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...)
