Here is a story that would have ended any other presidency in American history, and instead it will get a shrug, a Truth Social rant about the Failing New York Times, and a Fox segment about Hunter Biden’s laptop. The Financial Times and the New York Times both dropped the same bomb Friday night. A $25 billion gas export project on Alaska’s North Slope, the one that keeps coming up in Trump’s so-called peace talks with Vladimir Putin, was secretly bankrolled by Novatek, a sanctioned Russian energy giant run by Russia's richest man. The American executives running the thing found out, warned the Trump administration, and walked. The company responded by calling the whistleblower a disgruntled employee and handing the keys to a guy who used to run Goldman Sachs in Moscow.

You cannot make this up. Nobody would believe you.

The guy who quit

Joel Riddle is not a resistance lib. He is a former ExxonMobil engineer who was recruited to run Polar Train LNG, a startup planning to liquefy natural gas on the North Slope and ship it to Asia. Big, strategic, exactly the kind of project Trump loves to stand in front of and take credit for.

Riddle was told the money came from two places: Gentry Beach, a Texas financier, and an Abu Dhabi outfit called Tech Wave Industrial Projects Management, run by two Norwegians, Rajeev Lehar and Bjorn Gundersen. Gundersen used to work for Novatek. File that away.


As the project grew and the bills got bigger, Riddle went looking for the money and found out Beach had never put in a dime. Not a shareholder, not an officer, not a director. The Abu Dhabi story was a front. Novatek was providing the cash, and it was also setting the direction. FT-reviewed WhatsApp messages show Denis Solovyov, a Novatek board member, discussing financing and pushing to expedite money transfers to Polar. The Times saw texts in which Solovyov and Novatek CEO Leonid Mikhelson discussed sending up to $15 million to Tech Wave to keep it alive.

In U.S. Gas Talks With Kremlin, Hidden Financing for Alaska Project Emerges​


But it turns out that the company was not an all-American affair. The multibillion-dollar project has received secret funding from the same powerful Russian company that was to provide the technology, according to the energy executive who until last month led the U.S. firm and two others involved in company negotiations.

Joel Riddle, who was chief executive of the company, Polar LNG, until he resigned in September, said he had been misled about the sources of the start-up funding, which ostensibly came from a company in the United Arab Emirates.

“It’s not only unlawful, but it’s not in the U.S. interest to have Russian technology controlling the commercialization of Arctic gas in the North Slope,” Mr. Riddle said in a brief interview.

Russia’s intelligence have the goods on both Hunter Biden and Jared Kushner yet DC politicians refuse to prosecute. They hold a few made for TV hearings but it all goes away with the next news cycle.

Watch how they make the Pete Hegseth impeachment disappear.

How many times did you vote for genocide Joe? History will not be kind to those who supported or remained silent during all the US backed and funded genocides.

The US funded Hitler. Who do you think paid for his military?
