Oil Prices Rise As ISIS Attack Iraq Oil Pipelines
UPDATE: And now *YEMEN GUNMEN BLOW UP OIL PIPELINE IN SHABWA: ARABIYA
As oil prices started to slide this morning, following their pop on lower-than-expected API inventory build data, headlines crossed:
- *ISLAMISTS ATTACK IRAQ OIL PIPELINES EAST OF TIKRIT: IRAQIYA
As we detailed yesterday, Tikrit is key, and this (unconfirmed for now) headline sent WTI and Brent up 40c per barrel (for now).
As Blkoomberg reports,
Islamic State militants burned pipelines in Tal Hasiba region east of central city of Tikrit, accord. to state-sponsored Iraqiya television, which didn’t say where it got information.
* * *
And the immediate reaction...
With ISIS suffering from lower cashflows (thanks to lower oil prices), we suspect their efforts to raise oil prices (by any means possible) will continue.

Fixed it for you Tyler.
ISIS is a CIA Operation.
Dear ISIS:

ISIS, ISIL whatthehell-pretty useful outfit-a reall all around toolkit!
Saudis will be next,,,
Oil up to $200 soon
zero hedge was telling us just a few months ago how these thugs were trucking oil across the turkish border at deeply discounted prices. now they want us to believe the isil boys are actually a viable oil exporter......what did they ever do before leaving the goat farms????? i need to start my own news outlet and then trade on the news i release....factual or not. some poster the other day wanted us to believe that the libyan government actually controled the oil in that country...like they control anything in that country.
Facts are not important.
Collecting $$ from online advertisers is all that matters.
hahahah +++
Gaddafi controlled his sphincter while he was having a shovel handle shoved up his ass. Does that count?
So who is buying the oil from ISIS? Someone must be, if the price they get is falling and causing them problems.
Figure that one out first, then cut 'em off.
Turkey, and then shipped to the West. Easy one that
Oil war coming soon? All sides have stayed clear of attacking the others oil resources, but if this new tactic is adopted it will be open season across NA and ME on production, storage and refining centers of the opposition. Saudi's take care you are the big target.
when will Isis join OPEC?
Criminal Pure Evil Psychopaths at the CIA have been very busy Bees lately.
ISIS has limitless cashflow in the form of US Federal Reserve notes. And their weapons appear magically from the sky. Allah Obama! Allah Obama!
So ISIS is a capitalistic organization!
Probably long oil in some heavily leveraged ETF.
The question is, if you make money on oil because ISIS destroys infrastructure: are those profits terrorists derived?
I imagine Wall Street will be avoiding making money off ISIS doings in the oil patch!
Oh how convenient

Doesn't ISIS realize that too much masterbation leads to blindness?
Oh look, all the sudden it's back to, "trouble in the Mid East" as the reason to raise gas prices. More bullshit.
Zioligarchs buy crude futures minutes before Israel Secret Intelligence Service blows up pipelines.
Between this and the killing of the Christians. ..its almost as if isis is following through with the hopeful agenda of the Us (well its leader anyway)
Hmm.. noteworthy indeed.
Ah Ha proof that the MIC & Oil Industry might be linked together through Intelligence Operations.
Price of Oil goes up after attack by US Backed Al Qaeda, Mujaheddin, ISIL, ISIS, IS.
Did it go up or down? The info at ZH is getting exhausting.
ISIS is a CIA construct. The CIA founded, funded, trained and armed ISIS to be a proxy army wherever chaos and overthrow were needed. They were originally meant to topple Assad but the damned Putin got in the way erasing Obama's red line and finding a solution to the false flag crisis. They (ISIS) are still being armed with occasional "misplaced" & "accidental" dropping of arms shipments and supplies meant for Kurds or whoever the ally of the day is. The Oligarchs always find a solution to problems with their income sources. http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.aspx?nn=13931204001534
Why is it that Saudi Arabia and Israel are never never never actually attacked? There is talk and usually that is all it takes to bomb the Shiite out of someone but in reality they are sitting in the middle of a bonfire and never have an eyelash singed. It must be because some farm kid from Nebraska rushes over there, throws himself on a grenade and gets his ass blown off for their benefit. At least they appreciate it?
