Green Goddesses

Apparently, the veteran radical feminist, Communist Party apparatchik and Satanic abuse scaremonger, Beatrix Campbell, put up for the Green Party in Camden last year. Peter Tatchell, meanwhile, is now a Green parliamentary candidate. Little things like that explain a lot.

Carbon dioxide emissions must be reduced so as to destroy (or prevent the restoration of) high-wage, high-skilled, high-status jobs, and arrest development in the poor world while restricting travel to the rich. The second and third points are important, but the first is supremely so.

Margaret Thatcher's destruction of the economic base of paternal authority - initially in working-class families and communities, but then very rapidly throughout society as a whole - was thoroughly excellent and admirable so far as the likes of Campbell and Tatchell are concerned. From their point of view, how could it not be?

Hence their equally vigorous opposition to nuclear power, which also provides high-wage, high-skilled, high-status jobs, while offering independence from Arab oil and Russian gas, all in "carbon neutral" fashion. It isn't really about carbon dioxide at all. It is about abolishing fathers.

Which is, of course, intimately related to banishing God the Father, Creator of and radically distinct from the material universe. Instead of actively digging up coal or uranium and doing something with it, we must wait passively on Mother Gaia or some such, the deity that is the world (with every moral calamity that follows from that view), to send the wind, or the waves, or whatever.

  1. Don't forget that it was Mrs T. who initially sponsored the whole "global warming" mythology in the first place, as a way of persuading industry to support nuclear power (and nukes, presumably!) rather than coal (which was leaving the country hostage to the miners).

  2. She was the original Green Goddess.
