Clinton Appoints 'Climate Change Envoy' From Her Own Think Tank

In one of her first official decisions since being confirmed as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton on Monday appointed a special envoy on climate change who is currently a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress.

As NewsBusters reported in June 2007, CAP is led by former President Clinton's Chief of Staff John Podesta, and the list of all those involved reads like a Clinton administration Who's Who.

Not feeling the need to keep this secret, Hillary actually bragged to a group of liberal bloggers in October 2007 that she helped create the organization.

Now, according to the Associated Press, she has appointed someone from this institution to a newly-created post within the State Department:

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday appointed a special envoy for climate change, vowing that the Obama administration would restore America's credentials and leadership in shaping environmental policy.

Pledging that the United States would play a primary role in international efforts to stem global, Clinton named Todd Stern, a former White House assistant who was the chief U.S. negotiator at the Kyoto Protocol talks in her husband's administration, to the post. [...]

Prior to his appointment, Stern was a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress and a partner in the WilmerHale law firm. He served in the Clinton administration from 1993 to 2001, first at the White House, handling the Kyoto Protocol and follow-up talks in Buenos Aires and coordinating the president's Initiative on Global Climate Change.

Readers are encouraged to review a piece written by Matt Sheffield and myself last year which addressed how CAP was created in 2003 with seed money from George Soros as well as Herb and Marion Sandler. The goal was to take back government by infiltrating media with liberal outlets and views.

I guess it's working.

*****Update: Stern has been a financial supporter of Clinton and Rahm Emanuel.

Time for a million conservative

march on washington....THIS HAS TO STOP.....revolution....if not, you can bend over and kiss U.S. goodbye!!!

Two Words: GEORGE. SOROS.

Soros has literally created a coup to overthrow the US government in the last few years.  After dumping a few hundred million into the 2004 effort to decapitate Bush, he went covert and instead of just funding high profile 527s to run half a billion dollars in ads Soros created a host of front groups who operate with no media attention at all for the sole purpose of turning our entire Fedearl government over to a list of socialist candidates.

Soros has paid for, primarily created or solely sponsored:

ACORN - a 'community organizing' agenda which receives Federal funds to use minority activists to expand the number of people in large cities who are enrolled in any conceivable entitlement program the Feds offer.  ACORN also receives money to register hundreds of thousands of minority voters as Democrats (they don't register Republicans and only go places where liberals are found to try to find new voters) as well as engage in voter fraud, registration fraud and voter suppression of political opponents.  ACORN also provides GOTV programs for liberal/socialist candidates and provides bodies for public protests or rallies for any leftist cause (for $8 an hour, you can rent yourself a mob to carry whatever signs you have printed for them - see ANSWER below).

Secretary of State Project - Elects S.O.S.'s in battleground states to ensure that recounts and bogus ACORN activities are never disputed and there is never another Florida 2000 again.   This ended up being very successful this year as the MN SOS helped Al Franken overturn the election of Norm Coleman to the US Senate and SOS in various battleground states where ACORN committed massive registration and voter fraud are helpfully being ignored or brushed under the rug.

Center For American Progress - a socialist 'think tank' which publishs 'studies' on every issue to give talking points level credibility to socialist arguments

ThinkProgress.com - a socialist networking site like Moveon.org to help promote and propagate new talking points and media stories covering their agenda (think: echo chamber)

International ANSWER - a socialist activist group which acts as the rent-a-mob and advance team for public protests anywhere in the U.S. on any issue on the socialist agenda (illegal immigration, abortion, Bushs impeachment, Israels attacks on Hamas, etc).  They are responsible for printing all the banners, signs and handouts at rallies and coordinating interest groups like NARAL, NOW, PETA, Anarchy Now, CAIR, Democrat Socialists of America and Code Pink.

Media Matters For America - a 'media watchdog' website and propaganda arm which monitors, attacks and distorts any media which opposes or fails to fall in line with the issued talking points from leftist leadership.  MMA was based on MRC but has the added benefit for the Left that it actually ISSUES talking points to lefties in the media to attack GOP politicians, disagreeable networks/publications and promote 'facts' which support leftists campaign issues.  MMA is almost solely responsible for putting lies into lefty blogs, MSNBC, CNN and NPR about talk radio (since nobody in the media or on the Left actually listens to talk radio to find out what is true and there is no daily transcript of Rush Limbaugh for the media to lazily search instead of calling Rush for a quote or comment)

Democracy Alliance - a 527 which essentially distribute money, coordinates the agenda across the other Soros funded front groups.

And my list here is a small sample.  For even more of the Soros attempt to overthrow America society and government, try this site:

This is just the

This is just the beginning...we ain't seen nothing yet.

If others haven't read the links that ns posted here...they are eye-opening...I've had my own for years now, and also have posted here over time.

Soros is smiling...not quite ear to ear yet...but he will be with time.

Be afraid...very afraid.

Fasten your seat belts....it's going to be a long, bumpy ride.

The genie is officially out of the bottle

Things are going so great, there's not enough diplomatic challenges, so she's gonna start meddling with climate change? Stick to your job, jerk.

I guess she'll be appointing a universal healthcare envoy, too?

Is it 2012 yet????

Is it 2012 yet????

The next hurdle in the

The next hurdle in the creation of the super-ginormous-monster-nanny state is to try to get the sheeple to believe that it's really, really hot when it's really, really cold. Most of America right now is covered in one continuous sheet of ice. How will they get the 'bama bots to believe that it's getting warmer? How will they get them to believe that those icycles hanging from the eaves are an example of a warming trend?  If the climate is changing at all, it's becoming a colder climate. And how do you stop "climate chage" anyway? Hasn't that been happening for hundreds of thousands of years?  The climate is changing like it's supposed to. How are these numbskulls going to stop it? 'Special envoy on climate change' - completely worthless title designed to do nothing more than further the aims of the eco-propagandists.  How about appointing an special envoy on sunshine, too. I'm sure if we can find a way to blot out the sun maybe we can make some of this terrible global warming go away.

Todd Stern:  "Uh yes Hillary, the climate certainly is changing, yesiree......we'll need to press Congress for more funds to study this."

Makes me ill.

The climate is changing, all right...

the climate in Washington is changing big time...to socialism...and there are huge storm clouds on the horizon...Conservatives have to stop being the silent majority...time to get vocal every chance we can...

warm and cold

We had Al Gore Warming here last week in Longmont Co. It was in the 60s and 70s so I went for some T-shirt hikes. It's back to Global Cooling now, didn't get up to 20 today and there's 3 or 4 inches of snow outside. This should prove something conclusively! with a consensus even!

George Carlin said it best, "The weather will continue to change for a long long time." Remember to dress appropriately.

m1... Heck..it was 15

m1...

Heck..it was 15 below last night/early morning here in NW Mt., we got up to a heat wave of 9 above....at this exact time now it back to 0.

Supposed to be snow tomorrow evening and onward though....goody, it's going to be warm enough to produce snow...can't wait.

I just love this global warming stuff!

The AGW indoctrination is

The AGW indoctrination is continuing with public funds at the local level.  Here is a class offered, not mandatory yet, in an "informative" series by the City.  I am tempted to attend the class and see what develops.  Below is the description of the agenda.

Description: Global warming refers to the increase in the Earth’s temperature. The cause has been linked to the emissions of greenhouse gases like CO2 into the atmosphere as a result of the burning of fossil fuels & anthropogenic activities. This class will cover the science of global warming, its impact on our ecosystem & health, along with a wide range of impacts on plants and wildlife

I think I would like to see the "science" they are pushing.

Nuke em til they glow then shoot em in the dark.

Dan...

.....you should go to this "Class" if for nothing else, after you present the FACTS, to watch all those brains explode from the Truth!

 

Carefull though....it would be like going to a Gallegher concert, where when he uses his "Slicer Dicer" on pies and fruits, peices exploding all over !!!!!

Let us know how it goes, should be fun!

Just like a Lib.  They

Just like a Lib.  They think they can control everything, including the weather.

Did Orwell predict the future?  Or are the enemies of freedom following Orwell's example?

algore agw meeting in Washington DC will be canceled ,snow

and COLD

FREEDOM
