The immediate meta-situation is Peak Oil. The latent meta-situation is Post-Peak Oil. All social, economic and political phenomena are determined by a society's ability to harness energy, ergo to do work. When a society's ability to harness energy is depleted, then work cannot be accomplished. Social, economic and political collapse is imminent. Please read the Peak Oil links in the Resources Page. Discover your own Peak Oil sites. Determine for yourself the inescapable validity of our predicament and its consequences so that you may own the responsibility of clear perception. This is the terrible incentive to see clearly, to assume responsibility, to crawl through the morass and denial of ideological vanity, parochialism and ineptitude in order to take appropriate political action.

Woman Dies and Her Son Is Injured After Chasing Fuel Thieves, June 24, 2009

This story, printed in Britain's The Independent, is a portent of things to come. Gas thefts are up all across the board in industrialized societies, from pump-and-dashes, to siphoning, to draining heating tanks. In all likelihood, within a couple of years tanker truck deliveries to retail gas stations will be done under armed guard. At $139/barrel for crude, people are reacting to losing merely a handful of their several hundred "energy slaves." What will things be like at $200/barrel and beyond?

Peak Oil: These Words Must Be Spoken, by Sebastian Ronin, June, 2008

The price of oil is destined to hit $200 a barrel by year’s end. This opinion is offered not by some wild-eyed survivalist, but by the prestigious investment bank, Goldman Sachs. Within several years the price may well be at $300 or $400 a barrel. Life as we have known it is about to end. (Continued)

Perfect Storm Brewing, by Sebastian Ronin, April, 2008

As at April 18, 2008 a barrel of crude on the New York Mercantile Exchange closed at $116.69 US. This most recent price increase was being attributed by analysts to rebel instability in Nigeria. A Nigerian rebel group has claimed responsibility for sabotaging a pipeline run by a Royal Dutch Shell PLC joint venture. Rebel instability now joins financial hedging by the investment community as the factors contributing to the rise of oil prices, courtesy of the corporate media. (Continued)

Political Mandate and Identity Shift to the Proposed Novacadia Independence Party, by Sebastian Ronin, April, 2008

During the course of "marketing" my independent candidacy in Central Nova in 2007 I became affiliated with the fledgling Atlantica Party. Our point of mutual concern and interest was the notion of Maritime Union for the Atlantic provinces. However, we disagreed fundamentally on the political motives for Maritime Union to such an extent that I felt it was in everyone's best interests to simply withdraw my support. (Continued)

The Clarity Act (2000): An Overview

The Clarity Act (2000) is federal legislation that enables provinces to legally secede from Canada. The act sought to clarify the legalities of Quebec seceding from Canada, but applies equally to all provinces. By extension, one unified Novacadia province can use the Clarity Act (2000) to legally secede from Canada. (Continued)

Novacadia, by Thomas H. Naylor, Second Vermont Republic

Some proponents of Vermont independence would like to see it become and remain a stand-alone nation, completely independent of either the United States or Canada. Others have proposed that it join Canada or an independent Quebec. My own favorite fantasy would be for Vermont to join Maine, New Hampshire, and the four Atlantic provinces of Canada to create a new nation I would call Novacadia. (Continued)
