Who are the US rich who finance climate activists (including Last Generation)

What the Washington Examiner's investigation says about wealthy financiers of climate activists. Tino Oldani's article for ItaliaOggi

Greta Thunberg is 20 years old and no longer makes news like when, in 2018, she launched the Friday school strikes for the environment, called "Fridays for Future", filling the squares with young people happy to jerk off with the excuse of the environment from to save. In its place, on the media proscenium, today there are young people who smear paintings in museums, dirty monuments and historic fountains, or block the highways with sit-ins. Like Greta, they say they fight against fossil fuels to save the world. But, like Greta, they are puppets manipulated by billionaire lenders, with an epicenter in the US, who use them to obtain green measures from governments that are essential for new and lucrative financial speculation.

WHO ARE THE PUPPETEERS OF THE PUPPET GRETA THUNBERG

In 2019, when Greta was the new global star of environmentalists, the German weekly Der Spiegel , in an investigation into the background of her descent into the field and her financiers, wrote that she was "a puppet in the hands of lucrative puppeteers". Other investigations, which I reported on ItaliaOggi on 18 December 2019, revealed that the global icon of Greta Thunberg had been built by Mark Carney, former governor of the Bank of England, and Al Gore, former US vice president and environmentalist from always, the first as a financial strategist, the second for the cultural and media side.

WHO ARE THE MONKEYS WHO SUPPORT CLIMATE ACTIVIST

Today to discover the altars of the Green Church is an investigation by the conservative weekly Washington Examiner , which mentions the names and surnames of the billionaires and self-styled charitable organizations which, from their left-wing American living rooms, finance and organize groups in the USA and Europe of green protest. «Many of these groups», writes Gabe Kaminsky, investigative reporter, «are funded by the Climate Emergency Fund (CEF), a charity based in Beverly Hills, linked to Hollywood celebrities and major liberal non-profit organizations that aim to shape the agenda of the Democratic Party». By extension, conditioning environmental policies both in the US and in Europe.

The Cef fund was founded in 2019 by well-known people in the US: Rory Kennedy, daughter of the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Trevor Neilson, an investor who worked for the Melinda & Gates Foundation and is linked to famous philanthropists. Among the financiers and members of the board of directors, Aileen Getty, billionaire philanthropist and heiress of the fortune amassed by the Getty family with oil, a fossil source that today she defies ridicule, and Adam McKay, Hollywood director of the film Don' stand out. t look up of 2021, a climate allegory.

The latter, the investigation points out, has pledged for 4 million dollars. The sums made available by the other lenders are not known, many of whom are Hollywood celebrities: Jeremy Strong, who plays Kendall Roy in the TV series Succession; comedian Chelsea Handler; actor Thomas Middleditch, star of Silicon Valley, and Abigail Disney, daughter of former executive of the company of the same name Roy Disney. However, on its website, the Climate Emergency Fund admits that in 2022 it distributed more than $5 million in grants to 44 global entities, trained 45,000 activists and generated over 24,000 "good press results". An unprecedented green organizational and media offensive.

WHO FINANCES LAST GENERATION

The executive director of the CEF is Margaret Klein Salamon, a Harvard graduate, a clinical psychologist turned climate activist. It is she who distributes the funds to the various groups of demonstrators, connected via a network called A22, which admits on its website that the CEF is its "main financier".

Among the organizations that report to A22 and receive funds from it to train activists and organize protests, the Washington Examiner mentions two groups in particular, Declare Emergency and Just Stop Oil (two of their activists poured red tomato soup on a Van Gogh painting estimated at $84 million), as well as "an Italian group called Ultima Generazione, or Last Generation, who sent activists in July 2022 to glue themselves to Sandro Botticelli's famous painting 'Primavera' in Florence". It is the group of the same guys who have just poured coal dust into the Trevi Fountain and the Barcaccia in the Spanish Steps, organized various roadblocks with sit-ins on Rome's ring road, defaced the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence and the monument in the square of the Duomo in Milan. Idiot hooliganism against art.

THE OBJECTIVES

The goal declared by Salamon, the manager of the CEF, is to reach 3.5% of consensus in the polls with these protests, a figure indicated by the political scientist Erica Chenoweth as a necessary basis for political success. Although so far the demonstrations of the monument-smearers have received almost unanimous condemnations from public opinion, both in Europe and in the USA, the site of the Cef fund boasts, among its results, the "strong influence" exercised by its activists on the senator Usa, Joe Manchin, whose vote was decisive for the approval of the IRA (Inflation reduction act), the 740 billion dollar spending law for the climate and green energy passed last year in the USA and signed by Joe Biden. By contrast, a center-right think-tank, the American Action Fund, estimates that the Green New Deal, which aims to ban fossil fuels, risks costing US taxpayers $93 trillion. As for Italy, it would suffice to note that in the flooded Romagna, if there hadn't been fossil fuels to guarantee relief with transport fueled by petrol and diesel, and the electric motor had already been mandatory, the disaster would have been even worse .
