Really great points and a well written article.

I'll remind you though that (I believe you support him for president) RFK jr. is still suckered by the global warming scam despite more and more irrefutable evidence that it's another globalist/corporate invention to control and bilk the population. The points you laid out here have no chance if they are clouded by a fake schema dreamed up by the likes of klausy and billy.

There are no government solutions, only government-made problems. Realize this and your eyes become wide open.

Why aren't there more people fighting for regenerative foods and more organics, both will help the environmental movement. The CO2 stuff is really nonsense but nobody will tell the truth about it. Read all about this on naturalnews.com, one of the few sites that tells the truth.

We all smell something reeking to proverbial high heaven in Net Zero and the corporatefaux religious invasive zeal of climate action---that little climate hourglass with wings on Amazon belying the fact that that company's packaging alone is probably eating up whole swathes of old growth---but it is too complex for most of us to analyze for ourselves, so we turn to politicized sources. To start something that might align people beyond the left- old school liberal- right divide would be magnificent. In the old days there used to be teach-ins, which could include all the strange bedfellows, like the Defeat the Mandates alliance, teaching together on how things really are and what can be done that isn't a corporate scam to rob us, our great grandchildren and the cosmos itself.

I have been reading Clemens Arvay's books on eco-psychosomatics, and I found a passage on lichen, which I posted to Covid and Coffee, where the political persuasions are mostly very different from my own. Fungi and algae TOGETHER united as lichen take over the most hostile environments successfully!

"...The fungus forms a lichen body and offers the alga a damp hiding place in its folds and nooks where it does not dry out. It provides the alga with water and in return receives carbohydrates that the alga makes through photosynthesis, which the fungus is not capable of. United as lichen, algae and fungi conquer even the most inhospitable of habitats together. There, where nothing else can grow, they take root together. In this way, they even grow on naked boulders and with united forces are capable of transforming the ground into new soil for other plants over time.....soil and vegetation slowly emerge on the boulder, and plants cover the stone in a green blanket" from The Biophilia Effect

Meryl: This re your licence: DeSantis is defanging the medical boards in FL, perhaps you can consider moving your practice there...

Thank you so much for circulating this wonderful article! As a former environmentalist and climate emergency advocate, I am so heartened to see respected leaders in the environmental movement speaking out about the hijacking, which has been taboo in the new authoritarian-loving left. I breathe a sigh of relief - perhaps this will awaken a few more of those whose caring for the earth has been so cleverly used to further an agenda which is completely OK with collateral damage in human health and ecosystem destruction.

So funny. I just read the defenders email and posted this exact article on twitter. Yes! Sounds awesome to me.

"So It Protects Freedom, Too" - this implies that the current 'environmental' movement is protecting the environment. Which it blatantly is not. In many well known instances, quite the opposite is happening.

What we need is Emergency Power reforms. If they can't get us with another biowaepon they will declare climate emergencies and lock everyone down - just watch

We’ve gone from terror alert levels to COVID alert levels to CO2 alert levels in a few short years. What’s next?

I have a rich friend who is a climate-change consultant. She drives a Tesla and charges it with a diesel generator when she’s at her country house. She flies first class. She maintains two opulent households. She is the poster child for the climate movement!

However, he does tell the truth about many things that the gov't lies about like the CO2 issue that I mentioned in my comment. He does fear-monger but people should be afraid about a lot of what is going on. It also makes people get off their butts and do something like prepping. I don't mind that he makes money from selling prepper products. He's also the only one who thought enough about organic food to make a 25 year org food prep package.

"Climate change" is the next "coronavirus pandemic." Obvious things will be ignored, like weather manipulation, geoengineering and the effects of toxins dumped into our environment.

I really like RFKJ - his honesty and integrity are a healing balm to this nation's wounds. AND, AT THE SAME TIME, we all need to be aware of the possibility that he will bring in the next stage of worldwide authoritarian control (either purposefully or accidentally). Allison McDowell's video this morning is a must watch on the subject:

Have to remember that many well-intentioned movements end up being co-opted by the Oligarchs and then turned into activist or propaganda outfits to move their agenda forward. Often this results in divide and conquer strategery being played against the Oligarchs’ perceived enemies. Their number one enemy being the American Middle class right now.

In my climate warrior days, I had followed Dr. Bendell and his Deep Adaptation movement. They were the only people openly acknowledging how society was heading for collapse due to not dealing with the climate. Your article informs me that he and I both underwent a transformation during the pandemic years, discovering the centrality of freedom.

Noticing how the rhetoric on climate change was a parallel to the WEF's rhetoric on vaccines, I've moved away from my decades of climate work. I see the scam... I have a left perspective, but have worked with people on the right, and recognize that this is the only way forward.
