BIG OBAMA FUNDRAISER-AMBASSADOR TO FINLAND BRUCE ORECK TO STAY ONE MORE YEAR AND OVERSEE MEGA-MILLION OVERHAUL OF U.S. EMBASSY IN HELSINKI……

By KGS10 years ago2

I’ve been following this story of Mr.Bruce ‘not so clean’ Oreck, on and off for 4 years now.

Big time green/eco businessman and Obama fundraiser ($500 000 campaign contribution + Wife’s $100 000 for the inaugural ball in 2008) Bruce Oreck is going to stick it out and stay on for one more year in Helsinki. During the man’s tenure here in Finland, Oreck has overseen the securing of a major ‘green’ technology renovation of the US embassy, that’s costing the U.S. taxpayer over 120 million dollars.

He has also hosted Al Gore’s ‘evironmental speaking/business tour in Finland, which soon afterward resulted in Valmet Automotive getting a 540 million ‘loan’ to produce the Fiskars electric Karma automobile. According to this YLE article, the deal includes a powerhouse venture capital firm whose partners include former Vice President Al Gore. Can anyone else smell cronyism here?

NOTE: Apparently there’s lots of opportunity to throw some big money around at the tax payers’ expense. It’s disgusting to see all the back slapping and big money changing hands like this, which is nothing more than crony welfare capitalism, where special interests in government and in the business world use the taxpayer as an ITM. Since then the Fiskars venture went belly up, the money is lost, but rest assured lots of people hooked to the greens ‘investment’ made money on the deal.

US ambassador’s posting in Helsinki extended

US Ambassador Bruce Oreck has extended his stay in Finland into next year. He was to have relinquished his post by the end of this year.

He is to remain in Finland to oversee completion of a massive renovation of the embassy. It includes a high-tech, low-energy Innovation Center that opened last February. The project cost more than 90 million euros.

Oreck took over the post in September 2009. A former real estate developer, corporate lawyer and competitive body-builder, he has maintained a high profile in the Finnish media. His wife, Cody Douglas Oreck, authored a book on Helsinki architecture, released a year ago by one of Finland’s largest publishers.

How corrupt our gov is, and there they are, at the troth engorging. Blow 120 million on greening the embassy, and then tell us that we had to close national parks during the budget dispute. Clearly we are suckers, happy as long as the house of cards stands.

There’s No Common Cultural Legacy For The Alt-Right

Still, is there something to it? Is there a common heritage that will cover El Greco and Hume and Dostoyevsky? Is there one that can include the Jacobites and the Jacobins? There is, but it is not racial, and white supremacists reject it because it rejects them. The unifying heritage of Europe is religious and philosophical. It is Jerusalem and Athens, in one famous formulation. Christian religion and Greek philosophy, filtered through Roman law and culture, are the foundation of European culture. The tensions, agreements, developments and settlements between these have shaped the Western world, and these roots of Western civilization are not congenial to white supremacy.

Christianity is universal in its message and Jewish in its origins. For centuries after its founding, Christianity’s center was the Mediterranean world, including Asia Minor and North Africa. Christianity has never been defined by race, and locally-grown racist heresies are only sustainable among those ignorant of Christianity’s teachings, origins and history.

Greek philosophy is likewise ill-suited to serve as a basis for white identity. It is either too universal (addressing the human condition in general) or too local—none of us live as citizens of an ancient Greek polis. Later philosophical developments in Europe, such as the philosophies of the Enlightenment, likewise tend to be too universal for white supremacists seeking a tribal identity. As for the scientific revolution that developed within Western culture (albeit with much borrowed from outside Europe), math doesn’t care what color someone is.

"More here"

War is being waged against Western culture from within which is in essence a war against Christianity and its moral origins in the Hebrew Bible. By attacking these Biblical foundations in the name of reason and human rights, the culture warriors of secularism are sawing off the branch on which they sit. The only way to defend Western civilisation is to reaffirm and restore its Biblical foundations. My argument is a development of ideas I first explored in my 2012 book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power.

We are living in an era which extols reason, science and human rights. These are said to be essential for progress, a civilised society and the betterment of humanity. Religion is said to be their antithesis, the source instead of superstitious mumbo-jumbo, oppression and backward-thinking.

Some of this hostility is being driven by the perceived threat from Islamic terrorism and the Islamisation of Western culture. However, this animus against religion has far deeper roots and can be traced back to what is considered the birthplace of Western reason, the 18th-century Enlightenment.

Actually, it goes back specifically to the French Enlightenment. In England and Scotland, the Enlightenment developed reason and political liberty within the framework of Biblical belief. In France, by contrast, anti-clericalism morphed into fundamental hostility to Christianity and to religion itself.

“Ecrasez l’infame,” said Voltaire (crush infamy) — the infamy to which he referred being not just the Church but Christianity, which he wanted to replace with the religion of reason, virtue and liberty, “drawn from the bosom of nature”.

Perfecting society

But this Enlightenment did not remove religion so much as pervert it. It took millenarian fantasies, the idea that the perfection of the world was at hand, and it secularised them. Instead of God producing heaven on earth, it would be mankind which would bring that about. Reason would create the perfect society and “progress” was the process by which utopia would be attained.
