Green Day

Alan Caruba is certainly opinionated when it comes to the Greens.

Not a day passes when I don’t receive a book or read a news story filled with Green gobbledygook, the deliberately obscure language Greens use to hide their true agenda. The Green revolution is based on the techniques of the Communist revolution. It infiltrates organizations in order to take them over and it smothers the media with its profusion of lies in order to influence public opinion and policy. The Greens are patient, knowing that a lie told over and over again becomes the "truth" if not debunked over and over again.

He reviews a book called, The Web of Life Imperative: Regenerative Ecopsychology Techniques that Help People Think in Balance with Natural Systems. [That's the real title. No, really, it is.]
What struck me immediately—and no doubt yourself—is the use of verbiage to give the appearance of serious intellectual content, but which reveals only the pure invention of something called "ecopsychology." This is absurd pseudo-science, if in fact, psychology can be considered science despite its use of statistical information and endless "studies."

He debunks many of the good-sounding statements from the book.
This psychobabble book purports to respond to "the dire problems that arise because people in contemporary society live extremely nature-separated lives." This is hogwash! Anyone who has spent any time in the "great outdoors" knows that it is not a friendly place for humans. There are no supermarkets filled with a largesse of food in Nature. There are no places fit for habitation in Nature unless you pitch a tent, build a lean-to or find a cave. Nature does not provide clean water from the tap with a flick of the wrist. Nature offers merciless cold or heat.

The rise of civilization has been man’s triumph over Nature. It was the invention of agriculture, barely five thousand years or so ago, that provided food and permitted the rise of towns and then cities, freeing men to become artisans and craftsmen.

Here's another.
"Like a benighted cancer, we overrun, pollute and destroy natural systems in people and places while fully knowledgeable that these systems are life and support our life. Such behavior is a form of madness." For the record, barely 3% to 5% of the landmass of the United States of America involves cities, towns, highways, railroads and airports. The vast bulk of our population lives within fifty miles of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

The Greens regard the human species as a form of "cancer" on the Earth. We are said to be bent on the destruction of the Earth as we go about finding new ways (biotechnology) to abundantly feed the billions who would otherwise starve to death. We have eradicated diseases that threatened millions with needless death. We are threatened by other diseases because the Greens have systematically banned essential and beneficial pesticides to suppress insect and rodent pest populations.

We humans know how to grow and manage forests. We know how to ranch and farm. We know how to build systems to provide clean water to drink and irrigation for our farms. We know how to generate life-enhancing energy to light, heat, cool, and power our homes. We know how to provide medicines to protect and extend our lives. We know how to criss-cross the Earth in hours and days. We can communicate with each other as no previous generation ever could.

Sifting out the hidden agenda...
"In our denial, we learn to offer ‘progress’, ‘God’s will’ and ‘economic growth’ as rationale for our injurious effects."

There it is. The bottom line. Greens hate progress if it means a better life for everyone on Earth. The Greens worship Gaia, the pagan Earth goddess, not the universal God of mankind. And the Greens do everything they can to destroy economic growth and the spread of prosperity anywhere on the face of the Earth.

The real threat to our lives are the Greens. There are other threats, but this evil anti-progress, anti-capitalist, anti-energy, anti-science, anti-God movement is the real cancer that seeks victory through its twisted belief that the only thing that matters is "Nature." Man is part of Nature and what matters most is each new child born today, bringing with them the hope of a better world for future generations.

Amen.
