Extinction Rebellion Activists have Become Putin’s Useful Idiots

by Toby Young
1 April 2022 7:00 PM

Ross Clark has written a cracking piece in the Telegraph pointing out how out of touch Extinction Rebellion now seems in light of rising energy bills and the war in Ukraine.

To say that the world has changed in the three years since Extinction Rebellion first blockaded Oxford Circus for a fortnight would be an understatement. Then, at least, we could laugh at the likes of Robin Boardman-Pattison, a Bristol graduate and product of a £17,500 a year private education who had turned to climate activism – between posting Instagram shots of his numerous foreign holidays.

The group’s antics seem rather less amusing now to the millions of people who have woken up to find their domestic energy bills increased by half and whose cars have been forced off the road by soaring petrol prices. I predict that today’s protests, trying to block oil refineries under the banner Just Stop Oil, will go down even less well. Compounding drivers’ miseries still further, the group has also announced a new wave of daily mass protests in U.K. cities starting next week.

The energy crisis has exposed XR for what they really are: a bunch of relatively, well-off middle class people who barely seem to need to work, let alone worry about the cost of living, and whose absolutist environmental policies are an indulgence which few ordinary people can afford. Worse, they have become Putin’s useful idiots.

In the naïve world of XR and their cheerleaders, soaring gas and oil prices demonstrate why we need to transition, almost immediately, to renewable energy. Yet this calculation ignores that way that rampant inflation is working its way into the green economy as well. The steel needed to construct wind turbines, the rare metals needed for electric cars and other batteries, the price of wood for biomass power stations, labour costs for insulating homes, installing heat pumps and so on; all have increased sharply in price too. Follow XR’s advice and finish off the fossil fuel industry now, and the inflation we have seen so far would seem a relatively minor hit to household finances.

As Ross points out, had greens not helped to destroy the U.K.’s fracking industry, Europe would be in a much better position to stand up to Putin.

The argument parroted by the anti-fracking lobby – that extra, U.K.-produced gas wouldn’t reduce prices for consumers because the gas would be sold on international markets – is fallacious. It costs a lot of money to transport gas, either by pipeline or by ship. In the latter case – which accounts for an increasing slice of gas imports – gas must be liquified, transported several weeks in refrigerated ships and then regasified: costs which could be avoided if the gas were produced locally.

Vladimir Putin must love XR. It is partly thanks to environmental groups that we have remained dependent on Russian gas and that he can – as he did yesterday – threaten to cut off Europe’s gas supply unless we pay him in roubles. Pointedly, some of the anti-fracking propaganda of recent years has been identified as coming from Russia itself: the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence concluded in 2017 that the now defunct Kremlin-funded TV station Russia Today “runs anti-fracking programming, highlighting environmental issues and the impacts on public health”.

Worth reading in full.

Well, there’s nothing like green policies for getting the population down to the levels he thinks appropriate to this country. Why he would think he has the right as a Turkish/ Swedish immigrant to decide there are too many people here and why he thinks he has a right to try to make life un-survivable for more original natives are themselves entirely illogical notions, but he does.

So raising the price of gas and oil means fewer people will survive the winter, as OAPs choose between heating and eating.

Making scooters and bikes and pedestrians have right of way is creating lots of accidents and deaths.

People sticking their bottoms to the ground and harassing motorists more generally leads to poverty and more deaths, as people cannot work nor get to hospital. It all saves on pensions, too.

It is all one giant death cult, ommunism/ green all the same so we have also the biological weapons, vaccines and war, put in place by those with no heart.

I don’t think we need anymore confirmation of where Pfeffel and the globalist government stands. He couldn’t have been clearer when he did his one minute to midnight Kermit the Frog speech up in Glasgow.

The government’s Agenda 21 – 30 documents spell it all out very clearly. Intentionally missing from those documents, however, was what methods they would go about bringing the 4th Industrial Revolution.

I think this is a great development. I want these groups and their woke cousins to demonstrate just how out of touch they really are.

All of this stuff is a consequence of affluence. As the article notes some of the leading activists live charmed lives. Once more people see this we are only a hop, skip and a jump from convincing them that is not an accident, that much of the woke, decolonising, racist rainbow claptrap is in fact a consequence of the boredom generated by a life of idleness. They are drawn to these cosmic justice causes because they don’t have enough real problems in life.

Great to see Stanley Johnson in there too making a fool of himself.

Radicals seeking to break existing society and remake it into something better, according to their ideological theories. Pretty much classic “leftwing”.

Not leftwing, obviously, if your definition of leftwing is “Marxist”/state socialist, or just “nice”, as many people use the term these days (and by “these days” I mean for the past century or so).

Agreed.

Once on a London bridge, XR were barring people from attending hospital appointments, using the excuse “There’s a war on”. It would be tempting to punch somebody’s lights out who said that. They’d have no real grounds for a whinge. Declare war on people and physically try to stop them getting health treatment and you can’t complain if they fight you back. (I wonder whether a jury would convict, given a self-defence defence.)

As I pointed out on an earlier item.

“As Ross points out, had greens not helped to destroy the U.K.’s fracking industry, Europe would be in a much better position to stand up to Putin.”

Anyone who genuinely believes that Putin is the problem we face in the countries of Europe and the UK is as stupidly gullible as those who believed covid was a “deadly pandemic, unprecedented in modern times”, or that the US police systematically murder blacks merely for being black.

Greens are profoundly foolish, ideologically motivated zealots whose silly fantasies have done huge harm to this country, but the fault lies with those amongst our elites who are either green dupes themselves or are happy to pander to them for their own ulterior motives. As with the similarly harmful “antiracists”, their ideology is based upon genuine issues, but hugely overextended into damaging and dangerous zealotry.

The fact is that this country has no interest whatsoever in getting involved in trying to push NATO eastwards, or assisting the US drive to “overextend and unbalance Russia”, or encouraging the Ukraine to play its part in that drive. Our legitimate national interests would be best served by telling the Ukraine to accept Russia’s terms, which would have been a sensible policy regardless of the war. So any harms resulting from our collaboration with the US’s economic war of aggression against Russia are entirely self-inflicted. As indeed are the harms caused by pandering to the climate alarmist nonsense.

I largely agree. Although I’d argue many in the establishment are not merely standing back while self-motivated headcases wreck our culture. Some of them are suspiciously well funded. There are posters appearing all over my city claiming it was built on slavery, we must end racism etc. They are slick and well made, not cheap photocopies. Just one example.

So I think, rather, much of the chaos is more of a divide and conquer methodology than anything.

I do think Russia serves as a control group resisting the globohomo nonsense and it’s parallel movements, including climate alarmism. That is maddening to the groups who have successfully bought influence in western nations. Their stoicism demonstrates the absurdities of our own society.

I wouldn’t disagree with anything you’ve written there, and nor do I think it necessarily conflicts with anything I wrote.

The only point I might have a problem with is what you mean by “much of the chaos is more of a divide and conquer methodology than anything”. That’s clearly true, but a lot of people use that assertion to try to pretend that the divisions referenced are somehow not real. They are.

Did the UK have a commercially viable fracking industry?

I don’t think it did, certainly not onshore.

Those banging the drum for gas fracking need to review the experiences of the US fracking industry by visiting shalebubble.org – ocean racing yachting is described a making a hole in the water into which you pour money, most of the frack wells have proved to be similar. Prices are now high enough to make more viable, but the industry requires repeated re-drilling to replace depleted wells and as has been pointed out the costs of all energy production has risen along with the costs of extraction and the economics of fracking will still be marginal in the UK and commercially risky.

I haven’t studied it, but that sounds about right.

Nuclear power in Britain is a scam too – and lucrative for suppliers of uranium from Canada and now Australia.

Talking of which, I notice the US hasn’t stopped importing Russian uranium. It gets about 16% of its uranium from Russia. What if Russia stopped supplying that? 🙂

Last, it wouldn’t surprise me if research into harnessing nuclear fusion is all a massive scam too.

XR are not what they seem – that is obvious.

This is a strange article. Russia sells a lot of oil and gas. Why would the rulers of Russia want to undermine their own market? Of course if you add in a war or economic blockade then the position changes.

XR are Steiner nuts. Their leaders are not idiots at all. Not everyone who comes out with idiotic sh*t is saying it for idiotic reasons.

XR are protected by the British state. Not many political groups would be allowed to get away with blocking London bridges or flying drones over Heathrow and Gatwick.

Non-XR groups wouldn’t be allowed to get anywhere near the bridges. Many of their militants would probably be arrested before they left home, and if not then they would be stopped on the motorways. As for flying drones over major airports, those who did that would be jailed for long stretches and the groups would be proscribed.

So XR are obviously protected.

I doubt the Russian state has a big share in XR. (They had a bigger share in Wikileaks.)

But I notice there are Steiner schools in Russia now. The idea that Putin is the reincarnation of certain past figures is being wielded, for sure. A lot goes on in this world that doesn’t get into the media or academic articles …

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the deranged British crown prince Charles is close to XR.

That’s (c) Tory Party policy, as openly practiced from March 2020. XR are no different to any NeoLib Green political grouping. And just as successive Tory PMs from 2010 have dutifully carried on New Labour’s legacy, so a future Tory leader will fully embrace XR’s demands – indeed from the moment the green tree Tory logo appeared this was always going to be the direction of travel.

No. Russia doesn’t have any competition – a different thing altogether. That’s not Putin’s fault. After all, Moscow didn’t legislate to scale back the EU’s (and Germany’s in particular) production of hydrocarbons. No good blaming Russia for a series of idiotic Western decisions that have effectively left it playing poker with €trillions of futures on the table (not forgetting potential civil riots over food and energy) while holding a few disparate low numbers (with not a picture in sight).

Extinction Rebellion is just a new form of snobbery – snobbery of old used to be about looking down on people for having the wrong accent or poor manners etc – progressivism, environmentalism, climate alarmism,political correctness, wokism etc etc etc – its just all snobbery this time directed at people they consider stupid, ignorant, uneducated or bigoted – which is usually not the case at all and in many instances its simply a case of ‘projection’ – it just gives these new generation of snobs a rather deluded sense of superiority over others.

In other words XR are doing nothing different to generations of the middle classes have done for decades. They ain’t left and they ain’t right (what is?), they’re simply superior and so above all that political nonsense. Teachers, politicians, local government admin, journalists, influencers, managers, social workers, civil servants, doctors, professionals etc; in other words they are all over, woven into society, as they always have been.
Wokeism is the flavour of the age, and, given (by and large) the middle class will always be in the best place to propagate it, it will prevail – especially when the opposition (judging by TY’s typically naive reaction) seems to consist of old Tories incapable of even grasping that the old left-right political dichotomy is long extinct.
To begin to oppose XR a new set of parameters (indeed a new political paradigm) is required, but there’s no sign of it here.

I don’t think he requires any useful idiots at all, but from Toby Young to Nancy Pelosi they are all queuing up for the supposed job. Russia is running rings around the West in terms of political and economic strategy. Putin didn’t start this nonsense, but his response has been more than effective – with the recent pegging of the Rouble to a gold standard being a particularly shrewd counter-move to the West’s sanctions that are only hurting the West. He’s a Chess master among Drafts amateurs.

Often complex geo-political strategies have defined relationships between the Asian states for centuries, that’s true statecraft. Leaders may not trust each other, but they trust the rules of the game. The West has abandoned such statecraft rules in favour of the pursuit of hegemony via the narrow doctrine of exceptionalism, and so its leaders cannot (as with the Minsk accords, NATO expansion and the Budapest memorandum) be trusted – period.

I don’t disagree with that. My point is that most Russians live really quite close to Europe, and most of the resources that China would like are at the other end of the country. Given the performance of the Russian military in the current conflict, China might well decide to avoid Taiwan and take the Russian far east. Vladivostok has a Chinese name.

I live in a village of about 900 people, the majority of whom rely on oil for domestic heating. We recently had a preliminary energy audit on our house; initial thoughts are that the electric supply to our house is not capable of supporting a heat pump and we would need to install a solar panel array and a storage battery in order to run a heat pump.
This is a colossal capital requirement and it would be virtually impossible to do this for every house in the village, certainly not in the short term.
This whole thing is madness, deranged and could cause serious harm, especially to older people, something weird and possibly sinister is driving this. It is as if the powers that be are tacitly supporting this rather than protecting the people they are supposed to serve.

It’s Ashkenazis exterminating whites.

It’s been that way for over a century, but accelerated after the US 1965 Immigfration Act, and in the UK after Blair in 97.

Bart Ehrman (no real friend to Christianity) tries to explain part of the historical method to a petulant child Jesus Myther:

https://youtu.be/u9CC7qNZkOE

Ultimately, Jesus Mythicism inadvertently promotes a radical view of history, where one can know nothing about the great civilisations and figures of antiquity. And most Jesus Mythers you speak to will happily concede this, happy to sacrifice all of antiquity in order to cling to Jesus Mythicism, even when Jesus is one of the best attested figures of antiquity.

Indeed. The crusades were a belated response to Islamic aggression. If the crusaders were motivated by a bloodthirsty desire to ‘kill as many non believers as possible’ then why did they wait so long?

Sure, some of the crusaders committed heinous acts once mobilised, but the crusades themselves were a response to Islamic aggression and thus defensive.

Yes, OK, I was maybe a little intemperant. The European kingdoms that fought the crusades were not able to attempt the reconquest of the Holy Land before, as they were climbing out of the dark ages.

What on earth are you talking about? You lurch from one ‘intemperate’ claim to the next.

What date do you give to these ‘dark ages’? Please document from history the claim that ‘European kingdoms that fought the crusades’ were unable to respond to Islamic aggression because ‘they were climbing out of the dark ages’.

The point still remains: christians believed that Jesus had been killed by the jews, and that muslims were devil worshippers. Those that wouldn’t convert would certainly have been expelled or worse.

You have a woefully simplistic view of history. You’re making it up as you go along. Christians recognise that Jews and Gentiles, along with their rulers and the Roman authorities, were responsible for Jesus’s crucifixion (Lk. 24:20; Ac. 4:27-28).

You need to go back to the drawing board.

Here is a bit of fiction. (Lk. 24:20; Ac. 4:27-28)
Crucifiction was a punishment reserved by the Roman state. The Romans crucified Jesus. If it had been a jewish punishment Jesus would have been stoned to death

The Dark Ages: those centuries after the fall of the western empire. A period of famine. The rulers of what had been the western empire spent that 600 – 700 year period fighting each other.

Yes, I am being simplistic.
Nearhorburian seems to believe that there is a current Ashkenazi jewish conspiracy that has been running for at least 100 years to do down western civilisation, for which he offers just as simplistic “evidence”.

Luke and Acts belong to the genre of historical narrative. What is your evidence that these are fictional? Beyond personal distaste, of course.

Crucifiction was a punishment reserved by the Roman state. The Romans crucified Jesus. If it had been a jewish punishment Jesus would have been stoned to death

What are you banging on about? You said:

In response I said that Christians recognise that Jews and Gentiles, along with their rulers and the Roman authorities, were responsible for Jesus’s crucifixion. You made a claim about what Christians believe, and I refuted that point.

You’re all over the place.

The Dark Ages: those centuries after the fall of the western empire. A period of famine. The rulers of what had been the western empire spent that 600 – 700 year period fighting each other.

That’s an assertion in lieu of an argument. Do you have an argument? You still haven’t given me a date for this ‘dark age’ period. Moreover, how do you know what happened during this period, and why isn’t what you think you know really fictional and not historical?

You’re very selective in your reading of history.

Yes, I am being simplistic.

Nearhorburian seems to believe that there is a current Ashkenazi jewish conspiracy that has been running for at least 100 years to do down western civilisation, for which he offers just as simplistic “evidence”.

If Nearhorburian jumped off of a cliff would you follow? What’s your point? Pointing to another’s simplistic reasoning does not justify your own simplistic reasoning. Are you dense?

I’m reading a book by Antony Sutton called Wall Street & The Bolshevik Revolution. It lays out evidence of who funded the likes of Trotsky and Lenin and who facilitated their communist revolution.

The author clearly isn’t interested in the ethnicity of those involved, but it is impossible to ignore that they are overwhelmingly jewish.

People awkwardly argue that the smear name Nazi came from NSDP, when it’s quite obvious where the name originates. Always with communists: up is down, left is right, 2+2=5.

Europe would be in a much better position to stand up to Putin.

Look again! It is Putin who is standing up to Europe actually, and making a decent fist of it so far. The West’s energy and food crisis is 100% self inflicted. Putin hasn’t reneged on contracts the West has cancelled them via sanctions, indeed Russia still supplies gas to Ukraine ffs!!
The West declared economic war on Russia, illegally stole Russian assets and effectively banned Russia from trading in dollars or Euros – what else was Putin supposed to do, supply the West for free? Toby is slavishly parroting Pelosi’s neocon line that these are Putin’s price hikes, they are not. And when it suits, the West will again crawl back to Moscow to renew essential commodity deals, just as the USA have done in recently dropping the sanctions against Russian fertiliser lest they have a famine on their hands by Christmas.
Now the Rouble is on the gold standard, so will any new contract have to be. The West hasn’t just shot itself in the foot, it has shot itself through the wallet. The USA can print as many dollars as it wants, but it can’t print gas and oil (or fertiliser).

Finally, there is sufficient evidence to genuinely level the accusation of ‘Putins Lap Dogs’ at them, and we must use it at every opportunity.

Point out that Trump is better and more honest than them because he was investigated for Russian collusion and wholly exonerated. They accused him of doing precisely what they are doing.

Why are they not being sanctioned over Ukraine like Russian oligarchs are? They took the money, they should suffer the consequences from Russia invading Ukraine.

Nothing but a shower of lying, low life scum with no principles whatsoever.

Why is there a difference between Joe Biden’s son accepting dirty money from Ukraine, and both of them facing prosecution, and Boris Johnson’s father accepting money from Russia, but no investigation over him and Boris’ links to treasonous behaviour?

And twenty Police fines handed out over partygate? Were are the resignations? The next election is too late. Our politicians need to be dragged out into the street and face the public.

Putin has played a blinder.

He was pushed into walking into Ukraine due to the genocide and cruelty to Russians in the Donbas by Ukrainians/CIA since 2014. He has been lied about, made fun of and his country has been bullied out of Worldwide sports etc. not to mention the ridiculous and vindictive sanctions imposed on Russian businesses and society.

He waited until the time was right for Russia to hit back. Weak and feeble EU, UK broken by woke policies from ignorant politicians and a Laptop from Hell gave Russia the open door to take the lead on breaking the Petro dollar, the Western corruption, the bullying by American Globalists. Russia will save Europe from itself. It will break the Globalist drive to communism and it will create multi polar trade and nation states, halting the push to a One World Government controlled by the American dollar under a universal credit control.

Unfortunately because the peoples of Europe have closed their eyes for many years to the vindictiveness and war mongering of the Left/socialist policies of EU/USA our citizens will spend a generation or two in poverty and suffering. We deserved it for our own stupidity and greed instead of asking the pertinent questions and interfering in other countries right to govern themselves.

Correlation is not causation. Fracking is not the only answer to the lack of energy supply. It has the potential for causing great ecological pollution. I would not like to live near a fracking site and don’t think others should have it forced on them.
The war in Ukraine is complex and has roots that go back a long way. This debate is a smoke screen to revealing the players who are orchestrating this war. Follow the money.

What ecological pollution? Fracking fluid is water, sand and a small amount of drill bit lubricant.

The wells are drilled thousands of feet beneath aquifers through sealed wellheads. This is all mature technology.

There have been numerous fracking sites around the UK for decades. You never knew about them because they cause no ecological pollution and no earthquakes.

Similarly, offshore Oil and Gas extraction is achieved by largely the same process and there’s no routine ecological pollution.

Extinction Rebellion is part of the jewish communist green-environmental agenda; and because it’s jewish, it’s pagan… the entire green agenda is New Age paganism disguised with code-terms and euphemisms.
