OTOH, the conservation movement has deep roots (pun intended) in social conservatism. Environmentalism has often been used as an excuse to ignore social problems, and can even lead to a kind of pastoral fascism--cp. the Nazi concept of *Blut und Boden* ("Blood and Soil"). The idea of setting aside "nature reserves" as, essentially, playgrounds for the super-elite (and I think you'll find that it will be the hoi polloi who are moved out, not the Ted Turners) fits quite well into the vision of a NWO. Now, even given that, I still support Earth First!--they are one of the very few groups doing *anything* to block the logging companies, and their tactics are resolutely nonviolent. It's just that environmental activism can all too easily be redirected to channels controlled by the NWO. Earth First! and Sea Shepherds are not likely to be coopted; but the Sierra Club has undoubtedly been part of the NWO from the start. (Check out some of John Muir's writings; sure, they put out cool calendars, but if you really *read* the stuff beneath the pictures, you'll never look at a redwood again without shuddering...)
