Rachel Donald

Rachel describes herself as a human being at her core, deeply
involved in investigating gaslighting in the realm of climate
corruption. She focuses on those who claim to do good but
continue harmful practices. This drive stems from her upbringing
in a household with a strong orientation towards justice, yet
marred by unspoken pain and gaslighting. Rachel emphasizes the
importance of truth-telling and courage, especially in the face
of widespread disinformation and a misleading political stage.


Rachel’s journey has been varied and unconventional. She started
as a tabloid journalist, later quitting to pursue different
paths, including teaching in France, running a publishing house
in Eastern Germany, and working in a corporate role. Throughout
her career, she remained focused on communication, education, and
uncovering underlying truths.


Her path led her to develop the Planet Critical podcast, which
evolved into a platform for investigating capitalism and the
climate crisis. Rachel’s work in this area highlighted the
interconnectedness of corrupt politics, financial systems, and
environmental degradation. She rebranded her work to focus on
climate corruption and crisis resolution.


Rachel shares her definition of wealth, discussing how it is
derived from the exploitation of natural abundance. She believes
that wealth transformation is analogous to energy transformation,
emphasizing that power in the world is the capacity to transform
natural abundance into sovereign wealth. Rachel advocates for
rethinking our relationship with natural resources and wealth
creation.


Discussing the concept of a good life, Rachel emphasizes the
importance of being part of a community and ecosystem,
appreciating natural abundance without ownership, and fostering
joy, fearlessness, trust, and protection. She envisions a world
where people are more connected to the life cycles of things they
engage with and are aware of the origins and production of
everyday items.


Rachel critiques the concept of work as a societal scam,
suggesting that communities should focus on providing what they
need rather than laboring for profit. She envisions a future
where communities are self-sufficient, networked, and operate on
natural resource budgets, prioritizing collective well-being over
individual gain.


The conversation delves into governance, where Rachel proposes a
form of anarchy characterized by community sovereignty and
networking. She discusses the need for accountability and the
role of compassion and violence in governance. Rachel emphasizes
the importance of recognizing our full human potential, including
the capacity for violence and goodness.


Rachel discusses the possibility of global solidarity and the
need for the working classes worldwide to recognize their shared
exploitation. She highlights the importance of diverse voices and
perspectives in shaping a more equitable and just world.
