Crime Inc.: What the 'Greening of America' Really Means

It's a safe bet that most Americans' first exposure to the concept of carbon trading or cap-and-trade legislation came during the most recent presidential campaign when both candidates advocated the need to make protecting the environment a government mandate instead of the moral obligation it's always been. In the past few months President Barack Obama has repeatedly stated that a comprehensive energy/environmental law, including cap-and-trade, is an absolute priority of his administration. Cap-and-Trade Simply put, the idea behind the cap-and-trade plan is this:

The federal government would set limits or cap the amount of pollutant a business could create. If the business chose to emit levels exceeding the cap they would have to find a business not using its full allotment and purchase the surplus from them.

“Fannie Mae Chief Executive Officer Franklin Raines, two of his top underlings and select
individuals in the "green" movement were inventing a patented system to trade residential carbon credits.
Patent No. 6904336 was approved by the U.S. Patent and Trade Office on Nov. 7, 2006 --
the day after Democrats took control of Congress. Former Sen. John Sununu, R-N.H.,
criticized the award at the time, pointing out that it had "nothing to do with Fannie Mae's charter, nothing to do with making mortgages more affordable."

"It wasn't about mortgages. It was about greenbacks. The patent, which Fannie Mae confirmed it still owns with Cantor Fitzgerald subsidiary CO2e.com, gives the mortgage giant a lock on the fledgling carbon trading market, thus also giving it a major financial stake in the success of cap-and-trade legislation."

CAP-N-TRADE

[cripplecreek]

These 4 bills were all introduced on the same day in the Michigan legislature. People have asked when the energy producers aren’t screaming bloody murder about it but they stand to gain a great deal. They’ll produce less energy, charge more for what they do produce, and then sell the carbon credits from reduced production at a profit.

House Bill 6069 (Increase mandated state power production declines )
Introduced by Rep. Gary McDowell (D) on April 22, 2010, to revise the mandating that natural gas utilities reduce the amount of energy they provide by .75 percent each year beginning in 2013. The bill would require that beginning in 2015 utilities reduce the amount of gas they provide by 1.5 percent, and 2.0 percent beginning in 2016.

House Bill 6068 (Increase mandated state power production declines )
Introduced by Rep. Joan Bauer (D) on April 22, 2010, to revise the mandating that natural gas utilities reduce the amount of gas they provide by .75 percent each year beginning in 2013.

House Bill 6067 (Increase mandated state power production declines )
Introduced by Rep. Lisa Brown (D) on April 22, 2010, to revise the mandating that natural gas utilities reduce the amount of gas they provide by .75 percent each year beginning in 2013.

Obama: My Plan Makes Electricity Rates Skyrocket

...the politicians are threatening to pass laws that would kill industrial production in Colorado. The Union of Locomotive Engineers demands that the maximum speed for all trains on the Rio Norte Line be reduced to 60 miles per hour, and the Union of Railway Conductors and Brakemen demands that the length of all trains on the line be reduced to 60 cars.

Likewise, the states of Wyoming, New Mexico, Utah, and Arizona demand that no more trains run in Colorado than in any of these neighboring states.

A group headed by Orren Boyle demands the passage of a Preservation of Livelihood Law, which would limit the production of Rearden Metal, and other businessmen demand passage of a Fair Share Law, which would give an equal amount of Rearden Metal to any customer who wants it....

Socialist rulers have passed a series of directives in accordance with the demands made by the unions, Colorado's neighboring states, and mooching businessmen. A special tax has been levied on Colorado so it can assist its financially needier neighbors.

Any of this sounding familiar yet?

Just three weeks after filing for a patent for his carbon trade system, Bartels was killed during the attacks of 9/11.

So nice of them to admit this. I should sue them for infringement of my free market environmental management business method patent, finally granted this year, the application of which predates theirs as it was filed in March 2001. My system has real accountability in it; theirs does not.

Does somebody know how to get this to Beck? He needs to talk to me anyway about the whole enviro-racket and what to do about it. I'm nearly a decade ahead of him.

A must read for the followers of Climate Change Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Al Gore, Franklin Raines, the obamaniation; the entire RAT party, Limpy Lindsey Graham; GE, Cisco the Joyce Foundation; Fannie Mae, et al, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.

[BOBTHENAILER]

Great idea-—get ahold of Beck. Don’t know how to guide you there, maybe one of the FReepers following the climate change sleight-of-hand could help-—like Steel Your Faith maybe?

.....Franklin Raines, the obamaniation..

Raines cooked the FM books creating losses of $9B (that we know of) to create bonuses for himself .......The Securities and Exchange Commission said Raines broke accounting rules by playing with risky derivatives.

Yet he walked away w/ $90 million dollars, a $26 million parachute PLUS a MONTHLY pension of $116,300 for life.

Raines owns options giving him $5.8 million in net profit after redeeming them, plus another $8.7 million in deferred compensation for his six years at the helm. Raines has already collected $4.87 million in special performance shares this year.

He keeps $5 million of paid-up life insurance. He and his spouse get free medical and dental benefits for life, worth over $1 million.

Raines earned $20 million in salary, bonuses and stock awards (that we know of) in one year.

After he was fired, Raines told the FM board that he's entitled to get paychecks until next June 22 giving him another $600,000, which triggers a $2,000 monthly raise in his lifetime pension. He also says he's entitled to disputed options with a gross value of about $5.6 million.

To keep Raines happy within philanthropic circles, Fannie Mae will match Raines' charitable contributions by $10,000 a year.

Franklin Raines looted and pillaged Fannie Mae as Clinton's appointee. Now he's hooked up with Ohaha. Does that mean the Clintons get a cut of the CCX scam? (/snix)

[BOBTHENAILER]

Absolutely superb research on a charter member of Climate Change, Inc., a criminal enterprise. In Franky’s case, spinning from the looting of Fannie into an oh so warm and fuzzy sideline of stealing from the sheeple.

[Liz]

Thanks for the ping.

Here's something else you may want to add to the Frankie file, the Fannie Mae executive who brought down Wall Street.

Franklin Raines: was a Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Fannie Mae. Raines was forced to retire from his position with Fannie Mae when auditing discovered severe irregularities in Fannie Mae's accounting activities.

At the time of his departure The Wall Street Journal noted, " Raines, who long defended the company's accounting despite mounting evidence that it wasn't proper, issued a statement late Tuesday conceding that "mistakes were made" and saying he would assume responsibility as he had earlier promised. News reports indicate the company was under growing pressure from regulators to shake up its management in the wake of findings that the company's books ran afoul of generally accepted accounting principles for four years."

Fannie Mae had to reduce its surplus by $9 billion. Raines left with a "golden parachute valued at $240 Million in benefits.

The Government filed suit against Raines when the depth of the accounting scandal became clear. http://housingdoom.com/2006/12/18/fannie-charges/

The Government noted, "The 101 charges reveal how the individuals improperly manipulated earnings to maximize their bonuses, while knowingly neglecting accounting systems and internal controls, misapplying over twenty accounting principles and misleading the regulator and the public.

The Notice explains how they submitted six years of misleading and inaccurate accounting statements and inaccurate capital reports that enabled them to grow Fannie Mae in an unsafe and unsound manner."

These charges were made in 2006. The Court ordered Raines to return $50 Million Dollars he received in bonuses based on the mis-stated Fannie Mae profits.

(Did he ever return the money?)

Great post. This massive scam is finally being illuminated.
