1. Re. Joe Rarfankle:

   Very amusing…this is what I see today clicking on the links you provide!

   Error 404

2. You folks really need to learn how to do a search – because I did a search and found that the grants are all there.

3. Thanks for sharing !! CHeerz

   And please check out my latest post on love – http://raajtram.wordpress.com/2012/02/23/love-sometimes-stupidity-d/

4. The State of California has a lot of money to get rid of every year.

   Pacific Institute has done work for:

   California EPA
   California Energy Commission
   California Department of Water and Power

5. FOIA from someone perhaps???

6. This will ultimately lead right into the Oval Office.

7. Sure you can believe the Government…
   Just ask an indian…

8. SAVE ALL FGS

9. Despite the criminal tendencies of their president, according to their 990, the Pacific Institute are pulling in around $2.5 million annually in grants:

   see: http://www.pacinst.org/about_us/financial_information/Pacific_Institute_990_tax_10.pdf

   An outside audit would be well advised. Particularly as the number of staff does not seem to match the funding – I count 24 staff (http://pacinst.org/about_us/staff_board/) of whom 10 are ‘research associates’ and only 5 have PhDs.

10. Here is the link to the docs, pdfs and press releases still up at EPA concerning the Pacific Institute.

    There are 366. I’ve saved a few.

11. No screen shot of the whole Non-Profit database screen that included the Pacific Institute data?

12. Here is expanded info. There are a couple of EPA personnel that may need a closer look.

    Here is the expanded info. You may want to take a closer look at Lisa Hammond.

    83347101-1 EPA HQ OECA Pacific Inst for Studies in Dev Not for Profit $100,000 05/15/2007 11/14/2010 Carl Davis Lisa Hammond Office of Environmental Justice 05/27/2010

13. Ever doubt that big government was corrupt?

14. The EPA needs to be shuttered – period. American’s do not fully understand how much this agency has hurt the country. They serve as an adjunct arm of the “Green” movement and they have cost us trillions of dollars in lost progress, jobs, business opportunities, impact to the economy and wasted time/effort in fighting their socialist enviromentalism…

15. Chicago style government exists to reward it’s friends (who in turn show generosity towards the Democrat party pols) and to punish its enemies.

    Truth, justice, honesty or honor has no place in it.

    here a search of GLEICK works as well. All documents are dated and stamped EPA.

17. http://www.epa.gov/enviro/facts/otherdata.html

    here i can use the search box for Gleick and at least see his activity for the EPA

    Another

19. that’s my point.. you can’t..

    just thought the link, and reference number might come in handy – ie evidence 😉 !

20. That looks like one. See if you can find it in the Grants Database today.

21. yesterday you said:
    ■$223,675 to “make use of a broad-based multistakeholder group (i.e. the West Oakland Toxic Reduction Collaborative) to assess conditions, develop solutions and support and leverage their implementation as related to environmental and public health burdens from air and other toxics.

    This press release exists:
    EPA AWARDS $223,675 TO WEST OAKLAND ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS PROJECT FOR REDUCING IMPACTS OF DIESEL POLLUTION

22. Is this one for a $100,000 ?

23. Redistribution of wealth, activism style. How many are directly related to Agenda 21 enabling.

24. Not such a big deal compared to providing money laundering and gun running services to Mexican drug cartels.

25. Surprise? Amazement? Unprecedented? or BAU?

    Dinan, Stephen. “Obama Climate Czar Has Socialist Ties.” Washington Times. Washington, D.C., January 12, 2009. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/jan/12/obama-climate-czar-has-socialist-ties/

26. Now it seem necessary: Investigate the EPA and the grants.

27. The Pacific Institute looks like money laudering enterprise for government grants

28. Agreed, I was just adding references, to show that there was indeed a grant to the Pacific Institute. If the EPA have intentionally removed items from this database i would say this is a serious offense. I used the contact form on the EPA site to report broken links, maybe, just maybe the increased traffic to the database corrupted it. I don’t really believe that having developed multiple database engines, but maybe something in the flow between web-site and database could have got screwed up. The alternative of an “1984” policy at the EPA is very serious.

29. Their dishonesty and sleaziness are truly breathtaking.

30. Did Gleick have additional ‘grants’ associated with his activism, e.g.:

    http://www.ansf.az/ANSF-Statistic.xls
    Award Amount: $35,000
    Award Dates: May 1, 2004 – October 31, 2005 (18 months)
    Title: Investigation of Potential Climate Changes Influence on Water Resources of Azerbaijan
    Azerbaijani Principal Investigator: Mansimov, Mirzakhan Rzakhan, Institute of Radiation Problems, ANAS
    US Principal Investigator: Gleick, Peter H., Pacific Institute for Studies in Development, Environment and Security

    (no wonder he was so interested in keeping the gravy train going)

    I wonder how much time he put into each of these grants versus the money he extracted from them?

31. Is anyone in the mainstream talking about this…I have not even heard it on Fox.

32. Yeah, but it’s not in the EPA Grants Data Base, which could mean that whoever deleted the grants from the data base overlooked other mentions.

33. Not a surprising turn of events from a government headed by an avowed Marxist. What else would you expect?

34. Ripples on the septic pond as the Gleick pebble widens to include the full range of co-conspirators.

    Humanity is getting a lasting lesson in why NOT to trust authority….including the choir of crickets in Congress.

35. Deleting the grants from the website is questionable public relations, but deleting valid informtion from the database of Fedral grants is criminal fraud. I’m sorry I don’t have the citations from the CFR, but I believe any Federal Contracting Officer, including those at EPA, knows them by heart.

36. More ethical, open and honest government promised by Obama’s EPA!!

37. Yes John, But they should also be prosecuted.

38. Still traces of one grant at the EPA website.

39. Those responsible should be fired.
