" Collapse " Summary

In the documentation “Collapse” by Michael C. Ruppert, I learned that the collapse he was referring to is the oil lost in the world and if people don’t start trying to help save the environment then we will start a new life for humans because we will no longer have oil to provide or lights, gases and transportation. Throughout the documentation Michael discusses how people are in life and how politicians and people with money knew all about the possibility of running out of water and causing a lot of damage to the world. I also learned in the movie that there are many ways that we can still manage to save and keep fertilizer around without having to worry about burning oil. This is a big struggle that the world is facing how can we rise through this collapse if everyone is choosing to ignore it. One problem I realized through the movie is that even though people see all these problems occurring they do nothing to try to help change or fix it. The CIA was smuggling drugs through cops and Michael kept reporting it for years and eventually people started to believe him, but it continued because nobody actually tried to stop it Michael was a police officer and he did what he could to report the situations occurring in the world for over thirty years; he even brought it to the government, but they refused to listen.

One specific quote that made me think a lot about was by saint timothy and it said that the love of money is the root of all money.” To me this quote fits in well with this whole entire document because the greed and selfishness of people in the world have led us to this form of depression with loosing oil. Everybody faces struggle, but if us as a people actually tried to make a change and start saving oil it could help, but all of that is being ignored to fight wars, build more transportation, but what about animals and other life forms isn’t that important?
