I think a big part of the "green agenda" is making money. Many of us from the Vietnam era are still opposing wars, including, of course, the genocide in Gaza. Many are dead which does tend to silence them. The establishment propaganda has never given support to the peace/antiwar movement. Not for Vietnam, not for Iraq, not for Afghanistan, not for any of the other wars and genocides that have been committed in recent decades.
Susan absolutely, also consolidation of power and transfer of wealth. Many of the ultra rich global elite who push the zero carbon agenda (which is the actual "existential crisis" others have invoked.) Have invested heavily in Chinese companies and Chinese energy infrastructure that is growing at an unprecedented pace. They advocate the US elimination of coal power but collect dividends from the booming expansion of the same industry in the East. The effects on the planet are still the same. Shutting down use of nitrogen based fertilizers is crippling farmers production yields and what does that mean for the world's poor and starving populations? Also Send i'm glad that people like you are still making a stand for peace and are speaking out against the perpetual war. I suppose I'm disappointed there isn't more protest, demonstrations and activism, people in the streets about the wars we're funding but I am grateful for the people who do speak out even though their voices are tiny
without the echo chamber of the press. It's also become obvious that the nature of our two party system is a dialectic that is not what it portrays itself as, rather it is a uniparty. This becomes apparent every time a vote comes up to fund the wars in Ukraine & Gaza.

Thank you, Susan.
I’ve been protesting every war from Vietnam to the present, and I ain’t “silent” about it either!
