Greens hate individual freedom and private
property. They dream of a centralised unelected global government, financed by
taxes on developed nations and controlled by all the tentacles of the UN.
No longer is real pollution of our environment the main Green concern.
The key slogan of the Green religion is “sustainable development”, with them
defining what is sustainable.
Greens hate miners. They use nationalised parks, heritage areas,
flora/fauna reserves, green bans, locked gates and land rights to close as much
land as possible to explorers and miners – apparently resources should be
locked away for some lucky distant future generation.
And if some persistent explorer manages to prove a mineral deposit,
greens will then strangle it in the approvals process using “death by delay”.
Greens hate farmers with their ploughs, fertilisers, crops and grazing
animals. They want Aussie grazing land turned back to kangaroos and woody
weeds. They plan to expel farmers and graziers from most land areas, with food
produced in concentrated feedlots, factory farms, communal gardens and
hydroponics.
Greens hate professional fishermen with their nets, lines and harpoons.
Using the Great Barrier Reef as their poster-child, they plan to control the
Coral Sea using marine parks, fishing quotas, bans and licences, leaving us to
get seafood from factory fish farms.
Greens hate foresters and grass-farmers. They want every tree protected,
even woody weeds taking over ancient treeless grasslands. Red meat and forest
timber are “unsustainable”. Apparently they want us to live in houses made of
recycled cardboard and plastic and eating fake steak and protein powder made
from methane generated from decomposing rubbish dumps.
Greens despise the suburbs with their SUVs, lawns, pools, manicured parks,
ponies and golf courses. They prefer concentrated accommodation with people
stacked-and-packed in high-rise cubic apartments, with state-controlled kindies
in the basement, and with ring-roads of electric trams and driverless cars
connecting apartments, schools, offices and shops.
Greens hate reliable grid power from coal, nuclear, oil, gas or hydro
generators. Their “sustainable” option is part-time power from wind and solar
with the inevitable blackouts and shortages needing more rules and rationing.
Greens lead the war on fracking and pipelines. The victims are energy
consumers. The beneficiaries are Russian gas and Middle-east oil.
Greens think it is “sustainable” to uglify scenic hills with whining
wind towers, power poles, transmission lines and access roads, and to clutter
pleasant estuaries and shallow seas with more bird-slicing turbines. They think
it is “sustainable” to keep smothering sunny flatlands under solar panels and
filling the suburbs with extra power lines and batteries of toxic metals.
Greens think it is “sustainable” to clear forests for bio-mass to feed
large wood-fired power stations, or for establishing biofuel plantations. They
think it is “sustainable” to keep converting croplands from producing food for
humans to producing ethanol for cars.
Greens hate free markets where prices are used to signal changing supply
and demand. There is no room for fun, frills or luxuries in their “sustainable”
world. They want to limit demand by imposing rationing on us wastrels – carbon
ration cards, electricity rationing meters, water rationing, meat free days,
diet cops and bans on fast foods and fizzy-drinks.
They also favour compulsory recycling of everything, no matter what that
process costs in energy or resources. Surveillance cameras will keep watch on
our “wasteful” habits.
None of this vast green religious agenda is compatible with individual
freedom, constitutional rights or private property - and none of it makes any
economic or climate sense.
The Despotic Green New World is coming. Climate alarm is the stalking
horse, “sustainable development” is the war cry, and global government is the
goal.
