Editor's Notes
Transcribed by heroic EB contributor Rickey Chang who writes: "I enjoyed this panel so much I decided to transcribe it. I thought you might like this as well." Audio for the program is also at: http://www.postcarbon.org/audio/657788-heinberg-kunstler-foss-orlov-chomsky http://archive.wort-fm.org/mp3/wort_120102_120001apamon.mp3 Rhisiart Gwilymhas a long comment on the program at Media Lens:
Between them, these extraordinary clearseers analyse precisely the catastrophic crises which -- amongst many other things -- are bringing on the steady, relentless collapse of the US empire. ... No-one has any expectation of anything remotely useful coming from the top down to cope in any realistic way with the harsh unbuckable facts of the Synergising Global Crises. All (except Noam, who offers no comment on this matter) are reduced to saying that the only hope left seems to be with local preparation, if you can manage to alarm and energise enough people even at this small scale to pile into action as a matter of now-very-urgent priority. ...
