Soros cashing in on fracking...

  ... in Poland.

San Leon Energy Plc, the natural- gas explorer backed by billionaire George Soros and Blackrock Inc., expects its Polish shale licenses to be more profitable than U.S. deposits, the company’s exploration director said.

San Leon, which became one of the leading shale gas explorers in Poland after buying Realm Energy International Corp. for $142 million last month, seeks to profit either through so-called farm-outs with a cash component or asset sales once it develops its fields and proves they can produce gas, John Buggenhagen said in an interview in Warsaw.

Its should be easy to understand that if billionaire financier George Soros is invested in natural gas in Poland, he can make more money by obstructing natural gas production in the US.  That would explain the George Soros/Sundance Festival/Josh Fox connection, might it not? 

San Leon Energy is just the kind of huge, multinational exploiter of the earth's resources that have New York's anti-energy true believers' panties in wad.   Rather that targeting Soros, however, these zombies would rather burn gasoline driving all over the Finger Lakes, fighting to raise the cost of their neighbor's heating fuel. The real class war is taking place right under our noses.

And don't forget that your tax dollars are being used to support the Polish fracking boom!

Cashing in on NY's fracking ban

On Sunday the NY Post called for the State of New York to lift its moratorium on hydraulic fracturing and let natural gas drilling proceed.  In its pro drilling editorial, the Post points out who is really benefiting from the drilling ban:

Hard-core lefties and environmental groups say the process — which is banned only in New York — contaminates groundwater.

But those claims are refuted by the official state geologist, who calls them “exaggerated” and says he’s found no evidence of such contamination in three years of study.

“This could really help us fight climate change,” said Dr. Langhorne “Taury” Smith, who works for the State Museum, in an interview with an upstate newspaper. “This is a huge gift, this shale.”

On the other hand, the controversy over the shale, he said, has been a gold mine for environmental groups — which have raised funds by alarming folks about the alleged dangers of hydrofracking.The legislative ban, which was passed after lobbying by the Working Families Party and MoveOn, would’ve not only prohibited the horizontal drilling method, but also the vertical one, which has been used for decades without opposition.

MoveOn is financed by George Soros.  George Soros is invested in Brazil's state oil company, Petrobras.  And US taxpayers are lending billions of dollars to Petrobras to finance offshore drilling in Brazil (but South of 5 and 20 readers already know all that - ed).  Barry Obama is in bed with MoveOn.  And while in Brazil this weekend, President Obama took time out from vacationing and starting a war to pledge big US purchases of Petrobras oil.  

If that's not enough reason to start drinking, the Post points out an additional shady character who stands to profit from the drilling ban:

It also had the strong support of Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver.

No surprise there — as The Post first reported in January, Silver’s law firm, Weitz & Luxenberg, holds regular “forums” in gas-drilling states, searching for clients interested in suing natural-gas developers.

Bold added.  We suspect that Cuomo and the state employee unions are so desperate for cash that Andy may indeed defy the Soros/Obama/Silver gang and lift the drilling ban.  Get the popcorn ready.

Soros drives deeper into your wallet

The ever vigilant Lonely Conservative reports on Dinosaur Bar-B-Que owner and international puppetmaster George Soros' latest hedge fund.  Soros' new fund will "invest in green energy" projects, which Lonely explains is simply a mechanism for stealing more taxpayer cash:

George Soros, funder of all things progressive, is starting a “green energy” hedge fund that will profit from the policies enacted by his political beneficiaries. My, isn’t that convenient?

 And who did Soros hire to lead this band of  green gonifs? 

Soros hired Cathy Zoi to run his new hedge fund, the same Cathy Zoi who worked for the Obama administration at the same time the President and Vice President were touting her husband’s company that they showered with taxpayer dollars. Now Zoi and Soros stand to profit from the policies she helped put into place.

Someone should make copies of LC's post and hand them out in front of the Dinosaur.

Soros, Dinosaur B-B-Q, and you

Soros: “The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States.”

We've recently learned that our unelected governor, David Patterson, on his way out the door, is giving half a million of our taxpayer dollars to an art museum run by a bunch of swells in the Hamptons.  We've also discovered that one of the museum's board members, David Wassong, is a key player in George Soros' organization.  Wassong also appears to be the connection that resulted in Soros' takeover over of Syracuse's own Dinosaur Bar-B-Que.  And now DinoSoros has opened a new location in Troy, again with a generous funding assist from New York taxpayers.

DinoSoros Bar-B-Que's new Troy location

According to the Troy Record, the local Industrial Development Authority ponied up over $600,000 in subsidies to the Dino project. New York taxpayers are are transferring their hard earned cash to Soros, a multi-billionare hedge fund operator.  Who is this guy who needs our money so badly that Albany will take food off our tables to oblige?

Among causes support by Soros' billions, to name just two, were the election of Barack Obama and the passage of the recent federal takeover of our healthcare.  Jim O'Neill took a hard look at Soros in the Canada Free Press:

Is it possible to lay the global financial meltdown,  the radicalizing of the Democratic Party, and America’s moral decline, at the feet of one man?

It is indeed possible.

If George Soros isn’t the world’s preeminent “malignant messianic narcissist,” he’ll do until the real thing comes along.  Move over, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot.  There’s a new kid on the block

When we look at Soros' global reputation, it's no wonder Dinosaur founder John Stage wants to keep the DinoSoros arrangement hushed up.  In August, the Harlem World blog covered the opening of the Dino's Harlem store and contacted Stage:

Stage rues the day the news became public. Whenever the Soros name comes up, Stage says, he receives negative comments from customers and critical e-mails.

Finger Lakes taxpayers funding Soros executive's expensive hobbies

Patterson and Southampton swells dig, you pay

The Times Union reports that our  lame duck, governor-by-accident David Patterson has dished out $16 million to fund, among other activities deemed critical to every Finger Lakes taxpayer,

...chess tournaments in New York City, foreign trade offices in Chile and Australia, and to promote a New Jersey Super Bowl in four years with the National Football League...

 The money was approved the day after Paterson demanded the Legislature return to pare spending and assist in reducing a $315 million budget gap so this year's shortfall won't roll into next year's $9 billion deficit. The governor said he wants the Legislature to work with him to make cuts "to clear my conscience" that he had done whatever he could to spare the next administration a bigger budget mess.

Among the Patterson-selected recipients of our confiscated cash is the Parrish Art Museum in The Hamptons on Long Island.  Among the members of the Parrish's Board of Trustees is one David K. Wossong.  Wossong's day job is Managing Director of Soros Fund Management, which means he works for billionaire convicted felon George Soros.

Wossong also appears to be the connection that resulted in Soros' 2009 takeover of Syracuse's formerly beloved Dinosaur Bar-B-Que!  Per the Post Standard,

The Soros investment in the Dinosaur was never announced. In June 2009, at least a year after the sale, a reporter for the Albany Times Union discovered it in documents the Dino submitted to the Troy Industrial Development Authority.

We suspect Dave and his friends in the Hamptons could fund this museum without taking tax money coerced from struggling Finger Lakes families.  Patterson used some legal mumbo-jumbo to excuse this outrageous transfer of taxpayer's money, something about how he had no choice, blah, blah...  We call on Attorney General/Governor Elect Andy Cuomo to stop this crime wave, and all of the recipients to refuse to accept the money.

See the above-linked TU story for a complete list of the conspirators.  Stay tuned for more on Soros' Dinosaur takeover.
