Church of England Invests in Al Gore’s Ponzi Scheme
Capital Research Center ^ | December 30, 2008 | Matthew Vadum

Penny wise, pound foolish? In a breathtaking leap of faith, the Church of England has decided to gamble £150 million on global warming alarmist Al Gore's sketchy investment firm, Generation Investment Management (GIM).

What makes the investment so risky is that GIM stands to make a killing only if the U.S. government cracks down on carbon dioxide emissions.

We previously examined Al Gore's adventures in climate change finance in the August 2008 edition of Foundation Watch and before that in the August 2007 edition of Foundation Watch.

Maybe they have inside info that this scam is going to be stuffed down our throats whether we like it or not. It would be interesting to see who has invested in Al’s scheme. If his investors are primarily political and financial elites then we (the common taxpaying citizen/slave) lose once again.

This might be why so many foreigners donated so much money in getting Barack the Kenyan elected. Their “investments” in the Goracle’s ponzi scheme depended on it.

“It would be interesting to see who has invested in Al’s scheme.”

Goldman Sachs, #1. They own chunks of the actual carbon exchanges.

This is why Christianity is falling behind Islam in the number of believers - idiotic decisions based on politically correct social beliefs.
