Briefing: SDG 13 & the Carbon Capture Boom
"There is no excuse for not identifying the political will. It is right to ask why groups like Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil will not acknowledge that projects being built at their back door."

Standing Rock: Profusion, Collusion & Big Money Profits [Part 2]
"Most vitally, this series contrasts the tiny amounts of money spent at the grassroots against the vast sums spent at the 'business' end of the non-profit industrial complex where personal data helps behavior-change B-corporation executives exercise the will of corporate philanthropists, corporations, and imperialist governments."

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)

Caravan of Doom
"A Cory Morningstar writes at Wrong Kind of Green, the evil empire Buffett, Gates and Rockefeller built in the private sector is mirrored in the evil networks of NGOs they -- along with Clinton -- have constructed to provide cover for widespread environmental devastation, ethnic cleansing and Indigenous genocide committed by their corporate investments."
Fracking Indigenous Country
"Mi’kmaq struggles against fracking have taken place completely outside of the framework of large environmental NGO’s; many have stated their belief this is a huge reason for the cohesive, community outlook of the struggles. Most of the larger ENGO’s have an internal policy against opposition to fracking. The reason? Big Capital control through foundations has determined that such a campaign is not a likely “win,” and Big Capital is also involved in labelling Natural Gas– including that from “fracking”– as a “transition fuel.”

How Tides Canada Controls the Secret North American Tar Sands Coalition
"Before Tzeporah Berman began her current position as head of the North American Tar Sands Coalition, Tides Canada had already established these structures to create near-total control over budgets– and therefore, most decisions– for staggering numbers of organizations. Berman was around at the time, working for PowerUp pushing forward offsets garnered by river destruction. Some of the participant organizations already had working partnerships with multiple tar sands producers. The over-whelming majority were already greased by primarily high donors and foundations. Thus, joining the NATSC meant, essentially, double dipping."
Dropping Science: Tzeporah Berman URL-bombed at Vancouver Rally
"Though I was actually there to assist in the setup of this event, I'd consider my betrayal here minor compared to theirs. After being more than a little suspicious of these outfits for some time I now firmly believe the ENGOs are nothing more than left-gatekeepers for capitalism and the Indian Act chiefs of the environmental movement... And so I dropped some science on how and why the environmental, settler-ally "left" is losing. After volunteering for too many muti-million dollar budget, enemy-funded foundations over the years, I think I'm finally cured."

The Problem With the Big Green’s Naomi Klein Gripe
"Now the rule has become this: If you have staff and are an environmental organization in North America, you are funded and directed by foundations who see “saving capitalism from itself” as the goal of environmentalism today. So what are we left with? Unfortunately, more of the same. South of the border, Bill McKibben’s outfit, 350.org, is a new face of this game. If only they were not."
