#FridaysForFuture:
4500 climate strikes in over 100 countries. Several million protesters demand that governments around the World “take action” on the devastating environmental impacts of climate change.
Many of the climate activists point to the destructive impacts of global capitalism on their lives.
“Capitalism = death (or extinction)”.
“Cancel Capitalism.”
People’s lives are destroyed. Politicians are coopted by the corporate giants including Big Oil. The economic, environmental and social structures are undermined. The outcome is a process of Worldwide impoverishment.
The oil giants were indelibly under fire. In New York City, climate activists confronted “Big Oil”:
“ExxonKnew: Make Them Pay” outside a meeting of fossil fuel CEOs and government representatives at the Morgan Library and Museum, just blocks away from the U.N. Climate Summit in New York.
Who is Funding the Protest Movement
“Exxon: Make Them Pay”?
The unspoken truth is that Big Oil funds the campaign against Big Oil.
Sounds contradictory?
Climate activists have been lied to.
The Climate Movement (New Green Deal) is funded by major charities and corporate foundations including the National Endowment for Democracy, Soros Open Society Foundations, the Rockefeller Brothers Trust, Shell Foundation, BP, Goldman Sachs, among others.
Whereas “Big Oil” is held responsible for the devastating impacts of the fossil fuel industry, the architects of Big Oil, namely the Rockefeller family is the major protagonist of the Green New Deal:
“Beginning in the 1980s, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund became leading advocates of the global warming agenda.In their Sustainable Development Program Review, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund boasts of being one of the first major global warming activists, citing its strong advocacy for both the 1988 formation of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the 1992 establishment of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change.” (The Energy & Environmental Legal Institute published in 2016).
Debate on the world’s climate is of crucial importance. But who controls that debate? Major capitalist foundations ultimately call the shots? (Si).
There is an obvious contradictory relationship. The protest movement is funded by corporate foundations.

“Manufactured Consent”
vs. “Manufactured Dissent”
The term “manufacturing consent” was initially coined by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky.
“Manufacturing consent” describes a propaganda model used by the corporate media to sway public opinion and “inculcate individuals with values and beliefs…”:
The mass media serve as a system for communicating messages and symbols to the general populace. It is their function to amuse, entertain, and inform, and to inculcate individuals with the values, beliefs, and codes of behavior that will integrate them into the institutional structures of the larger society. In a world of concentrated wealth and major conflicts of class interest, to fulfill this role requires systematic propaganda.
“Manufacturing consent” implies manipulating and shaping public opinion. It establishes conformity and acceptance to authority and social hierarchy. It seeks compliance to an established social order. “Manufacturing consent” describes the submission of public opinion to the mainstream media narrative, to its lies and fabrications.
“Funding Dissent”
How is the process of manufacturing dissent achieved?
Essentially by “funding dissent”, namely by channeling financial resources from those who are the object of the protest movement to those who are involved in organizing the protest movement.
Co-optation is not limited to buying the favors of politicians. The economic elites –which control major foundations– also oversee the funding of numerous NGOs and civil society organizations, which historically have been involved in the protest movement against the established economic and social order.
The programs of many NGOs and people’s movements rely heavily on funding from both public as well as private foundations including the Ford, Rockefeller, McCarthy foundations, among others.
Global capitalism finances anti-capitalism: an absurd and contradictory relationship.
There can be no meaningful mass movement when dissent is generously funded by those same corporate interests which are the target of the protest movement.
In the words of McGeorge Bundy, president of the Ford Foundation (1966-1979) and National Security Advisor to Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson (1961-1966), President of the Ford Foundation (1966-1979): "Everything the [Ford] Foundation did could be regarded as ‘making the World safe for capitalism", reducing social tensions by helping to comfort the afflicted, provide safety valves for the angry, and improve the functioning of government"
“Another World is Possible”, but it cannot be meaningfully achieved under the present arrangement.

“Manufacturing Dissent”: The Anti-globalization Movement is Funded by the Corporate Elites
The People's Movement has been Hijacked

Retornando al principio:
El Movimiento contra el Capitalismo
está fundado, financiado y organizado
por el mismo Capitalismo.
Nunca, con anterioridad,
ninguna clase dominante en el poder
--la de los ricos, obviamente--
había sido, planetariamente, global
y omnipresente, y, al mismo tiempo,
había creado y controlado
a los grupos sociales que contra ella van.
Llamémosle como le llamemos,
fin de la Historia o Historia sin fin,
éste es un hecho espeluznante y axiomático
de la REALIDAD
que nunca se había producido con anterioridad
(El imperio romano estuvo a años-luz
de financiar a los opositores a Roma,
valga el caricaturesco paradigma!)
Se podría preguntar:
¿lo que pasa ahora mismo en Ecuador
--tomando ahora éste ejemplo
de los muchos a tomar--
que el pueblo que se ha echado a la calle
para sacarse de encima el Paquetazo
del Fondo Monetario Internacional,
y que, por lo tanto, va contra
del Capitalismo ancestral
que, ante tal situación,
tiene que sacarse la máscara
y con sus afilados colmillos atacar,
forma parte del “Funding Dissent”?
Obviamente, NO.
Los dirigentes de la Dictadura Capitalista
no son "dioses"; el juego, su juego,
no es "perfecto", tiene sus grietas
y ranuras por las que, de tarde en tarde,
se escapan los líquidos a contener
--antes que, de nuevo, vuelvan
de las mismas fuentes a beber--,
y es entónces cuándo
la coincidentia oppositorum
de la que hablabamos deja de funcionar
cuándo el caníbal NO llega a alcanzar el poder de manufacturar él mismo el disentimiento,
el desacuerdo de las criaturas que se come
...y aquí puede ser que haya una luz
al final del túnel, pero hemos ido tan lejos,
tan lejos, que, repetimos, esas
ranuras por la que, de tarde en tarde,
se escapan los líquidos a contener...
creemos que, de nuevo, una vez comprados
los elementos a someter,
vuelven de las mismas fuentes a beber...
Y es que hemos ido tan lejos,
tan lejos...
que el virus se ha hecho tan endógeno:
el virus del tener, del poseer, del consumir,
de éste capitalismo-canibalismo,
ya sin fronteras,
que nos cuesta creer que podamos
prescindir de todo lo que ya tenemos
--a costa de los que nada tienen--
y que, constantemente,
seguimos aumentándolo
para mantener el falso umbral diferencial
con el nos creemos disfrutar mientras
que la Espada de Dámocles
baja más hacia nuestra cabeza
con todos los pertrechos que tenemos
almacenados para una guerra nuclear.
Vaya panorama, majestad...
