The Former VP is the Chief Profiteer Behind the Swindle
(from the June 2008 edition of BayouVixen E-Magazine):
The biggest issue across the American political landscape this election cycle has become the debate over the environment – in particular, man-created global warming. The political left in particular has found its cause celebre and feels vindication for years and years of attacking American industry for its wasteful, environment-damaging ways.
But environmentalists have been screaming at the top of their lungs for years that we need to do something to “save the planet,” and the general public has proven to be less than interested – until now.
Why? Follow the money.
Man-made global warming is a hoax, cooked up by a number of large corporations with huge investments in creating new “green technology” – and the publicity campaign funding the scare is being funded by an investment group which includes former Vice President Al Gore. The companies and Gore stand to make billions of dollars by further wrecking the industrial capacity of the United States through restrictive regulations while more and more major manufacturers move overseas and more Americans lose their jobs.
Gore’s concept of “carbon trading” – rationing and taxing how much gas you use, how much power you use, even how often you barbecue in the backyard – is part of a huge swindle designed by a London-based network of swindlers through the Chicago Climate Exchange in 2003. According to a March 30, 2007 article in Executive Intelligence Review by Richard Freeman and Marcia Berry Baker, the same London-based cartel drove the skyrocketing of commodities prices in 2003-2006 which we are now feeling today as $150 barrels of oil and global shortages of foodstuffs like rice and corn.
“But why have neither Republicans nor Democrats challenged Gore on this?,” Freeman and Baker ask. “And why have they conspicuously refrained from confronting Sir Nicholas Stern—of the 2006 “Stern Review” on global warming, British Environment Minister David Miliband, and the other British “experts” streaming into Washington, D.C. in 2007, to demand U.S. “economic response” to climate change? Political amnesia. Elected officials are tightly locked in the grip of the Synarchist gamemasters—the Felix Rohatyn wing of the Democratic Party, and the George Shultz wing of the GOP—who have been in on creating this and prior swindles all along.”
How is Gore trying to profit from creating a climate change scare? Basically, he wants to make a fortune by creating a new market for a product that he is attempting to get Congress to create: “carbon offsets,” or rations. If he succeeds, Gore will be uniquely positioned to cash in.
Gore’s connection to the money-making end of the swindle is blatant – and studiously ignored by the mainstream media. He and his investment group are pouring $300 million into the effort.
“Former Vice President Al Gore has built a Green money-making machine capable of eventually generating billions of dollars for investors, including himself, but he set it up so that the average Joe can’t afford to play on Gore’s terms. And the US portion is headed up by a former Gore staffer and fund raiser who previously ran afoul of both the FEC and the DOJ, before Janet Reno jumped in and shut down an investigation during the Clinton years,” reports Dan Riehl of riehlworldview.com.
Generation Investment Management’s U.S. branch is headed by a former Gore staffer and fund-raiser, Peter S. Knight, who once was the target of investigations by the Federal Election Commission and the Department of Justice.
Tennessee’s Bill Hobbs lays it out even more: “Gore helped found Generation Investment Management, through which he and others pay for offsets. The firm invests the money in solar, wind and other projects that reduce energy consumption around the globe… Gore is chairman of the firm and, presumably, draws an income or will make money as its investments prosper. In other words, he buys his carbon offsets from himself, through a transaction designed to boost his own investments and return a profit to himself. To be blunt, Gore doesn’t buy “carbon offsets” through Generation Investment Management - he buys stocks.”
And Newsbusters.org’s Matthew Vadum makes it clear that Gore isn’t showing the public everything he plans to bring to the table: “As a politician, Gore speaks warmly of transparency. But as GIM chairman, Gore has not been forthcoming. Little is known about his shadowy firm’s finances, where it gets funding and what projects it supports.”
Adds Riehl: “If Gore’s motivation in pushing Global Warming is so altruistic, was it really necessarily for the already wealthy Gore to establish a multi-million dollar corporation in England to cash in?”
According to another independent media source, Gore is pretty good at asking Americans to limit their lifestyles while expanding his own: “Gore, whose film warning of a coming cataclysm due to man-made “global warming” won two Oscars, has a mansion in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville that consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, according to the Tennessee Center for Policy Research, citing data from the Nashville Electric Service.
“The think tanks says since the release of Gore’s film, the former presidential candidate’s energy consumption has increased from an average of 16,200 kilowatt-hours per month in 2005, to 18,400 per month in 2006.“
Gore is definitely not the only major player in this swindle: major multinational corporations and their key officials are involved through a growing number of interconnected organizations.
According to Freeman and Baker, “Among the 85-plus members of the CCX to date are DuPont, Duquesne Light Co. (owned by Macquarie), Ford, American Electric Power, and Smithfield Foods, plus the state of New Mexico, city of Chicago and other governments. One prominent CCX participant is Green Mountain Energy, run by the Wyly family of Texas, and big moneybags for Bush in the Presidential elections; three Wyly family members each gave $10,000 to the Swift Boat “527 Committee” to slander John Kerry in 2004. Now the Wyly hedge fund, Maverick Capital, has the distinction of being the worst example of tax-evasion in the United States, by using 58 offshore trusts to hide more than $700 million in income from taxation … Approved aggregators of farmland so far are the Iowa Farm Bureau, the Kentucky Corn Growers Association, and others. The Lugar Stock Farm is a participating “Offset Provider.” Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) boasts that he was the first farmer in his state to sign up.”
