Rockefellers Fund Global-warming Protests as Earth Cools
NewAmerican ^ | 27 October 2009 | Alex Newman

All across the world, collections of global-warming protestors financed by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund gathered on October 24 to call for forceful “climate change” action at the United Nations summit in Copenhagen, Denmark, this December.

Most of the gatherings were minuscule, even in big cities, but the effort did receive widespread publicity. According to organizers cited by Agence France-Presse, over 5,000 demonstrations were held in more than 180 countries.

The protestors rallied around the motif of “350” — the supposed level of carbon dioxide in parts per million that some scientists claim is an acceptable ceiling. They carried signs and unfurled banners reading 350, even forming themselves into giant human numbers to illustrate their point.

"We had no idea we would get the overwhelming support, enthusiasm and engagement from all over the world that we're seeing," explained Bill McKibben, a climate-change activist who founded the Rockefeller-funded organization 350.org that coordinated the day of protests. "It shows just how scared of global warming much of the planet really is, and how fed up at the inaction of our leaders."

Ironically, recent surveys indicate that most Americans do not believe global warming is a serious problem or even caused by human activity at all. And several other ironies in this saga become immediately apparent as well.

The continual charge that so-called “deniers” are financed by oil companies should finally be put to rest, considering that a significant share of the Rockefeller family fortune came and continues to come from oil. Several oil companies have financed past McKibben efforts as well.

I’m sick and tired of billion dollar marxists telling me that I’m not paying enough taxes and how we need to expand the powers of government over our lives.

Rockefeller, Rockefeller....Oh, yeah, Standard Oil. Carbon emissions. Perhaps the family, who became filthy rich from fossil fuels, would be prepared to divest themselves of their fortune, being that it was their family who created the whole problem in the first place. I would hold my breath, but I do so love breathing.

from your link:

imposition of a global tyranny over every aspect of human activity which becomes evident once you strip away the rhetorical devices and eco-socialist jargon

People are waking up.
