Biden Is Draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to Its Lowest Level In Almost 40 Years, and Sending This Precious National Asset... to China

And other foreign countries. But China is a major recipient of oil being drained from the SPR.

More than 5 million barrels of oil that were part of a historic U.S. emergency reserves release to lower domestic fuel prices were exported to Europe and Asia last month, according to data and sources, even as U.S. gasoline and diesel prices hit record highs.
The export of crude and fuel is blunting the impact of the moves by U.S. President Joe Biden to lower record pump prices. Biden on Saturday renewed a call for gasoline suppliers to cut their prices, drawing criticism from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. read more
About 1 million barrels per day is being released from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) through October. The flow is draining the SPR, which last month fell to the lowest since 1986. U.S. crude futures are above $100 per barrel and gasoline and diesel prices above $5 a gallon in one-fifth of the nation.
...
The fourth-largest U.S. oil refiner, Phillips 66 (PSX.N), shipped about 470,000 barrels of sour crude from the Big Hill SPR storage site in Texas to Trieste, Italy, according to U.S. Customs data. Trieste is home to a pipeline that sends oil to refineries in central Europe.
Atlantic Trading & Marketing (ATMI), an arm of French oil major TotalEnergies (TTEF.PA), exported 2 cargoes of 560,000 barrels each, the data showed.
Phillips 66 declined to comment on trading activity. ATMI did not respond to a request for comment.
Cargoes of SPR crude were also headed to the Netherlands and to a Reliance (RELI.NS) refinery in India, an industry source said. A third cargo headed to China, another source said.

Via Tucker Carlson, who is calling for Biden's impeachment based on this issue alone.

PRESIDENT BIDEN: We made incredible progress on the economy from where we were a year and a half ago. We've got a long way to go because of inflation, because of the, I call it the Putin tax increase. Putin because of gasoline and all that grain he is keep him from being able to get to the market.
It's just embarrassing. It's grotesque, actually, and at this point is dangerous and no one believes a word of it because it's provably untrue and we feel, since this is a news network, a moral responsibility to prove that it's untrue. So, here we go. Months before the war in Ukraine began and somehow Vladimir Putin secretly seized control of gas prices in the United States. How did he do that? Before any of that happened, the magic happened.
Sober people, a petroleum analysis firm called GasBuddy, decided to do a simple calculation. They wanted to put rising gas prices in context. Here's what they did: math. They determined every year over year price change in gasoline prices in the United States going back to 2002, 20 years, and they found this. From November of 2020 to November of 2021, that would be roughly from Election Day to the end of Joe Biden's first year running the country, gas prices in the United States went up by more than 66%. That was the single highest year-over-year increase since 2002, which happens to be the year the government started tracking those data.
Now, this happened before Russia invaded Ukraine. Why did it happen? Super simple. Joe Biden on the campaign trail told us he was like Superman, and then he proceeded to jump off the garage. He told us he was going to end fossil fuels and because no one took him seriously, because he's senile and wasn't actually going to win, no one followed up with, "What, are you insane? How are you going to do that? And so we kept going and then he became president somehow and then he followed through on that promise.

He canceled pipelines. He terminated oil and gas leases. He rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement without explaining why we should and by the way, if the climate is such a crisis, an existential crisis, and China and India are using more fossil fuels than they did 10 years ago, and nobody says anything about it, maybe they're not really sincere about this global warming thing and then on top of all of that, Joe Biden pumped trillions more dollars into the U.S. economy, thereby devaluing the U.S. dollar and making everything, including energy, more expensive.
You know what happened. That's all true and it was done on purpose. It was done to change our energy supply from what is cheap, efficient and the source of all of our wealth to something that Biden and his donors control, the green economy that will make us poor and that is, in fact, causing famine around the world right now. So, that's what happened. As a political matter, since this is still sort of a democracy, it happened way too fast and scared the hell out of people and polls showed that. Democrats and Republicans, no matter who they voted for, were worried above all about rising energy prices because it hurt them directly every single day. And by the time Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, the Biden administration had found a scapegoat.
Maybe that's why they encouraged him to do it in the first place, which they did. So, Joe Biden started yelling, "It's Putin's price hike. Putin did it!" But it's so dumb. It's so provably untrue that no one believed it. Even people who wanted to believe it, people who voted for Biden who want windmills and solar farms, they couldn't believe it because it's absurd and in an election year, that's a huge problem. So, the administration had to do something.
That's why in late March, in an act of desperation, Biden did maybe the worst thing that he has done since becoming president and that's saying a lot. He started to sell off one of this country's most important natural resources, one of our most valuable assets. It's called the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, the SPR. It's controlled by the Department of Energy. So, what Biden could have done is produce more oil domestically, but that would have been too easy and too good for the United States and its long-term interests. Instead, he decided to do something so crazy and so dangerous that only someone who was intentionally trying to harm the United States would even consider it, but most people never even noticed. Here's his announcement, in case you missed it.
BIDEN: Today, I want to talk about one aspect of Putin's war that affects and has real effects on the American people. Putin's price hike that Americans and our allies are feeling at the pump. I know how much it hurts. Our prices are rising because of Putin's actions. There isn't enough supply and the bottom line is, if we want lower gas prices, we need to have more oil supply right now. Today, I'm authorized the release of 1 million barrels per day for the next six months, over 180 million barrels for the strategic, from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. This is a wartime bridge to increase oil supply until production ramps up later this year and it is by far the largest release of our net, our national reserve in our history.
So, you watch it and you realize really the whole point of the Joe Biden presidency is to humiliate the rest of us and think less of our own country, the place where we were born. You can just imagine Barack Obama and Susan Rice and Ron Klain, people who truly dislike the United States as currently constituted, saying, "Let's make this guy president. That'll grind it in our face, a guy who can barely talk."

So, it's hard to hear anything Joe Biden says because it's hard for him to say anything, but if you listen carefully or read a transcript, you will learn what he just said is we're releasing a million barrels per day for a total of more than 180 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which is held in caverns in a couple of states. How much is that? It's a staggering figure.
So, let's put it in context. The reserve can hold more than 700 million barrels total, but it didn't have that because Congress, by the way, as you haven't been paying attention, has been selling off our Strategic Petroleum Reserve to pay off debt. So, by the time Joe Biden arrived, there was far less than that. There was about 568 million barrels of oil in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Now, no president in American history has ordered a drawdown this large.

In 1991, the beginning of Operation Desert Storm, which was an actual war with real American soldiers involved, the U.S. government released 17 million barrels of oil as a way of assuring a stable supply of global crude. The U.S. released just 20 million barrels after Hurricane Katrina destroyed parts of the Gulf Coast where so many refineries are. But now we're releasing many times that figure from the reserve all to protect the Democratic Party from getting what it deserves in the midterm elections in November and as a result of that unbelievably reckless, in fact criminal decision, our oil reserves now at their lowest level in nearly 40 years, and they are dropping fast. None of this needed to happen. There was no reason to tap our Strategic Petroleum Reserve when we could produce the energy here and were in fact producing it until Joe Biden took office.
But at the same time, you have to be honest. Principles of supply and demand would suggest that this would work in the short term. Releasing all this oil should have lowered gas prices until the reserve ran out, which it will. You inject more petroleum into the market and prices for gas should drop, but here's the amazing thing. That's not happening. Since Joe Biden started releasing all this oil from our reserves, which he does not own, you do, we do, what has happened to gas prices? They haven't dropped. They've kept going up. Huh? In mid-June, the price of both regular unleaded and diesel critically hit all-time highs, well over five bucks a gallon nationally. How could this be? It really was a mystery. It violated the most basic rules of economics, but now, thanks to a new report in Reuters, we know why.
It turns out the oil being released isn't for us. It's going to India and China. According to Reuters, and we're quoting, "more than 5 million barrels of oil that were part of a historic U.S. emergency reserve released to lower domestic fuel prices were exported to Europe and Asia last month." The piece continues "cargo of SPR, crude (oil from our reserves) we're also headed to the Netherlands into a Reliance refinery in India, an industry source said. A third cargo (buckle your seatbelt) headed to China." To China!
So, as gas prices set records in this country, as American citizens who were born here and vote and pay taxes cannot afford to fuel their own cars, the Biden administration is selling off our emergency oil reserves to China. That's not an indictable offense? It's certainly an impeachable one and they should impeach him for that. What are they going to sell the Redwood Forest to China next? How about the water rights to the Great Lakes? That's the equivalent of what he just did.
Now, if you're keeping track, they didn't even need it. China and India already have access to very cheap oil from Russia. Why? Thanks to the Biden administration's lunatic ban on Russian oil imports for moral reasons. It was a moral victory. The people of Ukraine, remember that? Zelenskyy, he was George Washington, said George W Bush who wouldn't know George Washington if he got in the shower with him.

According to customs data, China spent $19 billion on Russia oil, gas and coal earlier this year. That's double the amount they spent over the same period last year. India spent 5 billion on Russian oil. That's up five times what they spent a year ago. So, we just made Russia a ton of money. What's why the ruble is so strong as the dollar is getting weaker. Russia's raked in $13 billion in additional revenue from India and China compared to the same period last year. Following all this?
This is how we're punishing our enemies by selling off our own most valuable assets and watching Russia and India and, my God, China get richer? Now, on top of all that cheap Russian oil, China is getting petroleum from our emergency petroleum reserves. The crude, by the way, in the SPR is the best crude we have. It's called medium sour crude. It's the easiest to process, and we're giving it away to a government whose whole goal is to displace us on the global stage and crush us.
The Chinese will be cruel masters when they run the world. They're not like us at all. By the way, that country, China, also happens to be longtime business partner of the Biden family. Now a functioning Congress would investigate this immediately. The last president was impeached for what? Having a phone call with some corrupt Ukrainian politician. But no, they can't be bothered. They're still yelping about "January 6 was an insurrection." They're trying to ban your hunting rifle. So, the White House is able to ignore the whole thing. Here's Joe Biden's glass ceiling-breaking publicist just yesterday.
REPORTER: There's a Reuters report out this morning that says that more than 5 million barrels of oil that were released from the emergency oil reserves were exported to Europe and Asia last month and some of it reportedly was actually heading to China. Is the administration aware of those reports? And, you know, does the president mind that some of this oil, that was meant to ease the pain for consumers is headed overseas?
KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: I have not seen that report. So, I would honestly have to go look into it and see what the truth is in that statement that you just laid out and see exactly what's happening. I just have not seen that report.

How can someone that dumb be that arrogant or is there actually a connection between dumbness and arrogance? Probably so. But if someone asks you in the White House briefing, "Oh, by the way, is the U.S. government selling our Strategic Petroleum Reserve to our main enemy in the middle of a gas shortage?" you probably should have an answer, or at least seem embarrassed that you don't. It's a very simple question. Why does customs data show that we are sending millions of barrels of oil to China? Huh? It's been 24 hours since that briefing. We still don't have an answer and of course, that tells you what's really going on here.
This is not a mistake. It's intentional. As if to make that as obvious as possible, over the weekend, Joe Biden's communications staff tweeted this out under his name: "My message to the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is simple: this is a time of war and global peril. Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you're paying for the product and do it now." What is it like nationalizing the gas stations?
So, he's attacking small businesses in the United States. Running a gas station is not a profitable gig. It's not like running Apple or being a private equity baron or doing any of the things that Joe Biden's donors do. It's not like being Nancy Pelosi who somehow got super rich. How did that happen? No, it's a small business. So, he's blaming them as he sells our national assets to our enemies. So, no one with a basic understanding of economics can pretend to justify what that tweet says. It's just too stupid. Even CNN wouldn't swallow it. Watch.

HOST: Christine, it's like there's a bad smell in the room and the president is just pointing to the dog.
CHRISTINE ROMANS: Yeah. I mean, look, this is a real problem for the White House because people put gas in their car all the time and they're feeling, feeling this pain. They say there's so many factors at play. It's not like you can just lower the price of gas, you know, with waving a magic wand and the president was talking about the people who sell the gas. The 145,000 gas stations are independently owned. They're small businesses, essentially, and they have higher margins on their candy bars that they sell than they do on their gas.
Well, exactly and that's literally true. They make more than a Snickers bar on a percentage basis than they do from a gallon of diesel fuel, but we may be blaming the wrong people here. Karine Jean-Pierre, please. She has no idea what's actually going on. She just reads from the binder, barely read whatever. They have to workshop sound bites like "Putin's price hike." All right.
They're not making any decisions. The people who are making decisions are former Obama staffers like Brian Deese. He runs the National Economic Council. He's Joe Biden's top economic adviser. You can thank him. We should put his picture on the screen more often. On Thursday, he told us accidentally, maybe what's actually going on, why the Biden administration is deliberately sabotaging the United States by crushing our energy supply for the benefit of China. Watch this.

VICTOR BLACKWELL, CNN: Well, what do you say to those families who say, "Listen, we can't afford to pay $4.85 a gallon for months, if not years. This is just not sustainable."
BIDEN ADVISOR BRIAN DEESE: Well, what I heard from the president today was a clear articulation of the stakes. This is about the future of the liberal world order and we have to stand firm.
Yeah. We've got to stand firm. The liberal world order. How's that working for you, by the way? Is there anybody who is happier because of it except for people like that? No. But they don't care because you will own nothing and be happy. What they didn't tell you was that China will own everything, including our oil supply. Wait till they come from the Great Lakes.

36 I'm not all that versed on the strategic oil preserve's workings. I would presume it was our taxpayer money that buys the oil and pumps it into the ground for our safety stock. So I presume when it is pumped back out of the ground, it is put on the market to be purchased by an oil company so it can be refined, etc.

So is it the US Govt. that is selling it to other countries, or the oil company? If the US Govt. is selling it to other countries, where are the proceeds going? Wait, never mind - into someone's back pocket.

The figure below shows the percentage changes in USDA production and price forecasts for 2023, compared with 2022.

Among the main red meat proteins, beef production is forecast to decrease (-7.0 percent), and cattle prices are expected to increase (+9.4 percent).

These changes are driven by tighter cattle supplies as the cattle herd contracts in response to the drought that negatively impacted pasture and forage areas over the past several years.

57 Oil stolen from the American people and peddled to their enemies is the highest form of patriotism or something.

This is why we need to nationalize the entire country's energy industry so that this outright treason is no longer a crime.

The SPR, used the way it has been since its inception is nothing more than market manipulation. Usually people go to jail for this level of collusion and corruption.

Not anymore!

117 "What's why the ruble is so strong as the dollar is getting weaker."

not really ... USD is staying strong against most currencies, and that harms our trade balance. USD is fundamentally weak, but our military and reserve currency status means BigGov can keep robbing us blind via QE and massive spending (which is mostly graft and handouts to the leftist causes).

The ruble has bounced of its lows, and maybe goes higher, idk. But USD is strong ... other countries protect their trade by lowering their currency value (making it cheaper to export, more expensive to import).

Hs anyone connected the selling of oil reserves to the reports of over 40,000 Guard and Reserve Army being discharged this week due to being non-vaccinated?

So they have to force him out. Then they can sell their cheat on how people didn't like Biden, but they do prefer anyone to Trump.

They will need the GOPe to play along. The monied interest have to tread carefully here. Expect Mitt Romney to play a big part in serving his country as a compromise VP candidate. The question is will the left go along with it all.

232 They have blown the trumpet and made everything ready, but no one is going to the battle, for My wrath is against all their multitude. The sword is outside and the plague and the famine are within. He who is in the field will die by the sword; famine and the plague will also consume those in the city. Even when their survivors escape, they will be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, each over his own iniquity.
All hands will hang limp and all knees will become like water. They will gird themselves with sackcloth and shuddering will overwhelm them; and shame will be on all faces and baldness on all their heads.

So we got that to look forward to

First time I looked, on phone, the quoted story had the perfect essence of press distortion - about the SPR exports "blunting Biden's moves to lower gas prices" (from memory).

Which moves? The only moves to lower gas prices would be to to reverse all the idiotic policies adopted since 1/21, as well as convince the energy sector that the idiocy wasn't coming back any time soon. And even then, it would take some time.

This is absolutely typical of press distortion, and also probably perfectly reflects a populace that is largely ignorant, and absolutely cannot think critically.

I fear even that wouldn't work. Once bitten, twice shy. The environment will need be made even more conducive to production than it was before the Junta got its hands on things, and their promises are worth dick all. The bigger players who can weather the storm better will likely sit out and not do much until they see how the smaller, more desperate players fare and if the Junta keeps its word.

But retaining the insane oil policy and having Granholm going around talking about how it's all over in 2030 anyway is accomplishing neither goal.

289 I've been thinking this for a while but it would have been better if we'd fought a war and been defeated and had enemy troops patrolling our streets. The policies put in place by the occupying power would be the same we're living under now, but the key difference is that the people would be united in their hatred of the occupying power and its troops. It's their troops who have have to be afraid and checking behind their backs all the time.

Of course there would be some collaborators and traitors among us but those people would be known - and hated - and would have to move very stealthily to commit their treason. And once we overthrew the occupying power, those traitors would get the reckoning they so richly deserve.

What we have now is intolerable.

301 Utterly hopeless efforts to utilize an impeachment process that's been rendered utterly frivolous are pretty silly. But probably with no worse prospects than most other things that might be done.

Japanese forces did not have the time, numbers, or capability to meaningfully damage infrastructure at Pearl Harbor, oil or other. And this ignores Nagumo's quite prudent paranoia about the unknown location of the US carriers, and his force's need to repeat their tough transit of the north Pacific, with refueling - hence the desire to skedaddle.

Repairing/restoring infrastructure damage that could have been inflicted, if that had been an objective, would not have materially altered timelines or course of the early war. See Zimm, "Attack on Pearl Harbor: Combat, Strategy, Myths, Deceptions".

There is an aluminum plant in Kentucky that is closing down this month. Could be next month. This plant is the ONLY ONE IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE (I am told) that creates aluminum pure enough to be used in the high tension electrical wires, which transports electricity across the nation.
Why are they closing?
High energy prices. Takes a LOT of electricity to smelt and process. They're done.

Previous company was founded on a new type of product that we pretty much pioneered. We made a pointed decision not to go to China because we didn't want our stuff ripped off.

Couple years after we entered the market I went to a trade show and walked by a booth sponsored by the Chinese government to show off Chinese technology and sitting right in the middle of the booth was our product.

I've been rethinking the Ukraine War myself, and I've come to the conclusion that Chi-Nah is the big winner here, no matter whether Russia wins the war on the ground or not. Either way, it ends with Russia being a satrap to Chi-Nah, the only question is in how long it'll take. The ChiComs get easy access to Siberian oil/gas, Russian weapons design expertise (most Chinese weapons are Russian knockoffs anyway, even the most recent stuff) and all at a discount without ruffling feathers in the West.

(which isn't that unusual in long grinding wars) None of the destroyed places in Ukraine will be built back by either side, no matter who "wins".

________________

The "liberal world order" is the same as the new world order, or NWO, that we've talked about here for a while now. The left wants all its wet dreams enabled: "green" energy (by companies the left owns and profits from), no speech allowed except that approved by the left, no borders (at least in first-world, western nations), the entire globe run by a cabal of leftist "elites" who dictate how the rest of us must live, etc.

What they find intolerable is a world in which the U.S. is a superpower that controls its own borders, where free speech is allowed, fossil fuels are used, and people get to elect their own leaders in fair elections.

One thing that I've noticed lately is that the Uke propaganda videos of Russian tanks being killed by NLAW/Javelin missiles have been largely replaced by propaganda videos of Uke artillery hitting Russian positions.

No, it doesn't, because it's ultimately in opposition to that condition. Red China needs a robust foreign market. They want that market to be captive, to be sure, but they need that market because their internal demand is grossly inadequate to consume its own industrial output. More to the point, China desperately needs to maintain imports in three critical areas: food, energy and microchips. Even if they didn't care about the export market (and they might not, since they have others), they definitely care about food and energy and nothing that is going on is good for stability - or availability - in those areas.

China wanted Joe, and they got him - but I suspect they have a bit of buyer's remorse at this point. They wanted a pliable US government that would do what they were told. They short of got that, but the government is also insane and unchecked and fucking a lot of very important things up.

438 Russian operation has a been a s**t-show from the outset, and it's still far from clear that initial operations such as the botched airborne ones near Kiev or the bumbling ground offensives in the same direction were part of a coherent plan beyond "assume quick political collapse". The 3 different regional axes of attack weren't even under one unified command until fairly recently, which is nuts.

On the retail level the Russian performance has been very poor, only part of which is explained by the fact that their new ground forces were not being built for offense, but for flexible defense (with small formations combined in different fashion for varying kinds of missions).

Russia will probably not get its primary objective, which is a neutral/non-NATO/something equivalent Ukraine. That went out the window when the quick hit/political collapse "strategy" failed. Crimea was secured already, though hanging on to parts of Kherson oblast to the north might appeal to Moscow to cement that situation further. Russia must secure (to include establish an artillery-range-sized buffer) for Donetsk and Lugansk breakaway republics, political imperative with widespread popular support.

My guess is the "United States" provoked the war for reasons that have little to do with the Ukraine and everything to do with reordering the world economy to benefit insiders. There was too much certainty an invasion was about to happen, which indicates a trigger was pulled. The help in positions of power in D.C. got to grift a lot off the "aid packages," of course.

My guess is you are 100% correct.

Putin has been warning NATO since the NATO summit in Bucharest in 2008 that if we kept screwing around and expanding eastward into Georgia and Ukraine specifically there would be war.

After Bucharest overtures were made to Georgia about joining NATO and Putin invaded and still holds territory to this day. Putin was pissed about the color revolution we ran in Ukraine in 2014 and that sparked troops on the Ukraine border and unrest in the Donbas that went on for years. And then mush brain Biden and his clown administration made noises about Ukraine being invited to join NATO and here we are.

A war of choice. Our choice.

495 A medium-sized refinery will run around 180,000 barrels of oil every day. Some of those overseas shipments aren't going to be enough to keep them running.

All oil is not the same. Many refineries can't handle "sour" crude. At least that spreads things out.

Typically, the complexity rating of US refineries is several points higher than in the rest of the world (India has one, I think, that's really good; the largest single one in Russia is above average, and there's one new one in Africa). For the most part, refining product away from the US is kind of wasteful.

524 Obviously "taking the whole thing" was never a Russian objective, unless one means secure a change of govt./change of policy in Kiev, WRT NATO membership/de facto creeping military integration with NATO.

The Russian terms in the negotiations the first few weeks were unsurprising and reflected Moscow's position for years and years. They didn't include Ukraine being taken over by Russia, or anything like it.

Moscow will have to settle for the burden of Donetsk and Lugansk (burden because of the nasty intractable situation similar to Israeli kibbutzim in the north during the late 60s/early 70s, unending intermittent bombardment). But it's something widely supported by Russians.

Several children were killed by Ukrainian shelling of Donetsk 2 nights ago. Russian radio was ablaze with the subject. Those two breakaway areas are non-negotiable.

But a neutral Ukraine is unlikely.

"Our" is a bit broad but, yes. A tiny fringe made bank and most of us have been or will be plunged into poverty.

I think the number of ethnic Russians in the east who were killed by Ukrainians at the direction of the IC/DoD had exceeded 14,000 by most accounts prior to the invasion, and started to escalate in the weeks prior. As you pointed out, there started to be weirdly overt declarations Ukraine would join NATO, and Zelensky himself asked that nukes be returned there.

Obviously elements here wanted China to benefit but I've yet to work the mechanics of that one through in my mind. These types also are batshit crazy so maybe they thought the Chinese would play along or stay on the sidelines? Still trying to disentangle that aspect but China is the big winner, America the big loser, and Russia ends up with a big hunk of the most corrupt and backward country in Europe.

553 Re-energizing the southern front to take Odessa would take some doing. Russian ops in the east are already heavily constrained by resource problems. And the Ukes have wisely committed big resources to the line in the south.

Who knows. I don't think Moscow has the means to go for a second attempt at a Big Win (= neutralized Ukraine). That would be the reason for trying to take Odessa, now.

The openness and vehemence of the criticism of Russian military command and operations one sees in some Russian media is really something.
