Sept. 13—One of the co-founders of the Extinction Rebellion organization we profile here, Roger Hallam, made a video in August 2019 for its web site, in which he advised the climate demonstrators why, in this “climate emergency,” they must accept money from “rich people who are capitalists.” These wealthy people are beset with climate anxiety, he told his supporters:
We’re dealing with people who cry at night, just as we do. We don’t want them to commit suicide. No! We want them to ring us up and give us that million quid [$1.3 million].
Very rich people, indeed, support the Extinction Rebellion, which calls itself XR for short.
The same billionaires who aim to make large profits with so-called “green finance” schemes for high-tax, high-cost “renewable energy” technologies, are financing XR. According to Extinction Rebellion documents acquired by Breitbart News, the mega-speculator and financier of so many No-Good Organizations (NGOs), George Soros, topped XR’s list of eco-anxious donors, although the amount he gave was blacked out in the relevant document. Other European funds have come from the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, which gave no less than £121,140 (about $155,000). This is the foundation of the notorious, mercenary London-based hedge fund, The Children’s Investment Fund Management, founded and run by Sir Chris Hohn. The CEO of this foundation, which has an endowment of over £2 billion, is Kate Hampton, who also serves as Vice Chair of the key European Climate Foundation and a board member of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP).
