Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[StephanieVanbryce]

"TASSC's headed notepaper names an advisory board of eight people. Three of them are listed by Exxonsecrets.org as working for organisations taking money from Exxon. One of them is Frederick Seitz, the man who wrote the Oregon Petition, and who chairs the Science and Environmental Policy Project. In 1979, Seitz became a permanent consultant to the tobacco company RJ Reynolds. He worked for the firm until at least 1987, for an annual fee of $65,000. He was in charge of deciding which medical research projects the company should fund, and handed out millions of dollars a year to American universities. The purpose of this funding, a memo from the chairman of RJ Reynolds shows, was to "refute the criticisms against cigarettes". An undated note in the Philip Morris archive shows that it was planning a "Seitz symposium" with the help of TASSC, in which Frederick Seitz would speak to "40-60 regulators"."

Convicted felon Sun Myung Moon has hosted "science conferences" with a hidden agenda for three decades. He spends the money so he can be photographed giving speeches to "important people", and increase his propaganda value to gullible followers who don't understand science yet fear and respect it.

Moon picked up S. Fred Singer at some unrecorded time in the past, probably at one of these mock-science gatherings. In 1990 we have recorded evidence that Singer is president and director of a Moon front organization named Washington Institute for Values in Public Policy, located in a Moonie owned office building.

Singer has claimed that the moonies loaned him offices for a year, and gave a charity grant of $10,000 startup money for SEPP. That is a lie. Singer was located in that building for three years, and He, Singer himself, gave SEPP whatever money they needed to operate that additional front organ. The Washington Institute has been very generous to "president" or "board members". Here is an IRS document showing one year that another Washington Institute president gave himself $142,708 salary, a Singer-sized salary. A pal of Singer's, Gerhard Stohrer applied for tobacco money on Washington Institute letterhead during Fred Singer's term as president of the front operation.

A non-profit watchdog organization created an interactive database to illustrate the slippery schemes of ExxonMobil's criminal conspiracy to deceive about Global Warming in the same manner that the tobacco criminal conspiracy deceived and committed corporate serial murders. Seitz, Singer, and Ames all appear in the database as crooked scientists lying for money. I created a graphic using their software interface and saved it to disk to share with you readers. By using this link:

you can go online and explore further connections and people aiding and abetting this broad conspiracy to commit crimes against humanity and mass murder.

Unfortunately, their database was far from fully up-to-date at the time I created these graphics. I have notified them of many missing links they need to add to make a correct picture of this criminal conspiracy. It is funded by other lung pollution fortunes, like Killer Koch Industries (Koch Oil), Richard Maniac Scaife (Gulf Oil), and a few snake oil fortunes like Microsoft, Murdoch (Fox News), Moon (Washington Times, UPI), Coors (John Birch Society), Olin (chlorine and Black Talon bullets), and Earhart Foundation (White Oil fortune).

While Fred Seitz's role is not as big as Singer's, the $45,000,000 diversion smokescreen he operated on behalf of the tobacco murderers is the most obvious, easiest to prove. By exposing the utter corruption of Fred Seitz, the think tank that is a central nexis in the Anti-Global-Warming science frauds can be defanged: the George C. Marshall Institute.

In a September 24, 1993, sworn affidavit, Dr. Singer admitted to doing climate change research on behalf of oil companies, such as Exxon, Texaco, Arco, Shell and the American Gas Association.

Seitz and Singer are tied together, and to tobacco by secret files wrenched from the tobacco conspirators file cabinets, but not every key document or cancelled check has been recovered and published so far. By 1990 Seitz disappears from tobacco company public connections, but SEPP is born. Neither SEPP nor Seitz has ever gone on public record as to the date of Seitz first involvement with SEPP, but Seitz has been board member and vice-president going back as far as public records still existing are available.


Climate Change "Expert"

In the early 1990s, while officially "on leave" from the University of Virginia, Singer set up the Washington Institute for Values in Public Policy with the help of the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution and with funding support from the Unification Church (also known as "Moonies," followers of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, founder of the Unification Church).

This organisation worked closely with Elizabeth Whelan and Frederick Stare's American Council on Science and Health in countering climate activism as it related to the chemical industry. Later Singer's organisation changed into the Science and Environmental Policy Project with funding from the coal and oil industries and some support from PR firm APCO & Associates.

Climate Skeptic Misleads Viewers About Funding

Global warming skeptic S. Fred Singer denied that he has received substantial funding from the oil industry, despite evidence of his long-standing ties to energy companies. In an interview during the Canadian documentary program "The Fifth Estate," Singer claimed he didn't remember whether the oil industry had given him money. "I don’t think so," he said. When reporter Bob McKeown pressed Singer further, relying on ExxonMobil documents showing the company gave $10,000 to Singer’s Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP) and $65,000 to a foundation located at the same address as Singer's office for a climate change conference featuring Singer, he admitted receiving a one-time donation of $10,000 that "came in over the transom." Singer gave similar answers during an interview on E&ETV's "OnPoint" interview program, which also aired last week. In a telephone interview with the Center for Science in the Public Interest, Singer said he only remembered receiving one check from ExxonMobil "10 or 12 years ago" for $10,000.

Yet, the Science and Environmental Policy Project, which Singer founded and leads, has received at least two $10,000 grants from ExxonMobil, in 1998 and 2000. In a 1993 sworn affidavit, Singer also admitted to receiving consulting fees from the Global Climate Coalition – a now defunct group of businesses including Exxon, Shell, Texaco and BP that opposed implementing mandatory greenhouse gas emission reductions -- and doing climate change research on behalf of oil companies. SEPP's website claims it does not solicit support from government or industry and that it receives contributions from charitable foundations and individuals. The project's most recent tax filings show the organization received $102,260 in contributions and $14,700 for lecture fees last year. (Singer has also served as a fellow or adviser for several organizations that receive funding from ExxonMobil, including the Advancement of Sound Science Coalition, American Council on Science and Health, Cato Institute, Frontiers of Freedom and Heritage Foundation.)
