Zion Oil & Gas Inc (ZNOG)

[Imperial Whazoo]

I can't help but be a little bit suspicious of the timing of the "news" of the SEC whatcamacallit. Zion will be announcing its oil/gas find victory soon, or so I think. That said, let me spin a wild conspiracy theory.

First, look at Ezra 4, which details the trials and tribulations involved in the rebuilding of the second temple. Notice that the folks occupying the land offered a hand but were rejected. In effect, with the rejection of co-operation from the Israelites, the people who were attempting to maintain their control of the value in the territory lost it, and so, what did they do? They turned to leverage behind the scenes with the king of Babylon.

OK.... so consider the facts about the number of entities stocking up on sizable positions in ZN.... various ETFs & mutual funds & acceptance in the Russell, and so forth. Also consider the non-denial denials of one company, Genie Energy (GNE: (purportedly sitting on a huge find in the Golan). Now check out the pedigrees of the "advisory board" of GNE.... reads like a who's who of the deep state.

OK... so just speculating, with ABSOLUTELY ZERO factual basis.... but lets say there really is huge oil under the Golan and that another massive find, close to it but INSIDE UNDISPUTED ISRAELI TERRITORY has been now been found by Zion Oil (ZN).

Ask yourselves: "If I'm a bigtime deep state swamp creature and I'm deeply sunk in an oil find in the Golan, which may not be at all valuable due to strategic geo-political vulnerability in the Golan.... If I want to get rich and another company (ZN) has found oil nearby, in the same area, but inside Israel itself, how could I use my deep state hidden powers to steal the other company's find?

Answer: "Gin up a fake controversy, (akin to a fake accusation of Russian collusion, for example) via a fake SEC investigation (that ultimately generates no violations of any SEC regulations) that drives prices down so I can accumulate at a discount, and which allows me to sacrifice the Golan in the name of "Peace" while financially benefiting from the gigantic find the other company has discovered (Zion Oil, for example). I'd say such an exercise of deep state raw swamp power would do the trick.

Just a theory. Just a wild theory....

Just saying'..... I've ZERO EVIDENCE BACKING ANY OF THIS UP. Just thinking out loud. Just read Ezra 4 and think horizontally and longitudinally.

Say, are there any aspiring novelists out there on this blog? I'd say I've just spun out a very good spy thrill-style paperback's plot, right?
