National Security, The Seattle Oil Rig, And Greenpeace’s Dirty Money | Somewhat Reasonable:
President Obama had it all wrong in his
commencement addressat the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut.
He warned that
climate change “deniers” endanger our national security – denying “undermines the readiness of our forces,” he said.
In fact, climate change believers are the threat to our national security, such as the recently notorious Seattle mob of
Greenpeace “kayaktivists” paddling around Puget Sound trying to stop Polar Pioneer, Shell Oil’s Arctic drilling rig, from making a layover at the Port of Seattle to gear up for Alaskan waters.
When thwarted by the Coast Guard’s 500-foot no-approach cordon, the Greenpeace canoe crowd left the harbor and took to the streets, where
they blocked suppliers’ access to the rig until city police dispersed them.
These angry picketers are the threat.
They undermine America’s share of
the Arctic Ocean’s estimated 30 percent of the world’s undiscovered natural gas and 13 percent of its oil reserves.
That fuel will move the military as well as civilians.
...Research by the Chicago-area Heartland Institute found a secret beneath Greenpeace’s anti-oil ruckus: it is funded by oil-drenched millions from investments in ExxonMobil, Chevron, PetroChina, and dozens more, ironically including shares of Royal Dutch Shell, owner of the rig docked in Seattle.
According to Foundation Search,
the top Greenpeace donor is the leftist-run David and Lucile Packard Foundation, paying them a total of $2,146,690 since 2000.
.....The list of foundations giving Greenpeace oil profits goes on and on, and Greenpeace goes on and on
hypocritically taking oil profits to undermine America’s real energy future.
This cabal could redeem itself instantly: they could just stop using any fossil fuels right now.
