NGOs and their motives

There are NGOs and there are NGOs. They are as diverse as the stars in this galaxy.

Even within NGOs, there are different camps. Greenpeace is one group that is too big to speak coherently. Its like an old man suffering from different types of cancer.

The problem with NGOs nowadays is that they speak what their funders and investors tell them to say.  So most of them end up contradicting themselves and with positions which are insensitive, selfish, and out of whack with reality. They want Noah to build an Ark bigger than the Earth so that no animal is left behind.

It is therefore important to always look for the motives underlying NGOs. It usually has something to do with money.
