How should we regard conservation orgs that view the primary instigators of climate change as irreplacable allies? tl;dr JFK administration birthed USAID which created AIDS for killing more Africans. The food aid kills them too. Am I joking? More on this later.

Wolf in sheep's clothing with a baby in its mouth, so we killed the baby too a bit.
