By Robert Bradley Jr. -- September 27, 2024

The Church of Climate is a hotbed for eco-terrorists. Remember the pumpkin-colored soup thrown at the Mona Lisa, which was protected/saved by advanced glass manufactured by Koch (Guardian Industries)?

Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland, both 22, threw two tins of Kraft Heinz tomato soup at the painting at the National Gallery and then glued themselves to the wall in October 2022 in the group’s high-profile stunt.
