The greedy fingers in the Cap-and-Trade scheme: Part Two

By Suzanne Eovaldi, staff writer

Who is at the center of this decade’s old plan to cap residential air, and then trade its carbon footprints? Glenn Beck says, “Barack Obama was the one on the board of the Joyce Foundation that secured the initial funding for this project.”

Al Gore and other founders of Generation Investment Management, a London company, along with Goldman Sachs were investors in the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCEx), the Obama driven project. Incidentally, how big is the carbon footprint of Gore’s newly purchased 9 million dollar mansion in Montecito, CA? Will he split it with Tipper?
Did his purchase coincide with the profits he made when CCEx folded into ICE, the International Climate Exchange?

The now dead Carlton Bartels invented a system to trade residential carbon credits. His widow sold it to Franklin Raines, the CEO of the Fannie Mae meltdown. The day after the Democrats took control of Congress, Nov. 7, 2006, the patent was approved, according to journalist Barbara Hollingsworth.

“Fannie Mae, who is congressionally mandated to ‘make housing more affordable,’ is poised to reap billions on a system that has nothing to do with housing except for that it would make housing costs go up,” Beck says. He recently revealed Fannie Mae also holds patents on energy locking devices which would allow government bureaucrats to shut off electricity to individual homes deemed to be using too much juice.

Getting back the “key” or turn-back-on device could become a bureaucratic nightmare while our private citizens sit in the dark and return to a third world existence in what was once the world’s most developed country!

It may be interesting to note that CCEx which has merged with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) “[was] a veritable rat’s nest of cronyism.” The largest shareholder was Goldman Sachs. Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley was an honorary chairman,” according to reporter Judy McLeod.

Beck also stresses that at least six of these investors, board members and former employees of Goldman and other firms linked to CCEx now are on Obama’s advisory teams.
What is really hard to take is the inveterate guile of politicians and their advisors, who apparently have devised and planned for years to create these CCEx, style looting schemes and are now attempting to make its carbon trade tax our law.

The American people stand to lose an estimated $2,000 to $4,000 per household on this carbon trading scheme while an apparatus of green giants stand to reap huge profits on the backs of us hard working, unsuspecting citizens. Will this huge plank in Obama’s socialist agenda for the U.S. (and us) be signed into our law while we sit quietly and wait for our porch lights to go out?

The bill has now come due again. It must be paid or our freedoms will die.

Pledge your allegiance to America. Pray that God will show us how to save our nation from the Marxist wolves. Our country needs each of us now more than ever.

Did you convert a friend, co worker, or family member to conservatism yesterday? If not what did you do to defend American freedoms yesterday? What will you do today and what do you plan to do tomorrow?

Earn the name American today. Stand and fight for me as I will fight for you because there really is no one to depend on but each other.

“I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but Ican do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do. What I can do,I should do. And what I should do, by the grace of God, I will do.”
Edward Everett Hale

“.. a danger somebody who knew how to use this program could… manipulate[stock] markets.” Wall Street greed?

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

Is this the same “greedy” Wall Street Democrats ALWAYS condemn, but NOW want us to trust with Cap and Trade ?
Last Friday federal agents arrested a former Goldman Sachs employee charging him with improper access to trading information.

Why has this information been buried?

Sergey Aleynikov was taken into custody two days after Goldman Sachs informed the government he had stolen the firm’s rapid-fire, stock- and commodities-trading software in early June. Investigation reveals Aleynikov sent the program to a German web site. So far this sounds like mundane industrial espionage of little meaning for the rest of us; but there might be much more to this story.

Can we trust Wall Street with a program like this?

At Aleynikov’s bail hearing a US Attorney made a bombshell comment, “….there is a danger that somebody who knew how to use this program could use it to manipulate [stock] markets in unfair ways.”

Even with no further comment from the government this remark raises serious questions: If a person not authorized to use the program could “manipulate markets in unfair ways” why couldn’t/wouldn’t Goldman Sachs manipulate the markets for its own gain?

If this program can do these things, has Goldman Sachs been playing the markets with “tomorrow’s newspaper” under its arm?

Will the fact that Goldman Sachs has been a longtime cash cow for the Democrats (going back to the days when Jon Corzine was in charge) mean there’ll be no wider investigation of the possibilities this presents?

If so where does that leave us, the small honest investor?

The implication of the possibilities of such a program, seem to be that once again the little guys are falling prey to another big Wall Street firm.

Is this the Wall Street we are supposed to trust with “Cap and Trade?”

One of the lesser discussed reasons for killing Cap and Trade is the “Trade” part which means Wall Street will line its pockets by trading energy credits like any other commodity. The same people who have all but called these Wall Street firms “capitalistic running dogs” now want to hand them our future.

Can anyone believe Goldman Sachs had this power and didn’t use it? Can we believe Aleynikov stole this program because it was “just another program he thought would be neat to have?”

This guy wasn’t taking this chance for a simple computer program. He KNOWS what it is capable of doing. He probably ran it for them.
In today’s world we can’t relax for a minute. We are under attack from all fronts because this is the Marxists’ plan. Our enemies never sleep; we can never sleep or we will wake up as slaves of the state.

Get informed and stay informed because America needs you and me and all patriots.

Cap and Trade vote guarantees Sotomayor confirmed: Reid can’t pass both, Obama will pick her

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

There’ll be a tradeoff in the Senate: Sotomayor for Cap and Trade. Her reversal probably assures her confirmation as the lesser of two evils.

Here’s it works.

The reversal fans the stink from Sotomayor. Three hundred boxes of probably damaging new Sotomayor documents have just surfaced. The Marxist controlled media couldn’t smother the truth about this racist fraud forever.

Reid’s problem

The House Marxists voted to collectively jump off a cliff with Cap and Trade. While many voted “No” many others voted “Yes” and are now politically screwed.

Jim Inhofe sees no more than 34 “Yes” votes in the Senate. A Nevada poll is bad news for Harry Reid. His favorable numbers are below John Ensign’s at 39/34!

Obama’s fading

Obama’s January 30 point advantage on Rasmussen’s Presidential approval index is below zero today. He can’t help Reid.

Cap and Trade plus Sotomayor have Harry Reid in a bind. He doesn’t have the votes to pass this destructive bill, and she is an obvious racist fraud.

The tradeoff

Reid has two bags of crap on his hands. Neither could pass in ordinary times, but we’re not in ordinary times. He’ll have to offer Obama an “either or” and Obama will pick Sotomayor.

Why Obama won’t care
Obama’s trying one program after another to destroy America until he wins one. Each will be capable of destroying America on its own. He doesn’t have to win them all, just one or two wins will ruin us.

He’ll back away from Cap and Trade then come at us with his Health Care scheme. If that goes down, he’ll have another one. Sotomayor is the lesser of two evils. She’ll only replace another liberal justice. Cap and Trade and what is next will end America if we don’t beat them back one after another.

Now the good news

The backlash is building. Those of us who are paying attention know something good is happening. Obama and his Marxists are over reaching and providing us with opportunities. These are not election successes. They are only opportunities to win. This is why we have to get educated; get organized; teach what we have learned and do something about what we learn.

When a Republican stabs us in the back, get on the phone and make your feelings clear. When a Republican does the right thing send a note applauding it.

Plan on joining your local GOP club and traveling to wherever you are needed if your friends and family to fight for Congressional seats. If you live where a Democrat holds the seat, fight for our candidate if he has a chance. If your local candidate has no chance go to a neighboring district and work for a Republican who does have a chance.

America can still be saved, but it will take all of us pulling together to get the job done.

Today is tomorrow, there are no more tomorrows: Cap and Trade is here and it’s ugly

Get used to hearing “Shut up and get in line!”

Unless God Himself intervenes and saves us today we, the people who built America into the greatest country on earth, will become a nation of slaves.

All true Americans can shed a tear for what was lost today if the Democrats’ Cap and Tax scheme passes.

Despite the best efforts of many of us, as you read this the Waxman- Markey Marxist global warming bill will be the law of the land.

This convoluted 1201 page pile of crap will destroy the greatest economic engine in world history.

This bill has nothing to do with a “green future.” The huge taxes it will bring are designed to bend us and break us. This is nothing but a ruse to bring America under the thumb of a bunch of Marxist Democrats. The targets for reduction of so called “dangerous levels of carbon dioxide” in this bill are insane.
We use fossil fuels to run our American way of life so any drastic reduction of “harmful emissions” from this commodity can’t be met short of a general retreat to the 19th century. Make no mistake this is exactly what the Marxist Democrats want for us.
When Waxman/ Markey kicks in gasoline prices will increase at a dizzying rate. Our ability to travel will be restricted and we will be shoved from place to place until our lives are approved by our COI (nee ACORN) commissars.
Working families (not the phony Reds who use the term, but real working families) will pay an additional $3,000 a year for nothing, not a damned thing except supporting more Marxism. There may be as many as 1,145,000 jobs lost to feed this beast. Farm profits will drop nearly 30% pushing our food prices to new heights.

This essay is painful to write, and even think about. We are in an extremely dangerous situation. If ever you’ve had a reason to get educated and get involved in your own life it is now. We still don’t know the true amount of damage the election of Comrade Obama will ultimately end up crushing us with. Nevertheless, we don’t really have time sit around wringing our hands and feeling sorry for ourselves.
Resolve right here and now to do everything you can to throw these Marxist bastards out and save what will be left of America. Stay silent, do nothing and you will have to share responsibility for what is done to us by these people.
