During this 40+ minute interview, Jason asks Steve about his recent article about how the Shale oil industry in the US is collapsing.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed returning guest, editor of The Hat Trick Letter at Golden Jackass.com http://www.goldenjackass.com/, Jim Willie. This is an interesting 90+ minute interview.Questions/Topics for the interview include:• Recently, there was a secret meeting between Russia and a Saudi Prince- Was the meeting about a coordinated oil production cut to move the price higher to save the world's largest oil producing countries? Or about what to do about Syria and pipelines? Or a mix?• The IMF has said Saudi Arabia can only survive at most 5 years of low oil prices at their current burn rate in foreign exchange reserves before they go bankrupt too. Almost every other OPEC producer has spent most of their oil profits almost as soon as the profits come in and are in much worse shape than the Saudis. Will OPEC be going to China begging for a bailout if oil prices don't rise again soon? • Some Wall St commodity traders are illegally buying $10/barrel oil on the black market from ISIS. Why ha

The roots of U.S. policy of fomentingIslamic radical terrorist groups as a tool extend all the way back tothe early 20th Century (led by the U.K.), but the biggest milestonealong the development of this "tool" is best represented by formerNational Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski's plan to build-upAl-Qaeda as a proxy force, setting an Afghanistan "bear
