Alex Jones running with new oil predictions

[eromitlab]

Well, it's not really his of course. It's copy-and-paste from a CNBC article on one of his many fine, level-headed websites. Here's an link, offered begrudgingly. And this is the CNBC piece that someone at infowars copied word-for-word.

Six months ago, dire predictions of $200/bbl oil (engineered by Bilderberg and the global elites, of course) dominated the day. A couple of weeks ago, AJ was patting himself on the back when oil hit $50/bbl because a guest predicted it and it's supposedly part of a different secret elite plot "to bankrupt the Arabs and to bankrupt the whole world".

The new prediction? Oil rising to $76-80/bbl in the next two months, then an eventual slide down to $20/bbl. So, there you have it. Either the infowarriors will shout this from the basements, or they'll sweep it under the rug and talk about the next prediction. We'll see, I suppose.

So, if I have this straight, and correct me if I am wrong, if oil prices go up it is a plot by [insert evil entity here] and if oil prices go down it is a plot by [insert evil entity here].

Is that about it?

Don't forget that if oil prices stay level, it's also a plot by [insert evil entity here]. People are easily fooled into thinking that the markets actually move or don't move based on the actions of a large number of individual and institutional investors making independent decisions one way or the other...
or something.

Yuppers. Playing against the NWO is a classic three-rule game.

1. You can't win.
2. You can't break even.
3. You can't quit the game.

That should be "[insert evil entity here]" and "[insert different evil entity here]".


That way, it's cleverly designed to look just like competition!

They're really quite clever [insert evil entity here]'s, you see.

Seems like they are making this new prediction considering some other sources.

KUWAIT CITY (AFP) – King Abdullah of OPEC powerhouse Saudi Arabia said in an interview published on Saturday that oil prices of 75 dollars a barrel would be "fair".

His comments appeared in a Kuwaiti newspaper on the day OPEC was meeting in Cairo to review the turmoil in the world oil market and decide whether another crude output cut is needed to stop prices tumbling lower.

"We think that a fair price of oil is 75 dollars a barrel," the Saudi monarch told As-Sieysah newspaper.

Heh, I did a blog post on these competing predictions earlier. Troofers are always right!

[eromitlab]

That's what put it in my mind to post this, actually; seeing how many sides of the oil prediction game Alex will play.

I can see the game ol' AJ's playing here. If the prediction is right, he'll never let people hear the end of it. If the prediction is wrong, he'll sweep it under the rug and, should mention of it slip into the infowars bubble, he can just write it off to the analyst who made the prediction and/or make some claim that the global elites changed their plans. Plausible deniability; though it was copy-and-pasted to his websites and hyped up, Alex himself never actually made the prediction... though he'll be glad to take credit for it if it comes true.

Kind of off topic, but kind of funny. About 4 months ago, when gas was at about $4 a gallon, I saw a car with a bumper sticker stuck right to the paint, that read:

"When the Democrats took over Congress, gas was $2 a gallon!"

Hope homeboy used a nice sharp razor blade to remove it a couple weeks ago.

While we are off topic in this thread I will post here instead of creating a new one. Last night while watching the series finale of Boston Legal, the NWO was mentioned. The firm was being bought out by a company from china, and ex murphy brown did not approve. During her case to stop it she went into detail about China owning much of the US, including huge amounts of our debt. She said she had no doubt that one day we, the US, would work for China, that there would be a New World Order, but let them start with another firm. Interesting how that term is starting to be mainstream. AJ must have wet himself.

I'd bet one of the Boston Legal writers was a wrestling fan in the mid-to-late 90s.

did he think $145 a barrel was "unfair"???

i hate these people.

 

[zaphod2016]

Oil @ $20? I'll take that bet.

I'd love nothing more than an energy-independent America powered by solar and geothermal (et all), but I expect oil will remain a major factor for decades to come.

Considering the booming demand from China and Russia, I simply cannot believe oil will stay this cheap for very long.

Even as a connoisseur of conspiracy theory, I fail to see how cheap oil helps the powers that be. Isn't OPEC a major contributor to the NWO? I thought the global elite took care of their own.

 

[eromitlab]

Thought I'd bump this to mention that oil currently sits at $42 and only brushed against $50 twice in the two-month period it was supposed to go to $76-80.
Alex Jones, wrong... again.

 

[Horatius]

I'll just quote myself again:

..since in reading this thread again, my first thought, again, was, how is this different from, you know, competition?

Competition is evil.

Whatever! He knew that you knew that he knew that you would say that and has already prepared a statement that will claim the NWO are doing this on purpose to make him seem like he doesn't know what he is talking about so no one will trust what he says!

I mean...It's so simple!

You could always try Kirk's "Kobayashi Maru" gambit...
