Crude Cracks $102 As Egyptian Army "Ready To Die" - Live Feed
WTI Crude futures just topped $102 per barrel (the highest price in 14 months) as Reuters reports 16 dead and Egypt's high command saying the army was ready to die to defend Egypt's people against terrorists and fools, in a response to Islamist President Mohamed Mursi. Their comment (via Facebook) read "We swear to God that we will sacrifice even our blood for Egypt and its people, to defend them against any terrorist, radical or fool," was issued 3 hours after Mursi's TV statement.
3:42 AM LOCAL TIME: THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN TAHRIR WITH A HUGE FIGHT AND AUTOMATIC GUNFIRE REPORTED AT CAIRO UNIVERSITY. 16 DEAD 200 INJURED
On a side note the Brent-WTI spread is collapsing back to pre-Mubarak levels...

GAME ON !!
you didn't build that arab spring revolution...i did, president george barack husein bush obama...
Pretty cool to see, all in all. People taking to the streets to demand political change. I'm convinced that Americans have become so apathetic that nothing short of actual hunger...physical lack of food...would motivate people to get off the couch in most US cities at this point.
until a majority suffers greatly, the populace will be apathetic
I am guessing gold should follow.
That statement was really, really, hard-fucking-core.
I wish a military department head would say that in the US. Instead, they are giving Obama head.
General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi ain't no sissy.
Edit: The Egyptian SCAF Facebook site has 2 million thumbs up. Veeeeery interesting.

OT but lost in the Egypt mess:
Barclays, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank Ratings Cut by S&Phttp://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-07-02/barclays-credit-suisse-deutsche...
Not that it really means anything anymore.
Oh and CNBC is following MSNBC down the "tubes":
CNBC Quarterly Ratings Fall To Lowest Level Since 1994Many of CNBC's leading programs have seen a downward spiral in terms of ratings. The quarterly data show that Mad Money, Squawk on the Street and the Kudlow Report have posted their worst rated quarter ever

OT: Heads up... Bolivia Air Force One just took off from Moscow accroding to this:

Snowden is on his way to Bolivia now?
lololol...oh man...good one!
Jim Rogers dropping in with a brief, "gold still to drop 30%" comment made today just delightful. couldn't be better except if there was a volume-less ramp of 30 points of so in the good old s/p. Hope to see that tmrw and Fri though!
I like Jim, but he's wrong on gold. Gold's bottom is around $1100, probably a bit higher. An outside chance it could crap on a real panic to $1000. The bottom will be in by the end of the summer. Then it's time to fill your bath tub with it.

What's this ruckus about Egypt, Snowden, the EU's ongoing implosion, Japan's Kuroda-san meltdown, China's hard landing, ETC!!!???
Please keep it down...you've interrupted my Zimmerman coverage by Nancy Grace and also my Kim Kardashian baby gossip.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Amerikan Sheeple
Senator Barack Obama (D-IL)
Speech Given on U.S. Senate Floor Objecting To Raising Debt Ceiling Limit
March 16, 2006
Official National Debt at that time: 8 trillion USD (Official National Debt Now? Check the clock above; it's inceasing way too quickly to make any number I post relevant for more than a few minutes from now.)
Judging from what is happening to Snowden, it become obvious how vidicative our Dear Leader is. You keep reminding him of inconvenient truth and you will be next.
Want to go live in an airport ?
Sad that the status quo couldn't hold. I am shocked, shocked!
I thought for sure the deal under the next president would be that each American household will receive a Greek butler, a Spanish maid and a Portuguese gardner. At least that's the GOP plan
The Snowden affair is far from over. I have a feeling these countries will turn against us at some point - due to dollar devaluation, spying, or military excursions - and then Snowden will be accepted with open arms. At some point soon, the world's going to tell obama he's on his own.
Thing that bothers me the the most here is how open the administration is to get Ed.One can only imagine what is going on behind closed doors.
Well now....
What have we got here?
Why, I do believe we have a failure to communicate.
You mean this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj60OAh7O5U
many of these leaders remind me of hard boiled eggs
I'll bite.
Nobody can eat 50 eggs.
If you turn on cable news, you idiots would realize this has nothing to do with the Zimmerman trial and therefore is unimportant to lazy ass couch potato sheeples of this here fine country......
Yep, its the Zimmerman Show!
Yeah, what's up with all the coverage? I have no interest in it, yet I am being told I MUST be interested in it. Somehow both side have turned it into a Red/Blue issue (which is really weird, quite frankly).
Sorry, but NO SALE, MSM. I'm still tuning it out COMPLETELY. World events are much more interesting and important than some he-said/she-said gunshot victim trial.
It's self-reinforcing. They ask what viewers want to see and the viewers see what's on already.
Round and round and round....
There was a very odd and eclectic duo who did an interview not long ago, who claimed that part of the strategy to achieve the oligarchic goal, is to instigate a race war. Apparently, according to this duo, the plan is to completely annihilate the black community in the US and abroad. The way to that would be a race war... basically distract everyone, foster animosity, and sit back and watch as the sides destroy each other... that's 1/2 the problem solved.
Here's teh link, but I have to warn you, you will need to keep a completely open mind to even sit through this. I am willing to listen to a lot of different information and sometimes information that sounds insane, just to make sure I haven't overlooked something obvious, like space aliens are about to invade. :-)
So moral of the story is, fight the urge to be racist should that time arise, as we know it will when people feel and become desperate.

Charlie Manson was way ahead of these guys.
@ranger4564 ... you know? I used to think that, too. I mean, let's create a situation where whites are right to feel seething anger about what is systematically being done to them, and the affirmative actioning, especially of blacks. You don't have to be Karmack to see where that's gonna go.
But ... why did Homeland Security buy so many people killer bullets? They didn't need that many to pacify just the blacks. Or, for that matter, the blacks and Latinos. Too, their "no hesitation" targets did not depict a young Trayvon Martin or kindly looking black gentleman like the roles Morgan Freeman plays, do they?
No. I think that the plan is to eliminate the whites, using as an excuse their revolt against the unspeakable atrocity that is this government, which will probably take form in early stages as a race war. Let's face it ... that affirmative action cutie who just got hired at the Department of Motor Vehicles instead of you or yours is the poster boy of government oppression.
DHS buys ammo so that adequate supplies are surreptitiously available to both sides of conflicts in mixed Latino and Black neighborhoods. Kinda like the Syrian strategy. (Sorry for all the keywords that might attract the NSA.)
the black hole that is "news" in the states is part and parcel of the control that has taken shape over decades and will take only a wholesale calamitous event to change, unfortunately after said event control will still not have been relinquished by those that hold and control it.
.gov has to go completely in all forms.
The purpose of the CNN coverage is to instigate riots after the trial.
That has been the plan all along.
CNN obviously has no coverage of current events, only propaganda, as intended.
Indeed! When I am watching the Egyptian coverage on RT, I on occasion switch to CNN and listen to the whores babble on about Zimmerman and his trial. It is amazing that a Russian TV channel would present full coverage and analysis from different points of view on the crisis in Egypt, political and economic. I mean RT even went into the economic background to the unrest. Yet CNN is diverting all resources to the Zimemrman trial!
The giant fires out west? No coverage.
Syrian war. No coverage.
The melting arctic seas and artic heat wave. No coverage.
The crisis of American spy networks targeting the EU. No coverage.
The rise in interest rates triggering a possible bond melt down. No coverage.
The crisis in Egypt. No coverage.
Fucking useless propaganda wankers and slags at CNN, un fucking believeable!
The revolution and awakening of the people. NO Coverage.
You got it.
Now take your SOMA.
How the media coverage functions is how you tell if there is or is not a liberal in office.
So what do Americans do? They contact their Reps and Senators. And what do the Reps and Senators say about spying or the economy, etc? "We're monitoring it closely." Seriously! I contacted my Senators and Rep about Snowden, asked them to support his amnesty and to stop the spying of Americans. The Rep, a republican, said he'd keep an eye on things, and no answers from either senator,one a dem and a republican. Of the sheeple, by the sheeple.
B-b-but some hoodie scratched some other hoodie and someone got popped! It's a hot mess express!!!
O M G !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Which is to say, the tribal hatred must be reinforced in the USA at all costs, lest we see other ways of being/acting.
Great analysis to all.
there's a reason it's the first amendment. This place is pathetic. It reminds me of the olympic coverage. Compare our MSM to any other country's. All we do is talk about ourselves. Sixth graders have more perspective
Most sixth graders can't spell perspective let alone have it.
...and still, no one cares about your lack of prespective
"...and still, no one cares about your lack of prespective"
Like I said. they can't spell the word. ;-)
Like..you are a blithering idiot*
I got a down arrow!?!?
Well now we know at least ONE public school teacher reads ZH.
For what it's worth, I used to do the hiring for the company I worked for some years ago. I insisted on handwritten resumes (these were highschool grads applying). Not one in ten could spell well enough for the position.
America is Narcissus
The revolution will not be televised:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGaRtqrlGy8
Retards watch TV and Hollywood's shit. If you do - you support The Matrix so shut up. Watch RT on the web. Don't give your money to TV or Hollywood. If you do - you are a sheep.
watch RT instead of hollywood? that's rich...
don't get me wrong; i've got no telly and watch and read rt and presstv, but to say that rt in particular isn't peddling its own brand of bunk is going a bit far.
be that as it may, agreed that rt is far more 'dynamic' and entertaining than any usa television news network.
al-jeezera is another one that's mostly bunk. what should we expect though; what with them based out of qatar?
i pirate TV and Hollywood's shit. does that count?
Most Americans could live on water and vitamin supplements for a few months at the very least. That would be enough time for the gov't to resupply the masses with their beloved Frankenfood.
Water is not a god given right when using it all for fracking and coal emulsion derivatives...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTqvBhFVdvE
According to Nestle's Peter Brabeck at least.
You can get water from the stormtroopers if you grovel naked. Should work out fine.
If I groveled naked they'd shoot me
Normally, when people say stuff like that, it's false humility. In your case, however, I sensed a brief moment of genuine sincerity and candor on the internet.
FWIW, they'd shoot me, too. Probably twice.
The fat bastards should be easy pickings for DHS/military enforcers at that point.
Why do you think they have soap factories in FEMA camps.
"nothing short of actual hunger...physical lack of food...would motivate people to get off the couch"
And what makes you think this isn't the motivation for the uprising in Egypt?
I agree with you. They are hungry in Egypt and not just for food which explain the stories of what happens to women when they go to the square to report the news
Yesterday 430000 people in Hong Kong hit the street to demand free election. Hong Kong people are well to do and yet they risk it just the same.
NOTHING is going to happen in the US no matter what is done to them. Dispicable !
If the American people ever lose their self-respect... watch out!
(just kidding)
Why do you suppose they issue those EBT cards for? KEEPS 'EM ON THE COUCH!
Hunger is the catalyst for revolution.
and when bush, whom i didn't vote for cause i an illegal, came out against mr snowden, i said, that's it, i can't believe i stood up for you even once...we've all been fools to NOT BE LIKE THE EGYPTIANS AND MARCH IN MASS ON ALL OUR PUBLIC CENTERS OF THE WORST AND THE DIMMEST AND DEMAND THEIR OUSTER within 48 hours...we are reasonable people ya know.
I must say that your first act in a new nation should be breaking it's laws to enter. Though I can sympathize with you as to why you may have left your home country.
i was brought here right out of the womb by the cia from an east german orphange in 1976...i never followed their instructions post...they first offered me a job in saudi but i considered myself an american and never realized at the time i was "illegal"...i will stay and fight for usa and my children...i am eastern russian raised by irish bred catholics of korean descent and their memory of freedom must live on.
Then Obama could be your father because they were Irish Kenyan Korean, right?
pardon, but focus on the Worst and the Dimmest...these political and gub folks of all stripes MUST be marginailized as slackers, thieves and dolts, as they are, if we are to win...think of how they marginalized Dr Ron Paul et all, and how effective that has been.
Happee fowth a Julieye ebbotty!!
Emperor Obama: (after reading the above headline) Get that little fuck Mark on the line.
One moment later......
EO: Ya Mark, how the fuck is that general motherfucka able to be using his FACEBOOK account right now!!!! Is there something you dont fucking understand about the three little letters...NSA???????
Mark: (in his little whiney voice) But Uh Sir, I mean your honor, oh ah I mean your excellency........I have shareholders now, and our business model, you know.......
EO: when the fuck have I ever let you think I give a fuck about your business or what model you fuck, cut those God Damn generals access to the masses the fuck off, or I cut your balls off!
Mark: Yes Sir (phone line disconnects) hello.....Sir, are you still there?
Favorite sign: Obama's bitch is our dictator.
Classic.
Obama is dickhead teleprompter reader.
When they oust him, they'll change it to say, "Obama's dictator is our bitch."
I don't read it the same. I get more like:
OBAMA
YOUR (usa people's) BITCH IS OUR (global) DICTATOR
Which is more like a message to the US people that our bitch is their dictator. Which he is......
But you know, maybe that's just me.
Obama's bitch (Mursi / Muslim Brotherhood) is our Dictator.
"Our Bitch is your fake president, american serfs!"

Can we pleaseplaseplase get a mobile version of zh?
I agree...getting tired of dropping my laptop into the toilet!
there has got to be a tiny penis joke in here somewhere.
I find that the iPhone's Safari isn't bad for mobile reading. Commenting may be a different story though.
Do it all the time. If you do it alot, turn off predictive typing, it will help keep down the mistakes. Really long threads can be tedious to scroll through.
Mortgage rates up 1%, gas up to $4, there goes your consumer confidence down the drain! And around and round we go!
Time to fill up.
may be the last time ever to get "cheap" gas. was it really just 4.25 years ago when I was filling up on the way to FL for vaca at $1.37 a gallon? time flies when the Bernank is raping you. of course GS was buying tankers full like crazy at that crude price w/ TARP $ and parking them offshore.
I haven't seen Gas that cheap since 2001. Maybe the 90s actually.
When crude dropped to $39 a barrel in early 2009 it was reflected in pump prices. I kept filling up every day while telling my patient wife that this was the cheapest it would ever be again. By the time we left FL in mid- Feb it was already resuming its climb because the TARP $ was being used to buy the cheap commodities(like I said - GS buying up the tankers to sit on them). After that all of that fucking QE $ kicked in and had to go somewhere and here we are today.
Otto what have you been telling her since then? That was like four years ago.
77 cents in Cape May NJ the day we started in Afghanistan
just think- no QE- no commodity inflation-economic recovery is natural after a painful recession- instead the 2008 problems were never resolved and the inevitable pain is made worse and delayed.
Another house down the street ( 5 houses down ) went to Sheriff sale Monday.
Every time we begin to push $4.00 per gallon life stops here.
Someone adjust the DOW for inflation please.
Cape May NJ? Maybe Bon Jovi and Springsteen can do another concert for Obama. Fat Christie will be there because he has gone to almost every Springsteen concert since he was a wee lad of 265 lbs at age 13.
$100 is perfect for Big Oil and the Saudis. Bank on it.
50 killed in Iraq also. Owebama needs to step up the killing if he wants to keep his bloodthirsty rep intact.
Obama's cannibal army of international terrorists is still encamped in Syria and Obama is shipping heavy anti aircraft and anti tank weapons to his Al-Qaeda forces there. This is how Obam spreads freedom and democracy to Syrians. The nobel peace prize winner is now going to win the Al-Qaeda "man of the year" award. A free dinner with dead Syrians on the menu.
And it is not just the mad man Obama, plenty of republicans are howling like a pack of dogs for Obama to being to bomb Syria's loyal secular army forces to ensure an Al-Qaeda victory and a huge cannibal dinner to celebrate the mass murder of Syria's religoius minorities. The Obama force of Sunni Jihadist terror gangs has already begun to cut the heads of off christians with dull knives. They even post their victories on You.tube.
But Obama gets a free pass, the American people don't care. Let the drones fly and the terrorists eat human flesh. All paid for by the US tax payer. If this shit keeps up, and every sign says it will, Obama will be as blood soaked as Bush when he left office with the mass death in Iraq on his hands.
If only......you could build pipelines for Israeli natural gas out of human bones......if only......
Well if anyone can do it, we can. Dream big O Imperial psychos!
That is starting to sound like the infamous "road of Bones" in Siberia. Built by political prisoner slave gulag prisoners in the 1930's and 40's through the worst Siberian wilderness. So many died they named it the road of bones. See what a little excess government can result in! Obama and all the Washington politicians, from both so called parties, are driving America in the direction of a debt slave, gulag spy state. In fact, the move to end the constitution with the Patriot Act has, in effect, already given the president the powers of a Stalin. He may not yet be able to impose such powers on Americans, but he has the legal right to do it now. This was given him by a congress eager to give such powers to Mr. Bush, but of course we know Obama was going to be just as bad. The nation IS a one party state, and when that becomes the way we are ruled, then the gula's are not far behind.
Why Americans have gladly given their support to the politicans behind the Patriot Act, I do not know. We say we hate politicians, but we elect the same ones over and over again till they die of old age while in office.
I knew they must be lurking somewhere near this disaster.
At what price do Obama emissaries threaten to drain the SPR to kill evil speculators?
that will drive the price down $.50 a barrel for a few minutes.
They stopped harping the spr because its empty.
You will not see mention of it ever again, because it never did, and still doesn't; exist, only a temporary fiat fabrication through refinery prices.
The only buffer we have is militarily, as long as the ships get through, then you wake up tomorrow with green dollars.
Wow! There's tin foil hat and then there's you. You honestly think the Strategic Petroleum Reserve doesn't exist? That is your true belief?
I'm skeptical of the SPR and Ft. Knox .... I believe in Amanda Knox !
She's killer!

I want my mummy!
"I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man."
Fill your tank, you son of a bitch!
an army choosing to defend it's people against the government?
I must be completely insane.
I know, that's so refreshing.
I know, right? The "best and brightest" here in Amerikkka blindly follow any leader that tells them to go kill some brown people somewhere.
The derisive saying "Those who can't do, teach" really should be changed to "Those who can't do, go into the military".
Hollywood is still sticking to the script and pumping out stus quo propaganda. However, the populis is looking at things different. I watched "Olympus down" the other night and found myself rooting for the Korean.
Only problem was I saw a lot of Blackberries, shoulda been Androids.
Hardly the "best and brightest". Surely just a bunch of pig ignorant, cool-aid drinking, homocidal wellfare queens.
Fonz...
Seriously. You, me, we all need to get a grip. It's making less and less sense every moment.
Do not try to rationalize it or make sense of it.
It is unsolvable.
You are not crazy
It is... the it in which we live, the whole temporal world.
Madness.
Do not engage any further...
Let it go
Quit fighting everything and everybody....
Most importantly, quit wrestling with yourself
Let it go...
a few more weeks and preseason NFL begins and all this will go away. whew!
I hope we are around long enough to see the Steelers get another ring.
I'd like to see the Steelers meet the same fate as will Morsi and his gang.
Nothing destroys the City of Pittsburgh more than the Steelers and the sycophantic and maniacal worship of all things Steelers here in Pittsburgh.
I hope you aren't around long enough. How's that?
Jeez, I just said this same thing today to a co-worker.
These non-sequiturs are everywhere I look lately.
Good to know I am not the only one.
Knuks it's like being extracted from the Matrix. Once you realize just how corrupt and bankrupt everything is, it's hard to go back to being ignorant. Problem I have is letting go, but still realizing everything around me is a fabrication.
Coincidentally, you could use that same script while sitting on the toilet
You speak like an American Indian, defeated. Time for the Ghost Dance? Not yet mutherfuckers!
Who's on Morsi's side?
I can only hope that if things fall apart in the US the military will choose the side of the people.
Most of them are likely to be stuck where they are. We're probably on our own.
or perhaps the BroHood is just not good for bidness...
Until this very day, the role of the military establishment in the economy remains one of the major taboos in Egyptian politics. Over the past thirty years, the army has insisted on concealing information about its enormous interests in the economy and thereby keeping them out of reach of public transparency and accountability. The Egyptian armed forces own a massive segment of Egypt’s economy — 25 to 40 percent, according to some estimates. In charge of managing these enterprises are the army’s generals and colonels, notwithstanding the fact that they lack the relevant experience, training or qualifications for this task.
stay snarky my friends.
They're trained and financed by the American military/MIC, so they probably do know what they are doing.
yeah, those classes in shadow bookkeeping probably did wonders for their careers.
They were educated for exactly what they need to know, nothing more, nothing less.
Maybe one group has gone off the pre-programming, and might be acting in their percieved, best interest?
According to The Guardian, UK:
General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, architect of the military intervention in Egypt's worsening political crisis ... was trained at the UK Joint Command and Staff College and did a masters degree at the US army's War College in Pennsylvania.
Yep! No puppets there! A bona fide freedom and justice advocate. All for people'n'shit!
El Sisi : a new character in the latest episode of
As the Empires Churn
The army is bought and paid for by US taxpayers. Any thought that tthey act independently of the masters who pay them would be foolish. When they act, they act as part of US foreign policy. If not for US taxpayer support, the Egyptian Army would be back riding camels and fighting with swords.
It is odd though. The Muslim Brotherhood is a CIA creation and heavily funded by the US taxpayer via US black ops CIA payouts. They then are being threatened by the Egyptian military which is funded by the US taxpayer through military foreign aid budgets and the top officers trained in the USA and UK.
So perhaps we see a conflict between the CIA spooks and the US military foreign officer corps? This story is as strange as they come. The only common factor in it all is that everything is paid for by the US taxpayer. Yes, that is YOU and ME! You couldn't make this shit up if you tried. Really fuck'n strange.
It is the old Rothschild formula for Europe. Fund both sides of the war and make it up on the black market and from the side that wins
I think the U.S. oligarch problem (their ownership of D.C.) is going to get resolved in the very same way. Think about it: this bailing wire and duct tape clusterfuck is going to blow all to hell some day, as there is no economic resoltion; what could possibly happen at that point?
If you've seen Christian Bale's version of Batman, these guys are the Joker
Thank you President Obama for a professional well run foreign policy team starting with the Hildabeast and continuing under Mr. Ketchup. And who can deny the excellent job of intelligence and terror prevention as since you've been elected not one Tea Partier has strapped on a bomb belt and done any damage.
Of course the tens of thousands of dead people throughout the Middle East and victims of domestic terror probably would disagree with the above assessment.
And along with oil....
Egypt on Fire, Iraq bombed, Oil over $102, and Asian Markets are Dropping 1%+ AgainLOL! Mr Ketchup. He sounds like a character from the game Clue
Defending against "terrorists." And I thought the only idea we exported was Kentucky Fried Chicken.
KFC delivered by drone to an orphanage near you.
I'd make a joke about fingers but that would be in bad "taste."
not as bad as "extra crispy"
You get two sides.
LetThemEatRand +1 for speaking with Buzz. I like both of you fellas. You're both fantastic people.
We're all in this together. Though I will PS that I feel bad making jokes when real humans are dying for their freedom, even though I am not a fan of their culture.
Thanks LTER. One of the things , I most appreciate about you, Is your honesty!
I appreciate it. Let's hope that we can continue on with our fight club for many years to come.
LTER, you have a few years on me. I'm just getting started. ;)
You, LTER, and buzzsaw99 are all OK in my book.
Of course, I'm just talking my book...
Bammy broke it, isn't he supposed to buy it?
