Well, she might be a lefty traitor, but Hanoi Jane has never been as barking mad as her ex-husband Ted Turner. No wonder they split when she found Jesus.
Anyway, Turner who founded CNN, and thank Christ he has little to do with the station nowadays, despite once having some political ambitions, has again been talking about the environment again and the need for the world to reduce its surplus population.
Here, he is being interviewed on tv talking about declining grain stocks. He also said this month that global warming would lead to mass cannabilism.
Consequently, the world was overpopulated and there should be fewer people. Yet Turner , a father of 5, supports biofuels himself, even though the UN reports they are causing starvation.
But this isn't the first time Ted Turner has commented on overpopulation.
“A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal.”Ted Turner, media mogul, as quoted in Audubon, November-December 1991.
He is one of many environmentalists and lefties who say there are too many people and believe in culling a few billion.
“If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels.”Prince Philip, reported by Deutsche Presse-Agentur (DPA), August, 1988. Prince Philip, first President of WWF-UK from its foundation in 1961 to 1982, and President of WWF-International from 1981 to 1996, is now President Emeritus for WWF. He was a founder of the Australian Conservation Foundation and its President from 1971 to 1976.
“This is a terrible thing to say. In order to stabilize world populations, we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. It is a horrible thing to say, but it’s just as bad not to say it.”Jacques Cousteau, co-recipient in 1977 (with Sir Peter Scott) of the International Environmental Prize awarded by the United Nations for outstanding contributions in the field of the environment. Quoted from UNESCO Courier, November 1991.
Aurora at The Midnight Sun has more enviro-lunacy with further delicious and callous quotes.
I wonder what our own leftists and environmentalists believe?
In the meantime, some hungry Africans would like to thank Al Gore.

OK, so we have the thesis that the left want to kill the poor. Presented as evidence in support of it, we have two successful entrepreneurs and Prince Philip, none of whom could be described as leftists, and none of whom mention killing the poor. Somehow I remain unconvinced...
Did you feel no sense of irony in writing about the "callous" left FFM, having written only a couple of days ago about how to discourage the poor from breeding, which was followed by a thread full of frothing right-wing loonies bringing forth compassionate views like "get the scalpel out and stop the dumb arse thickos from breeding" and "sterilise the females and males." Dunno about you, but I'm finding it richly ironic.
PS: cheers for the photo of Barbarella though, I hope she stays at the top for a while.
If we all just get richer, then our birth rate will fall dramatically and the world will be saved. :^)
It's all comes back to money.
I don't think Prince Phil is a lefty...
But they ARE all mentalists.
Thanks PM, your comments are always appreciated and I can see some irony here.
The issue with Ted Turner is that he and others have adopted a radical green agenda asociated with the left.
I doubt very much Turner is a Republican though.
Of course, as for killing the poor, maybe they want the rich to die as no doubt they will have a bigger carbon footprint.
As for my earlier post on poverty , I was just preachin personal responsibily. If people cannot afford kids they should not have them.
But government welfare makes it possible for people to breed who perhaps should not in many cases.
And it is their children who suffer the most.
Thus welfare fuels child poverty.
Glad you like Barbarella. A strange but wonderful movie.
Bravo PM I like your style.
But the greenies have always hated people and believed there are too many people.
There again, when I visit Auckland I sometimes think that myself.
I guess what Fairfacts was highlighting the lunacies by extremists in the environmental movement.
It would be a worthy study for someone with the time to find local examples of such nonsense.
Turners a nut. I think the US only occupies 5-10% of its land mass. Plenty of space to grow food (as we have ourselves), if only they want to..
