I'm not talking about the verdant environmentalists, of the "Green Scare," the syntax applied by the government to categorize eco-defenders under the axis of terrorism. Nor the hue of the ecological mind shift that launched the global political movement. The US Green Party stands for what, beside outsiders to the corporate party? Socialism, humanism, ecology -- if you try to find common ground in a nutshell -- all the progressive reform commonsensical to the educated class. It's the Democratic Party platform sine qua non. Left unarticulated, the objectives are the Green Party's to table for discussion when they will meet less opposition. In administrative parlance that's to go nowhere.

James J. Lee, caricature eco-vigilante, assails Discovery Channel offices, puts his money and life where his Malthus
The plus side of eco-vigilante James Lee's Falling Down routine at the Discovery Channel headquarters is that viewers might be prompted to wonder what's there to protest. Will the media paint the 43-year-old Lee as a kook, without addressing to what in particular the would- be superhero took offense? Maybe that the cable propagandists purport to inform as they dumb their national audiences to adolescence? No, it turns out Lee's message is even less palatable, but made to order. Why did James Lee want to task the Discovery Channel to "save the planet" instead of the major networks? Why Discovery, other than the peculiarity that some of their programs glorify large families, obviously a root cause of overpopulation and thus mankind's disastrous impact on nature. So far the reporting has avoided that line of question because it turns out James Lee's crusade centers on a Malthusian epistemology not off limits to the MSM, in fact it's right up Bilderberg Alley. Cries Lee:"All human procreation and farming must cease!" as he cites My Ishmael author Daniel Quinn for ideas of how to cut back food production to effect such a strategy. Quinn's 1992 "novel" received a one-of-a-kind 1/2 million dollar grant from Ted Turner, for its fearless anti-human prognosis. Which dovetails with the interests of another oligarch eugenicist of the Club of Rome ilk, Bill Gates, proponent of sterilization. Cutting back on agriculture is no new idea. Genghis Khan had no use for agriculture. It supported city populations which threatened the open range. Modern times have restored the ultra rich who now seek to reestablish hunting grounds void of their subjects. No time like the present to prep the common man on the necessity of sacrificing oneself so that the sustainable few can survive. What a golden opportunity to have a kook broach the subject, float the balloon so to speak, to set environmental do-gooders on the thought-path of rationalizing having to do themselves in. The failed hostage-taker left a web page where he explained My Demands. My guess is that James Lee's exclamation-point-ridden protestations remain unadulterated, a match for his ill-conceived and unpromising armed assault. Instead of elevating the debate, Lee has given America's security agencies further excuse to demonize environmental activists as "terrorists" under the theme of The Green Scare. The web page at savetheplanetprotest.com is reprinted below: "the demands and sayings of Lee." The Discovery Channel MUST broadcast to the world their commitment to save the planet and to do the following IMMEDIATELY: 1. The Discovery Channel and it's affiliate channels MUST have daily television programs at prime time slots based on Daniel Quinn's "My Ishmael" pages 207-212 where solutions to save the planet would be done in the same way as the Industrial Revolution was done, by people building on each other's inventive ideas. Focus must be given on how people can live WITHOUT giving birth to more filthy human children since those new additions continue pollution and are pollution. A game show format contest would be in order. Perhaps also forums of
