“Promised Land” – It’s Fracking Paid for in Part By Arab Oil & Gas Interests

About Uber-leftist Matt Damon’s new film about the evil American oil and gas industry…Al Kakara Oil Field inthe UAE - Where they don't want competition form the US

A new film starring Matt Damon presents American oil and natural gas producers as money-grubbing villains purportedly poisoning rural American towns. It is therefore of particular note that it is financed in part by the royal family of the oil-rich United Arab Emirates. …

While left-leaning Hollywood often targets supposed environmental evildoers, Promised Landwas also produced “in association with” Image Media Abu Dhabi, a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Media, according to the preview’s list of credits. A studio spokesperson confirmed that AD Media is financing the film. The company is wholly owned by the government of the UAE.

So….Arab oil and gas interests are financial backers on a movie (Promised Land), Made by a socialist 1%er (Matt Damon), meant to suppress US energy production of oil and gas….

If it works does that count as off-shoring?  (Which by the way, is where the UAE is allowed to look for fossil fuels…and we are not.)
