Jeremiah?

By Pascal Fervor

Believe me yet? How compliant with your own murder do you wish to be? Just how comfortable can you be when a scientist is lauded for megalomaniacally advocating the murderous elimination of 90% of the earth's population?

My friend and colleague Fran Porretto has compared my tone with Jeremiah. For those who don't know, Jeremiah was the prophet in the Old Testament who predicted the destruction of the first Jewish temple should the then inhabitants of Jerusalem continue to fail their faith. He was lamentably unheeded and scorned, but he was right. The Jews failed, their temple destroyed, and they suffered generations in captivity by the Babylonian Empire.

But they, for the most part, lived. That is not what Professor Pianka and his wildly approving audience expect you to do. To be kind to the planet earth, they wish you to die.

For heavens sake (no pun intended), I have not been calling for you people to rely on the supernatural as Jeremiah did, or even in the manner as Fran tends to lean and lead. I have merely pointed to the evidence available to everyone and wondered how so many can remain silent as their own demise looms towards them.

To be frank, Fran is too kind to me and not fair to Jeremiah. I simply lack enough faith in my ability to convey my view to put in the time to demonstrate how all these things have been mounting. I am just not a good engine of compelling writing.

But I have made up lists of questions of what to expect of the leaders of our institutions as we are misled to our own demise, and passed those lists on to others without argument to sustain them. Just rhetorical points.

Then I have relied heavily on Fran in particular (but others too) to put together coherent arguments out of many of those points.

Fran was excellent in his warning series that began with The Convergence of the Death Cults (correctly predicting that the Western Left would be openly supporting terrorists and their aims), and in his character encouraging series All You Can Be (how Western ethics gives meaning to human life).

If Fran's vision was not entirely as my own, at least it provided me with a good reference to which I could point. What must have been shocking to Fran was the lack of interest in the two series. After all his work, the poor response had to be even more appalling to him than it has been depressing to me. Thus the lack of response to my January 27^th plea was not unexpected; but I still had to write it.

And now we have this latest advance of the nihilists, and I have to wonder:

• Do the God-fearing see the assault upon them mounting still more (for their life preserving belief that God will provide as promised in Genesis 22)?

• And God-fearing or not, can the rational, conservative, and truly liberal readers and writers on the Internet remain silent still?

Well?

(Should I get requests, I'll make my latest list of self-destructive institutional expectations available here soon.)
