The really big collapse is coming soon.

You might be interested the curves of oil production & consumption have
come together. They are expected to cross either this month or next.

It will be interesting to see the rate of change over the next six months.
Watch this space.

I'm very dismayed at some of the comments I am reading. I'm pro-US and believe in democracy, freedom of speech and free enterprise and so unlike some of you I don't care too much for living under the veil of China. But that's the path Australia's politicians and business leaders have been pushing the country for the past 30 years. I'm quite concerned that a lot of you don't seem to care if your descendants are left to live under the dictates of the Chinese Communist Party.

I agree with the essence of what you say, Mr. Opinion.

Emmm, interesting ! And should this indebted country of ours, with our new found brilliantly feisty Prime Minister, ever get attacked by a potential Asian enemy ? Who exactly will come to our aid ? The good old USA with all it's warts 'n faults and foibles etc., that's who !
God we're a bunch of idiots !

"God we're a bunch of idiots"! you say o sung wu.

Well we sure as hell proved that when we somehow allowed verbal diarrhea Turnbull to become prime Minister.

It is really shameful to have this clown running around motor mouth at full revs, in our name.

The is the USA has trashed its constitution with the Patriot Act, NDAA and Obama's executive signing orders for more wars.
The assassination of JFK was a coup that brought about fascism in the USA. China is no great role model either but at least they are not pushing for a nuke war like Senator Lindsey Graham and inane John McCain. China and Russia are winning the peace through real production and taking control of their banking systems.

When economies crash,central bankers and Govts push for war to distract the masses and make money selling arms. Corruption now pervades the West and we are in serious trouble.

This is the best summation of global power plays I've seen. Michael Rivero is a must listen.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltYhHSTeIUo
