You really can’t make this stuff up.
I think my new hobby is basically doing deep dives into bullshit non-profits and exposing them for being utter jokes despite their airs of authority. I would have made a GREAT insurance claims investigator for fraudulent workman’s comp claims. I absolutely detest grifters and I’m good at patiently digging down and putting clues together from lots of social media garbage posts.
Our local socialist cockroach, of course, has his fingers in many grifter pies. This latest is no different.
Yeah, I remember the LAST time you were a “speaker” at an event. There was the pipe dream of this…
Then the reality of THIS: random street urchins grabbing the microphone to whine about how Daddy didn’t buy them a pony…
The first thing I think when I see a post like this is: Clayton Tucker is not qualified to speak about ANYTHING, let alone farming – so how did this happen? Who did he trick?
Can you imagine how his ‘speech’ would go?
“Hi, I’m Clayton Tucker! I founded a ranch seven weeks ago and I sold FOUR goats last year! I live with my mom. Derp derp!!”
Next speaker.
So then I have to assume the people running this must be grifters or morons or grifter morons. And I’m always right.
This time is no different.
The event is hosted by Food Tank. Get it?? Instead of “Think Tank” it is a “Food Tank“! Its goal is to “highlight environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable ways of alleviating hunger, obesity and poverty,” according to Wikipedia.
Now you may ask how hunger/poverty and obesity exist in the same mission statement – because you are a smart and logical person. But those kinds of logical points will escape this crowd. Because they are ALL about the buzzwords and the grift. Throw in “equity” this and a dash of “sustainability” that and then put your grubby hands out for government grants. I’m just surprised that “gender” didn’t appear anywhere in the bylines.
The first way we know this is a massive grift, is that it is run by three clowns who are not farmers. They are idiot activists. Also, strangely, they are all Jews, which is weird as shit all by itself. Jews make up about 2.5% of the U.S. population, but seem to be behind a LOT of grifts and schemes to fuck this country up more.
Make of that what you will.
First we have Bernard Pollack. Bernard has the most punchable face I have ever seen outside of David Schwimmer.
Bernie (Hey! Just like Bernie Sanders! Another grifter Jewish man who has never worked a real day in his life!) has likely never gotten dirt under his well-manicured fingernails in his life. He was an AFL-CIO douchebag for most of his career.
According to his LinkedIn: He is an expert at non-profit, political, and union campaigning, public relations, and strategy. He spent more than ten years organizing state and national campaigns for the National AFL-CIO that resulted in the election of dozens major pro-worker candidates and laws in three dozen states. He developed communication programs for union organizing, referendums, and elections all over the U.S. and worked extensively with media reporting on workers’ issues.
Yeah. I doubt he’s ever so much as grown a tomato in his entire grifter life.
Next up is Danielle Nierenberg – she is an “activist, journalist and author,” but also not a farmer. In fairness, according to her Wiki, she DID join the Peace Corps and went to the Dominican Republic where she “worked with farmers and urban school kids.” Of course, that is hard, thankless work, so she got her ass back into college as fast as possible after that then joined a string of non-profits so she could grift in air-conditioned comfort, no doubt.
Finally we have Ellen Gustafson. She is a “businessperson” and also a “social entrepreneur,” whatever the fuck THAT means. Her main claim to fame seems to be starting ANOTHER grifter non-profit called FEED with Lauren Bush.
Yes, THAT Lauren Bush. Granddaughter of George H.W. Bush and niece of George W. Bush.
Gee, I wonder if she has any connections to free government shit and ‘environmental’ scams? I guess we’ll never know. I’m sure Lauren, the fashion model and designer, does a LOT of farming on the side, too. Probably loves spreading turkey shit on all the crops she grows.
This is the life that Comrade Clayton DREAMS of – going around lying about being a farmer, but getting PAID for it. Right now, he only has the first part down cold. But by god, he is working his hardest to kiss the right asses so he can get PAID to lie about his farming expertise!
