Mideast $400 Oil Imminent With Mideast Upheaval


Gee, the people in a couple of oil rich nations decide to throw off their shackles, and look what happens....all hell breaks loose.

So what will happen if these insurrections and revolutions keep spreading throughout the middle-east?  Some prognosticators are now worried that Saudi Arabia, which produces 20% of the world’s oil requirements, may be next on the list.  Look what is happening now;  Oil is around $100 per barrel, and could skyrocket if Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi goes through with his threat to sabotage the Libyan oil infrastructure.  Some 1.8 million barrels of oil flow out of Libya on a daily basis into mostly Europe.

Should oil hit $150, $200 or more per barrel, it would set off a cascading effect across the world.  Food prices would become exorbitant in third world nations causing further mass demonstrations and revolutions, (see our other blog entry today about the spreading protests).  There would be mass job cuts as industry down-sized due to the rising production costs. This would result in increased unemployment throughout the world, causing even more demonstrations and revolutions. It would be foolish to think that these events would not hit the shores of the Western nations as well.  The West is dependent on cheap oil in order to power their economies. The events that would be sweeping across the world would happen here too.  (We suggest you prepare yourself now).

The Bible is clear that a sweeping change to the world economy is coming.  James chapter 5 tells us that great wealth will suddenly disappear into thin air, while Revelation chapter 6 warns that food prices will become very expensive.  Doesn't it seem that what was foretold in these biblical references is indeed beginning to happen?  Out of this economic chaos will arise a new global centric economic system, featuring 10 brand-new economic zones or Kingdoms, (Daniel 7), headed by a global world leader, (the Antichrist - Revelation 13).

See how fast things can turn on a dime?  All because a few people in a couple of nations decided now was the time to get rid of a leader or two.  Almost makes you wonder if it wasn't by design.


From the articles:
One of the quickest ways to bring down the U.S. economy would be to dramatically increase the price of oil. Oil is the lifeblood of our economic system. Without it, our entire economy would come to a grinding halt. Almost every type of economic activity in this country depends on oil, and even a small rise in the price of oil can have a dramatic impact on economic growth.  That is why so many economists are incredibly alarmed about what is happening in the Middle East right now.

In an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV, de Borchgrave discussed the impact that the uprisings in Libya, Iran, and other Middle Eastern nations could have on the price of oil. Some economists also have speculated that, if oil surged to $400, the pump price for gasoline could hit $15 a gallon.  Oil was selling at more than $95 a barrel on Wednesday, and there’s no telling where prices at the pump — currently around $3.17 a gallon — could rise to if per-barrel oil prices soared to those levels, according to de Borchgrave. “This could get pretty bad because of what’s going on in Libya,” he says. “Libya pumps about 1.8 million barrels a day,” some of which is pumped out of the eastern region around Benghazi “which has now in effect seceded.

The events unfolding in Libya mark the first uprising in a major oil producing country this year, giving energy traders their first indication of where crude could climb if Mideast turmoil were to spread to Saudi Arabia or Iran. “Pricing in Libya supply disruptions is one thing, but what if this social unrest spreads to Saudi Arabia, which holds 20 percent of the world’s oil?” said David Rosenberg, chief economist and strategist for Gluskin Sheff. “Do the math: we’d be talking about $200 oil.”
