Divestment as the Vehicle to Interlocking Globalized Capital [McKibben’s Divestment Tour – Brought to You by Wall Street: Part XV of an Investigative Report]

"...private equity raised close to $34 billion for oil and gas funds in 2015—a 94% rise from three years ago—as new transactions continue to be executed."

Environmentalism is Dead – Welcome to the Age of Anthropocentrism [McKibben’s Divestment Tour – Brought to You by Wall Street: Part XIV of an Investigative Report]

"In a perfect world, in another time, perhaps renewable energies will be made of butterfly kisses and rare, precious Earth minerals will fall from the sky."

A World of Make Believe

"With the advent of social media and the reign of the Internet, controlling consciousness is now child’s play."

AT A GLANCE: Why the Oligarchs Have United in Pushing the Divestment Campaign

The so-called clean energy economy (recognized as the greatest “climate wealth opportunity” of our time) is in dire need of a massive cash injection. The required magnitude is colossal... today’s leading social capitalists insist the world must quadruple its investments in “renewable” energy by 2030, also means that climate change is the greatest opportunity to expand capitalism beyond its current limits.

New World Order—Same Old Crimes

The NGOs and PR firms behind the social engineering used to drum up support for Wall Street’s privatization plan -- Avaaz, Havas, Purpose and 350 -- are key to saving the planet for the financial elite....

Do "the things we can't talk about in a civilised society, if you're a good, domesticated house pet" include discussing the role of appointed "leaders" within the non-profit industrial complex, who ultimately serve to protect both capital and state? We have found that this is a critical issue that no one with far reach on "the left" will touch (Hedges, Pilger, etc.).

A Fixed Mentality

"In 2014 the Energy Foundation/Fund in San Francisco (assets $100 Million) granted four million to Sierra Club Foundation, a couple million to Natural Resources Defense Council, as well as $665,000 to Earth Justice (Sierra Club), $565,000 to Environmental Defense Fund, and $335,000 to CERES."

Marching for Monsanto

"Championed by the UN and transnational corporations like Monsanto, this globalized ‘new economy‘ — hyped by Social Capitalists like World Wildlife Fund and 350 — is integral to Sustaining Privatization. The usurping of civil society by these Wall Street-funded NGOs means the annihilation of civil liberties is just A Click Away."
