The fifth commandment

As in the case of the Unabomber and his “manifesto,” so here: at bottom, the “eco-crime” is the existence of human beings exploiting non-human nature.

I’m wondering how long it’s going to take people to recognize that Ted Kacinski is the patron saint of what is happening now on the “green” front: human beings are evil because their existence disturbs the tranquil balances of the the “natural” (read: non-human) world. Human beings who employ (read: exploit) the resources of the natural world commit eco-crimes. And we all know what should be done with criminals who kill.

The only thing I would require in implementing the obvious program which these “eco-crimes” mongers are peddling is that when the guillotine begins to fall, these scientists be the first to mount the scaffold.

From where I sit, the real issue here is not the environment at all–that is a massive con. The real issue is human hatred of human beings.

We need to “cut to the chase” and get rid of of the whole enviro-scam–it is merely a bait-and-switch diversion. Environmentalists don’t want a living natural world. What they want are dead human beings.

Sounds unlikely and exaggerated? Re-read Wretchard’s essay one more time.
