Greed, climate change and wealth redistribution

Billionaire Greene, Who Bet Against Subprime, Goes Long on U.S. While Bemoaning Jobs Crisis


Billionaire Jeff Greene, who amassed a multibillion dollar fortune betting against subprime mortgage securities, says the U.S. faces a jobs crisis that will cause social unrest and radical politics.

“America’s lifestyle expectations are far too high and need to be adjusted so we have less things and a smaller, better existence,” Greene said in an interview today at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “We need to reinvent our whole system of life.”

The 60-year-old founder of Coral Gables, Florida-based Florida Sunshine Investments said his biggest fund was up more than 20 percent last year with bets on Apple Inc., Google Inc., bank stocks and mortgage-backed securities.

“I’m remarkably long for my level of pessimism,” he said. “Our economy is in deep trouble. We need to be honest with ourselves. We’ve had a realistic level of job destruction, and those jobs aren’t coming back.”

Greene, who flew his wife, children and two nannies on a private jet plane to Davos for the week, said he’s planning a conference in Palm Beach, Florida, at the Tideline Hotel called “Closing the Gap.” The event, which he said is scheduled for December, will feature speakers such as economist Nouriel Roubini.

“I live in Palm Beach, where no one wants to hear bad news,” he said. “We need to have an event where people aren’t just focused on predicting the price of oil.”

Greene says he has no investors or partners and manages about $2 billion in financial investments, more than $750 million in real estate and at least $1.5 billion in assorted property development projects.

The billionaire said he’s planning on having dinner tonight with former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair, and will attend several private meals and parties throughout the week.

And now you understand the Carbon Con. The global redistribution of all wealth.

In a recent interview, Ottmar Edenhofer the co-chair of the United Nation's IPCC working group removes ALL doubt as to the goals of the global warming fear mongers:

"Basically it’s a big mistake to discuss climate policy separately from the major themes of globalization."

"But one must say clearly that we redistribute defacto the world’s wealth by climate policy."

"One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has
almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore."


Greene, among other billionaire democrats like George Soros helped ferment and plant the seeds to what would become the second worst economic collapse since the Great Depression in order to bet against our economy and amass a fortune from our misfortune. The ultimate in greed. Now they are in Davos scheming up ways to redistribute our wealth and keep everyone else beneath them monetarily.

On a side note, it was just recently revealed that George Soros funded many of the radical leftist groups that agitated the incidents surrounding the Ferguson, Missouri riots;

Imagine that, radical left crony capitalist billionaires attempting to incite division among Americans in order to create more wealth and control for themselves. That is truly the ultimate definition of greed...

Hawgzy, do you buy that??? Americans should just get use to a smaller lifestyle and be happy???? This coming right after the report that say's, "by 2017 1% of the population will own 50% of all the worlds wealth." Of course the fool that's quoted in the article is one of those 1%ers.

There is nothing in the Bloomberg article supporting the claim that Greene created (or even promoted) subprime mortgage securities, only so that he could profit by betting against them. Greene is a self-made billionaire who is concerned that we face an economic/job crisis which threatens "cause social unrest and radical politics". The factors he cites (globalization, technology-advances) are right on the money.

Which leads us to the second part of your nonsense, the asinine comment:


And now you understand the Carbon Con. The global redistribution of all wealth.

Let's look at the quotes you provided in context:


That does not sound anymore like the climate policy that we know.

Basically it’s a big mistake to discuss climate policy separately from the major themes of globalization. The climate summit in Cancun at the end of the month is not a climate conference, but one of the largest economic conferences since the Second World War. Why? Because we have 11,000 gigatons of carbon in the coal reserves in the soil under our feet – and we must emit only 400 gigatons in the atmosphere if we want to keep the 2-degree target. 11 000 to 400 – there is no getting around the fact that most of the fossil reserves must remain in the soil.

De facto, this means an expropriation of the countries with natural resources. This leads to a very different development from that which has been triggered by development policy.

First of all, developed countries have basically expropriated the atmosphere of the world community. But one must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy. Obviously, the owners of coal and oil will not be enthusiastic about this. One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore, with problems such as deforestation or the ozone hole.

"Wealth redistribution" is not a goal of climate policy, but a causal, de facto effect of that policy. And when we are talking about "wealth", we are talking about fossil fuel reserves, and the potential exploitation of those reserves to the detriment of the environment, brought about by globalization. Limiting the development of those fossil fuel reserves ultimately has an economic effect - it's not a conspiracy, just simple logic.

Of course, those who believe all this fear-mongering are the same idiots who think the SWP changes the levels at Castaic and Pyramid just to ruin the fishery and keep anglers away.

And finally......The Washington Times, The New American, and Freedom Outpost? Could you have picked sources which were any more agenda-driven?

I have absolutely no problem with anyone providing monetary support to activist groups. Of course, it's no surprise that "news" sources like The Washington Times go out of their way to link the rioting in Ferguson to the subsequent ongoing protest movement funded by Soros' Open Society Foundation. But tell you what Hawgzy - I'll support the defunding of such groups by Soros when I see equal support for the defunding of groups like the Tea Party by the Koch Brothers. Because astroturf is astroturf, no matter what the cause, n'est pas?
