Islamic State's Ultimate Goal: Saudi Arabia's Oil Wells
Submitted by Claude Salhani via OilPrice.com,
For the terrorist group known as the Islamic State, Syria and Iraq were a good place to start their campaign, but in order to survive and prosper it knew from the outset that it had no choice but to set its sights on the ultimate prize: the oil fields of Saudi Arabia.
It is in that direction that the battle for control of the world’s largest oil fields is currently heading.
Islamic State -- which has its origins in al-Qaeda – knows fully well that in order to sustain itself as a viable and lasting religious, political, economic and military entity in the region, it has to follow the same objectives established by al-Qaeda when Osama bin Laden broke off his relations with the Saudi monarchy and vowed to bring down the House of Saud.
Bin Laden’s ire at the Saudi monarchy stemmed from the fact that Saudi King Fahd bin Abdulaziz Al Saud invited the American military to use Saudi Arabia as a staging area to build up forces to take on the then Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein after Iraqi troops occupied Kuwait in August of 1990. Bin Laden objected to the presence of “infidels” in the land of the two holy mosques, and asked the king to allow his outfit to tackle Saddam Hussein’s troops.
Similarly, IS knows that it will only feel secure once Saudi Arabia is part of the Caliphate, and its oil fields are under IS control -- which is why the group has two logical next steps.
First, to capture and secure the most important country in the Muslim world: Saudi Arabia.
If the battle for Syria and Iraq attracted tens of hundreds, (some say tens of thousands) of young Muslims, the battle for control of Islam’s two holiest sites, Mecca and Medina, are very likely to attract many more fighters into the ranks of the Islamic State.
And second, to take on the United States -- the one remaining superpower that could stop its march on the oilfields of Saudi Arabia, and ultimately the rest of the Gulf.
After much hesitation, it now appears that the Obama administration has come around to realizing the true danger posed by IS. Washington, along with some of its NATO allies, is now formulating a plan to defeat IS.
However, it may be wise to point out that Washington’s track record in dealing with Middle East problems has not been something to crow about. As a point of reference, one need only mention Iraq and Afghanistan -- both prime examples of how not to do things.
Even if the U.S. can defeat IS militarily, any victory would only be temporary since eventually, U.S. troops will pull out and the remnants of IS would emerge from their respective hiding places, as they did after Saddam Hussein’s capture and death. Indeed, a U.S. intervention -- through its massive air campaign -- will foment even greater animosity toward the West in general, and the United States, in particular. It’s all déjà vu.
The one power that can effectively move against IS in a manner that would appear legitimate to other Muslims is Saudi Arabia, as Nawaf Obaid, a fellow at Harvard University’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, and Saud al-Sarhan, research director at the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies pointed out in a joint opinion piece published Sept. 9 in the New York Times.
The authors dispute the widely believed notion that Saudi Arabia created IS and is funding it. “Saudi Arabia is not the source of ISIS -- it’s the group’s primary target,” they write.
As Obaid and al-Sarhan put it, “The Saudi leadership has a unique form of religious credibility and legitimacy, which will make it far more effective than other governments at delegitimizing ISIS’s monstrous terrorist ideology.”
What makes IS powerful today is the fact that they laid out their military strategy based on where oil fields are located. The fact that they went after northeast Syria and northern Iraq is not coincidental by any means. Islamic State may be ruthless and brutal, but it is first and foremost a terrorist organization with an astute business plan.
The capture of oil wells in Syria and Iraq has made the group financially self-sufficient. Now it’s all or nothing.

Oh fuck me. More war propaganda.
...so...how big a boy are you?...cuz i'll whup yer arse...
Why don't they go for the ultimate prize of Russia's gas fields and see how that works out for them?
That's it. Now I'm gunna whup yer arse...
the saudis' already have a response for isis. this is their response to isis.

Since when has Zerohedge become the mouthpiece of propaganda for NWO.
IS Zerohedge calling for war to stop ISIS?
Oohhh, scary, they're taking Saudi oil field and collapse US economy. Send the goyims over there quick.
Too bad the wells are almost empty.
Since when has Zerohedge become the mouthpiece of propaganda for NWO.
Right, because ZH posts something that doesn't back the ridiculous Saudi-IS connection conspiracy, they must be NWO. Maybe your tin-foil hat is on too tight.
"The spice (oil) must flow" - Dune
Too late for the boots, save the watch....
We already knew that a tightening oil market = eternal ME occupation.
Regardless - we're looking forward at a continuing collapse in the global economy.

Oh now I see why ISIS, basically the mercs that the US hired to previously do their dirty work in the Middle East has now become the US's worst enemy....because they also want part of the OIL in Saudi's backyard.....if ISIS wasnt so ambitious, they would still be working for the US...but of course, when you work with the US on anything, you will realize that they are just using you, probably as a scape goat, like they did with Osama Bin Laden.
this is the part of this giant piece of fiction where the Saudis, who have been used by the zionists/usa (or do i repeat myself) get thrown under the bus... saudis should have known from the beginning, this day would come.
What better way to cover your tracks then to pretend your terrorist army is your enemy? If the USA gets involved, even better. Which nation's army consumes more oil than all others?
Bingo Sam. Financed by saudis. Saudis want their oil to be more dear, take competitors oil offline. People wising up then "threaten" saudi arabia from ISIS. I'll believe the ISIS attack when I see it. Sure is a good day to be at war with west asia.
yes, Saudia Arabia want to have their oil fields conquered by IS. Absolutely brilliant work, guys.
http://mycatbirdseat.com/2014/07/the-unfolding-of-yinons-zionist-plan-fo...
Yeah the Saudis, but not the Israelis, also did 9/11.
True story.
Is this a propaganda thing, or did we create a monster that we lost control of? We don't have a clue what's really going on over there, except we can say that, whatever this development really is, it points towards war.
From the general thinking in DC, the USA should bomb Syria just to be safe.
pods
Replace "Iraq" with "Syria" and it just doesn't have the same ring to it.

back door into Syria/Lebanon - spread chaos in Iraq outside Kurdistan, begin moving on to Iran...
"Is this a propaganda thing, or did we create a monster that we lost control of?"
Remember the first reaction to ISIL: "we didn't see them coming".
So, America, with its mass spying devices PRECISELY aimed a terrorism, wouldn't "have seen coming" a highly organized army in one of the hottest terrorism spots of the planet?
So, unless they are dribbling cretins, of course they knew well in advance that this army was forming, where it was trained, who funded it, what its agenda was, everything.
And I think that answers the question. And nobody has lost any control of anything. Right now, the ISIL army is following the agenda to the letter: give America a pretext to invade Syria.
U.S. intelligence didn't see the Boston bombing cumming either.
Figure that in too.

To answer your question of Zerohedge.com becoming the mouthpiece for the NWO...
When was anytime in the past a user banned for making anti-NWO comments? (I know about racist cheesepope comments and Francis Sawyer. You can attack Zionists without attacking Jewish people. In fact far too many non Jewish people are ZIONIST.)
You can see that I make anti-NWO comments most of the time. I have even demonstrated how to make weapons to fight the bastards on this website. I am still here. So are you.
It is most strategic NOT to underestimate the enemy.
Intel is vital. We must know what they are thinking.
Now we can attack their propaganda and their rhetoric at will.
Instead of censoring the Intel, and presenting our own line of propaganda, we need to be concentrating on exposing the propaganda for that which it is.
I am not interested in propaganda but my interests lie in the exposure of the truth.
(For instance there was a jewel hidden within this article which I need to research. Osama bin Laden actually offered the House of Saud to take out Saddam Hussein and the first Gulf War was absolutely unnecessary? Now that is a mind blower. I did not know that. Did you? That should piss you off if you are antiwar. IF TRUE IT PISSES ME OFF!!!)
Our comments are not censored on the criticism of the articles presented. There is a reason for that.
Tyler did not author this article. But he exposed it to daylight. That is his job.
Now you think about it.
Look up a man named Dimitri Khalezov. He talks a lot about how that plays into 9/11, the whole bin laden and Saudi aspect.
Take on the US. Could this article be.more silly.
You’ve got it all wrong here's the ultimate response from Mexico.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pv5HZ1IT8Zo
Ha! The day they attack the evil empire of the Sauds even I would consider joining them. Just too bad IS won't cut of the hand that feeds them anytime soon.
I wouldn't. If they attack Saudi, that means that they're real and they're not what you would call nice. I dislike Saudi Arabia quite a bit, but I'm not going to fall for that enemy of my enemy shit.
Hmm. Choosing between the ISIS nuts and the Sauds, if it turned out that the first one were for real, would be an interesting dilemma. At least in an IS-world you know who to hold accountable and who to eventually rebel against as opposed to what is the case in the western world, including Saudi Arabia.
I wouldn't choose. I would dig in and prepare to survive the coming economic shocks without the Saudis.
I think that IS has probably seen how Russia deals with pirates and thieves.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1toRYJC3_Es
I couldn't find the video of where the Russians captured a pirate vessel, searched the ship for any weapons, tied all of the pirates (30 or 40 of them) around the pilothouse and then set the ship on fire. There have been a lot of Russian flags flying on ships in that area from that point on.
If they tried that Russia would mash them up into little tiny ISIS meatballs.
Puts $100 on Overfed.
LOL!
ZING!
This article fails to mention that Osama bin-Laden (not Obama sin-Laden, Droner-in-Chief) was a member of the Royal Saudi household until he was disowned by them. That is the reason why he wanted to bring down the house of Saud, vengeance.
"The capture of oil wells in Syria and Iraq has made the group financially self-sufficient"
So, does that not make the groups purchasing the oil from IS held oil wells terrorists? Are these buyers of IS oil not knowingly funding terror? Who exactly is doing the purchasing and where is the oil being delivered to? What currency is this oil purchased in and do the funds not get transferred through the BIS?
Follow the money. Same as it ever was.
Problem is, oil is like crack. Even people who have no malice in their hearts will do fucked up things to get some when they're hooked.
I believe you are right and I believe they are selling it far below market price. Hence the drop in Crude. I also believe that the "folks" buying may be our "allies" and that is why were haven't heard more about this.
It doesn't have to be our allies. I wouldn't consider China an ally, yet we cannot afford to piss them off too bad right now. I'm not saying that China is the buyer, but it could be a country like China. Whatever is really going on over there, we've worked ourselves into a mess, that's for sure.
The oil was purchased by Israel through the Kurds. It's how we know ISIL is USA/Israeli.
MMMMMMhmmmm...thanks for cracking the code on that mystery, M8!
The US would love that! Total justification to bomb the shit out of those fields and make the US's percentate of oil production even bigger! Dolla dolla make you holla, oil style!!!
Of course Russia will silently support this move.
Perhaps the silver lining to this will be to make the Mid East (S.A.) energy resouce irrelevant. Hmmmmm, no more M.E. war over oil. Hmmmmmm...
Maybe that's why Russia hasn't helped out Syria, their ally. Why hasn't Russia taken unilateral action and bombed ISIS in Raqqa?
The russians are giving the Syrians large numbers of weapons. They are loyal to loyal countries.
Oil is already priced lower than it should be to justify current levels of production. If it goes up to where it should be, you will see another economic crisis in the US and Europe. You cannot take Saudi levels of production offline without serious reprocussions to the global economy. Just remember, most oil is fungible. Take one country's supply off the market, and it will search elsewhere to replace that supply, and there is not a lot of slack in the global oil supply system.
Very true, and getting a new field producing is about a 2 year project.
I bet that picture was taken somewhere in Langley
They're coming! They're coming! HAAAAAAAAAAA! We're all gonna die!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont buy this at all, if anything.... Iran will be the target not Saudi.
They dont have a chance against Saudi's defence, but they wiill have a chance against a sanctioned and struggling Iran.
Iran may or may not have nuclear capability but that means shit when a) the threat is on your doorstep and b) you are facing guerilla warfare.
Is this Faux News? wtf, thought I already blocked that channel?
Sorry, sounds like it's actually your philosphical mentors at the New York Times.
What's that Solar ETF ticker again???? Oh yeah, TAN! Thanks.
umm, what? please explain...have I disturbed the Zio-trolls, again? kind of like stepping on a hornet nest, except at least they can sting, you guys are just pure comedy!
Ah ha ha Take that shit Saudis! Lost control already.
"Saudi Arabia's Oil Wells"
Mine! They're all MINE, damn you!
For the terrorist group known as the Islamic State, Syria and Iraq were a good place to start their campaign, but in order to survive and prosper it knew from the outset that it had no choice but to set its sights on the ultimate prize: Mecca, which happens to be in Saudi Arabia.
The oil wells are just a value added bonus.
Well, C'MON now.
If you were the 12th Imam, where would you go?
The golf course? I don't think the rest of the Muslim world will take too kindly to an Allah themed golf course in Mecca or anywhere else for that matter.
Besides if those wells are almost dry anyways it is not like they are worth much in the bigger scheme of things. Think of it this way if they really had that much oil left then US and it's big oil companies would want to hold onto them or at least be able to pump those wells since ISIS sure as hell doesn't have the equipment or expertise to do it themselves in an efficient non-money losing manner. You think petrodollar is going to allow large oil deposits to be controlled by a supposed enemy that sanctions will be in place against doing business which includes contracts for pumping said wells in the first place.
Why? Because http://themillenniumreport.com/2014/07/saudi-arabia-joining-brics-abando... ???
If there is any truth to that, IS may just be setting their sights on Arabia. At the behest of the US State Dept. and CIA.
Listen Claude. This is not "COMPLETELY" true. Their ultimate goal is to create a better world. One without the "BLOODY" Americans!
Are you sure they don't want bloody americans? I thought they hated us for our freedoms? Oh, you meant that bloody...
Could we not wait till the Sauds and IS folks have killed most of each other off before we bother to get involved. We can play clean up this time, not point man.
Even if the U.S. can defeat IS militarily, any victory would only be temporary since eventually, U.S. troops will pull out and the remnants of IS would emerge from their respective hiding places, as they did after Saddam Hussein’s capture and death.
Permanent war sounds like permanent victory to me.
Not my victory, but hey - I don't count for shit!
Maybe the Minstry of Truth can tell us what we should think? - 1984
@ Spastica Rex
Defeat IS militarily also involves TSA/militarism police to take on Dearborn MI
and other Muslim enclaves within USA
No blood for oil!
How about *your* blood for oil? I'm ok with that.
Zio-troll! always convenient how US must "fight for oil" against your enemies...
Quip-ziddel! Gabba-gabba for to now zionist "the people" truth to power!
Got you in such a rage you can't even put a coherent sentence together? LOL
ZING!
How about this: Without oil, there will be blood.
Do you know where your last meal was produced? I don't know where all of my meals were produced, but that is getting less and less true all of the time.
As much as i dislike SA i stiil would like to boil my potato's and vegies this winter.
Get a chain saw.
Cooking over wood, while more challenging than something that has a knob to control the heat, does impart a wonderful flavor upon foods. It takes practice to get the coals and flames right, and the heat is rarely perfectly even, but once you learn how to do it, you will enjoy the evening where amongst your cooking utensils you have a grate, an axe and some matches. I learned this while camping.
@ El Vaquero
we got a problem Huston...
most of us got no wood-stove or chimney in our section 9 housing
and the closest tree is across the city some 6 miles away.
Oh well, I'll just burn down whitey's house...
I've got tons of trees near me. So many, in fact, that I'm digging big pits and burying wood where I'm growing food.
Now, you people in NYC are totally fucked when Central Park is stripped bare. I would say "move to where the wood is," but if you're thinking about my place, I've got a .30 cal that says NO!
Dude I think by now most people know that ISIS is Saudi Arabia's mercenary army. The reason they dress in black in the desert and wear tennis shoes and ride Toyota trucks is because the script is a trick played on sheeple. Rumsfeld, Cheney and the Saudis took down the World Trade Centers and they are preparing to attack the US land mass again.
Wait till they get to Ghawar and find out it's empty.
We should liberate that oil before ISIS does.
Ok, here's the plan. We liberate that oil...with a money bomb...we send Saud tanker-loads of green paper...then, THEY give us the oil in exchange....
So krazie ti just mite werk...
How the fuck are they even selling oil? We should just show up at the distribution point and take it all. Are you telling me that we can't take out a few dozen rag heads garding a pipeline?
Listen. We already linked to this. The "TANKERS" that are transporting the stolen oil to the EU are picking it up in Turkey. They are flying the Israeli flag.
Getting "CONFUSING" huh? The read this it will add clarity.
http://www.voltairenet.org/article185132.html
The fox news bimbos yeah those cuties, are all saying ISIS is coming to rape them, enslave them, and eventually make them convert to islam. They dont want to give up their shopping and other frivolous lifestyles apparently.
Listen. If that thought doesn't make you want to "JOIN THE ISIL" I don't know what will!
And so...naturally POTUS is now attacking ISIS...bekuz....foxy news grlz?
If oil can't rally in this environment, demand must be total shit. The depression is getting worse.
Oil is being forced lower for the elections as usual, has little to do with demand
^This^
Current extraction rates are not supported for anything under $130/bbl given today's tax structures and business models. Just like AU, oil is being manipulated. This is to maintian an unmaintainable status quo.
“The Saudi leadership has a unique form of religious credibility and legitimacy, which will make it far more effective than other governments" REALLY? credibility? They imprison or kill anyone who does not bow to or agree with their version of islam. its a crime to convert from islam and they do fund terror
And they hunt down Christians in thier country and kill muslims who convert to christianity. I can not see how that could even be marginally considered religious credibility.

this is just Barry's shit show which is a side show
the economy is fucked and distractions are abundant - much thanks to the MSM for ignoring the elephant in the middle of the living room
a market crash so shake things up a bit and force the hand of the MSM to report on something that matters
When the feeding hand getting bitten is the House of Saud, I find it awfully hard to feel bad about the rabid dog.
SpanishGoop: As much as i dislike SA i stiil would like to boil my potato's and vegies this winter.
Woodstove, it's carbon neutral too. LOL.
Can we just stop inflaming shit in the Middle East already.
What a crock of shit.. How fucking stupid does this author think we are?
I would not feel bad if some one glassified Meccah and Medina, cutting the heads off this hydra once and for all.
Yeah they were funding them. Like morons they funded them and told them to go elsewhere. Yeah right. Anyone with a brain knew they were funding their own eventual destruction. The Saudi's always dance to the tune of their British masters, of course, because they wouldn't be in power unless for them.
Of course MI6 and CIA had a lot to do with it as well. This is classic British clandestine tradecraft.
We all did this with Al-Qeada and we got 9/11, ruinous wars, our rights taken away, and added a bunch of needless bureaucracies like TSA and DHS. We didn't learn our lesson, and now we have IS/ISIS/ISIL. Another round of British Empire clandestine tradecraft blowback.
But we should remember how Iraq got to be such a menace. Because we used them as a counterweight to Iran. Of course Iran turned from us because we put a dictator in charge for a quarter century after having the CIA assasinate Mossadegh.
So as you can see we're onion layers deep of British intelligence style actions creating a problem, and then doubling down, tripling down, quadrupling down on more British Bullshit. Time and time again, until we have this complete clusterfuck shitshow.
Time to end the British Empire.
Glass-Steagall
(of course this isn't even the biggest British Empire fuckup either....that was helping put Hitler in power alongside some Wall Street people like Prescott Bush. So yes people, it can still get worse, looking at Ukraine, we have a twofer going on right now. Of course the British Empire created Wall Street, so...Prescott Bush was just playing his part). Keep peeling back that onion until you see a rotting Queen Elizabeth II at the core. Then remember this is also where our depopulation/green policy comes from as well... and a whole lot more.
so we (US) poke the bear (Russia) as if we can hanle them in a war but somehow these idiots running around the desert (ISIS), trying to figure out how to use the weapons they stole are too powerful for the US to take down?
fear the new boogie man.
As Obaid and al-Sarhan put it, “The Saudi leadership has a unique form of religious credibility and legitimacy, which will make it far more effective than other governments at delegitimizing ISIS’s monstrous terrorist ideology.”
So says the Saudi funded propaganda mouthpieces. So transparent blows my mind.
'unique form of religious credibility and legitimacy'? HAHAHAHAHAHA it's called Wahabism and it is directly responsible for the creation of ISIS.
compitition already?
I've already expect that if NATO/USA physically take a swing at the Russian Bear
expect Saudi Arabia & Qatar oil terminals/pipelines to be a target of Putin's...
Go get 'em ISIS. Take your Navy with you!
A pox on both their evil houses - ISIS and the House of Saud.
This will be better than the World Series if it actually gets cooking.
Meh. De-population is the goal, right? Too many people, konsumin' too many resources? We need 'progress', and all that?
Let's get it on.
ISIL taking over Saudi Arabia would be good for the USA/Isreal. Things make more sense now.
Allow me to laugh.
So let me get this right: yesterday, ISIL threatened Assad and Putin. Today, they would be after Saudi Arabia. How many war fronts can they open at once?
This news should turn out to be a hoax concocted to ramp up "the ISIL threat" myth, hence the "need to intervene in Syria to strike at its heart" (and oust Assad, which is the real aim). Nothing's changed.
I'll change my mind the minute they attack Saudi Arabia, but I'm totally sure it won't happen.
Hating everyone just makes good sense, doesn't it?
timmah, get along now to your Zio paymasters, the cash window closes at 3pm...
*After* I finsh eating my bagel & counting the diamonds, Master...
This author assumes too much in regards to the separation between the Kingdom and ISIS, which in reality is not that great. In fact, it is in a very real sense the opposite, as ISIS is a semi covert arm of the Kingdom. True, it sometimes is a bit unyielding, but the tradition is to kill the leaders and buy off the rest. That might not work this time, but ISIS still has a function to serve, and that is to allow a gas pipeline to run from Qatar to Turkey, then ISIS is expendable as Ikhwan (al Qaeda) has always been. In other words, the fellow who wrote this is a bit out of touch and doesn't understand the modern version of "The Great Game." He sees the Middle East as too transparent, which is a mistake in of itself.
Well let's see...if you were king of Saudi Arabia, would you want all the fanatical crazies inside your borders or outside you borders?
Sorry for all the blood & such, etc., but I think there's a good reason arabic countries generally don't stop jihadists from leaving home to die fighting infidels.
I long for the day, coming soon I'm sure, when ZeroHedge will connect the final dot. As Jim Willie and V have been saying all summer, this CIA-funded ISIS Group has been targeting all the important oil and gas fields in the territory of all the nations whose eyes have turned towards Russia and China. An Insider War is indeed taking place now within the old Rockefeller Oil empire and the Old Money Rothschild empire.
The Bankster's CIA must really feel threatened now by all the agreements that the Saudi Royal Family have been making with China as the Kingdom prepares to open its doors to doing business in Yuan, not Dollars... and to accepting China as her new military protector.
by Jim Willie, Sept. 04, 2014 http://www.gold-eagle.com/article/nato-dead-dollar-wreckedthere is an ultimate battle ensuing very soon between the Zionuts and "old money" wasp/oil/rockefeller types ... their uselfulness to each other is receding quickly, my money is on those nice folks who control 95% of global media
*giggle* He said "Zionuts"! Get it? They're damn, dirty Jews...and they're so crazy, too! That's why they're 'nuts'!
ZIONUTS!
I prefer Ziopaths, the emphasis being on the real problem - the lack of concern for human life attendant to Zionism and neoconservatism: http://www.voltairenet.org/article178638.html
Yeah, it's like they want another holocaust, or something, isn't it?
All these guys doing Gods work, why hide their faces?
Lloyd Blankfein does not cover his face doing Gods work
Where are the Saudi gold vaults? Riyadh ?
There was this quote from Jim Richards where he asked a bunch of Saudi government officials if they had a lot more gold than they were divulging and they all just smirked. I can't find the quote right now.
The point is, if IS hits Riyadh, than what happens to the 10,000 plus tonnes of Saudi gold.
somehow, I don't think the Saudis
are about to ship their gold to
New York "for safekeeping"
This has been circulating on a number of news sites... http://rt.com/news/185864-saudi-arabia-fence-iraq/
Seems the Saudis are prepping. Now, among things that are supposed to help keep potential intruders away from the Saudi Arabian border will be eight command and control centers, 32 rapid response centers, three rapid intervention squads, 38 back and front gates, 78 monitoring towers, 10 monitoring and surveillance vehicles, 1,450,000 meters of fiber optics networks and 50 radars.
Not to mention earlier they moved 30,000 troops to the border in response it ISIS's rapid advances in Iraq.
Now if only the US could catch a clue...
Looks to me like SA declared war on Christians first.
http://beforeitsnews.com/opinion-conservative/2014/09/saudi-arabia-arres...
ISIS is the CIA's Boogey man. They will use them to keep the likes of Saudia Arabia inline. Sauds even think about stiffing the dollar, then we can expect ISIS to be unleashed in the Kingdom. Long Live the Petro Dollar!
!
More often than not, the demon you create eventually comes back to bite you on the ass. The more the house of Saud deals makes more deals with anyone against the US the more those demons will come to attack it.
http://newamerica-now.blogspot.com/2014/09/its-never-been-about-russia-s...
Arabs understand Greenmail. Its part of their culture.
Agreed.
But, let’s not overlook the most immediate reason the Saudis and every other major oil exporter are pissed off at ISIL. The bandits are selling their captured oil at a huge discount to generate revenue, thus crashing international oil cartel prices costing said Saudis and other exporters billions in export revenue.
No wonder the Saudis came out recently as one of the strongest proponents of U.S. scorched earth strikes against ISIL. But, here’s a better idea. How about instead of fighting the Saudi’s war for them at our expense, we hire our military out to the Saudis to defeat ISIL. In exchange for the military cost and higher international oil prices (which U.S. consumers will also we will pay for, the Saudis will compensate us for defeating ISIL with, say, a few billion bbls of free Arab Light and Arab Medium Crude over the next five years.
(something tells me we're not going to hear anything close to this in Obama's speech tonight).
You know that if IS gets control over Saudi et al oil fields then they're going to muck it all up and terrorize oil importers. Even if they don't get control, their activities in the Persian Gulf are going to keep stirring up more and more trouble and uncertainty.
Sure will make Russia's oil and gas look damn, damn good, won't it!
I can't believe that ISIS can sell any oil at any price with whatever oil wells they control. Someone has to be at a terminal turning on a spigot to fill a tanker. Some one is suppoedly paying money for this oil. Seems to Me both of those would be able to be stopped at a word.
Believe it or not, some people on this planet are actually indifferent to ISIS' philosophy and goals. They just want to live their lives. And that includes engaging in trade & production to feed their families.
Oh I don't expect Those people who don't care to do the right thing. I expect they should be stopped from doing it one way or sink the tanker.
Believe it or not, some people on this planet
are actually in favor of ISIS' philosophy and goals;
regardless of what the Media would have you believe
We are funding them directly http://online.wsj.com/articles/iraq-oil-ministry-files-new-complaint-aga... (Read between the lines)
The CIA is ISIS, the CIA created, outfitted supplied and trained and funded/fund ISIS , we even gave new trucks with GPS in Arabic with marching orders running on our networks to ISIS.
We give ISIS air cover, a necessity in open desert warfare.
Smitty, they're in your house...the call is coming from inside your house, man!
Get out while you still can!!!!
I'm not talking about Kurds. Better luck next time.
"ISIS" ultimate goal - furthering the Oded Yinon plan for its CIA/Mossad Zionist puppet masters.

Good,... fuck the Saudi's (perpetraitors of 9/11).
The Islamic state's Zionist backers already have a Saudi smear campaign "in the can", they're just waiting for an opportune moment, the Saudi leadership is a beard for western bankers-who covet their own vassal's wealth.
I think they shoulda picked a tougher name than isis. Wasnt that the name of some queer lezbo superhero goddess or something from the 70s?
Thats almost as gay as you can get..without naming your terrorist group ' the gayest terrorist group ever imagined'.
Isis..meh..fags.
I bet Obama came up with the name.
Theyre in the board room...obamas playin with his barbies while the evil puppeteers are plotting the next terror group..and he keeps interrupting the big boyz..theyre like..'barry..just sit there and be quiet playin with your dolls, and we'll let you name the group.'
Isis it is!!!
Taking out Saudi's? To get that done, all they'd need is a Kickstarter campaign. Would get funded in under an hour.
Long as ISIS still accepts dollars for oil, its all good
ISIS isn't going anywhere they arn't allowed to go.
two points of contention:
1) the religious police in SA are freightening to the average working class saudi. they dare not open their mouths for fear of incitement or worse, and given lengthy prison terms even based on conjecture. the beheadings are daily!!! now, would the average saudi join forces with a fanatical religious group such as isis-- i don't think so. there recruitment would have to come from-- only allah knows?
2) most people of saudi arabia are not well off, and the wealthy bourgeois class, being the thousands of shiekhs that own all the prime real-estate don't pay any taxes plus share in the oil profits and never share in the social equilibrium structure of a Mohammad islamic society (totalitarian/ despotism) monarch that uses religion as a tool! the land just sits vacant while the proletariet rents in squalor. this alone is reason for anarchy, but not a reason to join forces with ISIS. the two won't mix, and if saudi arabia doesn't get their act together the rebellion will start before ISIS reaches their border. thus the fight will between the true indigenous proletariet that the ruling class bourgeois saudi's (UK & USSA man-made kingdom) held down for a century, an a radical godless maraudering, 'insult to islam`nut-jobs, dressed-up as satan's 'mecca & medina', cloned-usuk-christian crossdressers`crusaders via the old world incarnate.
Ps. the people of SA are at their wits-end, and rebellion is in the air.
jmo
Now Tel-Aviv will control Saudi Arabia's oil exports as well.
