Political Corruption? Who is Tom Steyer? Is he involved in more pay-to-play type deals?

Tom Steyer is connected. Connected to a lot of scandals. Rich. Democratic Donor. Proponent of Climate Change. Anti-Trump. He has been involved in hedge funds, SuperPACs, Banking, Foundations, and has been/is one of California’s Power Couples. He and his brother Jim might be the West coast version of the Podesta Brothers. Tom has hosted fundraisers at his home for Joe Biden, Obama and Hillary. He is also a member of CAP with John Podesta. https://archive.is/dRHxP

When JP was asked about how well he knew Tom, he said “extremely well.” (Wikileaks) https://imgoat.com/uploads/bf31c7ff06/14791.png https://archive.is/NK1yA

5/2/17 Tom’s Brother, Jim Steyer, is a sponsor of the Child’s Bill of Rights SB18 in California. It’s quite controversial.
http://archive.is/o8do9

California is ground zero for Clinton Cronies to dictate policy, and no one is more excited to lead the charge than Jim Steyer.

Jim Steyer, founder of Common Sense Media, and brother to controversial-coal-billionaire-turned-“environmentalist” Tom Steyer, is pushing his way into the arena, intent on harnessing the voice of children as a powerful tool in politics, starting with the controversial “child bill of rights” known as SB18.

Jim, who likes being “fearless,” seems unphased by the upset parents who are expressing outrage in the medical freedom community. Having set his sights back in 2014 to get involved in the political game after watching younger brother Tom help get Virginia Governor Terry Mcauliffe narrowly elected in a race that cost Tom a mere $100 million, Jim’s political influence amongst democrats dates back further than 2014, due to his influence on Sen. Corey Booker of New Jersey, former Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice and Chelsea Clinton — all of whom are former students of Jim’s, who also teaches at Stanford University.

Both Steyer brothers are long-term supporters of Clinton Foundation, and have a long history of working with Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton. In fact, Tom has donated more than $198 million to candidates in California over the past 14 years, indicating these brothers are another example of super wealthy, super powerful super PACs, seeking to push agendas

Jim partnered with Hillary Clinton for the “Too Small to Fail” initiative which, when examined closely, is clearly the inception point for what we are now seeing as SB18: an overreaching law that will force parents to adhere to and comply with Steyer et al’s definition of “appropriate” and “evidence-based” practices when it comes to his specific agenda of how to raise children.Failure to comply will put parents at risk of losing their children to the state.

At first blush, the amendments’ defining details of SB18 — which is being pushed by Big Pharma whipping boy Sen. Richard Pan (D-Sacramento) — appear altruistic in nature, utilizing language that attempts to swaddle political overreach in soothing terms like “child bill of rights.” However when taking a closer look, the amendments contain strangely redundant policy that seems to be seeking laws for innocuous rights that already exist, which begs the question, what is the real purpose for this legislation?

Tom Steyer has some scandalous ties with Oregon. 2/13/15 Corruption ties to** Oregon Democratic governor** http://archive.is/pzWTX http://archive.is/xwGS2

The controversy centers on Gov. John Kitzhaber’s fiancée, Cylvia Hayes. She was paid $118,000 by the >Clean Economy Development Center (CEDC) to advocate for environmentalist policies in Oregon.

Hayes never disclosed those payments, despite acting as an informal adviser to the governor as he pushed a low-carbon fuel standard for the state.

Dan Carol, then a strategic adviser to CEDC, helped Hayes land the position. He was given a $165,000-per-year job in the Kitzhaber administration.

Kitzhaber is expected to resign today under intense scrutiny over the scandal. The scandal could extend beyond Oregon given Steyer’s involvement. Steyer has donated millions to a group that helped finance Hayes’ position, which could ensnare one of the Democratic Party’s most prominent fundraisers in the scandal.

2/20/17 Ties to Russia http://archive.is/NhFVP

As the lead in hedge fund Farallon Capital Management, Steyer made millions from investments in petroleum companies. One of these investments involved dealing with a Russian energy czar who was a confidant of Vladimir Putin.

https://archive.is/bqJrR He’s against Keystone Pipeline

It’s Republican strategist Karl Rove versus billionaire Democratic donor Tom Steyer in Iowa.

Rove’s group, American Crossroads, is up with a new ad that claims the Democratic Senate candidate there, Rep. Bruce Braley, is doing the bidding for Steyer by voting against the Keystone XL oil pipeline.

"Now, a California billionaire who stands to profit by blocking Keystone is spending big to help Braley’s campaign," the ad says. "Bruce Braley, he’s on the side of billionaire special interests, not Iowa workers."
