Who Sucks?
The Sierra Club and Greenpeace, or "Urban Idiots in Nature"
Irony: The very same people who's endless growth policies have enriched themselves while killing our natural environment have a club where they claim their love for nature: The Sierra Club. And Greenpeace. Yeah, sure. Just keep saying that it's "green," drive your worthless electric yuppie cars, and keep growing those massive urban death traps, idiots.
As soon as they stop supporting the source of the problem, endless irresponsible growth, these organizations can start contributing real solutions. Right now, they are less than worthless.
I've got some Sierra Club stories that will come out down the trail...Just be warned that both Greenpeace and The Sierra Club are "corporate greeens," and will trip over their own lips talking about how irresponsible growth is "green," and how good it is for us. Yeah, Sure.
Forty years of unrestrained, irresponsible growth has already drained our natural resources and driven seasonal changes that have irrvocably changed the Sierras, and the damage is accelerating.
Open your damn-fool eyes.
This ridiclous system of political corruption and environmental destruction does not represent our fundamental ethical values, it has failed politically and collapsed economically, and these policies of irresponsible growth and greed long long ago failed our environment.
The Sierra Club and Greenpeace have put green lipstick on this stinking pig, and call it a cute pony... Greenpeace and the Sierra Club are nothing more than Corporate Phonies who make themselves feel good while never addressing the fundamental issues that have driven, and are still driving, the ecological disaster we are experiencing.
Greenpeace and the Sierra Club are arranging the deck chairs, serving drinks, playing music, and making sure all the urban yuppie passengers on the Titanic feel green as the ship goes down.
John Muir (and George Washington) are spinning in their graves!
The Bottom Line
We ravaged our democracy, and have subsequently savaged our natural environment. It's time to stop the one to save the other. Both demand your service.
Stop deluding yourself!
We already have a country full of fake "patriots' and fake "environmentalists," who's actions and beliefs define them as nothing more than deluded consumers of a corporate empire. Oh, but they are "green" consumers, and "patriot" consumers, and both are less than worthless...they are fakes.
They color themselves green while feeding the urban growth machine that threatens both our environment and our rights.
Wearing an American Flag or a Sierra Club emblem on your lapel does not alter your identity or position as an urban consumer idiot one iota. A consumer has no political or natural identity, and we don't need creatures of that nature in our country or the backcountry.
Only your Beliefs put into Action can define you as an real advocate and defender of our democratic system, as well as our natural environment. The front lines of this fight are ending the demographic growth that has stripped the resources and altered the environment of our nation, then taking back our democratic institutions from the wealthy and powerful interests that have captured them.
Without taking back our democracy, our chances of saving America's environment and resources are virtually nill. Without stopping our out of control demographic growth, the corporate interests are going to finish stripping the land.
Our environment's fate, its very life or death is currently controlled by the corporations and their "green" minions. The Sierra Club and Greenpeace support the corporate state's endless growth policies. They are sell-outs to the corporate system.
They are the corporate greens.
The energy industry is gearing up right now for a major campaign of drilling and fracking to feed this never-ending irresponsible growth.
These two fundamental goals, stopping growth and restoring our democracy, represent our only logical strategy for restoring America's environment and Democracy. One cannot live without the other, and both are currently on life support in the ICU.
Radical Redneck
Some call me a "redneck," others a "radical." I don't care. I clearly see the trail leading to the restoration of our rights and resources requires the best elements of both.
The trail back to restoring our country's physical and ethical qualities crosses terrain that offers the best use of each quality, of Redneck and Radical, to those few who truly seek this noble and just destination.
The Redneck will preserve what few resources we still have left, while the radical will call us back to our original democratic principals.
Greenpeace and the Sierra Club will do neither, and both are working hard to allow our natural environment to be finished off by our rapidly swelling population while they make the urban consumer masses feel "green."
They treat nature like it is a ride at Disneyland.
It is far past the time that honest Americans should have stepped forward to put aside the false god of endless growth fueling our insatable greed, take away control of our government from the businessmen, and restore the democratic soveregnity of the citizen.
Then we can rebuild our middle class...
This will allow the wisdom of our citizens to balance our society out between themselves and with nature, based on the general welfare of our country, rather than the profits of the corporations. This is the only way we will be able to rescue our fundamental political principals, and the few remaining tattered pieces of our natural environment.
And rescue what remains of our access to medicine, to retirement, and decent wages while trying to preserve the last remnants of nature... time is getting very short.
Our corrupted corporate "leadership," and our corrupted corporate "greens" are insufficient for the gravity of the tasks we face.
They are more concerned with feeding their fat consumer faces than preserving natural places. The Sierra Club and Greenpeace are holding hands singing kumbiah, as our natural environment is burning around them.
These organizations are sutable for making consumers of a corporate state feel good, feel "green," but both are completely insufficient for the defense of our environment.
If we continue as we have, our corporate masters, the corporate greens, their Armies of Lobbyists, and their throughly bribed and dishonorable Democratic and Republican Minions are going to finish off our environment, just has they have already finished off our democracy.
