0 Exploration Permits issued since 2021

0 Importation Documents for Consignment.

0 credible Due Diligence by rig owner or logistics co.

Lands consignment without any permission or discussion with Greenland.

Multiple crimes under international and possibly Canadian Law.

1 USA “oil exploration” company

1 Canadian drilling contractor (shamefully)

1 Canadian logistics company (shamefully)

300 additional containers awaiting shipment near Montreal

4,000,000 ~ USD paid to Canadian companies.

This is NOT a rig move. After 10 years and many big triple stand rig moves in Alberta, not one of them required 300 containers, plus the rig. Golden Dome Radar station by the back door?

The oil company management looks like ex-financial and retired military types more associated with Golden Dome than black gold. We used to say companies like that couldn’t drill shit out of a rubber boot, let alone find oil.

This is a USA covert action; pure muscle memory from their actions in the 1960’s in Latin America, collapsing local governments and installing puppet regimes to allow their “legal” asset stripping. Bust it wide open and go for a full TACO.

Canada should seize and inspect all 300 containers. Anything not conforming to drilling equipment held as evidence. Charge the Canadian companies with any and all charges associated with illegally exporting and landing “equipment” on Greenland. Charge Greenland Energy as well for doing this from Canada. Equipment impounded until fines paid and permits issued. Maybe destroyed, depending…. The two Canadian companies do not have a shred of plausible deniability and should receive maximum penalties. Greenland Energy personnel PNG IN Canada.

Greenland can do as it sees fit but know we back them up to and including forcing the logistics company to retrieve said consignment and put it into quarantine with the rest. Kick them all the fuck out, including any Canadians in the mix. Stamp them all PNG. Charge and fine at your discretion.

Publicize the entire sordid affair and rub everyone’s noses in it till the gag, including the Canadian companies. Stop this bullshit and force the TACO.

Greenland needs to shut it down now, if they can. Scary.

Canada would shut down the northern border if there's any tussle in Greenland. I've heard that's bad for business, opening up a 3rd front of a World War along the biggest border in the country.

IN NOVEMBER VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT! BECAUSE IT DOES! TRUMP AND MAGA NAZIS ARE DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY TO ENRICH THEMSELVES AND THEIR CRONIES AND TAKING IT FROM THE WORKING RETIRED AND POOR! STRIPPING LAWFUL PROTECTIONS AND DOING AWAY WITH THE PROCEDURES TO REDRESS OUR VALID ISSUES! WHEN IT'S GONE IT'S GONE FOREVER!

Hmmm. Don't be surprised to find out this ball all got rolling because somebody in Greenland thought Drill Baby was a good idea. I smell a MAGA$hithole.

Don't let Trump get away with this, please.

Nice illegal drilling equipment you’ve got there. Would be a shame if something happened to it.

My first thought is also that Greenland's government should pitch those interlopers out on their ears on the grounds trump backs off in the face of actual resistance. How many law firms have you heard about him demanding concessions and free services from or he'd bar them from government buildings after one stood up to him? He was on a real roll there knocking them over until one handed their beer to a bystander. It seems like most other world leaders have figured out gold presents and flattery just whets his appetite for more of what they have... but it was suggested to me that perhaps what they are doing is borrowing the delay tactic from the trump bag. Just as Iran may at least partially be engaged in waiting until trump is gone, perhaps Greenland has decided that their best bet is to appear to be playing along while foot dragging. Meanwhile he's using up his (our!) munitions and all remnants of patience on the world stage. A safer time may well come to tell him to stuff it. I do hope in the meantime they are slipping across to pull a few spark plugs and whatever parts are hard to come by in Greenland. It doesn't hurt to stuff a mukluk in the works.

America does not want to annex Greenland. If they do, Greenland gets guns. I'm sure they'll figure out what to do with those.

Swets' testimony in committee, during the impeachment hearings next year, is gonna be lit.

"Did you know you lacked the required permits to land this equipment and begin explorative drilling?"

"Yes, Senator."

"What did President Trump say about that in your meeting?"

"Uhhhh........"

There was a gross picture of some GOP Congresschuds carving up a Greenland-shaped cake at a party. It was eerily reminiscent of the film of Hitler receiving a birthday cake that looked like Azerbaijan with a Caspian Sea of chocolate sauce.

He likely would have won the war if he had managed to seize those oil fields. But he was stopped at Stalingrad

Seems reminiscent of Teddy Roosevelt cutting the Western Hemisphere cake in half, from Milius' Wind and the Lion (1975) - https://www.instagram.com/p/CVjvCxNMMLH

Man. You got to wonder if these companies have sufficient financial resources to do exploration in a challenging environment. As far as I can tell, no international oil companies are involved in the project. A few questions that that someone should ask are - if a discovery is made how would a field be developed? If a field goes into production, what would be the market? If a market exists, what infrastructure would be needed to get the product to market.

Maybe I've seen too many horror movies, maybe I'm wishcasting, but "unwittingly releasing ancient evil spirits after drilling on sacred ground" is a situation that's NOT totally off the table.

GUESS WHAT… THERE IS NO OIL ON GREENLAND THAT CAN BE DRILLED UP. IT IS AN INVESTMENT SCAM WITH DR. PHIL AS THE CELEBRITY HOST.. Another American CON ARTIST tried a similar investment scam in B.C. with Kristi Noem in the masthead if his brochues … A couple of things .. If Greenland (or Denmark) backs down, they have TAKEN MONEY, they have not capitulated, a ‘stern warning’, can mean We’re in the middle of making a deal”, OR the story is complete bullshit. The story started out being … related to an ‘American’ oil company, now its an ,oil company connected to Trump’. Now its a “network city-State”, what the hell is that? CANADIANS in two provinces are doing dirty deals with the U.S.? Look, it is either a seal team ready to start a war in Greenland by jumpimg out crates, or it is some kind of illegal drop by an American or Trump connected oil company. Are they going to drill oil off Greenland into ships or tankers or do they already have a secret underground pipeline out of there? Is it a coup to take out Greenland leadership like Maduro? The HYPE is likely far greater than the truth. Is Greenland Energy some kind of oil stealing Ninjas? NO IT IS A CON GAME. This is exactly what Trump wants. Anyone watching Iran? DENMARK OR GREENLAND ISSUE A FUCKING STATEMENT so eveyone knows what the Hell is going on. SINCERELY FROM CANADA. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
