Art is one of the precious fruits of our civilization…
Those who choose to burn, destroy, or otherwise deface art are some of the worst among us and they are in the worst sort of company: Hitler, the Taliban, and Stalin—just to name a few.
Yet this is what the far-left, eco-terrorist group known as “Just Stop Oil” is doing.
Just Stop Oil has previously made headlines for defacing a Van Gogh painting and they have struck again, this time attempting to deface “The Girl with a Pearl Earring” a 17th-century painting by Johannes Vermeer:

Paul Joseph Watson pointed out the obvious hypocrisy of the group, calling them the “ultimate creature of the establishment” and highlighted their technocratic ties:
Just Stop Oil, an offshoot of Extinction Rebellion, is literally funded by billionaires.
They’re shock troops for globalist technocrats pushing for the same ‘net zero’ agenda.
They’re the ultimate creature of the establishment.https://t.co/OT9qVlkcpc

Here's Just Stop Oil themselves pointing out how the police do NOTHING to stop them. AWOL.
If this was anti-vaccine mandate protesters, they'd send in the riot cops.
Just Stop Oil is protected by the establishment. https://t.co/si7JlaOLlj

People Magazine reports via Yahoo News:
According to the museum, one person glued their head to the glazing that protects the 17th-century painting created by Johannes Vermeer, while another glued their hand to the green wall next to the artwork.
The museum reported that a red liquid was also thrown during the attack, but the painting did not appear to be damaged.
The museum announced that “The Girl with a Pearl Earring” will be back on view as soon as possible, while the room the painting is housed in will remain closed to the public.
What on earth are the police doing here? #JustStopHelping #JustStopOil https://t.co/mpNuTDPbmw

Others took the chance to explain that virtually everything the protestors were wearing and using was made using oil and oil derivative products:
JUST STOP OIL 🤡
Backpack – mass produced from nylon, made from oil
Leggings – mass produced from nylon, made from oil
Shoes – mass produced from plastic, made from oil
Paint sprayer – mass produced in China using oil
Paint – gloss, made using oil.

Standard.UK featured this piece on the group’s other acts of vandalism:
Just Stop Oil activists clashed with tourists with one lady carrying luggage being cheered as she dragged their sign out of their hands outside The Ritz hotel at 1pm on Wednesday.
It came after footage appeared to show an angry taxi driver and others trying in vain to drag the activists out of the road. The protesters go limp and then quickly moved back into position in the middle of Piccadilly.
Just Stop Oil defended their law-breaking protest tactics as it also continued its month-long action by targeting luxury car showrooms in Mayfair.
