Dark money fund poured millions of dollars into eco activist groups blocking highways, destroying famous art (only 7.18 years left)

FIRST ON FOX: A fledgling dark money climate group poured millions of dollars last year into disruptive activist protests that blocked busy highways and destroyed famous artwork in cities across the world, according to tax filings obtained by Fox News Digital.

The Beverly Hills, California-based, Climate Emergency Fund (CEF) - which has been funded in large part by Hollywood actors and producers since it was founded in 2019 - raised $6.1 million in 2022, a 165% increase from the $2.3 million it raised in 2021, the tax filings showed. The sharp increase in funding led to CEF sending $5 million to left-wing protest groups, a 274% year-over-year increase.

"Climate Emergency Fund is proud to support some of the boldest, bravest climate activists in the world who are not just fighting but are winning," Margaret Klein Salamon, CEF's executive director, told Fox News Digital in a statement. "Throughout history, organized, passionate, and dedicated people have awakened the public's conscience to injustice and achieved change that was once considered impossible."

"That’s why the Climate Emergency Fund supports activist organizations that engage in non-violent protest and civil disobedience worldwide," she said. "We are experiencing global catastrophic climate events, and they are accelerating – from the months-long summer heat waves in Europe to record-low levels of Antarctic sea ice to ocean temperatures that topped 100 degrees off the coast of Florida."

Salamon added the evidence for action is "all around us" and that the world needs to race to zero emissions "as quickly as humanly possible."

In CEF's tax filings, the group stated that the activist organizations it supported last year "brought new life and vigor" to the climate movement. It further reported that its grantees trained more than 15,000 people, their protests included 47,000 people and their actions were covered by global media...

A Hollywood director helping to bankroll Just Stop Oil has been accused of hypocrisy over his lavish holiday home in Ireland – 5,000 miles from his Los Angeles base.

Oscar winner Adam McKay, whose films include the Big Short and Don’t Look Up, is one of a group of multi-millionaires behind the Climate Emergency Fund....

There are legal tools to stop people from funding terrorism. RICO is one. But I suspect you’ll find the same people funding the climate agenda, which is at several points on the spectrum terrorism, are the same one’s funding Democrats. We already know that if you’re funding Democrats, you can murder male prostitutes with impunity. (Ed Buck.)

Image that a person went to such a group to help with their mission by providing services of a rent a mob service to illegally block roads. The activist’s group would not want to perform the illegal action themselves, so they would subcontract the action. Of course payment up front would be required. Now if said subcontractor did not preform, well I’m sure how someone sues for failure to preform an illegal action. So that said subcontractor could drain the accounts of activists without suffering any consequences…… 🧐

Oh I own the movie rights……..

The Hollywood people who give us garbage art are funding the destruction of real art by the likes of Vincent Van Gogh and Diego Velázquez.

I don’t know why they don’t use this money to fill in all the potholes with eco-goonies.

Climate Emergency Fund was cofounded by one of Robert Kennedy’s daughters (Rory Kennedy) and an heir of the Getty family (Aileen Getty). Salamon is originally from Ann Arbor—SDS diaper baby? Former SNL writer Adam McKay and “climate scientist” Rose Abramoff are on their board.

Follow the money trail. It may lead to other trails and dark money fronts. Hillary and the Steele Dossier showed this in spades.
