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.

The King’s Speech (King Leo, that is)

"Over the past few years, King Leo has positioned himself to be seen as the social conscience of the celebrity elite. But, it is only because of this fact that the message is acceptable. It isn't the words themselves. It is only the conduit from which they are emanating. The relaying of non-anglo pain and anguish must always be filtered through the mouth of a white representative, most preferably male."

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. "

How Wall Street Is Cashing In on Climate Catastrophe

"The World Bank, the United Nations and the Union of Concerned Scientists have all heralded cat bonds as a way to leverage private capital markets to protect against climate catastrophe. In 2014, the World Bank created a $30 million cat bond to cover the risk of tropical cyclones and earthquakes in 16 countries, including Haiti."

McKibben’s Divestment Tour – Brought to You by Wall Street [Part XI of an Investigative Report] [2 Degrees of Credendum]

"The spectacle, comprised of a single number united with a single letter (with a little circle between them), must be considered a feat in 21st century hegemony – a creation by those whose interests are served by the spectacle; a pasquinade for the impoverished and those not yet born. The 2ºC discourse must be considered perhaps the most deadly game of psychological warfare ever played on human society. Using simple language and steadfast repetition, the acceptance by civil society of this so-called "two-degree target" represents an unsurpassed feat in modern psy-ops."

Fossil Fuel Divestment Farce

"Grantham, meanwhile, donated millions to buy the support of Sierra Club, Nature Conservancy, Environmental Defense Fund and Greenpeace. As usual, the 350 Climateers are clueless about how they are being used by fossil fuel investors to undermine democracy and the environmental movement."

McKibben’s Divestment Tour – Brought to You by Wall Street [Part IX of an Investigative Report] [Mainstreaming Sustainable Capitalism]

"Mainstreaming Sustainable Capitalism by *2020 will require independent, collaborative and voluntary action by companies, investors, government and civil society, which we hope to accelerate by advancing the discourse on the economic benefits of sustainability."

A Message to Marketforces.org.au on Divestment & Direct Action

"Big greens like Greenpeace and 350.org don’t like to engage in discourse. They are happy to have Kumi Naidoo and Bill McKibben declare that it’s time for civil disobedience and then preside over a bunch of well promoted proof-of-concept actions, but when it comes to frontline action they are fundamentally exploitative."

Digital Marginalisation and Obfuscation in the Messaging Sphere

"Like Ben Caldecott (Carbon Tracker, Green Alliance, Stranded Assets Project), Shell seem to be everywhere they want to be. Not only are they very well connected in the venerable home of silence, Chatham House, but they have their collaborators smoothing the path for them at The Guardian."
