Funding is one activity that has sustained the acts of vandalism carried out against art museums by the UK group Just Stop Oil.<\/p>\n

That faction has received financial backing from the Climate Emergency Fund, a global network of “climate activists” headquartered in Beverly Hills, California.<\/p>\n

This was verified on Aug. 10, 2022 when the New York Times reported<\/a> that the Climate Emergency Fund donated to Just Stop Oil\u2014\u201cclose to $1 million and helped cover salaries for 40 organizers and activists.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now there’s a new wrinkle in the funding story, which is the reason for this article… Hillary Clinton is involved. But first some anecdotal background.<\/p>\n

On Oct. 14, 2022, two young women from Just Stop Oil invaded London\u2019s National Gallery and poured Heinz tomato soup from a can onto Vincent Van Gogh\u2019s famous Sunflowers<\/em> oil painting. The women then glued their hands to the painting\u2019s antique frame.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the vile act against Van Gogh’s painting, was to draw attention to what the eco-vandals contend is the imminent collapse of the global environment due to the oil industry.<\/p>\n

I wrote about the criminal attack against the painting in an Oct. 17, 2022 essay titled Just Stop Oil Attacks Van Gogh\u2019s Sunflowers<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Oct. 27, 2022 two men wearing Just Stop Oil T-shirts barged into the Mauritshuis museum in the Hague, Netherlands to assault Johannes Vermeer\u2019s masterpiece Girl with a Pearl Earring<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

One vandal glued his head to the painting (it was protected by glass), the other glued his hand to the frame. Just Stop Oil denied organizing the attack, but issued a statement supporting the vandalism that read in part: \u201cWe applaud those ordinary everyday people who refuse to stand by, who step up to act.\u201d<\/p>\n

In my essay The Eco-Extremist War on Art<\/em><\/a>, I documented Just Stop Oil vandalizing the following artworks: a copy of Leonardo Da Vinci\u2019s The Last Supper<\/em> painted by Giampietrino, The Hay Wain<\/em> by John Constable, Thomson\u2019s Aeolian Harp<\/em> by JMW Turner, Peach Trees in Blossom<\/em> by Vincent Van Gogh, and My Heart\u2019s In The Homeland<\/em> by Horatio McCulloch.<\/p>\n

As it turns out the Climate Emergency Fund\u2019s 2022 Annual Report<\/a> contains a very interesting fact. On page 14 of the report the Climate Emergency Fund thanks their funders and lists them by name. It also gives a special thanks on page 15 to their \u201cdedicated donors\u201d in a listing of those \u201cwho go above and beyond.\u201d The Onward Together Foundation is acknowledged and commended in each listing.<\/p>\n

And what exactly is the Onward Together Foundation?<\/p>\n

The Onward Together Foundation is an advocacy group founded by Hillary Clinton; she created it after her loss to Donald J. Trump in the 2016 presidential election. On its tax return for 2022 the Onward Together Foundation described its mission:<\/p>\n

\u201cBy encouraging people to organize, get involved, and run for office, Onward Together will advance progressive values and work to build a brighter future for generations to come.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Also on the 2022 Onward Together tax return, there is an entry on page 36<\/a> that shows grants made to \u201cdomestic organizations.\u201d Those grants were made during the period between April 2021 and March 2022. The number 10 donation was made to the Climate Emergency Fund\u2014and the Onward Together Foundation gave that organization $300,000.<\/p>\n

Nowadays $300,000 can purchase a lot of canned Heinz tomato soup, and quite a bit of glue to adhere vandals to the frames of classical paintings.<\/p>\n

It is verified that the Climate Emergency Fund got loads of money from Hillary Clinton\u2019s Onward Together Foundation. The question is, did Hillary herself directly<\/em> contribute money?<\/p>\n
