Executives at a Bermudan firm funneling money to U.S. environmentalists run investment funds with Russian tycoons.
A shadowy Bermudan company that has funneled tens of millions of dollars to anti-fracking environmentalist groups in the United States is run by executives with deep ties to Russian oil interests and offshore money laundering schemes involving members of President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle.
One of those executives, Nicholas Hoskins, is a director at a hedge fund management firm that has invested heavily in Russian oil and gas. He is also senior counsel at the Bermudan law firm Wakefield Quin and the vice president of a London-based investment firm whose president until recently chaired the board of the state-owned Russian oil company Rosneft.

passed those millions along to some of the nation’s most prominent and politically active environmentalist groups. The Sierra Club, the Natural Resource Defense Council, Food and Water Watch, the League of Conservation Voters, and the Center for American Progress were among the recipients of Sea Change’s $100 million in grants in 2010 and 2011.
...
The Sierra Club, which received nearly $8.5 million from Sea Change in 2010 and 2011, launched its “Beyond Natural Gas” campaign the following year. The effort has become one of the largest and best-funded environmentalist campaigns combating fracking and the extraction of natural gas in general.

The liberals' hatred of cars has always been a bit mystifying. I guess they hate the fact that someone can get in a car and go wherever they want with no permission from the government.
Lefties driving large SUVs and large trucks tell me that their main goal is to get everyone else off the road , onto a bus or train run by union thugs = taxpayer money all around, so that they get to zoom around empty highways and find easy parking spaces.
The environment, etc. is just a scam / tool to get their goal.
I seem to recall something about DuPont helping to launch the anti marijuana campaign because it did not want help competing with it’s new nylon, especially rope.
In the mid-Atlantic, there has been a lot of move to protest a Liquid Natural Gas exporting facility at Cove Point, MD. It seems to me that the big effort to stop that began right after Putin took over the Crimea and began the rebellion in the Ukraine with threats to cut off their fuel for the winter. The push was especially strong with certain very far left groups there, although they got a little distracted with Ferguson.
Meant to write HEMP not HELP.
Potheads love to invent history, part of their paranoia. Synthetic rope rolled in bigtime just before and during WWII because the natural fiber source was the Philippines, which was in Japan’s hands starting in the early ‘40s.
Do you know whether or not there was any move, talk to start planting hemp to make up for this loss due to Japan.

Hemp was grown in the US during WWII for the war effort.
Since asking about hemp growing for war effort, I ran across an article I had clipped from an old Kentucky newspaper which wrote that the Univ. of Kentucky was proceeding cautiously to see if they should promote hemp for agricultural purposes as a replacement for tobacco growing.
