Clive Palmer Says CIA Is Behind Campaign To Kill Coal Industry
Posted by: Soren Dreier
Billionaire Clive Palmer has made bizarre claims the CIA is backing green groups in a bid to kill the Australian coal mining industry. And he appeared to suggest that US President Barack Obama was directly briefed on the sabotage.
Mr Palmer called a Brisbane press conference to declare that “an off-shore political power” and the humanitarian organization the Rockefeller Foundation were behind the attacks on mining.
He said the objective was to make American coal more competitive.
Mr Palmer said no outside country was funding his operations.
“The big difference is that this is funded by the CIA. That’s the big difference,” Mr Palmer told reporters.
“You only have to go back to read the Church report in the 1970s and read the reports to US Congress which sets up the Rockefeller Foundation as a conduit of CIA funding.
“You only have to look at the secret budget that was passed by Congress last year, bigger than our whole national economy, that the CIA’s got to ensure that.
“You only have to read the reports to US Congress, where the CIA reported to the President (Obama), that their role was to ensure US competitive advantage and economic advantage.
“That’s how you know it was funded by the CIA.’
The claims reach the outer limits of conspiracy theories and are certain to embarrass allies of Mr Palmer and severely reduce his political influence.
It is probable that any senior Liberal, including Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, will be reluctant to appear on the same platform as him.
Mr Palmer told reporters that he was “not here to do the American bidding” and said he believed US figures wanted American coal to dominate Australian markets.
“So our jobs, our security, our exports, our balance of payments are transfered to North America when they could be coming for Australians,” Mr Palmer told reporters.
He distributed a Greenpeace strategy document, leaked two weeks ago, which canvassed the possible use of legal challenges and a video to fight coal mining.
Mr Palmer said the document “could have been written in Langley,” a reference to the CIA’s headquarters in Washington.
