Is the EPA running a black-ops program?

The trouble with enviros is that once they get convinced they are in a war and the very survival of the biosphere is at stake, there is literally nothing beneath them, in the sense that the most abhorrent actions will still be justified as necessary on the path to save the planet.

Any entity – or agency – that has the power to do anything it wants by declaring something envirnmental unfriendly, whether or not that is so, needs to be watched closely. Since the EPA is taking part in the “great climate change scam,” its officials and the agency itself would undoubtedly react in the same manner as the rest of the climategate partners. I put nothing past any organization that works well beyond its mandate.
It would not surprise me to see them declare oxygen a pollutant because it causes the destruciton of so many things through the process of “oxidation,” and the fact that it is necessary for life would mean nothing to them. Oh yes, we can declare an “oxygen” tax to go hand in hand with the carbon tax being propossed tor the other essential gas, carbon dioxide. That way that get us for breathing in, and also for breathing out.

“The trouble with enviros is that once they get convinced they are in a war and the very survival of the biosphere is at stake, there is literally nothing beneath them, in the sense that the most abhorrent actions will still be justified as necessary on the path to save the planet.”
In one word “Fascist” with a big F.

If Lisa Jackson were David Petreus, the scandal would already be uncovered. The problem is that to get people to move against officials in DC, your scandal has to do with sexual impropriety, it seems. If you merely break various laws in pursuit of policy, it takes a long time to get to the bottom of it, the FBI won’t be of any help to you.
The solution is obvious: get the NY Post to allege that the Richard Windsor alias was used to cover up a masochistic affair with Sen. Inhofe. Then we will soon know what is in those emails!

The EPA has a secret agenda which will kill US industry. Any method to reduce their power will help industry and help reduce the US $T debt mountain that is the millstone round the necks of US citizens. Jackson certainly needs to go.

Richard Windsor is the secret code name of EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson used in some communications over the Internet? Behavior that appears to suggest hiding things that she/he knows are in violation of the regulations and policies.
And what’s with the opposite sex code name? Creepy.

An interesting question might be: with whom were these false aliases used to communicate?
Between the EPA’s officials, involving no outsiders?
Between the EPA and activist organisations?
Between the EPA and other US government bodies?
Between the EPA and the White House?
It could be amusing, perhaps appalling, to see what scuttles out from under this particular rock.

@John Marshall
Lisa Jackson is doing the bidding of her boss. If she goes, another clone will take her place.

I noted on an earlier thread that Fox News has picked up this story. Waiting to see if other news channels might do likewise.

One has to ask whether the use of private emails is restricted to the EPA… and I doubt it is. I wouldn’t be surprised if communications related to the Justice Department’s Operation Fast and Furious, where untold number of Mexican citizens and one US Border Patrol agent were murdered because of actions by this administration were similarly hidden. The Benghazi fiasco and the ensuing coverup on who did what and when is another candidate. When Obama became president, he insisted on being allowed to carry a Blackberry… maybe now we know why.

How do we know she’s not been using it to cover up an illicit love affair or selling secrets to foreign agents or rigging the market or…..

That’s because there is none. We’re talking about people who believe that carbon dioxide is the devil, and will somehow catastrophically heat the earth so that the oceans boil away.
You just have to ignore earth’s history, your knowledge of science, and that little voice in the back of your head whispering and pleading for a return to your sanity, and it all makes sense.

No, they believe that man is the problem and man must be eliminated from the face of the earth.

“The EPA has failed to convince.”
That’s pretty much a general statement about them – on any subject. 🙁

Maybe she uses the account to communicate to her lovers.
Maybe she is having an affair with a married man and sending him emails as RW is easier.
Maybe her lover’s gender suggests she should have a man’s name.
I wonder what’s there but until I read it in the National Enquirer…..I’ll hold judgement.

fredb: “I fail to see the logic here.”
——————————————————-
The “logic”, what little of it there is, is to pick winners and losers and by doing so reward one’s campaign donors, and often oneself (if one can hide the gain well enough). Coal = loser, so we regulate it as hard as we can. Solar = winner (read “our donors are heavily invested in solar”) so we regulate coal, oil and gas as heavily as we can.
The tragedy is that many of the “workers” in these organizations honestly believe that their work is to help clean up pollution, etc. While at the top the work is all about driving dollars to donors.
By the way, this is true for all administrations, whether Republican and Democrat. The only difference is one of degree. And the Chicago boys and girls have set a new standard. I’ll let each judge whether it’s a new high or low.
Just note that since 1961 four Illinois governors (including the two most recent) have gone to jail for bribery, fraudulent loans, conspiracy, fraud, perjury, and tax evasion. For those keeping score: three Democrats and one Republican.
Can anyone spot the pattern? Oh, and for those who always scoff at conspiracy theories… well here we at least one of the four who was convicted of conspiracy.

@fredb
OK, to add to the responses above.
1. It’s ideological, only Green energy must be allowed.
2. It works well with crony capitalism. While denigrating large corporations, one can favor them in the market place by snuffing out the small competitors. Statism does not like variety, harder to control. See Dodds/Frank.

@fredb
If you think that killing the coal-industry isn’t economic warfare against people, than you will continue to fail to see the logic of the remark. And they will not make themselves unnecessary, since oil and gas are next on the list, until there is no industry left. After that they will regulate anything you do when you work in your own garden or in your own barn to make a living. It will be a North Korean style society with ruthless supervision and regulation on anything.
Open your eyes!

….Can someone please explain to me what the EPA has to gain in killing the backbone of a nations existence, and hence destroy its own existence? I fail to see the logic here.
____________________________________
The answer I am afraid delves into “Conspiracy Theory” territory.
In order to create a new society/government or whatever you first have to destroy the old because people just are not going to embrace something new until you move them out of their comfort zone, and you have to make them VERY uncomfortable.
We can go to one source who was a founding member of the Club of Rome, the Committee on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission, attended the Bilderberg meetings (see p. 410) and lunches with the IMF and World Bank leaders in private on a yearly basis.
In his autobiography Memoirs on page 405, he plainly states:

“Some even believe we [the Rockefeller’s] are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure—one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.“

David Rockefeller is a graduate of the London School of Economics whose founders were the founders of the Fabien Society (I suggest you learn about them and LSE)
Bill Clinton who gave the United States NAFTA, WTO, China’s entry into the WTO, the export of US jobs(unemployment now ~23%) and a climbing trade deficit is also a graduate of LSE.
Bill Clinton mentioned his much admired professor at Georgetown, Carroll Quigley at his Inaugural Address and thanked him.
In his history book, Tragedy and Hope Carroll Quigley says:

“There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates, to some extent, in the way the radical Right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Group has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, of any other groups, and frequently does so. I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960’s, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it…but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known.” (p. 950)

Quigley also states in his book:

“The powers of financial capitalism had a far-reaching plan, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole.”

In the article From Carroll Quigley to the UN Millennium Summit Steven Yates goes over the question ” Does such an agenda really exist, or are statements about conspiracies to create world government nothing more than “right wing” paranoia?”
You can also look at what Pascal Lamy, a former EU bureaucrat and now Director-General of the WTO has to say about ‘Global Governance” (Just ‘google it’ ) Lamy goes on in many articles about what it will take to set up an overarching world government, though he prefers to call it a global governance system. He talks about ‘legitimacy’ he says a governance system needs to provide legitimacy, which is essential to ensure ownership over decisions which lead to change — ownership to prevent the built-in bias towards resistance to modifying the status quo. This is where the financial crisis and global economic crisis come in. To get rid of Nations as independent entities you have to have a reason.
Lamy also make it clear he thinks National Sovereignty is old hat and holds the EU up as a template for the direction modern society should go. (see Of What Use is Global Governance?)

… the international system is founded on the principle and politics of national sovereignty: the Wesphalian order of 1648 remains very much alive in the international architecture today. In the absence of a truly global government, global governance results from the action of sovereign States. It is inter-national. Between nations….
But it does not suffice.. In fact, the Wesphalian order is a challenge in itself. The recent crisis has demonstrated it brutally. Local politics has taken the upper hand over addressing global issues. Governments are too busy dealing with domestic issues to dedicate sufficient attention and energy to multilateral negotiations, be they trade negotiations or climate negotiations….

The last question of course is why ‘Global Governance’? The answer is the transnational corporations want it. Borders, tariffs and local laws, officials and politicians are a royal pain in the rear. They cost time and money. You have to bribe not one set of officials and politicians but a set for each country. There is always a chance a greedy politician will ‘nationalize’ your business holdings. So something like the EU makes a lot of sense IF you can get American citizens to go along with it.

“Federal law prohibits the government from using private emails for official communications unless they are appropriately stored and can be tracked. Because things look suspicious at the EPA, the House Science Committee is investigating the possibility that the agency has conducted business it doesn’t want the public to see.”
I think we can expect a huge crowd trying all at once to hide behind the word “official.”

Interesting idea, but there are strong pressures in the other direction. Big companies may have more problems with international trade and business issues than smaller ones, but they also have more resources to deal with them. In the end, the advantage now probably belongs to the bigger entities. More “global governance” would give them more competition from smaller, more agile companies. And a more unified, worldwide governing entitiy would be able to regulate these companies worldwide. The paperwork might be easier, but they’d no longer be able to pick their venues, such as placing factories in places with less restrictive environmental laws, to avoid the really difficult regulations.
