Rio de Janeiro (AFP) – Many high-profile figures seeking to denounce the fires in the Amazon — from Madonna and Cristiano Ronaldo to Leonardo DiCaprio and Emmanuel Macron — have unwittingly ended up misleading millions on social media, either sharing photographs of the region that are years old or images taken in other parts of the world.

Anyone else remember the fake “Spotted Owl” that was fabricated I think back in the 90’s?
Someone was planting fake Spotted Owl remains in the Oregon forest.

the day of Christ is at hand...they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie

Doesn’t everybody flock to a Hollywood Celebrity that lives in Make Believe World and Plays Pretend their whole life, to see what to think about important issues??

Sadly, some ignorant and liberal people do look to Hollywood idiots for guidance on what they should think.

The Left damages their own causes by being such massive liars.

The Amazon Rain forest is a pet favorite of mine. It’s a massive wilderness area, and it seems like a shame to take massive bites out of it. I liken it to killing the golden goose.

Still, in the overall scheme of things, I want to be honestly informed about what is taking place there.

You get these hyperventilating people spouting all sort of slanted nonsense. You know it’s nonsense by the way they report it.

In one report I watched this morning the host talked about a national leader that was supposedly very anti-nature. They talked about his anti-homosexual agenda, and his dislike for transgenders. And then they spouted out the lie that it’s unfortunate, but he is just like Trump. That’s pure B. S.

Once they have outed themselves in this manner, you know it’s just a propaganda fest.

By the end of the presentation the host had urged everyone to stop eating beef, go vegan, and be the last hope for planet Earth.

The person went so far as to say, “Even if we have the global debate wrong, think how much better the planet will be, if we adopt the policies I am advocating for.”

If you call them on any point they have made, you’re dismissed as an ignorant enemy of the planet/mankind.

These people are so lost in space, they can’t even grasp that they wrap themselves in a fantasy that leaves no room for any other opinion than their own. “Why even if I’m wrong, it’s still a great thing for the planet!”

They’ve been brainwashed. What is going on is tantamount to a disease, spreading to those who come into contact literally or through media, with those who are already infected.

This needs to be outed everywhere.

These people need to be seen for the idiots they are, and the massive movement they have sought to build globally to cower people into adopting their mindset or else.

Idiot Liberals in Chicago are blaming President Trump. Because of the Tariffs on Soy Beans, the farmers are burring down the forests to plant more Soy Beans to sell to China. All Trump’s fault.
