The “green” movement is upon us, and gaining ground fast. Like a carelessly disguised wolf in a field of walleyed sheep, this so-called eco-friendly solution to the planet’s woes is anything but. Why? Evidently, it’s a matter of semantics.

Going green – what exactly does that mean? Well, for some it means installing plastic grass. Excuse me, polyethylene.

Happened to watch a CBS profile of celebrity environmentalist Ed Begley, and learned that he satisfied his wife’s desire for lawn by installing the fake stuff, specifically this product, according to his website’s FAQ.

For others it means using ink that is made with soy, 90% of which has been genetically engineered in a lab.

Soy Ink: The choice for many natural/eco brands to dye clothing, use for books, product packaging, and even print magazines and newspapers, soy ink is most often made from GM [genetically engineered] soybeans. Ink is highly absorbable through the skin, so make sure to wash your hands after reading the Sunday paper.

Others contend that nuclear energy is the safest, friendliest, “greenest” energy on the planet – just ask the folks living next to Fukushima in Japan about that one, I’m sure they’ll agree. That is, just as soon as they are allowed to go back home after the radiation is gone. Just how long does it take for radiation to dissipate anyway?

As of February 2012, the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant is still leaking radiation and areas surrounding it could remain uninhabitable for decades due to high radiation. It could take “more than 20 years before residents could safely return to areas with current radiation readings of 200 millisieverts per year, and a decade for areas at 100 millisieverts per year”.

And evidently, people living in the country are not “green.” Yes, that’s right. The Green Agenda advocates human CAFOs (concentrated animal feeding operations) in the form of stack and pack housing in what is termed “Smart Cities.”

A Smart City is an environment where literally everything you do and say can and will be monitored because everything and everyone will be attached to a complex grid of sensors and wireless networks, with your particular Smart City acting as the platform on which the grid is maintained.

Since stack and pack works so well for animals, why not humans? After all, sickness and disease from living so close together while consuming artificial food in an artificial environment with only a few square feet to live in is not a problem, just pump everyone full of antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals just like animals. In fact, the required doses could even be put in the water supply, along with drugs to alleviate the stress of being crammed like sardines in a completely artificial – sorry, I meant “green” – environment.

Hey, I can’t wait to throw away every naturally produced plant on the planet, replace them with genetically engineered plant-like organisms, move into a smart city that is supplied with nuclear energy, plastic grass, and genetically engineered eco-friendly soy ink that is absorbed into your skin when you read the morning news. I can’t wait to pay to drink my own urine – sorry, purified waste water  – while “green” mega-corporations pollute the water around me with toxic sludge from belching smokestacks. If the new “green” movement has its way, that is exactly what will be happening. After all, we want to save the planet, don’t we? I’ve got a suggestion. Why don’t all the people who support this so-called “green” movement all move in together in one of these Smart Cities, and take all of their plastic, GMOs, and radiation with them and leave the rest of us alone.

Going green used to mean going back to nature. That means taking care of what is around you in an eco-friendly way. NOT using a ton of plastic, NOT supporting a form of energy that has the potential to devastate the planet for eternity, and NOT designing our food and ink in a genetics laboratory! This is not green. This is insanity with a green paint job.

    seakat, the thorium is in minute amounts in a lot of sands.
    the odd thing is the so called green…tech of wind turbnines use round 2 tonnes+ of rare earth minerals to make the magnets in the motors. and PV cells also use some RE.
    the thorium is already found in tace amounts in the sand they refine.
    presently its discarded. far far better to process it out and be using it.
    thorium plants USE the waste generated and them wasted by conventional plants and process it to a stage where its UNuseable to anyone with nasty intentions, ie no waste to make dirty bombs or pollue or use for DU weapons insted of having to dump/store it.
    I always was against Nuke due to the fuku factor.(and before)
    info on thorium made me re-consider that.

    re the fake grass:-0 seems a whole pile of USA sports areas are U/S and banned for use due to arsenic? lead used In the plastic in the colurants. seems it leaches with sunlight aging and wear.
    epic fail.
    our idiot school board just cost our town millions to lay an astroturf oval to save water..right before a very wet year and floods. the kids hate it, the areas hot and horrible not cool and nice to be on like the old grass was. would take decades for the fuel water maintenance cost to even appraoch the money wasted on it.

    re human Cafos.. yeah prior proof of illness stress and violence in all human communities jam packed is ignored for so called green ideology..keep the plebs in line and in place. ban all citizens from any rural areas to hide the real ruin from mega farms and cafos and chem use. stopping people using natural areas seems to be all the go, while its shown areas denuded of human use tend to have really nifty fire and weed etc issues .
    heres a topper.
    in Aus, Victoria, they have BANNED anyone catching Yabbies(small freshwater crustaceans) and eating them directly.
    seems they Could….(never ever any reported harm in 200years!!!)
    be a health issue from gut bacteria..so?
    now every waterhole must have a shed built to store them for 48hrs, to starve them and clean their gut out. with potable water broughtin from elsewhere as the water they live in, we drink and bathe in..is also unsafe?
    authorities will fine people for not complying.
    this will mean kids etc will stop bothering with some of the tastiest tucker for free, and mega farms will take over and make the price unaffordable for the locals etc.
    like prawns they are Boiled before eating..there IS NO risk. not one reported illness ever.

    But thorium still has to be mined. No one has yet to explain to me how any form of mining can be clean.

  3. pat says:

    I agree that uranium reactors are very dangerous; however, thorium as a radioactive fuel source is completely safe. In the event of an accident, a thorium reactor automatically nuetralizes radioactive spills by combining the melted core with salts in a mechanical process that requires no computer monitoring or oversight. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/fin.....orium.html If fukashima had thorium reactors, there would be no radiation contamination whatsoever.

    Other sources of power that easily surpass every current energy source in cost and safety are Mills Black Light Power, Bearden’s MEG energy from space, and Cold Fusion. These technologies could be implemented today but are being suppressed for the obvious reason that they would do away with the monopoly transnational corps. have on oil — and throw a wrench in their economic eugenics programs.
