The Manufacturing of Greta Thunberg – for Consent: Natural Climate Manipulations [Volume II, Act VI]

Here, Greta Thunberg becomes the official face for, and of, corporate capture. The rebranding of REDD (the UN "reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation" market mechanism), and the coming New Deal for Nature – under the auspices and brand of "natural climate solutions".

Wildlife Conservationists need to Break out of their Stockholm Syndrome

"Conservationists like me want a world where wildlife has space, where wild places exist, and where we can connect with the wild things. Yet time after time, like captives suffering from Stockholm syndrome, wildlife conservation NGOs placate, please and emulate the very forces that are destroying the things they want to protect."

NGO’s Are Bad Mkay

"The United Nations likewise cannot be trusted because they also cooperate with multinational mega-corporations that perpetrate systemic violence in the name of predatory capitalism."

Who Shapes the United Nations Agenda?

"The UN Foundation lists currently (July 2015) 23 corporate partners, such as Exxon Mobile, Shell, Goldman Sachs, and the Bank of America."

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)

Fund-Raising as the World Burns: Shell Drills the Arctic, Takes a Timeout and Big Green Declares “Victory”

"As long as organizations rely on false claim fund-raising – putting institutional and personal success above the successful survival of Gaian species – we will get nowhere positive in our efforts to save our own very life support system."

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."

FLASHBACK | Conservation International: Privatizing Nature, Plundering Biodiversity

"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."

FLASHBACK | The Real Weapons of Mass Destruction: Methane, Propaganda & the Architects of Genocide | Part I

"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.

FLASHBACK: WWF’s Eco Imperialism

WWF presently has offices in over 90 countries around the world, so to briefly illustrate the imperialistic nature of their “conservation” efforts this article simply focuses on the contentious nature of their presence in mineral rich Mongolia.
