Kunstler on the Future City and Shrinking the Technosphere.

The Future City.

The essay as published in The Baffler: TheBaffler.com: "Salvos: The Metropolitan Museum of Rot: The Shrinking Future of the American City."

Kunstlercast 282: "Shrinking the Technosphere with Dmitri Orlov."

Episode 509 of the C-Realm podcast, "The Shale Intermezzo." KMO interviews Kunstler about the "potential of formerly industrial small towns and cities to adapt to the coming new energy and financial realities...".

A few years ago, Kunstler had KMO on his own podcast: KunstlerCast 252: "Chatting with KMO of the C-Realm."

Orlov: Ukrainian Unrest

Dmitri Orlov: Ukrainians on Verge of Nervous Breakdown.

Proyect vs. Orlov

Proyect: The Disinformation Campaign on the Ukraine Gathers Momentum.

Orlov: Reichstag Fire in Kiev. Proyect doesn't even deign to mention Orlov's name.

I don't know much about what's happening there, like most everyone, and one can dispute Orlov's article, but dismissing it as a "pile of garbage" means not bothering to read Orlov's other posts, in which he addresses the post-Soviet collapse, which he attributes to a crash in oil revenues, not the U.S.-Russian arms race.

I added ClubOrlov and SharonAstyk to the Peak Oil section of my list of links, which can be accessed by clicking on "All Links" in the sidebar.
