BIG ISRAEL ENERGY DEVELOPMENT, RUSSIA, OMAN and BERNIE SANDERS

The following about ISRAEL and energy is a BIG DEAL!
Of course, it comes simultaneous to/with other regional developments, including US PRESIDENT Hillary Clinton wheeling and dealing at the moment.
Am not sure IF, how, whether or not, it MIGHT be related to/with developments surrounding Hillary's presence in the area.
But, timing is notable. Here's the LEAD SENTENCE. A MUST READ:

"The Ministry of National Infrastructures, headed by Uzi Landau, said yesterday that it has decided to halt sales of oil and gas exploration licenses..."

The above comes on the heels of another Israel energy article about which I made mental NOTE at the time, but, did not highlight because I WAITED to see WHAT, if anything, would happen.
The above happened:

"Whose Gas Is It?":

RUSSIA

Then, a Helmer piece about Russia's ports with some nice factual information and an intriguing question raised about another ambiguous group and individual, SUMMA CAPITAL HOLDING and MAGOMEDOV.
Here's Helmer's LAST SENTENCE AND QUESTION HE POSES:
"...If Summa is a holding for a group of silent partners, and if Magomedov is managing their interests, then their part in the creation of Russia’s newest champion is likely to be as big as its value is still unknown."

OMAN

Finally, a small item about Oman below which caught my attention.
I cannot prove this, but, I have A HUNCH, a strong, definite FEELING on my part that a connection, correlation, trade off exists between the following report and OMAN'S recent Iranian payment, ransom for a US hostage release:

BERNIE SANDERS

Lastly, a June, 2008 post I did prior to s-election, ordination, of our November, 2008 HOPE AND CHANGE Obooma.
Precipitating my brief 2008 retrospective is the fact Vermont's nominally Independent Senator, Bernie Sanders, appeared on C-Span, AGAIN, this morning, engendering customary, usual accolades about how Left, Socialist and Independent is Sanders.
So, I thought I would link to a June 2008 retrospective post involving Sanders, related, as well, to the ever TOPICAL subject matter above and below:
