Oof: OPEC+ Panel Recommends Cutting Oil Production by 2 Million Barrels Per Day; White House Having "A Spasm and Panicking," Per US OfficialAn earlier report said that the panel might recommend a cut of more than one million barrels per day. But, via Bonchie from RedState, the cut was deeper than that: Javier Blas That's the recommendation. It hasn't been formally accepted yet. But we're looking at a big cut, and a big hike in oil prices. Right before the midterms. From CNN, via Bonchie: Members of the Saudi-led oil cartel and its allies including Russia, known as OPEC+, are expected to announce production cuts potentially up to more than one million barrels per day. That would be the largest cut since the beginning of the pandemic and could lead to a dramatic spike in oil prices. I understand why Russia wants to cut production-- maybe. I'm not sure why the Saudis would go along with it, but there are a couple of possibilities: 1, the Saudi crown prince is still angry that Biden accused him of murder, threatened him with consequences, and never apologized for doing so, even as he begged the Saudis to bail him out of a jam by increasing oil production to make up for the suppression of oil production that is a key plank of the Green New Disaster. 2, there is currently a fairly serious popular uprising going on in Iran. I hear from a source, who heard from his source, that this uprising is actually more serious than those in the West appreciate, and that the Revolutionary Guard has announced it will remain neutral if there's a credible challenge made against the regime itself. Recalling that Obama bailed Iran out of a similar threat-to-the-regime in 2009, I'm wondering if Biden is right now attempting to prop up the Iranian regime behind the scenes, and the Saudis (and the various other OPEC members who are allied against Iran) have decided to show their extreme opposition to the US again swooping in to save the mullahs. That is a complete wild-assed guess on my part. I know of no actual reporting suggesting a covert effort to aid the mullahs and I don't have any tips suggesting such a scheme, either. I'm just speculating about what could animate the Saudis to absolutely kick Biden in the Creepy Ivory Tombstone Veneers. And meanwhile the Biden Administration is calling this a "hostile act" and threatening our 60 year allies the Saudis -- "All to avoid more domestic oil production," as liberal-gone-sane Dr. Michael Shellenberger says. He posts this chart from the Wall Street Journal showing the oil leases granted by the federal government under presidents since JFK: He notes, "In March 2022, before the US cut-off, the U.S. imported 18M barrels of Russian oil; in 2021, the U.S. produced 19M barrels of oil *per day*. A single lease in Alaska that Biden administration killed would have produced over 5 million barrels per month," linking his own article on the subject. President Joe Biden, spokespersons for his administration, and Congressional Democrats say they are trying to get out the truth about energy and climate change against Republican and fossil fuel efforts to deny it. Over the summer, Biden denied he was "limiting oil production" and accused oil refiners of restricting production. In July, White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said, "natural disasters... are getting worse because of climate change," which, he said, had caused the war in Syria. And Rep. Ro Khanna, on September 15, 2022, said, "If there was a war on energy, how is Exxon, Chevron, BP, and Shell making over 200% profits? You can't have a war on an industry and then they're having record profits." And yet the government conspires with the monopoly corporations whose very existence they control to censor and punish anyone who disputes their New Green Disaster narrative. Biden remains committed to the Green New Disaster, which plans for the artificial scarcity of energy. As his "best friend" Obama said about shutting down electricity-producing coal-fired power plants, "Electricity costs will necessarily skyrocket." Oil and gas prices are necessarily skyrocketing as Biden reduces production to a trickle, but he doesn't want Americans to get angry about this all at once. He wants them to be like the frogs, who get accommodated to boiling water by having the temperature raised on them a little at a time. So when the water starts to bubble and boil, Biden runs to Saudi Arabia and begs them to just open the taps more, just for a while, or he drains the Strategic Petroleum Reserve a little more, until it's nearly dry -- just so the boiling water doesn't quite scald the frogs and send the jumping out of the pot he's cooking them in. Sometimes he even ends sanctions against brutally repressive regimes: Michael Shellenberger @ShellenbergerMD He'll toss some cool water into the pot to reduce the over-boiling, but what he definitely does not want to do is take that pot off the stove. It is imperative that the pot be kept on the stove, and that the frogs always be kept on the slow boil. The Green New Disaster must continue at all costs, and no new American domestic oil production can be allowed. All he will do is Manage the Boiling by keeping it from boiling up too much all at once. But he will not turn the temperature down. The frogs must ultimately cook. They just must cook slowly enough that they do not revolt against the chefs. The Saudis are going to be inflicting some pain on America, but Biden could stop that pain almost immediately by ramping up America's own prodigious capacity for oil production. But he won't. Dinner must be served to the WEF, and you must eat the bugs. Via Sasquatch, the original Trans-Wookie. | Recent Comments
