The Coming Oil Conflict In Iran -01/19/10 at 12:12 PM CSTby Reggie Abaca
Newsmakers and even the oil markets (USO, X,
USL) have learned to get used to tensions between the West and
Iran. Last week, an Iranian physics professor linked to the
country’s nuclear program was assassinated. Iran blamed
Israel and the United States for the remote control bombing of the
man’s car. Iran, for once, was proba...

A series of events are making it highly probably
that we are quickly approaching the day when the United States will
suddenly attack Iran and oil prices will rise dramatically.
This type of scenario makes it the right time to invest in oil

The United States Oil Fund and several other oil

week highlighting Pentagon approval for a funding request with the
following statement: "The Department has an Urgent Operational Need
(UON) for the capability to strike hard and deeply buried targets

Peak Oil Driving Crude Prices -08/07/09 at 10:09 AM CDTby Reggie Abaca
With better than expected unemployment numbers
today, one would think that the supply and demand spread for crude
oil (OIL) would begin to narrow in upcoming months. After
all, economic improvement means more demand for oil, right? But
while the market celebrates the jobs report this morning, crude oil
prices are dropping. Oil traders do not a...

The Case For American Intervention in Iran
-07/10/09 at 12:46 AM
CDTby Perry Rod
Iranian-Americans voices have been heard in the
United States. Yes, America did support the Shah of Iran and
even undermined democracy there. Yes, America may be largely
responsible for the current radical Islamic regime in Iran.
However, American foreign policy as it relates to Iran has been an
even bigger failure since 1979, when Iranians sh...

CDTby Perry Rod
Reports are coming in from social networking
websites that Iranians are attempting to organize a national strike
in reaction to the country's disputed election. A similar
event happened in 1979, when Iranian citizens organized against the
Shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi. Many writers are suggesting that the
next move by defeated presidential candidate Mi...

It began on July 8th, 1999 with a peaceful
demonstration in Tehran, Iran. But by the end of the week,
the Islamic Republic was responsible for the killing of several
students, the disappearance of dozens of others, and thousands of
arrests. There was mass rioting in the streets and Iran was
thought to be on the brink of some kind of new st...

The Crushing of False Hope in Iran

CDTby Perry Rod
It is a moment of truth for Iran, and truth can
oftentimes be painful for the young at heart. The question will
quickly transform from “who won?” to “what will
Mr. Mousavi do?” The so-called reformist presidential
candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi is now in a position to do what no
other man has done in Iran since the Iranian rev...

Look out everybody. Suddenly, the
mainstream media is talking about peak oil, as if they've been just
as concerned all along. This spells trouble for the world
economy as it is a significant change in behavior from the
mainstream outlets. It is absolutely true and we've been saying it
for years - oil production has hit its peak in most of the ...

The Inevitable Future: Peak Oil and Socialism

The current economic malaise was triggered by
falling home prices and aggressive lending practices, they say. The
other part of the story – where oil (OIL, USO, USL) prices
shot up to $150 a barrel - has been largely ignored, for now.
But it happened. Worldwide peak oil is not a theory. It has
already occurred and the 2008 oil price shoc...

We already knew that Iran is controlled by

not a president, but a "supreme" religious leader who punishes
anybody who criticizes him or his authority. That included
the current supreme leader's younger brother, who was severely
beaten for criticizing his authority years ago, along w...
