Homemade soy milk (that is made from beans that you cook, puree and strain) does NOT contain isolated soy protein. However, it does contain naturally occurring soy protein that has never been separated from the soy beans.
Isolated soy protein is just like its names says -- ONLY the protein isolated or removed from the soy bean and NOTHING else. Home made soy milk contains naturally occurring carbs, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytochemicals, etc. -- and NONE of these have been sepatated from the beans and then mixed back together to make soy milk.
BUT you should be aware that isolated soy protein (and sometimes "free" oil) is in some brands of soy milk -- but NOT in all. Just read the labels very carefully if you purchase any ready-made soy milk.

I believe we McDougallers can have a loud enough voice to influence enough people to cut back on livestock consumption/farming that we CAN have a positive impact on global warming -- if we REALLY try!
