Many of us have long believed that the true goal of the environmental movement is socialism. Below are just a few examples that provide proof of just that. These documents may be well known to some of you, but I had to go “undercover” as a liberal environmentalist to obtain proof of their motives.
Most of the excerpts shown here are from the Environmental Research Foundation. The Environmental Research Foundation isn’t just some small "fringe" group. No, they distribute their nutty tripe to more than 3,500 (including the EPA and ACLU for example) organizations worldwide. You can see which organizations subscribe to their newsletters by going HERE.
Finally, You can see the archive to many more telling articles by going to their searchable index of newsletters from 1986 to 1998 by going HERE or by going to their current site HERE.

The grass roots environmental movement is engaged in a struggle that cuts to the heart of the American system. The outcome will determine the kind of nation our children inherit. - August 1, 1988 Environmental Research Foundation
“Critics often say there is too much free trade but might not the problem be too little tax? Used well, tax is a civilizing influence on capitalism. It can bring intelligence to the operation of the free market. It can take some of the profits created through trade and redistribute them for public benefit.” -Earth Summit 2002 GREENPEACE
WE STAND IN PERIL OF LOSING OUR LIBERTY AND OUR LIVES--THE HEALTH OF OUR PLANET AND OF OUR CHILDREN--IF WE DO NOT LEARN TO CONTROL CORPORATE BEHAVIOR. THIS MUST BECOME A CENTRAL FOCUS OF OUR WORK, LOCALLY, NATIONALLY, AND WORLDWIDE. THE BEHAVIOR OF CORPORATIONS IS CENTRAL TO EVERY DANGER THAT THREATENS US. THERE IS NO MORE CRUCIAL CHALLENGE THAT WE FACE. - October 21, 1992. Environmental Research Foundation
“It is a curious fact of history that the environmental movement has never focused its attention on the corporate charter as a means of controlling corporate behavior. Now that seems likely to change.” – October 28, 1992 Environmental Research Foundation
“Instead, why doesn't the environmental movement come together to discuss a new strategy --one that asserts the right of a sovereign people to control subordinate entities like corporations? We could lawfully shift the burden of proof onto the purveyors of poisons. We could legitimately deny them the protections of the Bill of Rights. (Rule of thumb: if it doesn't breathe, it isn't protected as a person under the Constitution). We could legally define what corporations can and cannot do. Let's get together and focus our energy on DEFINING (not regulating) corporations.” - July 3, 1997 Environmental Research Foundation
“...we believe we are the master species, and that the rest of creation exists for our benefit. We are free to do with it as we please. This completely wrong idea, this suicidal fantasy, is explored with wit and wisdom in Daniel Quinn's philosophical novel, ISHMAEL (Bantam, 1995). As Quinn sees it, either we will get rid of this deep-seated idea, or this idea will get rid of us.”
“What could we do differently? We could put the burden of proof on those who want to deploy new technologies, similar to the way we put the burden of proof on people who want to sell new pharmaceutical drugs.” – December 26, 1996 Environmental Research Foundation
“These days, environmental fights really boil down to your ability to turn one social institution against another, to whack your adversaries with the biggest institutional 2x4 you can find. The media is one of the best 2x4s around, and one that is accessible to you if you approach it right.” - January 11, 1988 Environmental Research Foundation
By stopping new disposal projects, the price of disposal can be driven up, giving waste creators a real incentive to produce less.
No doubt about it, this strategy is working. The cost of disposal is now anywhere from $500 to $1000 for a ton of hazardous waste, and anywhere from $30 to $120 per ton for municipal solid waste. - October 3, 1991 Environmental Research Foundation
The world's best hope is a citizen's movement bent on reforming the heart of the beast: the corporate charter. The charter is the legal document that gives a company like DuPont the right to exist. If its charter contained language decreeing that it must "Do no harm," DuPont today would stand in real danger of losing its right to exist. This, more than anything else, would get the attention of corporate executives and civilize their behavior. - November 13, 1991 Environmental Research Foundation
Corporations are simply not democratic. Indeed, many corporations are not only UNdemocratic, they are also aggressively ANTI-democratic, seeking to undermine efforts to expand democratic decision-making within the U.S. and in many countries overseas. Corporations tend to be patriarchal (in general). They tend to reinforce and maintain a male chauvinist tradition. - January 22, 1998 Environmental Research Foundation
With the ridiculously low interest rates banks are paying today, it's better to keep most of your cash on hand in a safe in your house.
That's called fascism.
On the Quinn in the Morning show this morning, at the very end, he took a call from a geological scientist aligned with the oil industry and he (the scientist) said that we are banned from drilling all along the East coast and the Gulf.
Canada, he further mentioned, drills up to the US line in Lake Erie for gas, but is forbidden to take oil if it's there ... they have to plug it.
If the EPA can stop our drilling and acquiring our own oil, we are then forced to get foreign oil ... subjecting ourselves to OPEC and the resulting gas prices.
Socialists must become extinct!
We are winning ~ the bad guys are losing ~ trolls, terrorists, democrats and the mainstream media are sad ~ very sad!
For all the Environazi's out there:
Yes, they are, which exposes their true socialist agenda. For instance, Richard Blum, aka Mr. Diane Fienstien, who heads the World Wildlife fund and so many corporate interests I can't begin to list them. The others, the useful idiots, college students, etc. have no idea the agenda they are pushing.
