The recently released FBI interview with MI6 agent Christopher Steele (and his Orbis pal Christopher Burrows) reveals a number of things: The interview was after the FBI fired him for leaking to the press, which they had forbidden. They asked him why he did it. He responded that he had been “riding two horses” (getting paid by both the FBI and GPS Fusion, which was doing the opposition research for Hillary), but when FBI chief Comey reopened the Hillary investigation regarding the illegal use of her personal servers for classified information, Steele decided to go with one horse—Hillary. And, he added, they wanted the crap he had complied to go out to the press. “They followed what their client wanted, and spoke to the press.” Steel said, the FBI wrote, that President Trump was “their ‘main opponent’ and indicated that they were fearful about how Trump’s presidency negatively impacted the historical US-UK alliance and the US-UK special relationship.” Steele said that Fiona Hill (at the Brookings Institute think tank) had introduced him to Igor Donchenko (also at Brookings, and the “primary source” to Steele, who told the FBI in his interview that the things he had passed on to Steele were barroom gossip). Fiona Hill, one of the many very bad choices Trump made for the NSC, then resigned and gave 10 hours of BS testimony at the Ukraine-scandal impeachment trial. The FBI wrote: “Hill is one of Steele’s close friends, later described in the interview that his wife went to university with Hill, and that Hill’s daughter is named after a now-deceased mutual college friend of Hill and his wife.”

At an event sponsored by the Atlantic Council’s Global Energy Forum today, rabid environmentalist crackpot Prince Charles presented his newly-launched initiative, the “Terra Carta” (or Earth Charter) and its “Sustainable Market Initiative” to “bring CEOs together”, to “drive a just energy transition.” Introduced in gushing terms by the head of the Atlantic Council, Frederick Kempe, Charles spoke of the “interconnection” between human health (COVID) and “planetary health.” We must move beyond good intentions, he said, to move to a “practical effort to mobilize financial resources.” He said, “I have been challenging leaders of nations and CEOs of corporations” to take action. To do better, we must bring economic value into sustainable viability. After droning through the usual clichés about corporate responsibility for a structural energy transition, he concluded by saying, “A sustainable future is the growth story of our times.”He was followed by Brian Moynihan, CEO of Bank of America, and Bernard Looney, CEO of BP, who praised the prince’s work on the Sustainable Market Initiative, to bring CEOs together to “drive a just transition.” Looney called for support from the financial community to support more Green companies, and more “greening companies”, which he described as those not yet engaged in sustainable practices. He added that this will work, because “what we are doing is in line with what society needs, and wants,” i.e., energy which is affordable, reliable, and clean. BP is moving to become an energy company, not just an oil company. He said that 45% of the companies listed on the London Footsie index are now committed to this project. Moynihan said, from talks with Prince Charles, he agrees that this must now become a “do effort, not a think effort.” Both emphasized their complete support for His Royal Highness, and their agreement with him that the “clock is ticking, we must make each day count.” Kempe, other than praising the three panelists repeatedly, made a point at the beginning of the importance of Biden putting the U.S. back into the Paris Climate Agreement.

Join us on Saturday LIVE at 2pm EST. This week's meeting will include Harley Schlanger, Jason Ross and Diane Sare and will address how, in the aftermath of the “banality of evil” that was the January 20 Biden Presidential Inauguration, should one think, in order to address what must now be done in the United States? Statesman Lyndon LaRouche, in his Politics As Art, pointed out “that President Lincoln had won a terrible, justified, and absolutely necessary war on behalf of all humanity, by aid of lessons adduced from Shakespeare, which he had taught, as directives, to the members of his Cabinet. No one, friend or foe, laughed at the awesome result of that instruction.”
