It's no secret that many U.S. environmental groups have become more strident and ideological during the Obama residency. But you may be surprised just how extreme they have become.
In early October, a national network of environmental groups - called Stop the Frack Attack (STFA) - held a summit in Colorado to discuss their campaign strategies. The STFA alliance is led by Earthworks and includes other well-known national activist groups, such as the Sierra Club, Natural Resources Defense Council and Food & Water Watch. Dozens of smaller groups, which routinely serve as the face of national groups in state- and local-level campaigns to ban domestic energy production, are also part of STFA

to draw inspiration from Argentine Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara, a leading figure in the communist overthrow of Cuba.
...
Ernesto "Che" Guevara, the humanitarian? Flimsy left-wing folklore and T-shirts emblazoned with Guevara's face may have built a myth around the man, but they cannot change history. Guevara was one of Fidel Castro's top henchmen in Cuba and a man who sowed violent extremism across Latin America in the 1950s and 1960s.
...
the STFA alliance didn't downplay the Guevara tribute at all. They embraced it. They promoted the Statesman story over social media and in their compilation of "media hits." They even bragged on their website: "We escalated the fight between the oil and gas industry and communities."
If these groups want to ignore the facts and idolize a Marxist revolutionary who fought on the losing side of the Cold War, that is their right. But it shows that today's environmental groups occupy the fringes of the political debate in this country, which is something that voters and responsible public officials - Republican, Democrat and Independent - deserve to know.

Thanks
So what did they do to honor him, kill a bunch of people and throw them into mass graves?
No, they all wonder around in a circle staring at a compass until a Bolivian Park Ranger smokes’em.
Further proof that 'Environmentalism' is simply Communism by Other Means.
Yep.
Ping to the Trumpinator, this interlocks with your previous thread.
It is but it isn't. It is more of a mutation from the same type of people.
And where was the sierra club puke alert?
That one always gives me a chuckle
STFU.
Neither of those guys is Felix Rodriguez (aka Max Gomez), he was there.
He was consummate old cold warrior. Fierce Anti-Communist Cuban operative.
Thanks for the clarification.
I might be mistaken about the one on the left, but that does not look like any photo I’ve seen of him. There are few of him. Nature of the beast.
Here is a recent one and the bio. He is a very interesting man. Total unwavering patriot.
and look at this photo from during the Contra hearings>
Look at the chin and mouth features.
You may well be right, but I had not seen that photo before.
Here is another photo of Felix which states it is with Che’ the day he was killed.
Not dressed in white shirt & tie.
Rodriguez was involved in many conflicts from Bay of Pigs to long after Contra Era.

On Anniversary of Che Killing, CIA’s Felix Rodriguez Remembers

Che was a killer. The world is a better place without him.
The coward Che actually showed up in Cuba after most of the fighting was finished. He really only managed and participated directly in the murder of thousands of “opposition” citizens, some only in their teens. He enjoyed his “work” and was a stone cold murderer.
He also lead the failed Cuban excursion into the Congo during that country’s long, bloody brutal war. He returned to Cuba with all kinds of tropical illness problems.
It amazes me that he is still worshiped by the left. It is possible to purchase Che crap in almost any store in Argentina.
Thank you Bolivia!
