> Gore’s investments did not “coincide” with the government’s ones – he and his accomplices caused flow of the taxpayer’s money into his and his buddies’ pockets. But the focus of this article is on the GFTM and other Silicon Valley “successes” that threaten our freedom now. This is how Charley Munger, the right hand of legendary Warren Buffet, described Al Gore’s investment strategy:

“So his idea when he went into investment counseling is he was not going to put any CO2 in the air,” Meager [Munger] explained to the investors noting that Gore’s simple strategy of buying only service company stocks enabled the former Vice President to become very rich.

>> Meager [Munger] explained: “So he found some partner to go into investment counseling with and says we’re not going to have any (carbon dioxide). But this partner is a value investor and a good one. So what they did is, is Gore hired staff to find people who didn’t put CO2 in the air. Of course that put him into services. Microsoft and all these service companies were just ideally located. And this value investor picked the best service companies. So all of a sudden the clients are making hundreds of millions of dollars and they are paying part of it to Al Gore. Al Gore has hundreds of millions dollars in your profession. And he’s an idiot. It’s an interesting story. And a true one.”
