"Very few environmentalists seem aware of how vulnerable tribal sovereignty is, and place inordinate faith in its effectiveness as a bulwark against environmental devastation by Wall Street and the feds. If anyone doubts this, they should talk with the Choctaw and other Gulf Coast tribes whose lives have been ruined by Obama's executive order waiving environmental rules that led to the BP disaster."

"The terms “greenwash” and “corporate front group” seem inadequate to describe Conservation International. Perhaps, as the Papua New Guinean critique puts it, Conservation International is “no more and no less a ‘non government' organisation than is General Electric or Microsoft.” Perhaps it is time to consider a global campaign to expose this ‘green' giant's true colours and put a stop to its operations."

"Corporate funding effectively silences dissent and buys legitimacy where none is deserved. The corporate influence and domination, like a virus, crushes imagination, strangles creativity and kills individual thought. Education pursued for the collective good is dead. Transcendent values – dead. The nurturing of individual conscience – dead. Ethical and social equity issues are framed and accepted as “passé.” Political silence reigns. Moral independence within educational institutes is being effectively decimated."

"Yes, the nonprofits are being encouraged to file claims for losses related to the BP oil disaster in workshops held by the Louisiana Cultural Economy Foundation. (24) I attended one of their workshops on June 10 in New Orleans, and actually heard Amy Smallwood, CEO of Louisiana Cultural Economy, say that is doesn't matter if your losses during those eight months after the beginning of the BP oil disaster on April 21, 2010, are directly connected to the disaster or not."

"The Real Weapons of Mass Destruction are the melting permafrost, the destabilizing methane hydrates and the corporations such as Halliburton, ChevronTexaco, BP, Shell, Exxon Mobil who, hand in hand with the US Department of Energy and the US Department of Defense, have been planning and waiting to exploit methane hydrates for decades. Methane hydrates are considered the ultimate in climate wealth opportunity because the control of these hydrocarbons could literally shift the balance of global power.""The Real Weapons of Mass Destruction are the melting permafrost, the destabilizing methane hydrates and the corporations such as Halliburton, ChevronTexaco, BP, Shell, Exxon Mobil who, hand in hand with the US Department of Energy and the US Department of Defense, have been planning and waiting to exploit methane hydrates for decades.
