'Big Joke'

Written by  The Hound
'Big Joke'

OPINON: In the latest hysterical press release from Greenpeace, the sandal wearers have unleashed their worst conspiracy theorist tendencies, ranting about “Big Tobacco, Big Oil” and now “Big Meat and Dairy”.

They claim to have ‘proof’ about “Fonterra’s role in derailing climate action”.

The ‘big smoking gun’ is a report from Netherlands-based NGO ‘Changing Markets Foundation’.

However, this NGO is hardly impartial or independent.

Its founders are Joakim Bergman, a professional greenie who spent a big chunk of his career in senior roles for Greenpeace, and Paul Gilding, former “global CEO of Greenpeace”.

And its website is awash with juvenile claims that farmer-led protests around the world, similar to Groundswell, are part of “a transnational far-right movement”.
