Hi all I was doing some searching on Earth Day, for various reasons, and came upon a bizarre article:
http://snipurl.com/1katk Magic City Morning Star Ira Einhorn, Earth Day's Dirty Secret By Ken Anderson Apr 22, 2006 - 12:01:00 AM It's a brief account of how Einhorn murdered his girlfriend and kept her body in a trunk in his closet for a couple of years and so on until he finally ended up doing life for it. It starts off saying Einhorn was one of the founders of Earth Day. Maybe he was, but a bunch of other founders came out of the woodwork to deny it: http://www.amgot.org/einhorn/eday.htm Earth Day declaration http://www.edfdad.addr.com/NBCkatzman4unicorn.html NBC Perpetuating Ira Einhorn's Lies About Earth Day I don't hold any brief for Earth Day, nor any opposition to it either, it's always been a great opportunity for corporate greenwashing, but it's not only greenwash, it's almost certainly helped more than it's hindered. Anyway, here's the "dirty secret", according to Ken Anderson (I just love the first sentence!): >While it is likely that Einhorn's violent history is not shared by >other Earth Day founders, the observance is nevertheless bizarre. > >Underlying the themes of Earth Day is a call for mankind to align >itself with nature, and against itself, enlisting human beings to >take part in a battle that seeks to place humanity under the control >of an enlightened elite, one that values the interests of nature >above that of people. > >The process of our destruction is termed sustainable development, a >destructive scheme that is in direct opposition to Christianity, >which holds that man is to have dominion over nature, which is given >to us for our use. > >Ira Einhorn took the life of one woman, while the movement that he >had a hand in founding seeks to steal the life from all of us. I think we've thrashed it all out already about Christianity and nature. This toxic view of it is sheer crap, the opposite of the truth, and I find it abhorrent. What else do we find at "Magic City Morning Star": the true "nefarious conspiracy" isn't Earth Day, it's Agenda 21, the Rio Earth Summit document on sustainable development, and behind it the evil UN, a peril to individual liberty and democracy (ie Americans), and especially its even more evil branches UNEP and the IUCN. "The political targets of Sustainable Development include the Magna Carta and the Declaration of Independence. The economic target is free enterprise and the ideals of private property. Justice becomes a fatality of this new order." "Sustainable Development is a pseudonym for centralized control over human life -- sweet words camouflaging tyranny." It's true aim is a revolutionary coup in the US and the end of Americans' "sacred" property rights. (Yes it says "sacred property rights".) Of course they're "pro-life" too (and they'll probably kill anyone who isn't). I guess we all have our fair share of nutters, excepting the US it seems, where nutters abound - these days it'd be easy to believe America's 5% of the world population not only uses 25% of the world's supply of energy but gets to have 25% of all the nutters too. Add a further 25% that gives sheer gullibility a whole new meaning, and they swallow all this crap. And vote accordingly. I mean, how many Americans actually believe - *know* - that they're going to be Raptured on up to Heaven any time now, leaving the rest of us to face a thousand years of death and destruction at the hands of their "God" (who loves us)? (Or was that a thousand-year nuclear winter?) Not nutters? I know logic's not exactly their strong point, but if that's what they know will happen to them why would they think stuff like nature matters at all? Anyway sod America, and anything else with a flag flying over it, Planet Earth just can't afford the luxury of masses of Americans holding such views right now, and the rest them who aren't either nuts or hypnotised don't seem to be doing very much about it.
