https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIU3ML3xHng is Jimmy Dore with Max Blumenthal (of The 
Grayzone) on the suppression of the "Planet of the Humans" documentary (English:

versions which resulted from a bogus copyright complaint YouTube reacted to) covers a 
lot of interesting topics:

- California's alleged push to mandate electric cars,

The increased demand for battery-powered tech means an increase in the demand for 
cobalt. Cobalt is mined by children in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Congolese 
families are suing big tech firms of knowingly using children to do this hazardous 
work in unsafe conditions. This will be an interesting lawsuit both in how little 
establishment media coverage this receives, and in terms of the suit itself to see 
how far this goes. If the push for electric or hybrid cars goes as Blumenthal says, 
California may end up exacerbating the problem of so many cars on the road by getting 
people to think that consumerism will save the planet ('if we just purchase the 
/right/ things...') instead of realizing that consumerism will never solve climate 
problems,

- the connection to big bank money and big foundation money,

- and "greenwashing".
