Climate Emergency Fund is an eco-money laundering scheme

May 26, 2023 -

The non-profit Climate Emergency Fund (CEF) admits its mission is to "raise funds for and make grants to the disruptive nonviolent climate movement." It did a whole lot more than that, though, having given away $5.1 million to 44 "ultra-ambitious" climate extremist groups in 2022 alone.

When we say "ultra-ambitious," what we mean are groups in the business of illegal vandalism. While technically non-violent just so long as no actual people are harmed, such illegal vandalism ...

In February, SFM became the largest shareholder in Audacy – the second-largest radio company in the U.S. that later became bankrupt. Audacy boasted having more than 230 U.S. radio stations and a podcasting arm ...

June 07, 2023 -

On May 31, the Chicago City Council passed the $51 million funding for migrants via a 34-13 vote. The funding came amid a surge of immigrants because of the border crisis inflicted by President Joe Biden's soft migration policies.

October 24, 2023 -

The IDF official said civilian infrastructure allegedly being used by Hamas "turns a private home into a legitimate target." (Related: Israeli military gets "green light" to enter Gaza and begin ground offensive.)

Chip Roy and 14 other Texas lawmakers, are urging the majority to oppose funding for Biden's migration program. They argued that funding a federal agency at war with their state and people goes against their moral obligation to protect the nation.

"There should be no funding without proper border security," they said.
