Oil Spikes As Netanyahu Threatens Iran

Tyler Durden's picture




The first on-the-record comments, regarding the bombing in Bulgaria, from Israel's Netanyahu are not the most politically correct. His ire with the world's ignorance of Iran's terrorist-fostering position is very clear as are his threats and promises for retribution. Not good. And sure enough, WTI crude is spiking on this news to $91.75 (18% higher than its EU-Summit lows) back to 2-mointh highs. Via Bloomberg,

  • *NETANYAHU THANKS BULGARIA FOR AID TO VICTIMS OF TERROR ATTACK
  • *ISRAEL'S NETANYAHU SAYS IRAN, HEZBOLLAH CARRY OUT GLOBAL TERROR
  • *NETANYAHU SAYS ATTACKS WERE PLANNED IN INDIA, THAILAND
  • *NETANYAHU SAYS HEZBOLLAH ACTED AT BEHEST OF IRAN
  • *NETANYAHU SAYS TOO DANGEROUS TO LET IRAN HAVE NUCLEAR ARMS
  • *NETANYAHU SAYS ISRAEL WILL PURSUE, PUNISH TERRORISTS WITH FORCE
  • *NETANYAHU SAYS WORLD MUST RECOGNIZE IRAN AS TERROR THREAT

Meanwhile, as a reminder, a 4th carrier group is on its way to the Gulf...

 

and sure enough wholesale and retail gas prices are on the rise with their normal lag...

It is our opinion that this is a valid news story.  We believe the attack on Clinton is related to the current political upheaval in Israel, an attempt to kill Clinton, blame Iran and take the focus off the domestic political meltdown.

We also feel the bus attack in Bulgaria, killing 6 Israeli citizens is highly suspect for the same reasons as well.

Israeli radio broke the story Sunday night, midnight, but never mentioned it again.  This has been confirmed by sources inside Israel

The real story as we have been able to learn is this;  About 16 hours ago, Secretary Clintons convoy, traveling from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, was attacked.  There would have been a minimum of 3 to 5 vehicles, with Clinton probably traveling in a bulletproofed Chevy Tahoe or Israel built Toyota Land Cruiser.

This follows the story earlier of an attack on a bus loaded with Israeli tourists that exploded in Bulgaria.  Six were killed.  Netanyahu said he would respond by attacking Iran.  It is our opinion that this was a Mossad “false flag” operation much as was the Clinton assassination attempt.  Bulgarian security services are trained by the Mossad.  There are dozens of Mossad agents operating in Bulgaria which still has in place massive Soviet era security services that follow all tourists and check on every “overnight” guest in Bulgaria.

Good catch Randall... the article goes on to say "More than 40 soldiers from Fort Lee are deploying to Kuwait and Afghanistan. Officials at the Army base near Petersburg say the soldiers from the 111th Quartermaster Company left Wednesday for an at least six-month deployment. The soldiers are part of one of the Army's only two active duty mortuary affairs units."

The kicker here is the location of Kuwait and that these troops are 1 of only 2 active units. Things are going to get out of hand quickly.

Terrorism, foreign and domestic, simply will not be tolerated in the 21st century. Both president Barack H. Obama and William Milton Romney stand by Prime Minister Netanyahu's decision to take a strong stance on Iran. Israel is not alone in this battle. Every patriotic American is committed to this fight and we will fight side by side with Israel until democracy and freedom is spread to every corner of the world.

Netanyahu should shout the fuck up. Who the fuck he think he is.

People get killed everywhere everyday but no one gives a shit.

Now we get a bus full of israelis getting blown up and he starts pointing fingers and wants repercussion. What he want? America to do the dirty job for him and blow up Iran?

Contrary to Netanyahu's belief, the jews arent superior to everyone else so he should stop whining. This coming from the same guy who is OK with palestinians getting killed by israelis all the time.

In the confusion after the blast I'm sure it took a while to trace which is the bus that got blasted (what company it was, which bus number it was and who where scheduled to be on it). I've got a hitch that Net went public while that stuff was still being figured out on the ground.

Well, given that the Earth is round and assuming that Iran has bases defending their borders, one could from a topological point of view say that Iran's border forms the outside border of the American Hegemony and thus that Iran does in fact have the US surrounded by military basis.

Certainly I wouldn't put it past the US Congress or any of the Presidential candidates to use this kind of logic to justify sending more American soldiers to be killed, murdering a couple hundred thousand civilians and getting oil price to double or even triple.

Then again, they'll probably go for something simpler, like accusing Iran of supporting Terrorism and having Weapons of Mass Destruction, just like Iraq.

http://www.fbi.gov/washingtondc/press-releases/2012/virginia-man-accused-of-attempting-to-bomb-u.s.-capitol-in-suicide-attack

From earlier this year:

"The affidavit alleges that El Khalifi sought to be associated with an armed extremist group, and on Dec 1, 2011, he was introduced by a man he knew as “Hussien” to an individual named “Yusuf,” who was, in reality, an undercover law enforcement officer. Throughout December 2011 and January 2012, El Khalifi allegedly proposed to carry out a bombing attack. His proposed targets included a building that contained U.S. military offices, as well as a synagogue, U.S. Army generals, and a restaurant frequented by military officials.

During meetings with the undercover officer, El Khalifi allegedly handled an AK-47and indicated his desire to conduct an operation in which he would use a gun and kill people face-to-face. He also allegedly selected a restaurant in Washington, D.C., for a bombing attack; handled an explosive as an example of what could be used in the attack; conducted surveillance to determine the best place and time for the bombing and purchased materials as part of the planned operation.

On Jan. 7, 2012, “Hussien” informed El Khalifi that he was an al Qaeda operative. El Khalifi allegedly discussed the possibility that his planned bombing of the restaurant would be followed by a second attack against a military installation to be conducted by others who El Khalifi believed to be associated with al Qaeda. The affidavit alleges that El Khalifi understood that his attack on the restaurant would be part of an al Qaeda operation that would include both his restaurant bombing and the attack against a military installation."

The only thing that spared the economy in Q1 was a mild winter so sheeple didn't spend money on heating and the only thing that somewhat spared the economy in Q2 was lower (not low) fuel costs.  Spike the fuel costs and Q3 will be a problem but not too bad as sheeple enjoy the summer but Q4 could easily be negative even with holiday spending.

Nobody is going to attack Iran. A war is being fomented between Pakistan and Iran, similar to Iran and Iraq war... Shia Vs Sunni conflict.

Lot of Shias being killed in Balochistan region, bordering Iran. When US and NATO leaves Afghanistan, the region will be pushed into war, like Cambodia and Vietnam episode. That seems to be the plan, lets see what happens.

Rest is just posturing and energy trading.

P.S. The military build up, is just to make sure nobody makes any rash move and protect PetroDollar hegemoney for a while longer.

Also, if the World financial system was to go belly up unexpectedly, have ready assistance to secure US interests by military force and also to evacuate troops.

Gentlemen we have a Global Mexican standoff, and nobody really wants to shoot for now.

LULZBank, Indeed, you have hit upon an overlooked story. The USA since the middle of the Iraq war chose to side with Sunni against Shia and to foment war between the two. In Iraq, the USA was in a hopless battle against Sunni resistance. The USA used bombings to trigger a Sunni - Shia civil war in Iraq. This war was being won by Shia until the USA told Sunni that the US would help them in return for an end to resistance. This deal was fullfilled.

On to the present, the USA has used Sunni against Shia to further US geo-political interests. Thus Syria, Libya and so forth.

Anywhere the USA can further a Sunni - Shia battle it divides the Muslim world and allows divide and conquer. Much like the Romans did in Britain with the Cletic tribes. Your enemy should be made your friend and turned against another tribe instead of the ROman occupation. It worked, Rome held sway in Britain for 400 years!

And later in History the same tactic allowed the British Empire to expand, they would use one tribe of people against another tribe, and after the dust settled, the only one standing were the British. PAX BRITANNIA.

Jack Burton: Sure and it goes a bit deeper that just military alliances.

There is also a theological aspect to it. For the past ten years or so, Sunni Scholars have been preaching plenty of Anti Shia hatred and some even call for using force and aggression agasinst them and also killing them.

Funded by none other than Saudis and Qataris etc. and also a lot of such decrees or "fatwas" come from there.

As if anyone would notice, lot of random killing of Shias going around that region to push Iran into taking some rash step. So far, its not working.

Au contraire ... it is far too dangerous (for the whole world) for Iran to NOT have nuclear arms. If they had them (think North Korea, Pakistan), neither Israel nor Hitlery would be so keen to attack.

    The real reason why the Israelis are in a panic over Iran is because if Iran were ever to acquire nuclear weapons it would be the permanent end of Israeli

    military and political hegemony in the Middle East, with everything that entails. Once both sides have nuclear weapons, nuclear war means Mutually Assured Destruction,

    which therefore means, to rational minds, war is no longer an option.

     

    If Iran were even close to nuclear weapons they would have already been hit by Israel. What one can deduce is it's now clearly a possibility that Iran could

    theoretically acquire nuclear weapons were they inclined to do so. That's enough for Israel to hit them.

     

    Even in the highly unlikely event the US and UK do not either join in or preempt Israeli military action against Iran, and regardless of the wishes

    of China and Russia, Israel will definitely hit Iran. If they have to go it alone they will but that's unlikely. It's just a question of time.

    I largely agree but it's wrong to say Israel is the cause of all of the Middle East's problems. Sunni and Shia divisions would rank up there,

    which has nothing to do with Israel. Qatar and the House of Saud are currently partially financing the pyschopathic child-killers,

    which are part of the "Free Syrian Army".

     

    Pepe Escobar's commentary on the Middle East pisses on anything written in the Western MSM from a high height.

    A daft metaphor maybe, but the point is this, isreal struts around with the suposed support of 330 million Americans?

    No way fella, the zionists should be banished, and let the jews get on with their lives, that is my point, and let the zions take on Iran, they will all die, and that in my own opinion, can only do humanity a fucking big favour.

    This depends on your time frame as to who feels they are right.  Jews can claim the land before there was even an Allah to rally the Arab tribes.  As an Englishman, depending on your background, you stole the land from the indigenous Celts as interlopers from Germany, Netherlands, France or Scandanvia.  Maybe you all should pack up and go home too.

     

    The jews are held to a different standard then any other invading tribe, most of which never possessed the land they are trying to reclaim.  I would like to see the same vitriol for Turkey and their occupation of Kurdistan and Armenia.
