Townhall – Marita Noon – 3/31/2013
Though air pollution is a
worthy consideration, it is low on the public’s
list of priorities, while gas prices are of utmost importance. If the
public doesn’t see air pollution as a problem, and the President’s popularity
has peaked,
why would he put out policy that would hit the middle class the hardest?
Because, despite his campaign
rhetoric, he’s not “a warrior for the middle class.”
One year ago, Christine
Lakatos launched her blog—
“The Green Corruption Files”—through which she set out to prove that “green
corruption is the largest, most expensive and deceptive case of crony capitalism
in American history. To date, I’ve written fifteen
columns based on her research—this is the sixteenth.
A week ago, she posted her
expose on George Soros and his profiting from his, apparent, insider
information on green-energy investments. Within her post,
Lakatos says: “be prepared for regulations and legislation that will, in some
form or another, resemble cap-and-trade and demand additional funds to bank
roll Obama’s efforts to save our planet.”
New EPA standards on
gasoline were released. The standards will raise the cost of fuel—which has
been the underlying goal of the Obama energy agenda: make what works more
expensive so people will accept the high cost of “green energy” in the name of
saving the planet. (Outgoing Energy Secretary Chu's 2008 statement:
“Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels
in Europe .”)
But, as the Soros story
shows, it’s not about the planet, it’s about the profit. Soros’ investment
portfolio shows he invests where he can make money—both traditional
and green energy (though, as you’ll see, through Obama’s green energy emphasis,
he has more control over green energy investments).
In a 1998, 60 Minutes
interview, Soros said: “I am basically there to make money. I cannot and do not
look at the social consequences of what I do.”
Soros was instrumental at
the least, integral at the most, in writing Obama’s 2009 Stimulus Bill that put
nearly $100 billion into various green energy companies and projects.
Additionally, there is a little-publicized connection between Soros, green
energy advocacy, and the White House.
Since buying access, Soros
has been a frequent White
House visitorand met with Obama’s, then, top economist Larry Summers—exerting
his influence.
The Soros-funded Apollo Alliance brags
about its role in writing the 2009 Stimulus Bill. In an interview,
the best-selling author of Throw
Them All Out, Peter Schweizer, states: “Billionaire George Soros gave
advice and direction on how President Obama should allocate so-called
‘stimulus’ money in a series of regular private meetings and consultations with
White House senior advisers even as Soros was making investments in areas
affected by the stimulus program.”
So, what return has Soros
gotten on his stimulus-inspired stock buying spree plus investments in
companies like First Solar and Solar
City
As save-the-planet
regulations and legislation come out of the Obama administration, which raise
costs for the middle class and hurt America
It illustrates that Obama is
not the "warrior for the middle class" he campaigned as, but he's
most concerned about creating wealth for his "green cronies"—of which
Soros is just one. This new EPA low-sulfur gasoline proposal is just the latest
in a series of green regulations.
We don’t know for whom it
creates wealth, but we know it isn’t the middle class.
