"Environmental Militant" or "Eco-Terrorist"?

The left-leaning US media calls James J. Lee an "enviromental militant". What a peculiar phrase.

The British tabloid calls him for what he is, an "eco-terrorist". Thank you, Daily Mail.

I took a look at this guy's "manifesto", couldn't get past the fifth word of the text when I encountered a spelling error. It's "its", Mr. Lee, not "it's"!

Whatever happened to "global warming" anyway?

Telegraph UK's James Delingpole who busted open the "climategate" writes:

James Lee is Al Gore is Prince Charles is the Unabomber (9/2/2010 Telegraph UK)

"Al Gore’s Church of Climatism has claimed a new glorious martyr. His name is James Lee – the Discovery channel attempted eco-suicide-bomber – and if he’d had his way he wouldn’t have been the only one who ended up in the great recycling bin in the sky. That’s because, as far as the late James Lee was concerned, humans like the innocent Discovery channel employees he held hostage are the scum of the earth.

"Just read some of the manifesto he posted on the internet and see for yourself:

The humans? The planet does not need humans.

You MUST KNOW the human population is behind all the pollution and problems in the world, and YET you encourage the exact opposite instead of discouraging human growth and procreation. Surely you MUST ALREADY KNOW this!

"Does this sound like the ravings of a sad, deranged loner on the wilder fringes of eco-fascist lunacy? Not to me it doesn’t. Strip away the block capitals and what you have, word for word, is the core manifesto of the entire global green movement.

"...What’s really depressing is that the philosophy expressed in James Lee’s (and the Unabomber’s) manifesto – which is also, incidentally, the philosophy expressed in Al Gore’s The Earth In Balance – is also the philosophy that is taught every day to our children in their schools: the world is fragile; human beings are a blot on the landscape; through our greed and selfishness we make everything worse; really it would be better if we vanished altogether and let all the lovely pure noble animals take over.

"It’s time we woke up to the threat posed by this mass brainwashing of the younger generation. We worry, rightly, about those Muslim children who are being indoctrinated with the extreme Wahaabist version of their faith. Yet we seem astonishingly complacent that every day, in schools of every kind throughout the Western world, our children are being taught by well-meaning teachers to view their world and culture through exactly the same anti-capitalist, anti-human, anti-growth eyes as James Lee and the Unabomber.

"The modern environmental movement is not kind, caring or gentle. It is a series of ticking time bombs waiting to blow up in our face." [Emphasis is mine. For the entire article, follow the link above.]

"Does this sound like the ravings of a sad, deranged loner on the wilder fringes of eco-fascist lunacy? Not to me it doesn’t. "

Not to me either. I've met one too many, otherwise gentle and well-meaning adults who earnestly believe forced sterilization and forced abortion are the excellent ideas to "save the planet" (whatever that means). I've also met one too many children who tell me "people are bad" (particularly the white, male kind) because "they destroy the planet". They eagerly tell me that's what their teachers tell them at school (so that must be right).
