Criminals join the club when they perpetrate crimes, and of course the best way to perpetuate a criminal enterprise is by covering it up under the (false) color of law. If you are speaking about the energy industry as a whole, then that includes human energy that is often (a decisive majority) mislead by criminals posing as the government. If instead you are speaking about the petroleum markets as a dominant slice of the energy industry as a whole, then the word collapse may actually be a cleared up example of deception. Those who create (criminally) enforced monopolies within their power to enforce said monopolies (every undefended market is clearly going to be taken over by criminals) give way to the next, and then the next, and then the next, group gaining the largest slice of the criminal markets, history shows this clearly. Currently there are three major criminal markets and petroleum is not on the list.
1. Deception
2. Effective threats of violence
3. Offensive (criminal) violence
When the criminals take over that is the list of powers (energies) commanded by the criminals as they deal in the markets the way they choose. That is a list of supplies of capital, and the supply of that type of capital is limited by a few factors, such as the ability of those who are targeted for deception, threat, and violence, to defend themselves against deception, threat, and violence, and so far the clear, accurate, account, is such that the victims are relatively powerless in the face of all that capital brought into those markets by those criminals .
When moving from the capital of mind control, whereby the capital listed above is contained within individual minds, victims and criminals alike, moving to physical forms of capital, there then is a competitive list of physical forms of capital that can include that form known as petroleum.
1. Money in free markets, and the obvious counterfeit form of money when the criminals take over.
2. Drugs in free markets, and the obvious criminal employment of drugs when the criminals take over, such as the Opium War example provided by the criminals running the East India Company (with their easy to recognize flag) as those criminals ran drugs, slaves, and weapons so as to capture as many markets as was in their power to accomplish.
3. Slaves, or human capital, those enslaved by physiological means (loving their chains, and licking the boots of their masters) as well as those enslaved by less covert means.
4. Land, which includes control over the points of access to petroleum.
5. Water
6. Air
If there is a so called collapse during the waning age of oil dominance, and fewer, and fewer, and fewer, people are captured into that criminal market, then those experiencing said collapse certainly know precisely what collapse means in their time and in their places. Those who already disconnected from dependence upon petroleum are insulated to a large extent from so called collapse.
As to who knows which petroleum market competitor (in the criminal run markets) will do what, when, where, and why, my guess is that even those attending the company meetings are themselves very aware of the concept of deception, and they too are likely to be hedging their bets concerning the validity, and the accuracy, of the stated intentions of those in charge of those competitors in petroleum markets run by criminals. Joining criminal markets has obvious risks.
