Keystone XL: The Art of NGO Discourse | Parts I & II 

PART I: Published April 12, 2013 on Counterpunch, Wrong Kind of Green and The Art of Annihilation.

Excerpt: "Very few in the environmental movement wish to discuss, let alone acknowledge, the very ugly reality that the "Stop the KXL!" campaign has absolutely nothing to do with shutting down tar sands production. The actuality is that behind the protest signs (that conveniently blur lines and bear much semblance to the Obama branding campaign), we have an entire rail transport industry burgeoning to transport the oil formerly designated for the KXL pipeline.

PART II: Published June 4, 2013 on Counterpunch, Wrong Kind of Green and The Art of Annihilation.

Excerpt: "Brilliant is the person that could inspire a nation to stand up and systematically destroy the system that is killing us. These people are not brilliant. Rather, they are diabolical. The foundations that support them depend upon industrialized capitalism to grow their investments. The non-profit complex can only be sustained if the foundations' wealth continues to reap the "rewards" of infinite growth. It is unsustainable (not to mention deadly). Without infinite growth, the non-profit complex will collapse. Gone will be the six-figured salaries of the progressive greens. Yet, every day that this system remains intact, turning Earth's remaining natural resources into monetary capital, we are one day closer to our collective annihilation. There will be no winners in this game of 21st century Russian roulette."
