LOS ANGELES, July 12, 2012 — Every once in awhile an event comes along that cannot be overstated. No hype is too much. Every bit of hyperbole is deserved. Every cliche is acceptable.
On July 2nd, 2012, an article describing such an event slipped under the radar. Using the caveat “if true,” then a world-altering, game-changer has just taken place. Life as we know it on Earth could change. The balance of world power may be shifting.
Apparently, Israel has oil.
Let that sink in. Israel…has…oil.
Holy Beverly Hillbillies, Jed Clampett. Sweet mother of Texas tea, J.R. Ewing.
Say it again, repeatedly. Spell out every letter. I-S-R-A-E-L…H-A-S…O-I-L.
The numbers are staggering.
“Israel may have the third largest shale oil reserves in the world: something like 250 billion barrels. (The US is believed to have the equivalent of well over 1 trillion barrels of potentially recoverable shale, with China having perhaps one third of that amount. Canada may contain the equivalent of 2 trillion of barrels conventional oil, more than Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Iran combined.)”
Shale oil is not as easily recoverable as conventional oil, but because Israel has so much of it, it is still economically worth it to extract and recover it.
Israel has more than oil. They have natural gas. Lots of it.
“Drillers working in Israeli waters have already identified what look to be 5 billion barrels of recoverable oil in addition to over a trillion cubic feet of gas. Israel’s undersea gas reserves are currently estimated at about 16 trillion cubic feet and new fields continue to be rapidly found.”
Not millions. Not billions. Trillions. Trillions of cubic feet of natural gas.
For those who want evidence, turn to Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin has already flown to Israel and prayed at the Western Wall. He did everything but dance and sing Hava Negilah. His remarks were so pro-Jewish that Arab groups in the Middle East immediately moved up their weekly rage explosions by an entire day.
Mr. Putin does not do business with anybody unless it benefits Mother Russia. He does not normally praise a Western religion while maintaining control over the largest atheist nation. He has already begun cooperation between Russia and Israel. This oil boom is real.
This could end the regimes in Iran and Syria without firing an external shot. OPEC could be nothing more than a trivia answer to the question of who Donald Trump despises more than Rosie O’Donnell.
Israel is already cooperating with Canada while America snubs two of their greatest allies. Israeli and Canadian Prime Ministers Benjamin Netanyahu and Stephen Harper have completely bypassed President Obama. Even Mr. Obama’s energy-killing EPA cannot stop this. What North Dakota is doing for America, Israel may now do for the world.
A true potential victory over global terrorism. Honest oil markets. Prices based on value.
The land of milk and honey may become the land of petroleum wealth. The miracle of the orange groves may now be the miracle of natural gas.
Radical Islam may have just seen its future death, with zero power to stop it.
The world is now a better place.
Israel has oil.
