Rattler Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) Since people are so convinced Russia influenced Trump's election, maybe they will be just as concerned about Russia influencing the fracking ban in NY State. After all, Russia stands to gain the most from NY's fracking ban. https://www.dailysignal.com/2018/04/22/the-connection-between-russia-and-2-green-groups-fighting-fracking-in-us/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWkRZMFlXRmtNVE5oTWpVNCIsInQiOiJnVmErY01WSnlScmxmUm9lOVJ4XC8rM0FCZmhrWk5WR09PbVFBdzA0S1I5bnFXZVlqV20xdWNQTGJUK0lZbDRraU9iVlpnNndZV3NEbU9aSmcyaVpWa3ZieHdOSnBBdFN2a0ZMUmpBaVNhWHlkalhKQUphYmJxRmowU1VNbGtGNmsifQ%3D%3D New Yorkers who are missing out on the natural gas revolution could be victims of Russian spy operations that fund popular environmental groups, current and former U.S. government officials and experts on Russia worry. "One way for Moscow to conceal its sponsorship of anti-fracking campaigns in New York or elsewhere in the U.S. is to move its funding indirectly and anonymously through various entities, the former CIA analyst told The Daily Signal. “I think the groups and individuals on both sides of the debate over fracking and pipelines have a tendency to just look in their own back yards, without looking at the larger geopolitical picture,” Stiles said. “If it was more widely known that anti-fracking, anti-pipeline operations may be benefitting from a foreign source of funding, this would certainly impact the debate.” The agents of influence described by Stiles range from “controlled agents” and “trusted contacts” who know they’re working for a foreign government to “manipulated sources” who have no idea that they’re doing the bidding of a foreign power."
