"Not suprisingly, although Tillerson admits there is such a thing as climate change, he believes that the Western world can still go about things in the current fashion due to the 'otherworldly' brilliance of this culture, which is the hallmark of white male supremacy and its demigod like foundations."

"The arc of history doesn't bend towards justice. This is a fallacy to allow those on top to believe they can kick the can down the road and it will one day be taken care of by the next generation who will have learned from our mistakes. Well, the next generation is HERE for climate change. There is no more tomorrow or room for stating of the problem from the leaders with no mention of the solution. The ultimate goal is ZERO CARBON EMISSIONS. Period. This can either be done by CHOICE or by FORCE. Yet, everyday that people like McKibben and the horde of false green prophets continue to lie to the masses, that choice is QUICKLY turning into what will ultimately be done by force. Simple as that."

"Unfortunately, for those who have become trapped in the parallel world of NGOdom, engaging constructively with governing authorities and institutions is contrary to the orthodoxy of radicalism they have internalized as part of their identity. Whether they are pious poseurs positioning themselves for foundation funding, or ideologues posturing for recognition by their peers, their confusion about their role vis a vis good governance constricts their effectiveness."

"Before long, we began to see a pattern that has played out repeatedly: Non-Indians armed with a savior complex, condescending tones and a penchant to show us a better way to do things, begin to plan strategy and events for us. We just show up and hand over the imaginary strings attached to our bodies, which they manipulate until the show’s over."

"While extortion might be too strong a word to use in describing Adamson’s quid pro quo in whitewashing corporate development, her entrepreneurial brokerage is nevertheless a form of poverty-pimping akin to what the Black elite did during the Civil Rights Movement."

"Listening to Mohawk activist Shawn Brant describe the apartheid design of indigenous poverty in Canada and elsewhere as a means of creating hopelessness and despair in order to continue colonial resource extraction, I was reminded that contrary to popular myths, there never were any good colonial intentions."

Ruling class philanthropists have maintained a long history of subsuming educational needs to capitalist growth prerogatives. Learning from this toxic history is imperative, which is why Donald Spivey’s contribution, Schooling for the New Slavery: Black Industrial Education, 1868-1915 (Greenwood Press, 1978), is so important.

"The Ivy League bourgeoisie who sit at the helm of the non-profit industrial complex will one day be known simply as charismatic architects of death. Funded by the ruling class oligarchy, the role they serve for their funders is not unlike that of corporate media. Yet, it appears that global society is paralyzed in a collective hypnosis – rejecting universal social interests, thus rejecting reason, to instead fall in line with the position of the powerful minority that has seized control, a minority that systematically favours corporate interests."
