Middle East - Toward Endless Chaos?

 

Middle East – Towards Endless Chaos?

Global Research, December 20, 2024

With the Ashkenazi-Zionist-Israel rapid expansion towards a Greater Israel, the sudden fall of Syria, the silence of Iraq, Iran scared to intervene, when Russia is folding up its tents in Syria and is getting the hell out of there — what else, but chaos? 

See also this analysis by Paul Craig Roberts.

Well, the West’s unquestioned support for Israel, or what is still called Israel, though in the hands of mass murderers going by the name of Ashkenazi-Zionist – no original Jews, what can be expected from the region, other than an ever-faster downfall into full chaos? 

Chaos is usually what the rulers want. That is what Washington manages best. The US-Pentagon-NATO have a long history of letting chaos reign for control.

This time though it seems to be different. The chaos is happening because of the West’s collective inaction; possibly negligence of their own interests. 

Just to be sure, Syria has not collapsed because of an “internal” civil war. There NEVER was a civil war; a civil war as we know by its true term where the local people rise up against their ruler. That never happened. Never listen to western media, which would like you to believe that Bashar al-Assad was fighting against a country full of Syrians who disliked him. That is a load of bull***t, as strong as it comes.

Mr. al-Assad’s Syria was infiltrated since before the year 2000, still during his father Hafez Assad’s reign by US-UK-Israeli created terror groups, which lasted up to this day, plus new ones, to which Turkey later also contributed. Today they are called ISIS, IS, al-Qaeda, and finally by Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a coalition of northern Syria-based Sunni Islamist insurgent groups that evolved from Jabhat al-Nusrah, or “Nusrah Front,” al-Qaeda’s former branch in Syria. For sure there are others. For now, HTS seems to be in control of Syria, if anybody is.

Turkey, the flip-flop nation, a so-called NATO heavyweight claiming to be also friends with Russia – but when it comes down to it, Turkey under Erdogan is a traitor of everyone. Erdogan has dreams of grandeur, to bring back the Ottoman Empire. Should he ever be trusted?

Washington wanted to dominate Syria for decades. Why? Her oil riches are much larger than is being officially estimated, her geographic strategic situation is unique to control the region – and not least, Syria is part of the Zionists’ dream of becoming the Greater Israel, the Land for the Chosen People.

One can only wonder, what kind of God would choose such horrifying people?

Syria is central to the downfall of the entire Middle East.

That descent into chaos has started long ago, but accelerated to warp speed in the past weeks. It may go on for an undetermined period of time. It will affect Iran, though Iran, a new BRICS country and part of the Chinese Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), is expected to have Russian and Chinese support. However, recent events have shown that none of this can be taken for granted. So, for practical reasons Iran is on her own, internally still torn apart between the adherents of western values and those who trust the east.

Of course, the western faction is heavily paid, infiltrated and trained by CIA and associated secret services to foment resistance and, if needed, facilitate assassinations of (western) undesirable leaders.

And what about the Saudis?                                                

They are selling their hydrocarbons to China in Yuan, an indication that they would lean towards the East, China. However, when a year ago they were offered a place in the new BRICS, though they had officially accepted, but as of today they have not fulfilled any of the conditions laid out for the BRICS members. For example, they are adamant not letting go of the US dollar, not meaning de-dollarization, but trading among each other in their respective currencies. 

De-dollarization was never a condition for BRICS membership. But the sheer fact of being a member of the BRICS, pulling them closer to China and Russia, scares them. Remember, they are full with US military bases – a tit-for-tat – when they agreed in the 1970s as head of OPEC to trade hydrocarbons only in US dollars, Washington promised to “protect” them from potential enemies by dotting their country with US bases. The very bases from which the US is aggressing her chosen enemies, not only in the Middle East, but all over the world. 

The population of the Middle East is about half a billion people (2024 estimate), and growing. That is only about 6% of the world’s population but extremely rich in natural resources, including energies.

.

.

Does anybody expect these people just to let go, being overrun and their resources – the world’s energy – being stolen by supremacists, who call themselves the Chosen People, without a fight? Not likely.

What incoming President Trump will do to bring Peace to the Middle East is anybody’s guess. From the supposed key positions to be confirmed, with responsibilities for the Middle East, including his VP and Secretary of State – and others of course – the course of unquestioned support for Israel, or let’s call it by the true name, the Ashkenazi-Zionists, seems guaranteed. 

Mr. Trump has not made any indication that he wants Peace with Iran. 

That pits East against West in the Middle East which controls as it is today, between 55% and 60% of all known hydrocarbon reserves. Many countries around the globe depend on these reserves. For the foreseeable future the world’s economies are not going to be run by alternative “renewable” energy, like windmills or solar panels.

By now, most people know that this is a joke. The climate hoax behind it is also about to collapse. The Green Deal people will soon get a hefty blow. Financial giants like BlackRock / Vanguard are clearly distancing themselves from this lie. 

Syria was a shining light in the region. But for most, she was unexpectedly overrun with apparent ease. All prepared for over 30 years, already when Hafez al-Assad was in power, the US started meddling. They intensified their interference in the early 2000 with a supposed pipeline from Qatar through Syria, which was probably planned by the US in connivance with Qatar, knowing that Syria would never allow it to protect her ally’s, Russia, gas market in Europe.

But it gave the US yet another argument to further destabilize Syria. 

Chaos, upheaval and destruction; murdering of the worst kind in Syria of anybody who can still be linked to Bashar al-Assad. Human rights abuse, torture no end. 

Listen to this remarkable discussion between Mike Robinson and Vanessa Beeley about the events of the past week in Syria, including Vanessa’s escape from the terrorists (50-min podcast):

Alternatively, you may listen here.

The west is cheering, and the rest of the world is just looking on. Now the total downfall, total chaos of the Middle East is almost a given.

Will Trump want to find a solution?

The world needs a peace-loving leader from the East or from the West. Not a globalist, because globalists want Power not Peace. The current chaos is what the west wants – the US, UK, Europe, Israel and even Turkey. But it is doubtful that chaos in the Middle East would be in the long-term interest of the self-proclaimed masters of the universe. 

Somalia may be a good example of man-made chaos and kept as continued chaos. For decades Somalia has followed a similar pattern as is now inflicted in the Middle East. When it gets out of hand, and risks to spread to other areas and countries, inconvenient to the west, the US air force comes in on a flash, dropping a few bombs until the chaos becomes normal and manageable again.

Will President Trump leave Syria to the old terror groups set up by the US et al. in the first place – and new ones to be created, which arm themselves largely from the weapons shipments to Ukraine, of which at least 70% goes directly to the black market, already reported on over a year ago by BBC and CNN?

Some analyst-pundits predict that 30 to 50 years from now, the Middle East may become a nuclear-contaminated, uninhabitable, literally untouchable piece of land.

Let us hope this can be avoided.

If a genuine peace-leader, either from the west or the east, were to intervene in the Middle East by stopping the Zionists’ march towards a Greater Israel, restoring old frontiers, giving back Palestine to the Palestinians, there is a chance that the Middle East could become a viable partner to the rest of the world — with the hydrocarbon reserves continuing driving the world economy, towards a civilization of shared values and shared benefits.

Maximum Pressure 2.0: Trump Planning To 'Drastically Throttle' Iran's Oil Sales

 

Maximum Pressure 2.0: Trump Planning To 'Drastically Throttle' Iran's Oil Sales

by Tyler Durden
Friday, Nov 08, 2024 - 03:50 PM

A strong indicator of what a second Trump presidency's approach to the Middle East will be has been seen in the appointment of Brian Hook, who was special envoy for Iran in the first Trump administration. Hook is expected to receive a high level national security post this time around, and he previously led the 'maximum pressure' campaign against the Islamic Republic.

It's being widely reported that 'maximum pressure' against Tehran is back on, for example in the Wall Street Journal on Friday: "President-elect Donald Trump plans to drastically increase sanctions on Iran and throttle its oil sales as part of an aggressive strategy to undercut Tehran’s support of violent Mideast proxies and its nuclear program, according to people briefed on his early plans."

"I think you are going to see the sanctions go back on, you are going to see much more, both diplomatically and financially, they are trying to isolate Iran," a former White House official was quoted in the report as saying. "I think the perception is that Iran is definitely in a position of weakness right now, and now is an opportunity to exploit that weakness."

Nigeria Announces Sale of OIL in non-U.S. Dollars

 

Nigeria Announces Sale of OIL in non-U.S. Dollars

Hal Turner     October 8, 2024

Nigeria has announced it will begin selling CRUDE OIL in local currencies other than the U.S. Dollar.

Nigeria is one of the Top 15 countries in the world for crude oil production.  It has the eighth larggest oil reserves in the world, and is the sixth largest Exporter of oil, globally.

De-dollarization continues, unabated.

The world is finally "on to" the United States and its Fiat currency.  They're calling it "US-dollar Ponzi scheme"

Let this sink in...

Strikes (Missiles & Dockworkers) Spark Surge In Oil, Gold, & Bonds; Big-Tech & Bitcoin Battered

 

Strikes (Missiles & Dockworkers) Spark Surge In Oil, Gold, & Bonds; Big-Tech & Bitcoin Battered

Today's mixed macro picture (construction spending down, National Manufacturing surveys and Dallas Fed in contraction offset by surge in JOLTS) was overwhelmed by Strikes (from Iranian missiles and American longshoremen).

The widespread union strike deadline passed and bond markets shifted lower in yield on that news overnight. Then as Iranian missiles rained down on Israel, investors poured into safe-havens (bonds, gold) and dumped stocks as oil prices re-discovered geopolitical risk premium.

It's Spreading: America's Top Oil Field Terrorized By Armed Venezuelan Gangs

 

​​​​​​​It's Spreading: America's Top Oil Field Terrorized By Armed Venezuelan Gangs

by Tyler Durden
Friday, Sep 06, 2024 - 02:11 AM

It's only going to get worse from here, as the Biden-Harris administration's disastrous open border policies have now come to a 'neighborhood near you' (for some of you). In the past week, we saw armed Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua members terrorize the northern Denver suburb of Aurora and other sanctuary cities run by far-left Democrats. New concerns out Thursday afternoon indicate critical infrastructure is now under threat from migrant cartel members. 

According to Libs of TikTok, a Texas-based oil/gas company issued a memo to employees informing them that police and the FBI have warned armed Cuba and Venezuela migrant gangs are committing thefts in the Permian Basin (America's highest producing oil field). 

Here's the memo:

Industry peers and law enforcement in West Texas (WTX) are aware of a recent increase in organized criminal activity inclusive of violent crimes, gang activity and oil field thefts in and around WTX operational areas. Specifically, regional law enforcement and the FBI advised that gang members emanating from Cuba and Venezuela are organizing and working in concert to commit thefts within the Permian Basin. These individuals and groups are armed, violent in nature and will not hesitate to use force.

Crimes associated with these groups include the theft of oil, diesel fuel, copper wire, and catalyst elements. Recent incidents have also included two assaults by water haulers who were attempting to steal oil from WTX oilfield sites. After the thieves were observed by witnesses who drove up to investigate, the thieves attempted to use their vehicles to run the witnesses off the road. In another incident, a thief, acting as a spotter and following a water hauler who had stolen oil, also attempted to run a witnessoff the road. There have been numerous reports of second vehicles acting as spotters for water haulers committing oil thefts.

An industry peer provided the below snapshot of a video surveillance of an armed thief checking out an area before stealing diesel from the location.

Biden drops sanctions -- and another war happens

Biden drops sanctions -- and another war happens

It's getting to be as predictable as sunrise.

Joe Biden drops sanctions on some rogue regime to get hold of its oil -- and then another country gets war rained down on it, attacked and invaded.

Anything but drill our own.

It seems to be happening for a third time during this Biden administration, this time with Guyana the victim.

The timelines for all of these incidents are remarkably precise. Start with the first one, from Europe, via CNN, dated July 21, 2021:

WashingtonCNN — 

The US announced Wednesday that it has reached a deal with Germany that would allow completion of the controversial Nord Stream 2 pipeline opposed by the Biden administration as a “malign influence project” that Russia could use to gain leverage over European allies.

“While we remain opposed to the pipeline, we reached the judgment that sanctions would not stop its construction and risked undermining a critical alliance with Germany, as well as with the EU and other European allies,” a senior State Department official said Wednesday.

The announcement is unlikely to end bitter divides over the pipeline, with US lawmakers condemning the agreement, Ukrainian officials immediately weighing in to say they are lodging diplomatic protests and even the US acknowledging their opposition to the project remains firm.

“I would just say emphatically that we still oppose Nord Stream 2, we still believe it’s a Russian geopolitical malign influence project, none of that has changed,” the senior official said.

Net beneficiary? Russia, which was subject of the opposition.

Less than a year later, via Wikipedia, we got this:

Massive Oil and Gas Reserves Discovered Under Gaza – Israel Grants Development Licenses

Massive Oil and Gas Reserves Discovered Under Gaza – Israel Grants Development Licenses

Fact checked

Since the war started, Israel has already awarded a dozen oil and gas exploration licenses in Palestine to six different Big Oil companies, including BP.

We should know by now that when both political parties in the U.S. show bipartisan support, something deeply sinister is happening behind the scenes. We should also know that when a superpower starts using human rights as a justification for their actions, there’s always an ulterior motive. Remember Saddam Hussein’s “weapons of mass destruction”?

Blogger's note:  Netanyhu made sure that Israelis died at the the hands of Hamas (Which Israel founded and funds).  He did it for money.

Biden is DESTROYING the U.S. fossil fuel industry and handing over refining market to “dirty” China 09/12/2023 // Ethan Huff

Biden is DESTROYING the U.S. fossil fuel industry and handing over refining market to “dirty” China

09/12/2023 // Ethan Huff

Those who "lead" the governments of the United States and many European countries are deliberately cutting off their respective nations' economies at the knees by allowing the West's earth-based fuel and energy infrastructure to crumble. Here in the U.S., such destruction is occurring at the hands of fake president Joe Biden, who is actively selling off the U.S. fossil fuel industry, including the entire refining market, to "dirty" China.

America's energy infrastructure and resources are in such disrepair, and refining capacity constantly declining, that any disruptions – this includes the smallest supply chain hiccup or delay – will send energy prices into a tailspin of wild and extreme volatility.

When the U.S. was still a relatively stable country with competent leaders at the helm, gas prices would remain pretty much stable year after year, save for the annual summer rush and busy holiday seasons. Today, gas can rise and fall sometimes 20 or 30 cents a day – and such volatility will only worsen the more our energy infrastructure and resources are dismantled.

"The market is overly sensitive to any unexpected supply disruption anywhere," says Frederic Lasserre, the global head of research at the Gunvor Group, one of the world's largest independent commodities trading houses. "Everyone knows there's no plan B. We have no stocks, and we have no excess capacity anywhere."

Russell Hardy, the CEO of Vitol, another energy and commodities company, agrees. He told the media that during the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) "pandemic," many refineries closed, leaving Western markets with a perpetual lack of sufficient oil products.

(Related: If Biden does not get his way in forcing his "green" agenda on America, there is a chance he might declare a "climate emergency" and seize COVID-like dictatorial powers.)

Tired of high energy prices? Blame Biden and the rest of the uni-party

Where Biden's actions – or rather, non-actions – come into play involves his regime's relentless antagonism towards the earth-based "fossil" fuel industry. Every chance it gets, the Biden regime chips away at our energy infrastructure while pushing far-fetched "green" alternatives that do not even hold a candle to what oil and gas provide for a vibrant economy.

It is almost as if Biden and his cronies are trying to crash the nation by depriving us all of the oil and gas we need to keep our homes heated and cooled, our trains, planes and automobiles running, and our food growing and making it to the grocery store.

Right now, prices at the gas pump are at their highest seasonal level in more than 10 years. Part of this massive inflation is being blamed on, get this: "extreme heat." Any excuse except for the truth will do, eh?

As for diesel, the fuel that "powers global industry," to quote Zero Hedge, this critical form of gas is even more expensive than unleaded. And just like with gas, there are no stockpiles of diesel in case anything goes wrong – and you can be sure that eventually something major will go wrong, probably right on time, that brings Western commerce to a grinding halt.

To make matters even worse, it is becoming increasingly more expensive to pay for oil and gas refining. What few refineries even remain are running at full capacity, the highest capacity at which they can safely run, and it is still becoming prohibitively more impossible to produce energy that people can actually afford to buy.

According to Sri Paravaikkarasu, director of market analysis at Phillips 66, the refining industry is "crying out" for fresh investment, especially as oil demand continues to grow in China and other Asian countries that, unlike the West, are expanding their fossil fuel use rather than trying to switch to solar panels, wind turbines, and wishful thinking.
