Plenty of cults exist - every cult has its 'religious dogma', its idols, its 'prophets', its 'science', its 'proof' and its intolerant liturgy of demands. Cults everywhere: Corona, 'The Science' or Scientism, Islam, the State, the cult of Gender Fascism, Marxism, Darwin and Evolution, Globaloneywarming, Changing Climate, Abortion...
Tempus Fugit Memento Mori - Time Flies Remember Death
Book Review: 'The Really Inconvenient Truths', by Iain Murray.
A great read on how the eco-fascists are making the environment WORSE. [oh no, to the re-education camp with you!]
by AN
It is the zeitgeist of the dumbed down popular culture that eco-fascists make the world a cleaner, greener place. Without the interventions of the granola bar eating; recycled obsessed, holier than jesus eco crowd, the world would be a large garbage dump. Without the tears and passion of the L. Ron Gore cult, the polar bear-lovers, and the dissenting protesters who rage against the capitalist machine, the world would ressemble a Stanley Kubrick film. Well well well. In actuality it is the market, technology and wealth which makes the world a cleaner, greener and better place [even for those fun loving polar bears]. The eco-freaks make a lot of things worse.
Murray's book is humorous and full of fact. In the age of Oprah and Hussein Obama, facts we realise are optional – but Murray lays out a compelling case as to why the eco-fascists are not only liars and scatalogical shamans, but why they are actually dangerous for the environment. Murray will most likely be tried for heresy and condemned by a Human rights council to a re-education camp for presenting and defending the following viewpoints - but his book is still worth reading [yes you will be committing a thought crime by reading this !]:
1) L. Ron Gore's policies on globaloney warming would make the world worse off environmentally. How ? By making the world poorer. As Murray writes, 'Yet precisely because the policies limit economic growth and impede development, they would come at a high cost...$44 Trillion worth of damage from the combination of residual warming and Al Gore's self-inflicted economic wounds...twice the cost of 'unchecked global warming.'
Notice to eco-fascists – the poorest states are the worse environmental offenders. Beyond GDP of about $8000 per capita, wealth is redirected towards the environment. This is a historical economic and social fact.
So let's see – we do nothing about globaloney warming, grow the economy, become wealthier and improve the environment. Or we can destroy our economy, wipe out jobs, not impact the climate one iota, and be $44 Trillion poorer.......tough choice [painful face, crossed eyes and head scratching].
2) Malaria. Thanks to the eco-fascists about 1 million people die each year in Africa from a lack of DDT spraying and pesticide use. DDT kills the bacillus-carrying mosquitoe which injects humans with malaria. As Murray writes, 'Across Uganda 50.000 children died from malaria [in 2005]. The same is true year after year.'
But don't worry, the eco-fascist cult is the morally superior organisation of human hopes and ethics. African dead ? Who cares they say – mother earth cannot sustain DDT! [but please we have a moral duty to Africa to send foreign aid and immediately cancel foreign debts.......]
3) Ethanol. Pouring corn alcohol – or moonshine [yee-haw] -- into a car is a major and obvious sign of stupidity. Ethanol for autos is a dirty, inefficient, and a monstrously unproductive method to fuel a combustion engine. It just also happens to displace food production, raise food prices and by extension kill poor people across the globe [but don't worry the eco-fascists are the caring, moral group]. It is also heavily subsidised [why do the eco-marxists support capitalist subsidies for huge agribusinesses ?].
And as Murray writes, the rush to corn based fuel is destroying the environment and endangering noble species in the US and elsewhere; 'The new rush for biodiesel is causing a massive land rush in Sumatra and Borneo, the main islands of Indonesia. Is this ravenous capitalism at work? Hardly. On both the supply side and the demand side of the palm oil crisis, the culprit is state control of the economy.' The result – 10.000 dead Orangutangs – a peaceful and intelligent human-like creature. But don't worry the eco-freaks are very very concerned about preserving species!
The Orangutan is only one example of the state using subsidized money to wipe out wildlife in the mad rush to pour moonshine or some derivative thereof into a combustion engine. As Murray points out, corn juice will have no impact whatsoever on total US gasoline demand; 'Yet according to the University of Minnesota, if all of that corn [US produces 50% of the world's corn] were converted to ethanol, it would displace only about 12 percent of the national demand for gasoline.'
12 % ? Are you kidding. The eco-fascists want to wipe out ½ of the world's corn supply to replace 12% of gasoline usage?
Are they completely stupid?
4) The Gaia cult. This mandates that humans should be sacrificed to appease mother earth. In the good old days of anicent Carthage or during the Mayan period, humans were sacrificed and their blood spilled to ingratiate the cult with the earth goddess. Today the body sacrifice is to be completed through economic suffering. As Murray says, 'Propitiation of Gaia comes not in the form of libations or human sacrifices, but in the form of economic sacrifices performed out of fear of a non-human entity.'
It is a cult of irrationality and paganism. Christian tenets are to be replaced by 20.000 year old pagan rites. Traversing back into the pagan past is not productive, not progressive and certainly not intelligent. The Gaia cult is anti-human – the earth mom is to be elevated over the human and the human to be sacrificed.
This anti-humanist philosophy is the failed ethos of failed empires ranging from the Incan to the primitive groupings of central Asia and Africa. It leads to eco-fascist calls by Al Gore et al to limit human numbers and if need be, use state power to enforce sterility and even famines. Some eco-freaks want the human race reduced by 75%. But don't worry these eco-fascists are the paragons of morality and love – or so they keep screaming.
5) Government created disasters
Usually the media and educational systems portray all eco disasters as a failure of the market, or the result of capitalism, or the by product of the white-Jew lust for total world power and control. The reality is different. Murray outlines some prominent government created disasters in which government policy is to blame. Burning rivers, Yellowstone park going up in flames, forest fires, oceanic degradation and what is called 'the tragedy of the commons', are never highlighted in the popular culture as state created failures.
For example, as Murray points out, 'We see this in the realm of deep sea fishing. With a common-owned fishing stock, no individual fisherman has any incentive to stop fishing. If he doesn't take more fish, someone else will, and so the next time he comes back, there will be fewer fish to take....What is missing in the commons is a positive incentive for good managment.'
Indeed – and a positive incentive comes from private property ownership. You want a more natural world, cleaner lakes, and more fish? Privatise natural resources, privatise water systems, privatise species protection and develop property rights for the world's oceans. That is how you will do it.
Governments destroy not create
A corollary of the retarded progress favored by the eco-fascist cult is of course an environment which is worse off. Pagan societies were not neolithic paradises of nature-man loving and interaction. Widespread natural destruction as evidenced in Gibson's film 'Apocalypto' was common. Only today with wealth and technology can we take better care of the earth goddess.
To create wealth we need private property rights. Private property incentives are already in fact doing wonders to help restore the environment. In Africa and elsewhere private property reserves are restoring species. In Israel private parks have reintroduced animal life mentioned in the bible, but long since absent from the region. Private parks and forests in the US do not suffer from state owned disasters such as forest fires [since private owners have an incentive to clean and clear their forest plots].
The absurd idea that the eco-fascist cult, which hates humans, distorts markets, kills off food supply and species, and sparks natural disasters through governmental mismanagement and wealth destruction is somehow 'moral', 'concerned' or superior is one of history's most ridiculous lies. Murray's book is a good read and set of rebuttals for those who are tired of L. Ron Gore, the media, and the eco-freaks. The state is the problem, not the solution and this applies not only to markets, but to the environment.
The sooner we rid ourselves of the collective marxist madness of the eco-cult, the better.
