In the ongoing, mammoth underground ‘Rockefeller vs. Canada Battle’, it’s Rockefeller 0, Canada 1.
You can hear the enviro screams from Canada all the way to the American EPA--latest warrior to join the battle against the long-detained Keystone XL Pipeline.
Just about everyone in the lib-left mainstream media of both Canada and the U.S.A. are shouting rape because of Canada Revenue’s 2013-2014 audit of high-profile environmental groups, including the David Suzuki Foundation, Tides Canada, Environmental Defence, the Pembina Foundation, Eqiuiterre and the Ecology Action Centre, among others.
They’re demanding to know “WHY?”
Though the environmental groups will slice the pie of reasons into thousands of pieces, it’s because the Canadian government finally decided to take a stand for the Canadian Aboriginal people and for Canadian interests.
In doing so, the Canadian Government took on the Goliath of the Environmental money war.
This is the biggest outcome:
The Rockefeller Foundation, leader of the pack of the American billionaires pouring millions into the fake, anti-oilsands shell organizations that flourish in Canada, has had the door slammed in its face.
With stand-off impunity, Rockefeller money runs the enviro world in North America, its deep pockets making it a veritable Goliath. But make no mistake, that red imprint on the Rockefeller Foundation face looks an awful lot like a maple leaf.
“Only in the past year have Canadian politicians woken up to the hundreds of millions of dollars of foreign money pouring in to create fake anti-oilsands shell organizations,” (Ezra Levant, Toronto Sun, March 25, 2013).
The dirty little secret of the Keystone XL Pipeline is out: Rockefeller Foundation cash runs the Keystone Pipeline resistance, and it does so on the backs of poverty-stricken Aboriginal activists.
In fact, “and against their own Indian bands’ interests, too — the oilsands are the largest employers of Aboriginal people in Canada.
Being paid just to hold an anti-oilsands sign and make a little white noise in orchestrated protests goes a long, long way when you have hungry children waiting at home.
With a battle cry as hushed as a farmer’s field in Winter, the Rockefellers came in to the Land of the Maple Leaf with the election of President Barack Obama back in 2008. That’s when the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, headquartered in New York, wrote a 48-page campaign plan targeting Canada’s oilsands.
Someone should show the Rockefellers a map of the 49th parallel.
Big boys with big money that are slippery as fish, up until now could count on camouflage to cover their job-killing anti-Canadian missions.
“They committed to a whopping $7 million yearly budget for this battle, now in its fifth year.” (Levant).
“Page 36 of their plan couldn’t be more clear: They need to put a non-billionaire, non-New York face on their campaign.
“They needed the help of groups like the Indigenous Environmental Network (IEN).
“The plan was conceived and planned and funded and managed by white guys in New York.
“So they made a call down to central casting to order themselves up, to quote their campaign plan, “First Nations and other legal challenges.”
In the ‘Rockefeller Vs. Canada Battle’, celebrities get to sign their names to full-page anti-oilsands newspaper ads, the Indians get to do the grunt work.
Tom Goldtooth from the Indigenous Environmental Network (IEN), based in Minnesota made this telling statement to the Washington Post when he said his Aboriginal activists were pretty much only called upon by white billionaires “when they need something”.
As Levant aptly points out, “the real money in Canadian environmentalism — the most radical money — isn’t Canadian.
“It’s from U.S. billionaires and their foundations.”
Add to the bully boys spreading big money to fight Canada, the U.S.-based Tides Foundation, also pouring millions into vulnerable Indian activists, directing them in a staged play against Canada’s interests.
Now that the cat’s out of the bag, giants of the mainstream media are starting to report on the hideous hypocrisy of the radical environmental movement.
Only recently the Post stepped up to the plate with the somewhat anemic headline: “Within mainstream environmentalist groups, diversity is lacking”.
The Post called out millionaire Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s organization known as the Waterkeepers for being all white guys.
“Is it surprising that out of 200 waterkeepers in his club across America, only one is black?” the Post asked.
“Kennedy’s club is whiter than the wheat board.
“They’re almost as white as the Klan.”
Kennedys’ Waterkeepers , around since 1999, and forging deep trails into Canada for decades, has been whiter than the wheat board for a long time.
Canada continues to let Kennedy play here, but as As Ezra Levant colourfully points out: “See, if it were a trust fund-kid like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — let alone a Rockefeller (whose family billions came from oil) — attacking Canada’s oil industry, we would laugh and run them out of town.”
The same American billionaires who destroy thousands of jobs when they do President Barack Obama’s bidding in Small Town America are no longer welcome in The Land of the Maple Leaf.
They can get out of Dodge and stay out of Dodge.
The fact is that the oilsands--against their own Indian bands’ interests too--happen to be the largest employers of Canada’s Aboriginal people.
And that’s exactly why the Stephen Harper Conservative Government finally slammed the door in the Rockefeller face.
