I would have said no. This topic comes up every few weeks and never results in anything or really makes any connection (direct or indirect) to peak oil. The name the commenter selected underlines that their interest is in the conspiracy not the energy implications.

But I don't think there is a right or wrong here. As the site grows, it is worth discussing how broad the topic range should be. I certainly don't believe my opinion is worth more than anyone else's and wouldn't want anyone to restrict their range of comments based solely on my feedback.

connection (direct or indirect) to peak oil.

Indirect connections:

  1. The use of oil to power the machines of war now deployed.
  2. use of resources/materials instead of creating a soft landing, used in a way that causes destruction of infrastucture elsewhere.
  3. the whole US Dollar economy/oil angle.   Was the war started to have people watch something other than the USD and economy.
  4. The elected people are lying to the voters

I didn't say there aren't indirect connections that exist. I said the commenters don't make the link - or even try.

There are probably indirect links between energy and just about everything. However the 911 issue comes up frequently and usually just rambles on without any progress or either side convincing the other. This thread is a pretty good example. Do you think this discussion is closely related to peak oil?
