YOUR HOPE.. THEIR POCKET CHANGE.. Importance: Low

Your Hope .. Their ‘Pocket’ Change .. First the Companies involved. Carbon Cap and Tax, ie: New Energy Bill in Congress

#1. A small bank in Chicago called SHOREBANK almost went bankrupt during the recession. The bank made a profit on its foreign micro-loans (see below) but had lost money in sub-prime mortgages in the US . It was facing likely closure by federal regulators. However, because the bank’s executives were well connected with members of the Obama administration, a private rescue bailout was arranged. The bank’s employees had donated money to Obama’s Senate campaign. In other words, ShoreBank was too politically connected to be allowed to go under.

ShoreBank survived and invested in many “green” businesses such as solar panel manufacturing. In fact, the bank was mentioned in one of Obama’s speeches during his election campaign because it subjected new business borrowers to eco-litmus tests.

#2. Prior to becoming President, Obama sat on the board of the JOYCE FOUNDATION. This foundation was originally established by Joyce Kean’s family which had accumulated millions of dollars in the lumber industry. It mostly gave funds to hospitals but after her death in 1972, the foundation was taken over by radical environmentalists and social justice extremists.

#3. This Joyce Foundation, which is rumored to have assets of $8 billion dollars, has now set up and funded, with a few partners, something called the CHICAGO CLIMATE EXCHANGE, known as CXX. It will be the exchange (like the Chicago Grain Futures Market for agriculture) where Environmental Carbon Credits are traded.

(Under Obama’s ‘Cap and Trade’ bill, businesses in the future will be assessed a tax on how much CO2 they produce (their Carbon Footprint) or in other words how much they add to global warming. If a company produces less CO2 than their allotted measured limit, they earn a Carbon Credit. This Carbon Credit can be traded on the CXX exchange. Another company, which has gone over their CO2 limit, can buy the Credit and “reduce” their footprint and tax liability. It will be like trading shares on Wall Street.)

It was the same Joyce Foundation, along with some other private partners and Wall Street firms, that funded the bailout of ShoreBank. The foundation is now one of the major shareholders.

#4. The bank has now been designated to be the “banking arm” of the Chicago Climate Exchange (CXX).

#5. In addition, GOLDMAN SACHS has been contracted to run the investment trading floor of the exchange.

And the Cast of Characters ..

A. One ShoreBank co-founder, named Jan Piercy, was a Wellesley College roommate of Hillary Clinton. Hillary and Bill Clinton have long supported the bank and are small investors.

B. Another co-founder of ShoreBank, named Mary Houghton, was a friend of Obama’s late mother. Obama’s mother worked on foreign micro-loans for the Ford Foundation. She worked for the foundation with a guy called Geithner. Yup, this man was the father of Tim Geithner, our present Treasury Secretary, (sometimes called ‘Turbo Tax Tim’ because he ‘forgot’ to pay his taxes for two years running.)

C. Another founder of ShoreBank was Ronald Grzywinski, a cohort and close friend of Jimmy Carter.

D. The former ShoreBank Vice Chairman was a man called Bob Nash. He was the deputy campaign manager of Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid. He also sat on the board of the Chicago Law School with Obama and Bill Ayers. Nash was also a member of Obama’s White House transition team.

(To jog your memories, ‘Bombing Bill’ Ayers is a Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago . He co-founded the Weather Underground, a radical revolutionary group that bombed buildings in the 60s and 70s. He had no remorse for those who were killed, escaped jail on a technicality, and is still an admitted Marxist).

E. When Obama sat on the board of the JOYCE FOUNDATION, he “funneled” thousands of charity dollars to a guy named John Ayers, who runs a dubious education fund. Yes – that would be the brother of ‘Bombing Bill’.

F. Howard Stanback is a board member of ShoreBank. He is a former board chairman of the Woods Foundation. Obama and Bill Ayers, also sat on the board of the Woods Foundation. And, Stanback was formerly employed by New Kenwood Inc. a real estate development company co-owned by Tony Rezko.

(You will remember that Tony Rezko was the guy who gave Obama an amazing sweet deal on his new house. Years prior to this, the law firm of Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland had represented Rezko’s company and helped him get more than 43 million dollars in government funding. Guess who worked as a lawyer at the firm at the time – Barack Obama).

G. Adele Simmons, the Director of ShoreBank, is a close friend of Valerie Jarrett, a White House senior advisory to Obama. Simmons and Jarrett also sit on the board of a dubious Chicago Civic Organization.

H. Van Jones sits on the board of ShoreBank and is one the marketing directors for “green” projects. He also holds a senior advisory position for black studies at Princeton University . You will remember that Mr. Van Jones was appointed by Obama in 2009 to be a Special Advisory for Green Jobs at the White House.

He was later forced to resign over past political activities, including the fact that he is an admitted Marxist.

I. Al Gore was one of the smaller partners to originally help fund the Chicago Climate Exchange. He also founded a company called Generation Investment Management (GIM), registered in London , England . GIM has close links to the UK-based Climate Exchange PLC, a holding company listed on the London Stock Exchange. This company trades Carbon Credits in Europe (just like CXX will do here) and its floor is run by Goldman Sachs.

J. Along with Gore, the other co-founder of GIM is Hank Paulson, the former US Treasury Secretary and former CEO of Goldman Sachs. His wife, Wendy, graduated from – and is presently a Trustee of – Wellesley College . This is the same college that Hillary Clinton and Jan Piercy, a co-founder of ShoreBank attended. (They are all friends).

And now the …. THE MONEY TRAIL !!

If the bill passes, it is estimated that over $10 TRILLION dollars each year will be traded on the CXX exchange. At a commission rate of only 4 percent, the exchange would earn close to $400 billion dollars to split between its owners, all Obama cronies. At a 2 percent commission rate, Goldman Sachs would also rake in an additional $200 billion dollars each year.

But don’t forget SHOREBANK – with $10 trillion dollars flowing though its accounts, the bank will earn close to $40 billion dollars in interest each year for its owners, again more Obama cronies.

It is estimated Al Gore alone could probably rake in $15 billion dollars just in the first year.

Obama’s “commissions” will be held in trust for him at the Joyce Foundation – estimated to be over $8 billion dollars – until he leaves office. Of course, these commissions will continue to be paid for the rest of his life.

Some financial experts think this will be the largest “scam” or “legal heist” in world history. Certainly makes Bernie Madoff’s fraud look like penny ante stuff.

That is … IF the bill passes this year.

And why this year ….. ?

Because many studies have been exposed as scientific nonsense, people are slowly realizing that man-made global warming is nothing more than a money-generating hoax.

As a result, Obama is working feverishly to win the race. He aims to push a Cap-and-Trade Carbon Tax Bill through Congress and into law now !

He knows he must get this passed before he loses his majority in Congress in the November elections. Apart from Climate Change he will “sell” this bill to the public as generating tax revenue to reduce our debt.

But, it will also make it impossible for US companies to compete in world markets and drastically increase unemployment. In addition, energy prices (home utility rates) will sky rocket.

Obama’s cronies make the Mafia look like rank amateurs. Quite a story huh? You probably don’t believe a word of it right?
