OPEC Declining Influence & The Shale Gas Revolution
Stratfor Europe Analyst Adriano Bosoni examines the challenges facing OPEC, including internal divisions and the increase in U.S. oil production.
Meanwhile the shale gas reserves located in the United States could be the key to energy independence in this country in 2023, meaning that its exports were higher than imports. The extraction system of this gas is based on the technology of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, where shale is bombarded by water and chemicals releasing the gas. Besides the United States there are many other countries in the world are betting on this energy source.

Economic Collapse Imminent - Prepare Before It's Too Late
Economic Collapse Imminent - Prepare Before It's Too Late
Does America really have 8000 tons of gold? I very much doubt it. The wall street crooks have stolen most of the money for the next 2 or 3 generations and they have magically have left the gold alone. Not likely. Thoes vaults are empty people.Just try redeem those gold certificates. You will ernd up getting thrown out of whatever criminal enterprise you bought them from without a gram of your gold.
17 TRILLION in debt is a shit load of debt and no one would buy your debt if there wasn't something in it for them. This deal was cut years ago and the deal is for the stablization of the Middle East. It ain't gold or silver that runs this planet, it's OIL and Energy Technology. They need to kick it down because the old world is obsolete and the structure is rotten to the core. It'll suck for the next four years and there will be those who won't make it but it's for the best.
Is the JAPAN STOCK MARKET Drop the START of a GLOBAL FINANCIAL COLLAPSE?
Is the JAPAN STOCK MARKET Drop the START of a GLOBAL FINANCIAL COLLAPSE?
Japan's top government spokesman said on Thursday that Thursday's plunge by the Tokyo stock market was a temporary adjustment and that the Japanese economy is steadily picking up.
"Share prices appear to have been undergoing temporary adjustment over the past week," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told reporters.
"A rise in share prices over the past month has been extremely rapid ... In that regard, it would be unnatural if adjustment did not occur," Suga said.
The Nikkei share average dived to a five-week low on Thursday as the yen firmed further against the dollar.
Uncertainty about the U.S. Federal Reserve's next course of action and a sharp, sudden plunge on Wall Street sent Asian stock markets lower Monday.
Japan's Nikkei 225 index lost 3 percent to 13,359.16, echoing U.S. stock market losses Friday. The Dow dropped more than 200 points, its worst drop in six weeks. The Nikkei also weakened as the Japanese currency posted gains against the dollar, a currency movement seen as negative for Japan's exporters since their products become more expensive when sold overseas.
The Federal Reserve is spending $85 billion a month on buying bonds to push down interest rates in hopes of spurring borrowing and spending. That has propelled investors into stock markets in search of higher returns.
Encouraging reports on housing and hiring, along with a soaring stock market, have led many to suspect that the Fed could cut back on its bond buying in the coming months. Some believe the stock market could plunge without the Fed's support.
South Korea's Kospi fell 0.3 percent to 1,994.37. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 fell 0.5 percent to 4,903.90. Benchmarks in Indonesia, Singapore, the Philippines and Taiwan fell. Benchmarks in mainland China were mixed
