natural gas

Over the course of the last four or so weeks, the media has paid quite a bit of attention to Islamic State’s lucrative trade in “stolen” crude.

Last August, Cody Murray and his father, Jim, went to investigate a pump house on Cody’s Perrin, North Texas, property when they saw water spraying from it. Built-up methane gas caused the water well to explode, sending flames 30 feet in both directions, catching Murray’s t-shirt to catch on fire and causing serious burns to his father, wife, and four-year-old daughter.

Independent researchers have indicated that these military operations as well as the illegal blockade of Gaza are in fact all about oil and gas: What is now unfolding is the integration of these adjoining gas fields including those belonging to Palestine into the orbit of Israel. (see map below).

Residents of New England and the Mid-Atlantic states will experience increased rainfall and floods if data analysis by a Penn State meteorologist and long-term projections by a fisheries biologist, with a specialty in surface water pollution, are accurate.

It's becoming obvious that the global elite believe that they can act with total impunity. They understand that the western corporate media will never question, let alone report on, the obvious conflict of interest. They no longer feel the need to disguise efforts to gobble up Ukraine’s natural resources. The rabbit hole of corruption runs deeper by the day.

Russia is not responsible for the crisis in Ukraine. The US State Department engineered the fascist-backed coup that toppled Ukraine’s democratically-elected president Viktor Yanukovych and replaced him with the American puppet Arseniy Yatsenyuk, a former banker. Hacked phone calls reveal the critical role that Washington played in orchestrating the putsch and selecting the coup’s leaders.

VNN Editor’s Note: Western and especially the American mass media never gives objective coverage of events in Russia and never give an unbiased account of the aims or basis of Russia’s domestic and foreign policy. They “control” or “censor” what the public read.
