“What I Saw At The Coup”.
The end of the clinton lies?
Is she terminal?
“And what doth it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his immortal soul.”Matt. 16:26
Yes, that’s it.
Now fill in why it was necessary to remove Assad and you should have most of the picture.
I think what would work is serious boycotts of the sponsors. Money talks. A quantitative way we can speak. If GM or General Mills sponsors The Kelly File, we can speak by not buying their products. Specifically telling them I bought Corn Flakes or a Ford because you sponsor The Kelly File. They get thousands of those letters an no matter how cheaply they get their cars or raisin bran made for they can’t stay in business. Also don’t visit their sites, or pay for cable TV. Another way you can choke the networks and the MSM.
Because Assad does not care for the Saudis and was in the way of the pipline deal.
They intended to tie that line up with the Turks to go across the straights also I suppose. That is why they are supplying Isis.
Russia is in there for two things. Their Naval base in Syria, and to try and control the flow of OIL. Why? Because Russia needs to keep the price of oil up. They are getting killed right now because the price is down.
.
That is why Trump must win.
That’s a GREAT idea!!!
Democrats are a pack of liars.

The Kurds actually operate the oil pumping and pipe in Kirkuk. They have no problem selling on their own volition to the the Turks and they have done so many times.
The Iranians, in the recent past, have run a convoy of tanker trucks of oil they purchase from the Kurd well operators and they sell on the black market. But it’s only been for $5 to 6 million a pop, not a real cash cow business for them. Trying to make a revenue stream from small tanker trucks is nothing compared to a Suez Max tanker vessel that can load a million barrels of crude. But that small stream was big to the small-time bastards that ran it. It would be big to most any individual but it was not big enough for a government to purchase black market nuke tech which is the prize for Iran.
Now that Obama has given billions and billions to Iran, I expect this little black market activity is not as lucrative.
The Russians in this oil biz are usually rogue operators, the type that would sell their ‘friends’ out for less than 6 figures. One must pack heat to get these bastards to pay attention when negotiating, or have a couple of 300-lb gorillas standing in back of you as you lay out who gets what cut.
The Russian government has a problem with the oil prices but they are unable to do anything about it because the USA has for example in the Bakken alone proven reserves that are much more than 10X those of OPEC; the US Crude out of the Bakken is also light and sweet making it even more valuable. The only advantage the Saudis have is they are able to extract oil from their ground at about $6 to $10 per bbl whereas it can cost $25 to $35 for US drillers in the Bakken. But that only means the price they can get is maybe 50 or 65 at most. They are not going to see 100 per bbl again. So longterm they are screwed.
Donald Trump in his amazing way is able to get the truth out which is that prior to Obama/Clinton, Iraq was stable, and the rest of the region was hesitant to make trouble for fear the Americans would drone them or blast them in a number of ways. The monitoring ability of the US is awesome. Terrorists can barely take a crap without it being seen, as long as the President insists on tracking them.
Trump was also 100% correct in his statement that Obama/Clinton created ISIS.
The Russians, referring to their government, not their rogue bastards, will not take crap from the Clintons. They know from Serbia, Kosovo, Belgrade bombings, that Hillary Clinton is crazy, reacts emotionally, flies off the handle, is reckless. It was Hillary on one of her expensive ‘tours’ in Morroco in the late 1990s that told Madeleine Albright over the phone to bomb away. Homophile Wesley Clarke clicked his heels and carried it out. That was while the debauched co-President was tied up with his lies about abusing the 20-year old intern under his desk.
The whole goddam situation with the Clintons is beyond awful. I am sorry to say I don’t blame Putin here. The Russians are preparing for war because Hillary Clinton is a mad woman, she really is. She risks all of our lives in the process of throwing one of her insane fits. And she and her dems have the gall to talk about Trump and his lack of ‘temperament’.
And God says He hates liars, and those who take false oaths!! I am praying there are enough Americans who are NOT liars to end our national curse.
— he has emails from her —
That will be the structural steel column to break the camel’s back
When the actual emails too/from Obama surface...... it can’t be hidden or ignored
Thats all true except that they are targeting the euro market.
Right now, the traffic conditions in the Suez canal is such that they cant let the amount of supr tankers through like they would like to. That and the cost of running through that canal.
A pipeline is the only alternative. Like you said, the US has enough reserves we dont need this crap. But the Euro nations do and that is what they are after.
Here is tha amazing part. The Russians have VAST reserves under Siberia. If the dumb effrs would only go after that and tie up the Eastern Markets more, they would be...
I had a long term partner in Amsterdam just next to Royal Dutch Shell and who knew all the key people there.
A few years back he was begging me every day, several times a day to get a deal organized to ship natural gas in the form of LNG to Europe from the USA. It’s when the Russians were putting the screws to Western Europe over NG supply. The Europeans rely on NG to heat their homes and for cooking. I was with a trade group working alongside people affiliated with companies from the T. Boone Pickins group.
There is so much NG in the USA that it needs to be flared off because there’s too much of it. My partner and I knew the person next to the CEO of RDS who arranged for financiers to fund a fast construction of a gas liquefaction plant for exporting LNG.
Everything was in place except for the export license. The Obama Administration never approved of it. If we had had a President like Donald Trump, Americans by the millions (no exaggeration) would have found lifelong rewarding and well-paying jobs in gathering, piping, liquefying and exporting LNG to Europe. The USA is capable of being the world’s leading supplier of NG. The Koreans were also begging for it and were willing to invest in building an LNG facility and terminal in Long Beach, CA.
As for Europeans needing Russian or Russian-controlled oil, not so much. Royal Dutch Shell, Total, BP, etc. are very advanced in their supply chain. Of course Russia oil companies would like to displace the major European oil companies but that’s not going to happen because these companies procure oil worldwide.
The Russian government is more concerned strategically about their borders and the ‘infection’ that an empowered Islamic Terrorist sponsor would bring to their jurisdictions. They have to grapple with the Chechens and other Islamic ethnic groups inside their borders. It is best if they have allies in the Middle East such as Assad to provide a buffer to Islamic fanaticism. The Russians have fought for centuries against Islam and are to a great extent a historical factor in Europe not falling under Islam. They know the problem very well, much better than Americans.
They know they must contain fanatical Islamic infection. If they don’t, then it matters not how influential they are with their oil. Entire regions of Russia can fall apart if fanatical Islam takes hold. It is very serious to them. Assad is in the way of Islamic fanatism, how? The region of Northern Iraq (Kurds), Eastern Syria, Northwest Iran and Southeastern Turkey are inhabited by ethnic people mostly of Islamic affiliations that have no particular loyalty to one government. Should that region fall to fanatical Islam, then like dominoes will fall or destabilize Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and into Russia. Historically that is the pathway Russia has suffered.
Further, control of Syria is not oil-driven because there is a large stretch of border between Northern Iraq and Turkey. The Russians have little or no influence in any of that. That is where much of the ISIS fighting has taken place. It follows the Saudis do not want to take a risk there. Syria is just as risky because both ISIS and the Russians are there.
The Saudis are not backing ISIS to get a pipe in Syria. They are backing ISIS because of their ruling role in the Sunni sect of Islam. SA has plenty of markets to sell oil. China will take all they can get out of Dubai.
What the Saudis are losing is market influence because the US market is flooded with domestic oil, that and the financial underpinnings of the price of oil out of New York, is creating oil revenue pain. Their response has been to try and crash the US domestic oil producers and they haven’t succeeded.
What the Saudis see in Syria is not an opportunity to run oil into Europe, they’ve always had that as a prospect even when oil was sub-$20 in the 1980s. There’s nothing new under the Sun there. Rather, they see a threat to their existence.
The Kurds, ISIS, Iran, Syria, if consolidated as a bloc with Turkey, form a very powerful influence on the region. The rule of Islam is very vertical. If one ruler’s influence is diminished, the path of hundreds of millions of adherents becomes unattached and willing to adhere to the emerging influence. It’s about control of tribal peoples. Borders mean very little in that part of the world.
