Russia Discovers World's Largest Oil Reserves

 

If you think the geopolitical landscape is a total mess at the moment, you won't get too many objections from me.  Last century there was a war over the Falklands between Argentina and Britain, and there remain background tensions that we don't hear much about.  It may surprise people to learn that two nations went to war over an island with about 3000 British Citizens living on it, but it will make more sense one you discover how near Argentina they are, and how near to Antarctica too.

The penny will drop when you are reminded that the international treaty preventing a nation using its claims being prospected in antarctica comes to an end in 2048, and the Argentinian (now British) claim sits on enough oil to make a nation the next Saudi Arabia.

Furthermore, over the last 25 years most global volatility has instead been as a result of about ten key factors.

Five of these could have a case made as five variations on one theme:

• Strategic oil and gas reserves/pipelines
• Tension between Russia and the West/NATO.
• The Rise of BRICS and the future of the USD as reserve currency.
• Petrodollar hegemony. With regard to the above, the use of USD international trade is driving up foreign USD demand & particularly the energy sector since oil is by far the largest traded commodity. 
• Russia and China have moved to trading in local currencies and look to expand this, particularly in the long term with new BRICS member Saudi Arabia. (The Saudi's are already combining their OPEC weight with Russia for strategic expediency and could conceivably corner the market)

So, when I come across a story that one could easily scroll past if not paying attention, but on second glance contains all the ingredients above (potentially), I usually like to make a note or diarize it for
assimilation over.  This blog is that diary, so have a read and file it somewhere in your mind, its not likely to be all over the headlines.

Russia Discovers Massive Oil and Gas Reserves in British Antarctic Territory | OilPrice.com

Let's just say that if Putin requires leverage in the event that the British and EU move forward with seizing Russian assets held in various Western financial institutions, it would appear that options are presenting themselves to offset all those billions.

Overturning the argument that the rate of increase in CO2 is a threat to life, using two quick Google searches.

*NB I do not subscribed to either of these "facts" neither do think petroleum or any  hydrocarbons are "fossil fuels". Those are irrelevant, the point is to highlight that the consensus science climate change agenda is easily exposed as nonsense even if only using consensus science itself. The bonus is that it won't get you censored (the downside is its usually wrong)
 

The Genie Is Out Of The Bottle.

There is one company, headquartered in Newark, New Jersey, that has some sort of connection to every CIA operation, regime change, war, terrorist organization and government involved with the Middle East. It's board can boast about careers covering issues as wide ranging as opium trade Black Ops funding to celebrity gossip. It is the embodiment of everything that is wrong with foreign policy, media and banksterism in the world today. In fact if you follow this link to their site you see that I mean that LITERALLY because sitting on their board are Dick Cheney, Rupert Murdoch and Lord Jacob Rothschild.

I'll post one or two links but that's not really interesting, The best analysis I've actually found is available in podcast format in few seperate parts by Jake R. Morphonios and is presented in an interesting and informal way, framing the context quite brilliantly in the mind-bending history that lead to it's formation, from the Blackstone Intelligence YouTube channel. It's an investigation that explodes to life with twists and and turns that are quite extraordinary. I've covered much of it separately on this blog but I could never imagine a story that weaves together like this. I recommend subscribing to Blackstone Intelligence and watching on YouTube. Here is the channel.

How To Become The Symbol Of Resistance Against Empire.

It's not about who you are, it's about what you represent. Those seeking to overthrow Bashar al Assad are turning him into a symbol of resistance against the Military Industrial Complex, oil industry and banker backed empire behind NATO and the Gulf state region. The irony is so thick you can cut it with a knife. Just like Che Guevara came to represent (even to Westerners) more than just the Argentine Marxist revolutionary he actually was, the idea is harder to fight than the person.  All sorts of facts are starting to emerge regarding the true facts and SAA casualties during (what essentially amounted to Western NGO and insurgency activity) during the fake Arab Spring, a PR exercise designed to lend legitimacy to the efforts in Libya, Egypt, Syria and elsewhere. Back in 2011, before all of the media was essentially recruited by the complex shareholder arrangement that eventually brings all of MSM under one narrative, some Western press reports, were still slightly less biased (http://content.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2061364,00.html)  Sure, they never reported on the agitation of the likes of Hillary Clinton exploiting tensions between Sunni and Alawite Muslims, but they never had the leaked emails spilling all the beans  https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/emailid/18328

Posters of Syria president Bashir Al Assad have started appearing in Yemen capital Sanaa.

It is also proven beyond reasonable doubt that Assad was framed in the Ghouta sarin gas attacks, the main pretext for the "Assad must go" policy the US propaganda masters have been hiding behind to enforce their proven "Regime Change 101" formula of soft power grabs.
http://dwahts.blogspot.co.za/2015/10/assad-did-not-gas-his-own-people-ghouta.html

What's really important here is what Assad's victory, with the help of Russia, represents to the bigger picture. For the first time we are seeing the globalists comprehensively defeated.  The cost has been the blood of Syrians, and a wave of refugees, just like with Libya, spreading across Europe.  It's only a matter of time before European taxpayers connect the dots between their governments wars to overthrow these trumped up "brutal dictators" and the refugee crises.  They are already calling into question their support of the true brutal dictators, the Wahhabi extremists of Saudi Arabia (alarmingly similar to the head choppers of ISIS.)

The Writing is on the wall.

The World Is In Trouble, To Protect Yourself You Need To Understand What Caused It First.

The outlook for 2016 is unfolding exactly as I said it would.  But I'm not psychic and I am also not a pedigreed expert in economics or geopolitics, at least I wasn't when I started down the rabbit-hole, I can assure of that right now.  I've been brash, provocative and arguably arrogant at times about what's in store, and I've always felt anyone who has taken the time to read up on what I have would arrive at the same conclusions.  My time and effort spent works to your advantage, if you go back and track what I've written about you can understand the process that lead me here for yourself, and for pity's sake please check out the recommended sites on the right hand side of this blog (either hover your mouse pointer over the receded tabs or click on them, depending on your OS, browser or device).  There is a treasure chest of top drawer knowledge available to anyone who is interested.  It is interest alone, not ability that stands in your way.  Look at the websites, follow them on Twitter, like them on Facebook and do it NOW.

Oil & Gas Piplines, How Can We Reconcile The Geography Of War, Refugees & Ambitious Planned Contrsruction Projects?

I'm posting this Mintpress News article by @mnarmuh to broaden the perspective on last weeks article "Why Syria?"

HERE is the link to the article online.

Don’t let anyone fool you: Sectarian strife in Syria has been engineered to provide cover for a war for access to oil and gas, and the power and money that come along with it.

Editor’s note: This article has been updated to reflect recent Wikileaks revelations of US State Department leaks that show plans to destabilize Syria and overthrow the Syrian government as early as 2006.  The leaks reveal that these plans were given to the US directly from the Israeli government and would be formalized through instigating civil strife and sectarianism through partnership with nations like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar and even Egypt to break down the power structue in Syria to essentially to weaken Iran and Hezbolla. The leaks also reveal Israeli plans to use this crisis to expand it’s occupation of the Golan Heights for additional oil exploration and military expansion.

The Top 5 U.S. greatest hits: Insane in the Ukraine, Solid Gold.

Confused about the situation in Ukraine? Don't be, let this weeks top 5 hits paint the salacious picture for you.

1.) The seizure of Ukraine's national gold reserves, currently sitting in the New York Federal Reserve Bank since just days after the Maidan Coup.

What is not widely commented on is the fact that following each US backed Regime change we inevitably discover that gold reserves are plundered. 

Initial reports of a clandestine heist in the aftermath of Maidan could scarcely be believed at the time, but we now know them to be true.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-11-18/ukraine-admits-its-gold-gone
http://www.maxkeiser.com/tag/gold-rehypothecation/

2.)  Just after the Maiden Coup: The nomination of U.S. Vice President Joe Bidens son to the board Ukraine's largest  gas producer, BURISMA, who is prospecting in Eastern Ukraine, where all the fighting is.
The company is already being investigated for corruption, but any state prosecuter who believes they are still a sovereign nation and not a branch of the US Department of State may as well investigate David Rockefeller, George Soros or Dick Cheney because its about as likely to succeed as that, ie not at all and I'll bet my left pinkie toe on that. The law does not matter to these people, they own it.

Regarding BURISMA, Its license covers Ukraine’s key hydrocarbon basin, Dnieper-Donets (in eastern Ukraine) and certainly offers further explanation as to why the U.S./ Ukraine would rather blow up East Ukrainian's that give them independence.

http://rt.com/business/158660-biden-son-ukraine-company/

3.) "The Russians are coming".
Putin was finally granted opportunity with the Minsk Accords, thanks to Germany & France, by some miracle that still has me scratching my head, to get involved and has succeeded where others have failed to bring some type of peace to the East. John McCain still shamelessly tries to push his weapons sales to Ukraine and the U.S. sends military capacity to what they consider the crown jewel of their Eastern Front, the Russian Border.

The overarching them of Putin's presidency has been the compromise to national security the advance of NATO has represented. The broken promises to Gorbachev, Yeltsin and  Putin have left a deep mistrust of Western leadership. Russia does not bluff, when the red line is crossed as it was with Crimea, Russia WILL act, but that situation doesn't seem imminent.

While tolerating the major slap in the face of a hostile NATO aligned military rumoured to being on the way to beefed up to the most formidable force on the European continent,  Russian leader somehow has still brought a degree of peace by exercising great restraint which he shall get precisely zero appreciation for, let's not forget the farcical and comical collection of media reports on Russian invasions that never happened.

Who could forget President Poreshenko making a complete clown of himself caught lying about Russian Invasions.

Poroshenko does not even know that Russian soldiers do not carry their IDs since they are declared with the army, The only thing IDs prove is that those carrying them are NOT military.

4.) "F♥©k  the EU"
Those were the words caught on tape and leaked to the media of none other than Victoria Nuland, appropriately she is a top U.S. State Department official to the E.U.

Anybody who thinks the U.S. will guide Ukraine's agenda with anything other than a particularly specific agenda suiting a few rich geopolitical heavyweights, is going to be needing something resembling religious faith to keep the illusion going, and that includes the Ukrainian people!

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/feb/07/angela-merkel-victoria-nuland-eu-unacceptable
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-02-06/fuck-eu-us-state-department-blasts-europe-revealed-alleged-mastermind-behind-ukraine

5.) Last but not least, the fact that Maidan was indeed a coup, arranged and financed by the U.S.
This was once widely disputed, but we now know for certain that Ukraine is the 52nd nation to have had a covert U.S. insurgency and regime change to a puppet administration friendly to U.S. interests at massive cost to local economy and peace.

By now we know the infamous "Regime Change 101" tactics used all over South America, John Perkins speaks about them at length in his book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman". More recently we see them at work in Libya and Ukraine, led by Vitality Klitschko, destined surely for similar economic ruin resulting in debt control by the IMF and US influence for the foreseeable future.

Jordan And The Makeshift "Coalition"

Background

When coalition forces first bombed Syrian infrustructure under the guise of bombing ISIL exclusively

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-29401848

People wanted to know who the makeshift coalition of gulf oil states yes-men was and what their agenda is beyond the U.S. ongoing agenda to bomb Syria.
Bahrain, Jordan, UAE? We all know Saudi Arabia sponsors terrorism and runs a mass execution program for crimes such as "Sorcery", but lets look at Jordan and its role in creating IS and cooperating with Israel and the U.S. in using civil engineering to engineer Palestine into the desert and off the map.

Before they were known as ISIS/ISIL/IS they were simply Syrian rebels that the U.S. thought would be a very good idea to arm and train against Assad in Syria, where the U.S. has been seeking a a lucrative military campaign for years.

From the first report here: http://www.wnd.com/2012/02/mideast-war-in-march/

Through hundreds of reports in 2013 like this:
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/mar/08/west-training-syrian-rebels-jordan

What has the role of Jordan been in Clandestine training of IS jihadists been?

It's been the lynchpin, which makes sense when you look at the economic and oil cooperation between Jordan, Israel and the United States. Just look at they assisted stealing Palestinian Natural Gas, and how the water deals they made leave Palestine high and dry!


Here below is an Article from the Ron Paul institute that is a little more forgiving: (And here is the follow up by Ron Himself discussing Obamas ongoing push for war in Syria)

King Abdullah's Crocodile Tears Over Burned Pilot

written by daniel mcadams

Jordan's King Abdullah reacted emotionally to a video showing the apparent immolation of a Jordanian fighter pilot shot down over Syrian airspace. The Jordanian leader promised to fight ISIS, who killed the pilot, until his military ran "out of fuel and bullets." His vows of revenge even included quoting Clint Eastwood to US lawmakers.

When he arrived back in Jordan from Washington, where he happened to be when the pilot was killed, he swiftly executed three prisoners in an apparent demonstration of resolve.

The White House vowed to stand united with Jordan to "defeat [the] scourge" of ISIS.

Abdullah's strident stance against jihadists fighting to overthrow the Assad government in Syria is, if genuine, quite a turnaround. After all, for the past three-plus years he provided assistance and safe passage for all manner of radical jihadist to enter Syria through Jordan. 

Yes, Abdullah had long been an ally of sorts to the kinds of radicals responsible for burning alive Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh. He provided space and cooperation to US and NATO's rebel training programs on Jordanian soil, with many "graduates" of the program later joining ISIS and al-Qaeda. 

In 2013, Syrian president Assad warned Jordan's Abdullah that he was "playing with fire" by supporting the rebels fighting to overthrow the Syrian government. How right he was. Literally.

Burning prisoners alive is breathtakingly barbaric. Providing aid and comfort to the kinds of people would do such things is, in many respects, even worse.

Save the tears, Abdullah, you helped create this mess.

20) The link between Iraq and Syria
