GE To Make BILLIONS From Obama Cap and Trade Scheme

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

Breaking: O’Reilly reports that General Electric in the position to make billions from Obama’s Cap and Trade scheme and is lobbying heavily for it’s passage. Not only are they the largest wind turbine generator maker, they are going to profit heavily from the “cap and trade” credits as possibly the sole “secoindary market’ trader of these credits. Now do you understand the main stream NBC, MSNBC, CNBC fully supporting the Obama agenda, and the hate-filled, anti-conservative spew from their networks.

On tonights “The Factor”, O’Reilly reported that GE is embroiled in what perhaps could be the largest scandal in the history of this nation. Currently, GE and CEO Jeffery Immelt have spend millions in lobbying efforts to assure the passage of this dasturdly “cap and trade” proposal. And, as evidenced from the Shareholders meeting in Orlando, Immelt wasn’t in the mood for the boo’s and the questions that exposed the media bias from NBC and MSNBC (and CNBC) and their total shift from objective reporting to nothing but pure bias toward the Obama administration and their “cap and trade” scheme.

Then Janeine Garafalo did her “hit shtick” on Olberman’s show earlier in the week, it was obvious that his entire lack of response to her diatribe was in full support of GE corporate policy and Olberman was being the compliant little prick he is and following the company line. It is OBVIOUS as the nose on anyone’s face that the NBC networks, that includes MSNBC and CNBC are totally pro-Obama agenda driven, and are using the bully pulpit to promote his legislative proposals. In the back of my mind, I knew deep down that General Electric, as owner of the NBC network,  was fully supporting Obama, was instrumental in his election, and had something to gain. However, I never quiet made the connection as reported tonight.

Under the Obama plan, the “cap and trade” credits will be issued to all producers of energy. GE is the largest manufacturer of wind turbines as well as other electical generation turbines used in coal, gas, atomic, and hydroelectic electricity generation facilities. With the Obama plan, those cap and trade credits would be issued by the Federal Government, and ultimately, traded just like any stock or bond. GE has apparently, created and entire unit with the Corporation that would deal in the Secondary Market trading these credits. First, they are going to take in billions of dollars from government contracts in wind energy. Second, they perhaps are going to have exclusive control over the secondary market for these cap and trade credits. That, in effect, puts GE in the catbirds seat for all energy produced in this nation as ALL “carbon emission” energy sourced are going to be subject to these carbon schemes. This includes ANY oil related, natural gas related, gasoline, diesel, and any other manufacturer that uses any petro-based  component. That means every single plastic container, every car, every chemical fertilizer, every pesticide, every single thing you use will be subject to this scheme as it too, is made from a carbon based material.

Also reporting on this is Amy Ridenour on her National Center Blog. A brief section of her post is as follows:

It’s no wonder GE is defensive, however. As Tom’s pointed questions, and Bill O’Reilly’s comments tonight on the Glenn Beck TV show (“We’re in an area right now that makes Watergate look like a Shirley Temple movie.”) illustrate, the best that can be said about General Electric is that it is hip deep in conflict of interest. It’s running TV networks that prop up liberalism, the global warming issue and Obama, while privately lobbying hard for cap-and-trade, from which it intends to profit heavily.

There can be no doubt that GE is up to it’s neck in this scandal. It is further evidence that WE THE PEOPLE of this nation are going to have to quit sitting still and allowing this huge, overblown government from dealing with GE for any contracts awarded to them for anything. Face some realities- GE is one of the governments largest contractors and they are going to get billions and billions more under the Obama plans should they become law. This, with no words minced, is an OUTRAGE to the foundation of this nations Constitutional government. Additionally, GE employees contributed to Obama’s campaign, close to $98,000 while NBC employees contributed close to $194,000. (For reference, the McCain camp only received donations close to $55,000 from GE/NBC employees according to OpenSecrets.org) They heavily invested in his election and the desire for his climate change initiatives to become law for a very selfish reason- massive profits.

There can be no doubt that the very reason NBC, MSNBC, and the MSM is fully supporting the “settled science” on climate change is GE profit driven. They stand to make BILLIONS from the promotion of the scam on the American people and the world. It is also no wonder that they fail to report the empirical data studies that are refuting the idea that CO2 is the evil climate change culprit. It is no wonder that GE is spending the millions in lobbying efforts for support of the legislation that makes CO2 an evil thing that only they can resolve. This collusion of GE and the United States government is heading down the road as the largest scandal in American history. If you aren’t outraged now, then please, find another Socialist nation to live in. I don’t plan to go down without a fight.

Now, more than ever, your help is needed. In the upper right navigation bar is a link to a Petition for Redress of Grievances. Now is the time to sign it, and to support this grassroots effort to let Congress know that we are not happy with this massive expansion of government and that “WE THE PEOPLE” are going to take back our nation from the GE’s and the scandalous lobbying for government deals gone out of control. Unless you do something, then nothing is going to happen. Your voice matters and it’s not necessarily at the ballot box either. Our founders understood that and gave  us that right in our Bill of Rights. Don’t sit on the side lines and let this nation be over-ran by the Socialist/Statists/Fascists in power. It’s time to take action now since to do otherwise is going to cost you, your family, and your kids and grandchildren for the rest of their lives.

I wonder, since it appears that Al Gore is going to be cut out of this deal, will he NOW release new information that reports “global cooling” is NOW the greatest threat to the world? I imagine that he will very soon. Money talks in Washington as the American people are getting the screwing they elected in November. Now, once again, I told you so.

GM’s CEO Resignation Has FAR Deeper Objectives: Nationalization and Control of America

Monday, March 30th, 2009

Collectivism/Socialism/Communism is just around the corner. First it was the Financials. Now it’s the auto makers. The next thing to happen will most likely be energy producers. Geithner is calling for more authority to seize any company that negatively affects the economy. The warning from Jefferson is more appropriate today than ever in the history of this nation.

Do you fear your government? Yes, the government of the United States of America? You know, the one that is the champion of Freedom throughout the world? GM’s Wagoner being asked to resign by the Obama administration is but one of many to come. Take heart to something said long ago:

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
–Thomas Jefferson

IF you live in this nation, you had better be VERY afraid of this government of Liberals/Socialists/Collectivists. This is not just an attempt to seize governmental power, but complete control of PRIVATE BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY. Folks, we have seen this before in the world’s history and it happened throughout the entire 1920′s , 30′s, and 40′s in Italy under Mussolini and Germany under Hitler. Each of those nations seized the banks and financials of their respective nations and then the industry for their own nefarious purposes. The same thing happened with the Bolshevik revolution in Russia, the Mao revolution in China, and in any other Communist/Socialist nation you dare to mention.

Once you have control of the money, the control of the ability to manufacture goods and have the ability to seize any company under the pretense of affecting the economy, you have a tyrannical government in control of YOUR LIFE. Laugh if you want. Scoff if you want. Use the “economic crisis” as your reasoning for this happened. Think or believe it is only “temporary” in nature. Yet, when governments seize this much power and control, it is more than reluctant to give it back. History will tell us without question it never happens that way, but instead quickly becomes the all-powerful government in control of a people without any hope of ever seeing the freedom and liberty of the past.

How is our government managing to do this? By using YOUR “outrage” at using “taxpayers money” as the justification for continuing the seizures because “these companies took government bailouts”. The perfect storm for the perfect take-over of banks, Wall Street, and whatever this Administration deems necessary to control this nation completely. The Presidents own chief of staff stated “never let a crisis go to waste” in order to move your agenda forward. There is no question what that agenda can be unless you are hiding under a rock or have bought into the media propaganda.

I can only imagine that the NEXT proposal from this Administration will be from the EPA that in an effort to REQUIRE the reduction of “carbon” from any energy source, the government will need to regulate these companies who produce “carbon” more vigorously and without regard to the fact that they are private enterprises. They are going to want the power to seize these companies ONCE THEY SHOW they are not meeting EPA guidelines for “carbon emissions”, fuel savings, or any number of “reasons” the EPA feels is justified for such action. They are already developing plans to declare “carbon dioxide” a pollutant so that the next step can be taken.

If you are an energy producer, such as oil or coal, expect to see massive taxation on your product. This is going to be in an effort to FORCE reductions of these alleged “carbon” dirty fuels usage. Once these companies continue business as usual, again, the EPA will move to curtail production with the desire to seize control to maintain production level reductions to meet their “carbon emissions” guidelines.

Then what is next? Well, think about it. They will control the banks, the money, and the entire financial sector, they control manufacturing, and they will control energy. Well, folks, they now control EVERYTHING they need to TOTALLY CONTROL YOU and your standard of living, what your lifestyle will be, and what choices you make for entertainment or avocational pursuits. Welcome to the NEW AMERIKA!

YOUR next move could be the very last one you make to assure your children and grandchildren are going to enjoy the freedom and liberty that was promised to this nation with our founding documents. Now, more than ever, this nation is on the precipace of a complete and total near dictatorial control of this nation. Unless you take a stand and stop this from happening, we are going to wake up one morning to the news announcements as I have outlined above.

You are perfectly free to sit on your hands and do nothing. Where will you turn when it becomes illegal to speak out against our government? Where will you go when the “free press” is nothing but a mouthpiece for Government Propaganda that “sells” the “sheeple” on the virtues of how great our new government is? WHO will you turn to when there is  nothing but resounding control over YOUR life, your income, your standard of living, and your children’s and grandchildren’s freedoms and liberties?

Now, more than ever you need to take action and sign the Redress of Grievances Petition. Now more than ever, you need to spread the word and TELL OTHERS TO SIGN THIS PETITION as well. The very preservation of this nation could depend on your actions TODAY. Otherwise, the end result by NOT doing so is one you may never be able to turn back the tide that is coming. I love this nation and all she stands for. I believe that man is best living in freedom and liberty to make their own choices and their own decisions for their personal life. Help me keep it that way and take that step with me. Together we have a collective voice that is far stronger than the single one in the wilderness. Become that voice of strength and not of compliance to our government and the controls they are going to impose without AMERICANS stepping forth and saying NO MORE!

Obama, Climate Change, and Promoting a Scam for Political Power

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

More and more scientists are actually looking at the “climate models” and have figured out the scam being promoted. Falling global temperatures, increased polar ice, and the latest data from the Russian researchers all point to an impending “Ice Age” approaching. Wonder how long Obama will promote the lie?

Back when I was in high school, I had one of the greatest science teachers in the entire world. Alyse Cooper actually made you think and to also prove or disprove your thoughts or the thoughts of others. It involved actually putting a “theory” to the test in real life. If the prediction happened, it was proven true and conversely, if real life didn’t support the theorem, it was proven false. This one simple fact is why the computer models that predict “anthropogenic global warming”, when taken to the real world tests, are failures and our politicians are relying on bad science to promote their issues.

Michael R. Fox Ph.D., has published a real life, common sense report on these failures and when the actual evidence is studied, totally shows the scam involved in AGW proponents. In his report in the Hawaii Reporter he makes a very good point about the proper way to do research:

”In general, we look for a new law by the following process. First, we guess it. Then we compute the consequences of the guess to see what would be implied if this law that we guessed is right. Then we compare the result of the computation to nature, with experiment or experience; compare it directly with observation to see if it works. If it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. It’s that simple statement that is the key to science. It does not make any difference how beautiful your guess is. It does not make any difference how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is—if it disagrees with experiment (observation) it is wrong.” – Dr. Richard Feynman, “The Character of Natural Law”, the MIT Press, 1965, p. 156.

He points out that when you look at the data from the late 1800′s, you find periods of cooling and warming that have little, if any, direct correlation to CO2 (man-made) and temperatures. As oceans warm, the amount of CO2 released is billions of tons greater than any man-made contribution could ever be. Additionally, he points out that when you discount 95% of the main “greenhouse gas”, water vapor, 97% of the naturally occurring CO2, and the effect of the Sun on climate, you haven’t proven anything OTHER than you have bad science being promoted by politicians as “gospel truth”.

Then we move to the next article that reveals what the Russians know as being fact regarding AWG. The Vostok ice cores represent some of the oldest ice core samples ever taken from the Earth. Because of their age, the conclusions being drawn do not support the hypothesis of AWG being the cause of any warming or cooling of the earth. Instead, they point to some very simple facts that every 12,000 years, the earth enters a period of global cooling that lasts for 110,000 years. We are currently in an interglacial period (warm phase) that has lasted for well over 16,000 years from the last major Ice Age and the resulting “dawn of man”. Basically, we are 4,000 years past due to enter another serious cooling period and measurements around the globe are supporting the fact they we indeed are entering another prolonged Ice Age. The article at NewsBusters tells the entire story which I find this interesting conclusion:

The Vostok ice core data graph reveals that global CO2 levels regularly rose and fell in a direct response to the natural cycle of Ice Age minimums and maximums during the past four hundred and twenty thousand years. Within that natural cycle, about every 110,000 years global temperatures, followed by global CO2 levels, have peaked at approximately the same levels which they are at today.

Once again, we as Americans are being manipulated by our own media. Are we finding these articles being published in the New York Times, the Washington Post, or any number of Socialist/Liberal media outlets?. Not on your life as they don’t support the POLITICAL agenda of the Liberal Left. AWG is being used to manipulate our energy sources, taxes, building of new power plants that use “fossil fuels”, and will ultimately lead to total control of the population of this nation as this nonsense continues to be proposed based on VERY BAD SCIENCE.

You are going to discover, very shortly, that our President Elect, Barrack Obama is the major cheerleader of this scam. He is still trying to discover the “best way” to fight AWG when the reality is, IT DOESN’T EXIST. According to the scientific evidence, our soon to be President had instead, better be looking at ways to further the production of our own energy resources, finding means to provide livable homes to mankind, and figuring out what he will do with the millions of displaced people in the northern regions of this nation as the “global cooling” and the expansion of the glaciers happens over time causing uninhabitable regions of this nation.

But then again, what can you expect from the Socialist/Liberals who desire control of this nation without regard to scientific facts. I guess it’s true: Facts don’t matter if your are a Liberal, only the “intent” is what counts.
