Anyone Want to Connect the Petro-Dots?

Anyone Want to Connect the Petro-Dots?

Richard N. Weltz

Let's see now, methinks there are a few dots out there just begging for someone to connect them:

* George Soros and his various money-distribution organizations such as MoveOn.org spend heavily on behalf of Obama's run for the presidency.

* Soros invests over $800 million for a large stake in Petrobras, the Brazilian oil company.

* The U.S. arranges for the Ex-Im Bank to guarantee loans of $2 billion to Brazil for exploration of offshore oil finds.

* Brazil makes a huge find right at its front door.

* The U.S. shuts down virtually all drilling and exploration in the Gulf of Mexico, continues offshore bans along the East and West coasts and off the coast of Alaska.

* Libya, Africa's largest oil producer, erupts into a bloody revolution against the régime of the psychotic tyrant Ghaddafi.

* Obama materializes in Brazil and explains to oil executives that, "We want to help with technology and support to develop these oil reserves safely, and when you're ready to start selling, we want to be one of your best customers."

* Hundreds of thousands of American workers in energy, energy-dependent, and related industries see their hopes for re-employment dashed.

Now, is it just me, or does anyone see any connections?

Oh, it's just the author. There is never any sort of connection between democrats being in charge, being funded by filthy rich fascists, and filthy rich fascists getting richer. Forget that sort of trash talk and just think about how well off you're going to be when all those green energy jobs kick in and you have free health care!!

Henry Kissinger declared in the 1970’s, ‘If you control the oil you control the country; if you control food, you control the population.;
(Control energy byproduct, CO2, and you control not only energy but also food. ) Stop the EPA CO2 regulations.

What was all this Rat business about no-blood-for-oil? Surely this is only a scolding for the GOP? Or do they need to go look in a mirror?

Here’s another dot — one that somehow got overlooked: Soros sold his stake in Petrobras along about last September. Anyone care to hazard a guess as to how that changes the picture?

You forgot the dot that the Brazilians just received a deep water drilling permit from the DOI for the Gulf of Mexico.

“Petrobras, the Brazilian state-run energy giant, is to begin drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico this month with deep water technology never before used in US waters.”

Soros got busted on his Petrogas investment and sold it 6 months ago.

I wonder where he laundered the money. He didn’t just exit the market and stuff it under his mattress. There was a big murder trial in Fort Worth with Cullen Davis, a billionaire, on trial. The prosecution focused on his business empire as a motive and they uncovered literally hundreds of companies and shell companies that he controlled. The point is that the fascist Soros could still be reaping BIG TIME from this scheme - why else would Barry be sticking his neck out?

Who bought the almost one billion dollar share?

Soros has a few Brazilian companies to which he could have moved the shares to.

Soros has also put money in Brazil using his Buenos Aires- based Adecoagro venture, which invests in agriculture and renewable energy in Latin America.

The firm said in February it may hold an initial public offering to fund projects including a Brazilian sugar mill.

“At least we get more oil.....”

Yes, we should be grateful that we will be getting more oil. So what if it’s from another country. (sarcasm)
