CONSERVATION CAMPAIGNS
Heroes are, in my opinion, not found in military conflicts; they are found in the rain forests and the high seas struggling against the odds, fighting governments, powerful financial institutions, despots and fundamentalists. Two of these are highlighted below,
Sea Shepherd is a collection of incredibly brave individuals fighting the Japanese whale murderers. Please support them; seashepherd.org
As humanity destroys the rain forests some of the planet’s most important and charming creatures are being pushed close to extinction. In my opinion the Orangutan, like the Gorilla, is our special cousin and its gentle nature makes it, in my opinion, a superior life form to human kind. Please support the fabulous people who rescue orphaned baby Orangutans. The Orangutan mothers are murdered by palm oil farmers – please therefore boycott palm oil products, orangutanrescue.org.uk
Enemies of the people
My top three anathemas are the Catholic Church, Corporate Thieves and Warfare.
I believe that poverty in countries like Africa, South America and the Philippines could be eradicated if sensible birth control was introduced.
These countries are hugely overpopulated and the blame rests almost entirely at the gates of the Vatican.
Corporate thieves have raped and wrecked the economies of every nation. I predicted the credit crunch in Terror, six months before the shit hit the fan. This grand larceny has been going on for years.
Have a look at Liar’s Poker and The Money Culture by Michael Lewis. Written about the 1980’s fleecing of the savings and loan companies (building societies) by Wall Street — it’s incredible that it’s happened again, and much much worse, in 2007/8! Will we never learn!
To see how much these guys pay themselves have a look at the pages from Private Eye (right) — and these are just the part-time, non-execs!
Finally, my own pet hate: our pointless nuclear deterrent — just last week one of our £20 billion Vanguard submarine, laden with horrific atomic missiles, crashed into a French nuclear sub! You couldn’t make it up! Massive incompetence, and massively dangerous, these insane weapons of mass incineration must be scrapped and the money spent on saving lives, not jeopardizing them.
