Did
A 1965 TV Show Foretell Peak Oil?
Was it just a writer's fantasy?
Or did they know something...
FTW takes
a fun peek into a time when TV shows actually had plots.

(FTW) – In the episode "Yesterday's
Enemies" of
the TV spy thriller Secret Agent (Danger
Man) starring
Patrick
McGoohan, is incredible dialogue regarding the end of the
age of oil. The words could have been penned by Michael
Ruppert himself...except that this show first aired in
the U.S. on 15 May 1965!
The writer was Donald Johnson, the director was Charles
Crichton.
I wonder if they are still around?
It would be fascinating to know how they came about that
piece of data.
Here is the movie clip in
QuickTime format (best!) or an audio only MP3.
