Environmentalism and Democracy in the Age of Nationalism & Corporate Capitalism

"Sadly, over the last two decades, in the midst of our ongoing ecological and associated geo-political crises, a range of environmental non-governmental organisations (ENGOs), rather than opposing such schemes, have formed alliances with some of the worst corporate polluters and resource extractors in the world and now actually promote them."

"The windmills and solar panels serve as the beautiful (marketing) imagery, yet they are somewhat illusory – the veneer for the commodification of the commons that is the fundamental objective of Wall Street, the very advisers of the divestment campaign."

Symphony of Failure

"Despite “actions” attempting to display the contrary, large environmental organizations have co-opted Climate Justice Now! to the point where it is indistinguishable from Climate Action Network, the condescending, well-funded, corporatized shill for Green Capitalism and mass affiliate for Rockefeller-produced 350.org and, yes, nearly every politicized branch of Friends of the Earth. And while steadfast, small-time excellence consistently pushes for acceptance of the People’s Agreement, those in control at CJN! maintain a measurable silence on the matter and an inherent lust for a Green Climate Fund – capitalism and progress and growth, oh my! – to save us all."

Must-Read White Paper: The Politics of a New York State Fracking Moratorium

"We know that some of these groups have taken money directly from the gas industry or from the foundations of pro-fracking politicians. Others have worked against grassroots campaigns for a ban in other states and have misinformed the grassroots about key issues relevant to pursuing statewide ban strategies. At the same time, these organizations posture not only as environmental and grassroots organizations, but also pretend to be grassroots and “radically anti-fracking.”

“25 x 25” is a Big Fat Bio-Massacre

"Some of my friends in the professional environmental movement have reacted as expected yesterday when I called them out for having allowed biomass burning to be a huge part of what Michigan is going to get under Proposal 3 or “25 x 25.” Accusations and anger."
