Eric Worrall writes: James Delingpole has today written about the latest PR disaster from deep greens trying to pretend they are normal people – an award winning graphic novel which associates a terrorist with a machine gun in a shopping mall, with a positive message about environmental activism.
The headline picture of Delingpole’s piece depicts a green holding a machine gun in a shop, along with the caption “Today, choice about energy issues has been stolen from the people. The decisions are all in the hands of politicians and big multinationals. Economic motivations prevail over environmental needs”.

You can’t stop people from creating such trash, but the people who celebrate it, and reward the authors with praise and recognition – are these really the kind of people you want influencing your children’s future? This isn’t the first time deep greens have embarrassed themselves by exposing their warped values in public. Who can forget the infamous “no pressure” video, which featured exploding school children.
The creators of the video, who included prominent members of the British media industry, apparently thought the general public would laugh at their little “comedy”, because the kids were identified as climate skeptics before their school teacher blew them up.
This was the original “Splattergate”:

As the absence of global warming continues the Alarmists become more and more desperate. I think it’s very possible some of them will resort to terrorist measures.
In addition to examples already given, readers may remember Green eco- terrorist James Lee’s attack on the Discovery Channel headquarters. Just as we see with this thread’s dreadful cartoon, Lee had no lack of supporters who tried to rationalize and justify his actions.

Look for the manifesto of Joe Stack and Noam Chomsky’s giddiness about it as well.
This is a guy who should be watched very closely. It is not a big stretch to see him or his ilk start shooting up a mall when his fantasies get the best of him.
Is it me, or are all of the casualties in the No Pressure video white?
I guess political correctness of the all-white splatter movie makes it okay to not hire other races for the film. They get two birds with one stone. It underscores the PC thesis that white people only are guilty of everything. The irony is that such an idea is racism of the most insidious kind, the kind that makes all other races being innocently manipulated by the clever, diabolic whites. This kind of racism can be seen in much of the NGO activity in Africa – the condescending “teach a man to fish” philosophy. I wonder if they know that Hausaland in West Africa had an embassy in Constantinople in the 11th Century and that the Gold Coast supplied nearly all the gold minted in Europe during the Middle Ages by trade across the Sahara, or that Timbuktu had a major library when Europeans were largely illiterate. I’ll leave those who are interested to find the links.
Well said Gary.
There were other races in the film, but as far as I could tell, none of them were “pressured” to explode.
I’ve always believed that nutjobs have always been nutjobs, they just need to find something that really grabs them and brings out their inner psycho. If not the environment, it would be Marxism, or some sort of anarchist populism, or some other radical cause.
As for the creators and promoters of this stuff — Don’t the environmentalists care that these things are published by corporations?
After working in forensic psychiatry I can assure you that you have hit the nail on the head. Psychopaths are just as likely to inflict pain and suffering on others while in the guise of everything from Islam to fascism, Socialism to Environmentalism, from nationalism to anarchy. It is generally not the belief, it is the person. The only other governing factor on how much harm they inflict is whether they have access to arms.The person pictured with the semi automatic could be from any philosophical background, their actions as a disordered personality are the same.
Governments, by definition, will always have access to arms. The proportion of psychopaths in government is at least as high as in the general population, and arguably much higher. Draw your own conclusions.
Agreed: The predilection towards obsession and social madness predates so-called global warming.
That weapon depicted in the drawing is not a machine gun; it is a semi-automatic rifle. The feature that makes it lethal is not its rate of fire; it is the fact that those smallish bullets tumbler when they hit flesh.
GP Hanner says:”The feature that makes it lethal is not its rate of fire; it is the fact that those smallish bullets tumbler when they hit flesh.”
___________________
That statement falls under the heading of myth, rather than actual bullet performance. Small diameter projectiles (5.56mm in the case of the AR- style rifle in the drawing,) behave exactly as do larger diameter projectiles traveling at supersonic speeds. What can and does often happen, is that the bullet will begin to fragment and/or expand within a target medium, creating a larger wound channel. The greater factor in small caliber lethality, other than direct penetration of vital organs, is vital damage caused by hydrostatic shock of the supersonic projectile.
Actually, the vital factor is the amount of “twist” in the grooves or “rifles.” Less twist means a less stable bullet that will tumble more on impact. James Fallows wrote an article for the Atlantic long ago (not yet online) about the army’s adding more twist (for the sake of accuracy) and thereby decreasing lethality.
These creeps sabotage democracy. Then complain democracy doesn’t work. Then try to force state control at the micro level. Go figure.

So the same people who want to do away with guns don’t mind using guns on skeptics to get their point across?
They are also currently air-dropping automatic rifles to anyone who can grab them, in Kobani.
When you judge people strictly by what they do rather than what they say, it makes it easy to evaluate the people who would produce and support such efforts as the above.
That’s rich! As if the greens have no “economic motivation”. Al Gore anyone?
CommunIST, terrorIST, FascIST, IslamIST, environmentalIST.
What do all these dangerous losers have in common?
And why can’t we prosecute the deranged b******s who made this snuff movie for “hate crimes”?
A wise idea after what happened in the Westgate Shopping Mall in Kenya and [now] the Canadian Parliment building.
“Japan would never invade the United States. We would find a rifle behind every blade of grass.” Isoroku Yamamoto
It is said the above statement was never uttered.
Said or not, the truth is not diminished.
You may want to delet this since it’s from hotwhopper but I think it’s relevant. I was objecting, politely I thought, to her ‘tagging’ of ‘Eric “eugenics” Worral’ (very sic.). My response pointing out that I have a good engineering degree from Isaac Newton’s alma mater (although not claiming a share in its 32 Nobel Prizes) was deleted of course. Do you think the “feeble intellects” jibe was a death threat? Given the history of eugenics it might well be.

Are you denying eugenics was a serious mainstream theory amongst the Fabians and others of that ilk?

Huh? How did you get to that from what I wrote, Nigel S? Were you reading Eric “eugenics” Worrall’s stream of misplaced allegations that climate science is like Nazi eugenics?
Of course, it wasn’t just the Fabian Society. Earlier last century, people who wandered around the edge of that sort of thinking reportedly included Winston Churchill and John Maynard Keynes. Compulsory sterilisation until relatively recently was carried out in the USA (see here too), and elsewhere. But Eric wasn’t so much talking about the more general political eugenics movements worldwide. He was more specific, likening climate science to the eugenics as applied by the Nazis leading up to and including WWII. He behaved like a rather nasty nutcase.

Speaking of “feeble intellects”, maybe NigelS can’t tell the difference between 21st century climate science and the UK Fabian Society of the early 20th century :(‘
The similarities between the social madness of eugenics and the social madness of cliamte obsession are clear for anyone who pays attention. Read Chesterton’s excellent work against eugenics and substitute “climate change” for “eugenics” and it is deeply chilling.

Indeed, spot on. And just as that pseudoscience was a mass killer, the climate change pseudoscience will turn out to be too.
