WARREN FOR PRESIDENT IN 2016

image

Warren’s 2003 book, “The Two Income Trap” criticized Hillary Clinton for supporting a bankruptcy bill she said was structured to favor corporate interests.  “As first lady, Mrs. Clinton had been persuaded that the bill was bad for families, and she was willing to fight for her beliefs. As New York’s newest senator, however, it seems that Hillary Clinton could not afford such a principled position . . . The bill was essentially the same, but Hillary Rodham Clinton was not.”

Bill Clinton allowed Rubin and Summers to work with the GOP to END the Depression Era protection that separated Basic Banking from Wall Street Casino Gambling called Glass-Steagle.  Clinton also allowed Rubin and Summers with GOP HELP the Derivatives Scams still SCAMMING CITIES, COUNTIES, COUNTRIES and MIDDLE CLASSES around the World.  These two HORRIBLE MOVES allowed by Clinton and GOP resulted in the MASSIVE SUB-PRIME HOUSING SCAMS and the 2008 BANKSTER CRASH with BAILOUTS TO TOO-BIG-TO-FAIL and PROSECUTE BANKSTERS AND SCAMMERS.

In addition Hillary was a strong supporter for the FAKED IRAQ WAR costing OUR Middle Class  $6+ TRILLION in wealth Transfer to MULTINATIONAL $BILLIONAIRES for two useless WARS.   The Bankruptcy law was a MASSIVE BANKSTER SCAM to HURT THE MIDDLE CLASS when they faced unemployment and/or Healthcare catastrophes.

“LOBBYISTS are people too.” — Hillary Clinton

Elizabeth Warren Distills Thomas Piketty’s book on Capital. “Trickle down does not work. Never Did!”

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/04/25/1294720/-Elizabeth-Warren-Distills-Thomas-Piketty-s-book-on-Capital-Trickle-down-does-not-work-Never-Did

Elizabeth Warren Simplifies Thomas Piketty: ‘Trickle Down Doesn’t Work. Never Did’, = Senator Elizabeth Warren weighing in on America’s Number 1 selling book by Piketty = Piketty’s thesis in “Capital in the Twenty-First Century” that “trickle-down economics definitely do not work.”

— Senator Warren -“Can we say that part again? ‘Definitely do not work.’

“Not as in that’s somebody else’s opinion or this comes out of a long-held political opinion. The data don’t lie on this. He’s got good historical data, and boy, what it shows is trickle down doesn’t work. Never did, doesn’t work. Just so we’re all clear on the baseline. I just saved you 1,100 pages of reading.”

— Senator Warren -“Can we say that part again? Trickle down ‘Definitely does not work.’

“You read his book and you just wanna say, ‘Ugh.’ Because it says over and over — look, I’ll tell you the basic theme: The rich get richer.”

— Senator Warren

“Here’s the hopeful part in Piketty’s book: Piketty makes the point that although the data keep documenting this (TRICKLE DOWN FAILURE) happening, it’s not like an act of nature. It’s not like gravity and you can’t fix it. Piketty’s book makes the point that how much equality there is … is a matter of the (TAX) policies you choose to follow and that, for example, progressive taxation and investment in everyone’s education helps to level the playing field.”

— Senator Warren

“It is a time when we made those investments that built America’s great middle class and we made those decisions — not we in this room, but our parents, our grandparents, they made those decisions. They said, ‘You put a cop on the beat so nobody steals your pension, you do that on Wall Street.’ But they also said, ‘You tax progressively and then you make those investments.’ For those who made it big, God bless ’em, that’s great, but they’ve gotta pay a piece of that forward so the next kid has a chance to make it big and the kid after that and the kid after that. That’s what defines America.”

— Senator Warren – Piketty proposes a “steeply progressive wealth tax” + a “beefed up inheritance tax.”

PIKETTY’S #1 BEST SELLER GETS RAVE REVIEWS AND MUCH FEAR FROM THE ELITISTS!

Piketty = French economist ‘rock star’ is ‘freaking out’ the super rich!

The Wall Street Journal says Piketty = “Revives Marx.”

NYT on Piketty = Calls him a “Rock Star.”

MarketWatch says = Piketty is a “policy challenge.”

Salon calls Piketty = “The right’s new public enemy No. 1” who has “conservatives terrified.”

Time says Piketty’s best-selling book = “Freaking Out the Super Wealthy.”

Mediapart, a French newspaper, calls Piketty’s Book = “C’est un bulldozer.” “It is a bulldozer.”

Bloomberg calls Piketty’s Work “The Most Important Book Ever.” = “Is All Wrong.”

Piketty documents economic inequality and wealth concentration from 1700 forward to find social and economic patterns. = We have Returned to 1920s pre-Great Depression Inequality.

image

TOOBIN IN New Yorker = Warren defiantly at odds with some big names in her own party:

Warren’s 2 INCOME book describes her opposition to a bankruptcy law reform bill that was written to benefit the financial industry. = In “Two Income Trap” book she describes briefing Hillary Clinton, when she was first lady, about the bankruptcy bill backed by the financial industry. “It’s our job to stop that awful bill,” Warren quotes Clinton as saying. But several years later, when the bill came up for passage, Senator Clinton voted for it. “The bill was essentially the same but Hillary Rodham Clinton was not,” Warren wrote. As senator, “she could not afford such a principaled position…” When the bill finally passed, in 2005, then-Senator Joseph Biden was one of its biggest backers. “Senators like Joe Biden should not be allowed to sell out women in the morning and be heralded as their friend in the evening,” Warren said.

FACT = WARREN has party operatives and donors who have pegged their hopes on her, BUT she’s got some operational differences with party leaders.

BROTHERS PROVIDE BASIS FOR NEW CLIMATE CHANGE REGULATIONS FOR COAL POWER

UPDATE:

SCIENCE IS EASY TO SEE FOR EVERYONE INCLUDING DENIERS:

Obama Executive Authority = 20% carbon emissions cut from coal-fired power plants over 6 years = Regulations written by EPA to tackle climate change = Implements Romney’s Cap-and-trade policy = Sets a national limit on carbon pollution from coal plants but each state can do it their way.

Obama intends “to make sure America is out front in putting together a global framework to preserve our planet.”

Options = Cut emissions using carbon capture + Use more wind and solar power + energy-efficiency technology + State cap-and-trade markets for buying and selling government-issued pollution permits. = A POTENTIAL DERIVATIVES SCAM. = “This EPA regulation will breathe life into state-level cap-and-trade programs.” — Peter Shattuck, of a Boston climate policy advocacy and research organization.

States = Considers nation’s two existing state-level cap-and-trade plans by Romney + Gina McCarthy = now in EPA = Offer an affordable and flexible way to comply with the new regulation. = “By trading on carbon credits, we’ll be able to achieve significantly more cuts at a lower cost.” — Anthony J. Alexander, FirstEnergy

John McManus, VP at American Electric Power = “We view cap and trade as having a lot of benefits….It could keep the cost down…to keep coal units running for a more extended period. There are a lot of advantages.”

Cap and trade = The cap is ratchet down pollution each year + Market will supposedly drive up the price of permits. = Supposedly creating an incentive for industries to invest in lower-polluting sources of energy.

States may join the northeastern CAP-AND-TRADE program already designed and tested. = “plug and play.” = The regional program has proved fairly effective = 40% drop in 9 states + States raised $1.6 billion in new revenue. = Christie of NJ has withdrawn from it and says it is useless.

BROTHERS PROVIDE BASIS FOR NEW CLIMATE CHANGE REGULATIONS FOR COAL POWER

Click for NYT Source Article by Coral Davenport

William Nordhaus, 72, Yale Economist = Created idea of a Carbon Tax and Model for pricing climate change = A leading contender for a Nobel Prize

image

“We’re uncertain about the effects of climate change the way we’re uncertain that smoking causes cancer.” William Nordhaus, Yale Economist

Bob Nordhaus, 77, Washington energy lawyer wrote provision in 1970 Clean Air Act = Now legal basis for landmark regulation of coal-fired power plants = Obama’s environmental legacy. = called Dynamic Integrated Climate-Economy model (DICE)

Robert and William Nordhaus = Brothers Battle Climate Change on Two Fronts

Nordhaus Brothers = Love New Mexico beautiful landscape + Economics of energy + Power of science = Family’s 50,000-acre sheep ranch

The Nordhaus brothers = Protect the earth with dispassionate scientific thinking and intellectual rigor = Work intertwined science and law = OPPOSITE OF KOCH BROTHERS GREED AT ALL COST!

The two believe that cutting carbon pollution is crucial to protecting the environment and the economy from the risks posed by climate change. = 99% of Scientists.

Optimal Solution = Carbon tax is far more effective and efficient than regulation.

Robert Nordhaus Sr. won a Supreme Court case giving Apache tribes the authority to levy fees on the oil companies that drilled on their native land.

Bob wrote Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act languishing in obscurity for decades = Now the legal rationale for Obama admin’s plan to regulate carbon emissions without a law passed by Congress = A powerful market effect + Best way to stave off the catastrophic impacts of a warming world. = 30+ countries passed carbon-pricing laws using DICE.

DICE = Models show that one ton of carbon pollution = $20 to $30 in economic damage X Global economy emits about 36 billion tons of carbon a year.

KOCH Conservative Heritage Foundation = Says DICE model “flawed beyond use for policy making” = “$Trillions of government policies and burdensome regulations.”

EPA = Justify the new regulation by showing the CARBON RULES economic benefits outweigh the costs.

New Mexico changed around Los Alamos = Weapons program expanded = Changed “from a pastoral economy, split between ranching, irrigated farming and extractive industries = To defense-related work with climate changes = Periodic droughts, that affected the family ski business and their lives outdoors.

WOMEN = GREEN = MOST IMPACTED

Green Movement = Dominated By White Dudes = Teddy Roosevelt and John Muir just hanging out in Yosemite

http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2014/05/white-men-run-big-environmental-organizations

97% OF SCIENTISTS say climate change happening in real time and it is Costly.

Corporate-backed disinformation campaigns by DIRTY FUEL LOBBY Continues its baseless MEDIA LIES.

White House released a landmark climate change report, underlining that “certain people and communities are especially vulnerable, including children, the elderly, the sick, the poor, and some communities of color.” = Developing world and rich countries alike.

Public opinion research in the US suggests women, Latinos, African-Americans, Asians and Native Americans are more concerned—and more directly affected—by climate change than other populations. But top of “Big Green” is as white and male as a Tea Party meet-up. = Trouble connecting with the public on climate change?

Greenpeace = Chose the well-known activist Annie Leonard as their president.

America is in the midst of a demographic transformation = By mid-century whites will no longer be the majority population.

Big Green had a once-in-a-generation chance to pass climate change legislation = Clubby, back-room negotiations with CEOs of oil and utility companies to get carbon cuts = Spectacular collapse.

Meanwhile, beyond Washington, and beyond the male-dominated preserves of Big Green, women activists are just getting on with the job—without that White House access or the expensive consultants paid for by the biggest of big donors.

BOLD NEBRASKA = Biggest victories for the environmental movement in recent years = Indefinite delay on the Keystone XL pipeline = A tiny environmental group led by President Jane Fleming Kleeb with just three paid staffers = Assembled an unlikely coalition of ranchers, Native Americans and other activists operating in one of the country’s most conservative states.

WOMEN = GREEN = MOST IMPACTED

“It was my famiIy company. I was out of it. But that’s what appalled me so much… I did not want my family, my Iegacy, my father’s Legacy (COMMUNlST SUPPORT OF USSR) to be based upon ORGANlZED CRlME….What KOCH was doing was taking all these measurements and then faIsifying them on run sheets. If the dipstick measured five feet 1O inches and one half inch, they would write down five feet nine and one half inches….Well, that was the beauty of the scheme. Because if they’re buying OlL from 5O,OOO different people, and they’re stealing two barrels from each person. What does that add up to? One year, their data showed they stole a 1,5OO,OOO barrels of OlL.”

 — WlLLlAM KOCH, 3rd brother in 1999, decided to take his BROTHERS to ClVlL COURT under the FaIse CIaims Act – “6O MlNUTES” Nov. 2OOO

KOCH played SKlMMlNG middlemen buying crude and selling it to a REFlNERY:

SKlMMlNG just a little off the top of each transaction on federal/Native American lands by “cheating measurements.”

“We in company referred to it as KOCH Method because it was a system for cheating producers out of OlL.”

— Mark WlLSON – One of 5O KOCH gaugers who testified

WAPO ARTICLE: Daniel Schulman “Sons of Wichita: How the Koch Brothers Became America’s Most Powerful and Private Dynasty.”

FACT: KOCH MENTALITY = EVERYTHING THAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA!

GOP = KOCH BROS! = ROVE THE OUTER OF A SPY EVEN LIKES THEM! = “Bless them for all they do,” he wrote in Time magazine.

1978 in a magazine he owned called Libertarian Review, Charles Koch called the GOP “the party of ‘business’ in the wors[t] sense” and blasted Republicans for advancing a doomed strategy that “has failed so miserably.”

National Review = Reliable defender of the brothers

Koch brothers = Don’t need to be DEMONIZED = THEY ALREADY ARE!

Kochs CARE ZILCH ABOUT SOCIAL ISSUES = THEY WANT TO WIN AGAINST SCROOGE Mc DUCK with the BIGGEST PILE OF LOOT!

Kochs don’t care about women, Latinos,or youth = ONLY MONEY!

Kochs = Rove made them GOP power brokers = Now what? MAXIMIZE MONOPOLY POWER AND LOOT! That is what! = THEIR Economic issues!

Koch = ANTI-SAVING THE PLANET + ANTI-ANYTHING GETTING IN THE WAY OF MORE $BILLIONS! That includes HUMANITY!

KOCH = WANT PRIVATIZED CORPORATE CONTROLLED EDUCATION BUT PREFER NO EDUCATION EXCEPT FOR THE ELITISTS LIKE THEM! IF YOU IGNORE THE RIPOFFS THEN THE KOCHS ARE AWFUL ANYWAY! THEY DON’T GIVE A CHIOT ABOUT HUMANITY!

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈▶

UPDATE:  SONS OF WICHITA:  GOLD SPOONS IN THEIR MOUTHS AT BIRTH + ALL THE BEST IN EDUCATION AND PRIVILEGES = KOCH BROTHERS!

Charles Koch Sr. Letter to his sons was found by junior in his early 30s saying, “You will receive what now seems to be a large sum of money.  It may either be a blessing or a curse.” = A blessing and a curse to his four sons: Frederick, Charles, and twins David and Bill = 4 BROTHERS bitterly fought for decades over their birthright, the oil and cattle-ranching their father left behind in 1967. = Scorched-earth legal skirmishes.

KOCH SR. = Present at the birth of the John Birch Society

KOCH = TOSS backs to Orwell, Huxley, Ian Fleming and others who identify the ultra-rich ruthless megalomaniacs with huge corporations corrupted by having TOO MUCH at birth. These authors had top security clearances and travelled the corrupting world of the rich = A dystopia world view of the mega wealthy in charge of running their slave-based society.

Koch Family = Dysfunctionality to dizzying heights run by a massively wealthy patriarch who ran the family like a tyrant and encouraged savage behavior among his 4 boys to toughen them up and make them into cold and emotionless loaners like their tyrant father. The father taught them to hate each other so that hating everybody else would seem part of the natural order and even nature. Taught to exploit and manipulate entire populations and nature’s resources for personal gain with NO remorse. Taught to be loaners and to despise and authority that tells them what to do — so naturally they hate government. They were taught FREEDOM is the ability as people of privilege to DO ANYTHING they want with NO concern for the masses. Raised in the prejudice that they were better than anyone or anything else.

Charles and David built Koch Industries into one of the largest private corporations in the world-bigger than Boeing and Disney-and they rose to become two of the wealthiest men on the planet.

Charles and David spent 40+ years trying to remake the American political landscape and mainline their libertarian views of NO GOV REGULATION AND NO TAXES. = CALL BIG GOV SCROOGE! = They Believe:  “I got mine and that is all that matters” – “Just leave me the HECK alone to do as I please in Exploiting both resources and people.”

Koch Brothers = Control GOP machinery within the Republican Party.

The other Brothers:  Bill built a multi-billion dollar energy empire all his own + Frederick lived an intensely private life of arts and historic homes and estates.

SONS OF WICHITA traces the conniving and complicated Koch lives as they BUILT ON THEIR FATHER’S WEALTH AND POWER. = A DYNASTY.

Political spending of Charles & David = RECORD HIGHS = $4OO+ MILLION (2012)

Two other brothers had their offices bugged by the DOMINATE BROTHERS.

BROTHERS who literally hate and threaten each other.

Charles Koch = A tyrant at the helm who HATES ANYTHING THAT STOPS HIM FROM DOING WHATEVER HE WANTS = INCLUDING GOVERNMENT + LOVES NOTHING MORE THAN MONEY + CARE ZERO ABOUT WHO GETS HURT OR DIES + WILLING TO CHEAT AND STAEL AS LONG AS HE GETS WHAT HE WANTS. = A COMPLETE SOCIOPATH.

Charles Koch = Makes J.R. Ewing look like a Boy Scout = But knowing it’s all true just makes it pathetic.

Libertarian Charles = Reclusive head of Koch Industries in Wichita

Younger brother David = NYC Philanthropist

Charles + David = Tea Party

Charles + David = makes “Dallas and Dynasty look like a playpen.”

Koch Sons = Marked forever by their father and his refineries for Stalin’s USSR + Fred Sr.’s beliefs = Exactly the Tea Party today

Charles and David Koch = “devised an ambitious, decades-long strategy to catapult their Libertarian-tinged ideology upon the nation….”

Koch Brothers = Symbol of EXCESSIVE MONEY = INFLUENCING politicians and elections = “bitter, bare-knuckled fighting for unlimited exploitation

Linda Solomon Wood = Publisher and editor-in-chief of The Vancouver Observer

Canada has shifted right = Koch brothers’ reach into Canada.

Canada’s largest leaseholders = Rivaled Shell + Canadian Natural Resources co

KOCHS = have 1.1 to 2 Million acres of the tar sands

Canadian people are disturbed but an ever-decreasing number of journalists bring that to people’s attention. = A lot of talk in Canada about foreign influence = very closeted and somewhat shadowed area.

Koch brothers = $500,000 BRIBE the Fraser Institute, which is a free-market privatization proponent with lots of influence in Canada = Think tank. = Many leaders spent time studying at the Fraser Institute.

Ezra Levant, founder of the Ethical Oil Movement website = Book on ethical oil = Argues buying oil from Canada is a better moral choice than Middle East = Spent a summer studying at the Koch institute in US.

A conservative, right-leaning institute in Montreal = Gets Koch money as well.

There is a double-standard in Canada that lets a foreign funded charity in to be doing political advocacy. Max is supposed to be 10% to do a little political advocacy.

Canadian federal government gone after 7 major progressive environmental charities in Canada = GOV budgeted an extra $8 million in 2012 just to audit environmental charities. Use GOV Power to target people that disagree with their policies on PIPELINES and trying to protect the environment?
