Britse banken steunen kolenverbranding met 25 miljard pond

Dacht dak ik uit m'n stoel donderde toen ik gisteren een kop van een Unearthed artikel las: (de 4 grootste) Britse banken steunen de kolenindustrie met maar 'liefst' 25 miljard pond (ons miljard, dus Engels biljoen).

Door het financieren van o.a. nieuwbouw van kolencentrales dragen de banken bij aan de vernietiging van de aarde zoals wij die kennen en waar de gevolgen van de klimaatverandering intussen al duizenden slachtoffers hebben gemaakt.... Vergeet niet (wat men bij die banken al lang is vergeten) dat wij na het volledig 'losbarsten' van de bankencrisis de banken op de been moesten houden met vele miljarden van ons belastinggeld......  

Moet je nagaan: 4 jaar na het Klimaatakkoord van Parijs, waar ook de bankwereld beterschap beloofde, dit jammer genoeg onder door henzelf opgestelde criteria, ofwel geldig tot de deur achter de laatste klimaatganger in Parijs werd gesloten..... (hetzelfde kan je stellen van de grote oliemaatschappijen, waar Shell het klimaatakkoord van Parijs op 8 punten niet nakomt.....*)

De banken moeten als de oliemaatschappijen dan ook betalen voor de gevolgen van de klimaatverandering die zij met leningen mogelijk hebben gemaakt, sterker nog: als de oliemaatschappijen zouden de grofgraaiers van de banken terecht moeten staan voor het Internationaal Strafhof (ICC) wegens massamoord en grootschalige vernietiging van natuur, plus de vernietiging van roerende en onroerende goederen........

Moet je nagaan: The Royal Bank of Scotland is in feite een staatsbank, ofwel ook op andere manieren subsidieert de Britse regering het verbranden van steenkool, zoals onze regering dat ook nog steeds doet en dan durft zijne VVD leugenachtige hufterigheid Rutte te zeggen dat Nederland voorop loopt op duurzaam gebied..... ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Ach ja, eens een leugenaar.......

Voor de begeleidende staatjes, zie het origineel (bijzonder lullig van Unearthed dat je deze niet kan overnemen.....)

Revealed: UK banks’ £25 billion support for global coal

UK banks have supported companies building new coal plants with financing worth almost £25 billion since the Paris climate deal, according to data gathered by environmental organisations Urgewald and BankTrack and shared with Unearthed.

In 2015, world leaders agreed to ensure finance reduced greenhouse gas emissions, but new data shows that HSBC, Standard Chartered, Barclays and Royal Bank of Scotland continued to support firms investing in coal.

The data shows that those four banks supported companies with plans to build new coal plants to the tune of $31.8 billion or £24.7 billion between 2016 and 2019.

Between them, these companies plan to build 174 gigawatts of new coal plants, equivalent to the total operating capacity of the EU and Australia put together. However, industry data is not yet sufficiently transparent to calculate how much of the money is used directly for coal plant construction. 

The plans include the Adani megamine in Australia, a controversial new coal plant in Germany and huge coal expansion in Indonesia.

Over the period, HSBC was the biggest coal financer out of all UK banks, with its support worth £8.4 billion. This consisted of £2.1 billion of loans and £6.1 billion of underwriting.

Underwriting is what banks do when companies issue bonds on the public markets. An underwriting bank purchases bonds and then sells them on.

Despite positioning themselves as concerned about climate change Barclays and Standard Chartered actually increased the amount of support they provided in the last two years, compared to 2014-2016.

The figure for Barclays rose from £2.8 billion to £5.8 billion and the figure for Standard Chartered rose from £2.5 billion to £6.6 billion.

HSBC, meanwhile, has decreased its support for companies building new coal plants from £8.7 billion to £6.1 billion.

The state-owned Royal Bank of Scotland exited the global coal sector last year, providing no financing at all for companies building new coal plants from January to September.

Four years since Paris

In 2015 at the United Nations climate conference in Paris, leaders signed an agreement including a commitment to “making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development”.

The UK will next year host next year’s annual climate conference, billed as the most important since Paris because world leaders are meant to upgrade pledges made in 2015.

Greig Aitken, coal campaigner at BankTrack, told Unearthed: “One year out from the UK’s hosting of the UN Climate Summit, if Barclays, HSBC and Standard Chartered don’t act rapidly to rein in their financing of coal expansion companies, the UK government should take steps or risk turning up in Glasgow with coal dust on their faces thanks to our big fossil banks.

“Compared to their European counterparts, UK banks have stubbornly failed for several years to adequately respond to the worsening climate emergency by at least introducing policy restrictions to significantly curb their sponsoring of coal expansion around the world. Cosmetic policy tweaks no longer cut it.”

The data, which was gathered from financial databases at Bloomberg and Refinitiv and from company reporting, is part of a bigger report that Urgewald and BankTrack plan to publish on the financing of new coal plants globally. They shared the UK information with Unearthed in advance of the final report.

It is based on Urgewald’s list of 258 companies with known coal plant expansion plans, 51 of which received financial support from UK banks.

Between 2017 and 2019, the Finnish state-owned energy company Fortum received more funding from UK banks than any other company with coal expansion plans. It received £2.5 billion from Barclays, mainly in loans, and £1.7 billion in loans from Royal Bank of Scotland, which is itself state-owned.

Fortum recently agreed to take control of the German energy company Uniper in a 2.3 billion euro deal, meaning it will take over the company’s numerous coal plants.

According to Urgewald’s data, Fortum makes only 5% of its revenue from coal and only 3% of the power it produces is from coal. However, Uniper is involved in a controversial plan to build a new coal plant in Germany.

The plant, Datteln 4, is controversial because of the German government’s plan to abandon coal as an energy source by 2038. According to a report from Reuters, the 1.1 gigawatt plant will be allowed to enter service despite the government’s commission recommending that no new coal plants be brought into use.

A spokesperson for Fortum said: “We don’t invest in Uniper because of coal but despite coal. Our goal is to create a leader in Europe’s energy transition. The energy transition will require significant investments in the coming decades not only in renewables, but also in gas, energy storage, and other flexibility solutions to provide security of supply.”

A Uniper spokesperson said that Fortum’s finances were a matter for Fortum but added that the Datteln 4 project had not received any “bilateral loans” from UK banks.

Another state-owned company is second on the list. Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN), an Indonesian government-owned utility company, received £1.8 billion in support from HSBC and £746m from Standard Chartered.

Coal plants owned by PLN, amounting to 20 gigawatts, already emit 74 million tonnes of CO2 a year, or around 14% of the country’s total emissions. It plans to develop another 10 gigawatts of coal plants.

According to a 2015 report from Greenpeace, pollution from coal plants has caused the premature deaths of 6,500 people in Indonesia per year. That same report predicted that if plants currently planned in the country are built, this could rise to 28,300.

Standard Chartered and Barclays have also provided financial support to the Indian coal firm Adani. Standard Chartered made a $150m corporate loan in 2017 and a $600m corporate loan in 2019, while Barclays and Standard Chartered both underwrote bonds in 2017 and 2019.

The company is well-known for its mega-mine expansion plans in Australia, where it is building a massive coal mine. The mine will produce 2.3 billion tonnes of coal over 60 years, according to Adani, making it one of the largest in the world.

The role of finance in driving climate change has come under increasing scrutiny over the last year. In the UK, the issue is of particular concern given British banks’ outsize influence globally – the UK banking sector is the largest in Europe and the fourth largest in the world.

Last month, Mark Carney, governor of the Bank of England, warned that the global financial system is backing projects that will raise the temperature of the planet by more than 4C, far above the 2C limit pledged in the Paris agreement.

Labour has promised to give the Bank extra powers to monitor City firms’ progress on carbon emissions.

Banks have looked to address this issue, introducing restrictions on their finance policy restrictions in the last two years which have ended all direct ‘project finance’ to new coal mines and coal plants globally.

This data, however, shows that they have continued to use corporate finance, loaning money to firms involved in coal development and underwriting loans to those companies.

A spokesperson for Standard Chartered told Unearthed: “Not having seen the report or its methodology we can’t comment on the specific figures, but as you are probably aware we announced last year that we will no longer finance new coal power plant projects and we are revisiting our approach to clients who are dependent on coal for business revenues (more to come on that later).”

A spokesperson for Barclays also pointed to the bank’s new policy on project finance, saying it agrees “with the objective of reducing financing for coal-powered energy production”.

They added that they disputed the findings of the report, saying: “Barclays has comprehensive criteria and controls in place for our energy related financing, and we firmly believe in supporting the transition to a low carbon economy.”

An HSBC spokesperson said: “HSBC recognises the role of the financial sector in addressing climate change. We do not support new thermal coal mines and have not financed any new coal fired power plants anywhere since April 2018.”

Monsanto vergiftigt niet alleen de wereld, maar heeft zelfs de moordenaars bv Blackwater opgekocht........

Het volgende bericht kwam ik tegen op het blog van Stan van Houcke. In dit bericht (uit 2013), dat van Counter Current News (slecht werkende site) komt, wordt uitgelegd dat Monsanto, de grote gifmengers en gentech schoften, het agressief paramilitaire bedrijf Blackwater (later 'Ex Services' en nu 'Academi' genoemd) opkocht. Blackwater werkte o.a. voor multinationals als Monsanto, Chevron en banken als Barclays en Deutsche Bank. Blackwater heeft zich in het verleden o.a. schuldig gemaakt aan diverse oorlogsmisdaden en terrorisme in het algemeen. Daar Blackwater een privé onderneming is, die weliswaar veel voor het ministerie van defensie (lees: ministerie van oorlog) in de VS werkt, kan de regering van de VS daarmee alle claims over oorlogsmisdaden en terrorisme afwijzen en daarmee Blackwater zoveel mogelijk smerige zaken laten uitvoeren.........

Het laat zich raden waarom Monsanto een bedrijf als Blackwater opkocht, immers het bedrijf heeft er belang bij, dat haar zaden overal worden verkocht en dat regeringen de boeren houden aan hun contracten met Monsanto. Zo heeft een groot aantal boeren in India zich het leven benomen, daar ze volkomen failliet gingen door hun contract met Monsanto. Dat zit zo: Monsanto verkoopt zaden aan boeren, waarbij die boeren ervoor tekenen, dat zij niet zelf de zaden vermeerderen (zoals ze al duizenden jaren hebben gedaan en doen). Monsanto belooft die boeren gouden bergen, als zij hun zaden afnemen, echter als het tegenzit, bijvoorbeeld door grote droogte, of slecht weer, houden de boeren geen geld over om zaden te kopen voor het volgende seizoen..... Uiteraard geeft Monsanto grote kortingen op de eerste levering, zoals een heroïne dealer dat doet met zijn klanten......

Het laat zich raden, dat er ontwikkelingslanden zijn, die hun boeren niet gaan lastigvallen met de claims van Monsanto, dan is het uiteraard erg handig, als je een goedgetrainde ploeg psychopaten achter de hand hebben, om hun claims 'wat meer kracht' bij te zetten...........

Naast dit alles heeft Monsanto nog te maken met milieugroepen, die (volkomen terecht) tegen gentech zijn en bovendien tegen het op grote schaal verspreiden van zwaar gif over de aarde, door dit klote bedrijf......... Altijd handig om een stel psychopaten achter de hand te hebben, om je belangen veilig te stellen, ja toch....???

Monsanto and Blackwater

Yes, Monsanto Actually DID Buy the BLACKWATER Mercenary Group!

February 2, 2013 2:39 pm·

Reports that the huge multinational corporation Monsanto bought the largest mercenary army in the world might have seemed ridiculous on the surface. But it turns out that’s exactly what happened.

A report authored by Jeremy Scahill for The Nation revealed that Blackwater, later called Xe Services and more recently “Academi”, had been sold to Monsanto.

The clandestine intelligence service was renamed in 2009 after it became notorious and synonymous with numerous reports of abuses in Iraq, including massacres of civilians.

The group, originally founded in 1997 by former Navy SEAL officer Erik Prince, remains the largest private contractor of the U.S. Department of State “security services.” It exists in its functional capacity, so that the state may engage in terrorism while giving the government the opportunity to deny it, because those carrying out the war crimes are not directly reporting to members of the U.S. military hierarchy.

A number of military and former CIA officers are said to work for the mercenary group formerly known as Blackwater. The purpose has always been to increase profit selling their nefarious services-ranging from information and intelligence to infiltration, political lobbying and paramilitary training – for other governments, banks and multinational corporations.

Scahill indicates that the group does business with multinationals, like Monsanto, Chevron, and financial giants such as Barclays and Deutsche Bank, but that this is done through two companies owned by Erik Prince, owner of Blackwater: Total Intelligence Solutions and Terrorism Research Center. These officers and directors share the group.

One of those partners is Cofer Black, who was known for his brutality as one of the directors of the CIA.

He is alleged to have been the one who made contact with Monsanto back in 2008 as director of Total Intelligence. Black entered into the contract with the company in order to spy on and infiltrate organizations of animal rights activists, anti-GM and other dirty activities of the biotech giant, according to sources close to Academi.

Monsanto executive Kevin Wilson declined to comment, when asked directly by Scahill about this. But he later confirmed to The Nation that the company had in fact hired Total Intelligence in 2008 and 2009.

According to Monsanto, this was only to keep track of “public disclosure” of its opponents. He asserted, however, that Total Intelligence was a “totally separate entity from Blackwater,” even though it is just one of the myriad of names and forms the massive mercenary group has adopted over the years.

Scahill himself, however, says that he has copies of emails from Cofer Black. They explain that after the meeting with Wilson for Monsanto, where he explains to other former CIA agents, using their Blackwater e-mails, that the discussion with Wilson was that Total Intelligence had become “Monsanto’s intelligence arm,” spying on activists and other actions, including “our people to legally integrate these groups.”

In all, Monsanto paid Total Intelligence $ 127,000 in 2008 and $ 105,000 in 2009. After these details began to leak out, they seem to have buried the paper trail, and perhaps utilized yet another front for Blackwater to provide the same services.

Activists have claimed to have confronted agents of Monsanto who roughly fit the description of mercenaries with the group. Whatever name they are utilizing at this point, it seems reasonable that if they have been used in the past – and if they have repeatedly changed their names and added sub-groups to their organization – that they have only done the same thing once again.

Monsanto has been criticized by an array of environmental, peace and even health activists for their production of toxic poisons spilling from Agent Orange to PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), as well as their more common business in selling pesticides, hormones and genetically modified seeds.

Almost simultaneously with the publication of this article in The Nation, the Via Campesina reported the purchase of 500,000 shares of Monsanto, for more than $23 million by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which with this action completed the outing of the mask of “philanthropy.” Another association that is not surprising.

It is a marriage between the two most brutal monopolies in the history of industrialism: Bill Gates controls more than 90 percent of the market share of proprietary computing and Monsanto about 90 percent of the global transgenic seed market and most global commercial seed. There does not exist in any other industrial sector monopolies so vast, whose very existence is a negation of the vaunted principle of “market competition” of capitalism. Both Gates and Monsanto are very aggressive in defending their ill-gotten monopolies.

Although Bill Gates might try to say that the Foundation is not linked to his business, all it proves is the opposite: most of their donations end up favoring the commercial investments of the tycoon, not really “donating” anything, but instead of paying taxes to the state coffers, he invests his profits in where it is favorable to him economically, including propaganda from their supposed good intentions. On the contrary, their “donations” finance projects as destructive as geoengineering or replacement of natural community medicines for high-tech patented medicines in the poorest areas of the world. What a coincidence, former Secretary of Health Julio Frenk and Ernesto Zedillo are advisers of the Foundation.

Like Monsanto, Gates is also engaged in trying to destroy rural farming worldwide, mainly through the “Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa” (AGRA). It works as a Trojan horse to deprive poor African farmers of their traditional seeds, replacing them with the seeds of their companies first, finally by genetically modified (GM). To this end, the Foundation hired Robert Horsch in 2006, the director of Monsanto. Now Gates, airing major profits, went straight to the source.

Blackwater, Monsanto and Gates are three sides of the same figure: the war machine on the planet and most people who inhabit it, are peasants, indigenous communities, people who want to share information and knowledge or any other who does not want to be in the aegis of profit and the destructiveness of capitalism.

So why were so many media outlets, editorialists and bloggers clamoring to say that the purchase was a “hoax”?

That’s a good question. The more cynical among us might suspect a financial incentive from Monsanto itself to such “journalists.” Monsanto indeed has hired a public relations team to seek out critical blogs and websites reporting on their crimes against both Nature and humankind. We have seen this first hand in comments on PoliticalBlindSpot.com articles on Monsanto. It is not beyond the realm of possibilities that they have created blogs where seemingly legitimate authors write organic thoughts, observations and rebuttals. The public presumes these are real-world people, when in fact they are working PR for the company.

But the core argument of those who claim that the Monsanto purchase of Blackwater is not true lies in the fact that we can only officially document Blackwater being hired by Monsanto for years. Immediately following this extensive work that Blackwater did for Monsanto, they sold the company. Because of the nature of how the sale transpired, it is impossible to document who the sale was to. The obvious and logical conclusion to insiders (particularly in the private security industry), however, is that the sale was in fact to Monsanto who had been employing the group.

Xe (now Academi) has, indeed, been purchased, and while there’s no way of DOCUMENTING who the new owners really are, the logical conclusion would be that Monsanto, who had been employing them prior to the sale are the new owners. This, of course, would also make sense of the secrecy surrounding the deal and the identity of the new owners. The company was bought out by private investors via private equity companies that don’t have to divulge any of their dealings, with Bank of America providing much of the $200 million in financing for the deal.

New York-based USTC Holdings said it will acquire Xe and its core operating subsidiaries, but did not disclose the price or terms of the agreement in a statement.

USTC Holdings is an investor consortium led by private equity firms Forte Capital Advisors and Manhattan Partners.

Various researchers have been trying to document the buy via a paper trail, but so far without much luck. That, of course, is the point.

One thing that is known: Forte Capital Advisors is the baby of long-time Blackwater ally Jason De Yonker:

DeYonker has unique experience with the Company that dates back to its founding in the late 1990s. He advised the Company through development of its early business plan and expansion of the Moyock training facility as well as supporting negotiations of its first training contracts with U.S. government agencies. Between 1998 and 2002, Mr. DeYonker co-managed Xe founder, Erik Prince’s family office which included management of Mr. Prince’s portfolio companies.

What does that mean? The guy is a glorified accountant.

Prior to joining Forté, Jason co-managed a +$100 million family office. In addition to actively managing various platform companies, Jason was a part of the executive team responsible for family wealth management.

Jason has spent the last 18 years advising on various mergers, acquistions and divestitures with an aggregate transaction value greater than $1 billion. Jason’s experience include: transaction advisory, portfolio management, real estate development, venture capital and cross border dealings. Jason began his career with Arthur Andersen Corporate Finance Group, and was a Director in Deloitte & Touche’s Corporate Finance Group. He also was the Finance Director for the West Family Trust, a venture capital group focused on cross-border transactons.

Jason recieved a Bachelor of Business Administration, with a concentration in finance and accounting, from the Univeristy of Michigan.

The other investor? It looks like the very junior partner will be Manhattan Partners, a private equity company – a shop that gathers money from anonymous rich investors and uses the pool of cash to  leverage buyouts of big companies they wouldn’t have been able to take over on their own.

Manhattan Partners invests in “compelling growth and special situation transactions,” but this will be their first known foray into defense industries – WarIsBusiness.com reports (via Spencer Ackerman):

Manhattan Growth Partners is led by Dean Bosacki and Patrick McBride. Bosacki serves on the board of “the world’s largest commencement photography business,” among other companies. Manhattan Growth Partners, which describes itself as “a progressive thinking private equity firm,” also holds a majority interest in Hugo Naturals, a line of organic, vegan-friendly soaps, lotions, scents and soy candles sold at Whole Foods and other greenwashed retailers.

So what does this all mean? Did Monsanto actually buy Blackwater? The answer is yes, but indirectly. The purchase was made through shell company and a pair of private equity firms. At the end of the day, it would seem the logical conclusion is that in spite of arguments to the contrary, Monsanto in fact did by the Blackwater mercenary group… or at least the renamed Blackwater Xe, and now Academi Services group. The big question, now is why?

Banken, de grote boeven

Naar nu blijkt hebben grote banken als JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank en Barclays, onderling afspraken gemaakt over de berekening van rente aan en van klanten.
Het houdt maar niet op, als het over de gore streken van banken gaat, ondertussen mag de grote onderlaag in de maatschappij boeten voor alle smerige deals, disfunctioneren en ronduit frauduleus handelen. Nogmaals blijkt wat een geweldige prestatie de toezichthouders hebben neergezet.....
En maar ouwehoeren over hervormingen in arbeidsrecht, de zorg en de huren.........
