Woah!… Wikileaks Documents Show Obama Administration Used Spying, Threats & Bribes to Get Support for Copenhagen Accord
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, December 4, 2010, 12:38 PM
Good grief. The Obama Administration used their Chicago-style street thug tactics to spy on and threaten countries who opposed the Copenhagen global warming junk science accord.
And, here we thought they reserved the use of their Alinsky-style tactics on opponents here at home. Boy, were we wrong.
(Ya Libnan)
The Obama Administration spied on, threatened and bribed countries to support the Copenhagen Accord. The accord would have devastated American business and manufacturing.
The Guardian reported:
Embassy dispatches show America used spying, threats and promises of aid to get support for Copenhagen accord
Hidden behind the save-the-world rhetoric of the global climate change negotiations lies the mucky realpolitik: money and threats buy political support; spying and cyberwarfare are used to seek out leverage.
The US diplomatic cables reveal how the US seeks dirt on nations opposed to its approach to tackling global warming; how financial and other aid is used by countries to gain political backing; how distrust, broken promises and creative accounting dog negotiations; and how the US mounted a secret global diplomatic offensive to overwhelm opposition to the controversial “Copenhagen accord”, the unofficial document that emerged from the ruins of the Copenhagen climate change summit in 2009.
Negotiating a climate treaty is a high-stakes game, not just because of the danger warming poses to civilisation but also because re-engineering the global economy to a low-carbon model will see the flow of billions of dollars redirected.
Seeking negotiating chips, the US state department sent a secret cable on 31 July 2009 seeking human intelligence from UN diplomats across a range of issues, including climate change. The request originated with the CIA. As well as countries’ negotiating positions for Copenhagen, diplomats were asked to provide evidence of UN environmental “treaty circumvention” and deals between nations.
But intelligence gathering was not just one way. On 19 June 2009, the state department sent a cable detailing a “spear phishing” attack on the office of the US climate change envoy, Todd Stern, while talks with China on emissions took place in Beijing. Five people received emails, personalised to look as though they came from the National Journal. An attached file contained malicious code that would give complete control of the recipient’s computer to a hacker. While the attack was unsuccessful, the department’s cyber threat analysis division noted: “It is probable intrusion attempts such as this will persist.”
The Beijing talks failed to lead to a global deal at Copenhagen.
It’s a good thing the US media is ignoring this story. It might reflect poorly on the Obama Administration.
They certainly don’t want that to happen.

So we have a worldwide jihadist threat facing us, and the CIA is tasked by the Obama adminisitration to spy in the service of pushing environmental junk science? It only makes sense in light of the ultimate end game—iron-fisted central government control over our economy (think: cap-and-trade).

Kaffirgirl is right to a point. She just didn’t go far enough forward. Not just central control over our economy but the world’s economy. World Governance is the end game and our traitor-in-chief if working overtime (between vacations and basketball games) to bring it about.

I have to tell you, I know these leaks are embarassing to TheWon’s regime, but try as I might I cannot see these State Department leaks as anything close to a bad thing. Sunshine is the best disinfectant and it would be hard to do any more damage to our national reputation than has already been done.

The Guardian, Ya Libnan and Gateway Pundit all reported today that the Obama Administration used spying, threats and bribes to gain support for the Copenhagen Accord.
As revealed in this video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMe5dOgbu40 ), The Copenhagen Accord’s purpose was to hand over the Sovereignty is the United States of America to an unelected Communist world government.
When in the history of America or the planet has there ever been more clear-cut evidence of high treason.
Congress and Americans must insist upon immediate impeachment and criminal prosecution right now.

Notice how this article admits the Administration is a dirty bunch of thugs but first defends it because ‘global warming poses a danger to civilization’.
There is no manmade global warming. This is all a giant ponzi scheme to move money into the pockets of the superwealthy while destroying America.

Any way I thought I found the one but it cut off the sound and him speaking.. He was holding a blow horn and was standing with his cousin on a plat form.. But if I remember right it was a pick up truck with a bunch of the Kenyan males all around. Oh, well I just thought him saying:
“Democracy can’t work with out Freedom of the Press and Freedom of Information” I just felt it very important to be able to shove his words down hisdlieing throat! When I saw that video I thought his words were very strange considering what was happening here with the corrupted media.

all the leaks have been filtered to push an agenda. this is just another series of leaks to hide the wimpy, dispassionate,clueless moniker obama has been receiving from the foreign press. this leak, instead, tries to promote obama as a skillful, heavy handed champion of global warming. the lamestream media won’t report on the constitution end around by the EPA. the media won’t report on the devastation this will cost our economy and the effect on the global economy. this isn’t just blatant case of treason. there is a terrorist inside the white house.

Everyone on here’s talking about how the administration and government in general’s so bad. It IS. It is bad. That’s true, and I agree. But what’s going to change? Absolutely nothing. Not the way things presently are. And you know what? WE the people (sheeple) are doing absolutely NOTHING about it but cracking little, stupid, wanna-be-witty jokes about it on sites like these. The whole while, the government itself is laughing all the way as it continues to enslave us more and more. If we “know” the government is as corrupt as it is . . . then why don’t we band together and do something about it? Cuz we don’t want to loose our house? our nice Mercedes? our jobs? our nice pensions? Heck those are already GONE the way things are going at this point!
We need to wake the f*** up. As a people – as citizens – we’re going down and we’re going down fast. And we’re just standing by casually making witty jokes about how smart we are for “knowing all along it was headed this way”.
We need to DO something about it.
