This looks to me like there's some self-destruction going on in the environmental movement, of the same type going on in the democratic party. They're turning on each other. This article does not recognize that even all the money they say is spent "on the environment" is actually spent getting more land under government control. The elitists in charge of these organizations, who favor high salaries, great offices and spectacular parties for themselves, essentially want control of our lives, through control of resources (ie land).

I'm glad the author mentions that much of their fund-raising rhetoric is untrue; I wish he'd separated that 'flood of donations' into those from individuals, corporations and foundations. It's my understanding that donations from small donors to these kinds of groups have DROPPED dramatically, but foundations are lavishing money on environmental groups. Those groups are then, because of the grants, pursuing programs that meet the goals of the foundations - primarily more central control of us to build their utopian new world.

Anyway, the more dissent in the environmental movement, the better for our individual rights!

And to protect their logging and mining interests over seas.
