Time Greens saw the light on toxic bulbs
Monday September 21 2009
In response to Kevin Myers' 'Let's Assure the Greens and embrace the darkness' (Irish Independent, September 16), I have been critical of the Independent in the recent past (and perhaps I will be again in the future) but I have to commend that article.
I'd like to know which fool advocated mercury-filled light bulbs for use in every house in Europe knowing full well the inherent danger of mercury to human health?
These bulbs are toxic and cannot be disposed of in any safe manner at present and there seem to be no plans to remedy this situation.
What are the Green Party thinking of?
Have they completely lost the plot or are they simply toeing the communist-like line put out by their international puppet master and head of the international Green movement, that stalwart of environmental protection, Mikhail Gorbachev, who presided over the biggest nuclear accident in history -- Chernobyl?
I'm sure the sandals and ponytail brigade will tout this as a major coup in making us all go green. Unfortunately, it could well be a very sickly shade of green.
It should also be pointed out that the very same highly toxic chemical is contained in vaccines.
So, before you flick the switch, turn off your brain and roll up your sleeve, walk towards the light and wake up.
People really need to look into what the Green/environmental movement is all about, who funds it and what its real motivation is. It is a not a world that is in the interests of us mere humans -- no it's all about the planet, Mother Earth, and the new religion of Gaia worship
People should read the United Nations document, 'Agenda 21'.
It's all in there and it doesn't make for pleasant reading.
We need to very careful when we hear phrases such as 'sustainable development', 'population control', 'food shortages' and that hint about what's to come, 'there are too many people'.
When you put these phrases together you should see a pattern, or should I say policy.
If not then you are living like organic mushrooms -- completely in the dark.
