Naomi Klein's false opportunism on Bolivia- Part One

Tortilla con Sal, November 13th 2019

In this Twitter thread Cory Morningstar and Michael Swifte challenge Naomi Klein's message on Twitter that falsely cliams suport and affinity for the 2010 People's Agreement of Cochabamba while saying nothing to condemn the continuing military backed US government supported coup in Bolivia

Yes. This is beyond grotesque. Klein references a Bolivian initiative under the Morales gov't - as a lure 
to promote the GND - without a single acknowledgment to the coup itself. What Klein does not 
reference is far more compelling: the 2010 People's Agreement of Cochabamba.

The Cochabamba People's Agreement (April 2010) came out of the Bolivian World People's 
Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth conference. It was Indigenous-led, with
people attending from around the world. #Bolivia http://theartofannihilation.com/350-agent-saboteur/

#Whiteness and racism played a key role at this conference. 350's (Klein serves on the board) sole 
purpose for attending the conference in Bolivia was to literally undermine the host country’s official 
policy position on climate change (300 ppm, 1ºC limit, etc.)

It is Klein & her ilk that did not listen. If the "movement" had of mobilized behind that agreement in 
2010, perhaps things would be far different today. Instead - they buried it. We now witness a global 
lobby for green tech under the guise of environmentalism. It is surreal.

This segment [The Continued DeKlein of the Postmodern Imperial-Liberal Left] explains what 
transpired following the conference. The NGOs & "leaders" at the helm of the so-called movement 
effectively marginalized the Agreement. A slow, deliberate death.
