The Islamic State knows when the current\u00a0downward spiral of\u00a0gasoline prices\u00a0is\u00a0actually going to\u00a0come to an end because they are the ones who are\u00a0actually causing it.\u00a0They know when the price of gas is going to stop dropping like a lead balloon because it&#8217;s their balloon. They are almost single handedly responsible for causing the current\u00a0worldwide instability in the oil and gas markets. The price of gasoline\u00a0has\u00a0now just dipped below $2.40 a gallon\u00a0here for\u00a0the first time in\u00a0over five years. In some places it is\u00a0even approaching <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gasbuddy.com\/GB_Price_List.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">$ 2.00 a gallon.<\/a>\u00a0 We are all reaping the benefits of lower gas prices at the\u00a0pump.<\/p>\n<p>You see ISIS has acquired some major\u00a0producing\u00a0oil fields in northern Iraq around the city of Mosul and they are selling their new found <em>black gold<\/em> rather cheaply on the Black Market to fund their take back of Iraq and\u00a0the take-down of its Shiite led, American backed government. Right now\u00a0all motorists are reaping\u00a0the benefits at the gas pump\u00a0because ISIS is selling their\u00a0war booty\u00a0very cheaply on the Black Market.<\/p>\n<p>ISIS is obviously not a member of OPEC and Saudi Arabia which is the most influential member of OPEC is matching the price that ISIS\u00a0charges for oil on the Black Market because they don\u2019t want the ISIS led revolution in the Middle East to succeed. The Saudis don&#8217;t want the ISIS\u00a0revolution in the Middle East to succeed because if it does then it would almost certainly mean the end of their western backed regime in Saudi Arabia. Whatever\u00a0Saudi Arabia does\u00a0the rest of OPEC does too\u00a0and so that explains the rapid decline in the price of gasoline, not the fracking revolution in the oil business. It may even\u00a0explain why we are in such a big hurry to bomb ISIS back to the Stone Age i.e. to restore the price of oil and gasoline to their previously high levels.<\/p>\n<p>I\u00a0used the term take back instead of takeover to more accurately describe what ISIS is\u00a0really doing in Iraq and Syria because these Muslims whom we in the West have\u00a0labeled as terrorists are actually members of the same Sunni\u00a0tribes that\u00a0America paid several years ago to help us defeat elements of Al Qaeda in the Iraqi city of Fallujah&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>But when\u00a0victory was achieved and\u00a0the American money stopped flowing to the tribes and when their Shiite led government refused to share power with them or provide them with jobs to feed their families these same unemployed and unhappy Sunni tribesmen became\u00a0the breeding grounds for the current Sunni Muslim revolution in the Middle East. These disenfranchised and discontented Sunnis of Iraq want to take their country back and how can you really blame them? After all they were in power for over fifty years under Saddam Hussein before we invaded their country and turned everything on its head. They are\u00a0the same Sunni Muslims who formed the core\u00a0group of Saddam Hussein\u2019s old Bath Party so\u00a0ISIS could literally be called <em>&#8220;Saddam\u2019s Revenge&#8221;. <\/em>That would be a much more appropriate designation than just calling them Muslim terrorists.<\/p>\n<p>Right now the price of a barrel of crude oil is way below the actual price at which fracking for shale oil is even profitable so it is certainly not the fracking industry that is responsible for the current low price levels of oil and gas. Furthermore\u00a0the price of\u00a0energy\u00a0keeps dropping lower every day on\u00a0the world market. The price of a barrel of crude oil is so low right now that\u00a0it doesn\u2019t\u00a0even\u00a0pay\u00a0to own oil stocks.\u00a0The bottom has truly fallen out of the oil market which\u00a0might help to explain the\u00a0current instability in the Stock Market as well. It&#8217;s up one day and down the next. It is very volatile. The Russian Ruble isn\u2019t the only thing that is suffering from the decline in oil prices.<\/p>\n<p>It is conceivable that Saudi Arabia might have wanted to drop the price of crude oil\u00a0to discourage American oil companies from fracking for more oil. They have manipulated\u00a0oil prices before to keep America from achieving energy independence, but they didn&#8217;t actually\u00a0do it this time. If they\u00a0did\u00a0then the current drop in oil prices would have begun a long time ago before the fracking revolution\u00a0even took off, but\u00a0it did take off. That&#8217;s the point. That&#8217;s why this explanation for the current decline in oil prices doesn&#8217;t make any sense. The timing is all wrong&#8230; But if you look back you will discover that the current downward trend in\u00a0oil prices actually began right around the same time that ISIS took over the oil fields of northern Iraq.<\/p>\n<p>As for an explanation as to why the mainstream media isn&#8217;t reporting\u00a0this&#8230; the United States government is currently bombing ISIS in Iraq and Syria. The Obama Administration would like the American public to support their mission which is to bomb ISIS out of existence. If the American people actually knew that\u00a0ISIS\u00a0is responsible for their good fortune at the gas pump they might not be so inclined to\u00a0support &#8220;the mission&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>No oil company executive in their right mind, or oil company board of directors would voluntarily agree to cut their prices so low\u00a0that it would\u00a0hurt their shareholders and investors. That would mean the end of their careers. The current instability in oil prices could never be the result of the &#8220;old boys&#8221;\u00a0getting together and agreeing to\u00a0roll back\u00a0oil prices just so we can\u00a0hurt Vladimir Putin and the Russian economy. That would never be something they would agree to\u00a0do because it would mean that they would have to reduce their corporate profits for the sake of a misguided government foreign policy.<\/p>\n<p>The rapid decline in oil prices can only be the result of the new players in the oil business. These &#8220;new kids on the block&#8221; are truly outsiders. They are not a member of\u00a0OPEC. The new players in petroleum politics spell their name ISIS and they are the main reason that the price of a barrel of crude oil is now flirting with fifty dollars for the first time in nearly a decade.<\/p>\n<p>If you liked reading this article then\u00a0please let me know by clicking the LIKE Button below and\u00a0then sign up for my free RSS Newsfeed located at the top and bottom of the page.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Corroborating Sources<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gasbuddy.com\/GB_Price_List.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.gasbuddy.com\/GB_Price_List.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Select Related Articles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/a-perfect-example-of-why-you-just-cant-trust-the-mainstream-media-anymore-why-is-the-price-of-gasoline-really-going-down-at-the-pump.html\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/a-perfect-example-of-why-you-just-cant-trust-the-mainstream-media-anymore-why-is-the-price-of-gasoline-really-going-down-at-the-pump.html<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/when-is-the-price-of-oil-and-gas-going-to-stop-coming-down-isis-knows\/\" data-send=\"false\" data-layout=\"standard\" data-width=\"450\" show_faces=\"false\" data-action=\"like\" data-font=\"\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img width=\"125\" height=\"94\" src=\"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/gas-prices.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail-excerpt\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><p>They say that whatever goes up must come down&#8230; so down and down it goes, the price of oil and gas and where it stops nobody knows.
