Ecologist advocates Ebola to exterminate 90% of population

April Fools or a possible Rockefeller grant?<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.atsnn.com/">www.atsnn.com/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>Dr. Eric R. Pianka is also sometimes referred to as Dr. Doom. A recent speech at the Texas Academy of Science during which Dr. Pianka, a world-renowned ecologist, advocated for the extermination of 90 percent of the human species in a most horrible and painful manner demonstrates exactly why this is such a fitting monkier for the ecologist. The video cameras were turned off for Dr. Pianka's speech as the material wasn't 'fit for public consumption.'<br>Posted by: mattison0922 On: Sun April, 2 2006 @ 05:43 GMT <br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.sas.org/tcs/weeklyIssues_2006/2006-04-07/feature1p/index.html">www.sas.org/tcs/weeklyIss...index.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>31 March 2006<br><br>Recently citizen scientist Forrest Mims told me about a speech he heard at the Texas Academy of Science during which the speaker, a world-renowned ecologist, advocated for the extermination of 90 percent of the human species in a most horrible and painful manner. Apparently at the speaker's direction, the speech was not video taped by the Academy and so Forrest's may be the only record of what was said. Forrest's account of what he witnessed chilled my soul. Astonishingly, Forrest reports that many of the Academy members present gave the speaker a standing ovation. To date, the Academy has not moved to sanction the speaker or distance itself from the speaker's remarks.<br><br>If the professional community has lost its sense of moral outrage when one if their own openly calls for the slow and painful extermination of over 5 billion human beings, then it falls upon the amateur community to be the conscience of science.<br><br>Forrest, who is a member of the Texas Academy and chairs its Environmental Science Section, told me he would be unable to describe the speech in The Citizen Scientist because he has protested the speech to the Academy and he serves as Editor of The Citizen Scientist. Therefore, to preclude a possible conflict of interest, I have directed Forrest to describe what he observed and his reactions in this special feature, for which I have served as editor and which is being released a week ahead of our normal publication schedule.

I wonder how many of these scientists would still be applauding at the suggestion that ground zero be next year's gathering?<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 0] --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/alien.gif ALT="0]"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/nerd.gif ALT="8o"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Peter:<br><br>I don't know anything about Above Top Secret, but the story seems genuine. This is a clip from his course synopsis on a UTexas site:<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.zo.utexas.edu/courses/bio213/why.html">www.zo.utexas.edu/courses...3/why.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br><br>If humans do not control their own population (and we seem unwilling and unable to do so), then other forces will certainly act to control our population. The four horseman of the apocalypse (conquest, war, famine, and death) are all candidates. Most likely, lethal virulent microbes like HIV and Ebola zaire will set limits on the growth of human populations. HIV, by allowing infected hosts to survive years while they spread the virus and infect new hosts, has already become a pandemic, but it will be years before it decimates the human population. Although Ebola kills 9 out of 10 people, outbreaks have so far been unable to become epidemics because they are currently spread only by direct physical contact with infected blood. However, a closely related virus that kills monkeys, Ebola reston, is airborne, and it is only a matter of time until Ebola zaire evolves the capacity to be airborne.<br><br>People everywhere today stand ready to rape and pillage their wildernesses ("wastelands") for whatever they can be forced to yield. Raw materials, such as ore, lumber, and even sand (used to make glass), are harvested in vast quantities. Big companies enjoy privileged status, excluding the public from extensive areas, producing great ugly clear cuts, vast deep open pit mines, instant but permanent, man-made mountains, eyesores paying testimony to the avaricious pursuit of timber, precious metals and minerals. Deforestation is nearly complete in many parts of the world. .... (clipped)<br><br><br>I think what's ironic is that if there is an epidemic and a 90% population reduction, the 10% left are going to be the same ones who did all the ecological raping and pillaging he's talking about.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>
