BREAKING: Senate report exposes the movement as cash machine controlling the EPA

How a Club of Billionaires and Their Foundations Control the Environmental Movement and Obama’s EPA

A new report was released today by the Senate Environment and Public Works committee, and it is damning. All this time that climate skeptics are accused of being in the employ of “big oil” is nothing more than a projection of their own greed.

Some excerpts:

Over 7.9 BILLION in funding between these groups.

Green mafia funding exposed -- for all the whining about Koch brothers etc., it is the political left that is awash with funds behind the scenes, shaping radical foolish policies re: environment, "climate change" (sic), etc.

Yup. And it’s not just the EPA. Most our alphabet agencies are currently owned and operated in a similar fashion.

Just look at the Dept of Education, the IRS, ATF, and many others.

It’s not just the EPA either.

Fling lawsuits the government will settle, agreed on beforehand, is exactly how much of the activist left is funded in this country. See “Pigford”.

Like when partisan AG’s decide not to defend laws they don’t like in court.

And then there's the grandaddy of them all, the Department of Agriculture.

We can't have vertical mobility in our caste system.

How do the Audubon Society and the Nature Conservancy accumulate that much wealth? Who funds them? We’re talking about billions of dollars here!

Thank you for posting this.

If the sheople only knew they are funding the Marxists. I am going to confess I did in the ‘80s. I love the outdoors and animals and photography, but if it means leaving just a pair of every animal or tree on earth, so be it.

Going to ask for a complete list of other groups doing the same thing, if anyone else has one.

Those controlling the media is #1. Education, #2. Any of the organizations that the Alinsky plan mentions.

This is important. This is a big source of lily white funding that hardly ever is criticised or cut. If we want to startve the beast, this report lays out a road map.

Use FOIA request and follow Larry Klayman’s lead with lawsuits. These cut both ways. Cut the funding, cut the fraud and vice versa.

Roughly a decade ago, the liberal left wing Sacaramento BEE published a similar expose' entitled EnvironMental Groups Living Off The Fat Of The Land. (title from my sketchy memroy) It seemed to somewhat balance their Pulitzer Prize winning series of a few months prior entitled Sierra In Peril which was pregnant with banal nonsense to say the least.

Anyways, this study sounds to me like old news that's going through Governor MoonBeam's "waste stream" recycling exercise in futility!!! I'm so tired of these Senators putting out stuff like this without doing a (bleepin) thing about it in reality!!! They they deliberately work and spend to discredit an actually effective movement of the people like the Tea Party!!!

Now we're living with Arnold Schwartzenegger's Sierra-Nevada CONservancy on the eastern half of CA and the Coastal Commission suffocating property rights on the western half of CA, with arbitrary and capricious bureaucratic regulations!!! But Americans and Californians act like such docile bovine creatures in regard to all this tyrannical tyranny!!!

Solyndra was only the tip of the iceberg - green energy is inefficient - these operators get big government bucks (subsidies) to set up their phoney energy companies of various kinds, and it doesn’t matter whether they succeed or not - the bucks are already in their pockets at the taxpayers expense, and they’re on to their next scam - it’s crony governmentalism plain and simple.....

Without reading it, I’m going to assume the report does not reveal that a massive amount influence is bought by foreign _friendly_ nations, indirectly, thru donation to US institutions or ownership interest of US corporations and institutions. Nations like, Saudi Arabia.

I published how this works in greater detail in Natural Process 13 years ago. Yet none of these "insightful leaders" has any idea what to do about the great game, even though I told them then.

So why should I be paying homage to this sudden "discovery" and expose?

Every government department/agency is now controlled by Commies and mostly they plot against the middle-class taxpayers.

If it's bad for the USA, they love it.

Senate committees are all controlled by Democrats and would scarcely release a report so critical of the administration. Was it a minority report? Just curious.
