Center for American Progress now blames us for Egypt!

by David Chavern

Reaching a new low, John Podesta’s Center for American Progress has now decided to blame the US Chamber of Commerce for unrest in Egypt! What’s next – holding us responsible for snow storms in the Northeast and volcanoes in Iceland? Showing an penchant for international conspiracy theories worthy of Robert Ludlum and the John Birch Society, C.A.P. somehow ties together the Mubarak regime, the activities of an individual who is President of the AmCham in Cairo and John Negroponte into some theory whereby the U.S. Chamber has been repressing democracy in Egypt. Wow! The Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg Group have nothing on us.

Podesta’s group seems to live by the old motto “don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story.” The truth is that all of the 115 or so AmChams around the world are separate and independent organizations – we don’t tell them what to do and they don’t tell us what to do. Moreover, we certainly don’t direct the activities of the successful business executives who volunteer to run AmChams – particularly someone with as many commercial, political and philanthropic activities as Mr. Gabr.

AmChams, as a group, have a multi-decade reputation for being credible organizations that successfully represent the interests of their members. It doesn’t appear that the Center for American Progress will ever achieve the same level of credibility.

1. Donohue @ Davos Makes a Joke

Donohue in Davos: Let’s Put America Back to Work

by JP Fielder

U.S. Chamber President Tom Donohue took a quick timeout from meetings Davos this week to chat with French 24 this afternoon. He repeated his message from the recent State of American Business address, that there are many unanswered questions that must be addressed before companies will start aggressively hiring. Over the next year, the Chamber’s number one priority will be to turn this economic recovery into a jobs recovery so that we can start putting Americans back to work.

This is rich coming from a guy who's lobbying firm specializes in outsourcing American jobs

2. That is an incredible story.

115 organizations like that, all of independent thought and decision, and they all have made the same decision about correction of beer and travel money due to me.

That is fascinating.

3. LOL! First I've seen this phrase "The Chamber of Outsourcing." How apt!

I got another laugh from this clown's dripping irony...

"What’s next – holding us responsible for snow storms in the Northeast and volcanoes in Iceland?"

So dripping it dribbled off my screen and onto my keyboard and is icky-ing up my fingers.

I don't know about the volcanoes in Iceland, but I damn well know that the extreme weather is directly related to the Chamber of Outsourcing's global warming denial and the billions in corporate lobbying that has prevented effective government action to slow it down and reverse it. And the CAUSE is industrial pollution and industrial deforestation.

Damn right, I blame them for this. Jerks! Planet killers! Human race killers! Killers of everything! Smug, callous, evil billionaire assholes! Destroyers of our democracy. Destroyers of the economy! Destroyers of Earth!

And I'm going to look into the volcanoes matter, cuz when you fuck up Earth this much, who knows what the impacts may be below ground?

4. I kept clicking at the link and found a chamber...affiliate.

The Institute for 21st Century Energy. I've checked two of the bio's thus far on their leadership stable and found a life long republican and a right wing spin doctor who has worked for John Kyl and Pete Domenici. Went back for a peek on a third and found a Cheney flunkie, I can't look anymore.

If chamber alliances think they can cleanse themselves from the collusion, they should really consider disassociating themselves from the brass asses that stirred this pot long before now, but remain taint to all they later touch. Why don't you question the wisdom of your own alliances and allegiances, Mr Chavern?
