Extinction Rebellion Considering Public Suicide Events to Raise Climate Awareness

As the Chinese Coronavirus crisis sucks oxygen from XR’s climate campaign, a leaked internal document suggests Extinction Rebellion is considering increasingly desperate measures, including having protestors kill themselves in public, to try to regain public attention.

Delingpole: Kamikaze Greenies – Extinction Rebellion Plots Suicide Stunt

JAMES DELINGPOLE 15 Mar 2020

Extinction Rebellion (XR) activists, increasingly overshadowed by the coronavirus, have been discussing new and ever more desperate ways to grab attention for their next big publicity stunt.

Mooted tactics include: committing suicide in public (perhaps at the UN’s next climate summit in Glasgow later this year); hunger strike to the death; painting parliament green; spraying traffic lights black; blocking every station, airport, and motorway in Britain; and “scare the fuck out of people”.

These are among the actions proposed on a leaked XR discussion document titled ‘Vital Additions to Action Strategy.’ They appear in a list under the heading ‘Top Ideas from the Sessions.’

The radical ideas seem to be a response to concerns within XR that the public have grown slightly bored with or even irritated by their antics.

There is no evidence of any XR member having actually volunteered to commit suicide or go on hunger strike in order to save the planet. And the document concedes that “highly sacrificial actions” have been vetoed up until now because of “strong pushback from the movement”.

Read more: https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/03/15/kamikaze-greenies-extinction-rebellion-plots-suicide-stunt/

A copy of the leaked XR document which mentions suicide is available here. The document discusses concerns about a fall in new members, and ideas for getting more media attention through acts of extreme sacrifice.

Let us hope Extinction Rebellion dump this idea in the circular filing cabinet where it belongs, and don’t attempt to identify and groom someone mentally unwell enough in their ranks to actually go through with something so horrible.

Hopefully they will fulfill their plans to go over the edge like 10:10 did with their exploding school children video. We don’t hear too much from them any more. They blew it.

concerns within XR that the public have grown slightly bored with or even irritated by their antics.

These zealots really don’t get it, do they? Their solution to losing an irritated public is to irritate “the fcuk out of people”.

Grooming someone mentally unwell to kill themselves for the greater good (of Allah Climate) is the tactic of Hamas, Al Qaida, Hezbollah, etc. Terrorist groups bent on destroying those they view as infidels who aren’t true believers in the faith by violent extremes.
XR fits right in with these groups

XR have studied 20th Century history – they are violent thugs who have modeled their conduct after Hitler’s Brownshirts – let’s call them Greenshirts.

I suspect the “Greenshirt suicide bomber” story is just a means to get press attention for their fading movement – it is unlikely to happen.

What is likely to happen as they get more desperate is more extreme acts of violence and sabotage – as they try to enhance their declining profile.

I was in London within days of five violent incidents by the IRA – I felt somewhat at risk, but mitigated that risk by avoiding large crowds and being vigilant. That seems to work most of the time.

You know, this looks to me to be more just an invitation to commit public suicide, it looks more like encouragement to commit a suicide attack. i.e a suicide bombing or suicide shooting for example.

With someone that’s mentally unstable the mere mention on suiciding in public to raise awareness can be all it takes. Are they hoping for that? Possibly. Will someone that unstable find some excuse to go off themselves anyway? Likely. Can they find someone to groom for a public suicide? Without a doubt.

I think it is a criminal offence to Counsel anyone to Suicide, most anywhere on the civilized parts of the planet. God forbid that they actually talk anyone into doing this, or they should face maximum criminal charges. I sure hope they are being heavily surveilled by domestic intelligence in the UK and around the world. These are the whack jobs that are crazy enough to do anything. They should be dealt a very heavy hand by the Authorities, so they know there are boundaries. And before anyone commits suicide, since they have shown intent.

It is illegal under the 1961 suicide act (brought in to legalise suicide or own attempts at suicide ) to assist or encourage another person to commit suicide. https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN04857/SN04857.pdf

But is it still illegal, if, for example, you stop someone jumping from a tall building and offer them a cyanide pill instead. After all, it’s really not fair to expect someone else to clean up their mushy corpse. Asking for a friend.

I have read (somewhere) that many of the people in Extinction Rebellion have been troubled with severe depression. Suicide is one of those things that depressed people think about often, so it’s no wonder that some ER guy has hit upon an excuse to kill himself.

Watch any interview with Roger Hallam (a founder of ER), and he seems (despite his claims to the contrary) rather pleased that the world is coming to an end. Nothing angers these people more than other people saying that life as we know it is good and getting better. People who think that happiness is evidence of moral failure are always dangerous.

The whole climate change landscape has been changed thanks to covid19, in Australia we have already confirmed the impact will be bigger and longer than the GFC.

The biggest groups economically hit are
1.) Casual employees which has a big representation of the young
2.) Older retires which has number that are left/green
3.) Inner city professionals whose companies they own or work for are under massive pressure.

If you ran a survey today or going forward for the next decade I doubt climate change will be high on priorities. Every developed country is going to have taken and economic hit and the world will be in recession.

It’s pretty much a nail in the coffin of the whole climate change action expect the number prepared to spend money on the issue to drop drastically.

Yes well put,
but calling in it Chinese, is a bit to far gone, even as just as a simplification,
because it implies that it is Chinese by “origin”, like ground zero or the epicenter where it started from
happens to be China.
Very very unlikely.

The latest data point out that most probably than any where else it could be Italy…
even when and where the first detection and identification was by the Chinese in one of their cities.
Italy scores high in the “hot” at this time, because most probably the place of the origin,
the epicenter where all started… further deep and ahead then any other place, by the time it started to screen…

You are giving credence to Chinese propaganda intimating that this virus did not originate in China.
All available medical and social data tell us this mess started in Wuhan, China. Nowhere else.
Be careful what you repeat: As Goebles famously taught: Tell a lie. Tell a very big lie and repeat it, and the people will believe you.

Very wrong mister Goebles.

The plain basic truth mister Goebels;

“All available medical and social data tell us this mess first detected in Wuhan, China. Nowhere else.”

If you cared not to deform and interpolate such a basic fact, mister Goebels,
you could see that all data available up to now, clearly point that in consideration of this viral
infection’s very very low detection profile, China happens to be the only nation with any chance to first detect, or even detect it at all, such a low profile infection, regardless where the epicenter might have been in the world, or how a long period after it the detection happened to conclude.

The low or very low detection profile of this viral infection means that even China managed to detect it after something like the third trip around the world of this virus… dude.

That is what the main clear point this data make.

In top of it the data also show Italy as a very spiky hot place at this time, elevating it to the higher possible position of ground zero or the epicenter.

That is the data, mister Goebels, as it stands, quite clear at it.
You like it or not it does not matter.

No much I can do,

China is the first that detected this viral infection.

This viral infection has a very very low detection profile.

China has a very large population in very many large condensed crowded places.
Life standard ok, but not as good as in the western developed nations, for the main population.

China has a good enough technology to apply for such detecting.

Italy has a very hot spiky jump in consideration of such very low profile viral infection,
suddenly and sadly, more than any else place there, just as it started screening.

That is the facts.
The rest, above this and beyond this will be further explaining it, if you still do not see the meaning, connection or the rationale there implied.

For which of the above you need evidence, mate?

Did not mean to offend you, but your question quite messy, not in its content but more in the consideration of how writen.

You do contest my understanding of the fact(s),
but you wholly fail to contest any of the fact I stated clearly.

If China had failed or missed to detect this virus, and taking out of the equation Italy,
the world may not have being aware at all of such a viral infection as
yet, with all numbers of the sick it already has.
How many trips around the world does that count for, in consideration of time in
question?

And I contest the one single fact you bring there, in the consideration that it stands as based in circumstantial evidence… not even validated as much of any more than “it must be”, a supposition, or assumption. (and this is a fact too)

It does not say “Hunger strike to the death”, you made that up.
A mass die in is a simulation you tool.

A “die in” is a pantomime of lying on the floor. Not suicide.

Hunger strike to the death, plenty of time to change you mind or be force fed by govt.

The only person I am aware of going all the way in recent times was Bobby Sands MP. Elected to parliamant while in life term in Her Majesty’s Maze prison N. I.

Loydo,

Explain “Kill crusties” on page 7.

“Crusty” is a slang name for old people.

So now we have XR wanting to commit murder and Sky News “reporters” wanting old people to die because we are more likely to be sceptical of climate change.

I’m surprised Dellingpole didn’t pick up on the “Kill crusties” bit.

Time to report XR to the police for inciting murder.

What do you think this refers to?

“Death march”

The National Socialists did a few of these in March/April 45.

My comment has been in quarantine, I mean moderation for hours now. Probably because of what’s on Page 7 about “crusties” of the XR nonsense.

Can you release the comment, please?

Perhaps you are blinded by your left wing ideology, Loydo. Open your eyes, your mind, seek the truth instead of what you are doing now. You’re not so stupid to retain your current belief system, though you might be.

If the “Climate Emergency” was even remotely a real thing, it wouldn’t be necessary for a bunch of eco-loons/terrorists to ‘scare the fu#k’ out of people, would it?

Go ahead, make my day. Everyone I have mentioned this too…..laughed, as did I. I’ll believe it when I see it, so far I don’t see them making any personal sacrifices, maybe they don’t have a new car usually, but that’s because they don’t work.
What they will do is interfere with other peoples working day, this actually might get some of them killed sooner or later and wouldn’t that be a shame….

Each time anyone scratches the Rebellions surface they find privileged kiddies with a cushy life ahead of them and too much to lose. They may push a few stupid ones forward for this bold new initiative, a bit like ISIS leaders never being the ones wearing the bomb vests.

The left, the progressives, the liberals, are infamous for normalizing wicked solutions. Some call it social progress, others call it forward-looking, tolerant, a necessary sacrifice, a profitable part, and others yet call it social justice.

Raised beds provide a barrier to weeds, bugs, etc.; they provide good drainage and ease of working the soil and harvesting. They generally look good too.

The sad thing here (referring the the BBS article) is that even if the sky falls all these deluded preppers, who think planting some veggies in the garden and a dose of love and reconciliation is the answer to gullible warming, are really doing is growing and stockpiling food for the first ‘ard bloke with a weapon to come along and, ahem, ‘repossess’ at their leisure.
Still, unlike Extinction Retardation, at least the rewilding preppers are not foisting their bone headed utopia on the rest of us, nor demanding that we pay for their life style choices, so in that respect I have no quarrel with them wasting their own time and hard earned.
Pity the poor pink dreadlocked children though who are being raised by such nutters and dragged to Welsh ‘organic farms’ to spend weekends learning to forage for weeds and seeds instead of just being kids; I don’t see much hope for their mentally healthy, socially successful futures.

Human sacrifice to appease Gaia. That’s a novel idea. I’ll bet no one has ever thought of that before. Maybe we should sacrifice babies to Moloch too.

“Climate change is, therefore, unlikely to be the 21st century’s most important environmental problem.”

Dr Indur M Goklany (2009) – former IPCC rapporteur.

Since the advent of Coronovirus, possibly the only prediction made of CC that’s ever come true. Take note extinction rebellion!

I have three groups of ~10 final year engineering students working on a project of mine. They were due to present on Friday, along with ~60 other students working on two other projects.

Sensibly, the University has cancelled all face to face events, so the lead tutor is working on online presentations.

Perhaps the COP 26 organisers would like some lessons.

I read that our overpriced over rated NBN is crashing as people try n work/study online
the rich who can pay more per plan are likely to get service with some speed
not so much anyone else
I was forced to have nbn phonelandline
and?
well i can call out IF the powers on only, useless in a fire etc when powers cut
but unless i buy a new phone incoming calls dont ring
needless to say it getting canned asap.
Aus prices for net n phone are waaay overpriced and slow compared to other nations
4G is useless in any rural places so we are all still reliant on 3G

The worst thing about the NBN is that non-NBN broadband will be taxed to help pay for the NBN. There is even a wish for mobile plans to be taxed too.

That is massive government intervention and coercion in order to force us to use this pathetic service. Including me, and we can’t even get fixed wireless where we are and would be forced to use a satellite connection. We’d be back to 2010 speeds if lucky. It’s like the ‘teens never happened.

Fortunately for me I’m getting to the point where the internet has little point anyway, being 95% social media and porn.
