The international banks didn't just "dump oil" they also dumped gold which drove down gold prices and propped up the dollar.

He's so right about Paulson! Thankfully someone is finally seeing this man for what he is!

The US was demanding more oil production and we created too much supply. Add that to American's using less gas then you get a falling asset. OPEC announced they were slowing production due to price of gas falling, and if the world realizes our currency is counterfeit you will see the prices go back up.

It's largely to do with banksters' geopolitical objectives. Inflating and deflating commodity prices based on financiers' control over the markets is a form of ECONOMIC WARFARE. By rigging large up and down price swings, they're also able to rake in maximum profit (= fraud, insider trading). And it's much easier to corner the market on various commodities if they control the price! Monopoly = control.Also check out Dave McGowan's online article "Stalin and Abiotic Oil". (And Lindsey Williams.)

Typical teenager. "Good riddance"? Do you think you will be rid of the 'god dam warmongers'? The 'warmongers' have merely LOOTED the US & will likely be relocating with all the material assets, as they have left the currency behind like used toilet paper. "Good riddance"? You're all confused, teenager. The US citizens are 'going down the tubes'. The 'War Mongers' will be relocating to mansions in YOUR country, you dumbell. If I had a son like you, I'd kick him everyday.

Max! I love you! Please don't take any unnecessary plane trips. We NEED you to call it like it is. Please watch your back.

when a barrel of oil losses 60% from its peak, its not from less demand. you don't see 60% less cars on the road, or 60% less factories. i want a more technical answer. im sure there is less demand, deleveraging, etc. can someone give me a more complete answer as to why oil is so cheap now?
