Israel, the richest oil country in the world
My group of analysts and activists are watching what’s going on with the Kurds. We are working to support a federated Syria or an autonomous Kurdish area. We are also following the moves by Russia.
We are arranging for a conference to take place in Washington to make the Kurdish case to the power brokers there.
This article was written June 25/12. Since then Russia is reputed to have made a deal with Israel in which they get a big interest in the Leviathon fields. Thus Israel would have Russia on her side to thwart the Turks. Russia has also funded both Greece and Cypress. Also Russia won’t be opposed to this gas going to Europe because they are part of it.
Where does that leave the growing relationship between Turkey and with some of the Kurds?
Tensions Boil As Israeli Oil Riches Grow
By Ed De Sheilds, Omega Letter
Israel’s once hidden oil riches are now certain to be so large its treasures could make it the richest oil country in the world. And, its neighbors are not only noticing, they’re boiling mad.
But, in the last three years Israel has discovered one mega-discovery after another. First, it discovered 1.5 billion barrels of oil onshore at Rosh Ha’Ayin, located about 10 miles inland from the Tel Aviv coastline. It was a small but important find that sparked a flurry of exploration activity.

Why Muslims Must Hate Jews
Recently a Pakistani religious leader, Pirzada Muhammad Raza Saqib Mustafai, said: ‘When The Jews Are Wiped Out… The Sun Of Peace Would Begin To Rise On The Entire World’. The same preaching is routinely done not only by clerics but politicians, in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, etc. This is not just Ahmedinijad, it is at the heart of Islamic theology that world peace will be established only when all the Jews are wiped from the earth. But few people in Western media are alarmed by this kind of rhetoric or care to expose this dreadful dark side of Islam’s obsession with Jew hatred.

Romney’s excellent trip
At the outset of his recent foreign trip, Mitt Romney committed a gaffe. In answer to a question about the Olympics, he expressed skepticism about London’s preparations. The response confounded and exasperated Romney supporters because it was such an unforced error. The question invited a simple paean to Olympic spirit and British grit, not the critical analysis of a former Olympic organizer.
Soon that initial stumble was transmuted into a metaphor for everything that followed. Themainstream media decided with near-unanimity that the rest of the trip amounted to a gaffe-prone disaster.
