Extinction Rebellions threatens to blow up pipelines, kill politicians
2021-12-03
[HotAir] If you’re not familiar with David Takayoshi Suzuki, he’s a Canadian television presenter who focuses on climate change and other environmental issues. In fact, he’s frequently referred to as the “Godfather of the Canadian environmental movement.” He’s found himself in a bit of hot water, however, following a speech he gave at a rally held by the eco-terrorism group Extinction Rebellion. During his presentation, Suzuki went much further than simply calling for reductions in carbon emissions and more renewable energy. Unless the group’s demands are met, he declared that there would be “pipelines blown up.” Despite apologizing later for remarks that he said were made “out of extreme frustration,” the group he was addressing seized on his words and then went several steps further.

You might be wondering where groups like Extinction Rebellion get all of the money required to put on such large events and distribute their promotional material. The linked report indicates that they are actually very well funded. They receive millions of dollars in donations from people including Rory Kennedy (daughter of RFK) and Aileen Getty, a descendent of the famous oil tycoon. They have a group of wealthy British millionaires sending them cash across the pond as well.
The Energy In Depth article gives more names in the Canadian branch and some of the English funders in this very international branch of the Black Bloc movement.

#2  Of course, Procopius2k. They’re international terrorists, not only in themselves but as part of the Black Bloc movement that goes back to the Antifa group the Soviet Union created to battle Nazi Brownshirts in German streets.

#1  However they're not identified as 'white supremacist' so they won't be classified as domestic terrorists.
