U.S. oil floods Europe, hurting OPEC and Russia

I don't know that much about the oil industry but this seems to be pretty good news to me. One little item buried in the stury is that American crude is gaining favor over North Sea crude from Europe's own back yard.

In January-April, U.S. supplies jumped four-fold year-on-year to 6.8 million tonnes, or 68 large Aframax tankers, according to the same data.

Trade sources said U.S. flows to Europe would keep rising, with U.S. barrels increasingly finding homes in foreign refineries, often at the expense of oil from OPEC or Russia.

In 2017, Europe took roughly 7 percent of U.S. crude exports, Reuters data showed, but the proportion has already risen to roughly 12 percent this year.



Two Eco Groups Funded by Russian Money

Now this is "collusion" in the full meaning of the word. Russia is already being threatened by US oil exports, so doing what it can to stop fracking is not out of being possible.

Natural gas development of the celebrated Marcellus Shale deposits has spurred jobs and other economic growth in neighboring Pennsylvania. But not in New York, which nearly 10 years ago banned the process of hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking, to produce natural gas.

Two environmental advocacy groups that successfully lobbied against fracking in New York each received more than $10 million in grants from a foundation in California that got financial support from a Bermuda company congressional investigators linked to the Russians, public documents show.

The environmental groups Natural Resources Defense Council and the Sierra Club Foundation received millions of dollars in grants from the San Francisco-based Sea Change Foundation.

Follow the money trail, and this [New York] ban on fracking could be viewed as an example of successful Russian espionage,” Ken Stiles, a CIA veteran of 29 years who now teaches at Virginia Tech, told The Daily Signal.



Harvesting water from fog with harps

Child ‘Beaten in Unprovoked Attack’, Police Say Not ‘Cost Effective’ to Investigate

This is not only a disgusting headline but a chilling one. When law enforcement looks more to finances than to its sworn duty to protect and defend, we have truly reached a low point in our existence.

Victoria Woods said her daughter Isabelle was punched, kicked, and thrown down a hill in Wildmoore Avenue Park, Oldham, on Wednesday in an unprovoked attack after she was set on by a group of around 15 youths — none of whom she knew, Manchester Evening News reported.
Recalling how her daughter was “in floods of tears” after the attack, which left her with bruising, deep scratches, and “caked in mud”, Ms. Woods described the response from Greater Manchester Police (GMP) over the incident as “diabolical”.
A day after reporting the assault she received a telephone call from a female officer who explained that police would not be taking the case any further “because it wasn’t a major crime and it was ‘just kids fighting’, in her words,” Ms. Woods said.


Notice that nowhere is "the gang of thugs" clearly identified. With everything else going on there, anyone care to guess who they were?


San Francisco Mayor tired of ‘enabling’ homeless population: ‘I don’t stand for that’



Oh my goodness! How can the mayor of the city of Love Children and Hippies be so uncaring? Aren't those poor, unfortunates the same as the rest of his city? Deserving of humane treatment?

How hypocritical.

Farrell told the San Francisco Chronicle: “Enough is enough. We have offered services time and again and gotten many off the street, but there is a resistant population that remains, and their tents have to go.”
He added, “We have moved as a city from a position of compassion to enabling (unacceptable) street behavior, and as mayor I don’t stand for that.”



UK Labour MPs Trying to Undermine Their Own Leadership



One has to wonder if all the GOP retirements aren't an effort to do the same here. Turn Congress back over to the Dims in the hope that GOP leadership will take major hits. And, at the same time, perhaps bring in a whole new crew of Dims who will get rid of Pelosi and Schumer. Makes one wonder. But, back to the UK.

Corbyn’s supporters have slowly gained control of major institutions within the Labour Party. The essential next move is for compulsory re-selection of parliamentary candidates at every election and an organised purge of the Blairites. If the Labour Party does not take that step, I could not in conscience urge anyone to vote for it, even in England, but rather to look very carefully at the actual individual candidates standing and decide who deserves your support.



Trump Still Supporting the Kurds



The US Sends 5,000 trucks loaded with weapons and supplies to [the Kurds] in Northern Syria.

The only group in the region outside of Israel that actively fights Muslim radicals - and the Turks who are trying to annihilate them.

Turkey is turning into a Caliphate and it appears the president is fighting back against it - even though Turkey is a member of NATO and supposedly our ally.
