Missile shield sacrificed for Trilaterals’ profit

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

By Patrick Wood

When Obama abruptly dropped the Eastern European missile shield, the real motive became quickly visible. Buried in a Reuter’s article was the following side note:

“Shortly after the pullback on the shield programme was announced, Russia’s government said Prime Minister Vladimir Putin would meet several U.S. executives on Friday from firms including General Electric, Morgan Stanley as well as TPG, one of the world’s largest private equity firms.”

In fact, all three companies mentioned have connections to the Trilateral Commission:

  • Dinakar Singh, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, TPG-Axon Capital, New York, NY; former Co-head, Principal Strategies Department, Goldman Sachs
  • Robert W. Lane, Board of Directors General Electric; Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Deere & Company, Moline, IL
  • Lord Simon of Highbury, Senior Adviser of Morgan Stanley Europe; Member of the House of Lords, Deputy Chairman of Unilever; Non-Executive Director of Suez Group; former Minister for Trade & Competitiveness in Europe; former Chairman of BP, London

General Electric’s influence in the White House is second only to Goldman Sachs.

As noted in Obama: Trilateral Commission Endgame, members of the Trilateral Commission have thoroughly saturated the Obama administration — 13 percent of the U.S. membership now hold critical positions, including,

  • Secretary of Treasury, Tim Geithner
  • Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice
  • National Security Advisor, Gen. James L. Jones
  • Deputy National Security Advisor, Thomas Donilon
  • Chairman, Economic Recovery Committee, Paul Volker
  • Director of National Intelligence, Admiral Dennis C. Blair
  • Assistant Secretary of State, Asia & Pacific, Kurt M. Campbell
  • Deputy Secretary of State, James Steinberg
  • State Department, Special Envoy, Richard Haass
  • State Department, Special Envoy, Dennis Ross
  • State Department, Special Envoy, Richard Holbrooke
  • Deputy Undersecretary of State for economic, energy and agricultural affairs, Robert Hormats

Note that Robert Hormats was vice-chairman of Goldman Sachs prior to his recent appointment. The economic development of Russia is part of his specific responsibilities.

The purpose of controlling the Executive Branch since the election of Jimmy Carter in 1976, has been to create insider business deals for themselves, at the expense of everyone else. The fact that Eastern Europe will now be at the mercy of Vladimir Putin and the Russian Bear doesn’t seem to bother the Trilaterals in the slightest.

Until this hegemony is exposed and broken up, there is zero percent chance of turning back Obama’s Marxist destruction of America as we know it today.

H.R. 2454 will further cripple our economy and drain your pockets

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Here’s how:

  • It will raise your household electricity rates by 90 percent, gasoline by 74 percent, and residential natural gas prices by 55 percent by 2035, after adjusting for inflation.
  • It imposes an annual burden of $144.8 billion per year on U.S. households, and it will reduce household earnings by a projected $37.8 billion.
  • It will further cut U.S. employment levels by 965,000 jobs by reducing economic output by $136 billion per year-this translates to a $1,145 increase in energy costs per American household.
  • It will force low-income households to disproportionately bear the across-the-board energy cost increase, as a larger percentage of the poor’s income goes toward energy costs, as opposed to wealthier households.
  • It sets the stage to effectively kill the coal industry as it will be taxed so heavily, it will not be able to sustain itself.

If enacted, H.R. 2454 would be the biggest government takeover of the economy since the Second World War, which is the last time energy, food, and other basic commodities were rationed. Waxman-Markey amounts to a $2 trillion tax increase on middle-class Americans. Not only would this be the biggest tax increase in the history of the world, but it is yet another example of President Barack Obama violating his campaign promise not to raise taxes on the middle class. This cap-and-tax bill is simply an underhanded way of facilitating a colossal transfer of wealth from consumers to big businesses.

Household energy taxation with the ultimate goal of energy-rationing is dangerous, not only for your pocketbook, but also for the well-being of your family and your standard of living.

H.R. 2454 is a hidden tax and it must be defeated this week in the House!

Take Action:

The Democrat Majority has announced that amendments to this bill can be made no later than 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, June 25th. We expect a floor vote to occur soon after that, so please begin calling your Representatives and tell them to vote NO on cap-and-tax!

HR 2454: American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009

One question from the peanut gallery… What does “Security” have to do with Clean Energy?

What is the “official” description?

To create clean energy jobs, achieve energy independence, reduce global warming pollution and transition to a clean energy economy.

So, again I ask, what does “Security” have to do with Clean Energy?
