Nearly everyone assumes that the world economy can continue to grow for many, many years into the future. The physics of the situation indicates that this is not true, however. We are now in a situation where there is not enough inexpensive-to-extract energy for the economy to continue to grow; near-term collapse seems very likely. The response of the economy to COVID-19 is evidence of the extent of inadequate supply of energy of the kind required. In some ways, the situation bears similarities to the end times problems forecast in the book of Revelation.

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

tl;dr: old peak-oil theories recycled and mixed with a dose of conspiracy theories. Better spend your time reading something else :(
Could you give us just an argument or show anything this article is wrong with?
From the article:
This is an absurd conspiracy theory and that is just one of many such examples in the later part of the article.
Wow!! I didn’t read the article, just a quick look at the graphics, but it’s incredible how people can mix reasonable data with silly stuff like microchips in vaccines.
Thanks for your comment!
