I suppose this is akin to Easter Sunday for the Greenies. The Negroes in the US have Martin Luther King Day and now the Eco-zealots have Earth Day. The Patriots and freedom lovers in America have the Fourth of July. Earth Day will have the earth-savers flocking to the alter dedicated to Mother Earth; the age old God, older than all other organized religions put together, and the worship to their Pagan God the earth, with a reverent passion begins. They will pay homage to the God of Plagues (if there is such a thing), and ask that the human race be struck down and eliminated from the planet. Although, it is my understanding from some of the comments I have heard, they will ask to be spared, and that the rest of us will disappear because, we are not true believers in their philosophies. That makes them more worthy I suppose. It somehow reminds me of some of the other organized religions that teach “If you don’t believe in what we believe in you will go to Hell.”
Environmentalists are anti-people. There is no other way to correctly describe them. It is interesting to note the poor people of Asia, Central and South America and also Africa are not worthy to be spared because, they chop down forests, fish the rivers and streams, kill and eat animals, and bring mass environmental destruction to the planet in their daily search of survival, by merely trying to get enough to eat every day. All the while some of the wealthier of the eco-movement will burn ton after ton of jet fuel traveling to exotic vacation getaways, and dine on caviar and lobster, it matters little that much of which they eat, although expensive, are not indigenous to the area where they are at the moment. That translates to mean, they have been imported, and more jet fuels were burned getting them to their table. That’s okay after all, they are more worthy than the rest of the mortal man to everything on this earth. If you listen to some of them carefully, you’ll find that they want to horde it for themselves, and not see the bounties of the earth getting wasted on the little people, who are less deserving than they are. Besides, the ordinary people will just have another baby anyway to perpetuate the cycle.
At the end of the day, they worship at the altar of peace among other topics which can include, ecology, waste not want not, and preach the sermon of too many people or over-population, not enough land to grow food on to feed us all, and all of the minerals and products put on this earth are being used up, and they won’t get the lion’s share for themselves. They are not so tolerant toward anyone who will make any attempt to challenge their religion, as they resort to scare tactics ad infinitum.
In 1955 as I was entering the ninth grade, the Doom Sayers proclaimed nuclear destruction was going to end the earth. Damn! I was just getting started and the world was going to end already. When I finished High School and entered College, most of us were still here and the earth had survived in spite of the predictions. Then we were told the world’s oil supply would be depleted by 2000. Holy cow! I may as well not make any future plans for myself. What’s the use right? Better not buy a car either right? I finished college and decided to serve my country. After all there were bad guys all over the planet and freedom was being threatened. Little did I know that some of the worst and most evil of the enemy were in my own country working behind the scenes, and making every effort to poison the principals it stands for, and usurping not only the proud history, but were changing historical facts to further their agenda.
More threats came along. The environmentalists, the peace protesters and the chemo-phobics came out of the woodwork. When I went overseas there was no birth control pill, One day I returned home and the women were screaming at the top of their lungs for us to make love and not war. That was a day I freely admit I dropped to my knees and gave thanks, for I discovered that on that day there really was a God and my prayers were answered after all I was in my twenties.
The venire that was applied to my mind during High School and College was beginning to peel off. World war Two did not end the world, Korea didn’t, and Vietnam didn’t either. We didn’t run out of oil and the resources were still there and being used up by the millions of tons. So much for the credibility of the predictions from the Doom Sayers!
During World War One and Two, hundreds of ships were sunk by submarines and the oil and fuel aboard spilled over into the world’s oceans. Did someone call for a time out and asked for absurd clean up practices to get started before the war was continued? Did anyone accuse anyone else of pollution? Did anyone declare pollution a criminal act? The wars went on until reaching their respective conclusions, and no one mentioned the oil that washed up on the beaches and after enough time passed, the pollution problem was solved by itself. The earth always heals itself in the end.
Another twenty years passed and I found that the protesters were deeply entrenched in the school systems and I saw the history books being changed or manipulated. Abortion became legal and millions of babies were flushed down toilets as a form of birth control. I looked around and saw the peace movement participants were running the industries and many were fully embedded in politics and public office.
As the politicians changed in character, so did the morals of those around me, and many of the populace found what these people were doing was acceptable. Lying became no big thing to many, even going so far as to being embraced by a large percentage of us, and thefts were swept under the carpet. Illicit sex was condoned, extra-curricular sexual activities by people in high office became if not acceptable, shrugged off as being unimportant to place any significance on. I mean, why worry about it, everyone is doing it was the prevalent philosophy?
I think one of the worst things that happened was, years ago when Communism was the most vile and detrimental of the political philosophies, and people were being warned about it, it became dovetailed into the American way of life under different names, but embraced by hundreds of thousands. Treason was perpetrated by people of influence and few if any were prosecuted for the most heinous of crimes, the crimes committed against ones country was appalling. I recall Comrade Khrushchev bragged when he took his shoe off, pounded the podium with it at the UN and told us, “We are going to bury you and we aren’t going to have to fire a shot to do it.” He was right and people like Joseph McCarthy were right too. We should have been paying more attention.
The results are staggering in terms of the damage that has been caused by the people who are anti this, and anti that. Millions have died as a direct result of deaths by Malaria and Typhus as only two cited evils perpetrate by the “antis”. This is death that is akin to bone breaking misery, and can’t even begin to be described in terms of how much agony people have to endure for lengthy periods of time until, mercifully, they finally die. This is a direct result of DDT being removed from the market place as widespread hysteria enveloped people due to lies that were spread through disinformation. Lies based on nothing more than just half truths, innuendoes and of course just outright lies. Another mass killing worthy of mention is the countless millions of unborn children who have been killed before they had the opportunity to live outside of the womb.
Untold millions have been indoctrinated in the Liberal run school systems, and some graduate from High School today and can’t spell their own names, punctuate a simple letter or have a rudimentary knowledge of math or chemistry. The same goes for history. There are people who have graduated from college and believe Costa Rica is an island in the Caribbean.
Diversity has engendered a hatred of the US by many of its residents. They refuse to learn English they embrace their homelands and its culture and mores. Yet all the time sucking out the lifeblood of every social service in the country, and what is staggering beyond belief, there are whole cities breaking Federal Law and embracing the scofflaws to do just those very things.
There are politicians who encourage people to vote for them to get more freebies from the public troughs. They pass laws that if not outright anti-constitutional they skirt around it pretty closely. Mexico tells the US it wants to be a friend and yet offers packets of literature to the border jumping criminals on “How to get into the US illegally.” They do that because they don’t have the jobs or the economy to support their own people. If one reads Mexico’s immigration laws you’ll find that they aren’t so friendly as they seem to think the US Immigration should be.
Recently when the US, Canada and Mexico had a meeting in Texas, one of the Mexican delegation stole several Blackberries and when the Secret Service caught up with him at the airport, he first denied taking them, he was shown videos of him doing it, he gave them back, explaining it was a mistake and then claimed Diplomatic Immunity.
Diversity was invented by liberals and has engendered the words in front of every race such as African-American and Mexican-American. When I was in High School and college it was simply American period. I don’t recall anyone being a hyphenated anything. This slicing America up into segments by people who came to the US for a better life is dooming the US. It has caused dissension, a pride in other countries not the US and it is dividing the US with petty jealousies, and by separating the very people who used to make up the melting pot.
It is known an infamous college Professor was a violent American Terrorist during the sixties and seventies who admits to numerous bombings of public property he committed and is today a respected tenured College Professor along with his wife and they both proudly proclaim they “Wished they had done more.” They are unrepentant and thrive on teaching young college students about their hate for America. There are others in the teaching profession who are filled by one agenda after another which does not advocate equality, but engenders planned divisiveness in a curriculum filled with teachings from radical political manuscripts such as the Communist Manifesto. Communism does not work and the great USSR fell as a testament to that fact.
Another lie laced book pushed by the left is a book by a chemo-phobe, her name was Rachael Carson. She wrote Silent Spring. Statements made in Silent Spring have been studied and many true scientists have concluded that Rachael lied through her teeth throughout the book to further push her personal agenda. There’s nothing new about that. People do it all the time. People lie and they keep their fingers crossed no one is going to catch on. When they do get caught lying, they go on to something new. People forget eventually but not all of us.
The environmental mindsets have harbored a multitude of anti-people agendas. They collect millions in donations from gullible people and they continue to spread lies about every conceivable subject matter. When they are caught in a lie, they shift and go on to the next set of untruths, and never explain to anyone why they told the initial lies in the first place. They rob public coffers from assets that could be used to build schools or playgrounds, or any of dozens of public works projects when they file frivolous lawsuits, that are designed for one purpose, and that is to bankrupt cities or states and especially the Federal Government, at the very least, to divert funds from public coffers so that governments have to hire legal expertise thereby draining resources. This is all done in the name of environmentalism and saving the planet regardless of the damage that gets done.
There are billions of gallons of untapped oil under the Tundra in Alaska and yet the greens want to have that vast area declared a protected environmental zone. Protected from what? The bears and other wildlife have no problem getting past the pipeline in place. It is just another tactic to deny people the access to the resources of the earth to suit their twisted agenda.
The lies and the inflated so called facts remind me of the tactics used by those who would deny people of their second amendment rights guaranteed by the Constitution for Gun Ownership. They proclaim hundreds of thousand of children are killed every year by guns and yet FBI figures say less than a thousand suffer this fate. Nobody checks, nobody verifies and the numbers the radicals come up with are usually bogus. Every now and then even after the numbers have been proven to be false, someone will still cite the erroneous information on occasion, once said, always there, and still a lie.
As Costa Rica irons out the wrinkles of their environmental disasters in Guanacaste on the Pacific Coast I see that the final bills for the mistakes made there will in all probability be thrust on the shoulders of the taxpayers. I have yet to read anywhere how any environmental group is going to shell out millions of dollars to fix anything. Has the Sierra Club donated manual labor or money? What about the Green Peace organization? What will happen in all likelihood is that Costa Rica will send someone out into the world with their hat in their hand and try to entice some rich country into footing the bill for the cleanup. The environmental groups will collect another billion in donations, and the board of directors of those groups will make another trip to Aspen to ski next winter, or travel to the Swiss Alps. They will smile because they have pulled off the perfect scam another year as the people continue to buy into their new religion.
The minions, those believers in the cause will continue to mouth the words of the new religion of environmentalism and thrown themselves on the alter of the Mother Earth on that reverent event called Earth Day. I wonder when the people who are buying into this will finally figure it out? I suppose after they have lived another forty or so years and they finally open their eye and see the handwriting on the wall, but it may be too late by then. Take a look at the damage that has ensued because of the lies. Poorly educated youth, the loss of freedom in the US and what is left of the industrialized world as it is saddled down with debt that will bankrupt entire countries chasing the elusive ghost of Global Warming or whatever the next coined doomsday phrase will be.
