There is a reason Glenn Beck did a show not too long ago called “Crime Inc.” on the topic of the Chicago Climate Exchange. The set-up from the powers that be with their organizations, funded by legislation is nothing short of criminal behavior. The Energy Bill, or whatever name they are calling it these days is still the same. It’s still a bill to “cap” energy consumption through regulation, increasing federal tentacles, and then tax the citizens and businesses in this nation to fund their corrupt carbon trading mechanism.

Passing a bill that will enrich BP, not to mention Shell, and a whole host of oil companies (see USCAP) and break Americans backs financially, if not rob us of more of our freedoms.

Ironically, Goldman Sachs divested 44% of its shares in BP Oil during the first quarter of 2010. Could it be mere coincidence that the former chairman of BP, Peter Sutherland, is the current chairman of Goldman Sachs?
Right, nothing to see here, move along.
