A message to the environmental movement: Your movement has been hijacked
Corbett report ^ | 25 November, 2009 | James Corbett

Transcript: This is James Corbett of corbettreport.com and I come here today with a message for you.

You the environmentalists, you the activists, you the campaigners.

You who have watched with growing concern the ways in which the world around us has been ravaged in the pursuit of the almighty dollar.

You who are concerned with the state of the planet that we are leaving for our children and our grandchildren and those generations yet unborn.

This is not a message of divisiveness, but cooperation.

This is a message of hope and empowerment, but it requires us to look at a hard and uncomfortable truth:

Your movement has been usurped by the very same financial interests you thought you were fighting against.

No it hasn’t.

The “Green” Movement has *ALWAYS* been about control. Always.

It’s more accurately characterized as the Watermelon Movement.

Green on the outside, RED on the inside.

The environmental movement was not hijacked.

It was founded on a poor philosophical foundation. It will always be bad as a result. Like Islam.

Let's be 100 percent clear here. This 'movement' wasn't founded because of poor philosophy. It was founded on bullshit. These people, all of them are liars who hide their real twisted motives; they want to decimate the human population and control what's left of it.

No it hasn't been hijacked. It cannot be hijacked because it doesn't belong to the whackos...and hasn't belonged all along.

You whackos are just useful idiots.

George Soros and his ilk are your owners. Once you have managed to exterminate most of the planet, they'll keep a few of you to service their needs and the rest of you will go to the ovens.

The Greenshirts have always been fascists.

Always have been. Always will be.

Actually it was. Marxism and Socialism were at the heart of that philosophy.

Domination and control of others isn’t what I’d call ‘philosophy’ it is just pure evil.

It’s an evil philosophy. Can we agree on that much?

I agree with you mike-zed, but I think as conservatives we can also agree its not good to p## upstream from our drinking supply. In other words, there is nothing wrong with clean air and water and soil. The question is, where is that balance between being good stewards of our resources and continued prosperity?

We can say common sense dictates, but we have seen the results of some of that "common sense" with burning rivers, black skies and deforested mountains and those said mountains reduced to a pit in the ground.

We need minerals, wood and other resources to prevent us from living in mud huts and becoming gatherers; but, we also need to ensure that our exploitation of nature is logical, in balance, and repairable.

I am in full support of a plan that encompasses a "Drill Here, Drill Now" philosophy, as long it is coupled with a "Manhattan" style project to develop the next generation fuel source. If we are to "Drill Here, Drill Now", then that oil needs to stay in the US and those profits for "national" companies as well as the federal coffers.

If that oil is on public land, then the public needs to benefit from it. Thus, only national companies selected for drilling and extraction, thus generating national profits and jobs that flow downhill.

Those profits should be split between the selected national companies and the Federal Government. On the Federal government side, the oil revenues would be used to fund that "Manhattan" style project mentioned above.

My hope is that in the short term we have a suitable oil supply to fuel our nation, create jobs up and downstream and for the long term, develop the future systems and infrastructure.
