The real money trail involves Warren Buffet owning a bunch of railroads that would lose business if the pipeline gets built.

Bingo: “The real money trail involves Warren Buffet owning a bunch of railroads that would lose business if the pipeline gets built.”

This is just another example of the two critical ways we need to look at anything liberals are involved in:

1. Cui Bono, or who benefits, when bs surrounds and covers up or shrouds their overt or covert actions with any activity with libs in control of where money and power can be gained.

2. Follow the money after #1.

The answer to who benefits when the Keystone pipeline is killed/stalled is simple. It is Warren Buffet and his enviro pimps/whore, who get paid to fight Keystone.

Warren Buffet owns/controls most of the railroad old tank cars and the railroad which bring the oil from Canada to US refineries.

How many of the Rat $inators get a lot of money now and in IOUs from Buffet to keep Keystone dead?

Warren Buffett’s Massive Railroad Lobby

What do train whistles and Warren Buffett have in common?

If you answered old-fashioned charm, you’re wrong.

The Sightline Institute, a Seattle-based think tank, calls the avuncular billionaire “the man behind the exploding trains.”

Buffett’s company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns Union Tank Car Company, North America’s largest leaser of tank cars. Berkshire also owns BNSF Railway Company, which moves many of those cars.

Again the rat’s MSM has hidden this important fact from us.

You don’t expect Thom Hart Mann to admit that do you?

Correct! Socialist, POS billionaire Buffet has the most to lose if Keystone goes through. He’s built a near rail car monopoly for hauling oil.

For the oil sands deal to be financially effective, you need oil to be around $100 a barrel. Less than that....it just doesn’t make profit-sense. The crowd got smart, delaying this....pushing them to use US railways to deliver it. Even I bought US rail stock in the last year and made a handsome return. Now with oil drifting down to $70 a barrel....the oil sands crowd will just shut down in the spring of 2015, and no one will have interest in building the stupid pipeline. That’s the bold side of this whole gimmick....they all milked this for it’s value...even the President. And now? Even after they pass this...no one has interest to start the pipeline until the barrel price recovers to $100 a barrel....which might be five years away.
