From the Preface

Do you believe everything you read in the newspaper or on TV? Do you even understand it? Do you know the agenda behind news stories?

My guess is that you hope you do. You believe in freedom of the press and want to believe that what you see on TV or read in your local and national papers is an unbiased account of events taking place in our world. Unfortunately, you’ve been deceived. This book of quotes is intended to educate and help you understand that many of the reasonable articles you read daily are just propaganda for a socialist cause. The socialists of today are called environmentalists.

It was these new socialist environmentalist pseudoscientists who created the peer review system. First, a short paragraph about peer review.

“Peer review is a relatively recent innovation in the history of scientific publication. The first journal (which is still in print!) was launched in 1665 by the Royal Society in London, (Phil Trans R Soc B), while peer review as we know of began in the mid 1970s. So how did we get here?” (https://mitcommlab.mit.edu/broad/commkit/peer-review-a-historical-perspective/)

So how did we get here? This is my opinion and only my opinion.

I believe politics started getting involved ever so slowly, and as you will see in some of the quotes below, they took control of who could get published by requiring peer review before publishing. This allowed a choke point on work that was considered unacceptable, and the editors of the various scientific journals slowly gave in to the new environmental movement as it became more radical.

Today, however, it’s become an “environmentalist” scientist’s modes operandi to release untested theories to the media. The media in turn, if the story is sensational enough to sell papers, often print it as fact. And we want to believe. If there is global warming, we should inhibit it. If logging trees is destroying our forest, we want it to stop. It seems reasonable. But it’s not true.

I assembled this book of quotes and have made comments about each quote as a free American. I did so to enlighten you about what I believe the leadership of the extreme left environmental wing of socialism is thinking about you, your children, and the environment. As you read the quotes and explanations, it will become clear that, in short, environmentalists want, more than anything else, to reduce the number of human beings on this planet. That is their goal.

To do this, environmental leaders have cleverly indoctrinated thousands of innocent, well-meaning people (much like Adolph Hitler must have done to the good people of Germany before he became powerful enough to show his true colors) into thinking the earth is being destroyed.

As you read the quotes given by our “environmental leaders,” you will come to realize, as I have, that this leadership doesn’t care about you, your family, or your children’s future. They want to diminish the future of the human race. “People” get in the way of earth’s “natural endangered treasures.” What the environmentalists fail to recognize is that human beings (particularly infants) are also “natural endangered treasures.”

Through their quotes, the message comes through clearly that environmentalists want to destroy people, restrict progress, and reverse industrialization. In short, environmentalists want to eliminate you!

Environmentalist renegades have turned their back on our true scientific community. These renegades, who call themselves “scientists,” make wild statements to attract the media to invoke fear, incite mob reactions, and market their own products.

This book is a compilation of quotes and comments collected by a layman who reads and tries to understand. This is the data that supports my hypothesis. You are my peers. Please review the facts.

What is a coffee-table book? It is intended to be on a coffee table, in a home, and act as a conversation piece. That would be after the owner has read it and if the owner agreed or disagreed and still wanted to talk about the quotes with friends or family. It is intended to start a conversation between people about a particular quote during a conversation of that subject. It could be a conversation starter.

I originally came up with the idea for this short coffee-table book of quotes back in 1993. I filed the quotes and commented on each one myself or added another person’s writing for a few. Most comments are mine.

I have cited almost all the quotes, and anything I say in the comments is my opinion whether it is cited or not. If you disagree with anything I say, you take the time to find your argument. I already satisfied my search for the answers over the eighty-six years of my life.

You will notice a same sentence, statistic, or thought repeated in a few places, that’s not a mistake, it is a point relevant to the quote I’m commenting on.

I’m publishing it today, 2023, and I decided to not rewrite it. While I did tweak it a bit, everything I said back then still applies, and that’s what makes it so interesting to me. These words were said, and most of you never heard it when they were said.

The old saying about knowing our past is provided from ChatGPT:

The old saying about knowing our history is often attributed to the philosopher George Santayana and goes as follows: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” This saying emphasizes the importance of learning from historical events and experiences to avoid making the same mistakes or encountering similar challenges in the future. It highlights the value of studying history as a means of gaining insight, wisdom, and guidance for navigating the present and shaping the future.
