The Collaborative Model Takes Root in Alberta’s Tar Sands

"Merran Smith of ForestEthics was listed without affiliation, as was Tzeporah Berman, who worked to privatize BC’s rivers as director of PowerUp Canada, and who is slated to start work this month as Greenpeace International’s Climate Campaigner." Berman is one of many who contributed to the text of the "Leap Manifesto", an initiative founded by Naomi Klein's "This Changes Everything" project. (see photo)

Arundhati Roy: Things that Can’t be Said, Tamed Tigers & the Missionaries of the “New Economy”

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.).

Obama’s Cop21 Climate Speech Signals Coming Authoritarian Rule Over Unfolding Climate Disaster

"But because she would not use her position to do anything more than advance her street cred and take advantage of the Paris scene as a kind of product placement opportunity for her "shock doctrine" analysis, she did little more than advance her own brand. She can neither be considered an activist, nor even a neutral reporter on the events on the ground. The conciliatory language she chose, though sprinkled with mild critique, helped shape the compliant activist landscape. "

From TckTckTck, to Air France, to “Earth To Paris”, Havas Worldwide Continues to Hypnotize

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."

COP15 FLASHBACK: The Dead End of Climate Justice

January 8, 2010: "At our next rendezvous we also need to seriously consider if the NGO/non-profit industrial complex has become a hindrance rather than a contribution to our efforts and thus a parasite that must be neutralized before it can undermine future resistance."

Sustaining Privatization

"The privatization of civil society that led to widespread poverty and political violence is now global. The plan — devised by Wall Street to control civil consciousness through hostile takeovers of media, academia, governments and NGOs — is now complete. "

TckTckTck: The Bitch is Back

"In January 2010 I wrote “Eyes Wide Shut: TckTckTck Expose. I explained in detail how we, civil society, had collectively been manipulated into sleeping with the enemy, that of corporate power. Today, almost 6 years later, living amidst a heavy mental lull bearing much resemblance to Stockholm syndrome, we have chained ourselves to the bed – willing participants in turning ourselves into the enemy’s personal bitch."

The Money Behind the “Grassroots” KXL NGO Milieu

"The real KXL story is more complicated, in particular that the NGOs were all funded by Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers, and ‘bomb train’ mogul Warren Buffett, who profited handsomely from the KXL distraction while Tar Sands oil continued to flow, despite the much-hyped media charades by 350."

The Political Correctness of 350

"Maybe that's why 350 is so popular with privileged North Americans and Europeans. It's always somebody else who has to live a life of deprivation. Not them."
