James Lee broke into the headquarters of the Discovery Channel just outside of Washington, D.C. yesterday, wearing bombs strapped to his body. He took three hostages. He was killed by police. He was demanding that the nature channel change its programming. Here are excerpts from his Manifesto:
2. All programs on Discovery Health-TLC must stop encouraging the birth of any more parasitic human infants and the false heroics behind those actions. In those programs’ places, programs encouraging human sterilization and infertility must be pushed. All former pro-birth programs must now push in the direction of stopping human birth, not encouraging it. . . .
4. Civilization must be exposed for the filth it is. That, and all its disgusting religious-cultural roots and greed. Broadcast this message until the pollution in the planet is reversed and the human population goes down! . . .
5. Immigration: Programs must be developed to find solutions to stopping ALL immigration pollution and the anchor baby filth that follows that. Find solutions to stopping it. Call for people in the world to develop solutions to stop it completely and permanently. Find solutions FOR these countries so they stop sending their breeding populations to the US and the world to seek jobs and therefore breed more unwanted pollution babies. FIND SOLUTIONS FOR THEM TO STOP THEIR HUMAN GROWTH AND THE EXPORTATION OF THAT DISGUSTING FILTH! (The first world is feeding the population growth of the Third World and those human families are going to where the food is! They must stop procreating new humans looking for nonexistant jobs!)
6. Find solutions for Global Warming, Automotive pollution, International Trade, factory pollution, and the whole blasted human economy. Find ways so that people don’t build more housing pollution which destroys the environment to make way for more human filth! Find solutions so that people stop breeding
as well as stopping using Oil in order to REVERSE Global warming and the destruction of the planet!
7. Develop shows that mention the Malthusian sciences about how food production leads to the overpopulation of the Human race. Talk about Evolution. Talk about Malthus and Darwin until it sinks into the stupid people’s brains until they get it!!
8. Saving the Planet means saving what’s left of the non-human Wildlife by decreasing the Human population. That means stopping the human race from breeding any more disgusting human babies! You’re the media, you can reach enough people. It’s your resposibility because you reach so many minds!!!
We don’t just have to worry about Islamic terrorism. There are other kinds of fanatics who are totally possessed with an idea and whose self-righteousness is so exalted that they are willing to kill what they consider “human filth.” This is just another kind of jihad–call it eco-jihad–a holy war that finds salvation in slaughtering non-believers.
In this case, notice the alliance between radical environmentalism and hostility to even legal immigration. Notice the revulsion against children, which is surely at the essence of the pro-abortion, anti-life mentality. Also the revulsion against civilization, human beings, and, doubtless, himself.
In the current spiritual and cultural climate, expect more of this.
MORE THOUGHTS: I know that this man and his ideas will be dismissed as deranged. Of course he was insane, lacking a normal sensibility. But his insanity consisted largely in taking certain current ideas and being consistent in acting on them.
It is possible to believe as an intellectual conviction that the earth is heading for a global warming catastrophe and that the world is overpopulated, while still having three children, driving them around in your SUV, and living a normal life. Insanity would be acting consistently on those beliefs, to the point of trying to wipe out the human population. It is also possible to be a devout Muslim without being so consistent as to become a suicide bomber. Or to be a nihilist without killing yourself.
Christians too are not immune from fanatic madness. It is possible to believe that America is under God’s judgment without the mad and evil reaction of picketing the funerals of slain servicemen. Or to believe that the majority of people are reprobate sinners without hating and mistreating your neighbors.
At the same time, those who formulate the foolish ideologies and the twisted theologies do bear responsibility for setting off their followers who take them too seriously.
I do think Christians who believe in the doctrine of vocation tend to be immune from this syndrome, since vocation grounds one solidly in normal life.
SPEAKING OF WHICH, be sure to tune in this weekend for this blog’s celebration of Labor Day with a VOCATION EXTRAVAGANZA.
