evil_kenshin Posted March 20, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 20, 2012 http://www.theage.com.au/queensland/cia-threatens-australian-coal-industry-palmer-20120320-1vhi7.html Mining magnate Clive Palmer has accused the Australian Greens and Queensland environmental campaigners of "treason" in conspiring with US powers to destroy the nation's coal industry. Mr Palmer was expected to give his response to the passing of the Gillard government's mining tax at a media conference called this afternoon, but the multi-billionaire was concerned only with perceived collusion between the United States' Central Intelligence Agency and the environmental lobby. Mr Palmer turned his attention to a report by Greenpeace and other anti-coal groups, titled Stopping the Australian Coal Export Boom, which outlined an environmental campaign designed to disrupt and delay the expansion of the industry. Clive Palmer outlines his concerns over the CIA's alleged meddling in the Australian coal industry. Clive Palmer outlines his concerns over the CIA's alleged meddling in the Australian coal industry. While brandishing a copy of the report this afternoon, Mr Palmer said it was the result of a CIA conspiracy involving the US-based Rockefeller Foundation. Seems quiet an accusation though I guess its not impossible of being true; though if so wonder what the CIA's vested interest is in being after Australia's coal industry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandering Posted March 20, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Canberra does a good enough job of ****ing over WA. Now you're telling me the CIA is onto us too? **** me! Now we've got the mining tax too. Go do something you're good at Julia, like smoke your husbands pole cos your calling in life is certainly not running a country. I'll be happy when we secede, Perth would be the new Dubai if 70% of our royalties weren't going to Canberra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey14 Posted March 20, 2012 #4 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Why on earth would the CIA want to hamper mining in Australia? It doesnt make sense. We want your resources. Why do you think we avoid using our own oil researves and get our oil from other countries, same with other natural resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldorado Posted March 21, 2012 #7 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) It's compulsory after becoming a "multi-billionaire" to become as mad as a box of frogs. Edited March 21, 2012 by Eldorado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
