Thanks!
I've watched this stuff building since 1994 with Maurice Strong, Al Gore, et al... Each time someone adds new information I get a little more alarmed for the future of our magnificent earth changing republic!!!
The evil intensity with which these malevolent people and their swindling allies subverts the great morality of this exceptional world power is beyond breathtaking!!!
One wonders which belief system is more evil and fervently driven, environmentalism, or the muslim kind. Either has the power to take us right back to the darkest of ages in heartbeat... the heartbeat of America that Chevrolet used to advertise years ago...

Stunning Pictures of Al Gore’s New $9 Million Mansion Media Totally Ignored By Noel Sheppard Created 05/03/2010 - 23:45
Nobel Laureate Al Gore purchased a $9 million mansion in the luxurious hills of Montecito, California, recently, and with the exception of the Los Angeles Times and Fox News, America’s media couldn’t care less.
You think it might be because the Gore-loving press wouldn’t want people to consider the possibility that all of his global warming hysteria was really about lining his wallet and not saving the planet?
Formulate a response to that question as you look at what all that money the former Vice President is making off of spreading this myth can buy (h/t Doug Ross [1]):
Sweet, wouldn’t you say? (Readers are encouraged to view more pictures of this fabulous estate here [2].)
Certainly not bad for a guy he supposedly [3] was worth between one and two million dollars in 2000.
Were the “Always Fascinated by the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” press interested?
Heck no.
According to LexisNexis, apart from the Los Angeles Times that broke [4] this story last Wednesday, and Fox News’s Sean Hannity who spoke about this on consecutive nights last week, America’s media were totally mum.
Why might that be?
You think Gore’s adoring press don’t want folks to know how much money he’s making off this scam?
Before you answer THAT question, consider what the Nobel Laureate told [4] Congress last year as the House was deliberating cap-and-trade legislation:
AL GORE: Every penny that I have made, I have put right into a non-profit deal, Alliance For Climate Protection, to spread awareness of why we have to take on this challenge. And Congresswomen, if your, if, if you believe that the reason I have been working on this issue for 30 years is because of greed, you do not know me.
Now, imagine for a moment there were actually journalists still in America and not advocates pretending to be journalists.
A former Vice President who last year told a House committee he was putting all of his earnings into a non-profit company to “spread awareness of why we have to take on” global warming a year later buys a $9 million mansion with six fireplaces, five bedrooms, and nine bathrooms for him and his wife.
Don’t you think SOMEBODY should have reported it other than Fox News, the LA Times, and conservative bloggers?
Where’d the money come from? Was this purchased by his non-profit corporation, and if so, how does he get away with that?
Did he sell some of his Google or Apple stock?
And how about some questions about how green the house is? Are there solar panels and windmills to power this facility? If not, what are their plans?
Forgetting all of that, if the Clintons, Bushes, or Cheneys bought such a place, do you think the media would cover it, at least as a human interest story?
For over three years, Gore’s adoring press have followed virtually every move he’s made since becoming the voice of global warming.
He buys a STUNNING villa as the unemployment rate stands at almost 10 percent and Americans are struggling to regain their footing after 2008’s financial crisis, and the media are suddenly disinterested in him?
On exactly which planet, be it cooling or warming, does THAT make any sense?
Here is some background on the Joyce Foundation:
History
The Joyce Foundation was established in 1948 by Beatrice Joyce Kean of Chicago. She was the sole heir of the Joyce family, which originated in Clinton, Iowa. The family wealth came from the lumber industry, including family-owned timberlands, plywood and saw mills, and wholesale and retail building material distribution facilities which were located in the Midwest and Louisiana.
The Foundation’s mission was broadly stated as “religious, charitable, scientific, literary and educational purposes.” Until the early 1970s, assets of the Foundation remained small and grants were given to the particular philanthropic interests of its founder. When Mrs. Kean died in December of 1972, the Foundation received ninety percent of her estate, an amount in excess of $100 million. A professional staff was retained and Kent F. Peterson, who had been an executive of the family-owned Tremont Lumber Company, was named president.
At the time of Mrs. Kean’s death the Foundation’s annual giving totaled less than $100,000. By 1974, when the Foundation received Mrs. Kean’s total bequest, annual giving reached $500,000; by 1976, it was $10 million. During the first twenty-five years, traditional health organizations and hospitals received the majority of the Foundation’s contributions. In 1973, higher education and cultural institutions were added as major beneficiaries. In 1978, the Foundation published its first public annual report under the direction of its new president, Charles U. Daly. Included in that report was a description of the Foundation’s programmatic interests in culture, education, environment and conservation, government, health and social services.
Over time, the Foundation’s mission has evolved. New programs have been added, and the focus has sharpened to concentrate on public policies affecting the Great Lakes region. Currently, the Foundation’s grantmaking focuses on education, employment issues affecting low-wage workers, Great Lakes environmental issues, gun violence prevention, money and politics, and culture. Succeeding Mr. Daly as Foundation President have been R. Craig Kennedy (1986-92), Deborah Leff (1992-99), Paula DiPerna (1999-2001), and Ellen S. Alberding (2002-present).
