Russian Money Suspected Behind Fracking Protests
2014-12-01
The headline is obvious. That it's being reported by the New York Times is not. The Bear and the radical environmentalists are joined at the hip on this one, just for different reasons...

#9  Does this mean if we're pro-fracking or (even worse) in the oil business we're Tranzis?

#8  Russians behind fracking protests--No surprise. They are most certainly behind the Ferguson protests too.

#7  Hell, Bobby, probably most of the older leaders of enviro movement had some sort of connection with KGB---and Vlad has the files.

#6  The article was about Europe, but that's doesn't mean the Rooshians ain't behind the anti-fracking movement here.

#5  If people want to be opposed to fracking, or to offshore drilling, or to windmills, or to coal-fired generators, fine. But then they should be opposed to it everywhere, not just in their own 'back yards,' or else they're just exploiting the 'little brown people.' They should give up using energy themselves or they're nothing but frauds.

#4  On fracking, however, Russian authorities have turned enthusiastically green, with Mr. Putin declaring last year that fracking “poses a huge environmental problem.” Places that have allowed it, he said, “no longer have water coming out of their taps but a blackish slime.”

Well, ya gotta give the Saudis bonus points for using capitalism - instead of bald-faced lies - to fight fracking.

#3  Was just gonna mention that P2K.

Pretty much all the anti-oil/energy domestic production money comes from overseas.

#1  This has been going on for many years. MLK was about to be arrested but a person of influence stopped his arrest. Seems he was funded by the communists. During the American revolution and after many were sympathizers to the enemies cause.
They had saboteurs even during WWI here. On and on it goes. At Andrews Air force base they had people trying to steal carbon copies of important high security personnel flights during WW11. On and on it goes. It will never stop. In my opinion the Democratic party has its hand out in a big way. The people they promote don't give them the money they need. They are currently developing a permanent block of underclass people that they wish to control. Money money everywhere where it goes we may never know.
