  I posted some days earlier a toppic about the contract between the Russian state owned energy supplier Gazprom and the CCJW

  here in The Netherlands for all the Kingdom hall's gas and electricity.

  The contract is chosen by CCJW because Gazprom is the cheapest suplier.

  With the heated debat here in Holland because of the MH17 shooting and

  the poor human rights in Russia with also JW's victims it is clear that CCJW

  has a lack of feeling the people's opinion and a lack of corporate governance.

  And it could be fun if it isn't so serious: when visiting a KH you can feel

  comfortable because the heating is working on Gazprom gas and electricity.

  Gorby, we colonials (the Netherlands was a great colonial power too) are not aware of European energy marketing, with local companies here dispensing the calories, without us knowing whether we support ISIS as we drive. but

  perhaps wt is practising "love thy enemy"? currying favours? avoiding making political statements by endorsing sanctions?

  keep warm, remember the Eurasian winters 1939-49?

  Gazprom Energy is a new player on the dutch energy market for businesses. The dutch branch (located in Den Bosch) is now active for some 3 years and has also branches in the UK , Ireland, France and Germany. The gas is not from Gazprom but delivered by GTS (Gas Transport Services formerly known as Gasunie) . GTS is an international gas trader and 100% state owned by the dutch government.

  The electricity is also not russian. They do not produce energy in western europe but buy it from europes providers a and sell it again at a more compettitive rate.

  Many companies and also our dutch governent has got deals with gazprom in russia of gazprom energy in the Netherlands. The situation with MH17, Ukraine or human rights did not influence that at all.

  Big chance you heat your home and prepare your food with russian gas too because a lot of the gas (if not most) on their network is norwegian and russian.
