Obama’s Political Payback: Green Corruption –– Part Two - Page 3

Gore sidestepped the questions and took a somewhat defensive posture, claming that "every penny" that he has made from "green" –– his movie, book and investments in renewable energy –– goes to his non-profit organization, "the Alliance for Climate Protection to spread awareness."

Spread awareness.  Hmm, OK we'll move ahead because more significant is the fact that Congresswoman Blackburn was onto something big!

OBAMA'S GREEN TEAM

Early in his presidency, Obama put together his Green Team and it comprised of a well-respected scientist as well as an array of global- warming activists, progressives, and left-wing radicals like Van Jones, who is part of the Apollo Alliance –– the left-wing group that helped draft the "green" in the 2009 stimulus package (ARRA). 

At this point we'll take a peak at Gore's "awareness" organization. Coincidently, the Assistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change is Carol Browner, who prior to her position in the Obama administration was a board member of the Alliance for Climate Protection. In fact, Browner and Gore go as far back as the late 80’s and early 90’s when she worked as legislative director for then Senator Gore. Browner also spent time on the board of the Center for American Progress (CAP) –– the Soros-funded liberal organization –– and according to Bloomberg.com, "a squadron of CAP experts" worked with president Obama's transition team. Looking deeper into CAP you'll discover it's an organization very popular with the Apollo group as well as being the middle of the green movement. Additionally, despite Browners' controversial ties to Socialistic International –– a worldwide organization who “seeks to establish democratic socialism" and other radical ideas like "global governance," she was still "chosen" as Obama's Climate Czar. 

Also, Cathy Zoi served as the CEO of the Alliance for Climate Protection until she was appointed as the Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) –– positioning her to “manage the U.S. Department of Energy's $2.3 billion applied science, research, development, and deployment portfolio.” Moreover, Ms. Zoi “oversees EERE's $16.8 billion in funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.”

Apparently, "a number of former Venture Capitalists (VC) jumped ship last summer and are now executing President Obama’s green power policy," including Jonathan Silver, who in November 2009 Energy Secretary Stephen Chu announced him as a new team member of the Department of Energy (DOE).  Silver is now the Executive Director of the Department's loan program office and oversees the U.S. Department of Energy's Loan Guarantee Program that was "kicked into high gear" with the Obama administration, as well as the $25-billion Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) loan program, both discussed in Green Corruption Part One.
