Something to watch. There are headlines going around that there are Iranian warships in the Suez Canal (viz ZeroHedge). Apparently the warships are headed for Syria, and Israel has even hinted at retaliation.

Oil just shot straight up.

I can understand why Israel might be concerned. Wouldn't do to have warships 12 miles off the coast supporting any kind of offensive.

Don't think the ships would fair too well in the opening moments of a conflict, though.

Yea, I heard him say 2 Irianian war ships heading to the Suez Canal...apparently on their way to Syria...

Israel will not take this lightly...dangerous move on Irans part...but they are itching for a fight now more than ever. Their nation is rocking with protests just as other ME nations.

BTW ...HEADS UP!....Feb 19 Huge pow-wow of ME leadership to meet....sounds like an ingathering to unite them all according to the numbers planning to attend. Huge event.

"Well I used to be disgusted, but now I try to be amused."

I see this situation going about as badly as can be, while Obama smiles and nods and says, "We worked hard to achieve this outcome."

Oh come now! Obama has proven time and time again that he has the ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Does it seem like this stuff is just coming at us faster and faster? Maybe these are the days Yeats was referring to...

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned.
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity...

...And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

And now it begins. M. Espinola has been proven 100% correct again in his FR predictions.

Some people point to 0 for all these problems. But 0 is merely following orders issued by his elitist controllers: CFR, Trilateralists, Bilderberger and Bohemian Grove demon worshipers

photographic proof here

"Oil will soon hit $ 150 and then go to $ 200 per barrel," according to whistle blower authorities Lindsey Williams. Here comes gasoline priced at the pump at $ 5 + per gallon. Food will continue to skyrocket in price according to many sources including your local television news today. More Here
