Creston News: Liberal Elites and Banning Christmas, ‘Tis the Season

Rev. Kevin Gillespie filled his regular appointment at the Burning Springs M. E. Church.

Kathleen Cervone’s sister Linda who lives up in Ohio is not doing well at all.

Some Creston folks attended the Thanksgiving meal for the residents of the long term care facility at Minnie Hamilton. Other Creston residents were consulting with medical professionals, some got good reports and others, likely not so good.

Robert “Senator” Douglas, age 93 passed away.  He was one of the lead attorneys in the Garrison Tawney lawsuit that showed/proved that Columbia/ Chesapeake had shorted W. Va. citizens $hundreds of millions in royalties and likewise shorted the state and the various counties.  He was noted for his long time civic involvement.

Dr. Peter McCullough reported that those who took the vax, almost everyone, now has had a change in how the heart works.  Such is not a good thing.

Apparently, some jurisdictions tried to ban Christmas decorations that had a religious context.  Apparently some folks forgot the reason for the season.

Some of the liberal elites have been promoting those who hate America, its founding and the prosperity and abundance that hard work and God’s grace has blessed the country.  Now these self loathing folks are supporting the terrorists that want to eliminate Israel and western civilization.  Now instead of worrying about “micro aggressions” there is a danger of terror attacks in the homeland.  The Sunday School lesson was from Amos, Chapter 5 which talked about those who loved evil, opposed those who wanted to follow God’s word and all the problems caused by crooked judges. Certainly was apropos with several national examples.

Kay Blankenship Lanier, age 85, passed away.  She was the daughter of Dorr & Maxine “Toots” Blankenship and was born in the Marlin Park homestead.  Her brother lived & farmed on Chestnut Run after retiring from the US Army.  Kay was an RN & nurse practitioner who worked in hospitals in W. Va., Ohio, Fort Bragg & Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The Wirt County Farm Bureau meeting was a presentation by the W. Va. Dept. of Agriculture on what were called gypsy moths but now in a PC world are called something else.  There is a planned control project in the spring over in the Palestine section.

Gov. Justice, the fellow that the uniparty wants to replace Broadway Joe in the US Senate was to have court hearings in Virginia over his extensive debts but the hearing was postponed until December 11.  It was said he countersued one bank for $1 billion — talk about owing big time and that does not include the Russian oligarch.

The road was hot Sunday with trucks from Ohio pulling trailers with side by sides to go deer hunting.  It is that annual madness known as firearms deer season.

Those who follow the “global warming” hoax indicate that there might be “an Enron moment” soon when the entire farce “blows up”.  To be “net zero” 6,000 commonly used products would have to cease to exist such as asphalt [black top], fertilizers, cosmetics, plastics, synthetic rubber [like in tires], medical devices, cell phones, medicines, etc.  Some remember when Enron went “down” because the Bush administration cut off their government funding which under Bill & Hillary involved several hundred projects world wide.  Locally, Enron was the purchaser of natural gas and their local assets were “overlooked” by the bankruptcy folks.  To start with Enron was called Belco and now is known as EOG Resources [Enron Oil & Gas].  The company has taken  Permian basin technology and has been able to recover crude oil from the oil window of the Utica formation which has reserves in the billions of barrels.  Taxpayers have taken it on the chin funding global warming schemes that enrichened a few such as Solyndra for $535 million, Abund Solar $400 million, Calisola $280 billion, Fisker Auto $193 million& A123 Systems for $132 million.

For those who said that carbon taxes would be minimal the new rate is $13.80/ton of carbon dioxide.  The intent is to shut down coal and gas fired power plants.  As they say, “Let ’em freeze in the dark.”

A real analysis of how much a “fillup” of an EV [electric vehicle] costs and the actual cost is the equivalent of $17/gallon.  Presently gasolene in Parkersburg is $2.75/gallon.

Statoil Norsk Hydro, now called Equinor won a case against the State of West Virginia over severance taxes on propane, butanes, ethane and methane.  The Norwegian government was allowed a 15% safe harbor exemption for transportation and transmission costs.

It was reported that Jay Bee is looking for well tenders.

J. P. Morgan  Chase, the big investment banker has now gone woke and will no longer finance coal, oil & gas projects, at least not in America.  

Jane Engelke is visiting in New York City at Ground Zero, the 911 Museum the Empire State Building and the Rockefeller Center, a project funded by oil and gas from West Virginia.

Speaking of the Rockefellers, their CNX Gas company noted they could only pay $1,500/acre bonus for Utica “as they had to keep costs down” & another firm is offering 14% net [maybe 7% actual royalties] with binding arbitration.  These fine folks cite new West Virginia laws that protect them but harm the state’s citizens.  If the legislature represented the citizens no firm would even dare send out such outrageous leases but when “our folks” are owned it is a contest to steal more than the coal barons did a century ago.  In January folks can primary the folks that sold West Virginia out.  Plan now and act next year.

The price of local Pennsylvania grade crude is now $74.89/bbl. with condensate [super mountain high test] fetching $56.89/bbl. with Marcellus & Utica light bringing $65.89 and medium $74.89/bbl.  The NYMEX natural gas price is $3.164 and the Henry Hub is $2.929 with DTI (Mother Hope) $1.417 and TCO (Columbia $1.547.  Natural gas sold on the DTI system brought just 56.14 cents.  It is said that the firms selling natural gas to homes are asking for rate increases because of higher well head prices.  There is a fellow in Creston who has som e ocean front lots to sell in one’s choice of counties. A special deal, Just for you!
