The High Holy Heathen Holiday

I have not inserted "heathen" in the title just to make the alliteration cute. Without wishing to denigrate or promote any religion, let me state a simple, non-religious fact: in questions of morality and ethics, Western civilization is essentially based on the outlook of the Old and New Testaments. But the fundamen-tal outlook of the environmental impostors, well visible under a thin veil of lip service to humanity, is opposed to that morality.

The very first chapter of the Old Testament asserts man's mis-sion with a few words, every one of which opposes what Earth Day will urge and celebrate: "Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth." Add to this the prohibitions of killing, stealing, bearing false witness and coveting one's neighbor's belongings, and you have a pretty good summary of the ethics that Western civilization is founded on.

While Europeans (and later Americans) cleared the forests to make room for agriculture to "replenish the earth," the societies of other continents remained stunted by sacred cows and sacrifi-cial rites to appease nature. Nor was their ethic Western: many Eastern societies, like the "ecoteurs," place little value on human life; like the Green parties, they regard outsmarting an adversary by a lie as a clever accomplishment, and like the income redis-tributors allied with the Earth Day pagans, they do not vehe-mently oppose stealing, because they regard property as something tainted with sin. In every respect, the Holy Church of Watermelons [AtE Feb 90] is a truly pagan priesthood; and like their allies, the feminists, income redistributors, "life-stylers," population controllers, affirmative racists, and weakness wor-shipers, they are covertly, but implacably opposed to everything the Western World was built on.

Why then, is this reactionary cult in ascendancy? Why will every pol from the US President down shout "Me too!" as he dances in the sacrificial rites of Earth Day?

Because like the Nazis and Communists before them, the Holy Church of Watermelons has no effective opposition. Not only do they dominate the source of political power, the media, but many conservatives and libertarians are now joining the band wagon. The most important reason for this development is sheer ignorance. They really believe that nuclear wastes cannot be safely disposed of, that the US has a serious air pollution prob-lem, that it is threatened by overpopulation, that acid rain is causing extensive damage, that the ozone layer is in danger, that global warming is underway, and a hundred other hunches or outright superstitions.

Unlike these conservatives and libertarians who preach that they have a better way to protect you from the evil gnomes, this newsletter will continue to show that there are no evil gnomes.
