#AmazonWatch LOVES AND HAS ALWAYS SUPPORTED BIG OIL, REDD AND FRACKING as one of their corrupt Best Friends Forever invest tens of millions into big oil and love fracking: The Sierra Club has an image problem. Brune’s designer arrest can be partially interpreted as a craven attempt to efface the stain of the Club’s recent dalliance with Chesapeake Energy, one of the largest natural gas companies on the continent and a pioneer in the environmentally malign enterprise of hydraulic fracturing or “fracking”. Between 2007 and 2010, Chesapeake Energy secretly funneled nearly $30 million to the Sierra Club to advocate the virtues of natural gas as a so-called “bridge” fuel. Bridge to where is yet to be determined. By the time this subornment was disclosed, the funders of the environmental movement had turned decisively against fracking for gas and the even more malicious methods used to extract shale oil. The Sierra Club had to rehabilitate itself to stay in the good graces of the Pew Charitable Trusts and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who had lavished $50 million on the Club’s sputtering Beyond Coal Campaign. wrongkindofgreen.org/2013/04/12/designer-protests-and-vanity-arrests-in-dc/ #Keeptheoilintheground #Yasuni #IdleNoMore #NotYourMascot #Indigenous #Ecuador #Brazil #Peru #StopAmazonDams #FloodWallStreet #HumanRights #RedfaceDisgrace #ChangeTheName #Venezuela #Colombia #Bolivia
