Fannie Mae Chief Executive Officer Franklin Raines, two of his top underlings and select individuals in the "green" movement were inventing a patented system to trade residential carbon credits.
Patent No. 6904336 was approved by the U.S. Patent and Trade Office on Nov. 7, 2006 -- the day after Democrats took control of Congress. Former Sen. John Sununu, R-N.H., criticized the award at the time, pointing out that it had "nothing to do with Fannie Mae's charter, nothing to do with making mortgages more affordable."
"It wasn't about mortgages. It was about greenbacks. The patent, which Fannie Mae confirmed it still owns with Cantor Fitzgerald subsidiary CO2e.com, gives the mortgage giant a lock on the fledgling carbon trading market, thus also giving it a major financial stake in the success of cap-and-trade legislation."

WHere there is ONE exchange, look for others created by the same people, even if they are not in sight. Not fully tongue-in-cheek, might one look imaginatively for a semi-private US/Israel Middle East conflict futures exchange quiety running in the back ground with lots of investment money and a blind pool of front-running high frequency quant programs shorting the prospects of a US/Israel win and a monster issuance of credit default swaps by the insiders if the US and Israel are the winners against Iran/Syria/Hezbollah? Saudis would be likely takers.
WHAT USED TO BE CRAZY is conceivable now after exposure of the Chicago Futures and Fannie connections, yet to be fully disclosed. The ENTIRE financial system of the US is a Ponzi apparatus. A list of stockholders and primary assistants is in order for the Chicago Carbon Futures Exchange. Are Sharia financial interests involved in the Chicago Carbon Futures Exchange?...expect them to be.
Israel, in a pressure cooker, is quite capable of avoiding interminable committee decisions, and, should Israel attack Iran/Syria, it will be with a view that it can survive.
Not mentioned, and disturbing so, is the reality that a Masada type related strategy could conceivably be imaginable by the current US administration with Brezinskis’ approval via the Saudis with a mutual hope that Israel takes out enough of Iran in a conflict to benefit Saudi and US purposes regarding Iran to a great extent, and relieve them of the Israeli “problem” at the same time. IF so, this will be a disaster for the US aside from being a catastrophe for Israel. Those Saudi medallions on Bush and Obama are really something to worry about.
Many have said that the way out of Iraq and Afganistan is through Iran. Must Israel pay the price?
Massive participations in the Chicago Carbon Exchange include the following:

An excerpt of this reasonably short, but detailed piece with loads of information:
“But why have neither Republicans nor Democrats challenged Gore on this? And why have they conspicuously refrained from confronting Sir Nicholas Stern—of the 2006 “Stern Review” on global warming, British Environment Minister David Miliband, and the other British “experts” streaming into Washington, D.C. in 2007, to demand U.S. “economic response” to climate change? Political amnesia. Elected officials are tightly locked in the grip of the Synarchist gamemasters—the Felix Rohatyn wing of the Democratic Party, and the George Shultz wing of the GOP—who have been in on creating this and prior swindles all along.
Look, for example, at the who’s who involved in the blatant staging of a “pro-green investment” press conference on the eve of the March 21 Gore House and Senate appearance. On March 19, the “Investors Network on Climate Risk” (INCR) held a Washington event to demand Federal action to impose mandatory reductions in greenhouse gases, claiming they represent a $4 trillion pool of funds demanding green ventures. Members of INCR, founded at the UN in 2003, include British Petroleum, Allianz Insurance, the world’s largest insurance firm; DuPont, and hosts of state, labor, and church funds of various kinds, that have been herded into line. The INCR is chaired by British activist Norman Dean, who is simultaneously Director of Friends of the Earth.”

Did not know that. Thank you for the information.
Although Fannie Mae chief Franklin Raines was fired for bungling its books, he'll get a $26 million parachute — not counting a monthly pension of $116,300 for life.....PLUS.
The 55-year-old Washington, DC insider and his CFO J. Timothy Howard left their jobs under a cloud of suspicion that the execs undermined the financial soundness of Fannie Mae, creating losses of up to $9 billion.
Regulators overseeing Fannie Mae urged it not to pay any benefits to either executive until reviews are made of their contracts, filings said yesterday.
Raines owns options giving him $5.8 million in net profit after redeeming them, plus another $8.7 million in deferred compensation for his six years at the helm. Raines has already collected $4.87 million in special performance shares this year and also keeps $5 million of paid-up life insurance. He and his spouse get free medical and dental benefits for life, worth over $1 million.
Last year, Raines earned $20 million in salary, bonuses and stock awards. The Securities and Exchange Commission said he broke accounting rules by playing with risky derivatives.
After he was fired, Raines told the board that he's entitled to get paychecks until next June 22 giving him another $600,000, which triggers a $2,000 monthly raise in his lifetime pension. He also says he's entitled to disputed options with a gross value of about $5.6 million.
To keep Raines happy within philanthropic circles, Fannie Mae will match his charitable contributions by $10,000 a year.
Raines' CFO Howard gets a parachute valued at more than $13.1 million — not including a monthly pension of $36,071 for life. Howard gets free medical and dental coverage for himself and family for life, and as well as the matching $10,000 annual perk in making charitable contributions.

Thanks.
Great post. GB has been all over this and it needs to be shouted from the rooftops. Cap & Rape will be one of the biggest taxes to ever be imposed. All because of a MYTH—GLOBAL WARMING.
As a companion to my post, if you can find it, read today’s WSJ book report in the editorial section on a book called Power Hungry. Sorry, I don’t have a link.

We’re gonna need a railcar full of tar....and a few thousands chikens worth of feathers when we get to DC....
Thanks for the post(s); ping/post. Great thread. Thanks to all posters.

This POS walked away with millions in unearned bonuses.
I looked up the patent and it was issued on June 7, 2005 according to the www.uspto.gov site. The author is confused if she cites November 7, 2006 as the date of issue.
