ACCORDING TO THE NEW YORK TIMES :"

Juliette Rousseau, the head of Coalition Climat 21, an umbrella group for environmental activists, said the authorities had searched homes and seized computers and other equipment belonging to activists who have no connection to terrorism.

“There’s clearly an environment to keep activists out,” she said. “The state of emergency is clearly targeting activist movements. This is not justified. These people under house arrest, they don’t have any kind of criminal record.”

She added: “The impression we have is that there is this conference taking place in a sealed-up space, and meanwhile people in civil society are being asphyxiated.”

IT ISN'T CONSPIRATORIAL IDEATION, IT'S JUST WISHARTFUL THINKING

TO CLEAR THE AIR  OF SUCH TALK ,  DELINGPOLE APPROVED   WATTS  CONTRIBUTOR &  CREATIONIST  IAN WISHART HAS PUBLISHED AN ENTIRE  BOOK ON THE SUBJECT, CANDIDLY REVIEWED BY

Mike Butler: The UN and the new totalitarians

If you ever wondered about a link between climate change propaganda and the growing influence of the United Nations, Totalitaria by Ian Wishart links government surveillance, Agenda 21, the Earth Charter, national education standards, and church corruption with Satanism in high places.

Wishart is a New Zealand journalist, author and publisher, and the editor of Investigate magazine. He established his credentials as a leading investigative reporter when he uncovered the two key fraudulent transactions in the so-called Winebox affair of the early 1990s.

The title of “Totalitaria”, conveys the grim prognosis of a political system in which a worldwide state holds total authority over society...  Upcoming laws and proposals for carbon accounts and computerized control of vehicles via GPS tracking will create an infrastructure capable of controlling your movements, according to Wishart...

Wishart, a self-described conservative Christian, boldly says an occult group dedicated to the return of their deity that they privately call Satan/Lucifer and publicly refer to as Gaia/Mother Earth has, for 150 years and through a number of front organizations, been evangelizing just as hard as the Christian Church.

The Theosophical Society, a group established by Russian occultist Helena Blavatsky in 1875, re-ignited the almost extinct religion of Buddhism as a façade for western esotericism/Satanism that has since then spread the Luciferian doctrine through universities, movies, music and literature, he wrote.

Most interesting is Wishart’s account of how the Luciferians captured the United Nations  ... Wishart points to a meditation room directly below the general assembly room in the United Nations building in New York that contains a 6500kg block of iron ore bathed in a single bean of light -- an altar to the “God of All” or perhaps what Muller described as the “Absolute Supreme”.

Muller, as architect of the new world order, was deeply influenced by the writings of the British-born theosophist writer Alice A. Bailey who claimed to channel a 2000-year-old spirit named Djwhal Khul. Bailey set up the Lucifer Publishing Company in 1922 to publish her esoteric books. The company was re-named the Lucis Publishing Company in 1925, and later became the Lucis Trust, which has consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council.

There is no Christian chapel in the United Nations building but there is an altar to Lucifer, Wishart writes ...

These Theosophists oversaw the design of a global education policy designed to ... hasten the return of the Coming One/Satan through an increase in planetary vibrations,...

Fast-paced, intriguing, and easy to read, this is not a work of fiction like Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code. Those skeptical of Wishart’s investigation can check out the sources detailed.

IN  OTHER  COP21 NEWS, THE NEW YORK TIMES  REPORTS

AND BISHOP HILL  OFFERS TASTEFUL  COMMENTS ON

THIS THURSDAY, THE GREAT PUMPKIN WILL GIVE THANKS FOR THE FIFTH EXTINCTION

Who will break the news to Elizabeth Kolbert?

EXTINCTION OF MEGAFAUNA MAY HAVE AIDED PUMPKIN DOMESTICATION 

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA.
 If Pleistocene megafauna -- mastodons, mammoths, giant sloths and others -- had not become extinct, humans might not be eating pumpkin pie , say an international team of anthropologists.

Researchers believe that initially humans did not eat wild pumpkin and squash -- members of the cucurbita family -- because the wild fruit is not only bitter but also toxic to humans and smaller animals. However, clear evidence exists that very large animals -- megafauna -- that lived 12,000 years ago did eat these fruit.

"Lee Newsom (associate professor of anthropology, Penn State and study co-author) has recovered many wild gourd/squash seeds from ancient Mastodon dung, suggesting that large herbivores may have been an important feature in the natural history of these wild plants," said Kistler.

s. They believe that changes in distribution of the wild plants are directly related to the disappearance of the large animals.

"We performed an ancient DNA study of cucurbita including modern wild plants, domesticated plants and archaeological samples from multiple locations," said George Perry, assistant professor of anthropology and biology. "The results suggest, or confirm, that some lineages domesticated by humans are now extinct in the wild."

Without elephant-sized animals to distribute seeds, wild plants will grow only where the fruit drops -- as far as the pumpkin rolls. At the same time, the disappearance  of megafauna altered the landscape from one of a patchwork of environments to something more uniform. Cucurbita are weedy plants that liked the disturbed landscape created by the megafauna, but fared less well in the new landscape of the Holocene.

BREATHE FREE OR FREEZE

               WILL  YULE LOGS  BE BANNED IN BOSTON ? 
Woodstoves were once objects of  Green pride, conspicuous symbols of  energy independence, and  rejection of  fossil fuels.  No longer.

Now,  as the  darkness  of  winter  descends, and the New  Paranoia spreads fear of breathing over an ever-more regulated land, Richard Nixon's 1970  Christmas present  to the nation,  the EPA,  is out to eliminate  everything  that  emits  anything,  woodstoves included.
Not to be outdone, Canada's  new Nanny Statists  have  embraced Montréal's proposal to eliminate all fireplaces.

Farewell, renewable energy : The EPA has just given the Founding Fathers and the Sierra Club the boot  by banning the production not just of Doctor Franklin's energy-efficient Stove, but 80% of 21st Century America's wood-burning home heating gear as well.

As  usual,  the  culprit  is Prohibition by Incremental Regulation.   So  stringent have  the agency’s rules become  that you can already  violate the  limits of its airborne   particulate   regulations   by blowing out a birthday cake in a small room, let  alone  setting  fire to a  Yule log, or roasting  a panful of  chestnuts.

That's  not  enough  for  the  EPA. Washington wants airborne particulate emissions cut below 1 / 1000th the level of secondhand tobacco smoke --  a maximum of roughly ten micrograms per cubic yard of air.

The consequences are draconian: Breathe Free or Freeze.  Henceforth only air-tight wood stoves with platinum-plated catalytic converters elaborate as a Mercedes engine's will be allowed to warm Alaskan log cabins, or rural homes in the southern 48.  This could signal the end of barbecue  joints ,  Cajun  restaurants ,  and  blowtorch-wok  Chinese cuisine as well.  Under the new rules, one pan-blackened redfish belts out enough black carbon  nanoparticles to redline the air quality in a fair sized cathedral, and it remains to be seen if freedom of religion can allow for candles or incense burning in churches high or low.

More ominously, what will become of those who face the winter to come if , as President Obama wills, the EPA regs are enforced as law?  One bizarre consequence of the frakking revolution is that more American home are heated with wood than oil -- the current census puts 2,400,000 housing units at risk of freezing if regulatory overkill snuffs out their primary heat source.

Retrofits are not going to help much, and noncomplient older stoves can't legally be traded in for new models - the EPA says they must be destroyed,  or recycled.  Fired  by  the  EPA's  zeal, some  state  and municipal governments  already  fine home owners who persevere in staying warm , and  fussbudget Attorneys General in Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts  New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Vermont have also sued for an EPA crack down on outdoor wood-burning water heaters.

November 12, 2015, Paris, France — 

Four of the world’s leading climate scientists will issue a stark challenge to world leaders and environmental campaigners attending the COP21 climate summit at a scheduled press conference in Paris on December 3.

Dr. James Hansen, Dr. Tom Wigley, Dr. Ken Caldeira and Dr. Kerry Emanuel will...show that
... In light of the urgency of tackling climate change and nuclear power’s essential role in limiting temperature rises, the four scientists will therefore challenge environmental leaders who still hold anti-nuclear positions to instead support development and deployment of safe and environmentally-friendly nuclear power. 

For example, the Climate Action Network, representing all the major environmental groups, still insists despite all evidence to the contrary that “nuclear has no role to play in a fully decarbonized power sector.” The four scientists will state that the anti-nuclear position of these environmental leaders is in fact causing unnecessary and severe harm to the environment and to the future of young people."

NOVEMBER 1990 THE NATIONAL INTEREST : 

     A War Against Fire     by Russell Seitz

So even today.... the most chlorophyllic environmentalists are having stirrings of conscience about their adamant refusal to acknowledge an unambiguous fact of physics.

As surely as C02 can absorb the warming infrared, the strong nuclear force is millions of times stronger than the chemical bonds that are burst in unleashing heat from coal. Rather than embarking down the soft energy path that leads back beyond the Industrial Revolution's roots into a future dark age, the Greens should pause to consider the effect on the environment of renewing and perfecting our mastery of the atom's pale fire. 

The prospect of nuclear power's second coming presents environmental millenarians with a real source of cognitive dissonance: it is they who are the problem. It is their delaying tactics that wasted years and squandered billions at Seabrook and elsewhere. And it is their past indifference to the environmental consequences of the fossil fuel that the reactor might have saved that makes a mockery of their present rhetoric. 

The sooner their paranoia about nuclear waste disposal is laid to rest alongside that waste itself-deep in the and badlands, well secured, and as soon as the criminal mischief of Chernobyl is buried under the foundations of a reactor both safe and sanely contained, the sooner will civilization cease to he obliged to make a chemical waste repository of the sky.
