U.S. environmental activists who are working to halt the production and use of fossil fuels could be required to register as foreign agents if Congress gets serious about enforcing an existing law.
There was some potential movement in that direction last October when Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, introduced legislation that would put some teeth into the Foreign Agents Registration Act. The law, which was first passed in 1938, calls for individuals and organizations to provide full disclosure when they are working to advance the public policy interests of a foreign government.<\/p>\n
As the Washington Examiner<\/em> has reported<\/a>, Grassley\u2019s proposed legislation would close off an exemption that has allowed lobbyists for foreign interests to avoid registration while providing the U.S. attorney general with additional authority to conduct investigations.<\/p>\n
While the media remains largely focused on ongoing investigations into allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 campaign, the connection between Vladimir Putin\u2019s government and U.S. environmental groups deserves more scrutiny.<\/p>\n
Klein Ltd., a Bermuda-based shell corporation run by executives with strong ties to longtime Putin friend Leonid Reiman<\/a> and Russian energy investment groups including Firebird New Russia Fund and Vimpelcom Ltd<\/a>., reportedly funneled $23 million to the Sea Change Foundation<\/a>, according to a detailed 2014 U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee report<\/a>.

I’d be confident that OPEC is much bigger than Russia, China... etc.
USA institutions, corporations and DC, becoming largely foreign owned. These are not _ours_, anymore...
Russia, Venezuela,Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, all have direct interests in keeping American oil and gas production low.
Lets not forget Iran!
The entire Demorat Party is a foreign entity.
Once again, it's the Demagogic Party that is in bed with our enemies. Thanks E. Pluribus Unum.

Kalugin [former KGB general] said one of his most effective spying techniques was pitting American citizens against their own government.
“We appealed to pacifists and told them, ‘You cannot have peace unless you stop the internal situation of the U.S.,’” he said. “We got environmentalists and told them, ‘Capitalists spend any amount of money even if it does destroy your precious nature.’ Well, at the time, the Soviet Union was the most polluted country in the world,” he joked.
