       The Koch brothers have been largely sidelined in the news these
       days by, well, everything else, but that doesn't mean the pair
       of billionaire influence-buyers hasn't been busy. Donald Trump
       may have not been their first, second, or tenth preference to
       lead the conservative movement but they'll be dead in the cold,
       cold ground before they miss an opportunity to push through
       another round of tax cuts aimed specifically at benefiting
       themselves and their own businesses.
       In a major jolt of support for President Trump, the powerful
       political network overseen by conservative billionaire Charles
       Koch is launching a multimillion-dollar campaign to drive
       Trump's tax plan through Congress.

       They Do About It?[/center]

       Published on May 25, 2017
       Rex Tillerson now acknowledges climate change science, but as
       CEO of Exxon Mobile did he do anything about it? The New York
       State Attorney General wants to know says Investigative
       journalist [font=times new roman]David Hasemeyer[/font].
  HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/19.gif
       Agelbert NOTE: What will eventually come out is that Exxon AND
       every other fossil fuel Industry greed ball out there figured
       out way back in 1977 (or as far back as 1968!) that, yes they
       were polluting the planet and would be eventually forced to stop
       doing that.
       However, even as they came to that realization, the FACT that
       they had to change to a clean energy business model gave them
       heartburn when they looked hard at the energy generating
       process where they could no longer use the air, land and sea as
       an open sewer  ("externalized" cost somebody else would have to
       pay).  They came to the conclusion that Renewable Energy would
       NEVER provide the gargantuan profits they were used to with
       their polluting product. Actually having to abide by biosphere
       math, along with making Renewable Energy technology devices that
       people could take home and get energy when people wanted, not
       when Big Oil wanted, was very upsetting to their inner fossil
       fueler psychopath.

       WHY? BECAUSE they could NOT obtain a choke hold on the Renewable
       Energy spigot. It is also rather difficult to start wars and
       create price shock bonanzas from "scarcity" of wind or solar.
       Renewable Energy is bad for the WAR BUSINESS. War has always
       been Go[s]o[/s]D for the fossil fuel price shock "fun and
       games".[img

       />
       The bean counters in Big Oil realized that there is a huge
       distributed and democratized element to Renewable Energy. IOW,
       trying to centralize Renewable Energy would be like herding
       cats. So, they decided to DELAY the transition to Renewable
       Energy as long as possible through a malicious disinformation
       campaign specifically directed at doubting the science (i.e.
       discredit  climate scientists) that Exxon KNEW was accurate.

       To add criminal insult to mens rea injury, these fossil fuel
       crooks and liars PRETENDED to "embrace" SOME renewable energy
       (see British Petroleum HEAD FAKE to "Beyond Petroleum") while
       they were ACTUALLY doubling down on exploring for and exploiting
       new locations of, fossil fuels.

       That's right, boys and girls. The fossil fuel corporations have
       spent FAR MORE MONEY THAN WAS NEEDED TO TOTALLY TRANSITION their
       business model to Renewable Energy in searching for increasingly
       difficult to obtain fossil fuels. The behavior of these fossil
       fuelers is not just irresponsible, it is criminal.
  HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/d2.gif
       In criminal law, KNOWING an action will cause severe bodily harm
       to humans AND DECIDING TO DO IT ANYWAY, even though you have the
       money to change to clean energy, is called MALICE AFORETHOUGHT
       (MENS REA). IOW, Exxon and their partners in pollution for
       profit crime have been committing FRAUD based on profit over
       people and planet since at least 1977!
       For them to claim (the old "we are a corporation" TRICK) it was
       their "fiduciary duty" to "maximize profit" and stick with
       fossil fuels is like saying we have a "fiduciary duty" to rob a
       bank because it beats working for the money.
       Prison is too good for those fossil fuel corporate bastards.
       BUT, it would be a good start.  ;D

       [center]Paris Exit Was 'Victory Paid and Carried Out' by
       Republican Party for the Koch Brothers[/center]
       The 22 Republican senators who sent a letter to President Donald
       Trump last week urging the United States' withdrawal from the
       Paris climate agreement received more than $10 million dollars
       in campaign funds from fossil fuel interests.
       The two-page letter was signed by a number of Republican
       heavyweights from coal/gas/oil-rich states, including Senate
       Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Jim Inhofe of
       Oklahoma and Ted Cruz of Texas.
       The Guardian calculated that the 22 senators received a total of
       $10,694,284 from oil, gas and coal money in just five years.
       (See the breakdown below.)
       However, that sum does not even come close to the amount of
       undisclosed funds coming from the deep pockets of Charles and
       David Koch's coal, oil and gas conglomerate, Koch Industries,
       and other outside groups.
       As the Guardian explains:
       "Visible donations to Republicans from those industries exceeded
       donations to Democrats in the 2016 election cycle by a ratio of
       15-to-1, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. And
       that does not include so-called dark money passed from oil
       interests such as Koch industries to general slush funds to
       re-elect Republicans such as the Senate leadership fund.
       "At least $90m in untraceable money has been funneled to
       Republican candidates from oil, gas and coal interests in the
       past three election cycles, according to Federal Election
       Commission disclosures analyzed by the Center for Responsive
       Politics."
       Jeffrey Sachs, professor of economics and director of the Earth
       Institute at Columbia University, shared recently his views on
       Trump's climate walkout.
       In an interview with Bloomberg Surveillance, Sachs referenced
       the senators' letter and specifically cast blame on the
       billionaire oil barons for pulling the strings of Republican
       party leaders such as McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan, who
       both supported exiting the Paris accord.
       "This is the victory paid and carried out for 20 years by two
       people, David and Charles Koch," Sachs said. "They have bought
       and purchased the top of the Republican party. Trump is a tool
       in this."
       Notably, most of the Republican signatories of the letter do not
       support the belief that human activity contributes to climate
       change.
       During an appearance on MSNBC, Democratic Sen. Edward J. Markey
       of Massachusetts explained why he thinks his Republican
       colleagues do not believe in the science of climate change.
       "This Conservative party in the United States is funded by the
       Koch brothers [and] it's funded by the coal industry," Markey
       said. "[They] insist that Scott Pruitt—the Attorney General of
       Oklahoma that actually sued the EPA 19 times on clean air, clean
       water, soot, mercury issues—becomes the head of the EPA in our
       country."

       A group of CEOs which often lobbies for policies that support
       the fossil fuel industry, the Business Roundtable, has led the
       effort to insert the language restricting shareholders' rights.
       The group sent a letter to Trump economic advisor Gary Cohn
       advocating for the changes. The letter also called for delaying
       the EPA's rules to protect people from harmful ozone pollution,
       called for an overhaul of the Clean Power Plan, and called for
       the complete reversal of the Waters of the US rule to prevent
       pollution of streams, rivers and lakes. Those are all positions
       that other utility industry trade groups have fought, while
       individual utilities have sought to avoid the publicity of
       attacking popular anti-pollution rules.

       oil spill.[/center]
       Bodo Village, Nigeria - In 2008 and 2009, a 55-year-old pipeline
       owned by Shell ruptured twice, throwing up 600,000 barrels,
       according to UK court claims, of crude oil into the surrounding
       creeks of the Niger Delta.

       In 2015, after many years of battles with campaigners, Shell
       announced it would pay out $83.2m in compensation for the spill.
       This was split up among the community. Most families received
       about 600,000 naira ($3,000). Yet after more than eight years
       that have passed, the community is still waiting desperately for
       the cleanup efforts promised to them. The creeks and shores of
       this once thriving fishing community remain decimated by the oil
       damage.

       In January 2017, a British court blocked a lawsuit brought
       against the Anglo-Dutch Shell company by the devastated Nigerian
       communities, saying it must be filed in Nigeria.
       On January 26, 2017, as reported by the Associated Press, Kay
       Holtzmann, the former director of the project funded by Shell to
       clean up the oil spills, wrote a letter saying there are
       "astonishingly high" levels of pollution affecting the Nigerian
       community.

       The letter was addressed to the chairperson of the Bodo
       Mediation Initiative, Inemo Samiama,  and outlined the potential
       health effect of the contamination on the Bodo community.
       "Although the locals are accustomed to their environment they
       are exposed to hazards and especially negative long-term effects
       on their health are unpredictable. The results dictate the need
       for a health screening of the Bodo people," Holtzmann stated.
       Joyful Paango, a resident in Bodo village, says she and her
       family have struggled with their health since the spill. She is
       concerned for her six younger siblings, who have been directly
       affected by the contamination. "I pray that God will take me and
       my family from Bodo one day."

       It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single utility in
       possession of an anti-solar regulatory board, must be doing
       something shady.
       Over the last several years, the Arizona Public Service Company
       (APS), the largest power provider in the state, has tried
       thwarting rooftop solar by getting utility-friendly candidates
       elected to the Arizona Corporation Commission, which regulates
       the state’s utilities. Now, APS is reportedly being investigated
       by the FBI for its political spending.
       In 2014, APS allegedly funded a political nonprofit that
       supported the candidacy of two utility-friendly Republican
       candidates for the regulatory commission. For most of its long
       history, APS steered clear of politics. But, in recent years,
       APS helped turn a bipartisan regulatory commission into a panel
       of anti-solar Republicans through targeted political spending.
       The investigation kicked off after the former chairman of the
       regulatory commission, Gary Pierce, was indicted for allegedly
       raising the rates for a water and sewer company in exchange for
       payments to his wife. The FBI probe of Pierce led to an inquiry
       into APS, which had allegedly tried to influence Pierce by
       contributing to his son’s campaign for Arizona secretary of
       state.
       The allegations of wrongdoing suggest the lengths to which
       embattled utilities are willing to go to protect their
       interests. It’s not that utilities oppose solar power, per
       se&#8202;—&#8202;many are investing in large-scale solar
       projects, but many utilities are opposed to customers generating
       their own electricity and selling it to the grid. Think of APS
       like a grocer who doesn’t want home gardeners selling vegetables
       in the town square&#8202;—&#8202;except this grocer enjoys a
       government-sanctioned monopoly.
       The FBI investigation will likely be lengthy, and may not result
       in anything. But if it does, it could be game over for the APS
       monopoly.
