America’s emergency oil supply is heading to Europe: It’s bad enough that Biden is dipping into our reserves to save himself and his party from the inflation he caused but what’s happening now is even worse
American Thinker ^ | 04/20/2022 | Andrea Widburg

Biden’s executive orders ending the Keystone Pipeline, along with exploration and drilling on almost all federal land, when combined with the Democrats’ and RINOs’ uncontrolled spending (made possible by printing money), has created unprecedented inflation in America. To try to stave off the worst of it before the mid-terms, Biden recently announced he was releasing 1 million barrels of oil per day from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve. However, it turns out that he’s sending at least some of that oil to Europe!

When you have a government that destroys America’s energy independence, you’re going to have rising fuel prices. (As an aside, Congress really needs to end the president’s—any presidents’—power to have that kind of control over oil transport, drilling, and exploration in America.) Maybe Americans could sustain those increased fuel prices but, if you add to that Modern Monetary Theory, which says that America can just print money forever and no one will notice, you’ve got trouble, big trouble.

In this case, the trouble is the worst inflation in over 40 years. That’s probably inaccurate, though, and inflation is actually worse than it’s ever been. The fact is that, since the inflationary 1970s, the government has meddled with how inflation is calculated. If we used the old metrics, the inflation in America, which has also risen faster than in anyone’s lifetime, is much higher already than it was in the 1970s. We’re in deep doo-doo.

Because economics determine election outcomes, the fact that the Democrats have overseen this economic collapse is a sign that they’re going to be destroyed in the midterms. It doesn’t help when you add in the open border, gender madness, the Afghanistan debacle, and rising crime.

Joe Biden’s decision to release 180 million barrels of oil from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve - one million barrels per day for 180 days, ending just before the midterm elections which the Democrats will lose in an avalanche - was meant to help lower US gasoline prices “because Putin price hike.” Instead, it is heading for Europe.

According to Bloomberg, citing a person familiar with the matter, the Suezmax ship Advantage Spring - sailing for Rotterdam, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg - received emergency SPR sweet crude from Energy Transfer’s Nederland oil facility around April 1 for export.

The Suezmax also received SPR crude from Aframax Eagle Hatteras, which loaded at same [sic] terminal in first week of April.

Is there a list long enough for treasonous acts?

This could mean that Europe is ready to stop accepting Russian oil.....which they have not done until now.

Our oil is meant to prevent a total economic collapse of Europe if they choose to do this.

Meanwhile, Russia is profiting nicely as their oil exports are at similar level to those before the invasion....but the price per barrel is higher thanks to the rhetoric coming from the west.

Dems are much better at solving imaginary problems like gender terms than real problems like producing energy for food production.

Most likely it means BIDEN has diminished America's strategic resources to a point it is open to invasion and destruction.

This simply has to be a bald-faced lie. There is no way the administration could be stupid enough to do that. I do NOT believe this.

Sung to tune of FLIPPER

And they call them GRIFTERS
GRIFTERS
GRIFTERS of thee

No one you see
Steals more completely

And we know that GRIFTERS
Steal all not nailed down

across the town
Hiding their graft, hiding it fast

They all love to take, all they don’t make

Ever so low, as low as can go
Bait and switch,
adults or kids they’ll bewitch

And they laugh at taking your cash

They are called GRIFTERS
GRIFTERS
GRIFTERS of we

Stealing from you
Stealing from me

And we know that GRIFTERS
Steal all not nailed down

Stealing from me
Stealing from thee.

"There is no way the administration could be stupid enough to do that."

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Especially if elements of said administration and its party have expressed hatred for the country they supposedly represent.
And if you believe the WEF/Davos and Soros types have their rat claws in our political institutions, then its screw the people of the US in favor of their own interests.

This reminds me of "Atlas Shrugged", where in this case "pirate" Ragnar Danneskjold was "reappropriating" wealth stolen from the productive to support corrupt governments.

The use of the SPR is hideously stupid. First, this is not strategic a use. The SPR exists for times of real national emergency when there is extremely limited sources of oil and should be used for national defense. Second, the release of 1 million barrels per day does very little to the price of oil. The world consumes approximately 97 million barrels of oil per day. Thus, the release puts about 1% more oil on the market. That does not move the price of oil. There are many other factors that move price much more substantially. Lastly, the oil in the SPR needs to be replaced and taxpayers will have to replace it with more expensive oil with money the Fed has to print, thus further increasing inflation.

Someone should put that list together for the GOP idiots. Obviously, they can’t do it.

Biden didn’t decide this, one of his bureaucratic camp followers did this. I want to know the name and position of the peckerhead who first floated this notion.

The official rate is 8.5% for inflation. I’m guessing the real rate is at least 17% averaged over all goods and services, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it were north of 20%.
