![]() The basic tenets of conservationism were sound before it was turned into a rabid fundamentalist religion. Everyone wants clean air, water and good food and that has nothing to do with governments or its policies. Most people believed in a common sense approach when it came to their world until the beginnings of the industrial revolution. There were many who believed that the world was developing too quickly, having too many children and the earth resources would dry up completely. It was a craze like no other. In the late 1960’s and early 70’s that craze turned into a mass consciousness called environmentalism. This was radically different from previous efforts. Environmentalism unleashed upon the populace a mass hysteria and had its leaders demanding the governments of the world initiate policies to correct the damage that was done. This craze was furthered by drawing upon legitimate grass roots issues like pollution. They cast a very wide net in their attempts and later would ‘come up with the idea’ of global cooling, global warming and later climate change which of course covers all the bases so that they wouldn’t be proved wrong. “To summarize the Malthusian doctrine, there can never be more people than there is food for. There will not be less, because man, like every other animal, tends to increase in numbers... The straightforward way of striking the balance is nature's method of creating an excess and then killing it off by plague or starvation. Malthus himself, and other more recent writers also, have attempted to propose solutions which should allow us to escape from this threat, but nobody has found one which is at all convincing. –Charles Galton Darwin(The Next Million Years)”Environmentalism spread like wildfire but behind the scenes there were think tanks such as the Club of Rome, Sierra Club and the World Resources Institute which turned environmentalism on its head and decided that mankind[1] itself is the problem. This brings us back to Thomas Malthus who spoke of limits of growth[2], eugenics, and depopulation.[3] If mankind is the problem what is the solution? Of course it is not all humanity that will suffer just the uncivilized proletariat; the intellectuals must survive to fulfill their goals. Now, knowing that these ideas are not new what policies do we see today that are in line with their project? “In Nature organic growth proceeds according to a Master Plan, a Blueprint. According to this master plan diversification among cells is determined by the requirements of the various organs; the size and shape of the organs and, therefore, their growth processes are determined by their function, which in turn depends on the needs of the whole organism. Such a ‘master plan’ is missing from the process of growth and development of the world system. Now is the time to draw up a master plan for organic sustainable growth and world development based on global allocation of all finite resources and a new global economic system” –Club Of Rome(Mankind At The Turning Point)The truth is that most environmentalists do not understand the nomenclature, the history or the real architects behind their cause. It sounds good, feels good and they see that it is something that they can take pride in. The upper echelon engineers of the environmental movement have created their own language which seems fairly innocuous but serves a purpose in its different byzantine meanings. The words Sustainable Development comes to mind. A house is a sustainable development as it sustains life and keeps us from the elements but they have their own ideas of what sustainable really is. On a rudimentary level sustainable means rigidly earth friendly. Living in rural areas is not earth friendly, they want every last one of us living in high rise urban slums so that the animals can roam freely without being disturbed by ‘humanity’. “Civilization has taught man how to live in dense crowds, and by that very fact those crowds are likely ultimately to constitute a majority of the world’s population. Already there are many who prefer this crowded life, but there are others who do not, and these will be gradually eliminated. Life in the crowded condition of cities has many unattractive features, but in the long run these may be overcome, not so much by altering them, but simply by changing the human race into liking them.” –Charles Galton Darwin(The Next Million Years)It isn’t by surprise that [4]rural areas are turning into ghost towns due to the structure of the new superhighways and many cities are being destroyed because we have to ‘shrink to survive’.[5] Citizens are easily manageable when they live in gated urban dwellings. The cities are being designed[6] in order so that there is no need to own your own car which is based on the European Model[7]. I am sure you will be happy reducing your carbon[8] footprint while living in a capsule. "A massive campaign must be launched to de-develop the United States. De-development means bringing our economic system into line with the realities of ecology and the world resource situation." –Paul EhrlickIt isn’t enough for the elite that you live and work in a cubicle; they want to control your usage of water, electricity, food and more. That is where the grid[9] comes in, the smart grid technology. The smart grid system[10] plans to control all of your utilities and monitor[11] their usage against the ‘sustainable’ projections to determine if you or your family is a net consumer or producer. This is the scientific dictatorship at work. Prepare yourself for peak usage[12] and heavy tax and fees for power users and perks for those who recycle and play by the new rules. The smart grid is an integrated system which goes hand in hand with cell technology so I am sure that your vehicle mileage and condition will come in to play as well. "We need to get some broad based support, to capture the public's imagination...So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements and make little mention of any doubts...Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest." –Stephen SchniederBefore I am summarily lynched with hemp rope by zealots with a cause, I want to say that I think there can be sound common sense policies to protect the environment. We want the best for our world. There is nothing stopping us from doing our part to keep our cities from turning into corporate landfills. Don’t worry about the world just yet, focus on your own town and move outward. Sustainable development and freedom cannot coexist. How dare you deny us of our right to pursue our own happiness. You cannot pursue happiness working four jobs to put food on the table and you cannot pursue happiness when these unelected sycophants decide that you can’t live as you see fit. Draw your line in the sand or it will be drawn for you by someone you’ve never met. Michael Vail [email protected] 1 [George Ball.
