Tar Sand Oil From Canada...


If you can see lightening and smell dogie doo, you will have no problem understanding that you are not going to get any sort of investigative reporting out of any main stream media outlet in the United States or the rest of the world for that matter. There is a leftist, green agenda with these organizations that would embarrass news organizations of the '40's, '50's and '60's.

With the singular exception of CBS, who has done some noteworthy reporting on Fast and Furious, the debacle that the Department of Justice, DHS, FBI, ICE and ATF have found themselves embroiled, there is no investigative journalism.

The advent of the Internet has spawned a whole new cadre of citizen journalists and their venue is the blogosphere. Anyone with a smart phone that can take photographs and video and access to the internet can be a Bob Woodward or a Carl Bernstein. Bloggers today are reporting events that the news media ignores, is unaware of, or simply because of their political bend choose not to report.

Some of these blogger "news outlets," like the Daily Caller, do some incredible investigative reporting and, as such, become places where “tips” end up sent by people like you and me. The DC then determines what to do with the information and reports on it.

In one of their columns today, they report on a Power Point presentation that they were able to obtain that shows a Rockefeller Brothers Fund ($790 million dollar fund) where they “proposed to coordinate and fund a dozen environmental and anti-corporate activists groups' efforts to scuttle pipelines carrying tar sands oil from Canada to the United States.”

The actual Power Point presentation is linked in the piece.  

If anyone doubts that "Big Money" is behind this green, leftist, progressive movement, they should start doing a little investigative sleuthing of their own.  Things like global climate change, oil exploration, nuclear power, rain forests, saving whales, etc. are rarely what they appear at first blush.  Charities like WWF and Greenpeace are out there to make money for the few at the heads of the organizations.

There is always an agenda.  Normally, to get to the agenda all one has to do is follow the money.

  1. Wasn't it Al Gore who had this gorgeous table made out of old growth forest wood? Not to mention his huge houses and extensive private jet travel?

    And wasn't it the Sierra Club's president who was caught trucking into the cabin he was building old growth wood?

    The agenda IS always money but I think it's also trying to 1) redistribute income 2) gain power over people's lives 3) limit the growth of population to urban areas and big block buildings.
