A Fog of Mendacity
- James Howard Kunstler -
He's certainly right about the desperation of Americans to believe any seemingly hopeful interpretations of our current energy situation. It has been said that the amount of capital expended to get the gas and oil out of the ground and processed in the plains states has already surpassed the inherent value of those resources. It's true in other areas of American life as well: Foreign policy, politics, anti-civil liberties legislation, banking, manufacturing, consumption, employment (and unemployment), the state of our natural environment (No, the earthquake in Japan and its subsequent irradiation of almost everyone's environment is nothing to worry about. The same holds true for the oil gusher in the Gulf - Oh, nothing to worry about down there. Simply a minor glitch in our production mode. Voila! It's fixed!). It seems the more critical an area of our civilization and economy becomes, the more lies accompany any analyses, studies and investigations concerning them and the inescapable impact for the average American citizen/saver/investor is lost beneath the increasing tonnage of lies, deceptions, half-truths, misdirections and swindles flowing from the concerted efforts of the propaganda arms of the US Government and Corporate power structure which not only impede us from addressing our dilemmas, but from disarming the culprits and reducing the damage they are and have been leveling throughout our society. Almost everything crucial is attended by lies, big lies. Almost all sane attempts to respond to the litany of disasters which have become and continue to grow more severe are met with scoffing ridicule or patronizing silence. Whistleblowers are now vigorously prosecuted. Public displays of dissent are being violently responded to. Obvious truths are being ignored (Jon Corzine is still enjoying his freedom and those ultra-high radiation levels found by university scientists in the western USA are simply the fantasies of fear mongers - among a host of other things). It seems that the power structure's greatest efforts and largest financial outlays (aside from filling their own pockets) are directed at developing and administering the placebos they believe necessary to keep the rowdy masses not only docile, but cowed; yet placebos do not affect the course of a disease, they simply make one feel better as they're staggering to the grave.

Beginning of the headline :
Those frightening sounds, sights, and odors on the wind this foreboding snowless winter - like emanations from some back ward of a global psychiatric hospital - are the signs of a nation going completely mad. The traumatic rise of oil prices above the $100 level is one irritant, prompting a range of people-who-oughta-know-better to gibber and fulminate as though they'd been locked in the nation's attic since Thanksgiving with nothing to do but play with a box of pencils...
