From the internet and mckibben said that despite how the film portrays him he hasnt supported the incredibly hard full practices of like bio mass the act of cutting down all the trees and burning them he says for those in years and years. Well Maj Blumenthal of the gray zone did a deep dive into all this and he found that less than 0 week after the nation published josh foxs attack on Michael Moore and planet of the humans the nation editor in chief hosted in a vet with mckibben there was sponsored by a fund with Major Investments in several of wood to energy bio Mass Companies called Domini Impact Investments the fund claims to hold investments in 68 companies that both impact forests and depend on them whether for forest derived products or Ecosystem Services ones to dominate holding is a wood to Energy Company called the rest go which builds a large utility scale bio mass to Energy Plants according to its website now this is the actual ad for the event with mckibben and theres the domini impact. Logo right there proudly sponsoring it through 50 dot org and mckibben have heavily promoted the idea of divesting from fossil fuels which is a great idea yes yes yes divest from fossil fuels i totally agree. But then they recommend people reinvest it off now that sounds are so the Green Century Fund that kid cant get any more environmentally friendly that he says knowingly. Planted of the humans revealed however the Green Century Funds portfolio has contained heavy investments in Mining Companies oil and Gas Infrastructure Companies Including an exploiter of tar sands the biofuel giant daniels midland Mcdonalds Cocacola the worlds leading plastic pollution company logging giants and big banks from bank of america to h. S. B. C. And this is not a fluke we see this again and again and again big green activism that sounds like its doing good for the planet including al gore and the Sunrise Movement in sierra club they then turn around and they say heres how to make a lot of money from capitalist investment while appearing to do good for the planet these are unfettered capitalist offenders who have figured out how to greenwash their image and unfortunately 350 dot org is not the exception its perhaps the leader of this movement or one of them now i found this hard to believe myself i was like ah come on the kid is a good guy doing his best. Then i read one of the most painful jaw dropping articles which truly tells you who Bill Mckibben is because its not about him its not someone saying heres what bill it was like its his own writing just to you. Or ago he wrote a column discussing the role of the pentagon in Climate Change most people know the pentagon is one of the largest causes of Climate Change in the world but mckibben said its the pentagon does indeed use a lot of energy maintaining an enormous military machine produces about 59000000. 00 metric tons of Greenhouse Gas emissions annually which is more than most of the nations of the world still this is not a particularly large share of the worlds or even our Nations Energy consumption schorer dont worry folks even though our war machine expels more Greenhouse Gases than most nations its ok because its not that much compared to the largest most aggressive polluter in the world the entire United States just goes on to write that the military has decreased their energy use in a variety of ways quote ele daylights for instance make everyone more efficient. Did you just of. A trillion dollar a year pollution and death machine by saying. But they usually delights. He acts and ted bundy recycle has a lot of parents Jeffrey Dahmer put the parts of the victims that he didnt feel like eating in the compost bin he was a good guy. But climate hero Bill Mckibben isnt done yet its beyond that the military spends much of its time in gauged in the exercise of the rest of American Public and private life seems to strenuously avoid thinking hard about the future with an emphasis on what could go wrong what could cope. The u. S. Organized human murder machine is everything that could go wrong it is the most wrong and you want to support this as they think about what could go wrong down the road just ponder what they view as wrong the military they view a decrease in the power of the american empire i was wrong they view a decrease in american killing overseas as wrong they view a decrease in the pentagons trillion dollar annual budget as a very wrong. Tasking them with telling us what might go wrong is like asking a blood thirsty hungry crocodile to come up with possible worst Case Scenarios. Worst Case Scenario. I dont get to teach you right now like that would be really bad. But wait theres more the most hopeful thought of course is that a move move by the pentagon and the Broader Society it might influence to bore Sustainable Energy supplies could not only reduce the risk of all out Climate Chaos but it could also remove the most persistent justification for an outsized us military the protection of oil supplies in the middle east. Thats the most hopeful full thought that the completely bloated outrageous out of control you ask organized human death machine will use a few more alley do you lights and move to Sustainable Energy so that they can then do their killing by wind power which will require us to kill fewer people in the middle east. Thats your best Case Scenario you shall see ill pass this this is also the most circular logic ive ever heard its like you have to you would say you had the anger its yours you raised it you pay to keep it around it starts eating a bunch of people because its me and its angry. And rather than try and stop it or even say this is a bad day or maybe put a rubber band around. Instead of doing that you say im supporting and its killing wall slowly over the span of many years transferring it to a more to more vegetarian options and then eventually 20 years from now maybe it wont want to kill because it all like eggplant more. Take a bellow. So the point is other than Bill Mckibben is a maniac the point is these big green entities were either created by massive capitalist companies to greenwash their image to make you think they were ok or theyve been captured by those entities either one of not good. Check out Max Blumenthals article at the gray zone for a lot more on this topic but look Climate Change and planetary destruction is the inevitable and end result of market capitalism it always ends up there right now every Human Behavior is measured by how much it consumes how much it it makes in profit how much it produces there is no economic reward for being sustainable or healthful or peaceful so if any Environmental Organization is telling you the answer to Climate Change is to invest more or buy more or support big banks or big military then they are a sham they are frauds they are a con artist you cant talk about environmental destruction without talking about capitalism. But at least the orange skies are super prove me. Come to you from washington d. C. The belly the base is redacted tonight. Well if only cameos take the news from by the completely fair super awesome trial of Julian Assange continues in the u. K. Because hes clearly as dangerous as hannibal lector theyre keeping him in a giant tictac container in the court room seriously hes in a plastic box because you never know when he might lurch out in public something that is totally true right now one journalist is on trial while being held in a maximum security prison in london another journalist same job bob woodward whos in a very different situation right now hes a hero to the liberal establishment right now because. He got trump to do interviews where in trump as always sounds like a man to get among other things trump admits he knew covert 19 was going to be horrible or was horrible back in at least february but he played it down anyway and every time woodward puts out a book the Mainstream Media fan girls are all over him they paint man famed reporter bob woodward made headlines once again this past week with his new book about the Trump White House and titled fair and the veteran editor and reporter for the Washington Post joins me now welcome joining me tonight is a 2 time Pulitzer Prize winner whose name is synonymous with Investigative Journalism his latest book on the trumpet administration is called rage please welcome back to a late show bob woodward well i dont know basic human being im going to name my kid bob woodward so whats the difference between a liberal hero Journalist Bob Woodward and dastardly evil villain cannibal pedophile julian astonish who Hillary Clinton famously said we should drone bomb well id say most of the indictments against the sons are for obtaining and disclosing classified information from the u. S. Government liberal superhero bob woodward would never do such a thing like this i have rarely seen a significant story were there is in the document often you cant get it because its classified but its that they are if you can get somebody to assist you who will indeed help you with your story the hardest documents are intelligence documents and they have them in print. You see what what what had happened was. Oh. Ive got it bob woodward is a hero and joy to science is an evil doer because when bob woodward gets classified documents people just they just send them to him this is like here whereas jewel in a sound probably went and pressured people to give him the documents he said why what why wont you give it to me what do you chicken. Thats probably a woodward would never do that documents really just come in the mail out of the blue you have to go to human beings and say come on lets talk lets. Not the truth about this. So the guy that has the entire Mainstream Media licking his shoes has been involved in obtaining and publishing classified information. The only real difference is that nothing wiki leaks has ever published has been proven false whereas the outlets woodward works with like the Washington Post New York Times they publish false information all the time thats their bag baby they said there were weapons of mass destruction in iraq they said kim jong un killed his girlfriend with like alligators and she was still alive they published 16 anti Bernie Sanders stories in the span of 16 hours while trying to sink his candidacy they said china imprison a 1000000 we based on extrapolating from the accounts of 8 people. 8 they are out of garbage but when necessary.

Welcome back im still leaking up as your 4 years of being vilified by our president wasnt enough undocumented. Grants are dealing with very high rates of covert related job loss which means its a great time for predatory lenders to get in on that so at least we can be thrilled for them right for more we go to our troops bob or dad to go responded nathalie mcgill. Whatever the finances in the toilet due to covert 19 overdue rent and bills the only thing that would stop predatory lending now is to launch a reboot of to catch a predator where chris hansen tells you ever proved you for a high interest loan you cant repay to.
