Excerpt: Just Stop Oil’s stunts are partly funded by a campaign organization run by Hillary Clinton, US financial disclosures reveal.
A group founded by Mrs Clinton from the ashes of her failed presidential bid has donated $500,000 (£391,500) in the last three years to the protest group’s California-based financiers.
American voters who have bought tote bags decorated with pictures of Mrs Clinton or sweatshirts promoting abortion rights have inadvertently funded disruption in the UK.
Just Stop Oil’s largest financial backer is a controversial Californian non-profit, the Climate Emergency Fund (CEF), which pays for stunts by environmental groups across the world, including Extinction Rebellion.
A paper trail of transparency disclosures, seen by The Telegraph, shows that one of the CEF’s major supporters is Onward Together, a campaign organisation founded by Mrs Clinton in the aftermath of her 2016 presidential campaign against Donald Trump.
Onward Together gave $300,000 to the CEF in 2021, and a further $200,000 in 2022. The money donated by her group was placed into a fund that was used to pay for Just Stop Oil’s protests in the UK.
The donations are the largest contribution by Mrs Clinton’s organisation to a non-profit in the last three years, and are funded by public contributions and the sale of merchandise from her online shop.
However, although the Onward Together website lists a number of “partners” supported by her group, it makes no reference to the CEF or Just Stop Oil, who are the ultimate recipients of some of the money it has donated.
A separate arm of Onward Together contributes to specific candidates in US elections.
The group has previously been criticized for accepting money from foreign donors to fund its stunts, which have recently included the vandalism of Stonehenge and paint sprayed at Heathrow airport.
Some MPs have called for the group to be designated as a terror organization. The total cost of policing Just Stop Oil by the Metropolitan Police alone was almost £20 million by the end of last year, and is now likely to be much higher.
The CEF was established in 2019 by Aileen Getty, the granddaughter of the oil tycoon J. Paul Getty, and campaigns for governments to adopt climate-friendly policies.
It is backed by several Hollywood celebrities, including Jeremy Strong, the Succession star, who sits on its board. Other major donors, other than Mrs Clinton, include a fund run by Susie Tompkins Buell, the co-founder of the North Face clothing brand.
Mrs. Clinton’s support for the group, and indirectly for the protests of Just Stop Oil, is likely to come as a surprise to her own donors, who are told only that Onward Together is “committed to lifting up emerging organizations and leaders who are fighting for our shared progressive values and defending our democracy”.
Supporters can buy mugs and tote bags decorated with pictures of Mrs Clinton and the words: “Turns out she was right about everything.”

Morano on funding of Just Stop Oil & Extinction Rebellion climate activists: ‘They are funded by & speaking for the world’s billionaires, millionaires, international foundations, academia & the corporate world’ – ‘They are not taking it to the man — they are literally the spokesman for the man!’
Morano: Most people, if you look at social media, don’t understand this. These moronic, Just Stop Oil, Climate Emergency protesters we see out there — these are not against the establishment avant-garde young activists out there. A lot of them are deluded, and they’re part of the climate cult, but the most important about this: They are doing the bidding, they are funded by & speaking for the world’s billionaires, millionaires, international foundations, academia and the corporate world. What do I mean? Hollywood director Adam McKay has given $4 million to these groups, the Climate Emergency Fund.
Eileen Getty of the oil family, the Getty Foundation, has funded groups like Just Stop Oil and others that throw paint on Van Gogh paintings and disrupt traffic.
So, in other words, these young morons actually think they’re out there: ‘I’m against the establishment. I’m avant-garde, I’m protesting, I’m taking it to the man.’ But they are literally the spokesman for the man! Everything they’re saying is all the same stuff you hear from Klaus Schwab, from John Kerry, our climate envoy. It’s all the same crap. You hear the same from the UN Secretary-General. It’s the same crap you can hear from any random college professor.
This is the horse bleep that they want us to believe that somehow these are against the establishment. They are the establishment! And the whole point of what they’re doing is to create chaos and disruption for society and lead society so that a few people at the top will have top-down control of society. That’s all these little idiots are out there. And the saddest part is they actually think that they’re taking it to the system when the system is funding them, supporting them, and promoting them in every way possible.
