Sounds cool, OPEC extraction has fallen so far this year and there are reports that the Saudi super giant Ghawar field is in decline by up to 4% or more and they’re only just maintaining their total production via a few new secondary fields. As Simmons said, once Ghawar is in decline we’re past peak as it is by far the biggest field in the world and the mainstay of Saudi production. But whatever happens it’s doubtful the Iranians will be given much air time in the US. I’ve been checking youtube.com and google video which have a lot of US tv videos and their propaganda channels on Fox and CNN are going feral ever since the surprise Israeli attack. The recent Lebanon slaughter was being billed as the start of WW3 by the usual establishment shills like Gingrich, Ledeen and a bunch of other high profile neoconservative crazies and they were given prime time to spread the propaganda. I think the Israeli’s actually backed away from widening the conflict and they’ve come under some virulent criticism by those same neocons for not attacking Syria. The current US regime is clearly the craziest on the planet and they’re getting very desperate as Republican support is collapsing across the board in the run up to their mid term congressional elections. WW3 and rigged electronic voting may not even be enough to save them although martial law and the suspension of elections would postpone the day of reckoning. Since the current US regime did 911, and the case for that is now very clear and is breaking into their mainstream media, another ‘false flag terror attack’ before the elections is also a distinct possibility.

The Wall Street journal ran a ludicrous propaganda piece by a Princeton historian Bernard Lewis ( http://www.opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=… ) suggesting the Iranians are preparing for the mother of all suicide bombings and will nuke Israel and/or the US on Aug 22 basically making the entire Iranian nation a martyr once the US and Israel respond in kind. It’s completely insane but the rabid mainstream US propaganda news and talk shows have run with it and their followers on the internet are spreading the word as you can see here:

These mad fuckers want nuclear armageddon, and about 1 in 3 US citizens are apparently uneducated and obesely Xian enough to believe this crap. Another 1 in 3 think Bush did 911 and are openly calling for the regime’s arrest. The last third are ‘undecided’. The US is going completely crazy, not that you’d guess from our utterly sanitized mass media.
