Shore Bank

The following was sent to me by Larry P. It is a tale of greed and crime being foisted upon the American public.

I quote the entire article, with a link to the source at the end.

This is an interesting story put together from various articles and TV shows by the British Times paper. It shows what Obama and his friends are
really all about. It's not hope and change, it is money.


I warn you, the first part is a little boring, but stick with it. The
second part connects all the dots for you (it will open your eyes). The
end explains how Obama and all his cronies will end up as multi-billionaires.
(It's definitely worth the read. You will not be disappointed).


A small bank in Chicago called SHORE BANK almost went bankrupt
during the recession. The bank made a profit on its foreign micro-loans (see
below) but had lost money in sub-prime mortgages in the US. It was facing
likely closure by federal regulators. However, because the bank's executives
were well connected with members of the Obama Administration, a private
rescue bailout was arranged. The bank's employees had donated money to
Obama's Senate campaign. In other words, Shore Bank was too politically
connected to be allowed to go under.


Shore Bank survived and invested in many "green" businesses
such as solar panel manufacturing. In fact, the bank was mentioned in one
of Obama's speeches during his election campaign because it subjected new
business borrowers to eco-litmus tests.


Prior to becoming President, Obama sat on the board of the JOYCE
FOUNDATION, a liberal charity. This foundation was originally established
by Joyce Kean's family which had accumulated millions of dollars in the
lumber industry. It mostly gave funds to hospitals but after her death in
1972, the foundation was taken over by radical environmentalists and
social justice extremists.


This JOYCE FOUNDATION, which is rumored to have assets of 8 billion
dollars, has now set up and funded, with a few partners, something called
the CHICAGO CLIMATE EXCHANGE, known as CXX. It will be the exchange (like
the Chicago Grain Futures Market for agriculture) where Environmental
Carbon Credits are traded.


Under Obama's new bill, businesses in the future will be assessed a tax
on how much CO2 they produce (their Carbon Footprint) or in other words
how much they add to global warming. If a company produces less CO2 than
their allotted measured limit, they earn a Carbon Credit. This Carbon
Credit can be traded on the CXX exchange. Another company, which has gone
over their CO2 limit, can buy the Credit and "reduce" their
footprint and tax liability. It will be like trading shares on Wall Street.


Well, it was the same JOYCE FOUNDATION, along with some other private
partners and Wall Street firms that funded the bailout of Shore Bank.
The foundation is now one of the major shareholders. The bank has now
been designated to be the "banking arm" of the CHICAGO CLIMATE
EXCHANGE (CXX). In addition, Goldman Sachs has been contracted to run the
investment trading floor of the exchange.


So far so good; now the INTERESTING parts.


One Shore Bank co-founder, named Jan Piercy, was a Wellesley College
roommate of Hillary Clinton. Hillary and Bill Clinton have long supported
the bank and are small investors.


Another co-founder of Shore Bank, named Mary Houghton, was a friend of
Obama's late mother. Obama's mother worked on foreign MICRO-LOANS for the
Ford Foundation. She worked for the foundation with a guy called Geithner.
Yes, you guessed it. This man was the father of Tim Geithner, our present
Treasury Secretary, who failed to pay all his taxes for two years.


Another founder of Shore Bank was Ronald Grzywinski, a cohort and close
friend of Jimmy Carter.


The former Shore Bank Vice Chairman was a man called Bob Nash. He was
the deputy campaign manager of Hillary Clinton's presidential bid. He also
sat on the board of the Chicago Law School with Obama and Bill
Ayers, the former terrorist. Nash was also a member of Obama's White House
transition team.


(To jog your memories, Bill Ayers is a Professor at the University of
Illinois at Chicago. He founded the Weather Underground, a radical
revolutionary group that bombed buildings in the 60s and 70s. He had no remorse
for those who were killed, escaped jail on a technicality, and is still an
admitted Marxist).


When Obama sat on the board of the JOYCE FOUNDATION, he "funneled"
thousands of charity dollars to a guy named John Ayers, who runs a dubious
education fund. Yes, you guessed it. The brother of Bill Ayers, the terrorist.


Howard Stanback is a board member of Shore Bank. He is a former board
chairman of the Woods Foundation. Obama and Bill Ayers, the terrorist,
also sat on the board of the Woods Foundation. Stanback was formerly employed
by New Kenwood Inc. a real estate development company co-owned by Tony Rezko.


(You will remember that Tony Rezko was the guy who gave Obama an amazing
sweet deal on his new house. Years prior to this, the law firm of Davis,
Miner, Barnhill & Galland had represented Rezko's company and helped
him get more than 43 million dollars in government funding. Guess who
worked as a lawyer at the firm at the time. Yes, Barack Obama).


Adele Simmons, the Director of ShoreBank, is a close friend of Valerie
Jarrett, a White House senior advisor to Obama. Simmons and Jarrett also
sit on the board of a dubious Chicago Civic Organization.


Van Jones sits on the board of Shore Bank and is one the marketing
directors for "green" projects. He also holds a senior advisor position for black studies at Princeton University. You will remember that Mr.Van Jones was appointed by Obama in 2009 to be a Special Advisor for Green Jobs at the White House. He was forced to resign over past political activities, including the fact that he is a Marxist.


Al Gore was one of the smaller partners to originally help fund the CHICAGO CLIMATE EXCHANGE. He also founded a company called Generation Investment Management (GIM) and registered it in London, England. GIM has close links to the UK-based Climate Exchange PLC, a holding company listed on the London Stock Exchange. This company trades Carbon Credits in Europe (just like CXX will do here) and its floor is run by Goldman Sachs.


Along with Gore, the other co-founder of GIM is Hank Paulson, the former
US Treasury Secretary and former CEO of Goldman Sachs. His wife, Wendy,
graduated from and is presently a Trustee of Wellesley College. Yes, the
same college that Hillary Clinton and Jan Piercy, a co-founder of Shore
Bank attended. (They are all friends).


Interesting? And now the closing...


Because many studies have been exposed as scientific nonsense, people
are slowly realizing that man-made global warming is nothing more than a
money-generating hoax. As a result, Obama is working feverishly to win
the race. He aims to push a Cap-and-Trade Carbon Tax Bill through Congress
and into law.


Obama knows he must get this passed before he loses his majority in
Congress in the November elections. Apart from Climate Change he will
"sell" this bill to the public as generating tax revenue to reduce
our debt. But, it will also make it impossible for US companies to compete
in world markets and drastically increase unemployment. In addition, energy
prices (home utility rates) will sky rocket.


But, here's the "KICKER" (THE MONEY TRAIL). If the bill passes, it is estimated that over 10 TRILLION dollars each year will be traded on the CXX exchange. At a commission rate of only 4 percent, the exchange would earn close to 400 billion dollars to split between its owners, all Obama cronies. At a 2 percent rate, Goldman Sachs
would also rake in 200 billion dollars each year.


But don't forget SHORE BANK. With 10 trillion dollars flowing though its accounts, the bank will earn close to 40 billion dollars in interest each year for its owners (more Obama cronies), without even breaking a sweat.


It is estimated Al Gore alone will probably rake in 15 billion dollars
just in the first year. Of course, Obama's "commissions" will be held in trust for him at the Joyce Foundation. They are estimated to be over 8 billion dollars by the time he leaves office in 2013, if the bill passes this year. Of course, these commissions will continue to be paid for the rest of his life.


Some financial experts think this will be the largest "scam" or "legal heist" in world history. Obama's cronies make the Mafia look like rank amateurs. They will make Bernie Madoff's fraud look like penny ante stuff.

As the protests over the GZ mosque continue

we will get a plethora of articles by Muslim authors such as the one below.

They will all demand we shut down freedom of speech and religion because we have insulted them by protesting against their speech and religion. They will also contain veiled threats of violence if we don’t.

Editor's note: Akbar Ahmed is professor and Ibn Khaldun Chair of Islamic Studies at American University in Washington. He is author of "Journey into America: The Challenge of Islam," Brookings Press 2010.

(CNN) -- In less than a month, Pastor Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center in Florida plans to host "Burn a Quran Day" to mark the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

The pastor, author of the book "Islam is of the Devil," is using the burning to urge American Christians to "stand up" to what he describes as a monolithic Muslim threat. A Facebook page for the event has accrued thousands of "likes" and Jones has said people have been mailing him Qurans to burn.

As a Muslim scholar, an adherent of one of the Abrahamic faiths -- Judaism, Christianity and Islam -- and as someone committed to interfaith understanding, I urge Jones to cancel this event. Not only are the actions of Jones contrary to the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, but they are also against the ideals of the American Founding Fathers.

Has anybody explained to the author that religious freedom lets people do whatever they want? Even establish mosques at GZ? (sarcasm alert)

The planned burning has already caused alarm in the Muslim world, with the pre-eminent Sunni university, Al-Azhar in Cairo, Egypt, condemning it as "stirring up hate and discrimination."

At a recent dinner in Washington, a host for one of Pakistan's top TV channels confided in me that he "didn't dare" report the story because if he did, "not a single American would be safe in Pakistan." He and the cameraman were quivering with anger as they asked me to explain why Americans hated Islam.

I tried my best to explain this was not the case, but Jones' burning will have great symbolic significance to a Muslim world already feeling under attack by the United States. It will cause undue harm to U.S. relations with the Muslim world and particularly the war effort.

You know, that sound like a threat to me. Someone needs to tell the TV exec that when churches can be built in SA and Iran we’ll try and get a handle on the book burning. Until then…(Think of the Italian Salute!)

Gen. David Petraeus, the head of American forces in Afghanistan, has repeatedly expressed the need for winning the "hearts and minds" of local people by treating them with dignity and respect. When Afghans see that their holy book is being burned, it will cause riots and attacks that will put U.S. troops further at risk. There will be similar riots and attacks in neighboring Pakistan and Iran. It will inflame the entire Muslim world and fuel acts of terrorism

.

This is just a repeat of the “Don’t you dare offend Muslims” argument. I think it is time to tell them that if they want to be treated as equals then they have to respect others as much as they demand respect.

Let me know when they start.

It could also inflame anti-Muslim sentiment in the United States, especially in the context of the anger over the proposed Islamic center near ground zero in Lower Manhattan.

Then withdraw the plans. I mean, for the dozenth time. IF YOU WANT RESPECT GIVE RESPECT.

Many American Muslims will feel as if they are second-class citizens and it could push some angry young men toward violence.

Well, I hope not. But that’s why we have police, national guard, etc.

On my recent fieldwork trip to 100 mosques in 75 American cities with a team of American researchers for the book "Journey into America: The Challenge of Islam," we documented that many mosques had been attacked, sometimes bombed. In May, not far from Jones' church in Gainesville, a pipe bomb exploded in a mosque in Jacksonville.

You know, that’s shameful and I hope that find the perp and put him in jail. But that doesn’t mean we have the right to shut down free speech and freedom of religion.

As objectionable as the prospect of Jones' Quran burning is, it may not cease with the holy book of the Muslims. I have always maintained that this kind of vitriolic hatred of one religion is a descent on a slippery slope, as no one can say who will be next. I was not surprised, therefore, when I heard Jones recently agree, when asked to do so in an internet podcast interview, to burn "a couple of copies of the Talmud" too.

Not only does the burning of holy texts reflect the darkest days of medieval Europe and Nazi Germany, but it is hard to think of anything more un-American, by the definition of the Founding Fathers themselves.

Ah, the old slippery slope argument. I am sure the Baptists are trembling with fear…. But snarking aside…. Freedom of religion and freedom of speech must rule… or at least that is what Mayor Bloomberg tells us.

George Washington welcomed the Jews to America as the "stock of Abraham" while John Adams showed the utmost respect for Islam, naming the Prophet Mohammed as one of the greatest truth seekers in history. Benjamin Franklin called him a model of compassion.

Well, there was that small matter of pirates on the shores of Tripoli and demands for tribute that we had to take care of. Other than that Muslims just kinda faded away for the next two hundred years.

And, of course, no radical Muslim had driven a burning carriage into buildings in NYC.

Evidence that Obama is a Muslim

Evidence for the Proposition That Obama's a Muslim: His father was a Muslim; his mother, an atheist, married two Muslims; he attended a Muslim school in Indonesia from age 6 to 10; and, during the campaign, he proudly posted on his webpage his statement that America is "no longer" a Christian nation, a statement he has repeated as president, while announcing on French TV that America is "one of the largest Muslim countries in the world."

Ya gotta love Coulter!
