Is The 2:30pm Oil Ramp The New 3:30pm Market Ramp?

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Because nothing says 'totally normal' markets like day after day of pre-NYMEX close ramping of the world''s biggest commodity's futures prices...

 

 

When all that matters is the centrally-planned narrative of money-printed growth, why would it surprise anyone that this would happen?

 

Trade accordingly

ACTUAL VIDEO (the execution of Mouath al-Kasaesbeh):

http://shoebat.com/2015/02/03/watch-horrific-video-isis-burning-pow-jord...

Not sure if this video is real, considering the efforts employed during the filming process:
- number of cameras
- uniforms
- the masked men definitively are professional soldiers (observe the way they carry their assault rifles)
- and the video editing software used

Perhaps someone with video editing skills could determine the authenticity of that clip.

Great post. Even liveleak didn't have the video when I checked. Very good, thanks.

I won't discuss the quality of the vid. Refusing to watch the potential real horror.

What has far more effect than the authenticity of the video imo is the fact that IS killed a high profile Jordanian fighter pilot from a high profile Jordanian family.

How will Jordan respond is the question and how many Jordanians are pissed off enough now to venture out and start waging war on IS. Same goes for the Japanese as well.

IS is not a rogue hotch potch group of cave dwelling terrorists. Their ranks are filled with former Republican Guards of Saddam's forces. They have highly trained soldiers and highly skilled propaganda workers.

Bombing them "back to the stone ages" will achieve little to stem their conquest.

They're financing themselves with the sale from oil. Lower oil prices will hurt their bottom line and that's the only way the war against IS can be won. If that is really the objective here.

Yup, that's the real deal. Cameras, software, etc. That's all relatively cheap.

What I find more interesting, is the scripting and storyboarding of the whole thing.  This definitley had a bit more thought put into it than your average beheading vid. They wanted to send a message for sure. Perhaps a new twist in what is becoming a war of Islam vs the world.

Also, what I find fascinating is how they managed to gain his compliance.  Stockholm syndrome?  Threats against his family?  Worse treatments if he didn't comply?  Obvioulsy all the keyboard warriors will be all like "ill take muh bullet and go down fighting before blah blah blah", but that dude walked to that fucking cage, got flammable liquid poured on him, and then stood on an X of whatever flammable substance was on the ground in that cage and just waited.

Viewing this is beyond sad.  But should also insill seething anger against these people.  Fuck multiculturalism.

I watched it a few times. Excuse me, because I didn't have footage of the people whom he bombed from his jet far from his homeland, so this will have to do.

Looks like somebody really big (cough cough WS cough) sold a massive amount of oil puts and need an all out attempt to push prices higher.

EIA comes out with weekly petroleum report tomorrow.

 

Surely, with oil prices surging a lot has changed since last week -

 

"U.S. commercial crude oil inventories (excluding those in the Strategic Petroleum 

Reserve) increased by 8.9 million barrels from the previous week. At 406.7 million 

barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are at the highest level for this time of year in at least 

the last 80 years"

If everything is being manipulated by central banks, why was oil allowed to fall 60% in the first place? Why did stocks fall some 50 odd percent during the financial crisis? Why do we even have down days at all?

 

Hint: It's not a conspiracy. It's just a market.

I would bet money that those that cause this, profit from the manipulations will not ever get charged much less convicted.  These truths will be buried in American Security Secrets.  You can't handle the Truth. Corporations dictate Black Ops, CIA, FED, and NSA.....etc.etc. etc. The system is now founded on Special Interest groups that pay bribes to Elected Leaders as well as Threats of Monitary collapse with the Ends justifying the means.  Total Domination of the World which includes stopping Russia thru Puppet Governments (UKRAINE), lies in the Media, False Flags everywhere. America be happy, it's your Government,.  Wrap the stars and stripes around yourself for Comfort. Life as you know it has changed and you will soon be told to be thankful that Your safe from external threats. Just don't leave the USA because where ever you go, The peoples lives you have destroyed will not forget.
