Western governments must have seen all this coming a long time ago so why didn't they:-
1. adopt pro-natal policies years ago instead of doing the opposite (LGBT, feminism etc) and importing often hostile minority groups?
2. implement nuclear power on a mass scale, especially fine tuning the Thorium cycle using molten salt reactors (safe, no waste, abundant fuel)?
3. continue to exploit fossil fuels rather than restrict extraction?
4. prepare to return to a sound money system instead of flogging off the gold reserves and blowing a bigger bubble, i.e. keep digging the hole bigger?
It seems to me that the Eurasian powers are doing all these 4 things and seem to see a bright future of multi-lateral cooperation out from under the Western yoke. Surely they would be in the know too if things were as bad as this guy says? Why aren't they acting like the Western countries?

"Dr. Morgan believes that there are two economies running in parallel. One is “the underlying ‘real’ or physical economy of products and services” and the other is a “financial economy of money and credit”. “Money has no intrinsic worth, but commands value only in terms of the material things for which it can be exchanged”. To better understand that concept, imagine yourself stranded on a desert island. No amount of money, whether that be coins, gold or crypto, would have the slightest value because there would be nobody with which to trade it with for food or water."

YES YES YES YES! The way that I phrase it is that when the fake economy of money printing/handouts overtakes the real economy of voluntary transactions for goods and services, the wheels come off the bus.
The bankers and politicians will ALWAYS find excuses to print, leaving the rest of us to pay for their actions via devalued labor and savings.
This is what it looks like when the fake economy of being close to the literal money makers overtakes the real economy of people voluntarily trading goods and services. Why bother with customer service or quality when you can just bribe a politician to make your product mandatory, or to eliminate your competition?
The debt will be inflated away, and it’s extremely likely the looter class will grab everything they can while the house of cards tumbles down. It’s likely millions of people will be unable to continue paying for their homes and businesses, and the politically connected will use their newly printed cash to buy up the rubble for pennies on the dollar.

Let me explain how I came across Tim Morgan....
In 2008 the GFC smashed into a few businesses I had founded in Greater China and up until then it had been smooth sailing. Needless to say GFC put an abrupt dent in the situation.
Initially I bought the line that it was corruption/stupidity on the part of Bernanke, the Central Banks... and the bankers. How dare they make such a mess of things these self-serving pricks.
At the time I did not think the Fed would be able to right the Titanic and I began some serious bucket listing with my wife... but I will admit I did not understand the fundamental problem... I continued to assume it was one of venality and or incompetence. One way or the other I expected worse to come.
2010 ... I read The Big Short... I recall a veteran mortgage brokers discussing Liar Loans ... he said normally it would take a month to approve financing for someone to buy a house... but now many brokerages were doing it on the spot --- we had no choice -- we either join the fray or we go out of business. How do you vet someone for a loan on the spot? You don't'
I paused after reading that --- and to borrow from Apocalypse now -- And then I realized, like I was shot — like I was shot with a diamond...a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought, my God.... the Central Banks KNEW -- surely they knew -- in fact they must have encouraged this seemingly insane behaviour. The number one rule in banking is you do not lend $$$ to dead beats. You want your money back - with interest.
Bernanke was not corrupt - or stupid. How could I have been so stupid to have thought this!
But why would they do this - why would they shit on their kitchen table -- why would they burn their house down?
Hours upon hours were spent digging ... then... on a cold winter night in a hotel in Edinburgh (we were on a bucket list journey through Scotland) I found The Perfect Storm - by Tim Morgan.
It's a long paper - and it was the wee hours of the night before I finished it. And a second diamond bullet struck me --- I know understood why they had encouraged Liar Loans... why interest rates had been falling ... why the price of oil was $147 just prior to the GFC.
Increasing production costs as we depleted the low hanging fruit of oil are a huge headwind on the global economy. If the Central Banks failed to act against the headwinds the global economy collapses. The Central Banks had been responding as early as the turn of the century dropping interest rates to offset the rising energy costs.
They had also decided that pumping the housing market would provide enormous stimulus... housing prices rise + this drives economic activity (people buy furniture, appliances, they take second mortgages and buy cars/boats etc...) And this activity impacts the entire economy - everyone parties!
And then it ended.
But it didn't end. The CBs bailed things out - then continued to hose the global economy with near zero cost cash.... setting off another massive bubble that continue right up until 2019.
“The global economy was facing the worst collapse since the second world war as coronavirus began to strike in March, well before the height of the crisis, according to the latest Brookings-FT tracking index. “The index comes as the IMF prepares to hold virtual spring meetings this week, when it will release forecasts showing the deepest contraction for the global economy since the 1930s great depression. https://www.ft.com/content/9ac5eb8e-4167-4a54-9b39-dab48c29ac6c
I had been monitoring the marco picture and thinking --- they are pushing on multiple strings... one was German industrial production - the other was new car sales... despite record low interest rates -- both were plunging ... something's gotta give here.... another GFC?
Then BANG. Covid hits from outta nowhere.... WTF is this?
Initially I was accepting the BBCCNN version that this was the new black plague... but the cracks began to appear when the folks in besieged Wuhan flooded out of the city for Chinese New Year --- I remember thinking -- this will rip through the entire country in a week - why are they allowing this?
But it didn't - I have extensive contacts throughout China ... and nothing... no pandemic. Strange...
In April contacted one of the men who would sub author Great Barrington... an epidemiologist at a top university --and we had a series of telephone conversations and emails.... he said he had the WHO data and he'd analysed it - Covid was no more deadly than a bad flu. Slightly worse for the elderly - slightly less for the young. He was asking why the lockdowns.
A third diamond bullet hit me ... we are being exterminated. I did not know exactly how and initially thought they'd frighten 8 billion humans with the plague -- so that we'd not venture out for fear of death ... place military units on the streets with shoot to kill orders... and promise food would be delivered 'tomorrow'... and slowly weaken us ... till we just laid down and starved...
But then Operation Warp Speed launched -- and the miracle cure was at hand - in less than a year. Hmm... safe and effective and warp speed don't mix... a bit of research brought me here https://www.wired.com/2003/05/feds-race-to-make-sars-vaccine/
A 4th bullet ... these are kill shots. Initially I thought Bossche would nail it - a Marek's like disease was the goal -- but when that did not happen I came across the Binary Poison theory --- the shots damaged the immune system/messed with the DNA of the nearly 6B vaxxers - then when the global economy is looking to implode --- they release phase two --- some sort of virus that kills all the Vaxxers... the No Vaxxers starve.
Why would there be no push back? Because the alternative is 8 billion starving angry predators on the streets - when the global economy implodes. The gates of hell open.
Thus all the leaders of all the countries for the first time in history have reached a consensus. They have agreed to exterminate us --- in a manner that involves minimal suffering.
Tim Morgan's Perfect Storm (which originally appeared on the FT if you can believe it) is a superb essay on the energy story however https://ourfiniteworld.com/ authored by Gail Tvergberg provides a much broader and more accurate analysis of the situation.
The 5th diamond bullet ... is that there is nothing that can be done to stop this plan -- unless someone has a bigger army that the DOD - Russia - China - and every other country --- because they are all committed to the plan and will stop at nothing to ensure it is completed.
I would also say to those who desire to stop the plan from completing -- be careful what you wish for ... if they fail --- the Gates of Hell will open when the financial system implodes.
Nobody wants that. Again - UEP goes into detail...
As a long time follower of the peak oil theory (although its not peak oil its the reducing energy returns on energy investment look at the energy cost of shale oil)
I have always thought covid lockdowns and bio-weapon injections made perfect sense when looked at through the prisim of peak oil production in Nov 2018. Its all about control of dwindling resources, reducing demand and reducing mouths to feed. Its interesting times and the only sane advice I can offer is start a garden and grow food....love your substack keep up the good work

I work in financial, not real economy. I ended up there before I knew better. But I always had this feeling that the whole financial economy is smoke and mirrors, devoid of value. And if you knew how much pointless and wasteful, but highly paid, scarce skills, jobs are created by, for example, all the new financial regulations... it's just marvel. What a waste of human potential for all engineers and physicists who decide to take lucrative jobs in this imaginary nonsense
For decades they have been - like a bird feigning injury to lead predators away from the next -- doing whatever it takes to ensure we do NOT get wind of the true situation regarding the depletion of affordable energy.
Then we have Elon Musk anointed as Tech God - he will fix everything! And if he fails he'll fly us to Mars (or an Earth like planet somewhere out there).
I would also argue that the faked Moon landings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpuKu3F0BvY were part of this PR campaign - if we can go to the moon we can colonize space... a comforting thought on a finite planet with depleting resources!
Humans need hope in a bright future where there is always more to be had.... if they notice the party is going to end --- they panic ... if you strip hope from them they fall into despair --- and that is a self-fulfilling situation -- they turn to drugs and booze... they don't invest, study, have kids etc... why bother - we're f789ed...
Nope. Can't have that - so feed them hopium... lie.
It's worked... you ask 100 people - do you think we will run out of oil - most will say yes (although some believe it's abiotic -- courtesy the PR Team)....
Are you concerned? No.
Why not? Cuz we will have transitioned to renewables long before we run out. And EVs.
Thank you PR Team. Brilliant!
Global warming slots in nicely -- we are not running out - we are dumping these vile fossil fuels... they are the villain... we don't need them! That's particularly brilliant PR.
And as we reach the End Game we are seeing all sorts of insanity ... Biden shaking hands with ghosts... trannies in classrooms... hospitals mutilating kids cuz they decided it might be fun to change gender... illegal immigrants being chaperoned into countries... on demand hardest of hard core porn available to 7 yr olds... and on and on and on.
None of this is an accident - it is orchestrated...
And it serves two purposes 1. these are distractions that keep the mob from seeing the nest... (how about a cage match - Biden vs Trump!!!) but more importantly 2. they destroy the ethical foundations of a society --- they leave the mob bewildered -- things are going to pieces and this is not the world I want... so death becomes not so unwelcome.

Like you, the sole motivation for my Substack is to try and determine the actual explanation for all the nonsensical things happening all around us. Also like you I am landing on the same core issue/driver that has concerned me for over a decade; Peak Oil. Ironically, the fact that the notion of Peak Oil is rarely mentioned anywhere anymore makes me even more concerned that this is in fact the actual root cause/explanation.

This is the Peak Oil Theory...and I have heard of it...along with the cost to produce energy as above.
The only thing I DO NOT GET, and maybe you cannot help me (anyone?)...since our illegals TAKE MONEY out of our TAXES to get free phones, free housing, free medical, free school and special services, and free heating assistance, plus food stamps etc. and we already feed their kids twice a day....the illegal immigrants flooding our country DO NOT PAY TAXES...so there is nothing to prop up our retirement funds.....Which is why I think they wanted to kill all the old people and there was such a push for EVERYONE to get the jab...
Comments anyone? Why would they want to replace us with people who DO NOT PAY TAXES...they work for cash...unless they are gonna spring the FED NOW CBDC on the new immigrants???

No ‘BAU’?
‘Most’ ‘economic thinking’ is ‘short run’ and ‘redundant’? ‘It’ ignores the ‘supply side’? ‘Growth’ {and ‘civilisation’} depends upon ‘cheap’ F.F. – those so called ‘halcyon days’ are ‘over’. ?
“The crisis now unfolding, however, is entirely different to the 1970s in one crucial respect… The 1970s crisis was largely artificial. When all is said and done, the oil shock was nothing more than the emerging OPEC cartel asserting its newfound leverage following the peak of continental US oil production. There was no shortage of oil any more than the three-day-week had been caused by coal shortages. What they did, perhaps, give us a glimpse of was what might happen in the event that our economies depleted our fossil fuel reserves before we had found a more versatile and energy-dense alternative. . . . That system has been on the life-support of quantitative easing and near zero interest rates ever since. Indeed, so perilous a state has the system been in since 2008, it was essential that the people who claim to be our leaders avoid doing anything so foolish as to lockdown the economy or launch an undeclared economic war on one of the world’s biggest commodity exporters . . . And this is why the crisis we are beginning to experience will make the 1970s look like a golden age of peace and tranquility. . . . The sad reality though, is that our leaders – at least within the western empire – have bought into a vision of the future which cannot work without some new and yet-to-be-discovered high-density energy source (which rules out all of the so-called green technologies whose main purpose is to concentrate relatively weak and diffuse energy sources). . . . Even as we struggle to reimagine the 1970s in an attempt to understand the current situation, the only people on Earth today who can even begin to imagine the economic and social horrors that await western populations are the survivors of the 1980s famine in Ethiopia, the hyperinflation in 1990s Zimbabwe, or, ironically, the Russians who survived the collapse of the Soviet Union.” ?
“It is this belief in a new digital revolution which gave rise to the much-derided article by Danish politician, Ida Auken – originally titled “Welcome to 2030: I own nothing, I have no privacy, and life has never been better.” More popularly known as “you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy.” It is a world of digital currencies and digital IDs, vaccine passports and 15-minute cities, electrification and driverless cars. All of it based around the “energy too cheap to meter” from wind turbines and solar panels, and all of it operated by autonomous artificial intelligence within the “singularity” of the “internet of things.”
It is a mirage, of course… one only visible to so-called “virtuals” – people whose lives and careers are now so detached from the material world that, were there not so many of them, could otherwise be diagnosed as certifiably insane. The real world, meanwhile, looks more akin to the second global collapse – the first being the collapse of the integrated economies of the Bronze Age Eastern Mediterranean empires sometime around 1186 BCE. The majority of ordinary people have seen their living standards decline over the past two decades – a process compounded and accelerated by two years of lockdowns followed by a year of self-destructive sanctions on key resources.”?

It's simple. Governments want to control us by buying us off or using fear. What they should be doing is the opposite. They are now between a rock and a hard place. Read Atlas Shrugged or the Bible for details. As Margaret Thatcher said something like govt is ok until they run out of other people's money.

From an energy perspective you can divide the world into the West(US,UK,Europe,Japan) and everybody else. “Everybody else” is not going along with the Green Energy nonsense and they are never going to. China, Russia, India, Africa, South America, Southeast Asia..... they think we can take our Green New Deals and our windmills and solar panels and shove them where the sun doesn’t shine(pun intended). Think about it. This whole energy Revolution is for roughly 12% of the world’s population. The 88% will not be denied their fossil fuel generated growth and renaissance, just like the West enjoyed for 175 years. We are, to continue the pun, having smoke blown up the same sun deprived region, and we are living a farce. The Great Reset is more propaganda piece than it is reality.
Western governments must have seen all this coming a long time ago so why didn't they:-
1. adopt pro-natal policies years ago instead of doing the opposite (LGBT, feminism etc) and importing often hostile minority groups?
2. implement nuclear power on a mass scale, especially fine tuning the Thorium cycle using molten salt reactors (safe, no waste, abundant fuel)?
3. continue to exploit fossil fuels rather than restrict extraction?
4. prepare to return to a sound money system instead of flogging off the gold reserves and blowing a bigger bubble, i.e. keep digging the hole bigger?
It seems to me that the Eurasian powers are doing all these 4 things and seem to see a bright future of multi-lateral cooperation out from under the Western yoke. Surely they would be in the know too if things were as bad as this guy says? Why aren't they acting like the Western countries?

"...attract young workers..." This is not what is being attracted though. Enemy soldiers is a far more apt moniker.
To me it is amazing that what was so clearly described in Das Kapital and other works of the 19th century is being rediscovered as if it was new.

“The crisis now unfolding, however, is entirely different to the 1970s in one crucial respect… The 1970s crisis was largely artificial. When all is said and done, the oil shock was nothing more than the emerging OPEC cartel asserting its newfound leverage following the peak of continental US oil production. There was no shortage of oil any more than the three-day-week had been caused by coal shortages. What they did, perhaps, give us a glimpse of was what might happen in the event that our economies depleted our fossil fuel reserves before we had found a more versatile and energy-dense alternative. . . . That system has been on the life-support of quantitative easing and near zero interest rates ever since. Indeed, so perilous a state has the system been in since 2008, it was essential that the people who claim to be our leaders avoid doing anything so foolish as to lockdown the economy or launch an undeclared economic war on one of the world’s biggest commodity exporters . . . And this is why the crisis we are beginning to experience will make the 1970s look like a golden age of peace and tranquility. . . . The sad reality though, is that our leaders – at least within the western empire – have bought into a vision of the future which cannot work without some new and yet-to-be-discovered high-density energy source (which rules out all of the so-called green technologies whose main purpose is to concentrate relatively weak and diffuse energy sources). . . . Even as we struggle to reimagine the 1970s in an attempt to understand the current situation, the only people on Earth today who can even begin to imagine the economic and social horrors that await western populations are the survivors of the 1980s famine in Ethiopia, the hyperinflation in 1990s Zimbabwe, or, ironically, the Russians who survived the collapse of the Soviet Union.” ?

“It is this belief in a new digital revolution which gave rise to the much-derided article by Danish politician, Ida Auken – originally titled “Welcome to 2030: I own nothing, I have no privacy, and life has never been better.” More popularly known as “you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy.” It is a world of digital currencies and digital IDs, vaccine passports and 15-minute cities, electrification and driverless cars. All of it based around the “energy too cheap to meter” from wind turbines and solar panels, and all of it operated by autonomous artificial intelligence within the “singularity” of the “internet of things.”
It is a mirage, of course… one only visible to so-called “virtuals” – people whose lives and careers are now so detached from the material world that, were there not so many of them, could otherwise be diagnosed as certifiably insane. The real world, meanwhile, looks more akin to the second global collapse – the first being the collapse of the integrated economies of the Bronze Age Eastern Mediterranean empires sometime around 1186 BCE. The majority of ordinary people have seen their living standards decline over the past two decades – a process compounded and accelerated by two years of lockdowns followed by a year of self-destructive sanctions on key resources.”?

I’ve seen this expressed in other but similar ways, but yes. Dr. Morgan is spot on.
It's simple. Governments want to control us by buying us off or using fear. What they should be doing is the opposite. They are now between a rock and a hard place. Read Atlas Shrugged or the Bible for details. As Margaret Thatcher said something like govt is ok until they run out of other people's money.
From an energy perspective you can divide the world into the West(US,UK,Europe,Japan) and everybody else. “Everybody else” is not going along with the Green Energy nonsense and they are never going to. China, Russia, India, Africa, South America, Southeast Asia..... they think we can take our Green New Deals and our windmills and solar panels and shove them where the sun doesn’t shine(pun intended). Think about it. This whole energy Revolution is for roughly 12% of the world’s population. The 88% will not be denied their fossil fuel generated growth and renaissance, just like the West enjoyed for 175 years. We are, to continue the pun, having smoke blown up the same sun deprived region, and we are living a farce. The Great Reset is more propaganda piece than it is reality.
