Kerry Kennedy Could Make $40 Million From Rain Forest Advocacy and Attacking Big Oil

The Kennedy family name still carries a lot of weight in American politics and pop culture. An influence that may even have a price tag.
A New York Post report alleges that Kerry Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy’s daughter, John F. Kennedy’s niece and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s ex-wife, was secretly hired by a lawyer representing Ecuador and paid up to millions for her public advocacy against damage to oil-drilled rain forests in the country now involved in a multi-billion dollar lawsuit against Chevron. The New York Post writes:
“Kennedy, 52, was secretly hired as a ‘public-relations consultant’ by the lawyer representing the Ecuadoreans in an $18 billion lawsuit against Chevron, according to court documents.
Cashing in on her respected family name and legacy, Kennedy raked in tens of thousands of dollars and was given a 0.25 percent stake — worth as much as $40 million — if the $18 billion judgment handed down by an Ecuadorean judge is ultimately upheld. (Chevron has not yet paid pending its countersuit in Manhattan federal court.)
Kennedy was paid a flat $50,000 by lead attorney Steven Donziger on Feb. 22, 2010, bank statements made public in the case show.
She was set to pull down an additional $10,000 per month, according to a September 2010 draft budget by the law firm. And she was to get another $40,000 in expenses in June 2010, according to an invoice from Donziger.”
Kennedy appeared on CNN on Oct. 22, 2009, and wrote a column for the Huffington Post on Nov. 4, 2009, where she wrote about what she saw on her trip to the South American nation.
“Nothing could prepare me for the horror I witnessed,” Kennedy wrote, as the Post notes that it was never mentioned in media appearences that she was hired by the law firm or has a financial stake in the case.
“We–consumers investors, elected officials, journalists, activists, and citizens–must hold Chevron accountable for its actions, and see that justice is done,” Kennedy went on to write.
Kennedy is a human rights advocate serving as president for the RFK Memorial Center for Human Rights.
The issue Kennedy was lobbying for involved damage oil companies have caused to the Ecuadorean town of Lago Agrio, where 1,700 square miles of rain forest have been destroyed and people sickened. In 1993, 30,000 villagers sued Texaco for dumping crude oil and emitting toxins into the watershed and air while drilling 325 wells. The Post reports that Chevron bought Texaco in 2001 and has already completed a $40 million cleanup, approved by the Ecuadorean government.
Kennedy did not return calls or e-mails from the Post seeking comment.

Posted on January 15, 2012 at 8:58pmShe is probably going to use that money to help fund the wind farm off the New England coast. Hasn‘t that project always been at the very top of the Kennedy ’wish list’? My guess is that ‘ole Joe’s’ millions are getting a little thin as the new generations of the family emerge. If you are too young to win an election and your trust fund is shrinking you probably need a real job or if your name is Kennedy a good scam to make ends meet.

Where did the money come from?
And why did they pay?
Sure, there were a few dummies that bought shares in “carbon credits” which are now worth less than the Zimbanwean $1,000,000 note. Not enough to explain the ballooning wealth of the likes of Al Gore and his ilk.

It would be very interesting to know where this kind of money is coming from. If it is from our government, it must be coming from some secret slush fund. If the truth were known, it is probably coming from “Spooky Dude” Soros. If he discredits other oil companies, prevents them from finding new reserves and developing them, his multi million dollar investment in Petrobras in Brazil will pay off more handsomely than ever. You talk about a “VULTURE CAPITALIST”, Soros is 1 billion times worse than Mitt Romney ever thought of being.

Report Post »First off, if the Oil companies did what they do, then likely they did toast the water table, and should have to pay to clean it up. I can’t stand Nazi capitalists, unrepentant and blatantly unkind to both the people they employee as well as the people who live nearby. That’s not to say all oil companies are like that, but I’ve got serious issues with the GLOBALISTS that own them. To begin with, why is gas as expensive as it is? Because they are shipping refined gas to countries where they have refineries they aren’t operating, in fact their is a glut in refined oil products, but GOd forbid they should act accordingly, that’s biblical usury, and I’m not cool with using people, it’s a very progressive thing to do.
However, Kennedy is using her name recognition in support of an equally liberal way, and for massive profit. The elite play by different rules than there serfs are allowed to, and they want all of us as serfs. But don’t wait up for progressives to call her on her hypocrisy, no, they’ll crown her queen instead, utter blindness and double standard abound in liberal land.
