OUR WORLD OF

POLITICIZED SCIENCE

The discussion of « politicized science » is ANATHEMA to the Environ-mental–Terror–Activists, who do notlike it when certain issues are exam-ined that may not be generally known,but need to be explained.

Many deeply held beliefs need to bere–examined.

Many of these beliefs have been en-trenched in our minds for decades byour trust in social policies that has be-come « politicized » with the per-petuation of « junk science », and theuse of coercion through « environmental terrorism ».

In our world, the « politicization » of

science occurs when Environmental–Terror–Activists use economic or legalpressures to influence public policy.

In many cases, Environmental–Ter-ror–Activists Policies spread to certainportions of the population, such as theGreen Space Industry.

Policies of Environmental–Terror oftenlead to business failures, bankrupt-

cies, unemployment, despair, and des-titution.

The depraved indifference of Environ-mental–Terror–Activists has even led

to DEATH ― on a MASSIVE scale.

« Politicized science » has triumphed

whenever politics have outweighedscientific fact.

« Politicized science » has prevailedwhen measures were taken that oftenhad little basis in fact or « sound sci-ence ».

It is now common knowledge that theworld of « politicized science » DE-MONIZED one of the most impressivechemicals of the Twentieth Century ―

DDT.

We are told that the current array of modern and conventional pest controlproducts used by the Green Space In-dustry MAY create the problems onceencountered with the likes of DDT.

This is false !

The Green Space Industry needs to

remind the public of the many MIS-CONCEPTIONS concerning DDT.

The public needs to be given a realitycheck on this matter.

REMOVING DDT ―

AN EXAMPLE OF

DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE

The removal of DDT from the worldmarket is a good example where so-cial politics were implemented basedupon « junk science ».



The measures that were urged for theremoval of DDT had LITTLE BASIS infact or science.

DDT had to be eliminated in order to« save » the environment ― a movethat was self–serving and under–handed by Environmental–Terror–Ac-tivists.

The fact that millions of people werehurt and killed with the removal of DDT has been ignored, since, sadly,

the « saving » of the environment ap-peared to be a cause that was greaterthan any human suffering.

Some observers have described thisas a form of « depraved indifference », and even « eco–manslaughter »,by Environmental–Terror–Activists.

A classic example of « depraved indifference » by Enviro–Terror–Activists

was displayed in 1971, during Con-gressional testimony before the U.S.

House Committee on Agriculture. Thediscussion focused on the chemical al-ternatives to DDT.

The alternatives may have been moreacceptable to Enviro–Terror–Activists,but they were truly UNSAFE for use byapplicators, such as farm workers.

The response from Enviro–Terror–

Activists was SHOCKING !

The following statement was attrib-uted to an executive of the Environ-mental Defense Fund, a U.S. Environ-mental–Terror–Organization ―

« It doesn’t make a lot of difference because the organophosphate [ alter-native ] acts locally and only kill [ sic ]farm workers, and most of them are Mexicans and Negroes . »

FACTS ABOUT DDT

The following nine statements chal-lenge the « politicized science » that

DEMONIZED DDT.

These statements are examined in de-tail in other reports.

Many deeply held beliefs about DDTneed to be re–examined ―

1. Things were NOT better before DDT.

2. DDT was a pretty good product.

3. DDT saved countless lives.

4. The turf industry embraced DDT.

5. The environmental effect of DDTwas contradictory.

6. The effect of DDT on birds wasexaggerated.

7. Removing DDT was politically

motivated.

8. The removal of DDT led to thedeath of millions.

9. DDT is back again today.



Just Another Piece of

Anti–DDT Propaganda

BASELESS ATTACKS

AGAINST DDT

November 16 t h , 2010

HealthFactsAndFears.com

Selected and adapted excerpts

DDT was banned in the Uni ted Sta tes since 1972 as part of a world–wide cam-paign against the pesticide ― a crusade that has perversely ( and we presumeunintentionally ) been responsible for the loss of mill ions of African children from PREVENTABLE MALARIA DEATHS .

But the « excellent powder » is now being blamed for THINNING CONDOR EGGS

in Cal i fo rn ia ―

well,ONE OR TWO EGGS

, anyway.

Writing in The New York Times, John Moir reports that biologists with theVentana Wild l i fe Society suspect a handful of breeding pairs in Big Sur [ in

the Central California Coast ] have been eating dead sea lions contaminated by the pesticide.



There’s NO KNOWN SOURCE of DDT near Big Sur , but the biologists SPECULATE

the sea lions could have been contaminated from ocean deposits off the Coast

of Los Angeles , where Montrose Chemical Corp. released tons of DDT into thesewer system in the 1950s and 60s .

According to Dr. Gi lber t Ross of the American Counci l on Science and Health

( ACSH ) ―

[ The report is ] thoroughly hysterical ― baseless.

I don’t even know what to cal l i t.

I t’s not even an article ― what would you say when someone ismusing in The New York Times science section about DDT harmingcondors without any evidence ?

And it’s not just idle musing ― as the end result will be that MORE THIRD WORLD CHILDREN WILL DIE OF MALARIA.

[ Dr. Gilbert Ross is the Executive Director and Medical Director of theAmerican Council on Science and Health ( ACSH ), a consumer education–

public health organization. He received his undergraduate degree in Chem-istry from Cornell University’s School of Arts and Sciences in 1968, and re-ceived his M.D. from the N.Y.U. School of Medicine in 1972. ]

According to Dr. Josh Bloom of the American Counci l on Science and Health

( ACSH ) ―

A nonsensical screed.

DDT is essential ly NON–TOXIC.

In fact, it takes about four times as much DDT as caffeine to cause fatalities in rodents.

Hardly the deadly poison that this article portrays it as.

[ Screed is a long monotonous speech or piece of writing. ]



[ Dr. Josh Bloom is the Associate Director of the American Council on Sci-ence and Health ( ACSH ), a consumer education–public health organization.Bloom is an organic chemist, and has worked in the pharmaceutical industryfor about twenty years. ]

Dr. Ross says studies purporting to show DDT thins birds’ egg–shells wereFLAWED; those birds were deficient in calcium, and when fed a proper diet, laidSOLID eggs.

According to Dr. Ross ―

I t ’s just another piece of anti–DDT propaganda ― but it’s IN TheNew York Times.

Bird eggs were allegedly affected

by DDT bioaccumulation ?!?!

It looks like someone simply brokethem with a stick ― what do you think ?



FALSE ALLEGATIONS CONCERNING DDT

The Green Space Industry needs to remind the public that it does not routinely killbirds during the course of its activities.

And neither did DDT.

Allegedly, DDT harmed bird reproduction by thinning their egg–shells.

This seemingly led to the decline of the Bald Eagle and the Peregrine Falcon.

No doubt, the placement of these birds on endangered lists was a strong factorleading to the U.S. removal of DDT.

Read the next segments, and formulate your own conclusions about the EXAG-GERATED EFFECTS of DDT on birds, and our world of JUNK SCIENCE.

THE ALLEGED EFFECT OF DDT ON B IRDS

Beginning in the 1950s, DDT was used on a massive scale to control the insectvectors of the Dutch Elm Disease, as well as the larvae of the Gypsy Moth and theSpruce Budworm.

Wherever DDT was used, some consequences were observed ― this usually in-volving a noticeable reduction in bird activity, or a change in their habits.

Some people commented that a reduction in bird activity after an application of DDT could mean several things.

Using DDT would remove a food source from the birds.

This would lead to the birds flying elsewhere for food.

It would not necessarily mean that DDT was killing birds.



THE D ISGRACEFUL AND M ISLEADING WURSTER ARTICLE

In 1965, an article was repeated in each of the magazines Ecology and Scienceregarding the alleged death of certain bird species following DDT applications forDutch Elm Disease in Hanover, New Hampshire.

The author was Charles Frederick Wurster Junior.

Wurster claimed that ―

« Severe mortality of both resident and migrant birds occurred in Hanover during

spring 1963, and the evidence IMPLICATES DDT as its cause . »

This was not necessarily an exhaustive study ― it was merely a visual compari-son between Hanover and Norwich, Vermont.

Norwich itself was never sprayed with DDT.

A mere 151 dead birds were found in Hanover, 10 in Norwich, and the feedinghabits of some birds APPEARED changed.

Incredibly, the dead birds were not always analyzed for traces of DDT.

Obviously, DDT was held accountable !

WHO WAS CHARLES FREDERICK WURSTER JUNIOR ?

The disgraceful and misleading article discussed in the preceding segment was co–written by Enviro–Maniac Charles Frederick Wurster Junior.

Wurster eventually became a co–founder and « volunteer scientist » for the Envi-ronmental Defense Fund ( EDF ) beginning in 1967.

EDF was the Environmental–Terror–Organization that instigated a major conspir-acy campaign against DDT.

However, the intentions of this organization may not have been pure–at–heart.



U.S. Enviro–Maniac

Charles F. Wurster Junior

grinned like the Cheshire Cat

DAMNING STATEMENT FROM WURSTER

On October 5th, 1969, Enviro–Maniac Charles Frederick Wurster Junior made thefollowing damning statement in the Seattle Times ―

« If the environmentalists win on DDT, they will achieve, and probably retain in other environmental issues, A LEVEL OF AUTHORITY THEY HAVE NEVER HAD BE- FORE. In a sense, then, much more is at stake than DDT . »

Clearly, some Environmental–Terror–Organizations used DDT as a means to IN-CREASE THEIR POWER.

There may never have been a bird issue !



WHERE WERE THE DEAD BIRDS ?

In fact, there appear to be NO valid scientific reports of « birds falling out of the sky and bird carcasses littering the countryside » following the application of DDT.

Did birds really fall out of the sky

during the « DDT years » ? No way !!!

Let’s not forget that during the « DDT years » ( 1941–1972 ), approximately1,350,000,000 pounds of DDT was used domestically in the United States.

If the Environmental–Terror–Movement was correct about DDT and its effect onbirds, where were the thousands of dead bodies ?

We are not the only people that have noticed this !

So did Michael Crichton.



The restrictions on the use of DDT has

resulted in millions of unnecessary deaths

THE W ISDOM OF M ICHAEL CRICHTON

Michael Crichton was the famous author who wrote books like State of Fear andJurassic Park. Crichton was also a scientist and researcher.

In 2003, Crichton made following remarks ―

« I can tell you that DDT [ … ] did not cause birds to die, and should never have been banned . [ … ] Banning DDT is one of the most disgraceful episodes in the Twentieth Century history of America . »

Moreover, the restrictions on the use of DDT resulted in MILLIONS OF UNNECES-SARY DEATHS !

In 2004, Michael Crichton summed up the situation with thefollowing excerpt from his book entitled State of Fear ―

« Arguably, the greatest tragedy of the Twentieth Century was the removal of DDT.

DDT was the best insecticide for the control of mosquitoes .

Despite views to the contrary, no other products were as efficient, or as safe .

Since the removal of DDT, it has been estimated that THIRTY TO FIFTY MILLION PEOPLE have DIED UNNECESSARILY from the effects of malaria .

Sadly, removing DDT has KILLED MORE PEOPLE THAN HITLER .

Before the removal of DDT, malaria had become almost a minor illness, with only fifty thousand deaths per year throughout the world . »



THE STOCKHOLM CONVENTION

The STOCKHOLM CONVENTION on Persistent Organic Pollutants was the result of Enviro–Maniac negotiations that began in Montreal in 1998 under the United Na-tions Environment Programme.

The objective of the STOCKHOLM CONVENTION was to arbitrarily control, reduce,or eliminate discharges, emissions, and losses of persistent organic pollutants tothe environment.

In 2004, the STOCKHOLM CONVENTION called for the elimination of DDT, as wellas other persistent organic pollutants, barring any health crisis. Ninety–eightcountries ratified the convention.

THE W ISDOM OF PAUL K. DRIESSEN

In 2003, Paul K. Driessen wrote the book « Eco–Imperialism ― Green Power,Black Death ».

Driessen claimed that MALARIA DEATHS are TWO MILLIONPER YEAR.

Moreover, the hundreds of millions who « survive » the dis-ease are too sick to work or take care of their families.

They become more vulnerable to subsequent diseases, suchas AIDS, dysentery, and tuberculosis.

The survivors are obviously not able to adequately contrib-ute to the economy.

According to Driessen ―

« It’s no wonder that Sub–Saharan Africa is one of the most destitute regions on Earth . »

It has been observed that the removal of DDT showed that the West has a lack of compassion for those suffering in Third World countries.

Treatments were used long enough in the Southern United States and SouthernEurope to eliminate insect–borne diseases, but now that DDT is only needed inpoor countries, such as those found in Africa and Asia, it has been removed.



According to Driessen ―

« Now, well–off environmental activists can afford to rail against pesticide use in Africa, while they enjoy all the comforts that our high–tech, malaria–free society bestows upon them . »

PRESSURE TO G IVE UP DDT

Many African nations want to use DDT to SAVE LIVES, but they have been toldtheir agricultural exports may not be accepted if spraying becomes« widespread ».

Some people assert that many countries have been under pressure from interna-tional health and environmental agencies to give up DDT, or face losing aid grantsor trade sanctions.

Both Belize and Bolivia have gone on record to say that they gave in to such pres-sure from the U.S. Agency for International Development ( USAID ).

Additionally, the European Union ( EU ) has threatened trade sanctions againstcountries like Uganda that seek to use DDT, even solely for malaria control.

Fortunately, the 2004 STOCKHOLM CONVENTION inadvertently paved the way for

the world–wide endorsement of DDT to control and repel the malaria insect vector.

Happily, anti–DDT policies changed, thanks to President George W. Bush.

A TURNABOUT FOR DDT

DDT now plays a crucial part in the U.S. program, announcedby President George W. Bush in 2005, to spend an additional1.2 billion dollars on malaria control over the next five years.

Later in 2005, the U.S. Agency for International Development( USAID ) reversed its long–time opposition to the purchaseof DDT.

This represented a momentous turnabout in U.S. foreign pol-icy.



The following is an excerpt from a speech that Bush presented on December 14th ,2006 ―

« One area in which America has a tremendous potential to help is in the fight against malaria. At home, malaria was eliminated decades ago. It is possible to eliminate malaria. In Africa, malaria remains a persistent killer. I think our citi- zens will be amazed to hear that last year, about a million Africans died of malaria. The vast majority were children under five ― their lives ended by nothing more than a mosquito bite. In some countries, more people die of malaria than HIV/AIDS ― and last week, a new study showed that people who contract malaria become more likely to spread HIV. [ … ] We’re spending 1.2 billion dollars over five years to provide bed nets, and INDOOR SPRAYING, and anti–malarial medicine, in fifteen African countries. »

Moreover, in 2006, the European Union ( EU ) indicated that it would NO LONGER

IMPOSE TRADE SANCTIONS on those countries that use DDT for controlling aHEALTH CRISIS.

Evidently, the malarial affliction of more than 515 million people per year, andmore than 1 million deaths per year due to malaria, qualified this situation as« health crisis », as defined by the 2004 STOCKHOLM CONVENTION.

In essence, the 2004 STOCKHOLM CONVENTION paved the way for the world–wideendorsement of DDT in order to control and repel the malaria insect vector.

WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION ENDORSED DDT

On September 16th , 2006, the World Health Organization ( WHO ) announced thatDDT could be used once again as a principal tool against malaria.

For 30 years, the WHO had phased out DDT from widespread « indoor residual spraying ».

As of 2006, WHO endorsed DDT for « indoor residual spraying » in those areassubject to epidemics, as well as in places with constant and high malaria trans-mission, including throughout Africa.

Ironically, several environmental groups now grudgingly endorse the indoor use of DDT for malaria control, including ― Environmental Defense Fund, Sierra Club,and Endangered Wildlife Trust.

After having killed more people than Hitler, maybe the environmental movementfinally grew a conscience ? Not completely !

The World Wildlife Fund and others still lobby against DDT.



Force Of Nature presents THE WHOLE TRUTH FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE from National Organization Respond-

ing Against HUJE that seek to harm the Green Space Industry (NORAHG). It is a series of Reports destined for the GreenSpace Industry, the Environmental Terror Movement, Governments, and the Media, nationwide across Canada, the UnitedStates , and overseas. The information presented in Force Of Nature has been developed for the education and enter-

tainment of the reader by providing a sequence of historical events WITH COMMENTARY. The neutrality of these Reportsmight be disputed . Don’t thank us. It’s a public service. And we are glad to do it.

HUJE are identified on the basis of their statements, activities, affiliations, and whereabouts. Even though each EnviroManiac Culprit is a misguided adversary, each still deserves our respect. The use of the terms Maniac, Culprit, Terrorist,

or Basterd are not accusations of any legal wrong doing. Force Of Nature is simply holding Enviro Maniac Activists ac-countable for conspiring to change public policies that TERRORIZE, HARM, and THREATEN the Green Space Industry.

HUJE is a term used to describe Enviro Maniac Activists that routinely concoct FEAR MONGERING, FRAUDULENT LIES,MISCONCEPTIONS, COERCION, THREATS, DECEPTIONS, TERROR, and PARANOID CONSPIRACIES that are DESIGNED to

SCAM and DECEIVE the public into believing there is some IMAGINARY DANGER with conventional pest control products.HUJE also SCAM and DECEIVE Government Officials into the NEEDLESS, SENSELESS, and MALICIOUS CONSPIRACY toPROHIBIT conventional pest control products that are FEDERALLY LEGAL, SCIENTIFICALLY SAFE, TOTALLY IRREPLACE-

ABLE, and ABSOLUTELY INDISPENSABLE.

HUJE have created LOSS OF REVENUES, BUSINESS FAILURES, BANKRUPTCY, and UNEMPLOYMENT, inflicting DESPAIR

and DESTITUTION for THOUSANDS of hapless victims throughout the Green Space Industry. The DEPRAVED INDIFFER-ENCE of Maniac Culprit Terrorist Basterd HUJE is viewed as a form of TERROR, HARM, and THREAT against the Green

Space Industry.

This Report provides NO guarantee regarding accuracy or completeness. In no event shall Force Of Nature be liable for

any incidental or consequential damages, lost profits, or any indirect damages. Force Of Nature is TOTALLY INDEPEND-ENT of any trade association or business operating within the Green Space Industry. The events, characters, companies,and organizations, depicted in this Report are not always fictitious. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, may

not be coincidental. All information, excerpts, and pictures contained in this Report were found somewhere on the Inter-net, and may be considered in the public domain, serving one of the following purposes ― archive, education, promo-

tion, publicity, or press release.

Force Of Nature, and its various incarnations, is the brainchild of William H. Gathercole and his colleagues . Mr. Gather-

cole is a principal FOUNDER of the Modern Professional Lawn Care Industry in BOTH Ontario and Quebec. He holds a de-gree in Horticulture from the UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH, and another pure and applied science degree from McGILL UNI-

VERSITY. He has worked in virtually all aspects of the Green Space Industry, including GOLF, PROFESSIONAL LAWNCARE, and CHEMICAL INDUSTRY, and has served in environmental compliance, government negotiations, public affairs,and workplace safety. Mr. Gathercole has supervised, consulted, programmed, and/or overseen the successful and safe

execution of HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of pest control applications in the urban landscape. He has trained, instructed,and consulted with THOUSANDS of turf managers and technicians . Mr. Gathercole has also been an agricultural agrono-mist. For many years, Mr. Gathercole was a contributing columnist for TURF & Recreation Magazine, Canada’s Turf and

Grounds Maintenance Authority.

Mr. Gathercole and his colleagues have followed the evolution of ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM for over a quarter cen-

tury. For FIFTEEN YEARS, the strategies designed and implemented by Mr. Gathercole and his colleagues guaranteed thecontrol of the VERMIN OF ENVIRONMENTAL TERROR for the entire Modern Green Space Industry across Canada. Their

involvement in Environmental Issues reached a fevered pitch in the 1990s, when he orchestrated, with his colleagues,legal action against the Forces of Environmental Evil in the Town of Hudson, Quebec.

Today, Mr. Gathercole is the ONLY TRUE RELIABLE WITNESS of the Hudson Affair. Mr. Gathercole is personally creditedfor crafting the Golf Industry Exception Status that endures to this day. He is also the creator of the signs that are now

used for posting after application. His vast knowledge of our long journey with Environmenta l Issues is UNDENIABLE ―hopefully ! Mr. Gathercole is now retired, although his name continues to appear as FOUNDER of Force Of Nature.
