NYC Climate Radicals Demand Climate Justice Now!

On April 23, 2022 , Extinction Rebellion (and other radicals like Rise and Resist) gathered at the 72nd st entrance to Central Park where they prepared to March for Climate Justice in the streets of Manhattan.

CLIMATE is Racist! “The climate and ecological emergency is a trauma inflicted on all beings by white supremacy…  to unlearn embodied, racialized behaviors. 

Eco-Warriors Or Climate Change Morons

“WE DECLARE NON-VIOLENT REBELLION AGAINST THE US GOVERNMENT FOR ITS CRIMINAL INACTION ON THE ECOLOGICAL CRISIS”

Part 1 slide show – We’re in a climate f****** emergency!”
[Extinction Rebellion – March for Science]

The entrance to the park was very busy with pedicabs and strollers, not just the climate radicals, even an ambulance attempting to pass as the protestors listened to a few speakers before they “Marched for Science“.

 A steady propaganda diet, fed relentlessly for decades in our schools and by the media has filled generations with fear. The Planet is doomed without Climate Justice. Part 2 slide show :

.Video # 1– First, before the climate protestors “Marched for Science”, a short video with lots of chanting:

“What do we want? Justice. If we don’t get it shut it down.” “No more Coal. No more Oil. Keep your (climate) in the soil.”  and of course:  “Hey Hey Ho Ho Climate Change has Got to Go”

And signs. Lots of signs:

Climate Action Now; Fight For Our Future; Dayenu ; Enough with the Climate Conspiracy; Ban Fracking Now; The Climate Crisis is Here” and my personal favorite:”Destroy the Patriarchy, Not the Planet.”


Video 2- Four speakers represented the youthful protestors: High school and college-age. They spoke briefly (excerpted)

Climate Justice IS Political. No more Fossil Fuel infrastructure. No New Jails. Demand Green spaces in our infrastructure.”

March for Science is not just non-partisan, it is political. To live on this earth is to be affected by the climate crisis. To live in this city. This country is to be affected by politics.”

“Demand climate justice for all communities. Demand it now. Science not Silence.”

And of course,  “Show me what democracy looks like. This is what democracy looks like

Video 3 – A very political young man with a very POLITICAL speech, (excerpted) exposing the depth of his hard-core indoctrination:

“I am here to demand a livable future for us all. Administration after administration. Congress after Congress. My entire lifetime we have been promised a livable future and we have been delivered NOTHING. That’s what this movement is about. Our collective energy to demand  Climate Justice.”

Re the midterm elections.  “To decide the balance of Congress. Our Senate. Our House of Rep. It is on us to demand a better future by showing up at the ballot.

We know the climate crisis impacts vulnerable communities, the most intensely. Black. Brown. Indigenous. People of color. LGTBQ. The communities most intensely impacted by climate crisis. Those are the same communities, there are over 400 Bills – across the country to stop those communities from voting. we will not STAND for Voter Suppression. we will not STAND for the demolition of our democracy. We will stand on the streets and DEMAND a BETTER FUTURE.

50 years of empty promises. VOTE so we can ensure a livable planet. This is what democracy looks like.

Video 4 : Melissa from March for Science NYC:

Science is Political “(again) “But it should never be partisan. No matter what party is in power, we should have science evidence policy on the table. We should remain vigilant no matter who is in power. Currently in NY State,  3 Democrat leaders who claim to Follow the Science. It has not been enough. We need to know our worth and to ask for more. To ask for more climate action now. We are experiencing not just climate change, but a climate crisis. And we need to act like it. We need bold and consistent action to save our planet and our species. 

We cannot play politics with our environment; we need bold and consistent action to reverse climate change. This year at the Federal level, with the mid-term elections, to vote, hold accountable, get things passed like the Build Back Better Bill and the Voting Rights Act, which together will us fight Climate Change. We need climate action now, not in five years.

[lastly] …  cut back on our emissions from our fossil fuel buildings. This is critical. 70% of fossil fuels emissions from the city come from our buildings. We are one of the biggest polluters in the country. Hold all leaders accountable no matter what party they are in; no matter how much they try to distract us mediocre and symbolic actions. We will not be appeased. We know our worth. the worth of our planet.

Video 5 – Jillian is a virologist and mother of two. She mentions pandemic parenting and how the pandemic has intertwined the two.

“In the Spring of 2020, while her colleagues at Mt. Sinai worked round the clock, she was at home with her 3 and 6 yrs old children. Day care and schools were closed, the city was on lock-down. While quarantined and home-schooling her two small children, she was also answering Covid questions from scared friends and family –  fighting the endless disinformation about the pandemic.

She shared that she was grateful for the questions, it meant people actually cared about the data.

After more than two years of this pandemic, I know how easy it is to let cynicism win. Parents are exhausted, particularly of under 5 yrs olds. We faced school closures. had to weigh risks and benefits of sending our un-vaccinated kids to ‘in-person’ schools. It’s been scary and demoralizing.Parents of kids who are too young to be vaccinated feel ignored and betrayed. Masks mandates being dropped while there is still no vaccine approved for kids in their age group. I hear your rage and frustration. Demand change from our political leaders. As adults it is our responsibility to leave the world a better place for our children than we inherited. Finally, Science should be for everyone. I encourage all my …. scientists to break out of the bubble. The most meaningful science in the past two years … it’s been communicating with my friends, my family and my social circle. Those conversations matter.”

Video 6: 14 yrs old student activist named, Theo.   After the crowd chanted “Stand up, Fight Back” Theo told us of a Walk-Out For Covid Safety that he led.  they are upset that Mayor Adams ignored their demands:

K95 masks for all. Covid testing for every student in our socio-economic status. Quality air-filtration in all our schools.  (unclear “…. “) a new generation of scientists to combat any future pandemic we may face’ Today we march and tomorrow you will listen.”

We are heading for catastrophe. This is the type of actions we must take to stop the #ClimateCrisis before it will be to late … …chanting for action on climate change.FOX news; Bryant Park  sit in on the corner of 42nd and 6th Ave. [Extinction Rebellion]

The climate activists tried to stop  N.Y. Post from publishing.

We fight for a just world and stand in solidarity with the struggle for Black Lives. Take action for Black Lives and support radical Black leadership. End white supremacy now.” #BlackLivesMatter

What lies ahead (maybe/maybe not)

“Twitter bans ‘misleading’ ads on climate change”-NY Daily News
April 23, 2022

Twitter users who do not believe in climate change will no longer be able to advertise such beliefs on the social media platform.

“misleading advertisements on Twitter that contradict the scientific consensus on climate change” will be prohibited along side other types of banned content, which include campaigns that contain violence, profanity or personal attacks.

misleading information about climate change can undermine efforts to protect the planet.”

twitter plans to provide “reliable, authoritative context to the climate conversations

“We believe that climate denialism shouldn’t be monetized on Twitter, and that misrepresentative ads shouldn’t detract from important conversations about the climate crisis,” [N.Y. Daily News]


The climate and the ecological crisis is a justice crisis

Trump Appreciation Rally Wollman Rink Central Park

April 4, 2021. Easter Sunday. TDS Cancel Culture ended the Trump Organization’s contract on the very successful Wollman Rink in Central Park. Their reason, though unstated: Trump Derangement Syndrome.

“The cancellation of the Trump Organization’s contracts to operate Wollman Rink, Lasker Rink, and the Central Park Carousel would go into effect in February. The city later decided to retain the Trump Organization as the rinks’ operator for the duration of the skating season.”

The Trump 2024 Banner was very popular with passersby. Very few grumbles from those on the left on this lovely day in the park.

Mayor deBlasio’s Folly: Shutdown Wollman Rink in Central Park

Feb. 21, 2021.  Central Park. The closing of Wollman Rink by Mayor deBlasio  was scheduled this day, included terminating all four Trump Organization contracts: the Central Park Carousel, Wollman and Lasker skating rinks and the Ferry Point Golf Course. He could have let them stay open thru the end of the season. The park, the rink are full.  But, de Blasio’s Trump Deranged Syndrome (TDS) knows no bounds.

Meanwhile, patriot Dion Cini set out to fly his Trump 2024 banner around the rink before its closure. However, I couldn’t find the rink. I always get lost in the park, even with google and a compass. Thankful that scootercaster caught Dion in action – as well as the assault on him by rink employees.

I arrived after the action, but still enjoyed the packed rink.  Frustrating though. How can de Blasio be allowed to take down the rink?

After enjoying the skaters, I came upon a ballet class using the Wollman fence for barre. Fun.

As I left the park, I saw more happy kids (large and small) …

and  … happy squirrels …. all playing in the snow in the park.

Then: Good News. ‘DeBozo’ caved! The rink will now stay open through the end of the season. Interesting facts in this Eyewitness News archive video re the rink’s origins under Trump. It was a major gift to the city.  But instead of thanks, our President is to be PUNISHED by de Blasio for a job well done.

The mayor will still end the Trump Organization’s four management contracts with a “FU Trump”.

 No good dead goes unpunished.
And the People be Damned.

Leftists “March Against NYPD Violence and Rioting” at Columbus (LENAPE) Circle

LEFTISTS Marched Against NYPD Violence and Rioting
1 pm – Saturday, November 14, 2020
Columbus Circle aka Lenape Circle – New York City
[American-Indian names are the new /old identifiers.
Columbus Circle – they demand – be changed to Lenape Circle
]
 

VOCAL New York claimed:

“The NYPD has notoriously attacked black-led protests for years. Notable upticks have occurred since this summer’s #DefundThePolice uprisings. We condemn police violence and treating protest as a crime.”

Hard-core LEFTists like BLM, Socialist Alternative NYC,  Trump/Pence Out Now and Rise and Resist gathered in “Lenape Circle” to OPPOSEDFascism.

 Jay W. Walker (who organized this protest) is an organizer-activist  and co-founder of the Reclaim Pride Coalition, Gays Against Guns, Rise and Resist and Refuse Fascism (a front group for the Revolutionary Communist Party.)

Before they marched into Central Park, he spoke against police violence aimed at protestors. As always, the soc/commies are victims of the FASCIST police.

Jay Walker video transcribed: “Democratic, Liberal movements take a stand against police rioting thru out this city. The People of NY aught to take a stand. Some protestors they “protect”, and others – outside agitators – are “violent insurrectionists”; leftists mobs. Nothing could be further from the truth. Every activist group in this city has been working in concert for four years to rid this country of the Trump administration. We have been working non-stop throughout all of that time.

We must end police violence against  communities of color; religious minorities; against women; all women around this country; against ICE and government violence against all of our communities. We have stood united since November 2016 and the NYPD cannot. ever. divide us. (cheers/jeers)[1:59]

Over the course of the last week  we have seen the NY media be complicit in spreading lies and propaganda. They have not been doing journalism as they have covered these police riots against protestors.

They have been putting out propaganda. [2:28]

We know that they have been putting out propaganda because they release statements from the police without ever interviewing a single organizer of a single protest at which the police have chosen to herd and deter. And we will not stand for it. ( cheers/jeers) [2:52]

So we are out here today to hold the NYPD to account. We are out here today to hold the NYC media to account.

A quick note to all of these protest movements, “Do not be afraid of the press.” The press is there to get your message out. [3:20]

Don’t let the press use you. YOU use the press to get your message out. (cheers/jeers)

Now, we’ve seen all the lies. We’ve seen all the distortions. We’ve seen cops obstruct protestors, search their belongings and then say, “Oh, they weren’t armed.”  And then we see a media that doesn’t say, “Well, were they brandishing these weapons or were they just locked away in their back pack?” cause you would never have known about them if you hadn’t attacked and brutalized them.

This is the kind of journalism that we expect people who have gone through these great ivy-league , J-school(journalism) programs, who have these media studies mastered; who are reporting from local or national news stations to do and yet they do not. WE must hold them accountable. (crowd- YES!)” [End Video]

The NYPD officers, waiting for the march, were ridiculed and  assailed with accusations of violence.

Walker was pleased to announce they had ‘tricked’ the NYPD into placing vehicles and officers on the south side of the park, knowing they were marching north to Central Park’s Seneca Village (near 72nd St and 5th Ave)

“Seneca Village existed from 1825 through 1857.  Seneca Village was Manhattan’s first significant community of African American property owners. By the 1840s, it had become a multi-ethnic community African Americans, Irish, and German immigrants, and perhaps a few Native Americans. In 1855 … within two years, Seneca Village would be razed and its identity erased by the creation of Central Park.”

As for the NYPD, they still seem committed to “protect and serve”, in spite of the lack of support received from our communist-loving Mayor de Blasio.

Unfortunately, Mayor “deBozo” continues to deconstruct the city with lock downs as he relentlessly works to neuter the NYPD. Most recently, de Blasio is removing the NYPD from certain emergency calls. His pilot program will send Mental Health workers to lead/replace the police in what they describe as non-violent emergency calls. It  will debut in Feb. 2021 (good luck with predicting who’s armed)

A pilot program in New York City will be launched to replace police officers with mental health professionals when responding to emergency mental health calls, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced on Tuesday, Gothamist reports.  The pilot will begin in February.

Meanwhile, this day in DC, over a million MAGA patriots gathered PEACEFULLY. Image may contain: one or more people, crowd and outdoor

But they were attacked viciously by the LEFT. Some questioned whether the DC police were able or willingly to protect and serve the peaceful citizens who were just trying to go home.

In Conclusion: The Communist/Socialist insurgents have worked relentlessly for over a hundred years to take down our constitutional government.Their hatred for our independence has never waned, generation after generation.  Decade after decade they have mocked and stripped our “By the People and For the People” government of its strength.

“WE The People”, like the brainless Eloi, have walked passively into our 2020 prisons; imprisoned by the rules of tyrants, government by fiat. We have no say in our future.

Mayors and Governors have shut down our economy; closed our schools; restricted travel and NOW, they plan to restrict what we do in our homes; how we gather privately. Americans are no longer independent. No man’s home is his castle, not anymore.

Face diapers at the ready, Americans have become a compliant culture willing to suffer the bleakness of a totalitarian economy. Is this is our future?

Perhaps not. Perhaps a Civil War is brewing: Us against the Soc/Commie tyrants.

“My Declaration of Independence”. I will not be subservient to the “Rule of these Tyrants.” Ten months and counting, I proudly declare, “I resist!” Whenever and wherever I can.I refuse the idea that face diapers are necessary. They are a symbol of mental and physical slavery. I will fight this tyranny, relentlessly. I will not go quietly.”

As I observed the PRIVILEGED Soc/Commie ‘victims’ of an America they hate, claiming falsely that they suffer abuse, I feel anger. Frustration. Dismay. For those of us who refuse to live under this tyranny,  it’s not the Soc/Commies who are being victimized: AMERICA Must Fight back.
