Michael Ruppert is a controversial figure, even inside the peak oil movement.  I do not agree with his perspective on some things (but as I have said before, I do not agree with anyone all the time...).  I am posting this link to his post on From the Wilderness today as a perspective to be considered and discussed, as parts of the piece are quite germane to peak oil (especially in the face of government response to this tragedy) and today's events. Suffice it to say that I do not necessarily subscribe to some of his hypotheses...
