DDT and Politicized Science — 2010 12 09

In the 9/11 Era of
Environmental Terror
Environmental–Terror–Lunatics
rely upon lies, fear–mongering,
misconceptions, coercion,
threats, deceptions, terror,
and paranoid conspiracies.
They concoct fraudulent
and non–existent
alarmist issues such as
the so–called problems with DDT
as well as the imaginary threat of
pest control products !
These Enviro–Basterds
cannot be trusted !
The RE–INTRODUCTION of DDT is
NEEDED since it is THE MOST EFFECTIVE

F ALSE ALLEGAT ION S
CONCERNING DDT
Some people commented that a reduction in bird activity after an application of DDT could mean several
things.
The Green Space Industry needs to
remind the public that it does not
routinely kill birds during the course
of its activities.
Using DDT would remove
source from the birds.
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 factor leading to the U.S. removal of DDT.
Read the next segments, and formulate your own conclusions about the
EXAGGERATED EFFECTS of DDT on
birds, and our world of JUNK SCIENCE.
food
This would lead to the birds flying
elsewhere for food.
It would not necessarily mean that
DDT was killing birds.
T HE D ISGR ACEFUL
AND MISLEADING
WURSTER ARTICLE
In 1965, an article was repeated in
each of the magazines Ecology and
Science regarding the alleged death
of certain bird species following DDT
applications for Dutch Elm Disease in
Hanover, New Hampshire.
The author was
Wurster Junior.
T HE ALLEGED E FFECT

a
Charles
Frederick
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 . »
«
Beginning in the 1950s, DDT was
used on a massive scale to control
the insect vectors of the Dutch Elm
Disease, as well as the larvae of the
Gypsy Moth and the Spruce Budworm.
Wherever DDT was used, some consequences were observed
―
this
usually involving a noticeable reduction in bird activity, or a change in
their habits.
This was not necessarily an exhaustive study ― it was merely a visual
comparison 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 feeding habits of some birds APPEARED
changed.
Incredibly, the dead birds were not
always analyzed for traces of DDT.
If the environmentalists win on
DDT, they will achieve, and probably
retain in other environmental issues,
A LEVEL OF AUTHORITY THEY HAVE
NEVER HAD BEFORE.
«
In a sense, then, much more is at
stake than DDT . »
Obviously, DDT was held accountable.
WHO WAS CHARLES FR ED ER ICK
WUR STER J UNIOR ?
Clearly, some Environmental–Terror–
Organizations used DDT as a means
to INCREASE THEIR POWER.
There may never have been a bird issue !
The disgraceful and misleading article
discussed in the preceding segment
was co–written by Enviro–Lunatic
Charles Frederick Wurster Junior.

Wurster eventually became a co–
founder and « volunteer scientist »
for the Environmental Defense Fund
( EDF ) beginning in 1967.
In fact, there appear to be NO valid
scientific reports of « birds falling out
EDF was the Environmental–Terror–
Organization that instigated a major
conspiracy campaign against DDT.
However, the intentions of this organization may not have been pure–
at–heart.

Let’s not forget that during the « DDT
years » ( 1941–1972 ), approximately
1,350,000,000 pounds of DDT were
used domestically in the United
States.
If the Environmental–Terror–Movement was correct about DDT and its
effect on birds, where were the thousands of dead bodies ?

Michael Crichton was the famous author who wrote books like State of

control of mosquitoes .

other products were as efficient, or as
safe .
Crichton was also a scientist and researcher.

Before the removal of DDT, malaria
had become almost a minor illness,
with only fifty thousand deaths per
year throughout the world . »
«
Moreover, the restrictions on the use
of DDT resulted in MILLIONS OF UNNECESSARY DEATHS !

the situation with the following excerpt from his book entitled State of

The STOCKHOLM CONVENTION on
Persistent Organic Pollutants was the
result of Enviro–Maniac negotiations
that began in Montreal in 1998 under
the United Nations Environment Programme.
The objective of the STOCKHOLM
CONVENTION was to arbitrarily control, reduce, or eliminate discharges,
emissions, and losses of persistent
organic pollutants to the environment.
In 2004, the STOCKHOLM CONVENTION called for the elimination of
DDT, as well as other persistent organic pollutants, barring any health
crisis.

as those found in Africa and Asia, it
has been removed.

that
MALARIA
DEATHS are TWO MILLION PER YEAR.
Moreover, the hundreds of millions
who « survive » the disease are too
sick to work or take care of their
families.
They become more vulnerable to subsequent diseases, such as AIDS, dysentery, and tuberculosis.
The survivors are obviously not able
to adequately contribute to the economy.
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 . »
«
PR ESSUR E
TO GIVE UP DDT
Many African nations want to use DDT
to SAVE LIVES, but they have been
told their agricultural exports may not
be accepted if spraying becomes
« widespread ».
Some people assert that many countries have been under pressure from
international health and environmental agencies to give up DDT, or
face losing aid grants or trade sanctions.
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
Both Belize and Bolivia have gone on
record to say that they gave in to
such pressure from USAID, the U.S.
Agency for International Development.
Additionally, the European Union (EU)
had
threatened
trade
sanctions
against countries like Uganda that
seek to use DDT, even solely for malaria control.
I think our citizens will be amazed to
hear that last year, about a million
Africans died of malaria.
Fortunately, the 2004 STOCKHOLM
CONVENTION inadvertently paved the
way for the world–wide endorsement
of DDT to control and repel the malaria insect vector.
The vast majority were children under
five ― their lives ended by nothing
more than a mosquito bite.
Happily, anti–DDT policies changed,
thanks to President George W. Bush.
A T URNABOUT
FOR DDT
DDT now plays a crucial part in the
U.S. program, announced by President George W. Bush in 2005, to
spend an additional 1.2 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 purchase of DDT.
This represented a momentous turnabout in U.S. foreign policy.
The following is an excerpt from a
speech that Bush presented on December 14 t h , 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.
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 a HEALTH CRISIS.
Evidently, the malarial affliction of
more than 515 million people per
year, and more 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–wide endorsement of DDT in
order to control and repel the malaria
insect vector.
«
It is possible to eliminate malaria. In
Africa, malaria remains a persistent
killer.
WOR LD H EALTH ORGAN IZAT ION
ENDORSED DDT
On September 16 th , 2006, the World
Health Organization ( WHO ) an-
nounced that DDT 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
areas subject to epidemics, as well as
in places with constant and high malaria transmission, including throughout Africa.
Michael Crichton
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
movement finally 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 Responding Against HUJE that seek to harm the Green Space Industry (NORAHG). It is a series of Reports destined for the Green
Space Industry, the Environmental Terror Movement, Governments, and the Media, nationwide across Canada, the United
States, and overseas. The information presented in Force Of Nature has been developed for the education and entertainment of the reader by providing a sequence of historical events WITH COMMENTARY. The neutrality of these Reports
might 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 Enviro
Maniac 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 accountable 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 to
PROHIBIT conventional pest control products that are FEDERALLY LEGAL, SCIENTIFICALLY SAFE, TOTALLY IRREPLACEABLE, 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 INDIFFERENCE 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 INDEPENDENT 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 Internet, and may be considered in the public domain, serving one of the following purposes ― archive, education, promotion, publicity, or press release.
Force Of Nature, and its various incarnations, is the brainchild of William H. Gathercole and his colleagues. Mr. Gathercole is a principal FOUNDER of the Modern Professional Lawn Care Industry in BOTH Ontario and Quebec. He holds a degree in Horticulture from the UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH, and another pure and applied science degree from McGILL UNIVERSITY. He has worked in virtually all aspects of the Green Space Industry, including GOLF, PROFESSIONAL LAWN
CARE, 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 agronomist. 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 century. For FIFTEEN YEARS, the strategies designed and implemented by Mr. Gathercole and his colleagues guaranteed the
control 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 credited
for 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 Environmental Issues is UNDENIABLE ―
hopefully ! Mr. Gathercole is now retired, although his name continues to appear as FOUNDER of Force Of Nature.
