Soros’s Oil Spill Payoff
Frontpage Mag ^ | June 22, 2010 | Tait Trussell

Posted on 06/22/2010 8:42:35 AM PDT by opentalk

Within 48 hours after President Obama issued the six-month moratorium on deep-water drilling, the George Soros-backed Brazilian oil company, Petrobras, contacted a large New Orleans company, Laborde Marine, which services the deep-water drilling market. The company was seeking to lease all its vessels. “If the moratorium on deep-water drilling is not lifted, 33 semi-submersible rigs and/or drill ships affected will simply go to other countries where they will be well received, such as Brazil,” Cliffe F. Laborde and J. Peter Laborde, Jr. wrote in a June 4 letter to their Louisiana Senators.

Could this be merely a happy coincidence for George Soros, the major financial backer of Obama’s presidential campaign who also has $811 million invested in the Brazilian oil company, Petrobras? Wasn’t it enough of a payback to Soros when the Obama Administration loaned up to $10 billion to Petrobras? Soros, with his far left-wing organization, MoveOn, is called the Godfather of world socialism. But most relevant currently is that he has been an enthusiastic proponent of global warming and environmental liberalism. He has urged adoption of a global carbon tax. Could it be more than coincidence that his position is strikingly similar to what Obama called for in his June 14 Oval Office speech on the Gulf oil spill and future energy actions?

Now Soros takes the gulf oil collection facilities away from the US.

Man. This is truly the presidency from hell.

Interesting coincidence ping!

I agree. This presidency is even worse than I imagined during the campaign when it started to look like he would win.

I can’t even imagine the creeps (perhaps Soros) that are actually pulling Barry’s strings. I get the feeling everyday that he really is a Manchurian Candidate, groomed from a long way back. I rarely believe in conspiracies....but dang....I am starting to think this is one....to turn this country into a post 1960 USSR. It makes me physically sick to see what is happening.

Glenn Beck’s Monday (06/22/10) show was all over this. A REAL eye opener.

Glenn Beck delved quite deeply into this yesterday on his show on FNC. Absolutely bone-chilling.

On his radio show today Beck said he will cover more of it tonight. Asks the question why are we funding a foreign company to drill?

from link in article

Is it a coincidence that Obama backer George Soros repositioned himself in Petrobras to get dividends just a few days before Obama committed $2 billion in loans and guarantees for Petrobras’ offshore operations?

Glen Beck nailed this story on yesterdays program and laid the whole senerio out on his chalk board . It would be hard to believe that huge crimes are not being committed as this unfolds and the bamster is a 2 billion dollar contributer to a venture that will explore for oil in 14,000 ft. of ocean off the Brazilian coast instead of the 5,000 ft Horizon well in the gulf . He shuts down the US explorationin in wells over 500 ft. while investing in a well that is three times deeper ,,,,, HHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!

If I heard Glenn Beck correctly yesterday, the timing’s reversed. Soros bought Petrobras shares two days BEFORE Obama’s moratorium announcement. Mix nix perhaps, but there can be little doubt that some master plan exists.

WSJ-

...But it still doesn't allow the U.S. to explore in Alaska or along the East and West Coasts, which could be our equivalent of the Tupi oil fields, which are set to make Brazil a leading oil exporter. Americans are right to wonder why Mr. Obama is underwriting in Brazil what he won't allow at home.

that are actually pulling Barry’s strings

America is learning up close and personal that puppets make very poor leaders.
