Waxman-Markey Cap & Trade Bill…

June 3rd, 2009 · 2 Comments · Politics, Money and Markets

Thugonomics has officially arrived…

Did you just see Dominion Energy CEO Tom Farrell on CNBC
this morning?

The poor guy looked like a puppy who just got neutered. I
felt embarrassed for the guy.

Farrell was clearly afraid to answer direct questions
on live television from Joe Kernen and the co-host about
the Obama policies on Cap & Trade.

It looks like America’s CEOs learned their lessons well from
the shake down of the Chrysler bond holders…

Go with the party line, or the government will use all it’s
resources to destroy you. The Bully Pulpit, the SEC, IRS,
FCC, EPA…

We have now reached a time and place where CEO’s are afraid
to speak out publicly against government policies.

Cap & Trade was a creation of the Club of Rome roundtable
group. Cap & Trade will be like spraying economic greenshoots
with “Agent Orange.” Jobs and industry will flee the US for
China and India.

This is thugonomics at it’s worst. Socialist agendas while
those selected elites profiteer from the new public-private
partnerships.

I’ll skip debunking the science behind Cap & Trade, let’s
cut right to following the money.

Just take a look who the profiteers behind Cap & Trade are…

“Obama’s involvement in Chicago Climate Exchange–the rest of the story”

By Judi McLeod Wednesday, March 25, 2009

“Obama Years Ago Helped Fund Carbon Program He Is Now Pushing
Through Congress” is a FOXNews story by Ed Barnes.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/03/25/obama-helped-fund-carbon-scheme/

In short, “While on the board of a Chicago-based charity,
Barack Obama helped fund a carbon trading exchange that will
likely play a critical role in the cap-and-trade carbon
reduction program he is now trying to push through Congress
as president.”

The charity was the Joyce Foundation on whose board of
directors Obama served and which gave nearly $1.1 million in
two separate grants that were “instrumental in developing and
launching the privately-owned Chicago Climate Exchange, which
now calls itself “North America’s only cap and trade system
for all six greenhouse gases, with global affiliates and
projects worldwide.”

And that’s only the beginning of this tawdry tale, Mr. Barnes.

The “privately-owned” Chicago Climate Exchange is heavily
influenced by Obama cohorts Al Gore and Maurice Strong.

For years now Strong and Gore have been cashing in on that
lucrative cottage industry known as man-made global warming.

Strong is on the board of directors of the Chicago Climate
Exchange, Wikipedia-described as “the world’s first and North
America’s only legally binding greenhouse gas emission
registry reduction system for emission sources and offset
projects in North America and Brazil.”

Gore, self-proclaimed Patron Saint of the Environment, buys
his carbon off-sets from himself–the Generation Investment
Management LLP, “an independent, private, owner-managed
partnership established in 2004 with offices in London and
Washington, D.C., of which he is both chairman and founding
partner. The Generation Investment Management business has
considerable influence over the major carbon credit trading
firms that currently exist, including the Chicago Climate
Exchange.

Strong, the silent partner, is a man whose name often draws a
blank on the Washington cocktail circuit. Even though a
former Secretary General of the 1992 United Nations Conference
on Environment and Development (the much hyped Rio Earth
Summit) and Under-Secretary General of the United Nations in
the days of an Oil-for-Food beleaguered Kofi Annan, the
Canadian born Strong is little known in the United States.

That’s because he spends most of his time in China where he he
has been working to make the communist country the world’s
next superpower. The nondescript Strong, nonetheless is the
big cheese in the underworld of climate change and is one of
the main architects of the failing Kyoto Protocol.

Full credit for the expose on the business partnership of
Strong and Gore in the cap-and-trade reduction scheme should
go to the investigative acumen of the Executive Intelligence
Review (EIR).

The tawdry tale of the top two global warming gurus in the
business world goes all the way back to Earth Day, April 17,
1995 when the future author of “An Inconvenient Truth”
travelled to Fall River, Massachusetts, to deliver a green
sermon at the headquarters of Molten Metal Technology Inc.
(MMTI). MMTI was a firm that proclaimed to have invented a
process for recycling metals from waste. Gore praised the
Molten Metal firm as a pioneer in the kind of innovative
technology that can save the environment, and make money for
investors at the same time.

“Gore left a few facts out of his speech that day,” wrote
EIR. “First, the firm was run by Strong and a group of Gore
intimates, including Peter Knight, the firm’s registered
lobbyist, and Gore’s former top Senate aide.”

(Fast-forward to the present day and ask yourself why it is
that every time someone picks up another Senate rock, another
serpent comes slithering out).

“Second, the company had received more than $25 million in
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) research and development
grants, but had failed to prove that the technology worked on
a commercial scale. The company would go on to receive
another $8 million in federal taxpayers’ cash, at that point,
its only source of revenue.

“With Al Gore’s Earth Day as a Wall Street calling card,
Molten Metal’s stock value soared to $35 a share, a range it
maintained through October 1996. But along the way, DOE
scientists had balked at further funding. When in March 1996,
corporate officers concluded that the federal cash cow was
about to run dry, they took action: Between that date and
October 1996, seven corporate officers–including Maurice
strong–sold off $15.3 million in personal shares in the
company, at top market value. On Oct. 20, 1996–a Sunday–the
company issued a press release, announcing for the first time,
that DOE funding would be vastly scaled back, and reported the
bad news on a conference call with stockbrokers.

“On Monday, the stock plunged by 49%, soon landing at $5 a
share. By early 1997, furious stockholders had filed a class
action suit against the company and its directors.

Ironically, one of the class action lawyers had tangled with
Maurice strong in another insider trading case, involving a
Swiss company called AZL Resources, chaired by Strong, who was
also a lead shareholder. The AZL case closely mirrored Molten
Metal, and in the end, Strong and the other AZL partners
agreed to pay $5 million to dodge a jury verdict, when
eyewitness evidence surfaced of Strong’s role in scamming the
value of the company stock up into the stratosphere, before
selling it off.

In 1997, Strong went on to accept from Tongsun Park, who was
found guilty of illegally acting as an Iraqi agent, $1 million
from Saddam Hussein, which was invested in Cordex Petroleum
Inc., a company he owned with his son, Fred.

These are the leaders in the Man-made Global Warming Movement,
who three years later were to be funded by the man who was to
become President of the United States of America.

If we follow the time line on where Obama was during the
funding of the Chicago Climate Exchange, he was still a
professor at the University of Chicago Law School teaching
constitutional law, with his law license becoming inactive a
year later in 2002.

It may be interesting to note that the Chicago Climate
Exchange in spite of its hype, is a veritable rat’s nest of
cronyism.

The largest shareholder in the Exchange is Goldman Sachs.

Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley is its honorary chairman, The
Joyce Foundation, which funded the Exchange also funded money
for John Ayers’ Chicago School Initiatives. John is the
brother of William Ayers.

What a flap when it was discovered that the senator from
Chicago had nursed on Saul Alinsky’s milk, had his political
career launched at a coffee party held by domestic terrorist
Bill Ayers, and sat for 20 years, uncomplaining in front of
the “God-dam-America pulpit of resentment-challenged Jeremiah
Wright.

Folk were naturally outraged that the empty suit who would go
on to become TOTUS was spawned from such anti-American activism.

But the media should have been hollering, “Stop Thief!” instead.

The same Chicago Climate Exchange promoting public rip-off was
funded by Obama before he was POTUS.

Even as man-made global warming is being exposed as a money-
generating hoax, Obama is working feverishly to push the
controversial cap-and-trade carbon reduction scheme through
Congress.

Obama was never the character he created for himself in the
fairy-tale version in “Dreams of My Father”. He’s the agent
of Change and Hope for cohorts making money down at the
Chicago Climate Exchange.

The Barbarians are pushing at the gate of the Global Warming
fraud, and to borrow a line from children playing Hide and
Seek, Here they come, ready or not!

************************************************

When George H.W. Bush stood in front of the cameras and
talked about the “Thousand Points Of Light” when he
announced a New World Order, he was talking about the
Maurice Strong’s of the world. Those who wield the real
power. Those who give the Congress’ and Parliaments of
the world their policy marching orders from the various
Think Tanks, Roundtable Groups, and NGO fronts of the
globalist bankster gangsters.

We are witnessing an unprecedented, historic reshaping of
governments, culture, and economies by blunt force.

The world as we know it, will never be the same.

David Rockefeller said that millions would become cannon
fodder from that change. Bill Clinton’s former Deputy Secretary
Of State said this…

“In the 21st century, nations as we know them will be obsolete;
all states will recognize a single, global authority. National
sovereignty wasn’t such a great idea after all.”

- Strobe Talbot, President Clinton’s Deputy Secretary of State,
as quoted in Time Magazine, July 20th, l992.

That pretty much tells you everything you need to know about
George H.W. Bush’s “New World Order.”

Continue to smugly dismiss all these public comments from
the globalists as silly conspiracy theory nonsense, even
as virtually every single item of their agenda gets bum-
rushed through Congress.

Continue to focus on a DOW rally that was given to you,
and paid for by your TARP dollars, in order to keep you
distracted just long enough to ram-rod through cap & trade,
the nationalization of health care, the elimination of your
rights and liberties, and the looting of the US Treasury.

Continue to ignore their real agenda as you buy into their
carefully crafted and orchestrated “animal spirits” greenshoots
campaign… hoping that your home values will bounce back,
hoping that you’ll make back the halving of your 401K,
hoping that the exodus of jobs will stop, and hoping that
everything will return to the way it was.

Continue with your self-absorbed, self-indulgent, pseudo-
intellectual smuggness as America and the world as you know it,
is systematically dismantled, looted, and destroyed,
all in broad daylight, right under your noses.

And one day when your children, or grandchildren look you in
the eye and ask why? Why you let this happen? Why you did
nothing to stop it?

Please don’t lie to them and tell them you had no idea.

  • 2 Anastasia // Sep 2, 2009 at 4:29 pm

    This bill means higher gas prices and energy costs, it will lead to fewer coal plants and fewer jobs for our citizens. This bill will effect everyone and their wallet, and if you don’t want your wallet tapped then please go sign this letter to let congress know what you really think about the W-M bill. http://tinyurl.com/klfut8
