You probably saw video of this latest environmentalist terrorist stunt in the UK. A current eco-terrorist trend is to attack great or at least, in this case, famous works of art.
Just Stop Oil activists have thrown tomato soup over Van Gogh’s masterpiece Sunflowers at the National Gallery. A video shows the two women wearing Just Stop Oil T-shirts gluing one hand each to the wall below the painting, which is protected by a pane of glass.
Unlike so many conservatives, Just Stop Oil is able to freely operate on Twitter and Facebook, not to mention Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and Google’s YouTube with no censorship or interference.
YouTube won’t let you upload videos with views they disagree with, but an ecoterrorist group is allowed to maintain a dedicated channel promoting its latest outrages and recruiting members.
Just Stop Oil’s site uses numerous Big Tech services including those of Google and Facebook. It also fundraises openly through a site known as CrowdfunderUK.
This tweet openly shows Just Stop Oil fundraising off the Van Gogh attack.
The link goes to the CrowdfunderUK site. I’ve reached out to the site and to its founder, Phil Geraghty, who also created ActionStorm, an activist site whose name speaks for itself, and who promotes radical leftist causes, about whether domestic terrorists can fundraise for criminal activity on its site. There has been no response.
CrowdfunderUK’s current partners include the Mayor of London and Santander Bank. I’ve reached out to both as well. Other partners include Marks and Spenser, the UK’s Calor gas company, ironic considering that the eco-terrorists want to get rid of gas so pensioners can freeze to death over the winter, and the Aviva insurance company.
In a time when PayPal is threatening $2,500 fines for political dissent, Big Tech companies routinely collude to deplatform and silence conservative critics, leftist terrorism is protected by a public-private partnership of government authorities who favor them and refuse to enforce the laws, and by Big Tech companies who enable and protect them through selective and biased enforcement of their own regulations. Leftist tyranny and terrorism go together.
UPDATE: The eco-terrorist group is now saying that their account is down. They’re fundraising for payments through Stripe, via Visa/MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.
The site also states that, “You can make a tax deductible donation to Just Stop Oil’s recruitment, training and educational programs through the Climate Emergency Fund.”
The first thing I worried about was whether the painting was vandal-proofed. Apparently it was, they said it was covered in glass. What kind of glass, I don’t know.
That was one of my big things back in the SF Bay Area, was spouting off about getting things vandal-proofed, like display signs in the parks. I happened to mention that to a very wise and experienced neighbor, who had been partly responsible for installing the signs, and he said they had already protected it somehow, so it was easy to clean graffiti off.
Your quote,” they said it was covered in glass. What kind of glass, I don’t know.”
I have a feeling it was toughened non-reflective glass.
How do they get cans of soup into a high end art gallery? I have to wonder if the gallery management isn’t sympathetic, if not in on it. I also read where one of these jerks in the UK has been arrested 20 times for these stunts, and only done 6 weeks in “prison.”
They’d better not leave any leftover glue if I’m there. Their hair would be caked in it, and I’d have them stuck to that wall like they were playing vertical twister, lol. There’d be none of that comfortable kneeling crap. Getting unstuck couldn’t come soon enough for them then, and maybe they’d think twice before doing it again. I’m sure the others involved in the stunt would join the fun as soon as it started. I’d probably have to get the glue from them anyway.
I would have left them glued to the wall, then charged admission fees to come & see, living conceptional art, it would get more interesting as the days progressed!
I will leave it at that, just use your imagination.
It would have been interesting to leave them glued to the wall. I once got superglue on my thumb, fortunately rubbing alcohol turned out to be an effective solvent.
Hopefully, the two individuals will receive a prison sentence for their crime. Second, if the good people want to have a real impact on certain Tech companies, then consider closing your Facebook, Twitter, Google or any other social media accounts. Otherwise, you just have to put up with the propaganda crap from the Left.
What does the Left want?
Does the left act in unison, simultaneously turning together, like schooled fish?
Is there a Secret Hand in play?
And what is the goal, the blue-printed intention of umpteen social surgeons simultaneously slicing their way through the social construct?
I want to see the plans.
Well, money and power, of course. And the pleasure of hurting and sometimes killing people, especially innocent people.
It is thrilling.
Then, afterward, they pair off. Or whatever these freaks do.
This is their ‘days of wine and roses’ and terror and fund raising.
Just cant beat it.
Revolution is fun.
“A video shows the two women wearing Just Stop Oil T-shirts gluing one hand each to the wall below the painting…” This would have been the perfect time for a concerned citizen to inflict about 15 or 20 solid kicks to their backsides. This would done tow things: 1) Freed their hands from the wall. 2) Taught them a good lesson and some good humility. All of these arrogant bastards need a good ass whipping.

Climate Emergency Fund is a US organization, located in California. It is a 503(c)(3) organization.
In 2019 they transferred $397,854 to the UK to an unlisted organization, presumable those climate lunatics in “just stop oil”.
