CIA threatens Australian coal industry: Palmer

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.

Palmer is a billionaire who is furious about a new mining tax which he says will ruin him. He donates to right wing political parties.
Last year he gave 55 employees a new Mercedes SUV each for Christmas.

So where do the Freemasons, the World Bank, the Vatican and the Jews fit into all this? Palmer is missing a few links in the big picture, isn't he??

He didn't even bother to mention the 9-11 connection, the Tri-lateral Commission or the stuff they put in the drinking water...
