Biden is Selling America's Reserve Oil to Foreign Countries

As a result of his domestic war on the oil and gas industry, energy prices for American families continue to hit records with no relief in sight.

For months, President Joe Biden has repeatedly tapped the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and claimed it was helping to ease the pain at the pump. Not only has the depletion of the emergency supply not decreased gas prices, we're learning the supply is being sold to foreign countries.

"More than 5 million barrels of oil that were part of a historic U.S. emergency oil reserves release aimed at lowering domestic fuel prices were exported to Europe and Asia last month, according to data and sources, even as U.S. gasoline and diesel prices touched record highs," Reuters reports. "The export of crude and fuel is blunting the impact of the moves by U.S. President Joe Biden designed to lower record pump prices."

If an enemy wanted to defeat America, is there anything they would do different?

They are engineering America to be defeated from the inside.

Can no one stop him?
The “president” is profoundly destructive.
Diabolically destructive to our country and way of life.
At least once a week, the house of Biden does or says something that makes me think I must have mis-heard, mis-read, mis-understood.

America does not seem significant enough to be mentioned in Bible prophecy.

Maybe the tinfoil about the Yellowstone caldera .... Dunno.

Every wrong decision is being made.

Well, no…but I don’t get the point…Biden, the elite political class and the Deep State bureaucracy ARE enemies of America that are trying to destroy it.

Nope. Our feckless Congress decided to let releases happen whenever the executive branch wants instead of putting in safeguards.

“Yellowstone caldera”

The Yellowstone caldera would be a much better, more noble, end than this civilization is going to get.

You cast it in the right light. He’s doing everything just
like an enemy nation in charge would do to us.

This kind of thinking is why I’ve come to reference him as
Xiden.

Xi has got to be thrilled to have so willing and pliable a
marionette at Obama’s control.

Who do we know who tried to destroy the United States other
than Biden? Sure seems like old times doesn’t it.

I was surprised that the Biden administration had the nerve to sell our reserves so I googled to find out how much and how quickly we were depleting it.

In 2009 we were at the maximum it would hold...727 million barrels.

Here is the data for 2022 to date...what has added to my concern is that with each month we are withdrawing a significantly higher quantity than the month before. Last month alone was 30 million additional barrels. If these increases continue it will be gone in less than a year.

This is treason. As we learned from the Trump Administration, domestic oil and gas production disproportionately reduces the cost of oil and gas in the United States. Depleting oil from our strategic reserves and sending it to other countries hurts the US, but does provide the opportunity for politically well connected players and parasites , such as the Hunter Bidens of the world, to rake in massive finders fees and skims in areas of the world where it's legal and there is minimal oversight of transactions. As usual, the American people are being screwed while grifting Washington fat cats get rich stealing us blind.

When can we impeach him for dereliction of duty and then impeach Kamala for the same? I have never ever seen so much destruction in such a short period of time.

Running a little late. Old news, according to the “Fake News Site, SATIRE ONLY” Real Raw News:

“Special Forces Seize Strategic Petroleum Reserves after Biden Gives Away 35,000,000+ Barrels” Feb 26, 2022

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Would not it be excellent if true?

Hopium. Wonderful drug, that.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

” U.S. Special Forces last Saturday seized control of the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) after learning that the criminal Biden regime had donated to France approximately 35,000,000 barrels of crude, 5% of our nation’s protected fuel supply, a high-ranking military source told Real Raw News.

Last November, the criminal Biden regime siphoned the SPR for 50,000,000 barrels, a move usually set aside for war, saying his actions would arrest rising gas prices and “put money back in consumers’ pockets.” Motorists, he touted at the time, would see a gradual decrease in pump prices over the next few months.

Instead, the opposite transpired; the median cost of a gallon of gas has increased 47 cents, an aberration not seen since the Carter years. At the time of this writing, the average gallon of gas cost $3.61, with some pumps on the west coast charging nearly double that figure.

In early January, as Omicron coverage still dominated broadcast news, clouding other issues of national importance, the U.S. Navy Judge Advocate General’s Corps received tip-offs from an alleged administration insider who claimed he had intimate knowledge of a conversation between Biden and Emmanuel Macron.

The socialist Macron purportedly told Biden that ‘playing along with the pandemic’ had financially crippled France’s economy. Lockdowns and the intentional bankrupting of many French companies, Macron said, had caused an unanticipated energy pinch, citing the temporary closure of Total, France’s main oil company and one of the largest publicly owned oil and gas companies in the world. Macron said his country didn’t have enough oil and gas to both heat homes and keep cars on the road, despite having “borrowed” tens of millions of barrels from countries such as Spain, Canada, and Germany. So, Biden, after consulting Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm, “loaned” Macron 35,000,000 barrels, the tipster claimed.

Our source said JAG at first rejected the tipster’s claims, believing him to be an agent provocateur, as his assertions made little sense, and JAG’s cursory investigation showed no evidence that Total had shuttered operations during the plandemic.

“Everything he said was shaky at best. Total’s stock was steady, something you wouldn’t expect to see if a major energy provider went dark almost two years. Investors would have screamed bloody murder if Total went dark. And as far as the U.S., we blamed the fuel spikes on the administration’s war on domestic energy production,” our source said.

Nonetheless, JAG pursued the investigation “just in case,” he added.

A deep dive into France’s energy sector eventually revealed Total had indeed closed four of its five refineries from January 2020, the start of the plandemic, to December 2021, when much of the world began to reopen. Moreover, Total’s push toward “green energy” had cost the company billions of unrecoverable Euros. Macron, it turned out, had concealed these facts by depleting his country’s petroleum reserves—79 million barrels—throughout the plandemic.

“I can’t say how right now, but we sure learned that Biden did ship to France at least 35m barrels of crude, and possibly much more, an act of treason. We keep those reserves, so we have fuel in time of war. The administration never released it into the U.S. economy, he gave it to France. And knowing he might make such a decision again, we acted to protect our nation’s national interest,” our source said.

JAG and U.S. Army Special Operations Command, he said, developed a plan to secure the four locations holding our country’s SPR—two underground salt caverns in Bryan Mound and Big Hill, Texas, and two in West Hackberry and Bayou Choctaw, Louisiana.

On Saturday, February 19, U.S. Special Forces encircled all four locations and, to their surprise, found each site guarded by armed agents of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

In West Hackberry, three FEMA agents opened fire after being told the U.S. military was taking control of the oil reserves. Special Forces returned fire, killing the agents. No Special Forces in West Hackberry were injured or killed, our source said.

In Bayou Choctaw, FEMA surrendered without firing a shot.

And in Bryan Mound, Special Forces had to hose down 5 FEMA agents that, after being given every opportunity, refused to surrender control of that location’s SPR. One Special Forces operative was wounded, but his injuries are not life-threatening, our source said.

Special Forces also seized the Big Hill SPR, though RRN has not heard whether anyone was wounded in the siege.

“The strategic petroleum reserve is now secure,” our source said.

However, a huge discrepancy exists between the quantity of crude at the SPRs and what should be there, based on the tipster’s report. On paper, the U.S. SPR holds 714,000,000 barrels, but the U.S. military counted only 565,000,000 barrels, an enormous difference suggesting Biden might have given away far more than the tipster claimed.

“There will be an accounting for this treason,” our source said. “We will find out who gave away that oil and who took it.”

So, it’s been this way for a while.
I’m surprised they didn’t stop allowing it during Trump’s term if he ever asked to do so. I don’t think he needed to.

We are talking about the beasts, not the false prophet.
AMerica is the Second beast that leads the world into service of the first beast.

That is their intention. They fully intend for it to be totally gone in less than a year. They fully intend to totally destroy the United States of America. And they got President Trump out of Office. So it was worth it from the point of view of the people. The Never Trumpers, the Hate Trump ites, the Lying Joe Biden supporters thought they were being cute when they executed their Coup and replaced President Trump with Lying Joe. I did not know that they were so many of them until this thing started in Ukraine and Biden’s source of dirty money was threatened. Then they came out of the woodwork to defend his ability to continue to get his dirty money. Anyone who does not agree with their line of thinking is called all sorts of dirty names and if they were allowed they would murder them. They must make sure that their god Lying Joe continues to receive his dirty money.

For anyone who denies the election was rigged, they can just look at the price of gas to understand that our leaders have sold us out to the foreigners. Globalism has created an international elite, much like the old European nobility, which cares nothing about the serfs on their global plantation.
