The utter desperation of the Greens can be seen in the latest report from the World Wildlife Fund claiming that the Earth’s population will have to colonize two planets within fifty years because ours is running out of the capacity to meet the needs of our six billion inhabitants.
This is such utter nonsense one assumes that any reasonably intelligent person would dismiss it outright. Worse, it is a deliberate lie and its perpetrators callously know that what they want to achieve are the headlines it will generate in the media whose predilection for scare campaigns is an offense to the standards of journalism. In a society and world where most lack a sufficient knowledge of science, such scare campaigns have thrived for decades.
Since the 1970s, however, the Greens have advanced their agendas by issuing reports like this. In August, ten years after the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit, they will gather in Johannesburg, South Africa to once again foist their lies upon a world that has real problems. They are utterly relentless! The original conference in Rio de Janeiro introduced the concepts of "sustainable development" and the "Precautionary Principle", both lacking any merit and both designed to turn back progress and its benefits.
Here is just one example why the report’s lies should be dismissed. Apparently its authors did not read the September 11, 1998 issue of Earth Times, a Green newspaper, that published the following facts: "The earth produces enough grain to provide every person worldwide with 3,500 calories a day. Taking into consideration all foods, including meats and fish, fruits and root crops, the world produces at least 4.3 pounds of food per person per day." What a difference a four years make!
According to the WWF report "consumption rates" are so great that the seas will become emptied of fish. Other outrageous claims include the end of freshwater supplies and massive deforestation.
In 1968, Dr. Paul Erhlich published "The Population Bomb", predicting massive famines in the 1970s. The book became a bestseller, but his predictions have all since been proven baseless. There is not one wit of difference between Erhlich’s claims then and those of the World Wildlife Fund today. They exist solely as Green propaganda. Indeed, many mark the beginning of the Green movement with the publication of Rachel Carson’s "Silent Spring", a book whose claims have long since failed the test of time, but which succeeded in condemning millions to a needless death from malaria because her book led to the banning of DDT.
There is no other word than "evil" to describe such boldfaced lies, such contempt for the unwary audience of the World Wildlife Fund report, and the malignant public relations campaign to generate momentum for the forthcoming UN Earth Summit + Ten meeting in August.
Underlying the report and the UN conference is the central agenda of the Greens, the quest for power over everyone’s life, the destruction of Western industrialized nations, and of Capitalism, the economic system that has provided the technological advances that have benefited mankind in the past century and will sustain it for centuries to come.
Avoid the impulse to laugh at the WWF report. Instead, remember that those who wrote it and the people who will gather at the August UN conference think there are too many people, other than themselves, on planet Earth. They will continue to perpetrate their lies and their crimes against mankind and they will call it environmentalism.
Food shortages, example Zim, are due to other factors, not a worldwide shortage at all, but due to local political problems and distribution problems.
We're not going to need two more planets, although we ought to get back to the moon and go on to Mars for scientific reasons at least.
Good stuff! An angle the author misses relates to political power, which I will carry forward if I may be so bold.
Prosperity and freedom are synonyms. That is the Great Truth with which the socialist enslavers are endlessly at war. The more freedom people have, the greater their productivity. Always poverty is suffered by oppressed peoples, but rather than championing the cause of freeing the enslaved, the socialist "hive minds" find the cause of enslaving the free more compelling.
As the freest nation of Earth, America is also the benefactor of the oppressed the world over. Far from being grateful, the impoverished of the world seek to remain in their resposibility-free cocoons of chain, and seek with bitter hate to have America join them in bondage.
Why liberals in America, themselves among the most affluent human beings in planetary history, despise their own freedom and the prosperity it produces, is an enduring mystery.
Suffice it to say that leftists abhor the truth, hate freedom, despise the health of society, and reject honest science and millenia of societal evolution as if deviancy were an ideal to strive for.
I wholeheartedly agree. Reminds me of what the late, semi-famous author Louis Bromfield wrote in his Pleasant Valley series.
Here's a Bromfield link, for what it's worth. Click here
"Don't make me angry, Mr. McGee...you wouldn't LIKE me when I'm angry..."
Well, I had been in favor of defunding and privatizing NASA.
But if our situation is this dire, I suppose we should bolster NASA's budget by eliminating the EPA.
I like to read stuff like this because even normal sheeple will be able to see that these people are hysterical idiots. I love it that they're now sounding more like themselves instead of being able to sound sane and reasonable because the media and the Ex-VP is in your pocket.
Did anyone notice how Gore came out a few weeks ago and tipped his toe into the political arena again? He didn't have one positive thing to say about what he would do he just uttered a screed on the President and his cabinet and his party. OOOh the good old days when Fox News didn't exist, CNN gave all the liberal news with all the liberal spin all the time and Clinton was screwing the country taking kick backs from anyone and everyone for his own aggrandizement and pleasure.
Liberal Dimocrats and enviros and animal whackos and Feminazis have tried to ruin the US and turn it into a third world quagmire so that they could feel superior and have more power and money.
