Clueless Extinction Rebellion Protesters Don't Know What CO2 Stands For

extinction rebellion

"We are Extinction Rebellion, and we are rising up because we believe we should stop global warming, because it's caused by humankind, because of CO2, which is... something in the air, and it's bad, and it's increasing, and don't get us started about carbon dioxide"
Exctinction Rebellion (ER) is a silly movement that was originally established in the UK in May 2018. A snapshot of what ER activists have been up to includes gluing themselves to an electric bus, going on hunger strike, attempting to glue themselves to the top of a train, smashing windows at the Department of Transport with a hammer and screwdriver, attempting to shutdown an airport, and attempting to spray 1,800 liters of fake blood at a government building in London (the latter attempt backfiring embarrassingly).

ER has also reached the Netherlands with a Dutch version of its website trying to lure in people from all ages to join their nonsensical cause and protests. In the week of October 7th, 2019, hundreds of ER members attempted to block the Stadshouderskade in Amsterdam, an important road in the city.

Perhaps most revealing of all, however, was when Mark Baanders, a reporter with the controversial Dutch broadcaster PowNed, went to the protests and discovered how little the protesters actually knew about what they were protesting about.

The following is a transcript of some parts of the interview:

Montenegro's 'religious freedom' law is a travesty - Is it not oppression if a 'pro-Western democrat' does it?

Adopting a 'religious freedom' law that opens the door to persecuting a particular faith would normally be seen as a horrifying breach of human rights, but when done to Orthodox Serbs in Montenegro, the West doesn't seem to mind.

Montenegro's ruling regime rammed the controversial law through the parliament in the dead of night between Thursday and Friday. Every single amendment of the opposition Democratic Front (DF) - proposed to alleviate concerns that the bill was deliberately targeting the Serbian Orthodox Church (SOC) - was rejected. When some DF members disrupted the session in protest, all of them were arrested and jailed.

The bell tolls for the Serbs

Even though the law, as written, could be used to go after the Roman Catholic Church or the Islamic community, members of the Bosniak (Muslim) and Croat (Catholic) ethnic parties supported it, further demonstrating that its real purpose was to go after the SOC.

Wife of Google whistleblower Robert Epstein, who exposed meddling in the 2016 election, is killed in a car crash

Psychology professor, Robert Epstein, shared in a heartbreaking tweet that his wife, Misti Dawn Vaughn (pictured), died after her vehicle spun out of control along a slipper road in California
The wife of a Google whistleblower, who exposed meddling in the 2016 election, died Friday night just days after she was seriously injured in a car crash.

Psychology professor, Robert Epstein, 66, shared in a heartbreaking tweet announcing that his wife, Misti Dawn Vaughn, died after her vehicle spun out of control along a slippery road in California and into the path of a tractor-trailer.

'My beautiful wife Misti, a published poet, succumbed last night to injuries sustained in a car accident,' her grieving husband wrote.

Comment: While there is nothing immediately suspicious about the untimely death of Epstein's wife, who he is and what he's been publicly stating for years brings the possibility that this was a 'hit', a suspicion that hasn't been lost on a good number of Twitter users. And to add fuel to this suspicion, Twitter users are noting some oddities in the tweets expressing condolences to Dr. Epstein. Here's an example of the many complaints that their tweets are disappearing:


And fellow Google whistleblower Zach Vorhies is claiming Epstein's tweet about his wife's death is itself being shadowbanned:


Very suspicious indeed...

Former British immigration chiefs: Channel patrols should return illegals to France

Two former heads of British immigration agencies have said that British cutters should patrol French territorial waters in the English Channel and return illegal aliens to France before they get anywhere near Great Britain.

Observing that the current system of picking up boat migrants in British waters and ferrying them to the mainland is not deterring illegal immigration, Peter Higgins, a former director of Immigration Services, said:
"If Border force cutters are to continue to be deployed, is it not logical that they should operate in French waters, and having made an interception immediately return individuals to France?"
Mr Higgins, who worked in immigration and customs for 40 years, told The Telegraph:
"If the French are serious about solving this problem, they would not be averse to the UK cutters operating in French waters. Why is this not being done?

"One thing is for certain, if everyone were to be returned to France, the attraction of this form of trafficking would be negated immediately to the mutual benefit of the UK and France."

Elizabeth Warren's brother furious she called their father a janitor

Proven liar and failed presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)
David Herring, brother of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, said he is "furious" to learn the Massachusetts Democrat called their father a janitor on the campaign trail.

"According to a family friend, David has disagreed with the way Warren calls herself the daughter of a janitor as she describes the work he found after losing a job as a salesman after his heart attack," the Boston Globe reports.

Speaking with a family friend, Herring was adamant that his father was a maintenance worker, not a janitor. "My Dad was never a janitor," he told the Globe. Warren has referred to her father as a maintenance man in the past but has used the term "janitor" while on the campaign trail.

In a 2012 speech titled "Values and the Economic Crisis," Warren did not identify her father as a janitor. "My father held a series of jobs. His last one was mowing lawns and cleaning swimming pools for an apartment house," she said.

Warren has been accused of loosely handling the truth, famously identifying as an American Indian on a Texas bar form in 1986. In 2018, it was revealed that Warren is only between 1/64 and 1/1,024 Native American.

Inhumane deprivation: Palestinian family forced to live without shelter or water by Israeli army

Family left destitute in occupied West Bank
Despite the fact that the Palestinian bedouin family has ownership deeds of their land in the West Bank, Israel is relentless in trying to force them out. The army, on one of their recent raids, confiscated everything the family owns; even their water tanks, leaving them with no shelter or water, a basic human need. "As if they are deliberately and intentionally seeking to deprive us of all the essential aspects of human life."

On the foothills of a mountain overlooking Al-Baqai'a Plain to the east of Tubas, in the northeastern West Bank, lived a Bedouin family in tents after leaving the southern West Bank city of Hebron on the first of December.

During this short period of living there, Israeli forces have twice verbally ordered Abu Thaher family to leave the 11 dunums of land under the pretext of being in closed military and live-fire zones, despite the fact that the family has ownership deeds, known as Tabu.

Serbian Orthodox Church in Montenegro monk takes part in a protest rally in Podgorica, Montenegro, 26 December 2019.
Despite strong protests from the hierarchs, clergy, monastics, and tens of thousands of faithful of the Serbian Orthodox Church, the majority religion in the country, the Montenegrin Parliament adopted the anti-Church law "On Freedom of Religion and Belief and the Legal Status of Religious Communities" on December 26.

Large crowds of Orthodox faithful took to the streets in several cities and towns to protest the new law, which resulted in the Montenegrin police severely beating His Grace Bishop Metodije of Diokleia and several faithful with batons, reports the official website of the Metropolis of Montenegro.
"The bishop and individual believers were knocked to the ground and beaten with batons and kicked. Two worshippers who tried to protect him were also wounded. One suffered a broken hip and the other a broken collarbone."
Both were admitted to the hospital in the town of Pljevlja.

Students who touted conservative, Republican, Constitutional or pro-life opinions on college campuses over the last 12 months were often met with extreme resistance.

Throughout 2019, leftists were wildly triggered by opinions they disagreed with, prompting them to vandalize or destroy displays, disrupt events, shout down speakers, scream at the top of their lungs — and even physically assault their right-of-center peers.

Many of these examples were caught on camera.

Here is a look back at some of the most extreme examples The College Fix has reported on over the last year.
