Activists Vandalize Stonehenge With Orange Paint

Environmental activists from Just Stop Oil sprayed Stonehenge with orange powdery paint. Although several people stepped in to try to stop the vandalization, they were successful. The organization posted their reasoning for defacing the structure on X, writing "2 people took action the day before Summer Solstice, demanding the incoming government sign up to a legally binding treaty to phase out fossil fuels by 2030." The suspects were later arrested. Inside Edition Digital has more.

Because of washoff-able paint? Xd Their message isnt ignorant at least

[@CT1513-hw8mo]

​@@MalkuthEmperor message? Ruin a monument that has stood for ages as a site to memorialize a religion that was nature based? Bc they love nature and want to stop big oil. Yep, what a solid, foolproof way to get a message spread, with no issue and everyone on your side.

this is a crime against humanity!!!

How is it possible that Stonehenge has NO security.SHAME on England.

[@gigiitsme7236]

They do! In fact everyone goes over the line and security tries to stop them. It happens way too often. They mad that they can’t run around in there.. but little do they know and this is added to the list!

Because Stonehenge is a symbol of modern oil consumption, Right ?

[@patrickbernier5495]

They should be jailed with a view of an oil refinery from their prison bars. Also fun fact, its no secret how stonehenge was built. An engineer with a masters in physics from North Dakota (i believe it was) had built his own 1:1 stonehenge replica in his backyard. The man showed some of the tricks he uses to move, lift, and position 2 ton slabs of stone with NO POWER TOOLS OR EQUIPMENT. Just good old leverage

Can someone with more than one brain cell explain to me how can you make a government to phase out fossil fuels by painting over a prehistoric megalithic structure monument that dates back to 3100 BC?? 🧠

[@donnievance1942]

I have more than one brain cell and that allows me to figure out that environmental activists have enough brain cells not to do actions which will cause the public to react against their cause. Use your one brain cell to figure out whose interests were served by this action. Then ask your brain cell if it is likely that it was organized and paid for by fossil fuel interests. Did you ever hear of the ancient tactic of provocateur actions, otherwise known as false flags? I was once the target of an attempt to recruit me into such an action, so I know what I'm talking about.

While we all want fossil fuels phased out, damaging Stonehenge is foolish and unhelpful. This group needs to find a more effective way to protest and elicit change.
