City of London demands more war and terror to save nature

They said it: The mass death and destruction of war is great for nature conservation, enthused the City of London’s house organ The Economist magazine in its latest edition.

Under the title: “Biodiversity down the barrel of a gun”, The Economist “Green.view” column on 8th February, praises war and terror, and genocide generally, as the best ways to preserve the environment.

The Economist concludes, “The nasty truth is that the likelihood of random and violent death is the cheapest form of conservation yet invented”, following a list of examples where war has depopulated humans and spontaneous or “involuntary” nature parks have filled the void:

“[T]here are still ‘involuntary parks’, to borrow a phrase from the writer and futurist Bruce Sterling, that serve to illustrate just how spectacularly well nature can do when humans are removed from the equation. … The demilitarised zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea is a good example. … a de facto nature reserve. As agriculture and industrialisation have moved ahead elsewhere, the thousand-square-kilometre DMZ, uninhabited and heavily mined, has been a refuge for two endangered birds: the white-naped and the red-crowned crane. It also contains Asiatic black bears, egrets and, according to some, an extremely rare subspecies of the Siberian tiger. The biggest threat to all this biodiversity is probably peace.” [emphasis added]

Other examples of imperial success: “The Chagos Islands of the Indian Ocean are a military zone, too. The locals were forcibly removed by the British government, starting in the late 1960s, to make way for an American base on Diego Garcia … The displaced islanders, however, plan to return one day, and if they do they will want to start fishing and building hotels and even an airport. Only military dominion keeps such activity at bay.”

And further: “[T]he sea off Kenya’s northern coast currently has a profusion of fish because Somali pirates are keeping out all the big foreign fishing boats.”

And more: “Perhaps the most famous of the Earth’s involuntary parks is the evacuated area around Chernobyl, in Ukraine, where the burgeoning wildlife has been little affected by the risks of radiation.”

And, in language that would do Bertrand Russell proud*: “It is depopulation that matters. Armed conflict and its knock-on effects simply happen to be one of the few forces on the planet that can cause quick and thorough depopulation. These areas struggle to survive when peace arrives. The nasty truth is that the likelihood of random and violent death is the cheapest form of conservation yet invented.” [emphasis added]

Today, Citizens Electoral Council leader Craig Isherwood slammed The Economist for advocating genocide:

“This is the logic of green genocide, and anyone who tries to justify it is an apologist for mass murder,” he stated.

“The economist is owned by the doyens of the City of London, the Rothschild banking family, and it is continuing the 200-year advocacy of genocide by the City of London and the British oligarchy going back to the East India Company and their evil scribe Thomas Malthus.”

Mr Isherwood addressed his comments to the people:

“Did you get sucked in by it? Did you fall so hard for greenie propaganda like human overpopulation that you thought The Economist may have a good point? Are you still willing to look the other way, knowing that the British financial oligarchy is happily killing people in the name of greenie causes that you support? If so, you too are a genocidalist, and, a total patsy for powerful financiers with a born-to-rule psychosis who will just as happily knock you off too.”

He concluded, “To borrow a phrase from our lying PM, this question of green genocide against human beings is the great moral issue of our times—I call on all Australians to join the fight led by the CEC in Australia, and Lyndon LaRouche globally, to defeat it once and for all, and put the world back on the path to an optimistic future through economic development, science and technology, driven by the innate creativity of human beings.”

*Lord Bertrand Russell on human depopulation: “War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars. … War … has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove more effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. … The state of affairs might be somewhat unpleasant, but what of that? Really high-minded people are indifferent to happiness, especially other people’s.”—The Impact of Science on Society, 1951.
