ZOMG Putin Russia Exxon Nord Stream 2 Rockefellers Fracking Oh My

A fun article : )

Unfortunately, cow farts and the Illuminati are mysteriously not addressed here.  But I digress.  There are, however, other some relevent bits of information threaded together in a thought-provoking opinion piece, that is a bit afield from the usual run-of-the-mill O&G news.

Moscow secretly funded US anti-fracking groups. Is it now attacking US energy companies?

Is Moscow funding climate-change activists to damage the American energy industry around the world?

In an effort to slow down US natural gas production, the Russian government backed the anti-fracking movement in the United States. Moscow even funded US anti-fracking activists.

Now, with US climate change activists working to have ExxonMobil banned from addressing the European Parliament, and as Germany builds the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia, it’s time to ask if Moscow is trying to push American energy companies out of Europe.

... 

None of this suggests that the Rockefeller family members are acting as Putin’s agents to fund energy activism in the United States. But to prosper in Putin’s hometown for 28 years, one must be careful to please the Big Man.

And so we ask the question: Is there any connection between Russian funding of the anti-fracking campaigns in the US, and the anti-ExxonMobil campaign in Europe?
