Glenn Beck vs. Joel Rogers, King of the Progressives
If Fox News commentator, Glenn Beck is right, Joel Rogers may be the man behind Obama and the entire Progressive Movement. Not a far stretch as Progressives got their start in Wisconsin, where Joel teaches law, political science and sociology at the University of Wisconsin. Thursday morning, Joel was a featured speaker at an Earth Day conference in Chicago on public transportation. Needless to say, he’s all for it!
But Beck has connected the dots on his magic blackboards (He needs about three or four now, at least!) as he ties Joel Rogers as the man behind most of the Progressive movement’s organizations. The focus of today’s program was the pending Cap and Trade bill, now in the Senate. Back in the early 1990s, Obama and his close friend and adviser, Valerie Jarrett, arranged for funding Chicago’s Climate Credit Exchange from the Joyce Foundation. The exchange is already trading carbon credits, the core to Cap & Trade. Such an exchange is a must have to institute the program.
Next, Beck relates how Franklin Raines, one of Obama’s principal fund raisers in 2008, had purchased the technology for managing Cap & Trade while the head of Fannie Mae. Why would Fannie Mae, a mortgage lending entity, invest in such software? As a Government Secured Enterprise, it gives Uncle Sugar a piece of a potential $10 TRILLION dollar prize.
Everybody is in on this caper. Beck uses the film “Oceans Eleven” (the crappy remake) as an analogy, but I think “Kelly’s Heroes” may be more to the point. Even the band and grave diggers are in on this scheme. The Apollo Alliance, ACORN, SEIU, AFL-CIO, Goldman Sachs, Al Gore, Vance Jones, Bill Ayers, and a partridge in a pear tree. At the center of them all, keeping everybody in synch, is Joel Rogers. He has his own group, COWS, which focuses on spreading the Progressive message in Wisconsin, Emerald Cities, which is into urban planning for the New World Order, and the Brookings Institute, to keep the egg-heads in line.
Joel Rogers belongs to just about all of them, or has ties through other cross-over groups like The New Party and Change to Win, where Andy Stern is now hanging out in since leaving SEIU. Another key player is Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins, who’s name pops up a lot, too. She’s CEO of Green for All, was a bigwig in the AFL-CIO, and works with a host of groups like Working Partnerships, USA, National Alliance for Fair Employment Partnership for Working Families and Emerald Cities. When you check out these groups, you will see people serving on several of them. It’s all one big happy Progressive family. Naturally, all are in favor of Cap and Trade. Is Beck hitting pay-dirt finally? Is Cap & Trade the next step towards a totalitarian state?
Agreed totally. My belief is that if each state is not a sovereign entity, why does each state have a Constitution of it’s own accord?
The federal government under the US Constitution was only granted 3 powers, national defense (includes border control) diplomacy, and insuring fair interstate commerce between the states.
The 9th and 10 Amendments of the US Constitution provide that all powers not enumerated belong to the people and each state, and the 10th is the opt out provision of the contract between the fed.gov and the states if the terms of the contract are violated.
Leftist progressives have done nothing but lie, cheat, and steal on a grand scale for the past century. Why would anyone think they are doing differently this time?
The only thing different this time is that it this is for all the marbles. If they succeed, there will be no escape anywhere in the world. They must be stopped.
We’d best get off our duffs and rabble rouse to the point that, come November, the American electorate is fully aware of what is happening and the consequences of Democrats and Rinos remaining in control of the House and Senate!
This is serious stuff!
Stunned silence re “Beck’s religion.”
Beck is the only press person in the world that I am aware of peeling this particular onion.
He is out there all by his lonesome, and needs our support!
Ayn Rand predicted this scenario in Atlas Shrugged. Little did I know when I first read AS as a 17 yr old in 1958 that I would live to see her fiction become our reality in 2010.
The lessons of AS were supposed to be used by the good guys, not as a template for the bad guys!
Great summary. I copied, pasted, and forwarded to my friends who are willing to listen.
That is EXACTLY right Taxman!
Many of us have known that "global warming" was a scam from the outset but God bless Glen Beck for peeling the onion and exposing what's behind the scam!
Every red blooded American owes Glen a great deal IMHO!
This is why I said on the threads earlier in the week that Glenn (and whomever he is working with, be it staff or otherwise) have uncovered the reason that 0bama, nobody state senator, was suddenly THE guy to be president, successfully defeating the Clinton Machine, of all things. Others on one thread pooh-poohed me, said the MOC's are the ones behind it, I stand by my theory. It was necessary for the presidency in order for this scam-scheme to be successful, not enough to have a majority of members in either Chamber -- the president is required to sign the legislation into law, since they couldn't be guaranteed Hillary Clinton wouldn't balk at the last moment (various reasons), they knew full well that because 0bama was in on it from the very beginning, he would most definitely sign the bill, hence ...
uh, can you say “corruption of the highest order”?!?
That was one of the loudest calls during Watergate, Nixon abusing the power of the office -- how can this be any different? Before federal office, 0bama aids in setting up a system to defraud the taxpayer, then once he is sitting in the Oval Office, he promotes the legislation (and will ultimately sign it) that directly benefits his cronies, again, at taxpayer expense.
Contrary to some who wish to keep their head in the sand, this is not some tinfoil hat, wacko conspiracy, it has been laid out and explained in quite simple terms by Beck.
But then, there were a whole lotta people back when (still today, as a matter of fact) who thought the whole Watergate scandal was nothing more than some yahoos breaking and entering a DC complex.
Thanks for your excellent post.
Thanks for the ping
Painesright:
Permission to use your summary to educate folks.
bump to post #22!
Bigun, it is worse than that. If the Rat Bastards behind this scheme are successful, they will have essentially enslaved all the world’s peoples.
WE MUST NOT LET THAT HAPPEN!

An embittered former Senator and Vice President Al Gore is seen here en-route back to prison after a federal appeals court refused to review his 20 year sentence for his lead role as spokesman in the “Climategate” fraud conspiracy.
The same court recently rejected the appeals of the lengthy sentences of the 137 alleged UN “scientists” – Gore’s co-conspirators – for falsifying data supporting so-called Cap and Trade legislation that trial testimony disclosed would have virtually destroyed what remained of the U.S. economy while unjustly enriching Gore and a cabal of insiders.
During his trial, Gore was notified by the Nobel Committee that he would have to return the large monetary prize and the gold metal awarded him in 2009. He told reporters that the last of his prize money had gone to the lawyers and Tipper pawned his medal when she left him for an achondroplastic dwarf NBA center and filed for divorce after his conviction.
“Confluence of Interest” generally explains “apparent conspiracy” .....except when there’s the mother of all scams at the heart of it...
