Anarchists Get Sloppy

by Richard Blakley 

Were the climate activists sitting in roads blocking the streets complaining about global warming during the recent blizzard across the nation?  No!  They were the ones terrorizing a Jewish synagogue, supposedly protesting immigration police, because immigration police officers are doing their job ridding our country of illegal aliens who have broken our laws and are committing crimes, like pedophilia and murder.

Climate Defiance was the organization that protested in the sanctuary.  What does a synagogue have to do with global warming?  It doesn’t.  How are climate alarmism and arresting illegal aliens related?  They aren’t.  Climate Defiance is not about climate.  Climate Defiance is not about ICE enforcement.  Climate Defiance is about anarchy.

The anarchists of Climate Defiance were so sloppy that when they decided to create anarchy against ICE enforcement, they didn’t even bother to change their name to “ICE Defiance.”  They kept the name “Climate Defiance.”  How stupid.  They overplayed their hand, showing their real intent.

These anarchists interrupted a service with “a barrage of crude theatrics and profane insults,” supposedly because democrat Congressman Tom Suozzi was speaking and Suozzi had voted to increase ICE funding.  With tongue in check, you might ask, “Maybe Climate Defiance thought ICE funding somehow was related to the non-existent global warming?”  Their “barrage of crude theatrics and profane insults” clearly shows that their intellect is lacking.

While Climate Defiance is a three-year-old organization “known for disrupting politicians during high-profile events,” and “blocking highways,” it received its 501(c)(3) from the IRS in July of 2025, enabling the organization to receive tax-deductible donations and contributions directly from foundations and donor-advised funds.  Apparently, the same anarchists running Climate Defiance are also running “Climate Defiance Action,” which is a 501(c)(4) organization.  With their new 501(c)(3) status, founder Michael Greenberg stated that this new recognition can “help us level up and reach the max level of power and scale,” n doubt meaning, they plan to suck money in through the 501(c)(3), and funnel the resources to the 501(c)(4), so they will not have restrictions.

501(c)(3) organizations are supposed to be for “religious, charitable, scientific, literary or educational purposes.”  It is hard to see how attacking a synagogue service with “a barrage of crude theatrics and profane insults,” and “disrupting politicians during high-profile events,” fits into one of these categories.  In addition, 501(c)(3) organizations are prohibited from supporting political candidates and are subject to limits on lobbying, which if they violate these rules, they risk the loss of their tax-exempt status.

The Washington Free Beacon reported, “Climate Defiance took credit for Biden’s attacks on oil and gas projects.”  In fact, Climate Defiance claimed victory when in January 2024, Biden issued a “moratorium on all pending natural gas export projects.”  After issuing the moratorium, Biden’s Whitehouse issued a press release “touting Climate Defiance’s support for the policy.”  Should the status of their 501(c)(3) be questioned?  Or maybe a better question is, “Should they have ever been given a 501(c)(3) status?”

In 2023 the California-based Climate Emergency Fund (CEF) provided the seed funds for Climate Defiance and at the time stated it was “incredibly proud” to remain its lead funder. The Washington Free Beacon obtained CEF tax forms, but oddly they did not show direct contributions to Climate Defiance.  What they did show was that CEF wired $357,500 to the Oil and Gas Action Network, “which trains climate protesters and manages a network of 30 climate disruption groups.”  This was in 2023.  This sounds like a well-financed organized network of trained anarchists, for if Climate Defiance has turned its attention to anti-ICE riots, then what do you suppose the other 30 climate disruption groups are doing?

It is interesting to note that both Oil and Gas Action Network and Climate Defiance solicit donations through the Action Network, which is an open platform used by the Democratic National Convention (DNC) and other progressive groups for funding.

In 2024 it was stated that the lead benefactor of Climate Defiance was a “dark money fund” backed by Hollywood millionaire “elites.”  A partial list can be found here, which also includes, not surprisingly, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

Climate Defiance earned infamy for emerging as “one of the nation’s loudest and most disruptive activist groups.”

Another California nonprofit, the “Energy Foundation China,” funnels millions of dollars to other left-wing climate nonprofits, such as the Rocky Mountain Institute, International Council on Clean Transportation, Institute for Transportation and Development Policy, and Natural Resources Defense Council.  The Energy Foundation China has direct ties to the CCP pushing “for radical climate initiatives that favor China and harm American energy production,” according to Caitlin Sutherland, the executive director of ethics watchdog Americans for Public Trust.  The Energy Foundation China takes contributions from anonymous donors and funnels the cash to environmental programs nationwide.  For example, hoards of money were sent to groups to ban gas stoves in America, and push for aggressive electric vehicle mandates in Washington, D.C.  In December 2024, the group’s two offices in China were “rife with Chinese nationals who have ties to the Chinese Communist Party.”

Just to note, Energy Foundation China wired grants to Harvard College, the University of California, Berkeley, the University of California, Los Angeles, and the University of Maryland to support research and education on building a “clean energy future” and advancing “low carbon cities.”  Is this money for research and education or for indoctrination into a lie?  If the CCP were so gung-ho on “low carbon cities” why is it building 43 new coal-fired power plants and 18 new blast furnaces adding about 1.5% more to its current annual emissions?

If all of this is not about causing subversion and anarchy in the U.S. why would a Democrat Texas state representative circulate a video clip telling Latino, Black, and Asian people to unite against the “oppressor” [white people] and “take over” the United States.  What is this Democrat representative’s name?  It was Gene Wu.  Mr. Wu was born in China and acts like a sleeper-cell that has just been activated.

So, are the anarchists homegrown?  There are Americans duped into following anarchist lies, but large amounts of money are coming from the CCP to support them and train them.

It is not going to start getting warm in the winter again until about 2028–2029, for in 2023–2024, the earth was at its closest position to the sun making it warmer, but this is an 11-year cycle and now we are heading towards cold weather for the next 5–6 years.  So, climate alarmists are going to have to do something else because it is hard to convince a population of global warming, during a blizzard.  Climate Defiance has already proven that it will find something to occupy its time while we wait for the warming trend to begin again.  Just what non-climate related thing will those radical anarchists do next?

In Mark chapter 3 and verse 24 Jesus says, “if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.”  Isn’t this what the anarchists are doing, dividing America against itself?
