Eco Fascism
There is a close historical connection between
the anti technology, 'deep green' branch of Green
politics and the Third Reich. The modern green
movement started in Germany and green politics is
more popular there than anywhere else. Today's
environmentalists don't advocate racism/ eugenics
or the military expansionism of the Nazi
government, however both of those policies grew
out of the radical nazi environmental ideology.
Ecofascism is an ultra conservative, right wing
philosophy which advocates a return to a pre
industrial, agrarian civilisation. The Nazi party
had variations and varying strenght of views.
It's main supporters were Himmler, Hesse, Darre
and Nazi philosopher Karl Haushofer.
"We
recognize that separating humanity from nature,
from the whole of life, leads to humankinds
own destruction and to the death of nations. Only
through a re-integration of humanity into the
whole of nature can our people be made stronger.
That is the fundamental point of the biological
tasks of our age. Humankind alone is no longer
the focus of thought, but rather life as a whole
. . . This striving toward connectedness with the
totality of life, with nature itself, a nature
into which we are born, this is the deepest
meaning and the true essence of National
Socialist thought."

Arbeit im neuen Reich, München, 1934

Environmentalism was more
central to nazi ideology than race. In fact the
racial segregation ideology came from the pagan
'blood and soil' emphasis on the local so beloved
of the modern green movement. Both are based on a
romantic view of pre industrial pagan tribal
cultures and their supposed oneness with the
natural world . The
reality is that they were extremely cruel and
brutal societies who practised human sacrifice
and worse.
The anti-capitalism of the nazis is reflected in
the modern environmental movement. It is
generally assumed today that anti free market
politics is left wing. However, the nazis were
extremely anti capitalist but on the political
right. They believed capitalism was a Jewish plot
to enslave the Aryan race. The modern Green Party
in Germany is positioned right of centre and its
voters would in the main have otherwise voted for
right wing parties. It is also true however that
many Green activists have left wing backgrounds
but they share the fundamental principle of the
control of capitalism by the state.
The fundamental issue at stake under
consideration here isn't right vs left but
whether the world should push forward to a
technologically advanced future or return as the
nazis planned, to a more primitive existence.
Rolling back the evolutionary clock one hundred
years would see the return of privilige for an
elite few and the re-emergence of subsistence
poverty for those at the bottom.
The purpose of this page is not
to suggest that modern environmentalists are
nazis or fascists, not even to loosely accuse
them of being control freaks or anything similar.
However they share with the Third Reich an agenda
to roll back the industrialised world and a
return to a cleaner, less polluting society. Not
by advances in technology but by increasing the
cost of consumption (taxation and more expensive
fuel) and removing modern comforts of the poorest
individuals. Comforts like home heating, car
travel, foreign holidays and indeed anything that
it is deemed to damage the environment. It is
almost universally true that those who promote
these ideas have a level of income that means
their lifestyles will be unaffected by such
changes. A look at the aristocrats page will
reveal that the prominent individuals are very
often upper class.
Below are a number of articles
showing the connection between right wing,
particularly Nazi politics and environmentalism.

This short BBC clip refers to the Nazi's
obsession with the environment and natural
purity. They believed nature was better in the
past. They tried to de-evolve cattle and searched
for the origins of the Aryan race in Tibet.

Himmler
justifies the invasion of Poland
In December 1942, Himmler released a decree
"On the Treatment of the Land in the Eastern
Territories," referring to the newly annexed
portions of Poland. It read in part:
The peasant of our racial stock has always
carefully endeavored to increase the natural
powers of the soil, plants, and animals, and to
preserve the balance of the whole of nature. For
him, respect for divine creation is the measure
of all culture. If, therefore, the new Lebensräume
(living spaces) are to become a homeland for our
settlers, the planned arrangement of the
landscape to keep it close to nature is a
decisive prerequisite. It is one of the bases for
fortifying the German Volk.

Lebensraum
One of the most central "doctrines"
or pseudo-doctrines to the Nazi Belief System was
that of "Blood and Soil" or Blut und
Boden. "Blood & Soil" was the
foundational concept for other concepts such as
"Lebensraum and was rooted in occultic
philosophies prevalent in German mysticism and
Ancient legend, which posited that German Racial
Identity, was essentially tied literally and
metaphorically to the land. In the beginning of
the reign of the Third Reich, the concept of
"Blut und Boden" was euphemized with
a'back to the land' , back-to-basics approach of
bringing back the historical lifestyle of a
Prussian people; a history tied in farming and
rural values. The concept however was far greater
than the 'back to farming ' and country life
mentality which was couched in terms of
patriotism and nationalism: the concept of the
bloodlines of Germany being integrally tied to
the soil or land necessitated a German people on
a German land, with all others as intruders.
http://www.shoaheducation.com/blut.htm
He goes on to note that even within the Nazi
regime, there were differences of opinion about
the meaning of Lebensraum, citing Rainer
Zitelmann, who distinguishes between the
near-mystical fascination with a return to an
idyllic agrarian society (for which land was a
necessity) as advocated by Darré and Himmler,
and an industrial state, envisioned by Hitler,
which would be reliant on raw materials and
forced labor.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebensraum
Heidegger's answers to some questions are
evasive. For example, when he talks about a
"national and social approach" of
national socialism, he links this to Friedrich
Naumann. According to Thomas Sheehan, Naumann had
the "vision of a strong nationalism and a
militantly anticommunist socialism, combined
under a charismatic leader who would fashion a
middle-European empire that preserved the spirit
and tradition of pre-industrial Germany even as
it appropriated, in moderation, the gains of
modern technology.

Fascist Ecology: The "Green
Wing" of the Nazi Party and its Historical
Antecedents
A study of the membership rolls of several

by 1939, fully 60 percent of these
conservationists had joined the NSDAP (compared
to about 10 percent of adult men and 25 percent

Clearly the affinities between environmentalism
and National Socialism ran deep.
"When people attempt to rebel against the
iron logic of nature, they come into conflict
with the very same principles to which they owe
their existence as human beings. Their actions
against nature must lead to their own
downfall." - Adolf Hitler
Himmler even established experimental organic
farms to grow herbs for SS medicinal purposes.
And Hitler, at times, could sound like a
veritable Green utopian, discussing
authoritatively and in detail various renewable
energy sources (including environmentally
appropriate hydropower and producing natural gas
from sludge) as alternatives to coal, and
declaring "water, winds and tides" as
the energy path of the future
Darré declared: "The concept of Blood
and Soil gives us the moral right to take back as
much land in the East as is necessary to
establish a harmony between the body of our Volk
and the geopolitical space
An inveterate nature lover as well as a devout
Steinerite, Hess insisted on a strictly
biodynamic diet -- not even Hitler's rigorous
vegetarian standards were good enough for him --
and accepted only homeopathic medicines. It was
Hess who introduced Darré to Hitler, thus
securing the "green wing" its first
power base. He was an even more tenacious
proponent of organic farming than Darré,
To explain the destruction of the countryside
and environmental damage, without questioning the
German people's bond to nature, could only be
done by not analysing environmental damage in a
societal context and by refusing to understand
them as an expression of conflicting social
interests. Had this been done, it would have led
to criticism of National Socialism itself since
that was not immune to such forces. One solution
was to associate such environmental problems with
the destructive influence of other races.
National Socialism could then be seen to strive
for the elimination of other races in order to
allow the German people's innate understanding
and feeling of nature to assert itself, hence
securing a harmonic life close to nature for the
future.

Hitlers Green Killing Machine
By Mark Musser | February 15,
2010
Historians have either overlooked or forgotten
that sweeping Nazi environmental laws, all signed
by Hitler and considered to be his pet projects,
preceded the racially charged Nuremberg Laws,
reflecting the fact that Nazi racism was rooted
in ecology.
The shocking climax of the infamous 1940 Nazi
documentary film entitled The Eternal Jew
stunningly reveals a strong green rationalization
based on animal rights for the looming
destruction of the Jews. According to Nazi
ideology, the so-called eternal Jew
is the transcendent Jew who tries to live above
Nature through economics and capitalism in the
west, or through politics and communism in the
east.
In Mein Kampf,
Hitler specifically called this process the
pacification of Nature. According to Hitler, the
Jews try to pacify or tame Nature through
international commerce and capitalism on the one
hand, or by stressing universal political values
like communistic equality on the other hand, both
of which rebel against the stern rigid laws of
Nature which cannot be overcome. German zoologist
Ernst Haeckel, the racist Darwinist who coined
the term ecology in 1866, posited
that the Jewish transcendent view of man over
nature made them resistant to evolutionary
biological change, and hence the Jews had become
a lesser race. While Hitler eschewed some of
Haeckels political views, he heartily
agreed with this particular belief.
To the Nazis, the Jews had become a wandering
and threatening invasive species because of their
steadfastness to universal transcendent values in
opposition to the Social Darwinian evolutionary
laws of Nature. They were eternal
vagabonds, uprooted from Nature and destructive
to local national populations with alien economic
practices and politics. Hence, Nazi ideologues
complained both about the un-German spirit
of commerce and the liberal-Marxist
rationalism that alienated German culture
from Nature-all as a crisis instigated by the
Jews. In fact, the Nazis actually believed that
the sick modern world of both international
capitalism and communism, led by Jews and spread
by Christianity, was entirely disobedient to
Nature.
While the west largely became Judaized
through Capitalism, it did not go unnoticed by
the Nazis that its twin sister, the liberal
social gospel, coincided with the rise of Jewish
Marxism. Both of these corrupting influences had
since become an epidemic that was threatening the
very survival of the German Aryan blood, the true
original natives of Europe. Hitler actually
dreaded the Jewish forces of anti-Nature. In his
own mind, he was defending German Aryan culture
against the weakness of western civilization
brought on by the autonomous Judeo-Christian
beliefs and practices over the natural
world.
Many Nazis, including the Fuhrer
himself, believed that the industrial age along
with its emphasis upon commercialism, city life,
international trade and finance were corrupting
the biological substance of the German people.
The Nazis thus had an extreme literal reading of
Nature which would spell absolute disaster for
the Jews in particular precisely because they
allegedly lived by a false, eternal,
or transcendent ethos, far above the natural
world and her scientific evolutionary
natural laws of racism.
Seen in this light through a green prism, the
Nazi propaganda film The Eternal Jew
becomes much more intelligible. The hour-long
documentary keeps a steady pace throughout going
from one anti-Semitic line of reasoning to the
next. The Jews do not possess romantic
countryside hard working rural values. Nor do
they produce anything of real value. All they do
is buy and sell goods in markets produced by the
native populations which artificially places them
on top of the financial chain. Jews are much more
at home bartering and selling on dirty city
streets than they are in performing hardy and
healthy outdoor labor tasks. Their
capitalistic international trade is comparable to
a massive infestation of rats characterized like
invasive species overwhelming Germany and
spreading disease everywhere they go.
http://www.aim.org/aim-report/hitlers-green-killing-machine/
Green NazisNeither did they
apprehend that the sweeping Nazi environmental
laws of 1933-35 were an implicit Anti-Semitic
precursor for the racially charged Nuremberg
laws. Together, they would both specifically
target Jewish internationalism, whether coming
from the capitalistic west or the communistic
east, as being unnatural and alien, i.e., not
indigenous to Germany..
"Neither did they apprehend that the
sweeping Nazi environmental laws of 1933-35 were
an implicit Anti-Semitic precursor for the
racially charged Nuremberg laws"
One of the most embarrassing environmental facts
of the 1930s was that between 60-70% of the
German greens were Nazi Party members, compared
to only 10% of the population at large. In fact,
German greens even outperformed medical doctors
and teachers, with Nazi foresters and
veterinarians leading the charge.
...
Though the German greens predated the Nazis by
well over 100 years, with the advent of the Nazi
Party, their previous Romanticism was transformed
into something far more sinister because of its
ties to a strong totalitarian state, where, for
the first time, they became political players at
the federal level. While environmental
historians
are quick to point out that the Four Year Plans
great battle for production later compromised the
new conservation laws, the fact of the matter is
that the idea of a political totalitarian
environmentalism was born in the Third Reich. Indeed,
the 1935 Reich Nature Protection Act trumpeted
the slogan, it shall be the whole
landscape. Green
historians
may debate on how effective this totalitarian
conservation law was, but nonetheless, here is
seen the birth of environmental impact statements
and the like. In Nazi Germany, private property
could even be seized without compensation for the
sake of environmental concerns. As such, what was
unique about Nazi environmentalism was not in its
setting aside of nature reserves ala Teddy
Roosevelt, but in its willingness to regulate
already developed properties for the sake of the
environment. This was a line that Teddy Roosevelt
and Gifford Pinchot did not cross. The green
Nazis, however, crossed the Rubicon. . "Like
Tucholsky before him, he thus astutely recognized
the dark shade of green that characterized Hitler
and the Nazis of the 1930s"

Nazi economics
In place of ordinary profit incentive to guide
the economy, investment was guided through
regulation to accord to the needs of the State.
The profit incentive for business owners was
retained, though greatly modified through various
profit-fixing schemes: Fixing of profits, not
their suppression, was the official policy of the
Nazi party. However the function of profit in
automatically guiding allocation of investment
and unconsciously directing the course of the
economy was replaced with economic planning by
Nazi government agencies. Government financing
eventually came to dominate the investment
process, which the proportion of private
securities issued falling from over half of the
total in 1933 and 1934 to approximately 10
percent in 19351938. Heavy taxes on
business profits limited self-financing of firms.
The largest firms were mostly exempt from taxes
on profits, however government control of these
were extensive enough to leave only the shell of
private ownership.

Nazi
Mysticism / Paganism
The mystical romanticism of the nazis is
illustrated by their fascination with Theosophy,
the grail legend, their close connection with the
Thule Society and the fact that Himmler believed
he was the reinarnation of an early German king,
taking over a castle where he convened in an
Arthurian fashion with twelve SS knights seated
at a round table.
Central to Nazism was a pre Christian
nature centred paganism
Nazism and the myth of the
"master-race"
The centre of this new order of knights, an
"aristocracy of soul and blood", was
the Wewelsburg castle. This was Himmler's
Camelot, with SS commanders cast as the Knights
of the Round Table. Rooms were dedicated to
figures of Nordic history and mythology like King
Arthur. Himmler's room was dedicated to King
Heinrich I, founder of the first German Reich
(empire). Himmler believed himself to be the
reincarnation of Heinrich. Another room was set
aside to house the Holy Grail, which was to be
searched for all over the world.

...
To this end, Himmler set out to re-establish
an ancient Aryan religion within Germany in
opposition to Christianity, as a basis for Nazi
ideology. Himmler maintained that many sacred
symbols had been stolen from a more ancient Aryan
religion and set out to restore them. One such
symbol was the Holy Grail. One leading academic
recruited to the Nazi cause was Otto Rahn, the
leading German authority on the Holy Grail. He
was brought into the SS to lead the search for it
the world over.

The new wave of ecofascism
"I have a
feeling," Lovelock
said, "that climate change may be an
issue as severe as a war. It may be necessary to
put democracy on hold for a while." His
words may be disturbing, but other ecologists
have gone much further.
Take for example Pentti Linkola, a
Finnish fisherman and ecological philosopher.
Whereas Lovelock puts his faith
in advanced technology, Linkola proposes a
turn to fascistic primitivism. Their only point
of agreement is on the need to suspend democracy.
Linkola has built an environmentalist following
by calling for an authoritarian, ecological
regime that ruthlessly suppresses consumers.
Largely unknown outside of Finland until the
first English
translation of his work was published last
year, Linkola represents environmentalism pushed
to its totalitarian extreme. "An
ecocatastrophe is taking place on earth," he
writes concluding several pages later that
"discipline, prohibition, enforcement and
oppression" are the only solution.
Linkola
has a cunning ability to blend reasonable
ecological precepts with shocking authoritarian
solutions. His bold political programme includes
ending the freedom to procreate, abolishing
fossil fuels, revoking all international trade
agreements, banning air traffic, demolishing the
suburbs, and reforesting parking lots. As for
those "most responsible for the present
economic growth and competition", Linkola
explains that they will be sent to the mountains
for "re-education" in eco-gulags:
"the sole glimmer of hope," he
declares, "lies in a centralised government
and the tireless control of citizens."

James Hansen recently endorsed an extreme eco
fascist book by Keith Farnish calling for the
destruction of industrial civilisation.
Farnish writes
The only way to prevent global ecological
collapse and thus ensure the survival of humanity
is to rid the world of Industrial Civilization
and
Unloading essentially means the removal of an
existing burden: for instance, removing grazing
domesticated animals, razing cities to
the ground, blowing up dams and
switching off the greenhouse gas emissions
machine. The process of ecological unloading is
an accumulation of many of the things I have
already explained in this chapter, along with an
(almost certainly necessary) element of sabotage.

Here is something all right-thinking liberals
can agree on. Saving the planet is good; manipulating
humanity through eugenics is bad. The trouble
is that these two ethical opposites come together
when we talk about population control as a means
of protecting the environment.
Most of us breed. And those of us who do have one
ecological footprint in common: our offspring. Me
included. So all greens have to ask: is having
babies bad for the planet?
Fair enough. But there is another question that I
find increasingly being asked. Should we be
trying to stop others having babies, especially
people in poor countries with fast-growing
populations?
I must say I thought this kind of illiberal
thinking had been banished from the environmental
movement. But it keeps seeping back. When I give
public talks on climate change, I am often asked
if all the efforts in the rich world won't be
wiped out by rising populations in the poor
world.
Isn't overpopulation more dangerous than
overconsumption? I say no. But the unpalatable
truth is that a lot of environmental thinking
over the past half century has been underpinned
by an unhealthy preoccupation with the breeding
propensity of Asians and Africans.
They were, it was often held, polluting the human
gene pool as well as the planet. Such thinking
was not fringe: it involved some of the great
names of the environment movement.
So the American academic Garrett
Hardin said in his classic and still-revered
environment text Tragedy of the Commonsin 1968,
"Freedom to breed will bring ruin to
all." It must be "relinquished to
preserve and nurture other and more precious
freedoms." Lest we have any doubt who should
do the relinquishing, he wrote elsewhere about
how college students should have more children
than those with low IQs.
Or take Paul
Ehrlich, author of The
Population Bomb
from the same era. That book said the world could
no longer feed itself and called for population
control "by compulsion if voluntary methods
fail."
Meanwhile the British book Blueprint
for Survival,
published by The Ecologist magazine, sided with
the demagogue-of-the-day Enoch Powell in calling
for "an end to immigration". Far from
being ostracised as a right-wing tract, its
recipe was supported by Friends of the Earth
and Peter Scott, the TV wildlife king and founder
of the World
Wildlife Fund.
And this is not ancient history. Only recently,
US groups opposed to all migration tried to get
their policies adopted by the blue-chip
environment group, the Sierra Club.
To many they sounded like a fringe group.
Actually they were an echo of the earlier
mainstream.
And the echo is becoming louder. We
hear it in the climate change debate. No
matter that the average European or North
American has carbon emissions 10 times greater
than the average Indian or African, somehow it is
those pesky breeding foreigners who are really to
blame.
And now food shortages are growing and we will
get more. Ehrlich, we are bound to be told, was
right after all. You have been warned: green
fascism could soon be on the march.

Black Shirts in Green Trousers
By George Monbiot, April 30, 2002
The far right is moving in, and greens and
globalisation campaigners must do more to shut it
out.
The BNP is not the only force on the far right
which now describes itself as the true
green party. Similar claims have been made
by members of Le Pens Front National, by
the Vlaams Blok in Belgium and, in Britain, by a
tiny offshoot of the National Front which calls
itself Third Way. This is the group which most
clearly articulates the way in which the politics
of the hard right are shifting.
The previous editorial team split with its
founder Teddy Goldsmith after he addressed a
meeting of the hard right Groupement de Recherche
et dEtudes pour la Civilisation Europeene.
Goldsmith, whose politics are a curious mixture
of radical and reactionary, has advocated the
enforced separation of Tutsis and Hutus in Rwanda
and Protestants and Catholics in Ulster, on the
grounds that they constitute distinct
ethnic groups and are thus culturally
incapable of co-habitation.

Goldsmith's close friend John Aspinall wanted to
wipe out most of the world's population. With
James Goldsmith and Lord Lucan, he discussed the
overthrow of Harold Wilson and James Callaghan.

Some of us are now drawn to believe
that a demo-catastrophe will be an eco-bonanza. In
other words, a population readjustment on a
planetary scale from 4000 million to something in
the nature of 200 million would be the only
possible solution for the survival of our
species.and of the eco-system or systems that
nurtured us.

There is no suggestion Lucan was in any way
anti-Semitic or supported the Final Solution. But
he and his associates, who included casino owner
and party host John Aspinall, and the tycoon Sir
James Goldsmith, were increasingly convinced
Britain had fallen victim to a socialist conspir
acy. Daily Express journalist Charles Benson, one
of Lucan's friends, said: 'He was very right wing
and never watered it down in front of liberals.
He would talk about hanging and flogging and
niggers to get a reaction.'
According to former MI5 officer Peter Wright,
a group of his colleagues, including Margaret
Thatcher's mentor Airey Neave, began discussing a
political coup. According to Wright, they
believed that the Labour government had been
infiltrated by the KGB and should be overthrown.
He also claimed they were backed by a right-wing
financier. Goldsmith always denied he put the
money behind the group or discussed MI5 matters
with former intelligence officers.

My hero: Edward Goldsmith by Zac Goldsmith
My uncle Teddy died last month and I will miss
him enormously. But his death is more than a
personal blow.
Teddy was an early pioneer of the green
movement. He launched the Ecologist magazine four
decades ago, and his Blueprint for Survival was a
defining document. It sold in huge numbers, and
inspired countless young people to get involved.
He helped set up the first green political party
- People, which later became the Green party.
Teddy's slogan was "No deserts in
Suffolk", and to capture people's attention,
he recruited a camel. He lost his deposit, and in
a bizarre twist was chased by a paper-waving
official who accused him of animal cruelty,
citing the effects on the camel of breathing in
car fumes. "That's exactly my point,"
Teddy declared. "Imagine what it's doing to
us!"
Near the end of his life, Teddy said; "If
in some small way I've helped to slow the runaway
juggernaut that we've created, or make people
aware of it, that has to be a good thing."
He did more than that. He was responsible,
perhaps more than anyone else, for waking us up
from our collective slumber. He will remain a
hero of mine, and if we survive the crisis, he
will be revered by many, many others.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2009/sep/26/my-hero-edward-goldsmith-zac
For Goldsmith, the overriding goal of Green
politics is to re-establish a "natural
social order", "organised on the same
plan and governed by the same laws [as] the
Cosmos and the natural world".64 Tradition
provides the blueprint for this all-encompassing
plan and religion the means through which it
should be instrumentalised in society,65 regimenting human
relations -- between men and women, within
families and communities and between ethnic
groups -- so that they accord with the precepts
of "Gaia".66
The result, many argue, is a "Gaian
sociobiology",67
which, when it comes to addressing issues of
ethnicity, family and community, risks lending
itself to deeply authoritarian agendas.
One danger inherent in such Gaian sociobiology
is that human rights can all too easily be
rendered secondary to considerations of
"social" stability, as defined by
Gaians. Commenting in an earlier work on the
civil strife that has historically racked
Northern Ireland, for example, Goldsmith has
insisted that Catholics and Protestants
constitute separate and implacably opposed
"tribal groups", whose differences are
now culturally insurmountable; the only lasting
solution therefore lies in splitting the two
communities apart, forcibly if necessary. Writing
three years after the most recent era of
"Troubles" flared in 1968, Goldsmith
argued:
"The Catholics and the Protestants in
Northern Ireland ... constitute two distinct
ethnic groups, of different origin, with
different manners and traditions and different
motivations and capacities. They could occupy the
same geographic area and form a single society if
they were capable of living in cultural symbiosis
with each other, which they have done up to now.
The Catholics, however, are no longer willing to
fill the lower echelons of the economic
hierarchy, as the cultural pattern which
previously enabled them to do so has largely
broken down. The only remaining solution is to
separate them territorially. Ataturk separated
Greeks and Turks very successfully, although
there was a terrible outcry at the time and it
undoubtedly caused considerable inconvenience to
the people who were forced to migrate. But should
we not be willing to accept measures of
inconvenience in order to establish a stable
society?"68

Sir James Goldsmith's salon
reflects his varied interests and influences. A
key figure is the Marchioness of Worcester, a
former actress and model who has elevated green
talking-shops from squats and coffee bars to the
grounds of her vast Gloucestershire estate. Known
in environmental circles as plain Tracy
Worcester, the Marchioness has long been a close
friend of Sir James.
At her London townhouse,
Cabinet ministers and Whitehall mandarins have
tea with green activists. Guests have included
Sir James and his brother Teddy, along with
William Waldegrave and Brian Mawhinney, Charles
Secret, of Friends of the Earth, and Sir Crispin
Tickell, former ambassador to the UN and chairman
of Earthwatch Europe.
Prior to the Referendum
Party, Sir James was a passionate ecologist. His
financial assistance to the Ecological Foundation
kept it afloat in the early Seventies and helped
Teddy to found the Ecologist Magazine. In 1976,
he was awarded a knighthood for "services to
export and ecology".

Sir Crispin Tickell
He is currently the
president of the UK charity Tree Aid,[7] which enables
communities in Africa's drylands to fight poverty
and become self-reliant, while improving the
environment. He is also a patron of the Optimum
Population Trust, and told Radio 4's Today
programme that the ideal population for Britain
could be around 20 million [8]. As a member
of Lord Rogers' Urban Task Force, Tickell
counselled against spreading cities saying that
we need denser living, that young adults should
not expect to leave home straight away, and that
older relatives could live in 'granny flats

James Lovelock
We need a more authoritative world.
Weve become a sort of cheeky,
egalitarian world where everyone can have
their say. Its all very well, but there
are certain circumstances a war is a
typical example where you cant
do that. Youve got to have a few people
with authority who you trust who are running
it. And they should be very accountable too,
of course.
But it cant happen in a modern
democracy. This is one of the problems.
Whats the alternative to democracy?
There isnt one. But even the best
democracies agree that when a major war
approaches, democracy must be put on hold for
the time being. I have a feeling that climate
change may be an issue as severe as a war. It
may be necessary to put democracy on hold for
a while.

James Delingole reports on BBC
programme by Justin Rowlatt (the BBC's Ethical
Man)
Climate change is a divisive issue. I believe
that it is a real threat and needs to be tackled.
I know many people disagree. But whatever you
believe you should be concerned about how our
society responds to the issue because there is a
growing view that mitigating climate change means
we have to change our view of democracy.
Halina Ward of the Foundation For Democracy
And Sustainable Development says.
We dont have to be driven by what 50%
plus 1 of the population wants to say that we
represent a majority view.
Michael Jacobs, formerly Gordon Browns
advisor on Climate Change, says:
I dont think its right to call
something anti-democratic if it has the consent
of the public even if you couldnt say that
they were actively in favour of it.
Rowlatts exchange with somebody called
Mayer Hillman, senior fellow emeritus of the
Left-leaning Policy Studies institute:
HILLMAN: The planet has a finite capacity
to absorb the furtherburning of fossil fuels
and still leave a safe climate for the
future, and
theres every indication that we
and I mean the public in this country and
elsewhere are not prepared to make the
changes necessary to
achieve that. On the other hand democracy
requires that those changes cannot be imposed
on the public if they are unwilling to accept
the
implications of that, which is living within
the planets capacity toabsorb further
greenhouse gas emissions.
ROWLATT: So what are you saying we
suspend democracy?
HILLMAN: I think in the same way that I
understand James Lovelock has suggested that,
I fear I have to share his view on that.
Theres no
way that the public are going to willingly
say I will forego flying.The fact
is that weve got to live on such a low
use of fossil fuels for
our daily activities. Therefore its got
to be required of them and if they dont
go along with it, then we are I fear
heading for absolute
disaster. We are on a trajectory towards
rendering the planet steadily uninhabitable.
ROWLATT: Some people would say, Mayer,
that you sound like an eco fascist.
HILLMAN: Well I have had that term applied
to me. I dont mind these
sticks and stones. I think its
irrelevant how I sound. Im just trying
to
talk commonsense
Hillman:
We have an obligation to look after the
interests of future generations because
theyre going to have to live in a world
which is in
a deteriorating condition. And we already,
some of us, can see the lives that our
children and grandchildren are going to have
to live within, and
it is pretty horrific and it is because
were not prepared to make the changes
necessary. Democracy allows people the
freedom not to be
obliged to do things that we know we must do,
so how can one possibly say yes but the
principle of democracy must prevail over and
above
protection of the global environment from
excessive burning of fossil fuels? Given the
choice, I would sadly very, very sadly
say that the
condition of the planet in the future for
future generations is

The collapse of civilisation will bring
us a saner world, says Paul Kingsnorth
The writing is on the wall for industrial
society, and no amount of ethical shopping or
determined protesting is going to change that
now. Take a civilisation built on the
myth of human exceptionalism and a
deeply embedded cultural attitude to
"nature"; add a blind belief in
technological and material progress; then fuel
the whole thing with a power source that is
discovered to be disastrously destructive only
after we have used it to inflate our numbers and
appetites beyond the point of no return.
The challenge is not how to shore up a
crumbling empire with wave machines and global
summits, but to start thinking about how we are
going to live through its fall, and what we can
learn from its collapse.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cif-green/2009/aug/17/environment-climate-change
Compare that with the very similar
"When people attempt to rebel against the
iron logic of nature, they come into conflict
with the very same principles to which they owe
their existence as human beings. Their actions
against nature must lead to their own
downfall."

Well, we don?t buy it. This project starts with
our sense that civilisation as we have known it
is coming to an end; brought down by a rapidly
changing climate, a cancerous economic system and
the ongoing mass destruction of the non-human

age of collapse ? which is already beginning ?
could also offer a new start, if we are careful
in our choices.

Goldsmith is a regular guest at international

because of a political conflict with Edward
Goldsmith over ethnicity and gender issues, and
because Goldsmith was unwilling to end his
collaboration with the New Right. Goldsmith makes
a plea for a green policy that will re-establish
a "natural social order" and "the

In the mid-1960s the British landed interest came
out of hiding through a series of conferences and
events revolving around the word Countryside.
This phase of the mobilization culminated in the
passing of various Countryside Acts in 1967/8.
For the land-owners and their activists the
Countryside blitz was a staging area for an
intense campaign to follow; the groundwork for
which had been laid well in advance. New
strategies had been developed to preserve
Britains pristine heritage. Major British
newspapers were bursting with headlines about
pollution, over-population, and extinction. A
noisy campus-based sub-movement surged forth with
a clear anti-industrial and spiritualist
orientation but with sufficient anti-capitalist
coloration to allow it to blend in with the Left.
The main ideology of this sub-movement, much
hyped by the media, was: back-to-the-land,
organic, tree-hugging, au natural, mystical,
libertine, neo-Luddite Hippyism. Professional
land conservation/anti-industrial activist
organizations rose up blessed with philanthropic
fuel and media bellowing. This phase of the
movements struggle culminated in the early
1970s with the consolidation of a commanding
beachhead within the state: the Ministry of the
Environment. As the Environment Ministry assumed
a movement command and control function, the
Hippies donned business suits.
The crypto-fascist Green Party also came together
in the early 1970s primarily through the efforts
of the billionaire Goldsmith clan, most visibly
Edward (1928-2009), publisher of Ecologist magazine.
In the 1990s Edward Goldsmith permanently
alienated long-term associates by undertaking a
systematic campaign of wooing explicit
neo-fascist organizations into the
environmentalist tent. This campaign involved
high profile appearances by Goldsmith at
neo-fascist conventions in France and Belgium.
The subsequent anti-globalization
flash-in-the-pan resulted from the fusion of
these clusters. Goldsmith was a raving
traditionalist, Malthusian, anti-industrialist,
and indigenous rights activist.
The British National Party has BUF pedigree and
appearance. BNP claims to be Britains
true Green party.
Their platform commits them to: converting
Britain to organic farming and suppressing factory
farming; replacing petroleum as an
energy source; stopping the building of
ever-more houses, and reducing
Britains population. The BNP defends the
rights of indigenous people in the colonial
world.
King Edward VIII was a full-on treasonous Nazi
and a hero to British and international fascists.
The de facto King for the last 57 years, Philip,
and the future king, Charles, are both
authentically committed, hard-working
environmental activists whose contribution to the
movement is incalculable. Philip led a successful
campaign in the 1950s to create parks around
Britain. In 1961 Philip, with Prince Bernard of
the Netherlands, took this effort global by
founding the worlds largest conservation
organization, the WWF. Control Africa
has been the mantra of almost every European
fascist and neo-fascist party. A WWF led drive
created hundreds of African parks whose governing
bodies are far removed from the locals. Scores of
these parks have land masses in excess of 5,000
square kilometres.
British neo-fascist strategy appears to be: a)
mainstreaming the British National Party; b)
circling the Greens around the
population-environment connection; c) BNP, and
like organizations, focussing on the
immigration-population-environment connection; d)
the nationalists, locally, and the
environmentalists, globally, increasing their use
of the indigenous land rights/anti-colonization
discourse; e) media disparaging of the House of
Commons; f) minority governments; g)
Green-National rapprochement; and h) politely and
patiently waiting for the coronation of Charles
III.
BBC coverage of the BNP varies inversely with its
global warming coverage. As British
neo-fascism slinks away from the climate change
campaign and toward the immigration-environment
campaign, photos of the angry sun are eclipsed by
photos of Nick Griffiths chubby mug.

left the BNP soon after joining.
A spokesman for the Green Party claimed today
that Mr Bessant was in the BNP not because he was

opinion that the BNP climate change policy was
more radical than ours, he said

The reality of tribal societies
When the Aztecs sacrificed people to
Huitzilopochtli the victim would be placed on a
sacrificial stone.[19] Then the priest would cut
through the abdomen with an obsidian or flint
blade.[20] The heart would be torn out still
beating and held towards the sky in honor to the
Sun-God; the body would be carried away and
either cremated or given to the warrior
responsible for the capture of the victim. He
would either cut the body in pieces and send them
to important people as an offering, or use the
pieces for ritual cannibalism. The warrior would
thus ascend one step in the hierarchy of the
Aztec social classes, a system that rewarded
successful warriors
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_sacrifice_in_Aztec_culture
And yet these visions of grandeur, of order
and harmonious organisation, only seemed to make
the religious practices of the Aztecs all the
more startling. Led to the summit of a
sacrificial pyramid, captive men and women were
habitually slaughtered, their hearts torn out
still beating, their bodies tumbled back down the
bloodied steps which they had just ascended.
These corpses would then be carefully dismembered
