Just Stop, “Just Stop Oil,” Shock Troops for the Globalists By James Reed
The group, Just Stop Oil, has been making news by throwing carbon products on oil paintings, and gluing themselves with carbon-based glues to whatever is around. Paul Joseph Watson has a must-see video ripping into them, showing how the system, such as police, bend over backwards for them, while on the other hand, beating up Covid lockdown protesters. It is one of the best critiques I have seen. Incredible stuff where these rich kids block a street and the police ask them if they will let an ambulance go by! That says it all. Oh, and read on to see what globalist supports them; a family having something to do with oil, at least in the past.

“The co-founder of non-profit Climate Emergency Fund, an organization which financially supported several climate protests in the UK including the throwing of tomato soup at van Gogh’s Sunflowers, is an heir to a major US oil tycoon.
The co-founder, Aileen Getty, is the granddaughter of J. Paul Getty, who founded Getty Oil, an American oil marketing company. At his death in 1976, the elder Getty was worth approximately $6 billion (or over $30 billion in 2022 dollars). Texaco purchased the company, and its oil reserves, in 1984 for $10.1 billion.
The heiress, Aileen, has never worked in the oil industry and is an active philanthropist. In 2019, she co-founded the Climate Emergency Fund, which provides grants to activists and protest groups trying to stop the widespread use of fossil fuels, often through civil disobedience.
Getty has personally donated $1 million to CEF, while her self-named foundation “dedicates the bulk of its resources to organizations and individuals addressing the climate emergency”.
The details about Getty’s identity and her financial involvement in CEF have returned to the spotlight after two activists from organization Just Stop Oil protested at the iconic van Gogh painting at the National Gallery in London earlier this month. The soup-throwing incident generated headlines worldwide and criticism from UK Labor leader Sir Keir Starmer. Video of activist Phoebe Plummer’s explanation for the action also went viral online.
On Saturday, Getty published an op-ed in The Guardian acknowledging her role in funding climate activism, noting how fossil fuel extraction made their families rich, and calling for a systemic shift to clean energy. The New York Times profiled Getty and Rebecca Rockefeller Lambert, another oil tycoon scion, and their climate activism in August.
However, Getty’s ancestry has raised further criticism around the confrontational nature of many climate protests from organizations like Just Stop Oil, which frequently involve the (non-permanent) vandalism of major artworks and, in some cases, art institutions that do not have ties to funders of the fossil fuel industry.
In addition to Van Gogh’s Sunflowers, Just Stop Oil activists have glued themselves to the frames of famous paintings at the Royal Academy, the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow, and the Manchester Art Gallery.
The Just Stop Oil protests have inspired similar protests, including two German activists who threw liquid mashed potatoes at a Claude Monet painting on display at the Museum Barberini in Potsdam, Germany on Sunday.
On October 15, the CEF tweeted several statements about the criticism of Getty’s wealth. Pointing to her long standing philanthropic work in housing, HIV/AIDs, and climate activism, the organization asked, “If you were in her shoes, how would you use your money for good?”
For Getty, it likely means more fundraising and high-profile headline-garnering events, after CEF announced October would be a month of “sustained, disruptive protest” in 11 countries. Four Just Stop Oil protesters were arrested Sunday after blocking traffic on London’s Abbey Road, the crossing made famous by The Beatles.”
“A climate extremist glued his own head to the famous Girl with a Pearl Earring painting in the Netherlands in the latest attack on a work of art by climate extremists.
The incident took place at the Mauritshuis Museum in the Hague on Thursday as members of the Just Stop Oil group entered the museum and approached “The Girl with a Pearl Earring” by 17th century painter Johannes Vermeer, with one of the activists glueing his head to the glass in front of the painting.
“Around 2 p.m., two people stuck to the earring of Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring,” the museum said in a statement following the incident, French newspaper Le Parisien reports.
“One person stuck his head to the painting, which was protected by glass, and the other person stuck his hand to the wall where the painting is hung. A third person threw an unknown substance on the painting,” the museum said and continued, “Our experts immediately inspected the painting. Fortunately, it was not damaged.”
The museum added that the painting would be displayed again as soon as possible, while those involved were arrested by police shortly after the attack on the painting.”
