Earlier this week, news broke that the Biden Administration had tapped the Strategic Petroleum Reserve only to turn around and export 5 million barrels of oil to Europe and Asia. Now we know “China” Joe Biden sent 1 million barrels to a Chinese state-controlled gas company.
The Department of Energy claims it will “support American consumers” and combat “Putin’s price hike.” Wait, what? The Putin price hike is a lie —now they’re stacking another lie on top of it? The Energy folks even boasted about the move in a press release on Energy.gov.
“DOE Announces Sales From Strategic Petroleum Reserve to Combat Putin’s Price Hike.”
So, you’re trumpeting an oil sale (oil that Americans need) and then listing all the foreign companies that now have said oil, including Unipec —the trading arm of the China Petrochemical Corporation. According to the Washington Free Beacon, that company, which is commonly known as Sinopec, is wholly owned by the Chinese government.
According to the WFB, “The Biden administration [claimed] the Unipec sale would “support American consumers and the global economy in response to Vladimir Putin’s war of choice against Ukraine” and combat ‘Putin’s price hike.’ But as the war rages on, Unipec has continued to purchase Russian oil. In May, for example, the company ‘significantly increased the number of hired tankers to ship a key crude from eastern Russia,’ Bloomberg reported. That decision came roughly one month after Unipec said it would purchase “no more Russian oil going forward” once ‘shipments that have arrived in March and due to arrive in April’ were fulfilled.”
More lies from China. And how does Biden respond? He sells them oil —and Americans hate it.
According to a recent Gallup poll, nearly 75 percent of Americans don’t like the way this administration’s energy policy —that’s the highest in two decades.
“Of all the issues and societal aspects measured in the survey, satisfaction with energy policies has fallen the most this year,” Gallup reports. “Higher gas prices are likely the reason this sentiment has dropped 15 percentage points in the past year. Energy satisfaction had generally been stable between 2014 and 2021, before the steep decline this year. The 27% currently satisfied with energy policies is the lowest Gallup has measured in its trend.”
“We were assured Biden was releasing this oil to America so it could be refined for gasoline to drive down prices at the pump. So right off the bat, they’re just lying to the American people,” Power the Future founder Daniel Turner told the Washington Free Beacon. “What they’re saying they did and what they did are not remotely related.”
It gets worse.
“Turner also said the decision highlights the Biden family’s ‘relationship with China.’ Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, is tied to Sinopec,” WFB reports. “In 2015, a private equity firm he co-founded bought a $1.7 billion stake in Sinopec Marketing. Sinopec went on to enter negotiations to purchase Gazprom in March, one month after the Biden administration sanctioned the Russian gas giant.”
The campaign attack ads write themselves.
