Eco-Extremist Wants World Population to Drop below 1 Billion

Note: Obviously, the Paul Watson featured in this article and the Paul Watson of Prison Planet are different people. In addition, Alex Jones of Prison Planet is not a Harvard professor, a New York Times writer or a football player.

 

Apparently, saving the whales is more important than saving 5.5 billion people. Paul Watson, founder and president of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and famous for militant intervention to stop whalers, now warns mankind is “acting like a virus” and is harming Mother Earth.

 

Watson’s May 4 editorial asked the question “The Beginning of the End for Life as We Know it on Planet Earth?” Then he left no doubt about the answer. “We are killing our host the planet Earth,” he claimed and called for a population drop to less than 1 billion.

 

The commentary reminded readers that Watson had called humans a disease before and he wasn’t sorry. “I was once severely criticized for describing human beings as being the ‘AIDS of the Earth.’ I make no apologies for that statement,” the column continued.

 

Watson was invoking the worst of Robert Malthus, an English political economist who claimed that mankind was overpopulating the earth. That claimed first appeared in the late 1700s. Watson urged some solutions for mankind as part of a process to “need to re-wild the planet”:

 

· “No human community should be larger than 20,000 people and separated from other communities by wilderness areas.” New York, London, Paris, Moscow are all too big. Then again, so are Moose Jaw, Timbuktu and even Annapolis, Md.

 

· “We need vast areas of the planet where humans do not live at all and where other species are free to evolve without human interference.”

 

· “We need to radically and intelligently reduce human populations to fewer than one billion.”

 

· “Sea transportation should be by sail. The big clippers were the finest ships ever built and sufficient to our needs. Air transportation should be by solar powered blimps when air transportation is necessary.”

 

· At least Watson was generous and said people could still talk with one another across great distances. “Communication systems can link the communities,” he proclaimed from on high.

 

The Watson rant kept on going calling for everything from cutting down on the population of domesticated dogs and cats to cutting down on everything else in what he called “simplify, simplify, simplify.”

 

Watson essentially called for humans to return to primitive lifestyles. “We need to stop flying, stop driving cars, and jetting around on marine recreational vehicles. The Mennonites survive without cars and so can the rest of us.”

 

 

That's the plan people, serious.....^ here's someone else to add to the long line of people who would love a mass human cull.

how to avoid defeat when truth x&y fiction meet these are THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND

 

Sounds/reads a bit like Michael Crichton's State Of Fear novel, I emphasise the word A Bit with a splash of Dan Brown's Angels And Demons x&y the Illuminati; no spoilers please as I'm 2/5th through the book x&y I'm a slow scatterbrain mild A.D.D. like reader who reads many books at once.

So we can't concentrate human population in small locations, in effect spreading it across a very wide area, and then we are supposed to leave large areas uninhabited? Umm, okay. :thinking:

It's not him who thinks there needs to be a sharp decline in the world population to make it stable again, I believe James Lovehart does as well.

^you mean "It's not JUST him"...right??

 

 

If so, yes....there are many people who have been caught saying such things.

 

At University of Texas (UT) - Dr. Pinaka said that an Airborne version of the ebola virus would be a good way to kill 90%. There were few people at the meeting who claimed he said things and students then said he'd mentioned it to them in class on occasions.

 

However, he denies saying it - by most people probably would deny such things if someone blabbed about it.

We need to radically and intelligently reduce human populations to fewer than one billion.

 

absolutely ridiculous. the idea, interesting; his ways of applying them, crazy.

aiming to drop the population to a sixth its current size is mind-puzzling. yes we are becoming overpopulated but dropping down that much is unnecessary and insane. it's got extermination all over it.

 

Sea transportation should be by sail. The big clippers were the finest ships ever built and sufficient to our needs. Air transportation should be by solar powered blimps when air transportation is necessary.

 

he essentially wants us to stop and fast-reverse back to primitive times.

that is never going to happen. we're going to keep moving forward. it's in our nature as humans to keep pushing the limit, but this guy has obviously had it.

he needs help and fast. crazy i say again.
