Deep Ecologists Want To Kill You

Some people see a conspiracy around every corner.

On the other hand, a couple of billion people here, a couple of billion people there, and you could have a very nice, quiet, eminently controllable world, eh?

And just because you're paranoid, naturally, it doesn't mean that someone isn't out to get you. Like Deep Ecology.

The Deep Ecology Movement is looking upon this swine flu thingy as a wondrous opportunity.

To kill you. They're crossing their collective fingers even as I write this.

But, ahem, not them, of course. Oh no! It was, after all, their idea. . .

All of this, naturally, to "get back in tune with Nature" (big "N") and to make man (little "m") more humble, more agrarian, on cultural and philosophical par with nematodes and dirt and flatworms.

Here is Deep Ecology's Platform. Please note point number five:

1) The well-being and flourishing of human and nonhuman life on Earth have value in themselves (synonyms: inherent worth; intrinsic value; inherent value). These values are independent of the usefulness of the nonhuman world for human purposes.

2) Richness and diversity of life forms contribute to the realization of these values and are also values in themselves.

3) Humans have no right to reduce this richness and diversity except to satisfy vital needs.

4) Present human interference with the nonhuman world is excessive, and the situation is rapidly worsening.

5) The flourishing of human life and cultures is compatible with a substantial decrease of the human population. The flourishing of nonhuman life requires such a decrease.

6) Policies must therefore be changed. The changes in policies affect basic economic, technological structures. The resulting state of affairs will be deeply different from the present.

7) The ideological change is mainly that of appreciating life quality (dwelling in situations of inherent worth) rather than adhering to an increasingly higher standard of living. There will be a profound awareness of the difference between big and great.

8) Those who subscribe to the foregoing points have an obligation directly or indirectly to participate in the attempt to implement the necessary changes.

Well, according to point five, our Third and Fourth World darker brethren and sistren will simply have to stop reproducing. It would seem that Caucasoid and Western Cultures are already "cooperating" in this manner (kids are just too untidy and bothersome after all!), but those feckless and pesky brown and black people? Hello? Are you getting the message from Deep Ecology? Heavy sigh . . . apparently not.

I'd love to see this battle fought in public: a select group of primarily blanched elitist ecologists telling only melanin-amped people that they'll simply have to, well, stop fornicating.

I'm sure that'll really play well.

And further, have you heard of the Georgia Guidestones? No? Shucky-darn! Here are their tenets, reproduced just for you:

MAINTAIN HUMANITY UNDER 500,000,000 IN PERPETUAL BALANCE WITH NATURE

(Just kill all the brown people you want, Leftists.)

GUIDE REPRODUCTION WISELY--IMPROVING FITNESS AND DIVERSITY

(Start cloning now! Let's do away with all people opposing our philosophies!)

UNITE HUMANITY WITH A LIVING NEW LANGUAGE

(How about let's start with the global language of success: ENGLISH.)

RULE PASSION--FAITH--TRADITION AND ALL THINGS WITH TEMPERED REASON

(Translated: all hail Wicca and Pagan rites.)

PROTECT PEOPLE AND NATIONS WITH FAIR LAWS AND JUST COURTS

(The UN knows all, the UN sees all; separate national interests are unfair.)

LET ALL NATIONS RULE INTERNALLY RESOLVING EXTERNAL DISPUTES IN A WORLD COURT

(Again: the UN knows all and sees all; small sovereign interests are inherently unfair.)

AVOID PETTY LAWS AND USELESS OFFICIALS

(You know, like the US Constitution, our Bill of Rights, the basic tenets of freedom, Capitalism, Western thought.)

BALANCE PERSONAL RIGHTS WITH SOCIAL DUTIES

(And social duty = opportunity isn't equal; only results are equal.)

PRIZE TRUTH--BEAUTY--LOVE--SEEKING HARMONY WITH THE INFINITE

(And of course everyone on the planet will groove with this philosophy -- right?)

BE NOT A CANCER ON THE EARTH--LEAVE ROOM FOR NATURE--LEAVE ROOM FOR NATURE

(And man is the ultimate cancer.)

Ah yes; and don't forget to floss!

Right after you slit your wrists for Nature.

Hey, Religious Left and Deep Ecologists:

You first.
