Pro-Life Group Recalls Eerie Run-In with Discovery Channel Gunman
“Do not, My children, be deceived
by the words of the evil ones about you who cry to you of no space left for man.
There is space, for My Father has a plan for every life He sends.
“There is, My children, a fear campaign to cause confusion among you. None of
these fears are based on the fear of their God. No, these fears are only built
on the socializing of man, and his humanism being exploited to cover every sin,
that even the mind of satan could not conceive such diabolical folly." - Our
Lady of the Roses, August 5, 1971
The crazed eco-extremist who flung himself into the national spotlight
yesterday after taking three hostages at the Discovery Channel headquarters is
no stranger to the pro-life community in the nation’s capital.
Newly unearthed footage shows an unsettling 2009 confrontation between
pro-lifers and a man who they say they have identified as James J. Lee,
43, who was destined to be gunned down by police a year later, after acting on
his extreme dedication to "stopping the human race from breeding any more
disgusting human babies."
The drama
began to unfold about around 1 pm. yesterday, when Lee entered the Silver
Springs building with a gun and what appeared to be pipe bombs strapped to
himself; he confirmed to a CNN producer who called the office building that he
was in possession of at least one explosive.
After approximately four hours of negotiations, Lee pointed a handgun at one
of his hostages, at which point he was shot and killed by police snipers. The
hostages and others in the building were not harmed during the hours-long
showdown with police.
As stated in a manifesto
published online, Lee hoped to force the Discovery Channel and The Learning
Channel (TLC) to "stop all shows glorifying human birthing." Instead the
stations should air shows geared toward halting the overpopulation of "parasitic
human infants" in order to save the planet from global warming and
pollution. Lee was likely targeting TLC programming such as "19 and Counting"
and "Jon & Kate Plus 8," both of which follow the daily lives of large families.
TLC is owned by Discovery Communications, which also operates the Discovery
Channel.
According to MSNBC, Lee credited his "awakening" to former Vice President Al
Gore's 2006 movie "An Inconvenient Truth," which blamed man-made pollution for
global warming.
Last year, Lee's passion for suppressing the human race brought him to the
steps of the Planned Parenthood building in Washington, D.C., where members of
the American Life League were holding a
protest against the dangers of the birth control pill.
In a video of the encounter, filmed by Lee himself, and uploaded to his
Youtube account, Lee takes issue with the group's "religious" aspect, and
criticized Biblical faith as "unsustainable." "You can't say that we can breed
as many children as I want, and that the earth is unlimited - the earth is
limited. You can't just say we got to fill the earth, have all these children,
and nevermind all the other creatures. That's what the Bible says," the man told
the group.
"See, personally I don't care if you humans destroy yourselves with your
stupid wars. But, you can't destroy the natural world. The atomic bomb hurts
other creatures ... Why don't you guys just slice yourselves with knives instead
of something, but please don't hurt the wildlife like that, there's only so many
of them," he continued.
"Animals are wonderful creatures ... they live sustainable lives. They mean
no harm .... But humans are really environmentally destructive and we gotta stop
breeding or something."
Katie Walker, communications director with the American Life League, told
LifeSiteNews.com that, during the confrontation, she noticed the man's strange
sense of disconnection from the human race.
"I was very struck by his disconnection with rational thought and his
absolute disdain for human beings' lives," said Walker.
Walker said that "one of the main things that freaked us out at the time" was
Lee's referral to the pro-life witnesses as "you human beings."
"He did not count himself one of the human race," she said.
The young pro-life leader said she felt "shock" when she identified the
Discovery Channel gunman as the same man she met outside Planned Parenthood -
yet, she says, at the time of their encounter, she was "not too terribly
surprised" at his disturbing philosophy.
"After all, when you stand in front of Planned Parenthood, you become very
used to talking to people who don't believe in the sanctity of human beings'
lives," said Walker. "His views on human beings' lives are simply the logical
end of the views espoused by many in the pro-abortion movement."

Discovery TV Gunman Demands Halt to 'Parasitic Human
Infants,' Credits Al Gore with ‘Awakening’
Update 17:37 01/9/10 - Reports indicate that police
have shot and killed James Lee, and released the hostages.
SILVER SPRING, Maryland, September 1, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com)
- Chaos erupted after at least one hostage was taken at the Silver Spring
headquarters of the Discovery Channel by what appears to be a crazed radical
environmentalist.
The armed man has reportedly demanded that Discovery Channel executives
run programming geared toward stopping the propagation of "parasitic human
infants" in order to save the planet from global warming and pollution.
In a document apparently authored by James J. Lee, identified by law
enforcement as the gunman, Lee expresses his intention to force the network
to discourage overpopulation and the "human filth" of new children,
particularly among immigrant populations.
Discovery Channel employees first noticed Lee in February 2008, when he
was arrested during a protest at the Discovery building. For his involvement
in that protest he served two weeks in jail.
Lee, a San Diego resident according to some reports, has said he
experienced an ‘‘awakening” when he watched former Vice President Al Gore’s
environmental documentary ‘‘An Inconvenient Truth," reports
MSNBC.
Police Wednesday afternoon were engaged in negotiating the release of
what has been reported to be as little as one and as many as three hostages
by Lee, who was seen with a possible explosive device strapped to himself.
No injuries have yet been reported.
A list of demands published on savetheplanetprotest.com, signed as "the
demands and sayings of Lee," seeks programming from the TV station showing
"how people can live WITHOUT giving birth to more filthy human children
since those new additions continue pollution and are pollution."
"Saving the Planet means saving what's left of the non-human Wildlife,"
it states. "That means stopping the human race from breeding any more
disgusting human babies! ... It is the responsiblity of everyone to preserve
the planet they live on by not breeding any more children who will continue
their filthy practices."
The manifesto emphasizes that immigrant populations and their "anchor
baby filth" must also be stopped, and that Darwin's theory of evolution and
the Malthusian theory of overpopulation must be reiterated "until it sinks
into the stupid people's brains until they get it."
In addition, the document insists that the channel must "stop all shows
glorifying human birthing" and "the false heroics behind those actions."
"In those programs' places, programs encouraging human sterilization and
infertility must be pushed. All former pro-birth programs must now push in
the direction of stopping human birth, not encouraging it," it says, adding
that civilization and "all its disgusting religious-cultural roots and
greed" "must be exposed for the filth it is."

Vatican:
Population Growth is a Means of Overcoming Poverty, Not a Cause of It
“Do not, My
children, be deceived by the words of the evil ones about you who cry to you of
no space left for man. There is space, for My Father has a plan for every life
He sends. “There is, My children, a fear campaign
to cause confusion among you. None of these fears are based on the fear of their
God. No, these fears are only built on the socializing of man, and his humanism
being exploited to cover every sin, that even the mind of satan could not
conceive such diabolical folly." - Our Lady of the Roses, August 5, 1971
As nations around the world are beginning to feel the effects of
plummeting birth rates, the Vatican’s representative to the United Nations
has stressed that population growth is the key to overcoming poverty.
Speaking before the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations,
Archbishop Celestino Migliore said, “too often population growth is viewed
as the cause of poverty whereas it is a means of overcoming it, for only
within the work force can the solution for poverty be found.”
The archbishop explained: “where economic growth rates have declined, the
answers lie not in trying to close society to others and pushing for
population decline but rather in creating a society which is open to and
encourages life.” He added, “Promoting life and the family and finding
ways to integrate the contribution of all people will allow societies to
realize their full potential and achieve development.”
While population control
was pushed
at the Copenhagen summit on climate change and
is still
funded in the billions by the world’s elite, population control measures
have largely been discredited as a valid means of reducing poverty.
University of Calgary political scientist Tom Flanagan recently spoke of
the “now discredited theory that poverty in the Third World is based on
overpopulation,” in comments to the National Post. “I don’t think any
serious scholar believes that anymore,” he added.
The Vatican push against population control measures was raised by the
pope last year. In his World Day of Peace message for January 1, 2009,
Pope Benedict XVI deplored the "international campaigns afoot to reduce
birth-rates, sometimes using methods that respect neither the dignity of the
woman, nor the right of parents to choose responsibly how many children to
have; graver still, these methods often fail to respect even the right to
life."
Smashing any appeal to undertake population control in the name of
alleviating poverty, the pope added: "The extermination of millions of
unborn children, in the name of the fight against poverty, actually
constitutes the destruction of the poorest of all human beings."
In his message, the Pope brought demographic evidence to defend his
views. "Nor must it be forgotten that, since the end of the Second World
War, the world's population has grown by four billion, largely because of
certain countries that have recently emerged on the international scene as
new economic powers, and have experienced rapid development specifically
because of the large number of their inhabitants. Moreover, among the most
developed nations, those with higher birth-rates enjoy better opportunities
for development.
"In other words, population is proving to be an asset, not a factor that
contributes to poverty," the pope
concluded.
"The
Father breathes the spirit of life into the body of the unborn at the moment
of conception. The Father has a plan for each life He permits to be born. No
man has been given the right by the Father to take away this life. The
mission of that soul is returned incomplete. This abomination among mankind
shall not be tolerated much longer! You have in your human nature adopted
licentiousness! My children, awaken! Come into the light! You have submerged
your spirit in deep darkness.” - Our Lady of the Roses, December 28, 1974

Part
II: Creating "crises" and "shock attacks" in the "war" on population
New book cites US and
UN-manufactured scares over population growth
In the new book " Fatal
Misconception: The Struggle to Control World Population," Columbia
University historian Matthew Connelly shows how the population control
movement created "future projections as evidence" of overpopulation, then
justified "casualties" in the war on population caused by coercive methods.
These included such "shock attacks" as quotas for millions of shoddy
vasectomies and IUD insertions without follow-up care, public humiliation of
poor families with three or more children, bulldozing entire neighborhoods
that displaced countless thousands of the poor, and knowingly unloading
defective IUDs that crippled poor women.
According to Connelly, when Malthusian theories used to justify eugenics
fell out of favor, population controllers invented new theories. Founding
members of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) returning
from the Vietnam War, transferred the counterinsurgency tactic of
"population control" to USAID's strategy. Chinese missile scientist Jian
Song used computer generated modeling to create the appearance of "precise
forecast" of disaster for China if the government did not limit women to
bearing one child.
Africa, along with India, was
the target of many such contrived scenarios, even though according to
Connelly "the continent was a net food exporter and featured some of the
lowest rates of growth in the world." What's more, he says family planning
advocates ignored the fact that fertility was already falling in China and
in other target countries, and ignored the "accumulating body of evidence
showing that high fertility was not, after all, correlated with poverty." He
demonstrates that fertility rates fell in developing countries between 1950
and 2000, whether or not they were subjected to population assistance
programs.
Despite the facts, the movement's
tactics became increasingly coercive in the late 1960s, due to the zeal and
connections of people like U.S. Army general William Draper. Working with
John D. Rockefeller, Draper helped convince President Johnson to include
population control in the 1965 "war on poverty." Johnson tied humanitarian
aid to developing nations' achieving fertility benchmarks set by the UN and
USAID, even vetoing food aid shipments to India in the midst of its dire
famines.
Draper founded the Population Crisis Committee, today's Population Action
International, with the goal of creating an American public sense of urgency
by tapping into the fears of the day, such as drawing a causative link
between the lack of family planning in the slums with the chaos caused by
youth in the late 1960s and calling for a "crash program for population
stabilization."
Along with former Secretary of
Defense and World Bank President Robert McNamara, Draper convinced Congress
to earmark unprecedented levels of funding for USAID population programs
between 1967 and 1971. So much money flooded into the International Planned
Parenthood Federation (IPPF) that officials did not know how to spend it.
This, along with growing skepticism in the third world of U.S. backing -
then 90 percent of the total - led Draper to call for the creation of a fund
centered at the UN which would "sanitize" U.S. funding, give the appearance
of international consensus, and circumvent national governments. The
initiative became the UN Population Fund (UNFPA).

Dying
for Green? ABC game tells you when you deserve to die
Dying to save the planet? The
Australian Broadcasting Company (ABC) has spent countless carbons building a
website to let all human beings guilty of contributing carbon dioxide to
global warming know how long they deserve to live and what they can do to
"live forever."
Australia's ABC has unveiled the "PlanetSlayer" site, which the Aussie
network calls the "first irreverent environmental website" featuring the
cartoon eco-heroine "Greena the Worrier Princess" - a red-haired peacenik
tree-hugger accompanied by her trusty canine sidekick - and lets people know
how much of a blight they are on the planet.
http://www.abc.net.au/science/planetslayer
"Get the dirt on greenhouse without the guilt trips," the site proudly
proclaims. "Just fun and games and the answers to all your enviro-dilemas
[sic] ... Use our greenhouse calculator to find out when you should die!"
"Professor Schpinkee's greenhouse calculator" allows people figure out
"how your CO2 production compares to the Average Aussie greenhouse pig, and
to an environmentally-sustainable greenhouse 'pig.'" Once a person answers
all 10 questions, he can click on the skull-and-crossbones to know when he
should die "so you don't use more than your fair share of the earth's
resources."
Situated between an "Aussie pig" generating 24.6 tonnes of CO2 and the
"green pig" generating 3.0 tonnes of CO2, a player can figure out who should
live and who should die at what age depending on their use of the planet's
resources or more accurately their total carbon usage.
Playing the game will let you know that ABC believes the average working
class Aussie should die at 9 years of age for consuming too much of earth's
resources. The eco-pig, however, "should die at age 77."
A rough estimate of CO2 usage of an ordinary family provider, who is
unable to make "eco-friendly" investments because he needs to support his
family, shows that he will have used up his share of the earth's resources
by 2.7 years. Third-world inhabitants would average between 25-30 years
before their time was up.
However, the calculator offers the secret to living forever without
having to give up anything that emits CO2, like private jets, gas-guzzling
SUVs, and the hot air of endless environmental conventions. The "green
calculator" shows that all one has to do is consume material resources with
abandon, but have enough wealth to invest in environmentally friendly
businesses to go negative with carbon usage.
Unfortunately those unable to invest, including the working class and
poor of rich nations obsessed with global warming must radically alter their
standard of living, despite having no real chance of deserving to live more
than 30 years, even in destitution.
Those interested in perusing the site can watch episodes of "Greena" and
play the Planet Slayer game as "X-ON" in order to slay the planet or as the
red-haired olive-drab Greena to save the planet. Winning a level as Greena
shows a clip of Greena and her dog chained to a tree shouting "never
surrender!" Winning at "slay the planet" lets gamers watch X-ON spray Greena
in the face with chemicals. Gamers should be warned that excessive game-play
uses up precious carbons and reduces the time they deserve to live on Earth
according to the site's global warming "greenhouse" standards.
Costs
twice as much to make gallon of ethanol from corn as it does for gallon of
gasoline
Starvation scapegoat: Blaming
population for a green problem
“Do not, My
children, be deceived by the words of the evil ones about you who cry to you of
no space left for man. There is space, for My Father has a plan for every life
He sends. “There is, My children, a fear campaign
to cause confusion among you. None of these fears are based on the fear of their
God. No, these fears are only built on the socializing of man, and his humanism
being exploited to cover every sin, that even the mind of satan could not
conceive such diabolical folly." - Our Lady of the Roses, August 5, 1971
Although the search for clean, alternative sources of energy is to be
commended in and of itself, the environmentalist movement has a history of
overreaching. The ethanol story is a case in point. Of course the farmers
are happy that another major, government-subsidized market for their
products has arisen - and we at the Population Research Institute (PRI) like
farmers. But the ethanol story begins with a radical environmental push for
renewable energy. And what better source of renewable energy, they argued,
than one of the principal crops of America's farmers: corn.
It turns out that this is a lousy idea from several points of view. First,
as studies have demonstrated, it costs twice as much to make a gallon of
ethanol from corn as it does for a gallon of gasoline, even though gasoline
is nearly twice as efficient.
In addition, according to a Cornell
University study, although ethanol might burn cleaner than gasoline, the
amount of oil and coal that must be consumed to produce it is so
disproportionately huge that ethanol production is actually contributing to
the energy crisis, not helping to resolve it. The huge machines that plant,
fertilize, and harvest the corn used to make ethanol run on diesel, after
all, and the fermentation plants run on electricity.
Not only is
ethanol not worth the cost of producing it, the drive to make ever more
ethanol is cutting severely into the food supply.
According to an
article published last year by Business Week, the dent in American food
production alone has been dramatic. "In the U.S., last year's [corn] harvest
was 10.5 billion bushels, the third-largest crop ever," it reads. "But
instead of going into the maws of pigs or cattle or people, an increasing
slice of that supply is being transformed into fuel for cars.
The
roughly 5 billion gallons of ethanol made in 2006 by 112 U.S. plants
consumed nearly one-fifth of the corn crop. If all the scores of factories
under construction or planned go into operation, fuel will gobble up no less
than half of the entire corn harvest by 2008."
The very liberal New
York Times columnist Paul Krugman pointed the finger at politicians: "You
might put it this way: people are starving in Africa so that American
politicians can court votes in farm states." But this is only part of the
story. Politicians in non-farm states vote for ethanol because it is
extremely popular with the environmental lobby.
And what does the
radical environmental movement do? Assisted by its minions in the media, it
is once again blaming "overpopulation" for rising hunger around the world.
"Debate Grows with Philippines' Population," writes Bruce Wallace
of the Los Angeles Times, "As the food crisis looms, who's to blame?" The
answer from this bastion of liberal sentiment is not, as it should be,
environmentalism run amok, but the old stand-by: overpopulation.
Although the article concedes that the population growth of the Philippines
is slowing dramatically -- families are now averaging only 2.5 children --
he still sides with the population fear-mongers in blaming the food
shortages on too many people. The environmentalists cited in the article
deny that their beloved biofuel movement is sending much of the world into
starvation. Instead they attempt to shift the blame onto their favorite
culprit -- the world's people, in particular, the world's poor.
This
is not surprising. It is well-known that those with a pronounced Green
outlook on life believe human beings to be nothing more than a cankerous
sore on the face of the earth. Their "environmentally friendly" solutions to
perceived problems often ignore the costs that such programs impose,
especially upon those least able to bear them, the poor.
The cost of
turning massive amounts of food into fuel is, by now, obvious. The Green
Revolution, which doubled and tripled grain production around the world, is
being undone. Nevertheless, these costs mean little to the Big Green, which
seems perfectly happy to manufacture a crisis, as it has in this instance by
causing a shortage of food, and then once again lay the blame at the feet of
human fertility.
And why not? Thomas Malthus held that overpopulation
would naturally be checked by the food shortages and starvation it brought
about. He thus advocated a hands-off attitude toward world food crises,
insisting that we allow "overpopulated" areas to starve themselves back into
balance. The modern environmentalist movement's approach is similarly deadly
-- a breathless advocacy of abortion, contraception, and sterilization-with
an eye towards reducing the number of people in the world.

part of this abomination of the murder of the unborn shall be given a heavy
penance upon earth, or if this penance is not given upon earth, that person
found guilty in the eyes of his God shall suffer eternal damnation in the fires
of hell." - Our Lady of the Roses, December 28, 1976
