Obama, Green, Gore, & Goldman = Greed

Love him or hate him, this Beck clip is well worth seeing.  The following video shows how Al Gore, Goldman Sachs, Fannie Mae, George Soros, and Obama are linked together in what could quite possibly be the biggest scam America has ever seen.

 have yet to hear ANYTHING from the Mainstream Media on this, even though Human Events reported on these connections as early as 2007 and again in 2009 (although not as detailed as the previous report).

I have included the transcript for the entire Glenn Beck program below, which includes more information than the video.  For more information on this particular story, please see HERE and HERE.  For more on Cap & Trade, see my previous posts here & here.

The Beholden State

by Steven Malanga, City Journal Spring 2010

The camera focuses on an official of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), California’s largest public-employee union, sitting in a legislative chamber and speaking into a microphone. “We helped to get you into office, and we got a good memory,” she says matter-of-factly to the elected officials outside the shot. “Come November, if you don’t back our program, we’ll get you out of office

 

The video has become a sensation among California taxpayer groups for its vivid depiction of the audacious power that public-sector unions wield in their state. The unions’ political triumphs have molded a California in which government workers thrive at the expense of a struggling private sector. The state’s public school teachers are the highest-paid in the nation. Its prison guards can easily earn six-figure salaries. State workers routinely retire at 55 with pensions higher than their base pay for most of their working life. Meanwhile, what was once the most prosperous state now suffers from an unemployment rate far steeper than the nation’s and a flood of firms and jobs escaping high taxes and stifling regulations. This toxic combination—high public-sector employee costs and sagging economic fortunes—has produced recurring budget crises in Sacramento and in virtually every municipality in the state.

How public employees became members of the elite class in a declining California offers a cautionary tale to the rest of the country, where the same process is happening in slower motion. The story starts half a century ago, when California public workers won bargaining rights and quickly learned how to elect their own bosses—that is, sympathetic politicians who would grant them outsize pay and benefits in exchange for their support. Over time, the unions have turned the state’s politics completely in their favor. The result: unaffordable benefits for civil servants; fiscal chaos in Sacramento and in cities and towns across the state; and angry taxpayers finally confronting the unionized masters of California’s unsustainable government.

ACORN: We're Still Around ... But Maybe Not For Long

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and John Brennan, Barack Hussein Obama’s Deputy National Security Adviser for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, spoke at the National Governors Association’s Special Committee on Homeland Security and Public Safety in Washington last SundayDepartment of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and John Brennan, Barack Hussein Obama’s Deputy National Security Adviser for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, spoke at the National Governors Association’s Special Committee on Homeland Security and Public Safety in Washington last Sunday

 

ACORN is pushing back against reports that it's on the verge of collapse as a national organization, in the wake of last year's hidden camera scandal. But it's not making any long-term predictions about its future.

Yesterday, City Hall News of New York City reported that ACORN "has been forced to suspend most operations as of today." It also reported that the organization's New York branch had morphed into a new group, New York Communities for Change, but was still being led by many of the same people as previously. The California branch of ACORN also recently split off.

In an interview with TPMmuckraker, Kevin Whelan, a spokesman for the national ACORN group, pushed back somewhat against the notion that the national organization is disintegrating. "Bertha Lewis is still the CEO, ACORN still has members across the country," said Whalen.

But he suggested that other local chapters may soon follow New York and California out the door. "I wouldn't be surprised if there are some other additional groups that split off," said Whelan, declining to offer specifics.

ANOTHER E-MAIL FROM AFL-CIO

My husband received this today - as I said in previous posts, he is a firefighter, and the IAFF (firefighters union) is affiliated with the AFL-CIO, which is why he gets these e-mails.  Just trying to get the word out on what their agenda is.  

Dear XXXX, Wall Street banks threw our economy into crisis. Bailing them out cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars. Now, with unemployment at 10 percent, those same Wall Street banks are planning to give six- and even seven-figure bonuses to the executives who created this mess. It's time to say enough, and send the banks a final notice. Payment is past due on the harm they've done to the economy. Payment is past due on all the ways they've mistreated their customers—from excessive credit card fees to risky mortgages. We're letting the bankers know—since they won't rein themselves in, the government is going to have to do it. And we're letting our senators know we want the banks to face consequences for their actions: President Obama's proposed financial crisis responsibility fee on the largest banks will help get back the taxpayer money that bailed out those same banks, without penalizing community banks and small firms. We need a consumer financial protection agency to provide strong oversight so banks can't play Russian roulette with our economy again, and to protect customers from being bled dry. Tired of banks loading you up with fees while taking taxpayer money and giving executives huge bonuses? Send a final notice—payment is past due and it's time for the government to rein in the banks. Click here to let the bankers know this is their final notice. Your message also will go to your senators to urge them to rein in the banks. In solidarity, Marc Laitin AFL-CIO Online Mobilization Coordinator P.S. Yesterday, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka told us the Massachusetts special election results demand harder, faster, smarter action from us on working family issues. Sending this final notice to the big banks is our first step. Take action now! Visit the Web address below to tell your friends about this.   Tell-a-friend!

The Message of Massachusetts - WSJ.com

Whether or not Republican Scott Brown wins today in Massachusetts, the special Senate election has already shaken up American politics. The close race to replace Ted Kennedy, liberalism's patron saint, shows that voters are rebelling even in the bluest of states against the last year's unbridled pursuit of partisan liberal governance.

Tomorrow marks the anniversary of President Obama's Inaugural, and it's worth recalling the extraordinary political opportunity he had a year ago. An anxious country was looking for leadership amid a recession, and Democrats had huge majorities and faced a dispirited, unpopular GOP. With monetary policy stimulus already flowing, Democrats were poised to get the political credit for the inevitable economic recovery.

Ponzi Schemer Supt With Obama, Dems

A political fund-raiser turned ponzi-schemer wanted by the Feds had dinner with a bevy of top-notch Democrat lawmakers, including US President Barack Obama, the night before he was arrested by authorities.

 

The shocking revelation of the self-annointed “Jewish Avenger” and Chabad fundraiser, Scott Rothstein, was made by Republican strategist and pundit Roger Stone on The Bob Grant Show on January 10th.

Stone later wrote about the event on his blog
