A Response to CFWB

The question was asked:

So why are we fed all these grand ideas about how recycling will save the world? Turning old paper into new paper makes more pollution than killing trees? Trees take a while to grow back. And where are they farmed? And why does farming trees make it all better?

in the comment section of a previous post called "Chinese Funded Welfare Bribe." It's a good enough question to answer in a post, so here goes.

We are fed all these grand ideas about recycling, as well as the multitude of lies about why we need to for the sake of our environment, because the string-pullers gain power by doing so.It's about control. Think about it. Every time congress passes a law, the government's power grows. More laws to enforce means more money going to them means less money we have, less personal freedoms we have... they take from us every time they do these things. It's good to outlaw insurance fraud scams and murder and all that, but that should be the end of it. If you sing and dance and convince people of a lie like recycling, that isn't the end. It's the beginning. First we are wasting time and energy to create an entire unnecessary industry (follow the money, the golden rule of unraveling politics), and before you know it we have an entire nation hoodwinked into thinking that man made global warming is real.

I mean, really, think about it. What more evidence do you need that this lie is one giant hoax than the fact that the biggest guy pushing it... once claimed to have invented the INTERNET!!! He didn't, you know. He did, however, inherit his fortune- with which he flies around everywhere in private jets, huge "pollution" there, and owns a mansion that uses more "dirty" energy in a month than my upscale neighborhood cul-de-sac uses in half a year- from his daddy, who was a big-time coal baron. I am curious, did Al Gore ever plant any trees from his vast, inherited, coal-fortune to help "offset" all that carbon that his family helped put in the air? I doubt it. But he did make a cool million from that peace prize he won for his work about global warming... figure that one out.

Hey, I have an idea. Pop quiz for Al Moss-Beard! Three questions: Why is the sky blue? Why does the planet have four seasons? What has caused global cooling in the past, before humans were around?

Think he'd pass?

Why am I the only one asking these questions about Mr. Gore, by the way? Why isn't anyone on CNN or Fox News? Probably because the so-called environmentalists have so brainwashed the masses- starting with recycling!- that we just take this environmentalist crap as gospel whenever we hear it. Humans bad, destroying planet, I believe, no need to question, yea... Aaaanyway.

If you put a frog in water in a pot, room temperature, then turn on the stove and bring the water to a slow boil, that frog will not realize what has happened. He will stay and be boiled to death. The exact same is true with people losing their freedoms, and we are losing them. We have been for longer than I have been alive. It starts with something like a lie about how we're supposedly running out of landfill space, then we're all recycling, then it grows to global warming, the biggest joke of science EVER, and before you know it... legislators in Commie-fornia are actually proposing to give the state control of every house's thermostat. Yes, that really did happen. Did you read about it? Under that proposed law, you would no longer have the power to set your thermostat as you please, the local government could control it via remote control for you. Is that not a loss of freedom?

I sure hope you don't have a kid who has asthma and a cold. Oh, I'm sure there would be a exception-requisition form to apply for, with a little box to fill out where you could explain that little Johnny just isn't going to do well in a house that is only sixty-eight degrees, you could attach a doctor's note (hope there isn't socialized medicine at this point!) and maybe they'd eventually let you move it up to seventy-two degrees. But how much time do you think that giant mess of red tape would take? You know the local government runs the DMV right? Have you ever heard a Commie-fornian say anything positive about their DMV? Have you ever heard anyone?

All the above is still to mention the government's power growing the more people believe in that crap. You know the solution the Democrats have for global warming? Fines! Taxes! Fees! It's all they know, so they figure, hey, we'll just fine companies for polluting. Oh, sure, that will work. It isn't like the companies will pass on these new expenses to the consumer- YOU- and make your life harder because you have to pay more for the same product. And surely companies will somehow magically stop polluting because they're being taxed, right? Well.. no, no, no... I don't think so. I know one thing that will happen though: more money will suddenly be going to congress via taxes. That means that we have less money/freedom, and they get more money/power, right? Can I please stop beating this dead horse now?

No? Well then let me point out that every mentally retarded European nation that has signed on to the Kyoto accords has failed to reduce their "carbon footprint," since it's impossible to do so and stay afloat economically, and always just end up paying fines to the UN. That comes from their citizens' taxes, you know.

Moving on, the next thing you know, Miranda rights are right out the window, and the government now has the unfettered "right" to send their goons into our houses any time they wish, on a whim, with no repercussions for having no good reason to afterwards. They'll start small scale, maybe just raiding the guy who turns his heat up to ninety degrees, how dare he? In fact, things like that are already happening- WACO anyone? Or WACO pt. 2? Think it can't happen? IT ALREADY IS!

Fifty years ago it would have been ludicrously laughable that anyone, ANYONE would propose that the state control our household thermostats via remote control. Can you imagine anyone in a suit and hat like they wore in the late fifties, sipping his martini, proposing that thermostat law with a straight face? Such an idea would have made even Michael Corleone crack a smile. Yet, here we are. The question you're not asking that you should is: what will things be like fifty years from now?

You know... Hitler didn't throw the Jews and Christians in the camps the first day he took office. He sneaked it up on people over time, like the boiling frog. Only he didn't boil anyone, he baked them in an oven. I'm sure, at the time of his election, though, most Germans thought it could never happen to them.

I repeat: it all starts small: hey, let's recycle, it's good for the planet! The seed is planted, watered, and the lie grows. It ends with you and your children in a "re-education" camp if you don't pull that weed out by the roots. That's why I do what I do.



To address the rest of the question, people say that we "save trees" when we recycle paper as if we were going to run out. That's like saying we will run out of cows because I eat steak. Bzzzt! Wrong! I'm sorry, but thanks for playing. Cows grow back, and so do trees. The time it takes is irrelevant, because these giant tree farms (a big one is located in WA state, just so you know), go by plots. So! By the time the tree cutters have farmed the last plot, the first plot they cut, and replanted, is full of trees that are fully grown again. And by the time they finish with that plot, the second will be ready (if it isn't already), and so forth. The importance of our ability to farm trees means that we will not run out of them, despite the lies you hear. Am I moving too fast for you? Hopefully not, because I also must mention that, yes, recycling paper is an industrial process. A difficult one. Industrial processes "pollute." So there you go, tree-hugger. Sorry to burst your bubble. I should also mention that these tree farms would be devoid of trees all together had we not decided to farm any. That's right! That means that, because we eventually cut these trees down for paper and such, there are actually MORE trees in the world!

I won't get into the fact that trees produce a small amount of the world's oxygen, and that something around 80% is produced by... oh wait! I'm not telling!

DO NOT BUY THE LIES THEY TELL TO STEAL YOUR FREEDOM!
