David Lammy?s Vision is So Awful It Gives Me Hope That Something Has Got to Give Sat Jan 18, 2025 11:00 | Dr David McGrogan
Foreign Secretary David Lammy set out "the future of the U.K.'s foreign policy" this week. It's an abysmal vision, says Dr. David McGrogan, but it gives hope that the edifice of 'progressive realism' will soon collapse.

OIL, SMOKE & MIRRORS (2006, 50 minutes)
Produced and directed by Ronan Doyle
OIL, SMOKE & MIRRORS (2006, 50 minutes)
Produced and directed by Ronan Doyle
Peak Oil is a subject of no little controversy. We don't know exactly at what point in time global fossil fuel production will reach its maximum, and what the effects of the following period of declining supplies and reserves will be. People who believe that it's imminent have been decried as alarmist, and those who say we'll have plenty of time to prepare for it have been accused of naivete.
Ronan Doyle's film addresses the subject in the context of the September 11, 2001 World Trade Center attacks and the resulting "War on Terror", arguing that Peak Oil is fast approaching, and that many of the world's developed nations have based much of their recent domestic and foreign policies on this fact. Interviewees include Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed, Philip J. Berg, Christopher Bollyn, Colin Campbell, Julian Darley, Richard Heinberg, Michael Meacher MP, Paul Roberts, Chris Sanders, David Shayler and Webster G. Tarpley.
Oil, Smoke & Mirrors has been seen at events and festivals all over the world. It has also notably been removed from a number of programmes where it was due to be shown, most recently at a festival in Geneva. Whatever your views on Peak Oil, Iraq, Sept. 11 or US foreign policy, it's a film well worth seeing, one of the more thought-provoking pieces of work to come from Ireland in the last few years.
There'll also be music, of course: Rollers/Sparkers are not only good friends of Ronan as well, but will also be releasing an album on our label in a few months, so the two-thirds of them that aren't in the UK right now will be DJing as The Mohn & Jonty Show.

Because of the special nature of this Lazybird, it'll be free in, although a voluntary donation of a euro or two that we can give to Ronan and the Rollers for their efforts would be much appreciated. Hope to see you there.
Thanks,
~lazybird~

At what time is this film showing and where?
You can't expect an event notice to tell you things like time and place...
There is a version with lots of comment replies of Andrew's article: "The politics and reality of the peak oil scare" on Indymedia here: http://www.indymedia.ie/article/81815
And there is also an earlier article to the one above titled: "Anarchism and the Peak oil argument " which can be found here: http://www.anarkismo.net/newswire.php?story_id=2672
In the past year or so many writers of this topic and related topics have really began to clarify a lot of things and one of the clearest writers on this has probably got to be Richard Heinberg. It is well worth reading through his monthly Museletters: http://globalpublicmedia.com/topics/museletter and http://www.richardheinberg.com/museletter
In the past year he has come to the conclusions and many agree is that after Peak Oil, we essentially very soon afterwards reach Peak Everything. He and others too have said that the economy is probably no longer going to grow as it did for the first half of the oil age. This has big implications for the money supply, the creation of debt and of course your pension, because if the stock market on average is not going to be growing, then is your pension?
would have been interested in this - shame there was no time, place, or entrance fee info provided.
