#episode5USA, EU and the G 7 Countries and Australia agrees:
To introduce
an Oil Price Cap of all purchases on Russia Oil-USD 60
Dollars per barrel, on seaborn Oil from Russia, transported by sea
to be effective on Monday December 5 th, 2022.
27 Nations of the EU
has agreed to impose this Oil Price Cap.
Ursula von der Leyen, EUPresident Commission says :
G7 /EU and Western Countries prohibits the
Insurance Company to Cover Insurance Coverage upon
Ships/Tankers who are carrying this Crude Oil
Purchased from Russia, which Purchase Price does not :
· impose this OIL Price Cap of USD
60 Dollars,
INSTRUMENT TOOL FOR
ECONOMIC WARFARE
We observe G7,
EU, Australia, and their Western Partners are driving the
prohibitions of marine insurance coverage for vessels and cargo as an
instrument tool for economy warfare.
It is a customary business
commercial accepted practice, that Insurance Coverage is mandatory for all
Ships carrying Crude Oil around the World, to avoid and mitigate any and
all kind of Losses, Liabilities, upon the Vessel, including, tankers which are
carrying Huge Tons of Crude Oil through the Ocean International Waters
So the Western
Countries, in practice has control monopoly on the Global Shipping
Insurance Company including D'LOYD, London
All Global Shipping Insurance Company are based in
USA and Europe.
This also include
risks during war time such as occurring in Ukraine.
Without this
Insurance Coverage, the Ship carrying Crude Oil are not allowed to leave the
Sea Harbor Port.
INSURANCE COMPANY ARE PROHIBITED TO Cover Insurance
Coverage.
Ursula Von Der Leyen, says that this Oil Price Cap has 3
Aims :
1.Strengthen
the effect of EU Sanctions against Russia
2.It will further diminish Russia's Income from selling
Crude Oil.
3.Stabilizethe Global Oil Price Market
The Price Cap will allow Non-EU to
continue imports of Seaborne Russian Crude Oil, however, Insurance Company are
prohibited to Cover the Insurance Coverage upon such Ships who carried such Oil
from Russia, exceeding the Imposed Oil Cap of USD 60 Dollars.
The Western countries says that it
will stabilize the Oil Price, and it will help the developing
countries to cope with the Inflation problem
USA/G7/EU/Australia are ESCALATING ECONOMIC WARFARE
The USA,
G 7, EU and Australia are escalating the Economic Warfare
against Russia.
·RUSSIA RESPONSE
Russia
in response says that it does not want to sell the Oil to the Countries who are
imposing this Oil Price CAP.
We
will wait Russia's further reaction,
REMARKS
:
At the present
moment, we observed, from the Social Media, that India and the Peoples
Republic of China already purchased Crude Oil from Russia on a 40% discount
Price given by Russia, around USD 65 per barrel.
This was because India and the People's
Republic of Chinawas abstained during the United
Nations Voting with respect to Russia Military Troops entering
Ukraine on February 24, 2022
Based on the above prohibitions, imposed
to the Insurance Companies.
It is predicted that countries who are purchasing Crude
Oil from Russia, with the process exceeding the above USD 60 Oil Cap per barrel,
such as India and China who buys the Oil
Price of USD 65, will face
difficulties in seeking the Major Insurance Coverage from Reputable Insurance
Company outside the Major Western Insurance Companies.
We observe SignificantActions, done by certain respective Nation, or Group of Nations, to secure their energy supplies, due to the Shortage of Gas, High Prices of the Gas and Oil, Food and Fertilizer Shortage, High Inflation, Extreme Global Change, which was the direct impact of the Russian - Ukrainian War Crisis) attaching it to the Geopolitics issues.
USA UNILITERAL ANNOUNCES RELEASE 50 MILLION BARRELS OF OIL FROM THE STRATEGIC RESERVE TO LOWER PRICES FOR AMERICANS.
JOE BIDEN onNovember23,2021, had announced that the Department of Energy will make available releases of50 million barrels of Oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to lower the prices for Americans.
It is indicated that within the Internal Politics aspect in USA, Joe Bidenwantedto secureits electability fortheMidtermElections as well as the 2024 Elections in theSenate- House of Representatives as well as the Presidential Elections 2024 in the United States.
This Uniliteral action by the USA, had great impact to the Opec Oil Producers Especially Saudi Arabia, whose State's Budget revenue depends on the selling of its respective Oil Production.
In response Saudi Arabia led Oil Cartel OPEC's announcement on October 5th, 2022, thatit was cutting 2 (Two) million barrels per day, whichdrive up the oil price just a month before Midterm Elections causing JOE BIDEN upset and angry.
The Democrats in Washington was accusing Russia Saudi of aligning itself with Russia.
Remarks :
So there are 2(two) Significant Actions made by USA, in releasing50million Oil from its Strategy Petroleum Strategic,andresponded by Saudi Arabia,ledcartel OpecOil Produces,whereSaudi cut 2 Million Barrels of Oil per day,whichsuch SignificantActions were both made to Secure both of its Energy Supplies.
However, sincethis Actions was made due to Shortage of the Global Oil causing Increase Price of the Oil. which emergedue theIncreasing Escalation Geo- Politics Tensions between Russia Versus NATO, EU, Western Countries led byUSA withinthe Ukraine Hemisphere. it isreally impactingthe Global Oil Price in Oil Market.
In the Mainstream Media, Joe Biden, emphasized that Saudi Arabia would bear the consequences.
GERMANY FLOATING LNG TERMINAL.

THE FIRST JETTY COMPLETED IN NORTHERN GERMANY - Wilhelmshaven.
The first jetty for arrival of LNG has been completed in Northern Germany Wilhelmshaven, with first delivery set to arrive in Mid-January 2023.
JETTY ALLOWS MOORING OF THE FIRST COMPLETED FRSU
The Jetty will allow the mooring of a special ship - a floating storage and regasification Unit ("FSRU"), which collects the LNG from the LNG Tankers and regasifies it before feeding it to the pipeline on land.
that prior to the end of 2022, the First FSRU is due to be in operation to regasify LNG, arriving from the LNG Tankers from around the world.
The First FRSU, called the Esperanza is scheduled to arrive with a full load in about a month to be unloaded.
GERMANY WORKING FOR RENTING 5 (Five) Floating LNG terminals.
The German government is working for renting 5 (Five) Floating LNG Terminals to import Liquid Natural Gas (LNG), so called Floating Storage and Regasification Units (FRSU).

It is indicated from our research on the Website, including Reuter, that the whole project is currently budgeted:
at Euro 6.56 billion up from Euro3 billion on the 2022 Budget, which figure was confirmed by the Ministry according to Reuters.
GERMAN SEEKS ALTERNATIVE LNG SOURCES
This is to seek alternative to Russian Pipeline Nord Stream, where Germany had relied for years until supplies was stopped due to the Russian and Ukrainian War Crisis.

NATO BUKHAREST SUMMIT APRIL 3RD, 2008
It goes back to NATO BUKHAREST SUMMIT APRIL 3RD, 2008– NATO's Final Declaration inviting Georgia and Ukraine to join NATO members
NEUTRAL ZONE
Putin was struggling for Ukraine to be a Neutral Zone, since Ukraine is close to the Potential Natural Gas Deposit Well owned by Russia within the Russian Territory.
NATURAL GAS PIPELINE TRANSMISSION
By History Russia was supplying its Natural Gas from its Potential Natural Gas Well to German and the West European and East European Countries Via the Nord Stream 1 Pipeline.
NORD STREAM 1 was completed and run-in operation since 2011 - 2012
Germany depends on 40% of its Natural Gas from Russia.
Other Western European Countries were also relying on 40% of its Natural Gas from Russia, except Holland, which has its own Natural Gas Resources in Groningen.
NORD STREAM 2
NORD STREAM 2 Pipeline NaturalGas was constructed, Company finance 50% - 51%, by a Joint Venture Company consisting ofGazprom(State Oil Gas Company) - Majority 51% and the remaining are owned by Western Oil Gas Private Company, Shell(Joint Venture Holland and British Joint Venture,Enim(French Private Oil Gas Company),Uniper - Wintershall(Germany Oil Gas Private Company,OMV(Austrian Private Oil Gas Company).
NATO SUMMIT BUKHAREST April 3rd, year 2008
Putin emphasizedthat the NATO Expansion from West Europe towards the EastEurope,particularly Ukraine, who was invited to be a member of NATO, in the NATO'sSUMMIT BUKHAREST HUNGARY, April 3, 2008, thrua:
NATO's FINAL Declaration :
was a "Real Direct Threat" to its National Security Interest, since Ukraine is in the Border line of the Russian Potential Natural Gas Well owned by Russia located within the Territory of Russia.
WASHINGTON ELITE POLITICS REJECTED NORD STREAM 2 Project
The Washington Elite Politics rejects and object the Construction NORD STREAM 2 Project from the very start, from the Era of Obama, Trump until Joe Biden Administration.
U.S. imposed sanctions to the Construction Companies building such NORD STREAM 2 below the Baltic Sea.
REAL CONTRADICTORY AND DILEMMA
Each and every Countries, where the Big Oil Gas Private Oil Gas Companies abovementioned, being member of the Joint Venture Company, with GazProm (Russia State Oil Company) as the Majority Shareholders,
are members of
NATO and EU, for which we are all facing a Real Contradictory and Dilemma situation, where High Tension of Geopolitics elements, among the Big Nations are highly involved.
even though "De Jure" Ukraine is not NATO Member, however "De Jure" NATO (and its Allies led by USA), assist 10,000 Ukrainian Troops Annually for 8 Years since 2014.
HEGEMONY IN THE FOSSIL FUEL ENERGY
The above Washington Elite Politics Rejection & Imposing Sanctions on the Construction of Nord Stream 2 as described above, strongly indicates that :
the Washington's Elit Politics are considering Russian Potential Natural Gas, which supplies Natural Gas to Western Europe and Eastern Europe are threatening USA Hegemony in the Fossil Fuel Energy in the Western Hemisphere of Western Europe and Eastern Europe.
CONCLUSION:
Both the USA and Russia are engaged in Highly Escalated Cold War:
where USA wanted to avoid Russia being the winner in being the Major Supplier of the Natural Gas to Western Europe and Eastern Europe.
Whereas on the other side, Russia is claiming and struggling that Ukraine to be a Neutral Zone, since the:
NATO Summit 2008,
the "Maidan Square Revolution" in the year 2014 which overthrew Pro-Russian, Ukrainian President, and
HEGEMONY USA Versus RUSSIA protecting its National Security Interest - Potential Natural Gas
Scrambling Ukraine to be a Neutral Zone
The Elite Politics in Washington are striving hard to maintain control on the Hegemony - Fossil Fuels Energy Globally in the Infrustructure Oil Gas from the Upstream to Down Stream, including the Exploration, Exploitation, Production, Refinery, transporting Via Pipeline, Transporting Ocean - Via LNG Tankers, The LNG Receiving Terminals, Storage Facilities.
On the other side, Soviet Union (USSR) does no longer exist. The remaining Eastern Europe Communist Country is Russia.
Russia has got a Potential Natural Gas Deposit - which by History supplied Western European Countries, which includes Germany who depends on 40% - 50% of its Natural Gas from Russia.
The other Western Countries are also depending on 40% of their Natural Gas from Russia, except Holland, who has got its own Natural Gas Deposit in Groningen.
SOLID EVIDENCE - SHOWN FROM COMPLETION OF NORD STREAM 2
From the completion of NORD STREAM 2completed constructed, financed 50% to 51% by members of the shareholders of this NORD STREAM 2 GAS PIPELINE on September 2021, it is aSolid Evidence as demonstrated from the members of the Joint Company fromtheWestern European Countries were involved and engaged in the construction of thisNORD STREAM 2.
As been described earlier in our previous Episode, the Members of the Joint Venture Company, called"NORD STREAM AG"who owned this NORD STREAM 2 are Gazprom (Oil Gas State Company from Russia) being Majority Shareholders 51%,
Whereas the remaining 49% shareholders were Western European Oil Gas Private Companies namely:
Shell(Joint Venture between Holland Private Oil Gas Company and British Private Oil Gas Company Engie (a French Private Oil Gas Company), Uniper - Wintershall (GermanPrivateOilCompany),OMV (Austrian private oil gas company).
The core activities include exploration, production, transport, storage, processing, marketing of hydrocarbons as well as generation and marketing of heat and electric power.
Members of this Joint Venture Company NORD STREAM AG, are also financing 50% or 51% of the Construction of this Nord Stream 2 Gas Pipeline.
To give a clear picture, there are actually:
2 (TWO) Natural Gas Pipeline :
1) Nord Stream 1 Completed 1911 - 1912.
2) NORD STREAM 2 Completed on September 2021.
OBJECTION - REJECTION FROM USA
From the very start of the NORD Stream 2 Project, USA objected and rejected this NORD STREAM 2.
U.S. imposed upon the constructionCompanies Constructingthis NORD STREAM 2. Despite of USA imposed sanctions, NORD STREAM 2 had been completed on September 2022. However, NORD STREAM 2 did not operate,sinceGermany did not issue the Certificate for operation to this NORD Stream 2,
Upon USA rejecting and objecting this NORD STREAM 2, it is strongly indicated that the Elite Politics in Washington wants to maintain its Hegemony in the Fossils Fuel Energy Infrastructure in the Western European Hemisphere.
In reality Russia is claiming thattheirNational Security Interests of their Potential Natural Gas Resources is being"Threaten" byUSA/NATO/Western Countries/EU moves on NATO Expansion andEUExpansion fromEuropean Countries tothe Eastern Europe Countries and inviting Ukraine to become member of NATOthru BUKHAREST NATO SUMMIT April 3, 2008.
