Back then and before I ever got in the game, guys like Rick Sieman had been active for yeaars trying to get people to even accept these groups existed. And most people refused to believe it. They were determined to believe that the Greenies were just misguided bunny huggers and college kids looking to have a cause.
Very few saw them for what they were. The Dave Foremans, the Dave Wheelers, the Rod Coronados were all just thought od as no big deal.
I would highly people bone up on Agenda 21 and the subsection known as “The Wildlands Project. This official part of the Official UN agenda calls for a total population of the US of under 500,000 people. It is not a joke. It is Policy.
For people that think it’s a joke, read the WP , look at their maps and then overlay them with current land use closures. They are implementing it. Fully. And the timetable in now under 60 years IIRC.
Now ask yourself how exactly you reduce the American population to under 500K without disease, starvation or global war.
"A common enemy to unite us"
....Around the same time, influential anthropologist and president of the American Medical Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), Margaret Mead, gathered together like-minded anti-population hoaxsters at her 1975, North Carolina conference, “The Atmosphere: Endangered and Endangering”. Mead’s star recruits were climate scare artist Stephen Schneider, population-freak George Woodwell and former AAAS head, John Holdren (currently President Barack Obama’s Science and Technology Czar). All three of them disciples of Malthusian catastrophist Paul Ehrlich, author of the “The Population Bomb”.
