Media Ignore Al Gore's Financial Ties to Global Warming

As NewsBusters reported here, here, and here, there are huge
dollars to be made from global warming alarmism. However,
conceivably no one is better positioned to financially benefit
from this scam than Dr. Global Warming himself, former Vice
President Al Gore, a fact that the media will surely not share
with Americans any time soon.
Yet, if America's press would take some time out of their busy
schedules covering the earth-shattering details surrounding Anna
Nicole Smith's demise, they might find a deliciously inconvenient
truth about the soon-to-be-Dr. Gore that is significantly more
fascinating and diabolical than anything likely to emerge from
that courtroom in Broward County, Florida.
As reported by Dan Riehl (emphasis mine throughout):
Former Vice President Al Gore has built a Green money-making
machine capable of eventually generating billions of dollars for
investors, including himself, but he set it up so that the
average Joe can't afford to play on Gore's terms. And the US
portion is headed up by a former Gore staffer and fund raiser who
previously ran afoul of both the FEC and the DOJ, before Janet
Reno jumped in and shut down an investigation during the Clinton
years.
Think Katie, Charlie, or Brian will be all over this tonight?
Regardless, that was just the tip of the questionably melting
iceberg as reported by Bill Hobbs in Nashville, Tennessee:
[H]ow Gore buys his "carbon offsets," as revealed by The
Tennessean raises serious questions. According to the newspaper's
report, Gore buys his carbon offsets through Generation
Investment Management:
Gore helped found Generation Investment Management, through which
he and others pay for offsets. The firm invests the money in
solar, wind and other projects that reduce energy consumption
around the globe.
Gore is chairman of the firm and, presumably, draws an income or
will make money as its investments prosper. In other words, he
"buys" his "carbon offsets" from himself, through a transaction
designed to boost his own investments and return a profit to
himself. To be blunt, Gore doesn't buy "carbon offsets" through
Generation Investment Management - he buys stocks.
Fascinating. So, as Dr. Global Warming travels the world in his
private jet while spending 20 times the average American on
energy for his home, all the time telling us its okay because he'
s buying carbon offsets, he's actually purchasing these
investments from himself.
Furthermore, and maybe more important, Gore stands to benefit
financially in a potentially huge way if more and more people buy
into this junk science.
Isn't that special?
Yet, it is not clear that Gore's money is going to purchase
carbon offsets at all. Riehl reported:
Here's a list indicating what it takes to make money along with
Al. Funds associated with these companies have placed millions of
dollars under Al Gore's control. And, as you'll see below, Gore's
selection for the US President of GIM might raise a few eyebrows
as well.
AFLAC INC - AQUANTIVE INC - AUTODESK INC - BECTON DICKINSON & CO
BLACKBAUD INC - GENERAL ELECTRIC CO - GREENHILL & CO INC -
JOHNSON CTLS INC - LABORATORY CORP AMER HLDGS - METABOLIX INC -
NORTHERN TR CORP - NUVEEN INVTS INC -STAPLES INC - SYSCO CORP -
TECHNE CORP - UBS AG - VCA ANTECH INC - WATERS CORP - WHOLE FOODS
MKT INC
According to their own documents, GIM intends to invest in, or
buy companies poised to cash in on Global Warming concerns.
Putting this in perspective, for years the left and their media
minions have posited that George W. Bush started war with Iraq to
benefit the company Vice President Dick Cheney used to run,
Halliburton, as well as Bush's oil tycoon friends. In fact, there
have been times when you couldn't swing a dead cat in any
pressroom in this nation without hitting a reporter working on
such a story.
Yet, as the former Vice President continues to plug global
warming as a coming crisis in need of immediate attention, the
same media completely ignore his obvious financial conflicts of
interest.
No liberal media bias there.
However, as Riehl pointed out, this story is even juicier:
To add insult to injury, Gore chose Peter S. Knight, an old
friend and colleague some are sure to recall, as the US President
of GIM.
Peter S. Knight, formerly Managing Director Met West Financial,
lawyer, Chief of Staff for Senator Al Gore (D-TN) from 1977-1989,
and Campaign Manager for President Clinton's successful
re-election in 1996, is President of Generation U.S.
This would be him: Reno Rejects Inquiry Into a Clinton Aide
Atty Gen Janet Reno decides against any further investigation of
Peter Knight, Pres Clinton's 1996 campaign manager in connection
with office building development in nation's capital; such an
investigation could have led to naming independent counsel to
look further into activities of Knight, who is also former top
assistant to Vice Pres Al Gore.
Yes, thanks to Janet Reno, no one ever found out how $20,000 in
stock turned up in an account for Knight's then 13 year old
child.
Dispute over Democratic Party campaign-financing shifts to
Zachary Knight, 13-year-old son of Peter S Knight, Clinton-Gore
campaign chairman in 1996, who was given $20,000 in stock by
William Haney 3d, chairman of Molten Metal Technology Inc;
Republicans believe gift, which came after father was named
chairman of campaign, was really payment to Knight, who had
worked as $7,000-per-month lobbyist for company; Knight denies
involvement in any impropriety; photo
Riehl accurately asked:
If Gore's motivation in pushing Global Warming is so altruistic,
was it really necessarily for the already wealthy Gore to
establish a multi-million dollar corporation in England to cash
in? And given the history of Gore and Knight, are these people we
should trust to drive a re-vamping of the world economy at the
same time they're lining their pockets because of our much
smaller carbon footprints?
Riehl marvelously concluded:
If Al Gore is successful with this latest scheme, Gore and his
cronies are going to be much more $green$ than most of the earth.
And the only green in this for you and me is the kind that
accompanies envy as Gore trucks around on private jets putting
dollars to offset his extravagance into a cash machine generating
profits on the backs of the middle class with misrepresented
science that doesn't deserve to be called science at all.
Meanwhile, a complacent media, rather than hounding Gore over his
financial conflicts of interest, continue to shill for this
conman's junk science.
When you add it all up, this is a flimflam of epic proportions:
First, Gore sets up a company that will invest in other companies
that will benefit from global warming alarmism
Second, Gore gets some Hollywood types to fund and produce a
movie designed to scare the c-c-carbon out of the population
Third, Gore travels the world promoting this movie, while pushing
the view that a cataclysm is imminent if the world doesn't
immediately act
Fourth, an adoring media falls for the con hook, line, and
sinker. Rather than debunking the flaws in the theories, the
media promote every word of it while advancing the concept that
Gore's views represent those of an overwhelming majority of
scientists
Fifth, scared governments and citizens across the globe invest in
alternative energy programs driving up the shares of companies
Gore's group has already invested in
Sixth, Gore and his cronies make billions as they laugh all the
way to the bank at the stupidity of their fellow citizens
America - what a country!
