Russia’s Influence and Funding of Environmental Groups
These attacks lead to new regulations and restrictions on American oil, which then reduces the amount of international competition for Russian products.
Much of the money is spent lobbying the development of hydraulic fracturing or fracking for natural gas and oil in the Untied States.
Fracking allowed the US to pass Russia and become the largest oil and natural gas producer in the world in 2015 and this lowered the global price of oil. Low oil prices have greatly harmed Russia’s economy.
The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), the Sierra Club and the League of Conservation Voters accepted donations of $13.5, $15, and $18.1 million from the Sea Change Foundation. The Sea Change Foundation got $23 million from the shell corporation Klein Ltd, which only exists on paper.
Klein Ltd has deep ties to Russian energy investment groups like Firebird New Russian Fund and Vimpelcom Ltd. Klein Ltd is incorporated in the Bahamas and thus doesn’t have to disclose its doners reports Andrew Follett. (1)
In January 2017, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued a report stating there is ‘clear evidence that the Kremlin is financing and choreographing anti-fracking propaganda in the United States.’
A 2018 Republican staff report by the Senate shows that Russian funds have been funneled through off-shore corporations and passed on to US based environmental activist organizations with the intent to effect political change. (2)
Through social media Russian operatives encouraged protests to block pipeline construction and prevent new oil and gas extraction projects, among other activities.
Patrick Hyne reports, “Progressive environmentalism gave Vladimir Putin the keys to invade the Ukraine.” Despite America’s warnings and Russia’s proven record of weaponizing energy, most of Europe transitioned to renewables too hastily and abandoned nuclear energy, filling in the large gaps by importing Russian gas and trusting Putin not to weaponize it.
They became to dependent that they have to carefully craft sanctions to avoid punishing Russia’s oil and gas exports, its most important source of revenue.
This is shameful and it’s time to give up on the radical climate policies pushed by influential groups like the Sierra Club, Natural Resources Defense Council and Greenpeace. (3)
Patrick Hyne concludes, “Ukraine, is the first country to become a victim of ‘Greenpeace environmentalism,’ and it certainly won’t be the last unless we emphatically condemn and reject the reckless energy policies that got us here.”

Governments know the green agenda is a pathway to ruin and rather than make a u-turn they make the greenies the guilt party and look fraudulent.

The environmental lobby, originally kickstarted by the Club of Rome along with overpopulation guru Paul Erlich has always been a front group for the Zionist parasitic elite and used to destroy the western economies and plunder all the livestock in the name of “Sustainable Development.”
Russia, like China are in the same syndicate so each must play their assigned roles. China had the bat soup for kicking off the fake virus and now our once great Allie, then “Cold War” nemesis is not only rigging our fake elections and “invading” their own sectioned off territory but funding those pesky tree huggers. Next thing you know they will be sending reinforcements in for the FBI’s ANTIFA – Proud Boys crisis actor events.

There was a lot on you tube about the neo Nazis in Ukraine but back from 2014 and not terribly recent. Only thing is, there was not much neo about them. The Azov kids are now seeing the Chechens as heroes. Sending them to Chechniya may be a good idea.

Hello Artelia:
There are no doubt some paid actors like BLM – ANTIFA, fronting as Neo NAZI’s. There are at least three sites on Bitchute pushing the Zionist operative Hitler to keep this segment pumped up. If you try to post evidence to expose the NAZI fakes they will delete you, just like Fetzer does if you reveal that Nukes like his buddy Olson pushes (unequivocal Nukes) are fake he will delete the comment. They can’t tolerate the truth. The parasitic elite are running both sides of the staged conflict in Ukraine as they did the fake riots here.

Twenty-five years ago, I started to suspect that varies environmental groups
that we supported were turning bad. We dropped all three of them, as it
could be seen that they were leftest tools.

Hi Hans:
They didn’t turn bad. They were always fronts for the Club of Rome elite that began with Rockefeller shill and “Canadian businessman” Maurice Strong. This environmental scam was launched by the Jew media at about the same time as Earth Day and overpopulation Guru Paul Ehrlich. The goal has always been to brainwash enough sheep beginning at an early age so they will become environmental extremists and useful idiots for the multi billionaire class who seek total control. While climate control (formerly global warming) has always been the elephant in the distance (always in our final decade). these same criminals have hit the jackpot with the fake virus.
