Subject: Israeli gas discoveries and shale gas potential
The Israeli’s have made some very large oil and gas discoveries in the off-shore Mediterranean Sea, but the major western oil companies like Royal Dutch Shell are not interested in investing in this new frontier. Wonder why ? How about fear of retaliation by Islamic terrorist groups and boycotts by Arab countries?
We can guess why Royal Dutch Shell won’t go near Israel – the company’s historical antisemitism during its association with Hitler and the Nazis.
Israel has massive potential in its oil shale resources, almost as much as the US and China. Perhaps as much as Saudi Arabia. Israel could in fact, in the next 20 years, become a serious exporter of oil and gas.
What is interesting here is that new drilling technologies are threatening to open up vast new reserves of oil and gas world wide and that could signal the end of OPEC’s pricing power in the international oil and gas markets. How would OPEC react ?? Who knows really, but it is clear that loss of that power would curtail their ability to set world prices and could spell the end of a 40 year gravy train. That in turn could set the stage for a great deal of political turmoil within the major OPEC producers as they begin to feel the financial squeeze.

Lebanon has now made claims on Israel’s largest off-shore gas discovery and the Iranians are threatening armed conflict if the Israeli’s attempt to develop what they claim are Lebanese resources.
Even more interesting, Egypt recently decide to stop selling natural gas to Israel. This is a consequence of a more radical political climate in Egypt and the recent political unrest. Egypt was supplying about 40% of Israel’s energy needs.

What is happening in Israel is part of a much bigger change that is sweeping through the oil and gas industry, one that will have major world wide political and economic ramifications. It is clear that the vast new energy resources that are being discovered and developed worldwide come as a consequence of dramatic improvements in exploration and drilling technologies, both conventional and unconventional. The developments are going to be a huge game changer in the world’s political and economic relationship with the oil rich countries of the mid-East. The political and economic influence of these regimes will eventually decrease dramatically. That shift is already beginning to happen.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
