How a Club of Billionaires and Their Foundations Control the Environmental Movement and Obama’s EPA
A new report was released today by the Senate Environment and Public Works committee, and it is damning. All this time that climate skeptics are accused of being in the employ of “big oil” is nothing more than a projection of their own greed.
Some excerpts:
Over 7.9 BILLION in funding between these groups.
Bill McKibben caught in a lie, he might be “scruffy” be he isn’t nearly broke as he once claimed:
The “epicenter” of funding disclosed:
The NRDC “mafia”
Josh wasn’t far off the mark:
Read the entire report here, then demand action from your legislators.

Ah, but far more insidious, the Obama-Pelosi-Reid policy (more specifically, his democrat party controllers, since Obama is too stupid to have come up with this himself) of NOT even providing a budget for 5 years IS allowing/requiring the FIRST highly-inflated, highly-pro-union/pro-subsidies “continuing resolution” of 2008-Januaury 2009 to remain “in use” for every one of Obama’s bureaucracies and government projects.
They DO NOT WANT a budget to be passed, and have not even allowed a VOTE on some 530+ house measures to begin the formal budget process in the Senate. “Continuing Resolutions? ”
Just fine. Keep the stimulus-fed, stimulus inflated money started in February 2009 coming to the bureaucrats as long as possible. Obama’s ABCNNBCBS news media will maintain the propaganda.

The tyrannical effect of not having to ask the taxpayers for money to fund the federal regime ramifies. Besides ruling without a budget, having the Fed invent money allows the president to rule via executive order & fiat, not restrained by fear of impeachment & ignoring court decisions. We are enduring extra-legal, extra-constitutional dictatorship.

(with 12 personnel earning between 60000 and 120000 annually and generous pensions)

WWF UK has 8 “officers” on a salary betweem £60K and £120K, ( $100K to $200K)
With a conservative estimate of 8% of these resources spent on climate change activism
gives about a hundred million US$ spent per year by these organisations. This does not
include the salaries of the employees involved in this activity.
Gravy train? What gravy train?
