Biden "Not Going To Hold Back" In Expected Tense Putin Meeting: White House | ZeroHedge

"We’re not expecting to have a huge outcome from this," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said of the summit in an interview with ABC. Psaki made it clear that zerohedge.com/political/bide…
Biden will take a confrontational approach to the meeting. "He’s going to be straightforward, he’s going to be candid, he’s not going to circle back, c’mon man," she said.
But it turns out, for Deng, could strike (and strike and strike) again. Not long after the ink dried on her divorce, word started swirling that Murdoch ended the marriage because Deng was supposedly having an affair with former British prime minister Tony Blair (a claim Blair’s
camp has denied). Rumors circulated that she had also spent nights with Alphabet chairman Eric Schmidt at the Beverly Hills Hotel (Schmidt has declined to comment on the matter in the past). It is difficult to imagine finding a fourth mate who could out-titan a media mogul, a
king of technology, and a world leader, who, combined, are worth about $23 billion. But if there’s someone you want to bet on reaching that summit, it is Deng, who is now allegedly dating Russian president Vladimir Putin, according to the gossip magazine Us Weekly. Maybe Deng,
then, is the lightning. But Us did report Deng was spotted earlier this week boarding the St. Barths–docked yacht of Russian businessman Roman Abramovich. After Putin’s election, the billionaire reportedly gifted him a $35 million yacht to add to his collection of playthings,
according to the Daily Mail. Putin is freshly single, after having confirmed his divorce from his wife of 30 years in 2014. The size of his fortune, like much about the man, is largely shrouded in mystery; the Russian president has contended he makes $100,000 a year, while a
former fund manager in Russia put his estimated net worth at $200 billion, which would make him the richest person in the world. The 58 aircraft, 700 automobiles, the palaces, the $1,500 sweat pants Putin reportedly has at his disposal could use a woman’s touch, and who better
suited than Deng, who has made a life out of giving just that to her beloveds’ expensive toys.
The president of its Israeli subsidiary is Effie Eitam. Genie Energy's Strategic advisory board is composed of: Dick Cheney since 2009 (former vice president of the United States), Rupert Murdoch (media mogul and chairman of News Corp), James Woolsey (former CIA director),
Larry Summers (former head of the US Treasury), Bill Richardson (former Governor of New Mexico, ex-ambassador to the United Nations and United States Energy Secretary), Michael Steinhardt, Jacob Rothschild, and Mary Landrieu, former United States Senator from Louisiana.
In 2015, Burisma was one of the founders of the International Forum on Energy Security for the Future and partnered the Electric Marathon.[22] In 2017, it signed a partnership agreement with the Atlantic Council to promote anti-corruption measures.

The first Electric Marathon became the symbolic restoration of the traditions of Star Race rally Tallinn – Monte Carlo,[2] that took place between 1930 and 1939. The idea of the marathon belongs to Prince Albert II of Monaco and Honorary Consul of Estonia Jüri Tamm. As a result,
the rally was reborn in new format and became the race for electric and hybrid vehicles.
The start of the first Electric Marathon was given in 2011 in Tallinn by Prince of Monaco. Marathon Oil, the company's former parent, dates back to 1887 when several small oil companies in
Ohio banded together to form The Ohio Oil Company.[10] In 1889, it was purchased by John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil. It remained a part of Standard Oil until the Standard Oil Trust was broken in 1911. Marathon Pipe Line LLC (MPL) is headquartered in Findlay, Ohio, and is a
subsidiary of MPLX LP, a diversified, growth-oriented master limited partnership formed by Marathon Petroleum Corporation (MPC) to own, operate, develop and acquire midstream energy infrastructure assets. With over 110 years in the energy business, MPL is an industry leader of
safely and reliably operating pipelines, storage tanks, and marine facilities. Commissioned in 1968, Capline Pipeline has been a critical part of America's energy infrastructure. Capline, owned by Capline Pipeline Company LLC, was originally constructed to transport crude oil
produced in the Gulf of Mexico to the Midwest. It then became the link between the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port (LOOP) and the Midwest, enabling large volumes of imported crude oil to flow north. The reversal of Capline is currently in the construction phase and is expected to be
completed in 2021. This reversal will have two distinct origination points. One will be the storage hub of Cushing, Oklahoma. Through a joint tariff with Diamond Pipeline, Capline will be able to deliver light crude oil from Cushing to the various terminals in St. James,
Louisiana. In addition, Capline will transport light or heavy crude oil from Patoka, Illinois, to St. James, Louisiana. Capline Reversal was sanctioned based on anchor shipper commitments. If others are interested in securing shipping space on this pipeline, please refer to
the Business Development contact at the bottom of this page.

Marathon Pipe Line LLC (MPL) serves as the operator of Capline.
Abramovich states in the transcript that they cannot legalise because the other party in the 50-50 joint venture (Rusal) would need to do the same, in a supposed reference to his business partner Oleg Deripaska. Besides Deripaska, references are made to several other players in
the aluminium industry at the time that would have had to "legalise" their stake. In 2015, Abramovich invested and led a $30 million round of funding with businessman OD Kobo Chairman of PIR Equities.[48][49] Other partners include several well-known people from the music
industry, among them David Guetta, Nicki Minaj, Tiësto, Avicii, will.i.am, Benny Andersson, Dave Holmes (manager of Coldplay) and others

Abramovich has invested in other startups in various fields. Among them is BrainQ, an Israeli startup which develops artificial
intelligence-powered technologies to treat neurological disorders, such as stroke, spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury.[51] Also StoreDot, founded by Doron Myersdorf, where Abramovich has invested over $30 million. Abramovich was the first person to originally
recommend to Yeltsin that Vladimir Putin be his successor as the Russian president BuzzFeed News has named "JPMorgan Chase, HSBC, Standard Chartered, Deutsche Bank, and Bank of New York Mellon" as involved in money laundering.[1] BuzzFeed News also criticizes the United States
government for not forcing the banks to stop this activity.[1] BuzzFeed and the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists have also reported that American Express, Bank of America, Bank of China, Barclays, China Investment Corporation, Citibank, Commerzbank,
Danske Bank, First Republic Bank, Société Générale, VEB.RF and Wells Fargo as being involved in the SARs.The ICIJ noted 62% of the leaked filings involved Deutsche Bank, with at least 20% involving addresses in the British Virgin Islands. Early in Rohrabacher's congressional
career in 1990 or 1991, KGB agent and deputy mayor of Saint Petersburg Vladimir Putin and two other Russians entered Rohrabacher's congressional office in Washington D.C. who subsequently became close friends according to Rohrabacher during a 2013 interview with KPCC.[57]
Rohrabacher called the Russian banker Aleksandr Torshin, a Putin ally, "sort of the conservatives' favorite Russian".[In February 2020, it was reported that in August 2017, Rohrabacher met with Julian Assange in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London to offer Assange a pardon from
President Trump if Assange can offer material supporting Seth Rich as the source of email leaks from the Democratic National Committee during 2016 and not Russians.

"So this is the end of the Romanov Dynasty, is it...", to which Mikhail Kudrin responded: "No, not yet; there is still much work to be done". According to Kudrin, when the body of the French Bulldog Ortino, "the last en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filipp_Go…
