Interview with Bob Moriarty...

WAY: we offer a lot of political analysis here. Today we link to an interview with Bob Moriarty, a person in business who will suffer financially if his economic views prove incorrect. He once was a US Vietnam pilot who is now anti-empire, anti-Zionism.

Due for End-of-Empire Do-Over?

BM: That's a really interesting question because, obviously, we need more regulation—some effective regulation. We didn't have it. In this situation, everybody involved was guilty. There will be far more rules on offshore drilling in the future and it will drive the cost of energy up.

TGR: That sounds odd coming from you. Normally you're sort of an anarchist and oppose regulations. You're anti-government—you call government impotent, useless and stupid. But in this case, if we'd had better regulations this wouldn't have happened.

BM: If you want to live in a country with no government regulation, move to Zimbabwe. Government regulation is appropriate in some situations. But it has to be efficient. We are at an end of empire. It couldn't possibly be any clearer—we are losing three and a half wars. We want to go nuke Iran, which is not the enemy of anybody, under the theory that they have nuclear weapons when 16 U.S. government agencies agree they don't. It's end of empire.

We are in a state of entropy. Entropy is when something physical degrades into a state of chaos. A tropical depression hitting Grand Cayman could turn into a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico. We could be raining oil on Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida in a week. We could kill everything—all the crops, all the trees, all the fish in a half a dozen states in a week. If we don't do it this week, we'll do it next week or the week after. Oil, literally, is raining on Florida already.

TGR: Will this be the rallying cry to really usher in an era of alternative energies?

BM: Alternative energies are a 3% solution. We have too many people. Look at the curve of energy production and the curve of the population growth. They're identical. Sooner or later, we're going to run out of cheap energy. In fact, we're there.
