Obama's involvement in Chicago Climate Exchange - the rest of the story
Canada Free Press ^ | March 25, 2009 | Judi McLeod

"...The charity was the Joyce Foundation on whose board of directors Obama served and which gave nearly $1.1 million in two separate grants that were “instrumental in developing and launching the privately-owned Chicago Climate Exchange, which now calls itself “North America’s only cap and trade system for all six greenhouse gases, with global affiliates and projects worldwide.”

And that’s only the beginning of this tawdry tale, Mr. Barnes.

The “privately-owned” Chicago Climate Exchange is heavily influenced by Obama cohorts Al Gore and Maurice Strong.

For years now Strong and Gore have been cashing in on that lucrative cottage industry known as man-made global warming.

Strong is on the board of directors of the Chicago Climate Exchange, Wikipedia-described as “the world’s first and North America’s only legally binding greenhouse gas emission registry reduction system for emission sources and offset projects in North America and Brazil.”

Gore, self-proclaimed Patron Saint of the Environment, buys his carbon off-sets from himself—the Generation Investment Management LLP, “an independent, private, owner-managed partnership established in 2004 with offices in London and Washington, D.C., of which he is both chairman and founding partner. The Generation Investment Management business has considerable influence over the major carbon credit trading firms that currently exist, including the Chicago Climate Exchange.

Strong, the silent partner, is a man whose name often draws a blank on the Washington cocktail circuit. Even though a former Secretary General of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (the much hyped Rio Earth Summit) and Under-Secretary General of the United Nations in the days of an Oil-for-Food beleaguered Kofi Annan, the Canadian born Strong is little known in the United States. That’s because he spends most of his time in China where he he has been working to make the communist country the world’s next superpower..."

There would a lot of Ricco charges and all kinds of others, and lots of orange jump suits - were there an “R” after their names.

Evil walks among us.

Note the the goricle has now called to move the next goreBull conf. to summer - in Mexico City - rather than wait for Dec/Jan. Does he sense things slipping away - is he melting under the bright glare of truth?

He should be wearing orange long before summer - but he can, at least, count on it being really ‘warm’ in Mexico City in summer...it's practically on the equator.

This story confirms my belief in the necessity of shrinking our government. It’s too big to protect from the likes of the Democrat thieves, and cons.

Jesse Ventura hammered their arses! Much of what is said in this article was on Conspiracy Theory tonight. These theiving rat bastards are like ticks sucking the life blood out of our nation. They have fully convinced the uneducated and the clueless that this crap is real and caused by man. They have woven their webs internationally.

Thanks for the ping bitt! I've just got a minute but I want to ask what may be a dumb question: The article states the Chicago Climate Exchange is the ONLY legally binding venue, so what legislation/regulation REQUIRES companies to pay into this carbon "exchange" flimflam anyway? Were it my company I'd tell the moneycarbon changers to kiss my brown spot!

Arnold Shwarzeneggar is neck deep in this crap and I suspect Lindsey Graham is as well.

CCX member list. Keep in mind that this is not the only carbon exchange in the country now. Also notice that there are states, municipalities, and universities on the list. That means taxpayer money going down that hole. I also wonder about how much bailout money went into it as well.
