We show the sleights of hand they employ - fake debates, manipulated data, reliance on fossil fuel-funded experts - to reach a desired outcome. www.politico.com/interactives...

“Year after year, land and environmental defenders—those protecting our forests, rivers, and lands across the world—continue to be met with unspeakable violence.” 146 environmental and land defenders were murdered or disappeared in 2024

Koch/fossil fuel backed daily caller, folks

I think the only surprise here is how quickly this is happening this openly. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/b...

DWW doesn't understand something he's been platformed to talk about!?!?! whaaat? Seriously though, they turned on vaccines because the fossil fueled disinfo network built to attack govt+experts+science treated Covid like climate change. Not complicated!
