Regarding the petroleum billionaires, that makes complete sense. As a structural geologist, I have met some of these people and been courted by them. They knew the truth about climate change from the very beginning, yet they funded a disinformation campaign to keep it covered up as long as possible so they could continue to maximize their profit.
They also knew very well that the planet's inventory of fossil fuels is nonrenewable resource. Still, they pumped like crazy to feed the worldwide hunger that they helped descend into hyperdrive, all to feed their hunger for profits in power.
Now we are approaching the end of the gravy train. At the same time we are increasingly suffering the effects of climate change. If we are to survive, we need to change our society from the bottom up, and we'll need the billions of dollars then milked from the global public and the planet in order to make these changes.
They know what's ahead. That's why they are building their billion dollar underground bunkers, where they can sit safely while the rest of humanity crashes. If we do not make fundamental changes right now, within another five to ten years, agriculture is going to crash due to climate change, unsustainable practices, rising fossil fuel prices, and the depletion of the aquifers that irrigate most of the world's farmland.
So yeah, a lot of work we're seeing right now is an attempt to keep our attention away from the crises looming over our shoulders, and to keep us divided one against the other, instead of realizing who is our true enemy. Financing the anti-trans hysteria is a major part of this.
We are the perfect target for them to vilify in the eyes of the reactionary right, and the nationalist christians. More than that, the attack on trans people allows them to make inroads in curtailing the rights of all people, particularly women.
I haven't even brought the Curtis Yergin cult into the discussion. Nor the advance of AI, which is accelerating resource depletion as they use it to build an authoritarian technocracy.
It's about time that Gordon Guyana has finally woken up to reality and i hope he will speak out as loudly for trans affirming care as he has against it.
I applaud NYC, CHGO, and the Five Northern Va Districts of their support of trans kids I hope that more cities and states will have the backbone to stand up to this administration.
Bullies like Trump only understand continued strong pushback
Thank you Erin! I love the name, “The Lavender Ledger” - is absolutely perfect.
