Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 65

the reason whyAs we proceed through the second year of these open posts, it's pretty clear that the official narrative is cracking as the toll of deaths and injuries from the Covid vaccines rises steadily and the vaccines themselves demonstrate their total uselesness at preventing Covid infection or transmission. It's still important to keep watch over the mis-, mal- and nonfeasance of our self-proclaimed health gruppenfuehrers, and the disastrous results of the Covid mania, but I think it's also time to begin thinking about what might be possible as the existing medical industry reels under the impact of its own self-inflicted injuries. 

So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before: 

1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.

2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here. 
 
3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue. 

4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religious, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules. 

With that said, the floor is open for discussion.    

Pandemic, Bovid, Lock Down and Peak Oil Science and the next begging for amnesty

This comment may come as off topic, but Peak Oil, much exactly Peak Tight Oil, more exactly Permian Peak is interrelated to the whole PMC, "science" debate and "experts know better" narrative. One of those discussion that will surely affect our future even more than the whole pandemic, Bovid, lockdown is taking place in the comments of this thread, this against is against people drawing models and people who worked in the field:

https://peakoilbarrel.com/us-august-oil-production-at-post-pandemic-high/#comment-748473

...

If skinny goat pasture away from these core areas was so good, and going to result in so much EURR in the future, why aren’t these Permian guys out there banging away at that stuff at these higher prices? Because it sucks out there, thats why. Pioneer’s jefe just last week said exactly that and that his company is retreating back to the safety of its sweet spots for better returns.

...


It makes for an interesting reading, I would follow Gerry, Mike and Ron, LTO Survivor

If Permian just slows down then, the entire way of living business as usual is over and done in US and pretty much everywhere within Global American Empire sphere.

I think this is very important because it relates with the whole post-pandemic, post-lockdown, post-waxxine tinder box atmosphere, and when everyone and their pundits mentions civil war like is the next Thanksgiving.


An oil crisis in US just when the SPR is at historic lows would be catastrophic. And I can see the PMC class begging for amnesty, that they didn't know better. Check the comments in the thread there people working in oil for 60 years say it loud and clear.




Another of commenters who worked in the field :

...
There is no way the increase you suggest will be happening. Did you notice the aggressive drawdown of DUC inventory in the last 18 months? Without the DUC completions, we would have seen little to no production growth in the Permian (including New Mexico) Prices need to be at least above $125 per barrel to expand drilling and completions taking into account current inflated costs. Furthermore, once we do start seeing production declines, they will be like falling off of a cliff. You will see a greater than a 100,000 BOPD each month.

Another real problem with the Permian is gas take away. The Producers are getting hammered with low Natural gas prices and Pipeline Midstream Companies are loathed to commit a tremendous amount of capital to build to this region when they know, the region will begin terminal decline very shortly.


...



what gives? is this the reason why the Russians and the Chinese buy time?

Maybe our generous guest will open a thread on these matters.

As a long time peak oil follower I'd suggest it's a fool errands trying to guess future oil price or availability

That being sad, sooner or later it will all come crashing down, so why not tomorrow?

The anti-FF rhetoric, legislation and refusal to support investment by banks isn't helping either.

Green energy metrics are just hopeless when you dig in.

Do all civilisations in decline start doing things that look like deliberate suicide?

A good, quick clip. Intrigued to watch this guy speak further; adding full interview to the to do list. Thanks for sharing. This is just a short clip, and I don't know the guest well, but based on first impressions, I didn't realize the guy who played such a big role in greenpeace was so grounded. He came from a logging family, and says it's obviously still a necessary activity, but we need to ponder how it's done. I doubt such a sentiment could still be found in the currently active organization.

He briefly mentions an elite death wish, or a suicide pact. I've long had a sneaking suspicion, which I haven't meditated much on to be honest, that a death cult, along the lines of the Aztecs or Temple of Doom, has gained control of the levers of power. It would not shock me in the least to find out that there is an intention to offer a gargantuan sacrifice to whomever they worship.

From someone who believes in divination, I don't think the same.

Also someone would have argued that it is impossible to know the waxxine effect and what might happen in the future, the whole thread we are speaking on...

Then I'd suggest you use your insight and earn a lot of money betting on the future price of oil on the stock exchange.

I think you will end up like other fools who thought the oil market is easy to predict, a whole lot poorer.

That the vaccines were bad news is child's play in comparison.

I gather your knowledge of oil is pretty much nil. Why not spent a delightful decade or two learning about it? The Oil drum archives is a good start.
