Actually, the anti-human bit is probably quite a driver and highly dangerous to us all despite the apparent lunacy of the proponents.
It wouldn't matter if some of these people spouting this nonsense were in mental homes or, at the very worst, simply spouting off in their local pub after a pint or two.
The problem is:
a) there is no doubt this is a core belief for these people
b) these people have managed to reach highly influential positions largely out of the spotlight.
They are very much anti-human, it seems.
AGW was the scam by which they were going to achieve their goals. AGW is passe now. WE are even beyond abrupt climate change.
The shift is now to population growth.
This is highlighted in an article in the
Guardian.
This came to my attention from a post by Dave Gardiner at Numberwatch who notes that:
'Expert' speakers suggested the following five topics as candidates for the most important priority: Education & population, The oceans, Water, Energy, and Food security. Climate change, which I think most people would say has been the main focus of attention for the Greenies for the last twenty years, is not listed as a topic.
Shortly thereafter the 7 billion population point was announced (a notional point in time which has a bandwidth of several years) and in a BBC program not long afterwards to do with food, of all things, a well rehearsed comment was made about 9 billion people and their effect on the world.
The dangers of people like Maurice Strong and his ilk is that they have achieved an unprecedented level of power and influence Rasputin would be proud of.
They have done it it by taking advantage of the infiltration method of gaining power even in democratic societies.
This is the means by which a very small but dedicated group of people can take control over influential organisations out of all proportion to their actual numbers and it allows them to bypass the democratic process.
This is exampled by the way Militant tendency nearly took of the UK labour party.
They do it not by targeting the apparently important jobs in the public eye, like Parliamentary candidate but by becoming officials within the party machine.
They are the Uriah heaps who are only too happy to do all the grunt work, the unglamorous organising work. Progressively they take over the key posts in the party machine and are then the puppet masters.
It doesn't matter that the vast majority of the party members have completely different political views, they are now being manipulated by a very few extremists.
Those in the UK concerned about Cameron's Big Society see behind it the work of Saul Alinsky whose is an adherent of this method of gaining control. Obama has tried to distance himself from Alinsky but he is associated as Cameron is.
In the past there have been reports about the structure of some of the NGOs such as Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth.
A lot of these organisations started out as friendly well intentioned touchy feely warm huggy organisations that attracted the support of hand knit cardigan old ladies etc concerned about Pandas and the white Rhino (but not the demise of the European Brown rat or other less huggable species) and acquired a righteous reputation - and a great deal of funding both from members and governments.
These are the organisations who attract billions in subsidies from governments and who have been infiltrated and taken over.
The original founders are all long gone. Some ousted and some left in disgust.
Conspiracy theories?
Maybe.
Take a look at the background of these organisations.
And yes, even paranoids can have enemies. There can be and are conspiracies. We just are encouraged to dismiss all conspiracy theories like the other gunman on the grassy knoll. UFOs. Indeed, some of these far out conspiracies serve very well to discredit any suggestion of the existence of more real conspiracies.
But to gain control with a very few people, to target the influential positions and puppet master the publicity seeking politicians appears all too easy. It doesn't even take a real conspiracy.
Take a look at some of these lunatics and see just how outrageous their views are and the influence they actually have.
The dangers we should recognise because history is full of examples where lunatics have taken power.
But usually the lunatics have taken centre stage.
The danger of the modern lunatics is they are content to be puppet masters.
They are largely anonymous.
They do not directly slaughter millions of their own people in purges and pogram's. An example is how Rachel Carson's Silent Spring lead to the banning of DDT and the deaths of millions as a result.
There is no Stalin figure we can blame and we cannot really blame Carson. No one is going to bring her before the international court.
This is how it all works.
We have also seen how the MSM is complicit either wittingly or unwittingly in directing our attention and popularising the current fads.
Why? Is it because some of these organisations have also been infiltrated?
Should we be worried?
Well, the younger people might ought to be.
Us older folk may be dead by the time it all falls apart. But there again......
