SAN DIEGO.  In another radical move – Biden is quietly selling off strategic emergency fuel to Asia, continuing his war on America’s energy. It started with Biden’s immediate shutdown of the Keystone XL pipeline. Then he halts new gas, oil, and coal leases on federal lands. In a mind-numbing turn-about he makes energy deals with a known adversary who crashed global economies with the made-in-China virus COVID 19. The red communist regime in return builds a military arsenal faster than you can launch a missile. 

As Americans pay rising costs at the fuel pumps, reality looms of dipping into back-up crude reserves. Oh no, there may be shortages there due to supplies already exported away.

“During the virtual meeting between Biden and Xi Jinping, the two men allegedly discussed releasing oil from both countries’ petroleum reserves but made no mention of the sales to Asia that already took place,” says American Thinker.

China is the world’s second-leading oil consumer.

“About 1.6 million barrels of crude from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) — a monthly record — was shipped out in October, according to data from market intelligence firm Kpler. Three cargoes were loaded onto a supertanker in the U.S. Gulf Coast and are headed to Asia,” reports Bloomberg Quint.

“Given the ongoing pace of the current SPR release — 12 million barrels in the last two months and the biggest weekly release so far last week at 3.1 million barrels — it’s fair to assume more SPR barrels are going to leave U.S. shores in the weeks ahead,” said Matt Smith, an oil analyst at Kpler.

Petroleum is “Black Gold.” Crude oil is considered to be the “mother of all commodities.” It’s used to manufacture pharmaceuticals, plastics, gasoline, synthetic fabrics, etc. Petroleum or oil lays claim to being the world’s leading source of energy since the 1950s, according to BYJUs.com

China is a danger, not to be coddled or catered to over American citizens.

“China’s military constructed mockups in the shape of a US Navy aircraft carrier and US warships, possibly for target practice, according to Maxar satellite images reviewed by the independent United States Naval Institute (USNI),” reports CNN.

Already the world’s largest fighting force at 2.2 million troops, China pours resources into building its nuclear arsenals.  It’s testing hypersonic missiles and building new silos. The Pentagon predicts the ambitious adversary who seeks world dominance could have 1,000 nuclear warheads by year 2030. 

China sees no limits in the South China Sea. The CCP has no regrets flexing its muscle at Taiwan, possessing a range of military options for a full-scale invasion. 

China holds 24% of global energy consumption, making it the largest energy consumer in the world.  An expanded military creates a voracious appetite for fuel.

Why does Biden continue to favor China?

The Biden family owns a history of using their government positions to profit personally.

Favoring the Asian nation means disfavoring Americans like Wally Izzard.

“Higher prices for other building materials, along with supply shortages, are making it harder for Wally Izzard, a union roofer, to land jobs. The Columbia, Missouri, resident  worked only sporadically since the end of the summer.

At the same time, gas prices shot up, so he’s cut back on nonessential travel. He doesn’t know the next time he’ll make the 10-hour drive to see family in Colorado.

Izzard, 42, filled up his 2017 Hyundai Sonata this week and was surprised to see it cost $40, even though he’d still had a quarter tank of gas.” (WMUR9.com)

Gas pump woes are not the only energy crisis.

Biden blames Russia and OPEC for soaring fuel costs and shortages that cause us to cringe with every gallon our cars guzzle. 

But it doesn’t end there. Mismanagement of America’s energy effects all things critical to our economy. Our military and defense depend greatly on fuel, too.

It wasn’t that long ago Biden handed over Afghanistan’s mineral wealth to China, leaving the country up for grabs. Afghanistan has some of the world’s largest deposits of lithium, estimated to be worth between $1 trillion and $3 trillion, reports Newsweek. Lithium is essential for electric car batteries. There is no alternative for it. No green scene exists on the roads without lithium. Therefore, we depend on petroleum.

The Biden paradox.

The Bidens can’t look in the mirror without seeing duplicity. This is especially true when it comes to energy.

Hunter Biden took a seat on the board of Burisma, a corrupt Ukrainian energy company while dad, then-Vice President, oversaw the fight against Ukrainian corruption. 

A whopping $4m filled both Hunter and partner Devon Archer’s coffers from Burisma.  A river of greenbacks kept flowing. Biden received a $3.5 million wire transfer from Elena Baturina, when her plastics company, Inteko, received a series of Moscow municipal contracts while her husband was mayor.

The shady financial transactions fell under a Senate probe…but fizzled out. Allowing younger Biden to ‘get off’ making millions by selling influence, with the “Big Guy” getting his cut.

Yet the Bidens aren’t the only official Whitehouse occupants on the receiving end of back- end energy collusions.

The Rosatom back door energy sell off.

Uranium powers commercial nuclear reactors producing electricity. Nuclear isotopes serve medical, industrial, and defense purposes around the world. 

In 2018, The Hill published a report about the FBI’s secret 37 pages of memos about the Clinton’s Uranium One deal. (FBI’s 37 secret pages of memos about Russia, Clintons and Uranium One)

“William Douglas Campbell [an American businessman], managed to burrow his way inside Russian President Vladimir Putin’s nuclear giant, Rosatom, in 2009 posing as a consultant while working as an FBI informant,” says The Hill, adding,

“Campbell gathered extensive evidence for his FBI counterintelligence handlers by early 2010 that Rosatom’s main executive in the United States, Vadim Mikerin, orchestrated a racketeering plot. [The plot] involved kickbacks, bribes and extortion that corrupted the main uranium trucking company in the United States. That is a serious national security compromise by any measure.”

It all leads to danger on different fronts.

Russia’s long range nukes can now hit Japan or even Hawaii. Maxar Technologies captured satellite photos this year of the Russian base build up in the arctic. Reckless Russia proves strategic might blowing up satellites.  As a result, space is littered with 1500 large and hundreds of thousands of small pieces of debris. These lethal projectiles hurl around the globe at 17,000 mph. While that threatens people in outer space…

Days ago, Russia flew nuclear capable bombers over Belarus. Russian military buildup in the Black Sea sends disturbing signals. 

Obama and Hillary Clinton provided Russia a path to nuclear dominance, by loading up Rosatom with U.S. uranium. The industrial centrifuge technology in Russia has been under development for over 60 years. The history of Russia speaks for itself. Russian czars acquired nicknames from “Terrible” to “Bloodstained” over the course of history.

Joseph Stalin, the “Man of Steel” said, “I trust no-one, not even myself.”  Americans apparently have little to trust when it comes to their precious energy resources.

Uranium One led to private profit from US energy reserves.

“The evidence was compiled as Secretary Clinton courted Russia for better relations, as her husband former President Clinton collected a $500,000 speech payday in Moscow, and as the Obama administration approved the sale of a U.S. mining company, Uranium One, to Rosatom,” says The Hill.  Moscow’s deal with Uranium One violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, FBI and court documents show. 

American political consultant and writer Peter Schweizer along with a 2015 New York Times exposé uncovered secret liaisons that became a dark infamy. When our own government “turned over a large swath of America’s untapped uranium deposits to Russia.”

The New York Times in 2015 confirmed that yellow cake was being exported by Uranium One out of the country, says Schweizer on Fox News in 2017.

Investigative reporter John Solomon opened up the Uranium One scandal,

“They [FBI] also obtained an eyewitness account — backed by documents — indicating Russian nuclear officials had routed millions of dollars to the U.S. designed to benefit former President Bill Clinton’s charitable foundation during the time Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served on a government body that provided a favorable decision to Moscow, sources told The Hill.”

Government officials guzzle power and don’t back down.

Citizens of this country continue to trek the road of recovery from economic meltdown. COVID interrupted supply chains everywhere. This created a backlog of production hampered by the high cost of fuel to deliver goods and services.

Elected officials step too far selling off our energy reserves to nuclear adversaries. They get away with crimes of negative national impact far too much. As a result, Democrats and partisan allies burn a legacy of helping themselves first…and America last. Anything goes to make a buck. Complacency fuels more corruption. It’s time to hold on to what is ours.
