Breaking: Obama Administration Used Soros-Linked Wind Lobbyists to Hide European Green Job Failures
GatewayPundit ^ | March 6, 2010 | Jim Hoft

Barack Obama admitted in 2008 that cap and trade legislation would cause electricity prices to skyrocket. The senator also admitted that cap and trade would likely cost $700 to $1,400 dollars per US family per year:

Obama also promised that cap and trade would decimate the coal industry. But, did not stop Barack Obama and democrats from pushing their expensive plan. Since that time reports have shown that cap-and-trade would be far more expensive than advertised.

But that’s not all… Now, a FOIA request revealed that the Obama administration scrambled to respond last year to strong evidence that “green jobs” are a massive economic drain, costing 570,000 Euros apiece. The FOIA documents also show that the Obama Administration asked George Soros and wind energy lobbyists to hide European wind energy program failures. Chris Horner of the Competitive Enterprise Institute broke this news earlier this week at Pajamas Media:

As candidate and president, on eight separate occasions Barack Obama instructed Americans to “think about what’s happening in countries like Spain [and] Germany” if they wanted to know what successful “green jobs” policies look like, and if they wanted to know what we should expect here in the U.S. from his agenda.

Some European economists took a look. In March, a research team from Madrid’s King Juan Carlos University produced a detailed, substantive, heavily sourced, two-method paper: “Study of the Effects on Employment of Public Aid to Renewable Energy Sources.” The paper concluded that Spain’s “green jobs” program was an economic failure, in fact costing Spain many jobs.

Obama and "Green jobs" -related...

VAN JONES SHOCK ADMISSION [in his own words]: "Goal is Complete Revolution" [links the revolution to "Green" movement]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh4Z0V0zNQg
_________________________________________________

Here is the transcript of the above YouTube video:

“Right after Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat if the civil rights leaders had jumped out and said OK now we want reparations for Slavery, we want redistribution of all the wealth, and we want to legalize mixed marriages. If we’d come out with a maximum program the very next day, they’d been laughed at. Instead they came out with a very minimum. “We just want to integrate these busses…”

But, inside that minimum demand was a very radical kernel that eventually meant that from 1964 to 1968 complete revolution was on the table for this country.

And, I think that this green movement has to pursue those same steps and stages.

Right now we say we want to move from suicidal gray capitalism to something eco-capitalism where at least we’re not fast-tracking the destruction of the whole planet. Will that be enough? No, it won’t be enough. We want to go beyond the systems of exploitation and oppression all together. But, that’s a process and I think that’s what’s great about the movement that is beginning to emerge is that the CRISIS is so severe in terms of joblessness, violence and now ecological threats that people are willing to be both pragmatic and visionary.

So the green economy will start off as a small subset and we are going to push it and push it and push it until it becomes the engine for transforming the whole society.

Blame Bush.

If that doesn’t work, blame Cheney.

If that doesn’t work, blame Halliburton.

If that doesn’t work, blame the CIA.

If that doesn’t work, blame the military-industrial complex.

If that doesn’t work, blame people who’ve read the Bible.

If that doesn’t work, blame the nearest white male of European descent.

Obama and the democrats don’t care about “health reform” or any of the trillions of dollars wasted/stolen for their fake mega-laws.

It all about setting up a permanent socialist state.

Friggin media does their job right and Øbama will not just be impeached, but in an orange jump-suited perp walk by Summer. This is international fraud on a scale that makes Enron look like a lemonade stand.

But I’m sure the sycophant and corrupt LMSM will keep perpetuating the scam at our expense.
