about human rights) is actually working hard to implement the China Model at home.

Signs of the times: two articles from today's NY Times, both on the effects of Peak Oil on the airlines (although they don't express it quite as directly as that):

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/21/business/21air.html

The other one is on the front page of the online Times, and is about American Airlines: it's planning to take 85 planes out of service, and eliminate free checked baggage, instituting a $15 fee. Both of these stories fulfill James Howard Kunstler's predictions of the demise of the airline industry with the onset of Peak.

Japanese banks take huge subprime hit.
http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/editorial/20080521TDY04305.htm

"Losses incurred due to subprime loan-linked securitized products have snowballed. The combined losses of the six banking groups reached 980 billion yen, with Mizuho Financial Group Inc. topping the list with a 645 billion yen hit. The combined subprime losses are more than triple an estimate made in November."
