Small potatoes compared to Obama, Gore, Sandor (Wiki)
Al Capone couldn't even dream of a racket this big. The new Chicago "syndicate" , Barack Obama, Al Gore, Richard Sandor and Hank Paulson, orchestrated the greatest racket of all time.
This new syndicate, the Greenhouse Gas Syndicate, have engaged in fraud, extortion, bribery and Acts affecting a personal financial interest, four of the violations included in the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). Only two of these violations, committed in a ten year period, are required to prove a RICO offense.
First, a brief clarification.
A fraud is an intentional deception perpetrated for profit or personal gain. An example of this would be the claim that "man-made" carbon emissions are the leading cause of the greenhouse effect, when in actuality the most abundant "greenhouse gas" (ghg) is water vapor, representing up to 95% of ghg. The carbon emissions fraud is perpetrated in order to sell carbon offsets or credits.
Extortion is the crime of obtaining money or some other thing of value by the abuse of one's office or authority (coercion). A current president, a former vice-president and several prominant businessmen, through trickery and political pressure are forcing businesses, and the public as a whole, to act involuntarily through laws and regulations governing carbon-emissions as related to global warming.
Bribery is the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of any item of value to influence the actions of an official or other person in discharge of a public or legal duty. (Black's Law Dictionary) and an Act affecting a personal financial interest is a government official making decisions, policies, etc. which will benefit himself, family member, etc. A former vice president, working with the president, enacting legislation and policies which would benefit corporations and groups of which he is a representative. A presidential candidate promises to enact stricter ghg regulations. The benefitting companies then contribute generously to presidential campaign.
Starting with former Vice-President Al Gore, who was part of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which earned him half of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007, had a hand in the creation of the Kyoto Protocol, which mandates that nations reduce or offset carbon emissions. A main activity of the IPCC is publishing special reports on topics relevant to the implementation of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
In May 2005, Gore attended the Investor Network on Climate Risks (INCR)
The CCX was founded by former Chicago Board of Trade (CBT) chief economist Richard Sandor, and former Goldman Sachs & Co. CEO Hank Paulson. The CCX received start-up funding from the Joyce Foundation in 2000 and 2001, during which time Senator Barack Obama sat on the board of directors. The funds were funneled through the Kellogg Graduate School of Management where Sandor is listed as a Research Professor.
The president of the Joyce Foundation, Paula DiPerna, left the foundation in 2001 to become the executive vice-president of CCX, which then received a substantially larger grant from the foundation that same year.
Sandor and former CBT directors (which lists CCX), Les Rosenthal and Michael Walsh went on to found Climate Exchange, PLC, which would become the parent company of CCX as well as The Chicago Climate Futures Exchange (CCFE), Montreal Climate Exchange (MCeX) in Canada, Tianjin Climate Exchange (TCX) in China, Envex OTC in Australia, European Climate Exchange (ECX), Insurance Futures Exchange (IFEX).
Intercontinental Exchange Inc. (ICE), whose subsidiary International Petroleum Exchange is widely accepted as the cause of the dramatic rise in oil prices, is also intertwined with Climate Exchange. ICE also engaged in a bidding war for the purchase of the Chicago Board of Trade, which ultimately they lost.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, GIM, CCX, Goldman Sachs, and the Joyce Foundation "employees" were all contributors to the Obama campaign. In return, Obama is pushing cap and trade which will make these people rich.
Senate bill 5735, the cap and trade bill, specifically mentions CCX as did Obama in his April 2006 speech Energy Independence and the Safety of Our Planet. The Chicago Council on Global Affairs, of which Michelle Obama is a board member, sponsored an event featuring the CCX in April 2009.
All of this began with Al Gore, who ignited a global conspiracy which would fill the pockets of himself and his cohorts.

Greetings.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is REAL journalism! It's about time someone had the courage to identify what is going on with the Climate Change Crowd. Unfortunately millions of people have been duped by these scam artists into believing their false "religion". We really DO need to take care of the environment and conserve energy. Just think of how many trees you could plant with all the money this racket would have cost the world.
In the 1970's, The SAME University of East Anglia had reached a "Global COOLING Consensus" using statistical analysis!
The earth's climate is too cyclical and complex to make a simple computer prediction of the future. Too many variables. Sure pollution is a problem, but it's not solved by taxes, carbon credits, the UN, the IPCC, or any other radical solution. Plant a tree, turn your thermostat down, drive less, and use smaller bulbs.
If someone cries the sky is falling, but if you pay me, I can fix the problem, say "No Thanks". THINK PEOPLE
In my opinion Mr. Obama is the right president at the right time.
The idea of a futures market for environmental, cap in trade, derivatives is as at least as good an idea as the mortgage derivatives market that recently went bust. I don't think that any previous, tenuous, personal associations between politicians and economists are cause for alarm. Granted we may all be economically strapped with higher costs for fuel and other commodities with cap and trade but at least we can all feel good about doing our part to save the planet, maybe. If we can't trust our politicians whom we have elected, whom can we trust? God? Besides, this whole idea of an environmental market will create wealth at least for some of us. Of course like everything else the market will go bust again no matter what we mere mortals try to do. Don't worry be happy!
