Status Updates From Goliath's Curse: The Histor...

AND that every resources minister in the Australian government since 2001 who has retired from parliament has gone on to positions in the mining / fossil fuel / consulting industries??? And that Australia (thus) has zero regulations on carbon emissions and has some of the highest emissions per capita in the world?? 🤡🤡 we are being DUPED guys

Did you know that in 2004, BP spent $1 million on a media campaign pushing the concept of individual carbon emissions - that’s when the idea of a carbon footprint got popularized - in order to shift climate change responsibility away from corporations and onto the public? AND that just 30 companies (including BP) are responsible for 1/3 of global energy emissions? 🙃🙃

Interesting continued overlap with Native nations. Sounds like similar to the “conquest” of North America, the Aztecs and Inca empires were taken down largely in part due to infighting (ie allying w westerners to fight their own battles, slave raiding against rival communities) and infection rather than western superiority. Empire begets empire (or Goliath begets Goliath I guess)

Uhhhhh did you know that liberias dictator in the 90s was given millions by the tire company Firestone so that he’d protect the rubber plantations for them ??
