What kind of conspiracy theories did he believe in?

ExxonMobil has knowingly misled the public for decades about the danger climate change poses to a warming world and the oil giant’s long-term viability, according to a peer-reviewed study.

An analysis of nearly 200 documents spanning decades found that four-fifths of scientific studies and internal memos acknowledged global warming was real and caused by humans.

The company also criticised journalists for having allegedly “cherry-picked” data in a way that unfairly put the company in a bad light, but the new study pushed back on that claim.

“We looked at the whole cherry tree,” Geoffrey Supran, a researcher at Harvard University and co-author of the study, told AFP.

As early as 1979, when climate change barely registered as an issue for the public, Exxon was sounding internal alarms.

“The most widely held theory is that... the increase in atmospheric CO2 is due to fossil fuel combustion,” an internal memo from that year read.

A peer-reviewed study by Exxon scientists 17 years later concluded that “the body of evidence... now points towards a discernable human influence on global climate”.

At the same time, however, the company was spending tens of millions of dollars to place editorials in the New York Times and other influential newspapers that delivered a very different message.

“The Harvard research shows systemic bias in sowing public doubt, while acknowledging the risks privately,” she said after reviewing the study’s main findings. “That is at the heart of the investigations.”

Shoulder, you didn't tell which side you believed in this battle of the Powers That Be.
Did you believe Rockefeller or Exxon? Let me have an answer, please.

I'm an environmentalist and believe we should be good caretakers of our planet.

In this case I think The Powers That Be are using Exxon as a scapegoat to take the blame for policies that they themselves ordered.

Monsanto is a similar front company for them in my opinion. The Powers That Be encouraged the use of GMOs and Round Up spraying...Monsanto was one of the public "faces" of these acts and carried them out...and now that the damage is done they are trying to merge Monsanto with Bayer.

When the lawsuits come for all the harm caused Monsanto might no longer even exist. And the people who orchestrated everything will still be around but invisible.

I know the Rockefellers had something to do with Exxon back then.
Who was behind Monsanto?

One of the top institutional shareholders of Monsanto is BlackRock Inc.

Here are some interesting links on them for you to consider:



1. The story of BlackRock, a modest participant at the Bilderberg conference
"In December 2009, BlackRock purchased Barclays Global Investors for $13.5 billion. As we see, BlackRock has a very intimate relationship with Barclays bank...The Rothschild-led Barclays Bank also held some staggering positions during the global financial crisis."

2. 4 Gold Stocks Billionaires are Buying in the Era of Trump
"With caution in mind, RIT Capital Partners, which is Rothschild's investment vehicle, has chosen to invest in gold stocks by owning Blackrock World Gold Fund. The fund's objective is total return, which it attempts to achieve by investing 70% of its assets in companies that mine for gold. At this point roughly 85% of its assets are in gold stocks, with around 12% in silver. Cash, copper, and diamonds make up the rest."

4. BlackRock Opens Tel Aviv Office to Tap Israel's Technology Edge
"The opening of the office on Tel Aviv’s trendy Rothschild boulevard also gives New York-based BlackRock, which oversees $5.4 trillion in assets, the opportunity to tap Israeli institutions increasingly seeking to invest abroad."

5. Blackstone and Jacob Rothschild, beneficiaries of Malaysia Airlines flight disappearance ?
"With the four Chinese patent-holders now missing and/or killed, this now leaves 100 percent ownership of the patent in the hands of the Texas-based Freescale Semiconductor Company, which, in turn, is partially owned by the shadowy Blackstone Group, a New York-based Private Equity-Investment Banking firm, owned by Israeli-British banker Jacob Rothschild...

It emerges that Blackstone begot BlackRock, which is run by double U.S.-Israeli national Larry Fink [4]. Beyond the interconnectivity at the upper echelons between, on the one hand, Blackstone, BlackRock, Rothschild, George Soros, Scotiabank, Evercore Partnership, Protego, and, on the other hand, Kissinger Associates and the controversial AIG insurance group, whose president is the US-Israeli Maurice Hank Greenberg, the corporate identity of Freescale Semiconductor warrants close scrutiny."

You see, Shoulder. That's why I can't be bothered with your crap . Why do you continue to believe unsubstantiated crap? That's why I tell you to share genuine sources with me, like this one:

Freescale says the employees onboard were technical staff travelling to the company's chip facilities for a review. A patent frequently cited by the conspiracy theorists does exist. But rather than being military in nature, it covers a system for optimising the number of circuits on a piece of semi-conductor material. And none of the four people mentioned as being the patent holder were on the plane.

I count 6 sources that I gave you in that post. Why did you choose to only focus on the last one?

And they were making some speculations in that last link, sure. But that's not why I posted it. The pertinent piece of information from there was the Blackstone/Rothschild connection. Something that even Snopes acknowledges is true on their page where they debunk the speculative part:

"Freescale is a public company whose stock is held, in part, by 152 different institutional shareholders. The Blackstone Group, at which Jacob Rothschild serves as a member of the company’s International Advisory Board, is one of the largest of those institutional holders (with over 196 million shares), but the Carlyle Group and TPG Group Holdings both own a number of Freescale shares equal to that held by Blackstone."

You should not have even posted number 5. It wasn't needed any at all in this equation. It wasn't a credible link. When you post that, you damage your reputation.

Do you believe number 5?

[ShoulderRoll]

By the way, siablo14...the Carlyle Group is a fairly well known example of the military-industrial complex. They have ties to Bush Sr, Bush Jr, George Soros, James Baker III and the Bin Laden family.

Based on that track record I went ahead and did a quick Google search on TPG Group Holdings just now. And look what I found: TPG Capital purchased the brokerage Cushman & Wakefield two years ago.

The significance of that? Between 1976 and 2007 Cushman & Wakefield was owned by the Rockefeller Group.
