1) Dr Gail Marie Bradbrook: Compassionate Revolutionary\u2026 for hire?<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span> Dear Reader,<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019d guess that you were drawn to open this link for one of two reasons:<\/span><\/p>\n Before going any further, know that our motivation for producing this piece of research is as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019ve been involved in environmental activism for some years, are personally acquainted with people in the networks we\u2019re discussing, and fully support their goal of protecting our planet\u2019s ability to sustain complex life. With that said, we\u2019ve felt for some time that the groups that make up the \u2018climate activism movement\u2019 are majorly amiss in how they\u2019ve been going about achieving said goal, which led us into doing in-depth research into their activities. We\u2019ve been consistently amazed by what we\u2019ve been finding, and as a result feel obliged to share this with others.<\/span><\/p>\n We have put hundreds of hours into creating this presentation, without the prospect or expectation of financial reward; our only hope is that it serves as a wake-up call to the many well-meaning people who\u2019ve accepted what they\u2019ve been told at face value about what stands behind these groups. We appreciate that those of you who\u2019ve found a sense of shared purpose and camaraderie through participating in them will likely find it difficult to engage with what we\u2019re presenting. We can only assure you that our intent in doing this is not malevolent, and suggest that you suspend any initial judgment, examine the material thoroughly, and try not to allow your discernment to be clouded by a sense of group allegiance.<\/span><\/p>\n And to those who are reading this because they aren\u2019t aligned with these groups: we believe that much-needed criticism of the environmental movement in no way negates the basic premise of environmentalism: that humans cannot go on destroying and polluting the soil, water and air of our home indefinitely. Human beings, like all life forms, are inextricably linked to our environment, and what we do to it, we do to ourselves. If for some reason you\u2019ve been led to believe otherwise, we\u2019d suggest looking into the subject more deeply.<\/span><\/p>\n What we\u2019re presenting here is a complex ecosystem, so before we can arrive at a big picture, we\u2019ll need to look at various aspects in turn. Let\u2019s not beat around the bush: there\u2019s a fair bit of material here. If you want to appraise it properly and understand how we\u2019re being misdirected, then you\u2019ll need to set aside some time to do so. After all, the \u2018educational\u2019 system and mass media have been drip-feeding us with pernicious lies for all of our lives; hence it takes a certain amount of commitment to deconstruct and then re-examine those truths we hold as self-evident. (Please note, we have used hyperlinks to provide further background for our claims.)<\/span><\/p>\n The greedy bastards who are, ultimately, the subject of our investigation, have in many cases been in this game for multiple generations; and their forebears took care<\/a><\/strong><\/span> to capture the press, schools and academia a long time ago. In recent years, things have decentralised somewhat with the advent of the internet, but the simultaneous erosion of people\u2019s attention spans has compensated for this, and serves these parties very well. You are of course welcome to close this window and go back to checking your Facebook feed, watching Netflix, or whatever else it was you were doing before you came here; but for those prepared to take a walk with us through this perplexing landscape, there\u2019s work to be done.<\/span><\/p>\n At this point it\u2019d be worth giving a brief insight into what led us to embark on this journey ourselves. Having been actively involved in environmental and land rights campaign groups whose membership directly overlapped with that of the Climate Camp, Occupy and related movements \u2013 which in many ways prepared the ground for the current groups \u2013 we already had a bad taste in our mouths from what we\u2019d witnessed in those circles. Which is to say, that what was passing itself off as \u2018horizontal non-hierarchical consensus-based decisionmaking\u2019 was in our experience anything but; leading us to ask ourselves further questions, and pay attention to what the rare dissenting voices that dared to speak up had to say. Hence, when the buzz around Extinction Rebellion began to circulate through our networks, we were already on the lookout for signs of it being (yet another) controlled opposition group. And find them we did.<\/span><\/p>\n The first major clue came in the form of a presentation<\/a><\/strong><\/span> given by Gail Bradbrook, one of the founders of Extinction Rebellion (XR for short \u2013 the main British group advocating for Climate Mobilisation) at Off-Grid Festival a number of years ago, promoting her Compassionate Revolution\/ Rising Up! concepts\/brands. In it, she referred to Otpor!, the ostensibly \u2018grass-roots\u2019 instigators of the Serbian \u2018Bulldozer Revolution\u2019 of 2000, as \u2018just a bunch of kids\u2019. She also spoke glowingly of Gene Sharp, whose strategies were applied in that and each of the so-called \u2018colour revolutions\u2019 that subsequently swept through various parts of the globe, culminating in the Arab Spring, which in turn inspired many to participate in the Occupy movement.<\/span><\/p>\n Notice the similarity? Click to enlarge<\/p><\/div>\n What she failed to disclose to her audience is the fact that Otpor!, the groups it subsequently spawned in other countries, and Gene Sharp, were all funded by the National Endowment for Democracy: an American NGO whose activities run parallel to the regime-change objectives of the US government, widely considered<\/a><\/strong><\/span> to be a \u2018plausibly deniable\u2019 above-ground arm for CIA meddling. Another notable oversight from her talk was any mention of what replaced the corrupt governments that these activist movements toppled: slick neoliberals, passing \u2018reforms\u2019 that enabled the rapid re-organisation of their economies to suit western multinationals; and in the case of Egypt, the coming of the Muslim Brotherhood to power \u2013 later to be replaced by the military dictatorship of al-Sisi, which persists to this day.<\/span><\/p>\n Furthermore, it is now known (by way of Wikileaks\u2019 \u2018Global Intelligence Files\u2019) that one of the leaders of Otpor!, Srdja Popovic (who after his success in Serbia went on to found CANVAS, a \u2018revolution consultancy\u2019 and receive substantial funding from NED for organising groups in other countries) is well-connected to STRATFOR<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, a private intelligence firm \u201cthat gathers intelligence on geopolitical events and activists for clients ranging from the American Petroleum Institute and Archer Daniels Midland to Dow Chemical, Duke Energy, Northrop Grumman, Intel and Coca-Cola.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n STRATFOR is widely considered to be the private security division of the American intelligence services. Founded in 1996, STRATFOR came to prominence during the NATO bombing of Serbia in 1999 when its \u2018cutting-edge analysis\u2019 provided everything that the mainstream news networks needed to know. The company\u2019s geopolitical analysis on the \u2018war on terror\u2019 is head-lined by the likes of the Associated Press, Reuters and the BBC. Without going into great detail (that we\u2019ll do later), an influential figure within STRATFOR named Ronald Duchin promulgated a formula for incapacitating anti-corporate activist movements, which Max Wilbert, in his book \u2018We Choose to Speak & other essays\u2019, describes as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSTRATFOR advocates are dividing movements into four character types: radicals, idealists, realists, and opportunists. These camps can then be dealt with summarily: First, isolate the radicals. Second, \u201ccultivate\u201d the idealists and \u201ceducate\u201d them into becoming realists. And finally, co-opt the realists into agreeing with industry. This is how movements are neutralized: those who should be allies are divided, infighting becomes rampant, and paranoia rules the roost. To combat these strategies, we must understand the danger they represent and how to counter them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n As unlikely as this may sound to some of you, we would contend that isolating the radicals, educating the idealists into becoming realists, and co-opting the realists into agreeing with industry is precisely what the Climate Mobilisation movement is engaged in doing. Fear not \u2013 we\u2019ll be providing ample evidence for our accusation below, and in the articles to follow.<\/span><\/p>\n And lest you feel that we\u2019re placing undue emphasis on Gail Bradbrook\u2019s reference to the events in Serbia, we\u2019d like to point out that Gene Sharps\u2019s long-time employee Jamila Raqib (who has now become the Executive Director of Sharp\u2019s Albert Einstein Institute,<\/em> following his death) just so happens to sit on the Advisory Board of \u2018The Climate Mobilization\u2019 \u2013 a group set up by Extinction Rebellion\u2019s \u2018Director of Fundraising\u2019, Margaret Klein Salamon.<\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.theclimatemobilization.org\/advisory-board<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Jamila Raqib<\/p><\/div>\n In addition, if we look at the references\/further reading list in XR co-founder \u2018Roger\u2019 Hallam\u2019s \u2018How to Win<\/strong><\/span>\u2019<\/a> (on which much of XR\u2019s strategy appears to be based) he names Popvic\u2019s \u2018Blueprint for Revolution\u2019 as \u201cthe KEY TEXT!\u201d:<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cA must read on how good organisation and a determination to have fun are the key to mass participatory action to bring down autocratic regimes \u2013 from the people who have done it, so you can\u2019t argue with that! Again note that the context is taking on dictators \u2013 but as the subtitle implies \u2013 these mechanisms and techniques enable you to \u201cchange the world\u201d \u2013 and increasingly they apply to the political realities of the western \u201cdemocracies\u201d.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Well, they<\/em> certainly \u2018did it\u2019, we\u2019ll give you that much. Given that XR are promoting the \u2018colour revolution\u2019 model, it stands to reason that an essential component of this model would be (as it was with the \u2018colour revolutions\u2019) the financial backing of those who stand to benefit from the changes brought about by such \u2018activism\u2019; as well as the collusion of the bought-and-paid-for media that serve those interests. And yes, that very much includes The Guardian \u2013 those charming cheerleaders<\/a><\/strong><\/span> for \u2018liberal\u2019 imperialism. As it happens, it appears that this very same model is about to be rolled out in Venezuela<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, as America tries to install its puppet, Juan Guaid\u00f3, to enable more efficient extraction of Venezuela\u2019s oil resources<\/span><\/p>\n In 2011, Journeyman Pictures released a 27-minute documentary called \u2018The Revolution Business\u2019, which provides a rare view behind the facade of the manufactured \u2018colour revolutions\u2019. Considering how closely XR appears to be following their lead, we reckon that you might do well to take a look at it.<\/span><\/p>\n
