Once the administration of the school got on the "bomb hoax" path with this thing, there is no getting off. Like I said when this thing all originally broke. Not some impoverished African, he got connections too. The clock kid's dad was a Presidential candidate in Sudan. So this invitation to the clock kid seems a natural fit for them. Qatar might be the only country there to become an Arabian Singapore. It is bad for global warming, renewables and all that, but for sustained economic growth there is nothing like low energy prices. So if oil goes back over 60$ fracking will start to thaw and it will keep oil below 80$ all the time. The fracking leases already bought have been paid for, and new leases are coming in at low prices. But fracking does not need large lead times. OPEC is hoping fracking will stop, inventories will dwindle and the oil price will go back up. But least hurt nations are Qatar, its survival price was about 60$ a barrel last Dec, and Saudi Arabia because it built a reserve fund and its production costs are so low. But it took all other OPEC nations by surprise, there was no concerted action, no help from Saudis for immediate budget needs, so all hell broke loose and oil went south all the way to 40$ a barrel. It was hoping it would stabilize at 80$ a barrel, making fracking not worth the investment, while stretching its reserve funds. It built a large fund slowly to weather the storm and dropped the oil price. Sensing the danger fracking is posing to OPEC, Saudi Arabia decided to take care of itself first. But the government has so many obligations, borrowings, interest obligations etc etc, it needed oil to be at 105$ a barrel to survive. Saudi Arabia has the lowest production cost, less than 5$ a barrel.

It gives freehand to Al Jazeera, as much a free hand you would expect from that part of the world.Īmong the OPEC nations, Qatar has the lowest "survival" oil price. It is trying hard to diversify away from oil. But among the emirates, sultanates, sheikdoms and kingdoms over there, Qatar is one of the more progressive ones. Not saying Qatar is a paradise of democratic virtue or anything. People love to hate and if you start pointing out facts you might just find yourself being the next Emmanuel Goldstein or worse, dragged before a court on hate-crime charges.

And if they don't shut up after that, we just have to direct our PC sheep towards them in the ultimate social DDOS attack.

But it DOESN'T MATTER because we'll just ignore the facts and bury any naysayers under a torrent of racism accusations. No one bothered to check to see if his "story" is actually true. But fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
Look - not ALL muslims are bad! Poor little kid got oppressed by our nasty school system it's not his fault he's a genius.Īnd then the President (with abysmal ratings) decides to stick his oar in and see if he can salvage any credibility. In this case, the poor oppressed muslim boy genius image is a winner because it's something to throw into the face of "islamophobes" in a day of islamic terrorism and the islamic invasion of Europe. Journalistic integrity is dead and the self titled historians have decided instead to become fantasy writers. But mostly on what sounds like a good story to sell a point. Politicians cater to the press, and the press is only loosely based on reality. Less than 24 hours after Ahmed met President Obama at the White House, the family issued a news release saying, "After careful consideration of all the generous offers received, we would like to announce that we have accepted a kind offer from Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF) for Ahmed to join the prestigious QF Young Innovators Program, which reflects the organization's on-going dedication to empowering young people and fostering a culture of innovation and creativity." Prior to the announcement, some in the press sensed something was amiss when the President seemed to give Ahmed the cold shoulder on Monday after personally inviting Ahmed to the White House for "Astronomy Night." Last month, Ahmed enjoyed a decidedly warmer welcome at Google, where he was literally put front and center before the Google Science Fair winners (including Grand Prize winner Olivia Hallisey, who came up with a novel way to detect Ebola), and enjoyed a meet-and-greet with Sergey Brin. Theodp writes: The curious case of Ahmed Mohamed, the 9th grader who was cuffed for scaring school officials with what turned out to be a repackaged digital clock, has taken yet another twist with news on Tuesday that the 'Clock Kid' and his family will move to Qatar.
