Keystone XL: The Art of NGO Discourse | Part I

"Very few in the environmental movement wish to discuss, let alone acknowledge, the very ugly reality that the "Stop the KXL!" campaign has absolutely nothing to do with shutting down tar sands production. The actuality is that behind the protest signs (that conveniently blur lines and bear much semblance to the Obama branding campaign), we have an entire rail transport industry burgeoning to transport the oil formerly designated for the KXL pipeline. The show is over. It matters little whether Keystone is approved or not. If it is approved, we have a flourishing rail economy plus the KXL pipeline. Bread and circuses have never been so skillfully orchestrated." ...

"The shock and surprise routine on the pandering to corporate interests by NGOs is getting stale. It is easy to publicly voice one's disdain of Obama, Romney, the Democrats and Republicans along with all of the different people (Euro-American's leading the charge) and corporations/industries that are destroying the Earth. Yet the liberal left continues to be silent on the NGOs at the forefront of a dead movement who lead the sheep to the slaughter."

Keystone XL Theatre | Why did Obama Choose NRDC Founder John Bryson as his Commerce Secretary?

"As 350.org/1Sky/Tar Sands Action Coalition continue to fill the self-proclaimed "progressive media" airwaves with self-congratulatory articles of strategic grassroots efforts and so-called victories, many are aware of the fact that a key player collaborating with the "Tar Sands Action" coalition is the NRDC (Natural Resources Defence Council). Forgetting for a moment the beginnings and correlation between 350.org/1Sky, the Rockefellers, the Clintons and big business, what other ties to the very industry and administration could these "environmental groups" such as NRDC behold?"

Keystone XL | The Ivory Towers Crushing the Last Remnants of Climate Justice

When I start seeing articles posted on an international climate justice listserv from 350.org celebrating NRDC and friends, co-opting MLK (Martin Luther King, Jr.) for their own (branding) purposes and legitimising the Obama tagline "Yes We Can" (language that in turn gives "hope" that citizens may see "a certain young senator from Illinois" re-emerge), with no dissent to be found, it tells me that my good friend and legitimate activist Sandy was right. This Climate Justice Network has become CAN (Climate Action Network) in drag.
