“Climate change” - which I haven’t perceived at all whatsoever throughout my life (despite what the media keeps forcing on me) my life which has been mostly lived in one area, “climate change” is the pretext for a lot of change which seems to favor only the ultra wealthy.
I became much more suspicious of “climate change” when I read how extremely hard John Podesta was pushing it in his emails. The truth does not need that level of pressure and funding. I’m focusing on this book because the author was discredited by John Podesta and his friends in the Podesta emails. My hypothesis was that there must be some truth here in this book and that is what we are exploring.
This increased focused came after I just so happened to receive yet another frivolous lawsuit - which is an illegal act called abuse of process. A lot of sneaky crimes have been targeted at me since I helped expose some information about the NXIVM operation. It makes me wonder if criminals are after me?
Suing someone for upholding the truth is a massive subversion of justice and it’s an extremely expensive and risky card to play. Who would do such a thing?
The person who appears to be suing me seems like he’s in no financial position whatsoever to do so. What’s really going on?
Persecuting someone for telling the truth is a losing move when one’s crime empire rests on nothing but illusions.
Courts are supposed to be for stopping crime, not for upholding it. Anyone except a criminal would agree me with me on that.
One of the Keystone XL pipeline's biggest shareholders was none other than TD Bank, which held $1.6 billion in shares. TD Bank was also on the hook for $993 million it had loaned to TransCanada. TD Bank, in a research note, called the pipeline a “national priority" that was essential for the long-term health of the Canadian oil industry.
There had been talk since June 2008 that Barack Obama, having sewn up the Democratic nomination, would pick Hillary as his secretary of state. On November 21, 2008, the New York Times reported that Hillary would indeed be his nominee to head up the State Department. Four days later, on November 25 and 26, Bill was in Canada delivering his first of three speeches, for which TD Bank paid him $525,000.7 But the Clintons were only getting started.
Hillary was confirmed as secretary of state on February 21, 2009. In May Bill returned to Canada and gave three more speeches for another $525,000, making appearances in Halifax, St. John, and Toronto. Four months later, on September 13, TD Bank sponsored yet another appearance, this one for $175,000 in Toronto.
On November 3, 2009, TD Bank paid him another $175,000 for a speech in Abu Dhabi. On May 20, 2010, Bill spoke for another $175,000 in a speech underwritten by TD Bank, this time in Calgary.
Many of these TD-sponsored events were "private affairs," not open to the public or the press. At several of the speeches, Clinton was introduced or interviewed by TD Bank vice chairman Frank McKenna. A former Canadian politician and former ambassador to the United States,
McKenna is described in the Canadian press as "a good friend of both Bill and Hillary Clinton." His interest in the Keystone XL pipeline went beyond his role as an executive with TD Bank. McKenna also sits on the corporate board of Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (CNRL), a heavy-oil producer that planned to use the pipeline to move its oil to the United States.
When the pipeline project ran into rough opposition in Washington, McKenna became a vocal advocate. When President Obama decided to delay review of the project until after the 2012 elections, McKenna questioned whether Canadians were being "screwed" by the decision.
Given Hillary's role in green-lighting the project, she naturally became the focus of intense lobbying efforts. In addition to suddenly throwing almost $2 million at Bill, Canadian corporations with an interest in the project hired several senior aides from Hillary's presidential campaign to assist them in their efforts.
The lead lobbyist for TransCanada was Paul Elliott, who had served as the deputy national campaign director on Hillary's 2008 presidential campaign. E-mail correspondence released through the FOIA reveals that US State Department officials advised TransCanada on how to build support for the Keystone Pipeline even as the department was conducting its review on whether or not to approve it.
One of those communicating with Elliott was Nora Toiv, a special assistant to Hillary Clinton. The chummy nature of the correspondence between Elliott and senior officials in the State Department enraged environmental groups. "I think we've gone way beyond bias," said Damon Moglen, the director of the climate and energy program for Friends of the Earth. "We now see that the State Department has been complicit in this entire affair."

TransCanada certainly seems to have gotten its money's worth from Elliott. Meanwhile the provincial government of Alberta, where the oil sands were located, hired another Clinton aide. Hilary Lefebre, who served as the director of broadcast media strategy for Hillary's presidential campaign, received a $54,000 consulting fee to "blunt" criticism of the project from environmental groups.
Environmental activists continued to accuse the State Department of failing to offer a truly independent review of the Keystone XL project. To offer an environmental assessment, State hired a company called Environmental Resources Management (ERM). But there was a problem: environmental activists pointed out that ERM had financial ties with TransCanada.
State Department officials attempted to cover that fact up, redacting the biographies of the study's authors to hide their previous work for TransCanada.
Meanwhile, in May 2011 Bill was paid $280,000 for appearances in Fredericton and Antigonish. The Clinton speech submissions to State Department ethics officials (per the Obama administration memorandum of understanding described in chapter 1) didn't indicate that TD Bank was a major investor in Keystone XL.
Three months later, in August, the State Department released a final environmental impact statement that was seen as largely supportive of the pipeline. Throughout the process, Hillary remained relatively quiet. The political winds for Democrats were difficult. While organized labor favored the deal, environmentalists, Hollywood, and numerous high-dollar contributors opposed it.
By late 2011 events appeared to be reaching a crescendo. As hearings commenced in Washington, Hillary sent word that there should be no Canadians present. "Canadian officials saw the request as a suggestion that Ms. Clinton supported the project, and didn't want a Canadian presence to further disturb the peace." And there was muted evidence that Hillary was quietly pushing the deal through.
At an appearance at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, she had been asked about energy policy in general and the Keystone XL pipeline in particular. While explaining that she had not yet decided whether to approve the project, Hillary declared, "we are inclined to do so, and we are for several reasons."
She touted the project on the grounds of "energy security." "We're either going to be dependent on dirty oil from the [Persian] Gulf or dirty oil from Canada," she said, leaving the audience with the impression that she favored the latter.
