NATO Head: Russian Spy Agencies Are Directly Funding and Coordinating in Europe With Leftwing Anti-Fracking Groups, to Keep Europe Dependent on Russian Gas and Oil

Speaking of The Deep State -- it often turns out it's just Mother Russia in disguise.

From Financial Times (firewalled):

Russian intelligence agencies are covertly funding and working with European environmental groups to campaign against fracking and maintain EU dependence on Russian gas, the head of Nato has claimed....

"I have met allies who can report that Russia, as part of their sophisticated information and disinformation operations, engaged actively with so-called non-governmental organisations -- environmental organisations working against shale gas-- to maintain European dependence on imported Russian gas," Mr Rasmussen, former Danish prime minister, told an audience at Chatham House, the international affairs think-tank...

Since March, Europe has been slightly reconsidering its punishing rules on energy extraction, growing increasingly uncomfortable relying so much on a hostile, expansionist Russian empire for gas.

You'll notice the media never reports on things like this.

There's a reason for that.
