The climate activist group “Declare Emergency” was behind the act.

https://observer.com/2022/10/climate-activists-throw-soup-on-a-van-gogh-in-london-and-us-museums-worry-they-may-be-next/Just Stop Oil demonstrators have glued themselves to artwork in prominent U.K. museums over the past few months, targeting London’s Courtauld Gallery and Royal Academy of Arts, in addition to museums in Glasgow and Manchester. In Italy, climate group Ultima Generazione has staged similar protests at Florence’s Uffizi Gallery and the Vatican Museums, while German environmental organizers from Letzte Generation Group struck museums in Berlin, Munich, Dresden and Frankfurt over the past month. All three climate groups are funded by the Climate Emergency Fund, a California-based fund founded in 2019 by philanthropic millionaires to support environmental activism.

So a well-funded international organisation funding acts of disruption across UK, Europe, USA and probably other countries as well. And absolutely nothing whatsoever is done about them – just nothing at all. If these had been of the political right there would have been a huge effort by numerous law enforcement groups to investigate and shut down this ‘hate’ group. This has got to stop, they have to be defunded and this behaviour has got to be shown as unacceptable – they might be just throwing powder around today but some of them, the more extreme ones, will (or have already) move on to arson, bombs and guns. Make no mistake, this is a terrorist organisation – it’s methods may not be on a par with the Red Brigade, IS or Al Qaeda yet but that’s where they’re heading. The time to stop this, before the bodies pile up, is now.
It has all the makings of a pink insurrection, but given that these guys are covered in the substance, the police weren’t sure if they had the culprits or whether they were innocent bystanders.
Sure it must have been very confusing for the guards – the powder is on the case, on their clothes, there’s a big space around them with no-one close and they’re the only ones making stupid remarks to a camera. I’m guessing the guards must’ve spent a few minutes searching for the perpetrators elsewhere in the building, right?
There’s a security guard in the photo above. They are just standing there while the perps check their cell phones. WTF?? Those twerps ought to be face down on the ground in handcuffs by the time anyone could snap a picture.
It was all so very confusing. The guards were only distracted for a moment and coincidentally surveillance cameras malfunctioned at the same time. Without reason, staff had allowed the subject to accumulate extra bedsheets and linens.
Sorry, wrong conspiracy.
If I was there I would have tackled one of the guys and put a swift knee in his crotch. I am surprised the other occupants didn’t do a thing. i was infuriated watching that fiasco.
Noble sentiment. Would you have been concerned about what the powder was?
Not really – it’s pink and they’re handling it without gloves or protective gear so, like with the orange powder in the UK, it’s just paint powder.
Well OJ IS still looking for Nicole’s killer!
All OJ has to do is look in a mirror. Case solved!
Guards ????? I saw a buns of unemployed put into something resembling an uniform. They would not even find a job at Walmart as a guard.
move on to arson, bombs and guns
Or other, more dangerous powders.
How did you like the guards lack of action for so long? It’s pretty obvious they didn’t even try to stop them. How did they know the powder was harmless?
It could have been red lead ( lead(II,IV) oxide, (Pb 3O 4, “red lead“). Maybe it was.
Because the idjits are handling it with bare hands, no gloves, respirators or protective gear. The snowflakes wouldn’t handle a dangerous powder like that, they’d be wearing full MOPP equivalent – get a grip.
Because the idjits
There’s the operative word – these folk aren’t necessarily all that bright.
Also, though, some of the acts we’ve seen in the past from these extremists demonstrate that they don’t necessarily care about their own safety, or may even intentionally harm or kill themselves to “make a point”, so I don’t think any assumption is safe.
I am completely mystified as to why this document was targeted as surely it would have brought the group nothing but bad reviews? What on earth was that Guard doing, just lounging around? Has there been any explanation for his behaviour?
I remain equally mystified as to why these idiots target great works of art. What is the purpose -is it merely to gain maximum publicity, even if that is negative?
According to their website these morons think that…
“every time the state imprisons us for nonviolently demanding a livable future, we win a moral battle. The more the state oppresses those asking for the right to live in a sustainable world, the less tenable its moral stance becomes in the eyes of the greater public.”
WRONG.
According to a Pew poll in the US…
“About half of Americans (49%) say climate activism does not really affect people’s levels of support, and 21% believe it has the opposite of its intended effect and makes people less likely to support action on climate change.”
In the UK it is orange powder. Just Stop Oil uses orange powder to do the same type of thing. These low-IQ people are just aping each other. Monkey see, monkey do.
I don’t know what the penalty is for defacing the U.S. Constitution display case like this, but I hope it is a fairly long prison sentence.
These low-IQ puppets. Green Shirts and Climate Jugend.
Any bright colour will do, except Green for some reason?
The left/Democrat Party hates the United States and wants to destroy our country – our rights, history, values, etc. They hate the Constitution as part of that. Every so often they’ll even tell you directly (often adding that it’s a racist document that was written by old white men). And of course, Brandon and his ilk wipe their butts with the Constitution every day.
The side issue here, and probably in other examples of criminal conduct involving the CAGW theme, is the inability or unwillingness of the Security staff to stop or interrupt these events. Begging your pardon, but it appears that DEI (Diversity/Equity/Inclusion) is involved. A counter example is the citizens that detained (beat in some cases) the shooters at the World Football Champions Kansas City Chiefs parade. Which do you want?
The security guards follow their instructions. The same is true for the urban crime of graffiti. Security and law enforcement are instructed not to interfere unless physical violence ensues. The protestors are exercising their expanded right to “free speech”, which evidently includes the damage to property belonging to others.
Security guards job is “observe and report”, but I would expect that guards in the National Archive would have at least some police authority to intervene to prevent acts like this.
What do they do if someone comes up and tries to break the glass?
Not a lot of Diversity among the ‘Security’ staff.
After those punks did their dirty deed- several cops just stood around for several minutes doing nothing. Eventually, they politely pleaded with the punks to get down. I just can’t understand that and was shocked to watch it on YouTube.
“Everyone deserves a livable climate.” I wonder how that works. For sure they would have gotten more publicity if the “cops” had pummeled them to the ground with their clubs and continued to do so for some time creating a pool of blood.
Well, there’s something between doing nothing and looking stupid vs. pummeling them. They could have grabbed their arms and put on cuffs and taken them away- normal police work. It’s almost as if the cops were terrified of being rough with them what with the public standing there with cameras. Instead, the public will think the cops were not doing their jobs.
Whoever was filming should have been arrested FIRST. Every time.
Confiscate their cameras/phones. Follow the text and call trail. Take every one into custody and treat them like the DOJ has treated the Jan 6 crowd. They would not see the light of day for 6 months or more.
Who was the lady in the red coat who was allowed to continue filming while the rest of the public had to leave?
Who was the young man in the white coat and old jeans who walked away at the start greeting the activists?
An interesting situation. In the halls of Congress and the White House the US Constitution is defiled regularly by the elected representatives, asset forfeiture a case in point. Attributing holiness to a piece of parchment with an outdated and ignored philosophy makes the same amount of sense as damaging it in an attempt to legitimize an unpopular and scientifically illiterate theory. “Democracy” is, in fact, a secular religion so as the lighting afire of the stars and stripes and obscuring the Constitution, holy relics, the bones of saints, are the palpable realities of an abstraction and must be protected, preserved yet made visible to the subjects. The mummified corpse of Lenin serves the same purpose in Red Square.
If Yankees require the unqualified worship of such a relic to insure the survival of their republic, its survival would seem to be in doubt.
‘In the halls of Congress and the White House the US Constitution is defiled regularly…’
You and Lysander beat me to it.
Lysander Spooner,
No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority
Attributing holiness to a piece of parchment with an outdated and ignored philosophy
Do you think we should have a constitution? Or should we just let government do whatever the majority wants done?
What do you believe is outdated regarding the document?
PS: I don’t see anyone “attributing holiness” to the document, that’s your delusions kicking in. I do see people saying that it should be followed and not ignored.
The constitution was implemented to control government. It has failed.
An example of its being outdated: at the time the second amendment was added, “arms” weren’t just pistols and rifles, they were swords, maces, knives, spears, lances, shillelaghs, garottes, foils, epees, canes, walking sticks, billy clubs and more.
Holiness? Displayed and protected in a marble rotunda, a kind of ark of the covenant? No evident holiness there! Wander further around the capital, idols of the gods of democracy are on display. If the Lincoln monument isn’t idolatry, nothing is, even though the railsplitter god ignored democracy as a matter of course. We’ll briefly mention how the democratic religion spread, gaze on Mount Rushmore, an insult to rationality.
The National Park Service agrees with you…
https://www.nps.gov/articles/secret-symbol-of-the-lincoln-memorial.htm
It has failed
So what is your solution? Just throw it out?
As for being outdated – well, it contains within itself a mechanism for change.
“An example of its being outdated: at the time the second amendment was added, “arms” weren’t just pistols and rifles”
Your example illustrates the opposite. Suppose they had written “the right of the people to keep and bear muskets”
To say the constitution is outdated is to say human nature is outdated. Our constitution seeks to balance that part of human nature which allows man to live as a free individual, against those aspects of human nature which pose a threat to others.
As we are learning, probably too late, human beings reject the constitution at great peril.
‘Do you think we should have a constitution? Or should we just let government do whatever the majority wants done?’
Based on where we are today, it looks like the answer to both questions was ‘yes’. The problem isn’t the Constitution, it’s the people who were supposed to ‘uphold and defend’ it, which includes all of us.
Since even the IPCC can’t find any evidence that the weather is getting worse, just exactly what do these idiots think is a “livable climate?!”
What do they think this is, Oprah??
“You get San Diego climate” You get the San Diego climate” EVERYBODY gets the San Diego climate!”
Deluded &%$#@ur momisugly!&* IDIOTS 🙄
They are literally complaining about one of the BEST set of climate conditions humans have experienced during modern civilization.
Just look at the position the police have been put in.
In NYC, as the cops tried to arrest one “asylum seeker”, they were jumped by 7 more. Because of leftist policies, and the laws allowing trial lawyers to sue police for just about anything, they didn’t even have billy clubs to defend themselves with.
It has been said that when the government does not enforce criminal statutes for theft of property and assault, etc. with sufficient punishment, eventually the people will provide the punishment themselves. When that happens the punishment will be death.
If this crap was happening 50 years ago, that would already be the case. With cameras everywhere, people are just taking it.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Magna Carta has got blood stains on it.
Which one?
There were over 40 copies made originally, although only 4 now remain. So which one do you think may have blood stains on it?
Wonder when they’ll try it at Mao or Lenin’s tomb?
I wonder what would happen if someone were to interrupt a board meeting of the Climate Emergency Fund and poured soup on the board members? Would they not be arrested or detained? Would charges not be brought or the perpetrators set free on their own recognizance?
I think not.
And that Dumb A$$ guard just stands there. He should be at the end of the unemployment line
By defacing the Constitution these em.effers clearly state they don’t give a damn about what it stands for.
Would it then not follow that they can not refer to it for any right granted by it? Let’s just bring that home and have them flogged ‘en publique pour encourager les autres’ and kicked out of town or out of country covered in tar and feathers.
Of course the actual constitution is under several inches of bullet and explosion resistant glass.
Watch the movie National Treasure and you will see how well the actual document is protected.
I have been there and seen the displayed documents.
I sort of wish I was there when these @ssh@ts pulled their stunt. Although in DC I would probably be in jail for assault and unlike these 2 clowns, would NOT be released immediately.
The destruction folks should be put away for a long time, say 25 years
The Jan6 demonstrators against a stolen election, guided inside the Capitol building by police, did not deface anything, but were given long sentences
TWO TIER JUSTICE IN THE USA UNDER THE USURPER DEMOCRAT REGIME
When did you leave this reality, and are you happier now?
That the so called rioters did no damage and in many cases were escorted by capital police can be seen on the security tapes. Is there anything you know that is actually true?
Just some peacful people asking questions about the election and doing a some sightseeing, right?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXnHIJkZZAs
and somehow, in your little universe, this is worse:
Condoning destruction of property. Very far-leftist of you.
Are you a member of BLM, AntiFa, JSO, XR.. or all of these street scum paid organisations?
I’m not condoning anything. People here just seem to think that dumping powder on a case is worse than trying to overthrow the government.
You have no clue what antifa is, right? Hate what your masters told you to hate.
They were trying the usurpation of the government by Obama’s UNIPARTY.
That BS will end as soon as Trump is elected by a landslide
So…are you happy now?
Yes you are condoning it, losername.
This is deliberate damaging of public property.
It is an expression of disloyalty to the Constitution and a public repudiation of citizenship.
I think their indication should be honored, their citizenship revoked, their passports confiscated, and they should be ushered over the border forthwith.
At least now we have confirmation you are a supporter of the slimy low-level loser thugs that are AntiFa.
Ah yes, the leftists are very good at repeating the catechism. Nobody tried to overthrow the government.
One group of people just walking around.
Another group of people committing vandalism.
Which do you think is worse?
Both groups need to be assigned a few hours of community service and the second group should be required to clean up after themselves and personally apologize to all the people who weren’t able to able to view the documents, despite standing in line for hours.
Did you watch the video?
Yes, did you?
Or did you only watch the cherry-picked excerpts from you mates is the far-left media ?
No wonder you are so totally mal-informed about basically everything.
So where’s the non cherry-picked video then?
You are the one totally devoid of any sense of reality.
It comes through in every post you make that you are living in some fantasy La-La-Land generated by a very feeble and ignorant mind.
Narcissists. Perhaps they should post some worthwhile security there, perhaps some Marines; people who would know what to do to those who wish to dump on our founding principles.
Those financing this vandalism should be brought up on terrorism charges, which under Garland, will happen on Feb 31.
Who has been printing all that was needed to buy/corrupt the system ?
So oil billionaires pay people for false flag operations to discredit environmental movements
If it’s funded by a ‘big oil’ heiress then it isn’t an ‘environmental movement’ is it? Considering that they are full of shite it’s more of a bowel movement.
Grow up. The Climate Emergency Fund, to which Getty contributes, funds 106 climate change activist organisations. She obviously believes!
It’s a too common occurrence – clueless descendants / survivors of entrepreneurs, aka people who became wealthy by better serving the needs of others, espouse causes that are detrimental to serving such needs in future.
The granddaughter of Getty Oil magnate is the founding donor of an org that funds Just Stop Oil and other similar groups
A fool and her money MUN….
So everybody who’s involved with the Getty family is de facto, big supporters of fossil fuels?
Tell me, have ever managed to think for yourself without pulling something?
There’s that fantasy La-la-land gibberish of your feeble little mind, again.
Just invent whatever makes sense to your twisted and demented ideology.
” analysis revealed that the powder dumped on the case was a mixture of pigment powder and cornstarch “
Is it appropriate to wish “room temperature” for these fools? I guess not.
The U.S. Oath of Citizenship includes “I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;”
These guys have repudiated their oath of loyalty to the Constitution. They should be required to re-state it. If they refuse: deportation.
If they do restate the oath, there should be a video record, which should be displayed for public view on the INS website.
Those who burn the flag likewise, candidly. Everyone gets a second chance. Three repudiations, and the offender loses U.S. citizenship and gets 6 months to arrange their affairs and move to the country of their choice (presuming some country would have them).
Mr Frank,
I am a natural-born US citizen. As such, I have never been required to take that oath. (I would, happily, if asked.)
My bride, a naturalized US citizen, did swear that oath, along with about 2300 other new US citizens, at her citizenship ceremony.
So, many, many of us have never sworn that oath. Some have.
The oath of loyalty to the Constitution is implied for every natural-born citizen.
There many legal immigrants in history that didn’t come here “for free stuff” but to be Free.
And they are thankful for what’s left of the ideals of Freedom expressed in The Declaration of Independence and The Bill of Rights.
So, the question is would they swear to the ideal of Freedom or just free stuff?
(I’ve no doubt what you and your bride would swear to.) 😎
The left has always hated the US Constitution because it limits the power of government.
80%+ of what the Federal government does is unconstitutional. It would be more accurate to say that the Left always hates those who believe that the Constitution imposes limits on the power of government.
I would not worry what these Green Shirts are doing to the case holding the US Constitution. I would worry what your puppet government is doing to destroy it and the country it represents.
Call them what they are. They are domestic terrorists. And not very bright ones at that. Activist has some positive meaning , don’t credit the brainwashed ignorant with any positive value.
The picture.
I have to wonder just why in the “H” was the guard just standing there doing absolutely NOTHING!
I’m sure she wasn’t the only guard there.
Why weren’t those fools already face down and handcuffed before they had a chance for their “photo op”?
(I mean, sheesh! Her hands are in her pockets! Does she still have a job?)
The powder isn’t pink. It’s Red. (Red China, Communism used to be what “Red” was associated with.)
What were the “guards” doing?
1/6 they escorted the protesters into the building. Then they shot and killed an unarmed female veteran.
