Two environmental groups that produce fake news stories for China, and that are in the forefront in trying to stop the Pebble mine, possibly because it would strengthen America's strategic metals position vs China, are now being investigated by congress.

Congressional Republicans have opened an investigation into a second U.S.-based environmental group over its ties to the Chinese government.

Top Republicans on the House Natural Resources Committee asked the World Resources Institute (WRI), an environmental advocacy group, to turn over documents related to its work with Chinese officials and their advocacy in the U.S.

“Since President Trump’s election, WRI political activities have turned to influencing state and municipal governments,” the lawmakers wrote. “In at least one governor’s office, WRI has embedded a senior environmental adviser and appears to exercise a high level of control of the government’s environmental agenda.”

WRI describes itself as a nonprofit “global research organization” that operates in more than 60 countries, including China.

WRI has been critical of the Trump administration and has tried to use its influence to undermine the Trump EPA and its environmental policies.

WRI is the second group Bishop and Westerman investigated for ties to China. Lawmakers asked the Natural Resource Defense Council (NRDC) for documents related to its Chinese ties in June.

NRDC has a two-decade relationship with China’s communist government. NRDC has relentlessly attacked the Trump administration, Bishop and Westerman said in their letter to the group.

Bishop and Westerman said NRDC and WRI activities mirror those laid out in reports on China’s “vast influence machine,” which it uses to shape its global image, including on environmental issues.

WRI has operated in China since 2008, and was issued a registration certificate in 2017 to work under “the guidance and supervision” of the Beijing Public Security Bureau and Chinese Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the lawmakers wrote.

“WRI leadership regularly interacts with senior Chinese government and Communist party officials and provides public support for Chinese environmental programs,” Bishop and Westerman wrote. “While WRI criticizes policies of the U.S. government, WRI is silent on Chinese human rights violations such as arrests of environmental protesters and the mass detention of ethnic minorities.”

“On important issues for Chinese leadership, WRI’s position appears to closely reflect China’s goals and objectives,” the two lawmakers added.

If these two MAJOR(GIANT) ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS ARE SHOWN TO BE CHINESE PAWNS, THEN THEIR ATTACKS ON PEBBLE MAY HELP PEOPLE TO REALIZE THAT THE ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS ARE JUST OUT TO HURT AMERICA, NOT HELP AMERICA OR ALASKA.

Another thing in Pebble's favor is the appointment of the new Alaska Lt. Governor. See the re-instated post 14463.
