Rockefellers have a message for Joe Manchin
CNN Fake News ^ | 30 September 2021 | John D. Rockefeller V, Justin Rockefeller and Valerie Rockefeller

Posted on 10/01/2021 4:23:48 AM PDT by Magnatron

We were raised in coal country, about two hours south of Sen. Joe Manchin's hometown, with a commitment to public service. Like Sen. Manchin, our father, five-term Sen. Jay Rockefeller... …And like Sen. Manchin, our father, who is now retired, has deep respect for the state's legacy of hard work and grit.

Manchin has served our state well. He is a caring and determined leader who we've been honored to know as our father's colleague and friend. Unfortunately, when it comes to our state's future (whether it's the jobs West Virginians will hold or the energy they'll consume), Manchin is sticking with a problematic past by opposing the Senate's $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill. Only by supporting that bill can Manchin lead West Virginia boldly into the clean-energy future that will help the people he has been elected to serve.

Manchin could be the deciding vote on the reconciliation bill that would help fund infrastructure projects and a wide array of social programs. The senator expressed his concerns about the bill's price tag in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, yet failed to acknowledge that delaying the reconciliation bill and jeopardizing the infrastructure bill is a dangerous move that could end up costing the entire country, as well as the people of West Virginia.

He also failed to acknowledge the bill can be financed in large part by reversing the 2017 corporate tax cuts the senator himself voted against —but now refuses to raise to the rate called for in the bill, opting instead for a middle ground. By holding up the reconciliation bill, the senator is jeopardizing funds necessary to uplift West Virginia's economic outlook and resilience at a time when the state is grappling with the country's lowest life expectancy and one of its highest poverty rates .

I’m not one for conspiracy theories like the Illuminati (I’m a Freemason and I’ve never been invited to the secret meetings) or Bilderbergers…

…but when the Rockefellers chime in in unison…

For a huge spending bill for “infrastructure.”

The dollar is the most important part of our economic infrastructure.

Don’t cause the dollar to collapse by overspending.

I’ll hold my breath while CNN investigates how much the Rockefellers stand to personally gain from pork “clean energy” grants and gov’t contracts.

“We were raised in coal country”. Yeah, ask any West Virginian how these Rockefeller were raised in coal country.

Somehow, I don’t think the Rockerfellers know a thing about working in the coal mines, nor do they have any idea about the importance of having a job which requires there be functional businesses; businesses which the federal government see as nothing more than a carcass to strip.

Them speaking publicly in this manner makes me even more convinced the bill is a net negative for our country.
“The Great OZ has spoken!!”

It’s no accident that these spawn of one of the wealthiest families in human history ended up representing a state with more white people on welfare than any place outside the United Kingdom.

The Manchin family and Rockefellers have been the families responsible for running WVa as local crime bosses, doing the bidding of the big guys in DC. I’m sure Manchin is being told go along with the DC dons and keep that government corruption gravy train running with full steam in Mountaineer State.

Wake me when they donate their 400 billion to the cause instead of getting bitchy about spending vast amounts of money the country doesn’t have and facilitating the destruction of our currency. I would call them trash but that's not being nice.

“Today, the Rockefeller family is worth an estimated $11 billion dollars. This makes them one of the richest families in the world.”

They can afford to build a solar panel factory in West Virginia.

Why haven’t they?

Manchin should say “Well, I have a message for the Rockerfellers:
“Eat Coal!”, but he’s too much of a gentleman.

I have to be careful putting too much faith in Joe Manchins apparent act of resistance. He is of the Democrat tribe. Therefore, I suspect at some point, Joe will step down from his latest soapbox and Joe will surrender.
He is most likely to accept some deal.
Quid pro quo. He has played this part before.

The only “future” ahead for West Virginia is for Manchin to immediately change is party affiliation to Republican. He knows the hourglass is swiftly drianing away for him with the looming swingback in the 2022 midterm, and he’s the last Democrat in the WV congressional delegation. After that, his vote will be irrelevant and his political career, which has been fraught with double-dealing, side-mouth talking and flip-flopping, will come to an end. He has a chance to joing the real future if he has the balls and the character.

What’s it called when big business and big government collude, along with a false sense of national pride? Hmm….

The odds of the GOP winning control of the Senate in 2022 are slim at best. There are way too many safe Democrat seats and too many vulnerable Republican seats being contested for that to happen.

“Why haven’t they?”

They well know that solar panels and windmills are losers.

They were raised on the backs of coal miners.
