“You cannot allow any of your people to avoid the brutal facts. If they start living in a dream world, it’s going to be bad.” - USMC General James ‘Mad Dog’ Mattis “Order demands violence. A rule not ultimately backed by the threat of violence is merely a suggestion. States rely on laws

enforced by men ready to do violence against lawbreakers. [..]

Without action, words are just words. Without violence, laws are

just words. [..] Violence isn’t the only answer, but it is the final answer. One can make moral arguments and ethical arguments

and appeals to reason, emotion, aesthetics, and compassion.

People are certainly moved by these arguments, and when

sufficiently persuaded –providing of course that they are not excessively inconvenienced — people often choose to moderate or change their behaviors. However, the willful submission of many

inevitably creates a vulnerability waiting to be exploited by

any one person who shrugs off social and ethical norms. [..]

Violence is the final answer to the question, “Or else what?” [..] Ask the Cherokee, the Inca, the Romanovs, the Jews, the

Confederates, the barbarians and the Romans. They all know “Or else what.” - Violence is Golden1, by Jack Donovan. “Try reading your nation's -- delusional flat earth inalienable rights to breed and consume with total disregard for ecological

carrying capacity limits -- constitution while holding your

breath; and then ask yourself (i) in terms of a nation's

national sustainable security priorities: what is more

important: protecting (a) the natural capital resource

foundation of your nation; that is the source of all you eat,

drink, breath and consume to survive; or (b) your nation's flat

earth constitution; and (ii) if the latter: how long do you

think your nation's constitution and juridical or military

authorities, can protect the individual civil liberties

enshrined in your nation's social contract; as you go about

destroying your nation's natural capital.” - amended combined quote of Dr. Guy McPherson and Charles Evan Hughes2, 1930-1941

Rome Statute: Article 5(1)(d) & (2): Crime of Aggression:

Rome Statute of the International Court11: Article 5: Crimes within the jurisdiction of the Court: (1)(d) refers to the undefined ‘crime of aggression’. Section (2) states “The Court shall exercise jurisdiction over the crime of aggression once a provision is adopted in accordance with articles 121 and 123 defining the crime and setting out the conditions under which the Court shall exercise jurisdiction with respect to this crime. Such a provision shall be consistent with the relevant provisions of the Charter of the United Nations.”

Ecology of Peace Decalogue Commandment ‘crime of aggression act of war’ definition:

“Any individual who is found guilty of advocating on behalf of, legislating, enforcing, or obeying any – cultural, religious, common, statutory, constitutional, or international – alleged ‘scarcity combatant’ law; which enables or advocates on behalf of human procreation, consumption or production of resources that transgress ecological carrying capacity limits, is guilty of the ‘crime of aggression act of war’.”

shalt not transgress the cultural capacity.” – Garrett Hardin12: Cultural

Carrying Capacity13 and Tragedy of the Commons14.

“We must all understand that the most potent weapons of war are the penis, the womb, and the ego. Therefore, if you cannot convince a group to control its population and consumption to below carrying capacity limits; by discussion, debate, intelligent analysis, etc.; you must consider their action in using the penis and the womb to increase population; or ego’s unjustified demand to consume in violation of carrying capacity limits; an Act of War” – Amended version of quote by Judge Jason G. Brent15, in Humans: An Endangered

Species16.

In consideration of Judge Jason Brent’s ‘Act of War’ principles; Applicants amend Garrett Harden’s Ecology of Peace Decalogue Commandment as follows: “Thou shalt not advocate on behalf of, legislate, enforce or obey any scarcity combatant law that encourages or enables citizen’s procreation, consumption or production of resources, to transgress ecological carrying capacity limits.”

In accordance to such Ecology of Peace Decalogue Commandment, Applicants submit the following definition for Rome Statute: Article 5 (1)(d) & (2) undefined term of ‘crimes of aggression act of war’ (CoA AoW):

“Any individual who is found guilty of advocating on behalf of, legislating, enforcing, or obeying any – cultural, religious, common, statutory, constitutional, or international – ‘scarcity combatant’ social contract; which enables or advocates on behalf of human procreation, consumption or production of resources that transgress ecological carrying capacity limits, is guilty of the ‘crime of aggression act of war’.”

Crimes of Aggression Acts of War Convictions & Sentencing:

Consumption Violation Sentences: Individuals found guilty of violating consumption social contract limits; would be required to (A) either relinquish their excess consumed products; or if already spent pay an appropriate financial fine; to a conservation trust fund or similar; and (B) sign a legal agreement – similar to the MILINT Earth Day Ecology of Peace Oath (PDF17) – with law enforcement authorities to commit to consuming below carrying capacity limits, and failing to honourably do so authorizing a Judge to authorize law enforcement officials, to remove their dishonourable genes from the national genepool.

Procreation Violation Sentences: Individuals found guilty of violating procreation social contract limits; would be required (A) to (i) relinquish said child for adoption (if wanted to be adopted by a family) and agree to be permanently sterilized; and (ii) sign a legal agreement – similar to aforementioned MILINT Earth Day Ecology of Peace Oath – with law enforcement authorities to commit to consuming below carrying capacity limits, and failing to honourably do so authorizing a Judge to authorize law enforcement officials to remove their dishonourable genes from the national genepool; (B) if no adoptive family is found; both parents and children are to be given their choice as to how they prefer to be humanely executed.

Sustainability Definition: A Sustainable society practices Sustainable Procreation and Sustainable Natural Resource Utilization Behaviour; i.e. all of its citizens consume and procreate below carrying capacity. Sustainable Natural Resource Utilization Behaviour behaviour involves the utilization of renewable natural resources—water, cropland, pastureland, forests, and wildlife—exclusively, which can be depleted only at levels less than or equal to the levels at which they are replenished by Nature. The utilization of non-renewable natural resources (NNR's)—fossil fuels, metals, and minerals—at any level, is not sustainable18.

Carrying Capacity Sustainability: I=PAT Equation: For activities to be genuinely sustainable it must be possible for them to continue indefinitely. The impact of humanity on the environment and the demands that people place on the resources available on the planet can be summarised by what is known as the Ehrlich or IPAT equation, I=PAT. I = impact on the environment or demand for resources, P = population size, A = affluence and T = technology. The two most important conclusions deriving from this IPAT footprint19 relationship are that: (i) the Earth can support only a limited number of people, at a certain level of affluence, in a sustainable manner; and (ii) Population and Consumption must be reduced to below carrying capacity.

Carrying Capacity aka Biocapacity Limits: “The maximum number of individuals that can be supported sustainably by a given environment is known as its ‘carrying capacity’. Worldwide the total amount of biologically productive land and sea amounts to 12 billion global hectares (gha); or 1.8 gha each if divided by 6.7 billion each. Guerrylla Laws are drawn up in accordance with the proactive conservation policies of Bhutan20, who set aside 40% of their biologically productive

18 Sustainability Defined, Chris Clugston, WakeUpAmerika 19 EcoFootprint: The difference between the biocapacity and Ecological Footprint of a region or country. A biocapacity deficit occurs when the Footprint of a population exceeds the biocapacity of the area available to that population. If there is a regional or national biocapacity deficit, it means that the region is importing biocapacity through trade or liquidating regional ecological assets. Global biocapacity deficit cannot be compensated through trade, and is overshoot. 20 Bhutan Proactive Conservation: Bhutan is seen as a model for proactive conservation initiatives. The Kingdom has received international acclaim for its commitment to the maintenance of its biodiversity. This is reflected in the decision to maintain at least sixty percent of the land area under forest cover, to designate more

11

to be returned to its natural state, for other species and wildlife conservation purposes; then that means that the total amount of biologically productive carrying capacity land available to humans is 60% of 12 billion; which amounts to 7.2 billion gha total; or 60% of 1.8 gha, which is 1 gha each. Population factor is relevant, because the more humans there are, the less biologically productive land there is for everyone else. For example:

Biocapacity limits of 6.7, 3.5, 1 Billion, 500, 250 & 100 Million: 7.2 billion global hectares of biologically productive land and water divided by (a) 6.7 billion humans, equals: 1.07 gha each; (b) 3.5 billion equals 2.05 gha each; (c) 1 billion equals 7.2 gha each; (d) 500 million equals 14.4 gha each; (e) 250 million equals 28.8 gha; (f) 100 million equals 72 gha each.

Procreation Factor: As noted, the more people there are; the less biologically productive land there is available for everyone else. According to the research of Paul Murtaugh, the procreation factor that should be added by ecology footprint organisations to their Consumption footprint calculators, is 20 per child. [Each Child increases a parent’s cumulative consumption footprint by factor of 2021]

Difference between Sustainable (Leaver Eco-Innocent) v Unsustainable

(Taker Scarcity Combatant): An individuals IPAT footprint is a result of: (A) Consumption Footprint multiplied by (B) Procreation Factor (Every child increases 20 Child Factor). If their IPAT footprint is below carrying capacity limits, they are an Eco-Innocent Leaver; if their IPAT footprint is above carrying capacity limits, they are a Scarcity Combatant Taker.

Total Footprint = Consumption x Procreation Factor. To work out your Consumption footprint; you will need to use a Consumption Footprint calculator. Current online footprint calculators: Global Footprint Network22 (copy available at Earth Day23; Center for Sustainable Economy24; EcoCampus25. See more at Global Footprint’s Application Standards26, where they detail how their calculators calculate Consumption footprints. The quiz will ask you various questions about your consumption habits, and provide you with a final consumption footprint in

than 40% of its territory as national parks, reserves and other protected areas, and most recently to identify a further nine percent of land area as biodiversity corridors linking the protected areas. Environmental conservation has been placed at the core of the nation's development strategy, the middle path. It is not treated as a sector but rather as a set of concerns that must be mainstreamed in Bhutan's overall approach to development planning and to be buttressed by the force of law. - "Parks of Bhutan".

global hectares which is your ‘consumption footprint’. For the purposes of this calculation; avoid footprint calculator quizzes that do not provide you with your final gha consumption footprint amount, such as for example: World Wildlife Fund’s footprint calculator27 or Stanford International Students28 (which is excellent and has great detail; but does not provide you with a final footprint in gha terms). Multiply your consumption footprint gha amount by your Procreation Factor: the number of children you have procreated multiplied by 20. The total amount is your Total Footprint.

Current Procreation Factor Error in Footprint Quizzes: As noted all aforementioned Footprint calculators are in fact not ‘Total Footprint’ calculators; because they don’t include a major variable – the procreation factor – in their quiz questions. They only include the individual’s consumption. If they did add the procreation factor into their quiz, the individuals taking their footprint quiz’s results would simply go through the roof, from giving answers such as ‘if we all consumed like you we would need 1.5 or 2.8 earths’ to ‘if we all consumed and bred like you, we would need 20, or 40 or 200 earths’; which would provide a far more ‘urgent danger alert’ conclusion message for those quiz takers, about the massive importance of the procreation factor in the Total Eco-Footprint. I submit (and I could be wrong, but I don’t think so) that once these Footprint calculators start including the procreation factor in their ‘Total Footprint’ equations, the cumulative results of individuals who have procreated children, will reduce the total footprint of the individual whose procreation factor is zero. For example: Currently two people with the exact same consumption habits could take their quiz and end up with the same total footprint; of for example: 12.75 gha; irrespective of whether one had zero children and the other had 4 children. This error in these footprint quizzes provides no urgent incentive to reduce breeding, which makes a massive difference to how the total footprint is calculated. Until the quizzes correct this error, I have substituted my own correction, as follows:

Procreation Factor: 0 children (x 0.5); 1 child (x 20); 2 children: (x 40) and so on. For example: Acting Clerk Applicant’s Consumption Footprint29 using Sustainable Economy's Myfootprint.org quiz, is 12.75 global hectares (gha). She has no children, consequently her procreation factor is 0.5. Consumption (12.75) x Procreation (0.5) = Total Eco Footprint of 6.375 gha.30

Summary of ‘War is Peace’ (WiP) history

[1] Earth is not flat.

[2] Resources are finite.

[3] When humans breed or consume above ecological carrying capacity limits, it results in resource conflict.

[4] War is Peace history: either:

[4.1] Religious and political leaders ignored facts (1) (2) & (3); choosing instead to bribe their tribes members to believe it is their 'inalienable [freedumb slavery] right' to breed and consume above carrying capacity limits; as they embarked on the totalitarian agriculture55 motivated beyond retardation (motarded) ratrace to choose to join one or other ideological, religious, racial or cultural tribe to engage in resource war thieving to accumulate more resources to grow their tribe to enable it to protect itself from another tribes organized violence resource war thieving, and/or;

[4.2] Anti-war Ecology of Peace religious and/or political leaders did inform citizens of ecological literacy reality that sustainable world peace; requires implementing an international law social contract that confronts facts (1) (2) & (3); that requires all humans to breed or consume below carrying capacity; but either:

A. citizens were too greedy to breed and/or consume as much as they want; and so nobody listened to the anti-war Ecology of Peace leaders; and/or;

B. not enough lawyers and politicians were willing to legislate an Ecology of Peace social contract into existence; and/or;

C. not enough Generals and soldiers were willing to collectively support such Ecology of Peace principles and demand by force that their civilian political, religious and legal leaders enact a sustainable world peace social contract.

Matrix Indulgences to Corporations: Socialized Corporate Externality Costs: Trillion Dollar Thefts from Global Natural Capital Commons56, has resulted in humanity’s ecological overshoot of carrying capacity limits by between 700 to 400,000 percent57; which include crossing urgent Planetary Boundary Tipping Points58: (i) Loss of Biodiversity and Species Extinctions59; (ii) Climate Change60; (iii) Nitrogen Cycle61; (iv) Ocean Acidification62; (v) Changes in Land Use63; (vi) Global Freshwater Use64; (vii) State Shift in the Earth’s Biosphere65; (viii) Peak Non-Renewable Natural Resources: Scarcity66; with devastating current climate-resource-scarcity-conflict and refugees, and impending threat multiplier aggravation of crisis of ‘scarcity-conflict’ death spiral consequences.

The public in general are Dunning and Kruger67 ecologically and/or egologically illiterate of current Overshoot-Scarcity-Conflict consequences of their procreation and consumption lifestyle’s, such as climate-resource-scarcity-conflict and refugees, and impending threat multiplier aggravation of crisis of ‘scarcity-conflict’ death spiral consequences; and hence unable or unwilling to make informed environmental voting decisions; in support of the implementation of national Ecology of Peace legislative social contracts.

Citizens, citizens rights organisations and legislators serious and sincere about reducing the devastating current environmental and national security climate-resource-scarcity-conflict and refugees consequences from civilized patriarchy’s legislative failure to restrict humanity’s procreation and consumption to cultural carrying capacity limits, and Legal Matrix Indulgences to Corporations: Socialized Corporate Externality Costs: Trillion Dollar Thefts from Global Natural Capital Commons, should educate citizens about the importance of enacting Ecology of Peace legislation to legally define the difference between a Leaver Eco-Innocent and a Taker Scarcity Combatant68: (A) Procreation footprint: how many children per family maintains procreation levels below carrying capacity and leads to sustainable peace? (B) Production Footprint: How much exploitation and production of non-renewable and renewable natural resources maintains production below carrying capacity and leads to sustainable peace? (C) Consumption Footprint: How much individual consumption maintains consumption levels below carrying capacity and leads to sustainable peace?

Ecology of Peace Truth or Masonic War is Peace Future’s:

Current Ecology of Peace (EoP) –v– War is Peace (WiP)69 reality:

[1] Ecology of Peace New World Order Future: Humans find a way to legally implement an Ecology of Peace international law social contract that enables orderly and humane reduction of population and consumption:

a. Voluntarily by civil society who support political and military leaders to legislate such an international law social contract into law transparently and democratically; or

b. Involuntarily by politicians who legislate such international law social contract into law in secret; or

c. Involuntarily by military force; either as coercive pressure on civil society, legislative authorities, or ultimately as a military necessity70 coup d’etat71.

[2] Masonic War is Peace World Order Future: Armageddon collision of humans overbreeding and overconsuming with ecological finite resource reality: and mother nature uses death, pestilence, famine, war on an unimaginable scale to very violently reduce human population and consumption.

Ecology of Peace international law social contract obstacles:

[1] The absence of Ecology of Peace national constitutional and international law social contract jurisprudence, to (a) hold scarcity combatants accountable for negligently or maliciously refusing to obey the Ecology of Peace commandment: “Thou shalt not legislate, enforce or obey any law which enables citizens procreation or consumption to transgress cultural carrying capacity limits”; or (b) provide clear, rational, impartial, fair and equitable justifications for violating the ecological commandment.

[2] No officially authorized MILED Clerk: Current Acting EoP Clerk awaiting official Clerk authorization pending (a) resolution of unresolved issues of psychological integrity credibility, Iatrogenic Ethno-bio-warfare depopulation Origins of AIDS and Military Psychotronic Information Warfare in GMC 2578-14: Lara Johnstone v Frode & Talitha Moe; and/or (b) the Russian and American Embassies appoint an alternative MILED Clerk; and such officially authorized Clerk proceeds to file the referral to the Swiss Federal Council.

[3] Pretend peacenik parasites, such as Nobel Peace Laureates, who pretend to stand for peace, but whose covert goals are to parasitically grow themselves an illusion of knowledge peace seeker moral supremacist parasite fanclub; who

refuse to address the root procreation and consumption causes of scarcity conflict; because while pretending to support ‘equality’; they secretly believe non-europeans: niggers, spicks, arabs, etc; to be inferior: incapable of (a) honest constructive criticism to amend their breeding war procreation behaviours, and/or (b) physical inferiority inability to engage in responsible freedom procreation behaviours; and/or (c) prefer to manipulate ignorant and bigoted non-european: niggers, spicks, arabs, etc as their economic, political-vote, or military cannon fodder soldiers in their motarded resource thieving ratrace attempts to save face and uphold the Masonic War is Peace status quo. Pretend peacenik parasites failure to educate their voters, followers, consumer customers, readers, etc about the fundamental root overpopulation and overconsumption causes of scarcity conflict; resulting in millions of citizens around the world delusionally believing themselves to be ‘peaceniks’; while engaging in scarcity combatant ‘crime of aggression acts of war’ procreation and consumption behaviours.

[4] Internationally all nations must act collectively: There is currently an absence of sufficient ecologically literate unconditional co-operator political leaders worldwide willing to agree to enact and enforce international Ecology of Peace social contract jurisprudence.

Overcoming Obstacles: Character: the road to Ecology of Peace Parris Island:

[1] EoP Character: provided with EoP facts and evidence, the egologically literate individual intellectually and psychologically confronts those facts to amend their existential worldview and behaviour to voluntarily become an unconditional Ecology of Peace co-operator.

[2] WiP Force: no amount of EoP facts or evidence will convince the egologically illiterate intellect or psyche to amend their existential worldview and behaviour to voluntarily become an unconditional Ecology of Peace co-operator. Egologically illiterate beings only respect violence.

[3] Since so many of the worlds political and corporate leaders; appear to lack an Ecology of Peace unconditional co-operator character backbone; it is an ecological military necessity for military, intelligence agency and legal authorities to provide them with this ‘shut the fuck up and co-operate; or your genes will be exterminated from the genepool’ coercive threat of force incentive opportunity of growing themselves a goddamn Ecology of Peace unconditional co-operator character and spine.

Overview of Ecology of Peace social contract proceedings:

MILINT Earth Day EoP submission to Swiss Federal Council:

23

The EoP PoW submission to Swiss Federal Council Re: Geneva Convention

Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War, ITO Articles 142 & 14372 (PDF73) states, among74 others:

“The seventh principle of humanitarian action in armed conflict says: “Contextualization: Effective humanitarian action should encompass a comprehensive view of overall needs and of the impact of interventions. Encouraging respect for human rights and addressing the underlying causes of conflicts are essential elements.”” - Dec 1994: Dept of the Army, Field Manual 100-23, Peace

Operations.

The general argument of this submission argues on behalf of the Ecological Overshoot Scarcity Conflict Sustainable Security Military Necessity that all Eco and Ego logically Illiterate International Treaty’s addressing war or peace issues, which do not address the underlying ecological overshoot and civilized patriarchy root causes of conflict; should be deemed fraudulent and hence null and void; or appropriately amended. Suggested Definitions: [16] Breeding/Consumption Scarcity Combatant Parties to the Conflict: [16.1] Any individual, organisation or nation whose procreation or consumption footprint violates its commons carrying capacity limits; should be designated as a ‘breeding/consumption’ scarcity combatant party to any local, regional, national or international resource scarcity related conflict. [17] Breeding/Consumption Weapons of War: [17.1] “We must all understand that the most potent weapons of war are the penis, the womb, and the ego. Therefore, if you cannot convince a group to control its population and consumption, to below carrying capacity limits; by discussion, debate, intelligent analysis, etc.; you must consider their action in using the penis and the womb to increase population; or using the ego to consume in violation of carrying capacity limits; an Act of War” – Amended version of quote by Judge Jason G. Brent, in Humans: An Endangered Species.

[18] Biological Warfare: [18.1] Biological Warfare is simply a symptom of breeding and consumption biological behaviors. The most dangerous root cause biological warfare ingredients are (a) male sperm; (b) female ovaries; and (c) ego-gender insecurity memeplexes that have hijacked our brain-matter/minds; to engage in breeding war and consumption warfare behaviour; resulting in ecological overshot, standing armies and finally military biological warfare. [19] Chemical Warfare: [19.1] Chemical Warfare is simply a symptom of breeding and consumption chemical behaviors. The most dangerous root cause chemical warfare ingredients are (a) male sperm; (b) female ovaries; and (c) ego-gender insecurity memeplexes that have hijacked our brain-matter/minds; to engage in breeding war and consumption warfare behaviour; resulting in ecological overshot, standing armies and finally military chemical warfare. [20] Fraud of UN ‘Peace’ and ‘War’ Treaties: [20.1] Any United Nations endorsed international treaty related to ‘war’ or ‘peace’ that ignores specifically addressing the breeding war and consumption war violation of carrying capacity limits root causes of ecological overshoot, which subsequently manifests as cannon fodder standing armies and their creation of military chemical, biological, technological, electronic and other related warfare ingredients, is based upon deception and fraud.

Objections to Ecology of Peace social contract:

WiP Objectors Motivations: In the absence of individuals from War is Peace cultures who object to this Ecology of Peace submission filing objection briefs clarifying their objection arguments, it is not possible to say with certainty what their objection motivations are. The Clerk suspects objectors motivations to be any one or a combination of the following: Flat Earthers: They are ecologically illiterate: Ecologically deaf, dumb and blind clueless of impending Peak Resources MadMax Armageddon75 reality, and/or its overpopulation76 and overconsumption77 causes. Fundamentalists:

Egologically Illiterate and/or Mi$ery Para$ites: They got their ego's and bank balances stuck in the misery – selective84 anti-racism, anti-colonialism, anti-imperialism, anti-zionism, anti-misogyny, anti-war, etc – profiteering till / cookie jar’.

Conclusion: Relief Requested:

Supporting EoP PoW Applicants to support Military and National Security officials to nullify the ecologically illiterate Flat Earth unsustainable Masonic War is Peace freedumb slavery international law social contract, that procedurally denies military and intelligence agency officials the opportunity of addressing the root causes of scarcity-conflict resource war threats to national and international security and replacing it with an Ecology of Peace responsible freedom international law social contract that implements orderly and humane depopulation and consumption to ecological carrying capacity limits; by legally requiring all states to restrict their citizens procreation and consumption to below ecological carrying capacity limits; and all corporate, state and individual to restrict extraction and production of non-renewable and renewable resources to ecological carrying capacity limits; as follows:

MILITARY NECESSITY & THE RENDULIC RULE:

[1] Necessity Defence: International and Foreign Law:

[1.1] The rationale of the necessity defense is not that a person, when faced with the pressure of circumstances of nature, lacks the mental element which the crime in question requires. Rather, it is this reason of public policy: the law ought to promote the achievement of higher values at the expense of lesser values, and sometimes the greater good for society will be accomplished by violating the literal language of the criminal law.123

[1.2] The principle of the necessity defence is rooted in common law and any accused pleading to necessity argues that their actions were justified or an exculpation for breaking the law. Defendants who plead to necessity – whether common law necessity, political necessity (civil disobedience) or military necessity - argue that they should not be held liable for their actions as being criminal, because their conduct was necessary to prevent some greater harm.

[2] As argued in The Necessity Defense in Civil Disobedience Cases: Bring in the

Jury, by William P. Quigley:

[2.1] [..] The doctrine of necessity, with its inevitable weighing of choices of evil, holds that certain conduct, though it violates the law and produces harm, is justified because it averts a greater evil and hence produces a net social gain or benefit to society.124

[2.2] Glanville Williams expressed the necessity doctrine this way: “[S]ome acts that would otherwise be wrong are rendered rightful by a good purpose, or by the necessity of choosing the lesser of two evils.”125 He offers this example: “Suppose that a dike threatens to give way, and the actor is faced with the choice of either making a breach in the dike, which he knows will result in one or two people being drowned, or doing nothing, in which case he knows that the dike will burst at another point involving a whole town in sudden destruction. In such a situation, where there is an unhappy choice between the destruction of one life and the destruction of many, utilitarian philosophy would certainly justify the actor in preferring the lesser evil.”126

[3] According to Civil Disobedience and the Necessity Defence127:

[3.1] [If] the [necessity] defense is allowed, the jury is called upon to weigh controversial political issues and to function as the “conscience of the community.” 123 Wayne R. Lafave, Criminal Law, § 5.4, at 477 (3d ed. 2000). 124 See Joseph J. Simeone, “Survivors” of the Eternal Sea: A Short True Story, 45 St. Louis U. L.J. 1123, 1141 (2001). 125 Glanville Williams, The Sanctity of Life and the Criminal Law 198 (1957). 126 Glanvill Williams, The Sanctity of Life and the Criminal Law 198 (1957). At 199-200 127 http://law.unh.edu/assets/images/uploads/publications/pierce-law-review-vol06-no1-cohan.pdf

48

“Reflected in the jury’s decision is a judgment of whether, under all the circumstances of the event and in the light of all known about the defendant, the prohibited act, if committed, deserves condemnation by the law.”128 In cases where judges have been persuaded to allow the necessity defense, juries have, often enough, delivered not guilty verdicts.

[3.2] [..] When judges have allowed the necessity defense to go to a jury in civil disobedience cases, more often than not the defendants are acquitted.129 There are a number of cases in which charges were dropped after the judge announced that the necessity defense would be permitted. 130

[4] In Nuclear War, Citizen Intervention, and the Necessity Defense131, Robert Aldridge and Virginia Stark, document numerous cases of Common Law and Civil Disobedience Necessity Defence Cases which resulted in Innocence verdicts or severe Mitigation of Sentencing.

[5] Common Law Necessity Defence Cases Resulting in Innocence

Verdicts or Severe Mitigation of Sentencing:

[5.1] In Regina v Dudley and Stephens (1884) 14 QBD 273, three crew members and a cabin boy escaped a shipwreck to spend eighteen days on a boat, over 1,000 miles from land, with no water and only two one pound tins of turnips. After four days, they caught and ate a small turtle. That was the only food that they had eaten prior to the twentieth day of being lost at sea. Ultimately, two of the crew members killed the ailing cabin boy and “fed upon the body and blood of the boy for four days.” Four days later, they were rescued. Two of the men were charged with murder. The court found that the cabin boy would likely have died by the time they were rescued and that the crew members, but for their conduct, would probably have died as well. The Queen's Bench Division Judges held that the defendants were guilty of murder in killing the cabin boy and stated that their obvious necessity was no defence. The defendants were sentenced to death, but this was subsequently commuted to six months' imprisonment.

[5.2] In Spakes v. State, 913 S.W.2d 597 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996), the Texas Criminal Appeals Court allowed the jury to be instructed on the necessity defense before deliberating the verdict for an inmate whose three cellmates had planned an escape and threatened to slit his throat if he did not accompany them. The defendant inmate argued that because of the terribly violent crimes of which his cellmates had been convicted (one had bragged about chopping his girlfriend up

128 Everett v. United States, 336 F.2d 979, 985–86 (D.C. Cir. 1964) (Wright, J., dissenting). 129 When the necessity defense is actually submitted to the trier of fact in civil disobedience cases, defendants have usually been acquitted. See Bernard D. Lambek, Necessity and International Law: Arguments for the Legality of Civil Disobedience, 5 YALE L. & POL’Y REV. 472, 475 (1986), note 7, at 473. 130 People v. Gray, 571 N.Y.S.2d 851, 853 (N.Y. Crim. Ct. 1991). 131 http://digitalcommons.law.scu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1887&context=lawreview

with an ax), it was a necessity that he break the law, by accompanying them in their escape.

[5.3] In United States v. Ashton, 24 F. Cas. 873, 873-74 (C.C.D. Mass 1834) (No. 14,470), sailors prosecuted for mutiny were found not guilty, after arguing the necessity for their mutiny based upon the dangerously leaky ship and that this danger had been concealed from them until after they left port. Circuit Justice Story found them not guilty of mutiny.

[5.4] In United States v. Holmes, 26 F. Cas. 360 (E.D. Pa. 1842) (No. 15,383), Holmes was involved in a shipwreck, where the crew were charged with manslaughter for throwing sixteen passengers overboard in a frantic attempt to lighten a sinking lifeboat. The Prosecutor argued the passengers should be protected at all costs, whereas the Defence placed the jurors in the sinking lifeboat with the defendant. The Defendant was found guilty, but the jurors requested leniency, to which the court complied by sentencing the defendant to six months in prison and a fine of twenty dollars.

[5.5] In the 1919 Arizona decision of State v. Wooten, commonly referred to as the Bisbee Deportation case, Professor Morris132 describes the acquittal of a Sherrif

based upon the ‘necessity’ for committing Kidnapping as follows: On April 26, 1917, soon after the United States entered World War I,

the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) called a strike of copper

miners in Cochise County, Arizona. On July 12, 1917, the county

sheriff led a posse that rounded up and deported over 1,000 members

of the IWW. One of the posse was brought to trial on charges of

kidnapping. He offered to prove that the strikers were trying to

obstruct the war, had stored up a large amount of ammunition, and

had threatened citizens; that help from federal troops had been

sought to no avail; and that the leader of the local strike had told

the sheriff he could no longer control his men. On these facts, he

asserted the defense of necessity.

The judge recognized the defense. He ruled that evidence of

necessity could be excluded only if it were completely inadequate as

a matter of law to establish the defense, and that the weight and

sufficiency of the evidence were for the jury to decide—even in a case which “aroused great public interest.” The jury heard the evidence, deliberated for fifteen minutes, and

returned a verdict of “Not Guilty” on the first ballot.

sued by one of the owners. On appeal, the California Supreme Court held that the action was proper because:

The right to destroy property, to prevent the spread of a

conflagration, has been traced to the highest law of

necessity, and the natural rights of man, independent of

society and the civil government. "It is referred by moralists

and jurists as the same great principle which justifies the

exclusive appropriation of a plank in a shipwreck, though the

life of another be sacrificed; with the throwing overboard

goods in a tempest, for the safety of the vessel; with the

trespassing upon the lands of another, to escape death by an

enemy. It rests upon the maxim, Necessitas inducit privilegium quod

jura private." [Necessity leads to privileges because of private

justice].

[6] Civil Disobedience Political Necessity Defence Cases Resulting in

Innocence Verdicts or Severe Mitigation of Sentencing:

[6.1] In State v. Mouer (Columbia Co. Dist. Ct., Dec. 12-16, 1977), dozens of protestors in Oregon who were conducting a civil disobedience sit-in at a nuclear power plant were arrested and charged with criminal trespass. At trial, the judge allowed the defendants to raise the state necessity defense (called the choice of evils defense) and the defendants were acquitted by the jury.

[6.2] In People v. Brown (Lake County, Jan. 1979), protesters in Illinois blocked the entrance to a nuclear power plant and were charged with criminal trespass. Relying on the defense of necessity, they argued that they had not created the situation that they had sought to correct and had reasonably believed that their conduct was necessary to avoid the harm of a nuclear accident. A doctor testified for the defense about the damaging effects of low-level radiation. All of the defendants were subsequently acquitted.

[6.3] In People v. Block (Galt Judicial Dist., Sacramento Co. Mun. Ct., Aug. 14, 1979), eleven California protestors were charged with trespass and resisting arrest in connection with a March 31, 1979 demonstration at the Rancho Seco Nuclear Power Plant. The defendants had climbed over a fence and staged a sit-in on the grounds of the plant. At trial, the judge allowed the necessity defense to be presented to the jury. “After seven weeks of trial, nine of the defendants received a split jury verdict and one was acquitted, apparently because he had a long history of activism and had convinced the jury that he had exhausted all legal means to stop the harm” posed by the power plant. The cases against those defendants who received a split jury verdict were eventually dropped.

[6.4] In California v. Lemnitzer, No. 27106E (Pleasanton-Livermore Mun. Ct. Feb. 1, 1982) the trial of a protestor who condemned the development of nuclear weapons at the Lawrence Livermore Lab in California ended in a hung jury after the

51

court allowed the presentation of evidence supporting the necessity defense. On retrial, the protestor, John Lemnitzer, was acquitted.

[6.5] In Vermont v. Keller, No. 1372-4-84-CNCR (Vt. Dist. Ct. Nov. 17, 1984) protestors staged a sit-in at the Vermont office of United States Senator Robert Stafford in an effort to get a public meeting about American policy in Central America. These actions resulted in their arrest on trespass charges. At trial, the court allowed the defendants to raise the defenses of necessity, international law, including the Nuremberg principles, and the First and Fourteenth Amendments. The court allowed a number of impressive experts133 to testify about human rights atrocities in El Salvador and Nicaragua, as well as the important role of protest in American foreign policy. The defendants further testified they had attempted “every reasonable manner to communicate” with the Senator.134 The jury acquitted all of the defendants.

[6.6] In Michigan v. Jones et al., Nos. 83-101194-101228 (Oakland County Dist. Ct. 1984) the State of Michigan held nine separate trials prosecuting fifty-one defendants who blocked access to a plant where cruise missile engines were being manufactured. The defendants were charged with trespass, disturbing the peace, blocking access, and conspiracy. In a trial where the necessity defense was allowed, the jury acquitted the defendants of all charges except failure to obey a traffic officer. In other cases where the necessity defense was allowed, the juries acquitted the defendants on all charges. In trials where the judge did not allow necessity defenses, the defendants were convicted on several counts.

[6.7] In Michigan v. Largrou, Nos. 85-000098, 99, 100, 102 (Oakland County Dist. Ct. 1985), three protestors at a Michigan cruise missile plant were charged in 1985 with trespass and criminal damage to a fence. The court found that although the defendants willfully violated the law, they did so without malice and for the public purpose of protest. All three were acquitted.

[6.8] In People v. Jarka, Nos. 002170, 002196-002212, 00214, 00236, 00238 (Ill. Cir. Ct. Apr. 15, 1985), an Illinois jury acquitted twenty defendants who protested against the American military invasion of Central America by conducting a sit-in which blocked the road to the Great Lakes Naval Training Center. The protestors successfully invoked the doctrine of necessity and were allowed to put eight expert witnesses on the stand to offer evidence of the effect of nuclear weapons, American intervention in Central America, and international law. The trial judge gave the jury

133 The expert witnesses included: Sonya Hernández (political violence in El Salvador), Janet Shenk (human rights in El Salvador), Phil Bourgois (Salvadoran refugees), Shaila Sherwin (refugees), David Rosenberg (United States/contra war on Nicaragua), David McMichael (contra aid), Richard Garfield (health programs of Nicaraguan Government), John Stockwell (CIA activities), Howard Zinn (history of American protest movements), Matthew Countryman (American military aid to Central America), Gladys Sánchez (government repression of Salvadoran churches), Richard Falk, and Ramsey Clark (citizens’ role in American foreign policy). See also National Lawyers Guild 1985 Convention Workshop, Creative Defenses in Civil Disobedience Cases, 42 GUILD PRAC. 97-98 (1985) 134 People v. Gray, 571 N.Y.S.2d 851, 861 (N.Y. Crim. Ct.1991) quoting Keller, No. 1372-4-84-CNCR.

an instruction135 that stated that the threat and use of nuclear weapons violated international law.

[6.9] In Chicago v. Streeter, Nos. 85-108644, 48, 49, 51, 52, 120323, 26, 27 (Cir. Ct., Cook County Ill. May 1985), a jury was faced with eight protestors who were charged with trespass for refusing to leave the office of the South African consul. The jury was allowed to hear expert evidence about the defense of necessity and international crimes committed by the apartheid policies of South Africa. It took the jury two and a half hours to acquit the defendants.

[6.10] In Washington v. Heller (Seattle Mun. Ct. 1985), eight doctors were charged with trespassing for protests staged on the porch of the home of the South African consul. They were allowed to raise the defense of necessity and admit expert testimony about the medical and other effects of apartheid. The Seattle jury acquitted after little more than an hour and made a post-trial statement supporting anti-apartheid protests.136

[6.11] In Colorado v. Bock (Denver County Ct. June 12, 1985), twenty-two Pledge of Resistance members were charged with trespass for occupying the office of a United States Senator from Colorado to protest American policy in Central America. The jurors, who were allowed to hear evidence of necessity, were instructed that the defendants could use civil disobedience only as an “emergency measure to avoid imminent public or private injury” but that the injury did not have to be directed against the defendants. The jury acquitted all of the defendants.

[6.12] In Massachusetts v. Carter, No. 86-45 CR 7475 (Hampshire Dist. Ct. 1987), the daughter of former President Jimmy Carter, Amy Carter, was arrested with fifty-nine others and charged with trespass and disorderly conduct at Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) recruitment activities on the campus of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. The fifteen defendants were allowed to present evidence to support the necessity defense, international law, and the Nuremberg principles. The defendants argued that the crimes they committed were of far lesser harm than those being committed by the CIA in Central America and offered testimony by a former contra leader and former CIA and government officials. The judge instructed the jury that they could acquit the defendants if they concluded that the defendants acted out of a belief that their protest would help stop the clear and immediate threat of public harm. The jury acquitted them in three hours.

[6.13] In Washington v. Bass, Nos. 4750-038, -395 to -400 (Thurston County Dist. Ct. April 8, 1987), several dozen students of Evergreen State College sat in the Washington State Capitol in support of an anti-apartheid disinvestment bill. Seven

53

students refused orders to leave and were arrested and charged with trespass and disorderly conduct. At their trial, the defendants were allowed to admit statistical and expert evidence of necessity, international law, and the Nuremberg defense about the situation in South Africa. The jury acquitted all of the defendants.

[6.14] In Illinois v. Fish (Skokie Cir. Ct. Aug. 1987) twenty-six people were arrested for trespassing at the Arlington Heights Army Reserve Training Center. The trial court allowed the jury to hear evidence about the necessity defense. All of the defendants were acquitted.

[6.15] In State v. McMillan, No. D 00518 (San Luis Obispo Jud. Dist. Mun. Ct., Cal. Oct. 13, 1987), fourteen protestors blockaded Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant to prevent the loading of fuel rods. The trial judge allowed fourteen expert witnesses to offer testimony about related potential harm for the area and allowed the defendants to testify about their own related fears. The judge applied the necessity defense and acquitted the defendants.

[6.16] In 1988, a North Carolina court acquitted two Tuscarora Indians of charges in connection with their taking of twenty hostages at the office of a local newspaper to protest the alleged corruption of county officials.137

[6.17] In Massachusetts v. Schaeffer-Duffy (Worcester Dist. Ct. 1989), five defendants tried to pass out leaflets to employees at a GTE nuclear weapons facility and prayed outside the building when they were denied entry. The judge denied the prosecutor’s motion in limine to prevent evidence of necessity. The jury was allowed to hear the defendants’ testimony about their personal efforts to stop nuclear weapons and their religious beliefs, and expert testimony about the threats of the MX missile, religious teachings against nuclear weapons, and the historical effectiveness of civil disobedience. The jury acquitted the defendants of trespass.

[6.18] In 1990, in Omaha, Nebraska, a jury acquitted seventeen anti-abortion protestors because of the necessity defense. The trial judge relied on the defense to overturn the trespassing convictions of an additional eighteen defendants.138

[6.19] In West Valley City v. Hirshi, No. 891003031-3 MC (Salt Lake County, Ut. Cir. Ct., W. Valley Dept. 1990), protestors were charged with criminal trespass after entering property on which Trident II nuclear missile engines were being manufactured in Salt Lake City. The trial judge permitted evidence and instructed the jury on defenses based on necessity, international law, the First Amendment, and the Nuremberg Principles. The jury acquitted the defendants.

[6.20] In People v. Gray, 571 N.Y.S.2d 851, 861-62 (N.Y. Crim. Ct.1991), a two-day bench trial resulted in the acquittal of six protestors for disorderly conduct because of the necessity defense. The protestors had blocked traffic in Manhattan to protest the

opening of a bike and pedestrian lane to vehicular traffic. Judge Laura Safer-Espinoza issued a forty-two page decision reviewing dozens of decisions involving the necessity defense and provided the most extensive judicial overview of the necessity defense in state courts to date.

[6.21] In 1991, a Chicago jury acquitted a Catholic priest of criminal charges for damage to the inner-city neighborhood where he was pastor after he admitted painting over three tobacco- and alcohol-related billboards. The defendant argued he should not be convicted because of the necessity defense. The jury deliberated ninety minutes before acquitting the defendant.139

[6.22] In 1993, a jury acquitted a Chicago AIDS activist charged with illegally supplying clean needles because of the necessity defense.140

[6.23] In California v. Halem, No. 135842 (Berkeley Mun. Ct. 1991), the jury came to the same conclusion after hearing evidence that dispensing clean needles without a prescription, though illegal, was necessary to protect people from the spread of the AIDS virus.

[6.24] In Washington v. Brown, No. 85-1295N (Kitsap County Dist. Ct. N. 1985), twenty-four protestors held a vigil in Washington State in protest of a “white train” carrying nuclear weapons. The state arrested twenty of the protestors and charged them with criminal trespass and conspiracy. The defendants filed extensive briefs on the right to present particular defenses to the jury, in support of their motion to dismiss conspiracy charges, and in opposition to the government’s motion in limine. The judge dismissed the conspiracy charges and did not admit evidence on the necessity defense, but it did allow Daniel Ellsberg to testify as an expert on why first-strike nuclear warheads on a train are a potential threat to peace. One defendant pled guilty to both charges. The jury acquitted the remaining nineteen defendants.

[6.25] In Washington v. Karon, No. J85-1136-39 (Benton County Dist. Ct. 1985), four defendants blockaded a federal Plutonium-Uranium extraction facility at Hanford Nuclear Reservation. They were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and failure to disperse. The defendants filed motions in limine to raise necessity, Nuremberg principles, and the Geneva and Hague Conventions as defenses. The trial judge allowed Nuremberg and necessity defenses, permitted expert testimony regarding radiation contamination, and refused expert testimony regarding nuclear war. The court agreed to give international law instructions to the jury. Immediately after the court ruling permitting scientists to testify on radiation contamination, the prosecution moved to dismiss the case and the court granted the motion.

[6.26] In United States v. Braden (W.D. Ky. 1985), twenty-nine demonstrators entered the office of a United States senator as part of the Pledge of Resistance. At their arraignment, the defendants announced their intent to use Nuremberg, necessity,

and First Amendment defenses (freedom of speech includes freedom to be heard; today the only way to be heard is to act). The government dropped all charges prior to trial.

[6.27] In California v. Jerome, Nos. 5450895, 5451038, 5516177, 5516159 (Livermore-Pleasanton Mun. Ct., Alameda County, Traffic Div. 1987), more than thirty protestors blocked the main gate to the Lawrence Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab in a nonviolent sit-in. They were arrested for traffic offenses of blocking and delaying traffic. The Traffic Commissioner agreed to consider expert testimony on the necessity defense and international law (including Nuremberg Principles, Geneva Protocols, and the Hague Convention) via affidavits. The defendants filed affidavits for Daniel Ellsberg (on the effectiveness of nonviolent protests in arousing citizen action), Frank Newman (on international law) and Charles Schwartz (on the role of Livermore Lab in promoting the arms race). Before trial, the judge granted the prosecution’s request to drop all charges.

[7] Military Necessity and International Humanitarian Law:

[7.1] Crimes of War141 and Diakona142 define military necessity as: “a legal concept used in international humanitarian law (IHL) as part of the legal justification for attacks on legitimate military targets that may have adverse, even terrible, consequences for civilians and civilian objects. It means that military forces in planning military actions are permitted to take into account the practical requirements of a military situation at any given moment and the imperatives of winning. The concept of military necessity acknowledges that even under the laws of war, winning the war or battle is a legitimate consideration, though it must be put alongside other considerations of IHL.”

[7.2] Luis Moreno-Ocampo, Chief Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court, investigated allegations of War Crimes during the 2003 invasion of Iraq and published an open letter143 containing his findings. In a section titled "Allegations concerning War Crimes" he did not call it military necessity but summed up the term: “Under international humanitarian law and the Rome Statute, the death of civilians during an armed conflict, no matter how grave and regrettable, does not in itself constitute a war crime. International humanitarian law and the Rome Statute permit belligerents to carry out proportionate attacks against military objectives, even when it is known that some civilian deaths or injuries will occur. A crime occurs if there is an intentional attack directed against civilians (principle of distinction) (Article 8(2)(b)(i)) or an attack is launched on a military objective in the knowledge that the incidental civilian injuries would be clearly excessive in relation

56

to the anticipated military advantage (principle of proportionality) (Article 8(2)(b)(iv).”

[7.3] In Requirements of Military Necessity in International Humanitarian Law

and International Criminal Law144, Nobuo Hayashi, a former Legal Officer in the Office of the Prosecutor, International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia; describes three contexts for the use of military necessity:

A. In a material context, necessity means no more than what is actually needed to achieve a particular goal; nothing more than a given course of action required for the accomplishment of a particular military goal. To the rational soldier of Clausewitzian cast, a good war is one in which every act is “military necessary” - that is, executed professionally and with optimal resource mobilization, and directed towards a clearly defined, strategically sound and reasonably attainable military goal. Here, military necessity is essentially a matter of identifying the range of realistic courses of action having reasonable chances of generating the desired outcome, and selecting and pursuing one that is superior to the others on the strength of its chances and resources efficiency.

B. In the context of norm-creation, the purpose or goal of the act must be legitimate. Once the goals legitimacy is affirmed, what is deemed materially necessary in view of that legitimate goal becomes prima facie permissible, and what is deemed materially unnecessary becomes impermissible.

C. Within the context of positive law, it may constitute an exception to a principal rule, justify an otherwise unlawful act, or excuse an offender for his unlawful act by precluding or reducing his blameworthiness.

[7.4] Within a juridical context, military necessity functions exclusively as an exceptional clause attached to provisions of the law that envisage its admissibility expressly and in advance; where it exempts a measure from certain specific rules of international law prescribing contrary action to the extent that the measured was required for the attainment of a military purpose and otherwise in conformity with that law. It has four requirements: (i) that the measure be taken primarily for some specific military purpose; (ii) that the measure be required for the attainment of that purpose; (iii) that the purpose be in conformity with international humanitarian law; and (iv) that the measure itself be otherwise in conformity with that law.

[8] Military Necessity Justifies ‘Self Defense’ use of Nuclear Weapons:

144 Boston University International Law Journal; Vol. 28:39; pp.39-140 http://www.issafrica.org/anicj/uploads/Hayashi_military_necessity.pdf

57

[8.1] Hayashi writes under ‘Self Preservation/Self Defense’: “Some commentators who rightly reject Kriegsrason145 still advocate a scope of military necessity that would, under certain circumstances, go beyond express exceptional clauses. For example, in Julius Stone’s view, military necessity does - or should, in any event - entitle a state at war to depart from its duties under international law on account of self-preservation. Stone clearly embraced the criticism of what he called military necessity in “such an extended German sense.” His doubts concerned whether this criticism, while valid in relation to Kriegsrason, could be defensibly extended so as to exclude self-preservation146.

[8.2] In the International Court of Justice’s advisory opinion of 8 July 1996, on The legality of the threat or use of nuclear weapons147, the final paragraph states “that such threat or use would generally be contrary to international humanitarian law. The opinion went on to state, however, that the court “cannot lose sight of the fundamental right of every State to survival, and thus its right to resort to self-defence . . . when its survival is at stake.” The court held, by seven votes to seven, with its president‘s casting vote, that it “cannot conclude definitively whether the threat or use of nuclear weapons would be lawful or unlawful in an extreme circumstance of self defence in which the very survival of a State would be at stake.”

[8.3] Hayashi notes: “It may be argued that the courts ambivalence goes beyond the confines of jus ad bellum - the opinion speaks of "an extreme circumstance of self-defence" - to encompass jus in bello148. Some of the dissenting judges149 and experts150 have noted with concern that the opinion may be seen as embracing the view that situations constituting or analogous to self-preservation and involving the right of self-defence may justify the threat or use of nuclear weapons notwithstanding its general incompatibility with international humanitarian law.” 145 This means “the necessities of war take precedence over the rules of war.” 146 Julius Stone, Legal Controls of International Conflict: A Treatise on the Dynamics of Disputes - And War - Law (1954): pp 352-53 352-53 (“This reasoning, however, would forbid departure from the rules of war-law even in face of the direst needs of survival. Yet it remains ground common to British, American, French, Italian and other publicists, as well as German, that a State is privileged, in title of self-preservation, to violate its ordinary duties under international law, even towards States with which it is at peace; and may also itself determine when its self-preservation is involved. Neither practice nor the literature explain satisfactorily how the privilege based on self-preservation in times of peace can be denied to States at war. If, as the Writer believes, the German doctrine is properly condemned, a frank review of the meaning of the self-preservation doctrine remains all the more urgent.”) (emphasis added, footnotes omitted). But see N.C.H. Dunbar, Military Necessity in War Crimes Trials, in BRIT. Y.B. INT’L L. 442, 443 (1952) (“[T]he phrase ‘necessity in self-preservation’ is more properly employed to describe a danger or emergency of such proportions as to threaten immediately the vital interests, and, perhaps, the very existence, of the state itself. Military necessity should be confined to the plight in which armed forces may find themselves under stress of active warfare.”). 147 http://www.un.org/law/icjsum/9623.htm 148 Christopher Greenwood, Jus Ad Bellum and Jus in Bello in the Nuclear Weapons Advisory Opinion, in International Law, The International Court of Justice and Nuclear Weapons 247, 249-50 (Lawrence Boisson de Chazournes & Philippe Sands eds, 1999) 149 Legality of the Threat or Use of Nuclear Weapons, Advisory Opinion, 1996 I.C.J. 226, at 590 (Judge Higgins, dissenting); at 513-20 (Judge Weeramantry, dissenting). 150 International Law, The International Court of Justice and Nuclear Weapons: (i) Luigi Condorelli, Le droit international humanitaire, ou l'exploration par la cour d'une terra a peu pres incognita pour elle, at 229, 244-45; (ii) Judith Graham, Necessity and Proportionality in Jus ad Bellum and Jus in Bello, note 46, at 275, 292; (iii) Marcelo G Kohen, The Notion of 'State Survival', note 46, at 293, 310.

[9] Military Necessity in Nuremberg German High Command Trial:

[9.1] In the Trial of Wilhelm von Leeb and Thirteen Others: United States Military Tribunal, Nuremberg, 30th December, 1947 – 28 the October, 1948151

[9.2] Wilhelm von Leeb and the other thirteen accused in this case were former high-ranking officers in the German Army and Navy, and officers holding high positions in the German High Command (OKW) were charged with Crimes against Peace, War Crimes, Crimes against Humanity and with Conspiracy to commit such crimes. The War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity charged against them included murder and ill-treatment of prisoners of war and of the civilian population in the occupied territories and their use in prohibited work; discrimination against and persecution and execution of Jews and other sections of the population by the Wehrmacht in co-operation with the Einsatzgruppen and Sonderkommandos of the SD, SIPO and the Secret Field Police; plunder and spoliation and the enforcement of the slave labour programme of the Reich.

[9.3] They were acquitted of some of the charges, where it was ascertained that military necessity existed objectively and/or subjectively in the particular circumstances.

[9.4] The Tribunal argued that “The devastation prohibited by the Hague Rules and the usages of war is that not warranted by military necessity. This rule is clear enough but the factual determination as to what constitutes military necessity is difficult. Defendants in this case were in many instances in retreat under arduous conditions wherein their commands were in serious danger of being cut off. Under such circumstances, a commander must necessarily make quick decisions to meet the particular situation of his command. A great deal of latitude must be accorded to him under such circumstances. What constitutes devastation beyond military necessity in these situations requires detailed proof of an operational and tactical nature. We do not feel that in this case the proof is ample to establish the guilt of any defendant herein on this charge.”

[9.5] Thus, in dealing with Reinhardt's alleged responsibility for plunder and spoliation, the Tribunal said: “The evidence on the matter of plunder and spoliation shows great ruthlessness, but we are not satisfied that it shows beyond a reasonable doubt, acts that were not justified by military necessity.”

[10] The Rendulic Rule: Importance of the Subjective Test:

[10.1] In The Law of Armed Conflict: International Humanitarian Law in War, Gary D Solis provides an overview of the Rendulic Rule152 in evaluation of the subjective test in evaluating a defence of Military Necessity:

151 http://www.worldcourts.com/imt/eng/decisions/1948.10.28_United_States_v_von_Leeb.pdf

[10.2] “In October 1944, Generaloberst Lothar Rendulic was Armed Forces Commander North, which included command of Nazi Forces in Norway. (Between World Wars I and II, Rendulic had practiced law in his native Austria.) Following World War II, he was prosecuted for, among other charges, issuing an order “for the complete destruction of all shelter and means of existence in, and the total evacuation of the entire civilian population of the northern Norwegian province of Finmark...” Entire villages were destroyed, bridges and highways bombed, and port installations wrecked. Tried by an American military commission, Rendulic's defence was military necessity. He presented evidence that the Norwegian population would not voluntarily evacuate and that rapidly approaching Russian forces would use existing housing as shelter and exploit the local population's knowledge of the area to the detriment of retreating German forces. The Tribunal acquitted Rendulic of the charge, finding reasonable his belief that military necessity mandated his orders. His case offers one of the few adjudicated views of what constitutes military necessity.

[10.3] From the Tribunals opinion:

[10.4] “Military necessity has been invoked by the defendant's as justifying.. the destruction of villages and towns in an occupied territory... The destruction of property to be lawful must be imperatively demanded by the necessities of war... There must be some reasonable connection between the destruction of property and the overcoming of the enemy forces. It is lawful to destroy railways, lines of communication, or any other property that might be utilized by the enemy. Private homes and churches even may be destroyed if necessary for military operations. It does not admit the wanton devastation of a district or the wilful infliction of suffering upon its inhabitants for the sake of suffering alone...

[10.5] “The evidence shows that the Russians had very excellent troops in pursuit of the Germans. Two or three land routes were open to them as well as landings by sea behind German lines... The information obtained concerning the intentions of the Russians was limited.. It was with this situation confronting him that he carried out the "scorched earth" policy in the Norwegian province of Finmark.. The destruction was as complete as an efficient army could do it...

[10.6] “There is evidence in the record that there was no military necessity for this destruction and devastation. An examination of the facts in retrospect can well sustain this conclusion. But we are obliged to judge the situation as it appeared to the defendant at the time. If the facts were such as would justify the action by the exercise of judgement, after giving consideration to all the factors and existing possibilities, even though the conclusion reached may have been faulty, it cannot be said to be criminal. After giving careful consideration to all the evidence on the 152 The Hostages Trial: Trial of Wilhelm List and Others; United States Military Tribunal, Nuremberg, 8 July 1947 - 19 February 1948

subject, we are convinced that the defendant cannot be held criminally responsible although when viewed in retrospect, the danger did not actually exist....

[10.7] “..... We are not called upon to determine whether urgent military necessity for the devastation and destruction in the province of Finmark actually existed. We are concerned with the question whether the defendant at the time of its occurrence acted within the limits of honest judgement on the basis of the conditions prevailing at the time. The course of a military operation by the enemy is loaded with uncertainties... It is our considered opinion that the conditions, as they appeared to the defendant at the time, were sufficient upon which he could honestly conclude that urgent military necessity warranted the decision made. This being true, the defendant may have erred in the exercise of his judgement but he was guilty of no criminal act. We find the defendant not guilty of the charge.

[10.8] The Rendulic standard remains unchanged. Fifty-four years later, in 2003, the ICTY wrote: “In determining whether an attack was proportionate it is necessary to examine whether a reasonably well-informed person in the circumstances of the actual perpetrator, making reasonable use of the information available to him or her, could have expected excessive civilian casualties to result from the attack.”153

[11] Rendulic Rule: Subjective Honesty in current Military Doctrine:

[11.1] In Unexpected Consequences From Knock-On Effects: A Different

Standard for Computer Network Operations?154, Eric Talbot Jensen writes:

A. “The standard the Court held General Rendulic to was the requirement to give "consideration to all factors and existing possibilities" as they "appeared to the defendant at the time."”

B. “Note that the requirement to give consideration to all factors and existing possibilities is balanced with the overarching constraint of taking facts as they appear at the time of the decision. Must the commander remain in inaction until he feels he has turned over every stone in search of that last shred of information concerning all factors and possibilities that might affect his decision? The answer must be "no." Instead, he must act in good faith and, in accordance with GPI, do everything feasible to get this information.”

PRIVATE PROSECUTION

[13] A private prosecution is a criminal proceeding initiated by an individual or private

organisation (such as a prosecution association) instead of by a public prosecutor who

represents the state. Private prosecutions are allowed in many jurisdictions under

common law, but have become rare in modern times as most prosecutions are now

handled by professional public prosecutors instead of private individuals who retain (or

are themselves) barristers.

[14] In the United Kingdom the right of a private individual to bring a criminal

prosecution is a historical one originating in the earliest days of the legal system. It has

been described as a “useful constitutional safeguard against capricious, corrupt or biased failure or refusal of those authorities to prosecute offenders against the criminal

law.”164 The Prosecutor, Magistrate or Attorney General’s consent may be required to ‘grant process’ by ascertaining: (i) whether the allegation is of an offence known to the law and if so whether the essential ingredients of the offence are prima facie present;

(ii) that the offence alleged is not 'out of time'; (iii) that the court has jurisdiction; (iv)

whether the informant has the necessary authority to prosecute.165 The ‘laying of information’ must describe the offence in ordinary language166; identifies any

legislation that created the offence167; and contain particulars of the conduct

164 Gouriet v Union of Post Office Workers [1977] 3 All ER 70; as reported in: House of Commons Library: Private prosecutions; Standard Note: SN/HA/5281; Last updated: 6 September 2010; Author: Sally Almandras; Section: Home Affairs: http://www.parliament.uk/briefing-papers/SN05281.pdf [retrieved 01/11/2014] 165 R v West London Justices, ex parte Klahn [1979] 2 All ER 221. Determining whether the informant has “the necessary authority” would usually involve considering whether any necessary consents to prosecution have been obtained: see section 2.2 of this note for further details. 166 R.7.3(1)(a)(i) Crim.PR. 167 R.7.3(1)(a)(ii) Crim.PR.

constituting the commission of the offence as to make clear what the prosecutor alleges

against the defendant.168

[15] In Canada no Criminal Code provision expressly authorizes private prosecutions;

but several provisions, impliedly recognize such proceedings. Section 504 of the Code

permits anyone to lay am information to proceed as a private prosecution, but

generally the Attorney General's consent169 is required.170

[16] In the United States private prosecutions are still legal in at least 30 states171; and

have also been banned in various states. Private prosecutions are legal in federal court

in cases of criminal contempt. In 2010, the Supreme Court declined to review172 a

contempt conviction stemming from a private prosecution in the District of Columbia.

Then Solicitor General Elena Kagan (now a Supreme Court justice) filed an amicus

brief in support of the private prosecution. In addition to criminal contempt cases,

Congress or a federal judge can appoint a private or special prosecutor if the

Department of Justice refuses to prosecute. Some members of the US legal community

(see Private Vengeance173 and the Public Good and Let’s Revive Private Prosecutions174) call for bringing back private prosecutions, especially in cases where

the public prosecutor declines to prosecute powerful corporate interests or fellow

officials.175

[17] In South Africa the National Environmental Management Act (107/1998), read

together with the Criminal Procedure Act (51/1977), expressly provide for individuals

to institute private criminal prosecutions for the protection of the environment; once

consented to by the Prosecutor.176

[18] In Crookes v Sibisi177 the court dealt with private prosecutions in general and

supported an approach similar to that in Section 33(4) of the National Environmental

Management Act. It held that while the purpose of the right of private prosecution is

“to operate as a safety valve in society and to reduce the temptation that would otherwise be offered to an aggrieved person to take the law in their own hands”, it is important that this right not be abused and there should be a clear basis for bringing

the private prosecution.

[19] The National Environmental Management Act provides for a number of

environmental crimes – most importantly, breach of the duty of care to remediate

168 McCrue Law: A Guide to Private Prosecution: http://www.mccue-law.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/UK-guide-to-private-prosecution1.pdf 169 http://justice.alberta.ca/programs_services/criminal_pros/crown_prosecutor/Pages/private_prosecutions.aspx 170 http://www.justice4you.org/self-represented-private.php [retrieved 01/11/2014] 171 http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/845749?uid=2&uid=4&sid=21105095197163 172 http://www.scotusblog.com/2010/04/plea-bargains-and-private-prosecutors/ 173 http://scholarship.law.upenn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1128&context=jcl 174 http://www.constitution.org/uslaw/privpros.htm 175 http://dissidentvoice.org/2014/06/private-prosecutions/ 176 http://www.internationallawoffice.com/newsletters/detail.aspx?g=2cd62443-107f-41c7-ad8e-93918b3bc161#NEMA 177 [2010] JOL 25407 (KZP).

pollution and environmental degradation in Section 28 and offences relating to the

commencement of listed activities which have a detrimental effect on the environment

without the compulsory environmental authorisation.

[20] While the competent environmental authorities are tasked with enforcing the

National Environmental Management Act (in particular, Section 28), private

individuals may also institute proceedings against parties that pollute the

environment. Section 32 of the act gives standing to "any person or group of persons" to

"seek appropriate relief in respect of any breach or threatened breach of any provision

of [the act]...or any other statutory provision concerned with the protection of the

environment or the use of natural resources" in circumstances where such person is

acting: (a) in that person's or group of person's own interest; (b) in the interest of, or on

behalf of, a person who is, for practical reasons, unable to institute such proceedings;

(c) in the interest of or on behalf of a group or class of persons whose interests are

affected; (d) in the public interest; or (e) in the interest of protecting the environment.

[21] Therefore, a person who falls within the ambit of Section 32 may institute

proceedings against any party, whether natural or legal,(1) for the protection of the

environment.(2) The provisions governing private prosecutions are found in Section

33(1), which states that: "Any person may, in the public interest; or in the interest of

the protection of the environment, institute and conduct a prosecution in respect of any

breach or threatened breach of any duty, other than a public duty resting on an organ

of state, in any national or provincial legislation or municipal by-law, or any

regulation, licence, permission or authorisation issued in terms of such legislation,

where that duty is concerned with the protection of the environment and the breach of

that duty is an offence."

[22] The person prosecuting privately must give notice to the public prosecutor of his or

her intention to institute such proceedings; and if the public prosecutor objects, they

should do so in writing, by stating that he or she also intends to prosecute the alleged

offence.

CRIMES OF AGRESSION

Rome Statute: Article 5(2) Crime of Aggression:

[23] Article 5: Crimes within the jurisdiction of the Court: (1)(d) refers to the undefined

‘crime of aggression’. Section (2) states “The Court shall exercise jurisdiction over the crime of aggression once a provision is adopted in accordance with articles 121 and 123

defining the crime and setting out the conditions under which the Court shall exercise

65

jurisdiction with respect to this crime. Such a provision shall be consistent with the

relevant provisions of the Charter of the United Nations.”

[24] Legal Tyranny: Vague Definitions and parasitic complex legal

interpretations:

“All law is interpretation. A lawyer uses words inherently imprecise, and when a law is applied to the fact of a new

situation what lawyers do is interpret the code words to deem

them appropriately or inappropriately applied to the case at

hand. To view the law means to understand interpretation. Law has

more to do with Critical Literacy Studies than it probably has to

do with anything else.” - Professor David Skover, Professor of Law, Seattle University

‘Lawyers are either social engineers, or they are parasites. Social Engineer Lawyers aim to eliminate the difference between

what the laws say and mean, and how they are applied; whereas

legal parasites aim to entrench their parasitism from the

difference between what the laws say and mean, and the

application of such differences to their parasitic benefit.’ – Prof. Charlie Houston, Howard Law School

178

[25] In Abstract, Concrete, General, and Specific Terms179, John Friedlander simply clarifies the difference in communicative meaning between abstract and concrete terms:

Language may be our most powerful tool. We use it to understand

our world through listening and reading, and to communicate our

own feelings, needs and desires through speaking and writing.

With strong language skills, we have a much better chance of

understanding and being understood, and of getting what we want

and need from those around us. There are many ways to label or

classify language as we learn to better control it .. by levels

of abstraction or concreteness or generality or specificity.

Abstract terms refer to ideas or concepts; they have no physical

referents.

[Stop right here and reread that definition. Many readers will

find it both vague and boring. Even if you find it interesting,

it may be hard to pin down the meaning. To make the meaning of

this abstract language clearer, we need some examples.]

Examples of abstract terms include love, success, freedom, good,

moral, democracy, and any -ism (chauvinism, Communism, feminism,

racism, sexism). These terms are fairly common and familiar, and

because we recognize them we may imagine that we understand them—but we really can't, because the meanings won't stay still.

178 Simple Justice: The History of Brown v. Board of Education, by Richard Kluger. 179 http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/composition/abstract.htm

66

Take love as an example. You've heard and used that word since

you were three or four years old. Does it mean to you now what it

meant to you when you were five? when you were ten? when you were

fourteen (!)? I'm sure you'll share my certainty that the word

changes meaning when we marry, when we divorce, when we have

children, when we look back at lost parents or spouses or

children. The word stays the same, but the meaning keeps

changing. How about freedom? The word is familiar enough, but

when I say, "I want freedom," what am I talking about? divorce?

self-employment? summer vacation? paid-off debts? my own car?

looser pants? The meaning of freedom won't stay still.

You may think you understand and agree with me when I say, "We

all want success." But surely we don't all want the same things.

Success means different things to each of us, and you can't be

sure of what I mean by that abstract term. On the other hand, if

I say "I want a gold Rolex on my wrist and a Mercedes in my

driveway," you know exactly what I mean (and you know whether you

want the same things or different things). Can you see that

concrete terms are clearer and more interesting than abstract

terms?

If you were a politician, you might prefer abstract terms to

concrete terms. "We'll direct all our considerable resources to

satisfying the needs of our constituents" sounds much better than

"I'll spend $10 million of your taxes on a new highway that will

help my biggest campaign contributor." But your goal as a writer

is not to hide your real meanings, but to make them clear, so

you'll work to use fewer abstract terms and more concrete terms.

[26] In Obedience to Authority, Stanley Milgram describes the use of political policy to officially define the meaning of situations and manipulate how citizens interpret their world:

Control the manner in which a man -- in South Africa, America or

wherever -- interprets his world, and you go a long way toward

controlling his behaviour, because there is a propensity for

people to accept definitions and interpretations of action,

situations and behaviour provided to them by individuals whom

they consider to be legitimate authority. That is why governments

invest heavily in ideological propaganda, which constitutes the

official manner of interpreting events.

Additionally every situation also possesses a kind of ideology,

which is called the "definition of the situation," and which is

the interpretation of the meaning of the particular social

occasion. It provides the perspective through which the elements

of a situation gain coherence and clarity. An act viewed in one

67

perspective may seem heinous; the same action viewed in another

perspective seems fully warranted.

When people accept definitions of action provided by legitimate

authority, although the individual performs the action, he allows

authority to define its meaning. It is this ideological

abrogation to the authority that constitutes the principal

cognitive basis of obedience. If, after all, the world, event,

job, or the particular situation is as the authority defines and

describes it, a certain set of actions follows logically. Because

the individual conforms and without critical analysis accepts the

authority's definition of the situation, obedient action follows

willingly, often enthusiastically.

[27] For example: During Apartheid and subsequently in the Truth and

Reconciliation (TRC) Report180, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the Anti-Apartheid

movement repeatedly accused the Apartheid government of maintaining its alleged

legal oppressive tyrannical regime, by means of definitions for among others

terrorists, racial groupings; communism, sabotage, that are vague and

ambiguous181. The TRC went to great length to clarify its definitions for the various

terms of gross violations of human rights, and how apartheid was allegedly a crime

against humanity182. However the TRC totally failed to provide any definition

whatsoever, not even vague and ambiguous one’s for two key concepts upon which the post apartheid social contract of a hugely multi-racial, cultural and religious

(p30) [I] [32] This Act provided not only for the banning of the Communist Party, but also for the legislative means to crush or curb all forms of dissent - communist, radical, liberal, radically religious and just plain annoying. It did this through the inclusion of a definition of communism that was absurd in its breadth and vagueness. (p32) [I] [59] Security legislation also introduced into the law a definition of sabotage so broad and all encompassing as to render virtually all forms of dissent illegal or dangerous. (p38) [II] [453] nor did it provide a definition of ‘terrorists’. Nowhere in any of the SSC documents is a clear and unambiguous definition provided for any of the terms……. (p274) 182 [I] [10] The working group also produced findings concerning political offences. It recommended that, as there was no generally accepted definition of a political offence or political prisoners in international law…. (p50) [I] [43] This definition [of gross violation of human rights) is a reminder that the responsibility for building the bridge between a dehumanising past and a just and democratic future does not belong to the Commission alone. (p60) [I] [78] … he traditional exceptions to this have been found in the area of war crimes and crimes against humanity which, even under the traditional definition of human rights, can be committed by any individual or entity. (p69) [I] [84] The first is a factual question about the conduct involved: in other words, does the violation suffered by the victim amount to one of the acts enumerated in the definition? (p71) [I] [87] It was in relation to this more rigorous test that issues such as justification were taken into account….. This raised the question of whether the notion of unlawfulness was implicit in the definition of gross violations of human rights ….. (p72) [I] [106] The Commission had great difficulty… In the end…. it decided to employ the narrow definition of combatants. (P77) [I] [109] As the Commission embarked on the road of seeking to restore the dignity of victims through extensive statement taking and public hearings, it was confronted with the sometimes difficult task of interpreting the categories of acts contained in the definition of gross violations of human rights, and of formulating criteria to determine the ‘political’ motivation of these acts of killing, torture, abduction and severe ill treatment.(P78) [I] [110] ‘Torture’ and ‘abduction’ were relatively easy to define. (P78) [I] [122] In interpreting this part of the definition of gross human rights violations…. (P82) [I] [3] It is important to note that the definition of what constitutes a crime against humanity … (P94)

country are allegedly founded: ‘ubuntu’ and ‘reconciliation’. Was this legal tyranny

negligence or intentional? Currently the South Africa Constitutional Court refuses

to provide a vague or ambiguous clarification for the legal term of ‘reconciliation’; whereas it accused the Apartheid government of being a legal tyranny for providing

vague definitions. If legal tyranny is a court that only provides vague definitions for

its legal terms; what is a court that refuses to provide any definition?

crimen de aggression275; (44) European Parliament resolution on the crime of

aggression276; (45) ...

War is Peace culture negotiations Kampala ‘crime of aggression’ definition:

[29] War is Peace cultures 1914 to current negotiations to define ‘crime of aggression’ were finalized in Article 8bis in the Rome Statute of the ICC adopted at the 2010

Review Conference in Kampala277. In essence, three elements are required:

[29.1] First, the perpetrator must be a political or military leader, i.e. a “person in a position effectively to exercise control over or to direct the political or military action of

a State”.

[29.2] Second, the Court must prove that the perpetrator was involved in the

planning, preparation, initiation or execution of such a State act of aggression.

[29.3] Third, such a State act must amount to an act of aggression in accordance

with the definition contained in General Assembly Resolution 3314, and it must, by its

character, gravity and scale, constitute a manifest violation of the UN Charter. This

implies that only the most serious forms of illegal use of force between States can be

subject to the Court’s jurisdiction. Cases of lawful individual or collective self-defence,

as well as action authorized by the Security Council are thus clearly excluded. Article 8

bis reads as follows:

Crime of aggression

1. For the purpose of this Statute, “crime of aggression” means the planning, preparation, initiation or execution, by a person

in a position effectively to exercise control over or to direct

the political or military action of a State, of an act of

aggression which, by its character, gravity and scale,

constitutes a manifest violation of the Charter of the United

Nations.

2. For the purpose of paragraph 1, “act of aggression” means the use of armed force by a State against the sovereignty,

territorial integrity or political independence of another State,

or in any other manner inconsistent with the Charter of the

United Nations. Any of the following acts, regardless of a

declaration of war, shall, in accordance with United Nations

General Assembly resolution 3314 (XXIX) of 14 December 1974,

qualify as an act of aggression:

(a) The invasion or attack by the armed forces of a State of the

territory of another State, or any military occupation, however

temporary, resulting from such invasion or attack, or any

annexation by the use of force of the territory of another State

or part thereof;

(b) Bombardment by the armed forces of a State against the

territory of another State or the use of any weapons by a State

against the territory of another State;

(c) The blockade of the ports or coasts of a State by the armed

forces of another State;

(d) An attack by the armed forces of a State on the land, sea or

air forces, or marine and air fleets of another State;

(e) The use of armed forces of one State which are within the

territory of another State with the agreement of the receiving

State, in contravention of the conditions provided for in the

agreement or any extension of their presence in such territory

beyond the termination of the agreement;

(f) The action of a State in allowing its territory, which it has

placed at the disposal of another State, to be used by that other

State for perpetrating an act of aggression against a third

State;

(g) The sending by or on behalf of a State of armed bands,

groups, irregulars or mercenaries, which carry out acts of armed

force against another State of such gravity as to amount to the

acts listed above, or its substantial involvement therein.

Ecology of Peace Decalogue Commandment: Crime of Aggression Act of war:

“If ecologists were ever asked to write a new Decalogue, their First Commandment would be: Thou shalt not transgress the carrying capacity.. Translated into human terms, the ecological first commandment becomes: Thou shalt not transgress the cultural capacity.” – Garrett Hardin278: Cultural

Carrying Capacity279 and Tragedy of the Commons280.

“We must all understand that the most potent weapons of war are the penis, the womb, and the ego. Therefore, if you cannot convince a group to control its population and consumption to below carrying capacity limits; by discussion, debate, intelligent analysis, etc.; you must consider their action in using the penis and the womb to increase population; or ego’s unjustified demand to consume in violation of carrying capacity limits; an Act of War” – Amended version of quote by Judge Jason G. Brent281, in Humans: An Endangered

Species282.

[30] In consideration of Judge Jason Brent’s ‘Act of War’ principles; Applicants amend Garrett Harden’s Ecology of Peace Decalogue Commandment as follows: “Thou shalt 278 http://sqswans.weebly.com/dr-garrett-hardin.html 279 Cultural Carrying Capacity: A biological approach to human problems, by Garrett Hardin http://dieoff.org/page46.htm http://tygae.weebly.com/ecological-overshoot.html 280 Hardin Garrett (1968): Tragedy of the Commons http://tiny.cc/GH-ToC | Killing Times are Here: Tragedy of the Commons http://in-gods-name.blogspot.com/2009/03/killing-times-killing-times-are-here.html 281 http://sqswans.weebly.com/jason-brent.html 282 http://www.jgbrent.com/

not advocate on behalf of, legislate, enforce or obey any scarcity combatant law that encourages or enables citizen’s procreation, consumption or production of resources, to transgress ecological carrying capacity limits.”

[31] In accordance to such Ecology of Peace Decalogue Commandment, Applicants submit the following definition for Rome Statute: Article 5 (1)(d) & (2) undefined term of ‘crimes of aggression act of war’ (CoA AoW): “Any individual who is found guilty of advocating on behalf of, legislating, enforcing, or obeying any – cultural, religious, common, statutory, constitutional, or international – ‘scarcity combatant’ social contract; which enables or advocates on behalf of human procreation, consumption or production of resources that transgress ecological carrying capacity limits, is guilty of the ‘crime of aggression act of war’.”

[32] Sustainability Definition: A Sustainable society practices Sustainable Procreation and Sustainable Natural Resource Utilization Behaviour; i.e. all of its citizens consume and procreate below carrying capacity. Sustainable Natural Resource Utilization Behaviour behaviour involves the utilization of renewable natural resources—water, cropland, pastureland, forests, and wildlife—exclusively, which can be depleted only at levels less than or equal to the levels at which they are replenished by Nature. The utilization of non-renewable natural resources (NNR's)—fossil fuels, metals, and minerals—at any level, is not sustainable283.

[33] Carrying Capacity Sustainability: I=PAT Equation: For activities to be genuinely sustainable it must be possible for them to continue indefinitely. The impact of humanity on the environment and the demands that people place on the resources available on the planet can be summarised by what is known as the Ehrlich or IPAT equation, I=PAT. I = impact on the environment or demand for resources, P = population size, A = affluence and T = technology. The two most important conclusions deriving from this IPAT footprint284 relationship are that: (i) the Earth can support only a limited number of people, at a certain level of affluence, in a sustainable manner; and (ii) Population and Consumption must be reduced to below carrying capacity.

[34] Carrying Capacity aka Biocapacity Limits: “The maximum number of individuals that can be supported sustainably by a given environment is known as its ‘carrying capacity’. Worldwide the total amount of biologically productive land and sea amounts to 12 billion global hectares (gha); or 1.8 gha each if divided by 6.7 billion each. Guerrylla Laws are drawn up in accordance with the proactive

283 Sustainability Defined, Chris Clugston, WakeUpAmerika 284 EcoFootprint: The difference between the biocapacity and Ecological Footprint of a region or country. A biocapacity deficit occurs when the Footprint of a population exceeds the biocapacity of the area available to that population. If there is a regional or national biocapacity deficit, it means that the region is importing biocapacity through trade or liquidating regional ecological assets. Global biocapacity deficit cannot be compensated through trade, and is overshoot.

conservation policies of Bhutan285, who set aside 40% of their biologically productive to be returned to its natural state, for other species and wildlife conservation purposes; then that means that the total amount of biologically productive carrying capacity land available to humans is 60% of 12 billion; which amounts to 7.2 billion gha total; or 60% of 1.8 gha, which is 1 gha each. Population factor is relevant, because the more humans there are, the less biologically productive land there is for everyone else. For example:

[34.1] Biocapacity limits of 6.7, 3.5, 1 Billion, 500, 250 & 100 Million: 7.2 billion global hectares of biologically productive land and water divided by (a) 6.7 billion humans, equals: 1.07 gha each; (b) 3.5 billion equals 2.05 gha each; (c) 1 billion equals 7.2 gha each; (d) 500 million equals 14.4 gha each; (e) 250 million equals 28.8 gha; (f) 100 million equals 72 gha each.

[35] Procreation Factor: As noted, the more people there are; the less biologically productive land there is available for everyone else. According to the research of Paul Murtaugh, the procreation factor that should be added by ecology footprint organisations to their Consumption footprint calculators, is 20 per child. [Each Child increases a parent’s cumulative consumption footprint by factor of 20286]

[36] Difference between Sustainable (Leaver Eco-Innocent) v Unsustainable

(Taker Scarcity Combatant): An individuals IPAT footprint is a result of: (A) Consumption Footprint multiplied by (B) Procreation Factor (Every child increases 20 Child Factor). If their IPAT footprint is below carrying capacity limits, they are an Eco-Innocent Leaver; if their IPAT footprint is above carrying capacity limits, they are a Scarcity Combatant Taker.

[37] Total Footprint = Consumption x Procreation Factor. To work out your Consumption footprint; you will need to use a Consumption Footprint calculator. Current online footprint calculators: Global Footprint Network287 (copy available at Earth Day288; Center for Sustainable Economy289; EcoCampus290. See more at Global Footprint’s Application Standards291, where they detail how their calculators calculate Consumption footprints. The quiz will ask you various questions about

285 Bhutan Proactive Conservation: Bhutan is seen as a model for proactive conservation initiatives. The Kingdom has received international acclaim for its commitment to the maintenance of its biodiversity. This is reflected in the decision to maintain at least sixty percent of the land area under forest cover, to designate more than 40% of its territory as national parks, reserves and other protected areas, and most recently to identify a further nine percent of land area as biodiversity corridors linking the protected areas. Environmental conservation has been placed at the core of the nation's development strategy, the middle path. It is not treated as a sector but rather as a set of concerns that must be mainstreamed in Bhutan's overall approach to development planning and to be buttressed by the force of law. - "Parks of Bhutan".

your consumption habits, and provide you with a final consumption footprint in global hectares which is your ‘consumption footprint’. For the purposes of this calculation; avoid footprint calculator quizzes that do not provide you with your final gha consumption footprint amount, such as for example: World Wildlife Fund’s footprint calculator292 or Stanford International Students293 (which is excellent and has great detail; but does not provide you with a final footprint in gha terms). Multiply your consumption footprint gha amount by your Procreation Factor: the number of children you have procreated multiplied by 20. The total amount is your Total Footprint.

[38] Current Procreation Factor Error in Footprint Quizzes: As noted all aforementioned Footprint calculators are in fact not ‘Total Footprint’ calculators; because they don’t include a major variable – the procreation factor – in their quiz questions. They only include the individual’s consumption. If they did add the procreation factor into their quiz, the individuals taking their footprint quiz’s results would simply go through the roof, from giving answers such as ‘if we all consumed like you we would need 1.5 or 2.8 earths’ to ‘if we all consumed and bred like you, we would need 20, or 40 or 200 earths’; which would provide a far more ‘urgent danger alert’ conclusion message for those quiz takers, about the massive importance of the procreation factor in the Total Eco-Footprint. I submit (and I could be wrong, but I don’t think so) that once these Footprint calculators start including the procreation factor in their ‘Total Footprint’ equations, the cumulative results of individuals who have procreated children, will reduce the total footprint of the individual whose procreation factor is zero. For example: Currently two people with the exact same consumption habits could take their quiz and end up with the same total footprint; of for example: 12.75 gha; irrespective of whether one had zero children and the other had 4 children. This error in these footprint quizzes provides no urgent incentive to reduce breeding, which makes a massive difference to how the total footprint is calculated. Until the quizzes correct this error, I have substituted my own correction, as follows:

[38.1] Procreation Factor: 0 children (x 0.5); 1 child (x 20); 2 children: (x 40) and so on. For example: Acting Clerk Applicant’s Consumption Footprint294 using Sustainable Economy's Myfootprint.org quiz, is 12.75 global hectares (gha). She has no children, consequently her procreation factor is 0.5. Consumption (12.75) x Procreation (0.5) = Total Eco Footprint of 6.375 gha.295

THE SOCIAL CONTRACT

SOCIAL CONTRACT n: an implicit agreement among people that

results in the organization of society; individual surrenders

liberty in return for protection296.

Leaver Eco-Innocent Social Contract:

[39] A Leaver Eco-Innocent social contract is any social contract constitution that is founded on CommonSism Æquilibriæx Jurisprudence which requires all of its citizens to breed and consume below ecological carrying capacity limits and only grants ecologically and egologically literate citizens’ licences to vote.

[40] The foundational principles of the Leaver social contract are: (a) Earth and resources are finite; (b) When humans breed or consume above ecological carrying capacity limits, it results resource conflict; consequently to avoid resource scarcity conflict; the social contract must restrict all humans to breeding and consuming below carrying capacity limits.

[41] The Ecology of Peace social contract principle of eliminating the overbreeding or overconsuming cheaters from the ecosystem genepool engage in what in nature is called a Keystone Predator-Prey socio-ecological system relationship.

[42] In nature Keystone Predators maintain Ecological Equilibrium between other predators and their prey: A keystone species -- like the Platteau Pika in China, the Black Tailed Prairie Dog in Arizona, Starfish in the Pacific Northwest -- act as Supreme Responsible Predators, who stop other lower predators from overbreeding or overconsuming the resources in an ecological system. Keystone Predator-prey systems enhance ecological equilibrium, biodiversity and balance.

[43] For example: A starfish is the top predator upon a community of invertebrates inhabiting tidally inundated rock faces in the Pacific Northwest. The rest of the community included mollusks, barnacles and other invertebrates, for a total of 12 species (not counting microscopic taxa). When the starfish was removed the species were reduced to 11. Soon, an acorn barnacle and a mussel began to occupy virtually all available space, out competing all the other species. Species diversity dropped from more than 12 species to essentially 2. The starfish was a keystone predator, keeping the strongest competitors in check. Although it was a predator, it helped to maintain a greater number of species in the community. Its beneficial impact on species that were weak competitors is an example of an indirect effect.

[44] CommonSism Jurisprudence or an Ecology of Peace international law social contract works in the same way. It restricts all human cultures, religions, races, etc to procreating and consuming below regional, national and international carrying

capacity limits. It functions as a form of 'legal /jurisprudence pika / prairie dog / starfish' Keystone predation, by eliminating the breeding and consuming predator cheaters, to (a) keep the ecosystem stable below carrying capacity limits with regard to human population vis a vis other species and resources; and (b) restricting all religions or races from over-predation stratification; by out-competing all other species (due to greater access to capital (consumption war predatory benefits) or human cannon fodder (breeding war predatory benefits).

Taker Scarcity-Combatant Social Contract:

[45] A Taker Scarcity-Combatant social contract is any social contract constitution that (A) provides its citizens the ‘Inalienable Right’ to Breed and Consume without regard for ecological carrying capacity limits; and (B) the Inalienable Right to Vote, without regard for ecological and egological literacy; but (C) demands that Citizens need a Licence to Own a Gun, a Licence to Drive a Car, a Licence to Practice Law, a television licence, a credit licence, a licence to earn a living, a university exemption licence, a licence to fish, a licence to hunt, a liquor licence, a business licence, a marriage licence, etc.

[46] The English philosopher John Locke, whose thinking helped inspire the American Revolution, said that society should be governed by an understood set of values he termed the social contract. Individuals form states in order to maintain social order. By giving up their warlike “state of nature” posited to exist before such a hypothetical social contract is agreed upon, they agree to uphold their citizen responsibilities in order to benefit from the social order provided by the State, whose social contract responsibility is to guarantee them with a reasonable guarantee of peace and security. Social contract theory has consequently formed a central pillar in the historically important notion that for any state to be considered legitimate, their authority must be derived from the consent of the governed.

[47] War is Peace social contract theory examines the ‘state of nature” human condition in the absence of any structured social order. In this condition, all individuals are sovereign and their actions are bound only by their personal physical power, as constrained by their conscience, or lack of conscience. From this common starting point, the various proponents of social contract theory have attempted to explain, in different ways, why it is in an individual’s rational self-interest to voluntarily give up the freedom one has in the state of nature in order to obtain the benefits of political order. Thomas Hobbes (1651), John Locke (1689) and Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1762) are the most famous philosophers of contractarianism. Their work provided theoretical groundwork of constitutional monarchy, liberal democracy and republicanism.

81

[48] Generally their perspective on the social contract, and its desirability depends on their worldview of the state of nature prior to the need therefore. For example: According to Thomas Hobbes, human life would be "nasty, brutish, and short" without political authority. In its absence, we would live in a state of nature, where we each have unlimited natural freedoms, including the "right to all things" and thus the freedom to harm all who threaten our own self-preservation; there would be an endless "war of all against all" (Bellum omnium contra omnes). To avoid this, free men establish political community i.e. civil society through a social contract in which each gain civil rights in return for subjecting himself to civil law or to political authority. Alternatively, some have argued that we gain civil rights in return for accepting the obligation to respect and defend the rights of others, giving up some freedoms to do so; this alternative formulation of the duty arising from the social contract is often identified with arguments about military service.

[49] General Public Interest social contract:

[50] The social contract and the civil rights it gives us are neither "natural rights" nor permanently fixed. Rather, the contract itself is the means towards an end — the benefit of all — and, is only legitimate to the extent that it meets the general interest ("general will" in Rousseau). Therefore, when failings are found in the contract, we renegotiate to change the terms, using methods such as elections and legislature. Locke theorized the right of rebellion in case of the contract leading to tyranny. Since civil rights come from agreeing to the contract, those who choose to violate their contractual obligations, such as by committing crimes, abdicate their rights, and the rest of society can be expected to protect itself against the actions of such outlaws. To be a member of society is to accept responsibility for following its rules, along with the threat of punishment for violating them. In this way, society works by "mutual coercion, mutually agreed upon" (Hardin 1968).

[51] Totalitarian Agriculture as the source of Taker resource scarcity

social-conflict contract problems:

[51.1] The problems with Taker social contract occurred with the invention of

Totalitarian agriculture; which describes the behaviour of humans who violate

their original indigenous tribal territory’s by choosing to engage in surplus food production (economic growth); resulting in surplus human (population growth).

[51.2] When any tribe of humans overbreed and/or overconsume the natural

resources in their perceived tribal territory; they travel beyond their tribal territory

to go and find resources they have over-consumed and degraded. When such a tribe

enters another tribes territory, then conflict occurs (from economic, political to

physical, an organized violence warfare). To limit inter-tribal territorial resource

82

acquisition conflict, all tribes must agree to limit procreation and consumption to

their tribal territory ecological carrying capacity limits.

[51.3] Simplistically the history of war can be summed up as: Every single

battle between two groups of racial, religious, ethnic, or ideological warriors,

engaged in organized violence resource thieving or defence, since the advent of

totalitarian agriculture297, was a result of one or both of those tribes having

overbred and/or overconsumed, and engaging in resource thieving into another

tribes territory.

[51.4] Since the beginning of humans (whatever you believe that beginning to be) humans lived in nomadic hunter gatherer tribes, like the Bushmen, Aborigine’s, etc. Male duties were to hunt and protect the tribe. Women’s duties were to forage and nurture the young. Both men and women contributed to the tribe’s economic resources and duties, hence power was shared reasonably equally. Tribes were concerned about not overbreeding; since such overbreeding resulted in the resources in a territory being depleted quicker, and less resources for the rest of the tribe; requiring them to move to new territories. After three million years of humans living like hunter gatherers, it is estimated that the human population at the beginning of the Neolithic period was around ten million.

[51.5] Then things changed very quickly for the tribes who invented Totalitarian agriculture. Women invented agriculture, resulting from their close association and experimentation with seeds and plants, in their role as foragers. This change occurred because some tribes started practicing a particular form of ‘surplus agriculture’ (hereinafter referred to as ‘totalitarian agriculture’) where farmers grew large surpluses of stored food. The consolidation of agriculture results in the centralization of political power: cities & civilization. Before the discovery of oil and coal, the practice of totalitarian agriculture farming was far more labour intensive than hunting and subsistence farming; so men took over agriculture; and women were now relegated to being brood sows, to breed economic and cannon fodder: children to work in the fields or be soldiers. Surplus food meant that some members of the tribe could now work in other specialized fields: soldiers, clerks, etc; and also that the tribes could grow their tribes population. World population doubled in three thousand years; and again in only two thousand years. It jumped from ten million to fifty million—probably eighty percent of them being practitioners of totalitarian agriculture. It was getting crowded.

[51.6] Beginning of War is Peace War resulting from overbreeding and

overconsuming: In all of three million years, humans had never been crowded anywhere. But now the people of practicing totalitarian agriculture were learning

297

83

what it means to be crowded. Overworked, overgrazed land was becoming less and less productive. There were more people, and they were competing for dwindling resources; and people now began to organize their tribes into forms of standing armies to fight for land or resources. The tribes first war-making machinery: warlords—kings, princes, emperors and their nation states formed for the purpose of armed defense and aggression. “It’s during this period that we see the standing army forged as the monarch’s sword of power. Without a standing army, a king is just a windbag in fancy clothes. But with a standing army, a king can impose his will on his enemies and engrave his name in history—and absolutely the only names we have from this era are the names of conquering kings. No scientists, no philosophers, no historians, no prophets, just conquerors. For the first time in human history, the important people are the people with armies.”298

[51.7] Evolution of War is Peace War: Advancement and acquisition of Human

and Military Technology and Capital vs Breeding of CannonFodder: In a battle between two armies with the same level of military skill and technology; generally the bigger army wins. Many of history’s military conquerors have relied on simply growing cannon fodder to slaughter on the battlefields to win their battles or wars. Some military conquerors focussed on improving their soldiers skills (psychological, physical, intellectual, spiritual, etc), technology (better armor, better swords, better chariots, better bows and arrows, better scaling machines, better rams, better artillery, better guns, better tanks, better planes, better bombs, better rockets, better nerve gas, better germs, better chemicals); and legal moral supremacist ‘innocence for sale’ indulgence interpretations psychological warfare doctrine. Many times small armies with greater technological equipment and/or military tactical or strategic skills won: There are many examples, but two are Battle of Blood River (guns), conquest of North and South America (guns, germs & steel299).

[51.8] WiP Resource Conflict: Initially economic, then political, and finally

military organized conflict: Centuries of conflict over resources generated an international law social contract founded upon Masonic phallic force (rule of force international treaties); that rewarded those who engage in seething energies of lucifer300 breeding and consumption wars; which bribe their tribes members to believe it is their 'inalienable [freedumb slavery] right' to breed and consume above carrying capacity limits; while denying personal responsibility for the human factory farming organized violence conquer and culling racism, sexism, nationalism, socialism, capitalism, nazism, islamism, zionism, corporatism, 298

[52] Totalitarian Agriculture’s Luciferian Evil Human Sacrifice Harvest Religions:

“When The Mason learns that the Key to the warrior on the block is the proper application of the dynamo of living power, he has learned

the Mystery of his Craft. The seething energies of Lucifer are in

his hands and before he may step onward and upward, he must prove

his ability to properly apply this energy.” - Manly Palmer Hall, Illustrious: the Lost Keys of Freemasonry

302

"in this case the defendants are not simply accused of planning or

directing wholesale killings through channels. They are not charged

with sitting in an office hundreds and thousands of miles away from

the slaughter. It is asserted with particularity that these men were

in the field actively superintending, controlling, directing, and

taking an active part in the bloody harvest."303

[53] All civilized religions — from Christianity, to Gnosticism, etc — were ‘created’ in the minds of man to comprehend the concept of ‘evil’ (aka organized violence), subsequent to man’s invention of agriculture, approximately 10,000 years ago; and where such agriculture created food surpluses, resulting in population surpluses, and expansion of their territory resulting in population pressure clashes with other tribes territories, resource war conflict.

[54] Extended misery resulting from direct and psychic existential conflict resulted in man’s attempt to understand so-called ‘evil’; or put more simply: the organized resource thieving direct conflict (rape, murder, slavery, etc) resulting from population pressures and escalating relations with fellow humans based upon the absence of consent, i.e. extended periods of psychic and physical violence and coercion.

[55] If there are two or ten people living on an island with enough food and other resources and space, for one hundred people; there is no need to coerce another for food or resources freely and abundantly available. In the absence of a resource scarcity conflict mindset, and plenty of space, tribal relations are more conductive to cooperation and sharing. Living in the moment. There is no need for an external God in the sky to explain ‘evil’; there is only a consciousness to appreciate the source of resource abundance, as the ‘source of life’; and to live in harmony with

such source: nature. Violence is limited to food chain violence experienced by all species; namely hunting and being hunted by another predator for immediate food.

[56] If the tribe introduces agriculture, which results in an agricultural surplus and uses such agricultural surplus to justify greater population; then as the population increases, so the population pressures increase. There is less space to run away from someone who may be temporarily angry, or wanting something another is not willing to provide in that moment. The existence of ‘evil’ (organized violence) is plausibly directly proportional to the resource war conflict, resulting from the tribe’s violation of carrying capacity limits; and/or coming into contact with another tribe’s territorial expansion as a result of their violation of carrying capacity limits. In attempting to understand the existential meaning of this symptom of ‘evil’ resulting from violation of carrying capacity limits resource war conflict, man created religions...

[57] The invention of agriculture and agricultural surpluses, and subsequent organized violence of civilization are the biblical story of Adam and Eve’s loss of living in carrying capacity harmony with the natural world resource abundant paradise, and Cain’s choice to be a farmer. Others saw opportunities for socio-political status benefits from exploiting the reality of organized violence (evil), and suppressed this conscious reality of their intentions by invoking various phallic ‘right’ justifications for their ‘right’ to engage in organized violence (evil).

[58] The Mason’s ‘seething energies of lucifer’ are the psychological warfare art of manipulating and coercing men and women to overbreed and overconsume, to thereby aggravate resource war conflict, and the ability to divide and conquer people’s, for the socio-political profit of the ‘warrior’, to ‘step onward and upward’; as he ‘proves his human sacrifice ability’ to apply his breeding war and consumption war energies. Put differently, the ‘seething energies of lucifer’ are no less than the phallic justification for profiting from aggravating and perpetuating deliberate organized violence, without the consent of the recipients of the violence.

[59] Totalitarian Agriculture WiP Tower of Babel Empires that violently collapsed: Humans who engage in totalitarian agriculture, engage in Predator-Prey Growth and Collapse of Civilization/Empire cycles: Greco-Rome, Minoan, Mycenaean, Sumerians, Akkadian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Achaemenid, Seleucid, Zhou, Han, Tang, Song, Parthian, Sassanid, Umayyad, Abbasid, Mauryan, Gupta, Maya, Hittite, Harrapan and Teotihuacan. Collapses result from (1) Ecological Strain due to procreation and consumption above ecological carrying capacity limits; and (2) Economic Stratification; and have included the disappearance of between 90-99% of their populations (from famine, disease and organized violence resource wars)

86

including their kings, Gods, calendars and other complex political and cultural institutions.304

[60] Keeping the Peace Impartial Arbitration Purpose of the Courts:

[61] The Canadian Superior Courts Judges Association describes the role of courts305 as follows:

«The justice system is the mechanism that upholds the rule of

law. Our courts provide a forum to resolve disputes and to test

and enforce laws in a fair and rational manner. The courts are an

impartial forum, and judges are free to apply the law without

regard to the government's wishes or the weight of public

opinion. Court decisions are based on what the law says and what

the evidence proves; there is no place in the courts for

suspicion, bias or favouritism. This is why justice is often

symbolized as a blindfolded figure balancing a set of scales,

oblivious to anything that could detract from the pursuit of an

outcome that is just and fair.»

[62] Encyclopedia Britannica describes the keeping the peace function of courts306 as follows:

«The primary functions of any court system—to help keep domestic peace—is so obvious that it is rarely considered or mentioned. If there were no institution that was accepted by the citizens of a

society as an impartial and authoritative judge of whether a

person had committed a crime and, if so, what type of punishment

should be meted out, vigilantes offended by the person’s conduct might well take the law into their own hands and proceed to

punish the alleged miscreant according to their uncontrolled

discretion. If no agency were empowered to decide private

disputes impartially and authoritatively, people would have to

settle their disputes by themselves, with power rather than

legitimate authority likely being the basis of such decisions.

Such a system might easily degenerate into anarchy. Not even a

primitive society could survive under such conditions. Thus, in

this most basic sense, courts constitute an essential element of

society’s machinery for keeping peace.»

[63] According to Black Rage Confronts the Law, by Paul Harris:

The law is the most powerful expression of a society's rules.

The dominant purpose of the law in every country is to

preserve the status quo, to protect people and institutions

who have privilege and power, whether in goverment or in civil

society. The law fulfils this purpose by the peaceful

resolution of conflicts, but also by coercion.

[..] Criminal law gets most of the media attention, but

corporate law is where billions of dollars are negotiated and

litigated, and where decisions are being made which control

our environment, our jobs, and the very quality of our lives.

The law is necessary to facilitate and mediate these

decisions, thereby avoiding an anarchy that would severely

disrupt the free market and societal relations.

The law also mediates thousands of other conflicts in civil

society, from landlord-tenant conflicts to consumer-related

product liability suits; from simple car accident cases to

major constitutional issues; from divorces to bankruptcy

proceedings, In the United States in particular, law seems to

surround us.

Peaceful resolution of conflict through the mutual acceptance

of a judicial forum is one method of keeping society on an

even keel. Another method is coercion -- using the force of

the state, or the threat of that force, on individuals in

order to secure their obedience. And when they fail to obey,

they state uses that force to inflict punishment. Robert Cover

gets to the heart of the matter when he writes, "The Judges

deal pain and death. That is not all they do. Perhaps that is

not what they usually do. But they do deal death, and pain".

If law's primary purpose is to protect the powerful and keep

things as they are, in America its secondary purpose is to

protect individual rights. The Bill of Rights is the

cornerstone of these protections. ... If human history teaches

us anything, it is that governments cannot rule by force

alone. In every period of history people have fought against

tyranny. .. Therefore for a goverment to continue to hold

power it must create a legal system that has an image of

justice and some sense of fairness. It must also win the

psychological acceptance of the majority of its citizens. How

it does this has been the subject of increasing academic

scrutiny.

One of the more prevalent theories of this process is put

forward by Peter Gabel, a founder of the Conference on

Critical Legal Studies, and the president of New College and

New College School of Law: "The principle role of the legal

system within these societies is to create a political culture

that can persuade people to accept both the legitimacy and the

apparent inevitability of the existing hierarchical

arrangement. The need for this Legitimation arises because

people will not accede to the subjugation of their souls

88

through the deployment of force alone. They must be persuaded,

even if it is only a "pseudo-persuasion," that the existing

order is both just and fair, and tht they themselves desire

it. In particular, there must be a way of managing the intense

interpersonal and intra-psychic conflict that a social order

founded upon alienation and collective powerlessness

repeatedly produces. "Democratic consent" to an inhumane

social order can be fashioned only by finding ways to keep

people in a state of passive compliance with the status quo,

and this requires both the pacification of conflict and the

provision of fantasy images of community that can compensate

for the lack of real community that people experience in their

everyday lives.

Society fashions this "democratic consent" through what has

begun to be referred to as legal culture. Law has a culture of

its own, including education, training, rules of behaviour,

philosophy, folkways, habits, language, economics, tradition,

and stories. The courtroom is one of the key elements of this

culture. The structure and rituals of the courtroom are

intended to communicate the "three M's" of the law: majesty,

mystique, and might.

Another major structural support of the existing legal culture

is legal reasoning. This is a form of thought that presupposes

existing societal relations. It does not allow for questioning

of political decisions that have led to our institutions. It

makes it seem as though our laws are a consequence of existing

societal relations. This area of law presupposes the unequal

distribution of property, which is justified by the

philosophical notions that in America everyone is free and

that if a person has enough talent he or she can acquire

property. If an individual fails to "make good," it is his or

her own failure based on lack of merit. What is fascinating

about the law is that it incorporates the existing system of

inequality, but then the law itself is used as a rationale for

legitimating the very system that is embedded within it. In

other words, the law enforces rules as the natural order, when

in fact those rules have already assumed on set of

philosophical tenets and rejected alternatives.

The term real property refers to houses, buildings, and land,

as contrasted to personal property, which includes most other

things one owns. Real property law in the United States allows

one to own all the houses, buildings, and land one can afford.

A person can make a living sitting in his home and collecting

money from other people living in their homes, which he owns.

An individual can own a tree or a beach. This arrangement is

called capitalism. If a lawyer brought a lawsuit in an

89

American court on behalf of neighbours who wanted occasional

access to a "private" beach, the lawsuit would be dismissed

immediately. A judge would not allow legal arguments regarding

the public nature of a beach and whether it should or should

not be owned by an individual.

This legal result is not common to all societies.

Historically, among many Native American tribes land could not

be owned by an individual. There was no proprietary interest

in the environment. One could no more own a beach than one

could own the ocean. People made fun of the Indians for

allegedly selling the island of Manhattan for a few beads. But

in Native American legal thought people could not own

Manhattan Island, and therefore they could not sell it.

In modern-day America a tenant cannot refuse to pay rent on

the grounds that the landlord owns more homes than she needs.

But in Cuba one could raise such an argument and win. The

Cuban General Law on Housing adopted in 1988 provides as

follows: "Personal property in housing must be understood ...

essentially as a right of enjoyment of the house by the owner

and his/her family, without having to pay anything after

paying its price, but in no case can this right of personal

property in the house become a mechanism of enrichment or

exploitation."

Another major factor in legal reasoning is the myth that the

law is made up of neutral, fair rules. Rules are supposed to

become evident to any educated and legally trained judge or

lawyer who objectively analyzes the facts and the previous

legal decisions. This myth is articulated perfectly by

California Court of Appeals Judge Edward Wallin: "I am never

troubled by making a decision. I just decide the way the law

dictates."

The judge's statement assumes that reason and logic determine

judicial results. It denies the influence of the judge's

personal political views. The statement also carries the

message that the "law" is just floating out there in space,

majestically dictating the correct (fair and just) result.

This denies the fact that judges must interpret conflicting

arguments to arrive at a result, and that their interpretation

is based on a myriad of factors that are rooted in present-day

political conditions.

Anyone who does not believe that judges are influenced by

public pressure, social movements, and their own prejudices

and opinions should read The Brethren by Scott Armstrong and

Bob Woodward, the journalist who helped uncover the Watergate

story. This was the first popular book to go behind the black-

90

robed mystique of the United States Supreme Court and expose

the myth that judges interpret the law based on objective,

neutral principles untainted by politics and predisposition.

[64] States Primary Self Preservation Interest: Maintenance of Ordered –

Keeping the Peace -- Liberty:

[65] According to the US Supreme Court in Roberts v. Louisiana307, the core of the

Lockean “social contract” idea is that the State has an interest and duty in protecting its citizens from being attacked, and it has an even higher interest and duty in protecting the foot soldiers or individuals who maintain the society’s ordered liberty. The State has a special interest in their protection. If they are not protected then the State will not be able to meet its duties to enforce the social contract at all: “It is no service to individual rights, or to individual liberty, to undermine what is surely the fundamental right and responsibility of any civilized government: the maintenance of order so that all may enjoy liberty and security. Learned Hand surely had it right when he observed: “And what is this liberty which must lie in the hearts of men and women? It is not the ruthless, the unbridled will; it is not freedom to do as one likes. That is the denial of liberty, and leads straight to its overthrow. A society in which men recognize no check upon their freedom soon becomes a society where freedom is the possession of only a savage few; as we have learned to our sorrow.” The Spirit of Liberty 190 (3d ed., 1960).”

drawing from other disciplines .. such wisdom as may be relevant for its purpose”; since

a court “cannot afford to be monocultural, especially where it is entering newly developing areas of law”.

[68] Credible honourable Anthropocentric Jurisprudence practitioners should find that

the constitutional and legislative Social Contract entered into between any civilized

patriarchy Government, and its citizens, particularly its military and national security

employees, is a civilized patriarchy legal matrix contract, based upon deception and

fraud, which does not meet the requirements of a fully informed consenting agreement.

[69] Civilized Patriarchy War-is-Peace jurisprudence is any Constitution or legislation

that grants citizens the inalienable right to breed and consume without regard for

ecological carrying capacity limits.

[70] Honest Civilized Patriarchy Social Contract jurisprudence would clearly and

explicitly inform its citizens that any Constitution or legislation that grants citizens

the inalienable right to breed and consume without regard for ecological carrying

capacity limits; is ‘War is Peace’ jurisprudence, which socio-economically and psycho-

politically benefits the socio-political, corporate and media elite.

[71] An honest Civilized Patriarchy War-is-Peace Enlistment Agreement would inform

any citizen that they are Enlisting to become cannon fodder soldiers to be dispatched to

plunder other nation’s resources, and lie to their fellow citizens, because their own country’s ecologically illiterate social contract jurisprudence does not require their fellow citizens to procreate and consume below their nation’s carrying capacity levels.

[72] An honest Civilized Patriarchy War-is-Peace Classified Information Nondisclosure

Agreement would explicitly inform a Military or Intelligence Employee that they are

expected to keep the thieving, plundering and mass murder culling consequences

‘saving face’ secrets of the American civilized patriarchy socio-political elite, endorsed

by the legal matrix jurists, and an Ecologically Illiterate constitution; to themselves.

[73] Civilized Patriarchy’s War-is-Peace Jurisprudence is a legal world, very similar to

the Matrix religious world that existed before Martin Luther confronted the religious

indulgence salesmen with his Ninety-Five Theses, on the Church of All Saints, on 31

October 1517, thereby initiating the Protestant Reformation.

[74] In the Catholic Church’s religious Matrix world, only Catholic Bishops were entitled to be interpreters of the ‘word of god’. Only they could decide what God meant, about who was guilty and who was innocent, who would go to hell and who would go to

heaven. God did not speak to common people, except via the Catholic Church’s bishops.

[75] In Civilized Patriarchy’s Legal Matrix world, only those who swear blind obedience to Civilized Patriarchy’s Legal Matrix world – lawyers, prosecutors and

93

judges – are deemed to possess the supposed superior intellectual Legal Godlike

capabilities, to decipher, decode and interpret the ‘word of civilized patriarch gods’, hence capable of deciding which of us mere commons surplus vote, cannon and criminal

fodder mortals acts of commission, or omission, is ‘lawful’ or ‘unlawful’.

[76] In the Catholic Church’s religious Matrix world, the corporate and political elite could purchase – Forgiveness for Sale – Indulgences from the Catholic Church’s religious matrix Bishops; which influenced the Bishops interpretation of the ‘word of god’ in favour of the purchaser’s ‘forgiveness’ from the wrath of God, for their sins.

[77] In Civilized Patriarchy’s Legal Matrix world, the corporate and political elite purchase – Innocence for Sale – Indulgences from the Legal Matrix Bishops to

interpret the ‘word of civilized patriarch gods’; in favour of avoiding any legal interpretations that result in legislation or jurisprudence that defines the civilized

patriarchy elite’s ecologically criminal acts of control of consumption and reproduction

billion dollar thievery and mass murder, as ‘unlawful’.

[78] Civilized Patriarchy Legal Matrix Flat Earth Jurisprudence ignores that Humans

live on a planet with finite resources. Ecological laws dictate that any conscious species

living in an ecosystem with finite resources, that wishes to avoid ecological overshoot,

and the scarcity conflict consequences of overshoot, should enact legislation that limit

their citizens procreation or consumption from transgressing cultural carrying capacity

limits.

[79] A nations non-renewable and renewable resources are a ‘commons’ and increased population and/or consumption of resources can only occur up to the point of ‘carrying capacity’ tipping points. Once ‘carrying capacity’ laws of nature tipping points are

breached, once ecological overshoot occurs; and in NNR terms; Peak of Production,

referred to as Peak Oil, or Peak NNR, Peak Water, Peak Land, Peak Population, etc;

resource scarcity occurs which – in the absence of equivalent voluntary population and

consumption reduction - triggers resource war violence, which exponentially increases

the problems of those tasked with ‘national security’. There is a fundamental ecological, environmental security and consequent national security, difference between the

resource war violence, from temporary resource scarcity that results on the upward

side of the resource bell curve (when surplus resources can be imported for elsewhere),

and the resource war violence on the downslope of the curve (when no surplus exists

elsewhere in the absence of taking it by force).

[80] Extensive Environment/Overshoot-Scarcity-Conflict documentation from military

and intelligence agencies, united nations and governments, NGO’s and academic reports, etc, collectively document how legislative failure to restrict humanity’s procreation and consumption to cultural carrying capacity limits, and Legal Matrix

94

Indulgences to Corporations: Socialized Corporate Externality Costs: Trillion Dollar

Thefts from Global Natural Capital Commons318, has resulted in humanity’s ecological overshoot of carrying capacity limits by between 700 to 400,000 percent319; which

[81] The public in general are ecologically illiterate of current Overshoot-Scarcity-

Conflict consequences of their procreation and consumption lifestyle’s, such as climate-

resource-scarcity-conflict and refugees, and impending threat multiplier aggravation of

crisis of ‘scarcity-conflict’ death spiral consequences; and hence unable or unwilling to make informed environmental decisions, as a result of the Media’s Censorship of Overshoot-Scarcity-Conflict contextual information in their reporting on socio-political

scarcity and conflict problems resulting from ecological overshoot. For example in Dr.

Michael Maher’s study: How and Why Journalists Avoid Population - Environment

Connection (PDF329), he took a random sample of 150 stories about urban sprawl,

endangered species and water shortages and found that only 1 in ten framed

population growth as a source of the problem. Media Matters studies in the US show

that (i) in recent 2013 wildfire coverage, only 6 percent of total wildfire items

mentioned climate change330; (ii) in Midwest flood coverage, only 3 percent of stories

mentioned climate change331; (iii) in 2012, the nightly news covered the royal family

more than climate change332; (iv) a recent study documenting the warmest year on

[82] Citizens, citizens rights organisations and legislators serious and sincere about

Commons, should educate citizens about the importance of enacting Ecology of Peace

legislation to determine: (A) Procreation footprint: how many children per family

maintains procreation levels below carrying capacity and leads to sustainable peace?

(B) Production Footprint: How much exploitation and production of non-renewable and

renewable natural resources maintains production below carrying capacity and leads to

sustainable peace? (C) Consumption Footprint: How much individual consumption

maintains consumption levels below carrying capacity and leads to sustainable peace?

[83] Anthropocentric jurisprudence prosecutorial and judicial officials should act to

free Military and National Security leaders from their duty to protect Ecologically

Illiterate Flat Earth unsustainable constitutions that legally, politically and

procedurally denies them the opportunity of addressing the root causes of scarcity-

conflict threats to national security; by holding legislators and citizens who

legislatively or practically endorse unsustainable right to breed and consume

legislation, including national and international law treaties, accountable as ‘breeding war’ or ‘consumption war’ scarcity combatants”; and rewarding citizens and legislators who endorse sustainable Ecology of Peace procreation and consumption lifestyle’s or legislation.

Cultural value differences between Ecology of Peace Leaver and War is Peace

Taker societies:

Social Contract: Leaver Eco-Innocent v Taker Scarcity Combatant:

[86] EoP Leaver Eco-Innocent: A social contract constitution founded on

CommonSism Æquilibriæx Jurisprudence which requires all of its citizens to breed

and consume below ecological carrying capacity limits and only grants ecologically

and egologically literate citizens’ licences to vote; and eliminates Taker Scarcity-

Combatants (individual who is not physically or intellectually capable of (i)

responsible procreation and/or consumption below carrying capacity limits and /or

(ii) engaging in Voluntarist (fully informed consent) agreements) from the genepool.

[87] WiP Taker Scarcity-Combatant: A social contract constitution that (A) provides

its citizens the ‘Inalienable Right’ to Breed and Consume without regard for ecological carrying capacity limits; and (B) the Inalienable Right to Vote, without

regard for ecological and egological literacy; but (C) demands that Citizens need a

Licence to Own a Gun, a Licence to Drive a Car, a Licence to Practice Law, a

television licence, a credit licence, a licence to earn a living, a university exemption

licence, a licence to fish, a licence to hunt, a liquor licence, a business licence, a

marriage licence, etc.

Rule of Eco/Egological Literacy Law v Rule of Phallic-Ego Force:

[88] EoP Rule of Eco/Egological Literacy Law: regulates (a) the relations between

humans, nature and other animals species and (b) the relations between humans

98

amongst themselves, in terms of their gender, culture, ethnic, religious and

ideological conflicts; by restricting procreation and consumption in accordance to (c)

the laws of nature/ecology, recognizing that a healthy ecological environment, with

due regard for regulating human procreation and resource utilization behaviour in

accordance with the carrying capacity laws of sustainability is a sine qua non for all

other constitutional rights; and (d) the laws of human nature; where the relevant

disputing parties -- religious, ideological and cultural values -- laws of human

nature, are applied to achieve the greatest possible level of intra-species harmony

and balance.

[89] WiP Rule of Phallic-Ego Force: regulates (a) the relations between humans,

nature and other animal species and (b) the relations between humans amongst

themselves, in terms of their gender, culture, ethnic, religious and ideological

conflicts; (c) by establishing socio-political ‘big family’ or ‘big consumption’ penis masculinity status symbols and objectification and sexualized concepts of

‘femininity’, requiring women to market and trade their sexuality for safety and security to reward those who violate ecological carrying capacity limits & engage in

divide and conquer breeding and consumption wars; (d) for the almost exclusive

benefit of violent Anthropocentric humans and corporations, profiting from divide

and conquer resource scarcity conflict.

Predators, Parasites and their Prey: Keystone Ecological Equilibrium –v-

Predator/Parasite-Prey Growth-Collapse Cycle:

[90] EoP Keystone Predators maintain Ecological Equilibrium: A keystone species --

like the Platteau Pika in China or the Black Tailed Prairie Dog in Arizona -- has a

disproportionate effect on its environment relative to its abundance, affecting many

other organisms in an ecosystem, helping to determine the types and numbers of

various others species in a community. Such an organism plays a role in its

ecosystem that is analogous to the role of a keystone in an arch. While the keystone

feels the least pressure of any of the stones in an arch, the arch still collapses

without it. Ecosystems experience a dramatic loss of biodiversity & equilibrium if

the keystone species is removed. Keystone Predator-prey systems enhance

ecological equilibrium and balance.

[90.1] A starfish is the top predator upon a community of invertebrates

inhabiting tidally inundated rock faces in the Pacific Northwest. The rest of the

99

community included mollusks, barnacles and other invertebrates, for a total of 12

species (not counting microscopic taxa). When the starfish was removed the species

were reduced to 11. Soon, an acorn barnacle and a mussel began to occupy virtually

all available space, out competing other species. Species diversity dropped from

more than 12 species to essentially 2. The starfish was a keystone predator,

keeping the strongest competitors in check. Although it was a predator, it helped to

maintain a greater number of species in the community. Its beneficial impact on

species that were weak competitors is an example of an indirect effect.

[90.2] CommonSism Jurisprudence, restricting all human cultures, religions,

races, etc to procreating and consuming below regional, national and international

carrying capacity limits; if implemented function as a form of 'legal /jurisprudence

starfish' Keystone predation, by eliminating the breeding and consuming predator

cheaters, to (a) keep the system stable with regard to human population vis a vis

other species and resources; and (b) restrict any one religion, race, or culture from

overpredation; by outcompeting all other species (due to greater access to capital

(consumption war predatory benefits) or human cannon fodder (breeding war

predatory benefits).

[91] Predator/Parasite-Prey Growth-Collapse Cycle: Predation: Predator-Prey and

parasite-host involves interactions in which one organism consumes all or part

(resources) of another. These linkages are the prime movers of energy through food

chains. They are an important factor in the ecology of populations, determining

mortality of prey and birth of new predators. Predation is an important

evolutionary force: natural selection favors more effective predators and more

evasive prey. "Arms races" have been recorded in some snails, which over time

become more heavily armored prey, and their predators, crabs, which over time

develop more massive claws with greater crushing power. Growth-Collapse

predator-prey systems are potentially unstable.

[91.1] Humans who engage in totalitarian agriculture347, engage in Predator-

Prey Growth and Collapse of Civilization/Empire cycles: Greco-Rome, Minoan,

Mycenaean, Sumerians, Akkadian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Achaemenid, Seleucid,

Zhou, Han, Tang, Song, Parthian, Sassanid, Umayyad, Abbasid, Mauryan, Gupta,

Maya, Hittite, Harrapan and Teotihuacan. Collapses result from (1) Ecological

347

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTsg5r9oKic

100

Strain and (2) Economic Stratification348 and include the disappearance of between

90-99% of the populations (from famine, disease and organized violence resource

wars) including their kings, Gods, calendars and other complex political and

cultural institutions.

[91.2] Economic Stratification Collapse occurs due to unequal consumption of

resources generating Elites vs Commoners. As Elites become sizable and keep

growing, they consume more; their over-exploitation results in collapse of resources

to the Commoners; who experience famine and collapse. Elites -- due to their

wealth -- do not suffer the detrimental effects of environmental collapse until much

later than Commoners, which allows them to continue 'business as usual', despite

the impending catastrophe; explaining how historical collapses were allowed to

occur by seemingly oblivious elites (eg Roman & Mayan cases).

[91.3] Ecological Overshoot Collapse can occur in the absence of economic

stratification, when depletion of natural capital per capita is too high.

State of Being/Relating Communication Policy: Honourable Reason and

Logic Problem Solving v Dishonourable Passive Aggressive Violence

Parasitism:

[92] Honourable Reason and Logic Problem Solving:

[92.1] Always respond to verbal and written correspondence: from honourable

communicators, with a sincere honest response; from communicators interpreted

as dishonourable, with a sincere honest interpretation of the dishonourable

elements of their communication, and if continued, with notice of the termination of

correspondence, until they commit to honourable discourse; if committed to

honourable discourse;

[92.2] by sincerely and actively listen to the evidence from any individual,

irrespective of their political ideology (right wing to left wing), religion, race or

culture; actively listening means you verify that your interpretation of their

statements is accurate; before concluding that you have ‘heard their argument’;

[92.3] you focus on simplifying the issue discussed, using as much as possible

descriptive words (as opposed to abstract concepts; and where you do use abstract 348

http://sqswans.weebly.com/us-nasa.html

101

concepts; you are willing to define your meaning of that abstract concept within

that circumstance)

[92.4] you evaluate their argument based upon the evidence they present, not

their race, religion or political ideology; etc;

[92.5] if you are not convinced by their evidence on any particular issue; you are

willing to agree to disagree on that particular issue, and remain in the conversation

until you find agreement (if ever); and support each other on other issues that you

do agree upon.

[92.6] if conflict arises in the discussion about the issue, you are committed to

remaining in the conversation and finding a way to resolve the conflict, by allowing

yourselves to get over your anger (as opposed to requiring yourself or others to

suppress their anger for political correct ‘lets pretend we are getting along’ reasons).

[92.7] if their evidence proves any of your evidence for any of your ideological or

other working hypothesis theories or beliefs to be inaccurate; you love reason and

logic more than your ego-identity and hence you are willing to publicly change your

mind, on that particular subject and amend your ideological working hypothesis or

belief with the new evidence provided.

[93] Dishonourable Passive Aggressive Violence Parasitism:

[93.1] Avoid responding to verbal or written correspondence: by ignoring them,

pretending the correspondence was not received; deliberately misinterpreting it,

failure to provide honourable reasons for failure to correspond; etc;

[93.2] avoid sincerely and actively listening to the evidence from any individual,

CONFLICT-PARASITISM PURPOSE OF

ANTHROPOCENTRIC JURISPRUDENCE

“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance; it is the illusion of knowledge.” - Stephen W. Hawking

“The greatest enemy of sustainable peace, or the absence of war, is not militancy or military warriors ignorance; but ‘War is Peace’ Peacenik Illusions: the absence of Ecology of Peace

information and knowledge for citizens to Walk their Footprint

Peace-Talk.”

‘Illusion of Knowledge peace seekers consume the very energy required to change the things that would make societies head

toward peace, and will have no plan for peace until they focus

on changing the personal consumption and procreation behaviors

of 6 billion people. Those changes will require either a

universal change to EoP cognitive processes and behavioural

actions; or very unpleasant WiP institutional actions.’ – Jack Alpert, Peaceniks – Wake Up! (amended)352

Civilization, very fundamentally, is the history of the

domination of nature and of women. Patriarchy means rule over

women and nature.

Women and nature are universally devalued by the dominant

paradigm and who cannot see what this has wrought? Ursula Le Guin

gives us a healthy corrective to Paglia’s dismissal of both: “Civilized Man says: I am Self, I am Master, all the rest is other — outside, below, underneath, subservient. I own, I use, I explore, I exploit, I control. What I do is what matters. What I

want is what matter is for. I am that I am, and the rest is women

and wilderness, to be used as I see fit.” - John Zerzan, Patriarchy, Civilization, and the Origins of

Gender353, Anarchist Library

“Paradoxically, the very achievements of civilized man have been the most important factors in the downfall of civilizations.” - Tom Dale & Vernon Gill Carter, Topsoil and Civilization (1955)

Civilized Patriarchy:

[108] A system of society or government, is Patriarchal to the extent that it regulates (a)

the relations between humans, nature and other animals species and (b) the relations

between humans amongst themselves, in terms of their gender, culture, ethnic, 352 http://www.skil.org/position_papers_folder/Peaceniks_Wake_up.html 353 http://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/john-zerzan-patriarchy-civilization-and-the-origins-of-gender

106

religious and ideological conflicts; for the (c) almost exclusive benefit of violent

Anthropocentric humans and corporations.

[109] Consequently a legal, political or social system is Patriarchal to the extent of its

(a) failure to provide automatic equal legal personhood and rights to women, culture’s based on non-patriarchal principles, nature and animal and plant species; (b) disregard

for the objective and scientific breed and consume below carrying capacity truth of the

laws of nature/ecology; and (c) disregard for the laws of human nature; when they

contradict the AnthroCorpocentric – breeding and consumption war – objectives of the

holders of subjective AnthroCorpocentric Truth.

[110] A society has violent Patriarchal breeding and consumption war objectives, to the

extent that:

[110.1] its socio-political status symbols involve breeding war, consumption war and

violent warrior mythology: (a) breeding war procreation above carrying capacity: i.e.

cultures that reward their male members with concepts of manhood virility status,

which are based on the man breeding a family above carrying capacity levels; (b)

consumption war consuming above carrying capacity; i.e. cultures that reward their

male members with concepts of manhood intelligence/virility status, which are based

upon the man consuming above carrying capacity levels, to demonstrate his ‘large consumption penis’; (c) warrior mythology, where violent men are rewarded with ‘freedom fighter’ or ‘soldier’ socio-political status symbol medals and awards;

particularly if the warrior mythology censors and ignores information to educate the

culture’s members, that scarcity induced resource war violence can be avoided by the culture’s members choosing to breed and consume below carrying capacity levels. A culture which teaches a purely defensive warrior mythology; i.e. based purely on

defense of its landbase and resources, i.e. which educate the members of the culture to

avoid overpopulation and overconsumption scarcity inducing lifestyle’s within its culture, and hence does not engage in patriarchal breeding and consumption war

objectives would not be considered a patriarchal culture.

[110.2] Its religious, political and corporate leaders (a) endorse patriarchal

objectification and sexualized concepts of ‘beauty’, which demean and vilify all women

who do not meet those ‘beauty’ requirements; where a woman’s value is not based on her honesty, character and integrity, but upon how well she is able to market and trade

her sexuality for physical and economic safety and security, and (b) avoid addressing

the overpopulation and overconsumption scarcity induced root causes of most direct

and indirect causes of conflict: from murder, rape, suicide, homeless, unemployment,

courts, police, prisons, mental illness, mental institutions, because cumulatively they

serve as socio-political conflict pressure cookers to socio-psychologically pressure

women to (i) purchase safety and security by trading sexual favours from men, for

107

physical and economic safety and security; (ii) conform to civilized patriarchy’s expectation that she behave as her partners brood sow and/or sexual socio-economic

status symbol bimbo accessory, to breed/consume above carrying capacity, to thereby

(iii) aggravate scarcity induced violence, particularly against lower class men and

women.

A Credible Æquilibriæx Judicial System:

“The goal of life is living in agreement with nature.” - Zeno of Citium.

Law is the system of rules of conduct established by the

sovereign government of a society to correct wrongs, maintain the

stability of political and social authority, and deliver justice.

[111] A ‘credible’ judicial system – like the gender balanced Mosuo in South West China

who have no rape (not even a word in their language for rape, because it does not

exist), no murder, no suicide and no unemployment; – is one which accurately applies

the relevant natural or scientific laws, to attain a specific related required result of

inter-human and intra-species harmony and balance.

[112] A ‘credible’ judicial system regulates (a) the relations between humans, nature and other animals species and (b) the relations between humans amongst themselves,

in terms of their gender, culture, ethnic, religious and ideological conflicts; in

accordance to (i) the laws of nature/ecology, recognizing that a healthy ecological

environment, with due regard for regulating human procreation and resource

utilization behaviour in accordance with the carrying capacity laws of sustainability is

a sine qua non354 for all other constitutional rights355; and (B) the laws of human

nature; where the relevant disputing parties cultural, religious, and ideological laws of

human nature356, are applied to achieve the greatest possible level of intra-species

harmony and balance.

354 “Environmental Protection as a Principle of International Law : The protection of the environment is likewise a vital part of contemporary human rights doctrine, for it is a sine qua non for numerous human rights such as the right to health and the right to life itself. It is scarcely necessary to elaborate on this, as damage to the environment can impair and undermine all; the human rights spoken of in the Universal Declaration and other human rights instruments.” -- Opinion of Weeramantry J in the Case Concerning the Gabcikovo-Nagymaros Project (Hungary v Slovakia) (1998) 37 International Legal Materials 162 206. 355 Democracy Cannot Survive Overpopulation, Al Bartlett, Ph.D., Population & Environment, Vol. 22, No. 1, Sep 2000, pgs. 63-71; Bartlett (1994/09): Reflections on Sustainability, Population Growth, and the Environment, Population & Environment, Vol. 16, No. 1, Sep 1994, pp. 5-35; Clugston, C (2009): Sustainability Defined (WakeUpAmerika) 356 Henrich Joseph, Heine Steven, Norenzayan Ara (05 March 2009); Watters, Ethan (25 Feb 2013); Jones, Dan (25 June 2010)

108

[113] Civilized Patriarchy’s AnthroCorpocentric Jurisprudence Legal Matrix, consciously and unconsciously regulates the relations between humans, nature and

other animals species by totally ignoring (i) the laws of nature/ecology, allowing

citizens to procreate and consume above carrying capacity levels, resulting in ecological

overshoot, scarcity and scarcity induced resource conflict; (ii) the laws of human

nature, where relevant disputing parties sub-cultural, religious, and ideological values

are ignored; all on behalf of, and for the almost exclusive benefits of Anthropocentric

males and corporations.

109

[114] A credible impartial objective analysis of civilized patriarchy’s Innocence for Sale Indulgence Legal Matrix finds that civilized patriarchy’s corporate, political, religious, media and cultural elite’s GDP/growth agenda’s victimhood welfare-vote-farm, poverty

pimping and cannon fodder schemes (a) legislate laws which enable and encourage

citizens procreation or consumption to transgress cultural carrying capacity, knowing

(b) such legislation results in ecological overshoot, surplus vote-cannon-fodder

populations, economic hierarchical inequality, and scarcity induced local, national and

international conflict; (c) that ecological overshoot in multi-cultural/ethnic/religious

communities, manifests as inter-cultural / ethnic / religious conflict; (d) inter-cultural /

ethnic conflict is a great divide and conquer tool to manipulate the proletariat to

perceive other cultural/ethnic proletariat as the source of their own overshoot-scarcity-

conflict misery; as opposed to demanding their Duhmockery leaders abide by the

110

Ecology of Peace Commandment: “Thou shalt not legislate laws which enable citizens procreation or consumption to transgress cultural carrying capacity.”

AnthroCorpocentric Jurisprudence’s Innocence for Sale Indulgence Legal Matrix:

“Corporations are a Frankenstein monster which States have

created by their corporation laws.” - Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis, 1916

“Every right must be evaluated in the network of all rights claimed and the environment in which these rights are exercised.

If we hold that every right, “natural” or not, must be evaluated in the total system of rights operating in a world that is

limited, we must inevitably conclude that no right can be

presumed to be absolute, that the effect of each right on the

suppliers as well as on the demanders must be determined before

we can ascertain the quantity of right that is admissible. From

here on out, ours is a limited world. Rights must also be

limited. The greater the population, the more limited the per

capita supply of all goods; hence the greater must be the

limitation on individual rights, including the right to breed. At

its heart, this is the political meaning of the population

problem.” – Garrett Hardin, Limited World, Limited Rights

[115] Civilized Patriarchy’s Legal Matrix Reality doctrine -- the Inalienable ‘Right to Breed and Consume, but you need a License to Own a Gun, a License to Drive a Car, a

License to Practice Law, a television license, a credit license, a license to earn a living,

a university exemption license, a license to fish, a license to hunt, a liquor license, a

business license, a marriage license, in some U.S. states, five year olds, even need to

get a license to run a lemonade stand on their front lawn -- hypocritically referred to as

the ‘rule-of-law’ is a legal world of lawyers, politicians and priests, who prefer to

negligently ignore, plausibly deny, or socio-psycho-phallicly benefit from the conquer-

and-multiply and divide and conquer control over the means of human reproduction

and consumption. It is a Matrix reality, of legal, political and religious indulgence

salesmen.

[116] It is a legal world, very similar to the Matrix religious world that existed before

Martin Luther confronted the religious indulgence salesmen with his Ninety-Five

Theses, on the Church of All Saints, on 31 October 1517, thereby initiating the

Protestant Reformation.

[117] In the Catholic Church’s religious Matrix world, only Catholic Bishops were entitled to be interpreters of the ‘word of god’. Only they could decide what God meant,

111

about who was guilty and who was innocent, who would go to hell and who would go to

heaven. God did not speak to common people, except via the Catholic Church’s bishops.

[118] In Civilized Patriarchy’s Legal Matrix world, only those who swear blind obedience to Civilized Patriarchy’s Legal Matrix world – lawyers, prosecutors and

judges – are deemed to possess the supposed superior intellectual Legal Godlike

capabilities, to decipher, decode and interpret the ‘word of civilized patriarch gods’, hence capable of deciding which of us mere Commons surplus cannon fodder mortals

acts of commission, or omission, is ‘lawful’ or ‘unlawful’.

[119] Civilized Patriarchy’s Legal Matrix ‘AnthroCorpocentric law’ is based upon Flat Earth ‘jurisprudence’, as per the demands of those capable of purchasing Flat Earth

legislation indulgences which make their ecologically – breeding/consumption war --

criminal acts, to be deemed as ‘legal/lawful’ conduct by the Legal Matrix Bishops: lawyers, prosecutors and Judges.

[120] It is a Matrix world of legal indulgence salesmen; who -- ‘Contempt in Facie Curiae’ -- demand the public’s sycophantic submissive obedience; for their supposed superior intellectual Godlike capabilities, to decipher, decode and interpret which of us

mere Commons surplus cannon and vote fodder mortals acts of commission, or

omission, is ‘lawful’ or ‘unlawful’.

Thieving, Conquering, Murdering and Culling Acts of Un/Lawfulness:

“Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.” - Henry Kissinger; The Final Days357, by Bob Woodward & Carl Bernstein

[121] Surplus vote fodder citizens may convert to becoming cannon-fodder citizens by

joining the military to commit conquering or culling acts of murder and theft, as long

as their murder and theft is sanctioned as a lawful conquer, culling or theft order, by

one or more groups of left/right conquer-and-multiply legal indulgence salesmen.

[122] In this Matrix Reality legal world, soldiers tasked with the national security

conquering and culling responsibilities, of conquering to thieve another tribe’s resources, and culling population ‘useless eaters’ and ‘oxygen thieves’ surplus population excesses; on behalf of the conquering and culling profiteering demands of

civilized patriarchy’s civilian corporate and political elite; constantly find themselves

confronted with the conquer-or-culling “Befehl ist Befehl” Catch 22 dilemma:

[122.1] To obey, or not to obey, a ‘Lebensraum’, ‘Difaqane’, ‘Operation Freedumb’ and the thousands like them, order to conquer or cull; since a lawful conquer or culling

357 Chapter 14, pp. 194-195

112

order, by one group of left/right conquer-and-multiply legal indulgence salesmen, can

easily be reinterpreted to be an unlawful order, by another group of opposing left/right

conquer-and multiply legal indulgence salesmen; presenting a Catch 22 dilemma from

which there is no legal escape.

[123] One who refuses a ‘lawful’ conquering or culling order will still probably be jailed for refusing orders, and one who accepts an ‘unlawful order will be jailed for committing unlawful culling or conquering acts.

[124] Who decides, what is, and what is not, a conquering or culling lawful, or unlawful

order?

[125] The ‘Inalienable Right to Breed’ Matrix Reality conquer-and-multiply indulgence

salesmen, with their specious justifications, and nightmare of Legal Matrix reality

generated bureaucratic stare-decisis cryptic rules and statutes, of course!

"I don't know what you mean by 'glory,' " Alice said.

Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. "Of course you don't—till I tell you. I meant 'there's a nice knock-down argument for you!' "

"But 'glory' doesn't mean 'a nice knock-down argument'," Alice

objected.

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful

tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less."

"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean

so many different things."

"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master—that's all."

-- Through the Looking Glass, by Lewis Carroll

Anthropocentric Master’s of ‘Relevance’ Jurisprudence:

[126] The question in a civilized patriarchy court is only concerned with who is the

master of one word: ‘relevance’.

[127] Any question or answer that exposes civilized patriarchy’s Legal Matrix system for what it is; a system far more corrupt than the Catholic Church’s Indulgences for Sale religious matrix, is simply deemed as ‘irrelevant’.

[128] It is ‘irrelevant’ that legislators, lawyers, courts and judges defy the laws of

ecology with a massive ‘fuck you’, by legislating, interpreting and enforcing Legal Matrix doctrine, that encourages citizens to breed and consume above cultural carrying

capacity limits.

113

[129] It is ‘irrelevant’ that legislators, lawyers, courts and judges know that legislation

which ignores carrying capacity limits results in ecological overshoot, surplus vote-

cannon-fodder populations, economic hierarchical inequality, and scarcity induced

local, national and international conflict.

[130] It is ‘irrelevant’ that legislators, lawyers, courts and judges know that legislation

which enables ecological overshoot in multi-cultural/ethnic/religious communities,

manifests as inter-cultural / ethnic / religious conflict

[131] It is ‘irrelevant’ that legislators, lawyers, courts and judges know that inter-

cultural / ethnic conflict is a great divide and conquer tool to manipulate the proletariat

to perceive other cultural/ethnic proletariat as the source of their own overshoot-

scarcity-conflict misery.

[132] It is ‘irrelevant’ that legislators, lawyers, courts and judges sit in judgement about

an accused’s case of theft or murder; while consciously ignoring the theft and thievery

and participation in mass murder of the civilized patriarchy corporate elite, who

purchased ‘Innocence for Sale’ Indulgences from legislators to avoid legislation that defines their ecologically criminal acts of billion and trillion dollar thievery and murder

as ‘unlawful’.

[133] What is relevant?:

[134] It is relevant that civilized patriarchy’s penis constitutions human factory farming

rights to breed and consume, is to be master —that's all.

[135] Who says so?:

[136] Civilized Patriarchy’s ecologically illiterate Legal Matrix Legislator’s, lawyers, judges and prosecutors ego-genitals say so!

Anthropocentric Jurisprudence – Ego-Penis/Vagina – Matrix Monologues:

[137] When a member of civilized patriarchy is in conversation with his/her ego-

penis/vagina: who is the boss in such relationship?

[138] Is their legal rational, impartial, evidentiary mind, based upon ecological carrying

capacity science, in charge?

[139] Or are their ego-genitals demands to breed and consume with total disregard for

ecological carrying capacity limits; to profit from vote fodder and cannon fodder surplus

populations to use as their political and military battering ram to conquer other tribes

to steal their resources; in charge?

[140] Does s/he Tell his/her Legal Matrix Ego-Penis/Vagina who is the Boss?:

114

[140.1] Does s/he set an Ecology of peace example, by procreating and consuming below carrying capacity levels? (Procreate one child, to consume below 1 gha; P procreate no children, to consume below 20 gha).

[141] Does s/he practice ecology of peace legal advocacy by encouraging and supporting

citizens (whether as accused in your courtroom, or plaintiff or accused client) to support

the enactment of constitutional amendments limiting all citizens rights to breed and

consume to below carrying capacity levels?

[142] Does s/he Walk their Talk of Supporting the Troops to avoid participating in any

Civilized Patriarchy Culling or Conquering Wars, to embrace an Ecology of Peace

Warrior mythology that is based purely upon the defence of the landbase, authorizing

Military Leaders to hold her/him personally accountable by taking the MILINT Earth

Day Ecology of Peace Oath to Walk your Eco-Footprint Talk of Supporting the Troops

by breeding and consuming below carrying capacity.

[143] Does s/he Ask his/her Legal Matrix Ego-Penis/Vagina who is the Boss?:

[143.1] Does s/he set a civilized patriarchy Legal Matrix Human Factory Farming War Economy example, by procreating and consuming above carrying capacity levels? (Procreate one or more children and consume above 1 gha; procreate no children, and consume above 20 gha).

[143.2] Does s/he practice civilized patriarchy human factory farming legal advocacy

by legislating / enforcing / advocating on behalf of laws which enable citizens

procreation or consumption to transgress cultural carrying capacity?

[143.3] Does her/his Talk about Supporting the Troops refer to endorsing civilized

patriarchy’s legal matrix to breed surplus vote and cannon fodder for the purposes of

conquering and culling surplus populations and their property and resources; on behalf

of the socio-political and economic benefits of the corporate, political and juristic elite?

STATE OF ANTHROCORPOCENTRIC JURISPRUDENCE SYSTEM:

Æquilibriæx (stable and balanced) or

Disequilibrium (dizzy/out of balance/unstable)

[144] In Stalking the Wild Taboo358, Garrett Hardin deals with the concept of

Competition, a process that is inescapable in societies living in a finite resource world.

358 Part 4: Competition: (20) Competition, a Tabooed Idea in Sociology; (21) The Cybernetics of Competition; (22) Population, Biology and the Law; (23) Population Skeletons in the Environmental Closet; (24) The Survival of Nations and Civilisations

115

He proves that the end result of perfect laissez-faire, competition’s end result reduces all competitors until there is only one left.

[145] The monopolist will try to manipulate the machinery of society in such a way as to

extend his powers everywhere, without limit. The same applies to labour monopolies.

Under these conditions it is important to seek the boundary conditions within which

the rule of laissez-faire can produce stability. An Act that may be harmless when the

system is healthy and strong may be quite destructive when the system is stressed

near its limits. To promote the goal of stability, a law must take cognizance not

only of the act but also of the state of the system at the time the act is

performed.

[146] Is civilized patriarchy’s jurisprudence control of reproduction and consumption

enabling a socio-political and ecological system of stability between humans, nature

and other animal species, and between humans amongst themselves, in terms of their

gender, culture, ethnic, religious, ideological, class and eco-cultural conflicts?

[147] It is submitted that the current state of civilized patriarchy’s system of jurisprudence is wildly ecologically, psychologically, politically, militarily, financially

and spiritually unstable.

[148] Civilized patriarchy’s control of reproduction human factory farming war economy

[149] Metaphorically the six billion citizens sitting in Civilized Patriarchy’s AnthroCorpocentric jurisprudence Right to Breed and Consume planetary freight train

are speeding over the ecological overshoot – scarcity – conflict – economic collapse cliff,

without any seat belts, or parachutes; while the judge drivers of civilized patriarchy’s legal matrix freight train, refuse to investigate holding prosecutors and legislators

criminally responsible for the absence of carrying capacity limits legislation, or to enact

carrying capacity limits jurisprudence to restrict citizens rights to breed and consume

to below carrying capacity levels; to pull the parachute ripcord and slow the descent of

the ecological overshoot – scarcity – conflict – economic collapse freight train’s descent towards its collision with the ecological sustainability iceberg.

CONTROL OF REPRODUCTION:

Human Factory Farming War Economy Racket

“Karl Marx had it wrong. Class has, to be sure, been a major factor in history; but class itself is a derivative concept that

is based on the ultimate causative power in history: sex. Marx‘s famous formulation must be revised: The history of all hitherto

existing society is the history of struggles based on the

division of our species into two sexes, jealousies emanating from

this division, exaggerations of the differences between the

sexes, misunderstandings about sexual reproductive power, and

metaphors derived from sex. Together, these closely related

matters constitute the most important, but largely neglected, set

of motive forces in human history. Control -- or the claim of

control -- over the means of reproduction has been even more

fundamental to history than has control of the means of

production.' - Robert McElvaine, Eve's Seed: Biology, the Sexes

and the Course of History

“We must all understand that the most potent weapons of war are the penis and the womb. Therefore, if you cannot convince a group

to control its population by discussion, debate, intelligent

analysis etc., you must consider their action in using the penis

and the womb to increase population an act of war.” - Former

Municipal Court Judge Jason G. Brent

(PDF371), documents detailed evidence for the following facts, should any of the facts be

disputed:

[150.1] Fact #1: Civilized Patriarchy’s AnthroCorpocentric Jurisprudence frequently legislates licensing laws to ensure competence or protect consumers.

[150.2] Fact #2: AnthroCorpocentric Legal doctrine has legislated licensing laws

related to gun ownership, driving a car, practicing law, watching television, obtaining

credit, earning a living as a professional, fishing, hunting, selling liquor, operating a

business, getting married, etc.

[150.3] Fact #3: AnthroCorpocentric Jurisprudence has avoided legislating licensing

procreation laws to (a) protect unwanted and unloved children from being procreated;

and/or (b) to require citizens to maintain their procreation factor footprint below

carrying capacity levels.

[150.4] Fact #4: Significant historical evidence exists of Masculine Insecurity

Patriarchy’s obsession with controlling women’s reproduction powers – subservient

status as human factory farming brood sows – for the purposes of breeding unwanted

and unloved children, as economic and/or vote or cannon fodder surplus populations for

the socio-political benefits of the patriarchal elite.

[150.5] Fact #5: Significant historical evidence exists of Masculine Insecurity

Patriarchy’s obsession – from Houari Boumediene, Yasser Arafat, Dr. Khalid

Muhammad, to Nelson Mandela’s ANC and Adolf Hitler’s Nazi party – with using the

Control of Reproduction as a Breeding War Weapon of War.

[150.6] Fact #6: Factions of the civilized patriarchy elite socio-politically and

economically profit from their Control of Reproduction jurisprudence absence of a

Breeding/Parenting License, enabling a Surplus Cannon Fodder Population for

profitable conquering and culling acts of theft and murder, as part of civilized

patriarchy’s Human Factory Farming War Economy.

[150.7] Fact #7: Factions of the civilized patriarchy elite socio-politically and

economically profit from their Control of Reproduction jurisprudence absence of a

Breeding/Parenting License, enabling a welfare vote farm Surplus Vote-Fodder

population, economically and psychologically co-dependent upon their civilized

patriarchy Foxy Liberal masters.

[150.8] Conclusion: Civilized patriarchy’s control of reproduction is a most profitable human factory farming vote and cannon fodder war economy racket.

Masculine Insecurity: Religious Foundation of Anthropocentric

Jurisprudence’s Human Farming ‘Control of Reproduction’ War Economy Racket.

“Masculine Insecurity: The moment in every man's life when he questions the size of his schlong.” - Urban Dictionary

“The male does not have an erection .. The penis is in a state of erection, as long as the man is in a state of excitement.

If something interferes with this excitement, the man has

nothing. And in contrast to practically all other kinds of

behaviour, the erection cannot be faked .. a man, after all,

is a man for only a few minutes; most of the time he is a

little boy .. in that aspect which for many a man is the proof

that he is a man.” - Erich Fromm372

Lama Drukpa Kunley lived in the 15-16th century (aka “Mad Saint” or "Divine Madman" or Madman from Kyishodruk) for his unorthodox ways of painting Thunderbolt of Flaming Wisdom Erect Phallus’ on walls, to shock the uppity and prudish Buddhist clergy. Traditionally erect penis symbols in Bhutan were to drive away evil spirits & malicious gossip.

"Representation of female nudity is conventionally a blatant sign of reduction of the female to sexuality [...] Phallic imagery that reminds men of their self-centeredness is a counterculture, not a celebration of the male. It is a condemnation of the unchecked male ego, rather than a rigid fiesta of all things phallocentric." - Dasho Karma Ura, president of the Centre for Bhutan Studies in the capital of Thimpu

“Threaten a man's masculinity and he will assume more macho attitudes: Masculine overcompensation is the idea that men who

are insecure about their masculinity will behave in an

extremely masculine way as compensation. I wanted to test this

idea and also explore whether overcompensation could help

explain some attitudes like support for war and animosity to

homosexuals. I found that if you made men more insecure about

their masculinity, they displayed more homophobic attitudes,

tended to support the Iraq War more and would be more willing

to purchase an SUV over another type of vehicle.” – Daniel Aloi373

[151] Definition of Religion: Group-Shared System of Thought and Action that Offers

the Individual a Frame of Orientation and an Object of Devotion:

“To clarify, “religion” as I use it here does not refer to a system that has necessarily to do with a concept of God or with

idols or even to a system perceived as religion, but to any

group-shared system of thought and action that offers the

individual a frame of orientation and an object of devotion.

Indeed, in this broad sense of the world no culture of the past

or present, and it seems no culture in the future, can be

considered as not have religion.

This definition does not tell us anything about its specific

content. People may worship animals, trees, idols of gold or

stone, an invisible god, a saintly person, or a diabolical

leader; they may worship their ancestors, their nation, their

class or party, money or success. Their religion may be conducive

to the development of destructiveness or of love, of domination

or of solidarity; it may further their power of reason or

paralyze it.

.. A specific religion, provided it is effective in motivating

conduct, is not a sum total of doctrines and beliefs; it is

rooted in a specific character structure of the individual and,

inasmuch as it is the religion of a group, in the social

character. Thus, our religious attitude may be considered an

aspect of our character structure, for we are what we are devoted

to, and what we are devoted to is what motivates our conduct.

Often however, individuals are not even aware of the real objects

of their personal devotion and mistake their “official” beliefs for their real, though secret religion. If, for instance, a man

worships power while professing a religion of love, the religion

of power is his secret religion, while his so-called official

religion, for example Christianity, is only an ideology.” – Erich Fromm, To Have or to Be, pp.135-136

“What is history? The lie that everyone agrees on...” – Voltaire

[152] In Eve’s Seed: Masculine Insecurity, Metaphor, and the Shaping of History, and Eve’s Seed: Biology, the Sexes and the Course of History, Robert McElvaine described it thus: “Karl Marx had it wrong. Class has, to be sure, been a major factor in history; but class itself is a derivative concept that is based on the ultimate causative power in history: sex. Marx‘s famous formulation must be revised: The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of struggles based on the division of our species into two sexes, jealousies emanating from this division, exaggerations of the differences between the sexes, misunderstandings about sexual reproductive power, and metaphors derived from sex. Together, these closely related matters constitute the most important, but largely neglected, set of motive forces in human history. Control -- or the claim of control -- over the means of reproduction has been even more fundamental to history than has control of the means of production...

[152.1] Robert McElvaine “throws down the gauntlet to academics and non-specialists alike, daring a radical rethinking of the basic 'truths' on which cultures have been constructed.” He argues that “there is nothing unique to Islam about male insistence on the subordination of and male control over women and their bodies.” McElvaine says misogynistic rulers may be religious fanatics, but their religion is not Islam, but Woody Allen‘s religion in his 2001 movie, The Curse of the Jade Scorpion: “insecure masculinity”.

[152.2] Eve's Seed reviews “some 94 centuries of human history, stretching from 8,000 B.C.E. and the invention of agriculture through the Middle Ages”, to 20th century America, explaining how and why sexually insecure – “not-a-woman” – men seek validation of their manhood by pursuing power, and have used their power to disproportionately influence the shaping of cultures.

[152.3] According to John Pettegrew, Deepening the History of Masculinity and

the Sexes: “Vitally important to early economic and political history (bringing such changes as the creation of substantial material surplus and the rise of large states and war), agriculture—what McElvaine describes as the first of two "mega-revolutions"—also sparked a massive male "backlash," as the female invention of planting crops and animal husbandry undermined the male role as hunter. Among the masculinist responses, men took over agriculture and invented war, as women became relegated to increasing the population needed for the new social order.”

[152.4] Subsequent cultural consequences being the “conception misconception”, that men held all procreative power, and women were simply the dirt, wherein the seed was planted, which led to the assumption that the God-Creative-Force is male. The second mega-revolution occurred in the 16th century with the rise of geographic mobility and the marketplace. Manhood became associated with possessive individualism, however this conflicts with mans natural state towards association and cooperation formed during humanity‘s long history of hunting in groups.

121

[152.5] Women can do all the important things that men can (although, because of physical differences, in some areas not as well, on average), but there are some essential things that women can do that men cannot: bear and give birth to children and nourish them from their bodies.

[152.6] Because of this relative incapacity, many men suffer, largely subconsciously, from what might be termed "womb envy" and "breast envy," or even the "non-menstrual syndrome."

[152.7] To compensate for the things that they cannot do, men tell women that they may not do other things. Which activities women are excluded from varies from one culture to another, but some form of the procedure can be found in all societies. (A striking example of this practice in our own culture can be seen in a statement a Catholic bishop made in 1992: "A woman priest is as impossible as for me to have a baby.")

[152.8] Because they cannot compete with women's capabilities in the crucial realms of reproduction and nourishing offspring, men generally seek to avoid a single standard of human behavior and achievement. They create separate definitions of "manliness" which are based on a false opposition to "womanliness." A "real man" has been seen in most cultures as "notawoman."

[152.9] The "notawoman" definition of manhood leads men greatly to exaggerate the genuine, but small, differences between the sexes. Far from being gender-benders, men tend to be genderextenders. This produces the fallacious, but virtually universal, idea that women and men are "opposite sexes." This way of thinking can accurately be termed a bi-polar disorder.

[152.10] Although this viewpoint actually begins with woman as the "standard" human and proceeds to define man by its supposed vast differences from that standard, people do not like to see themselves in negative terms, so men have generally sought ways to transform woman into a negative, thus making man positive.

[152.11] These basic tendencies have existed throughout history, including what is inaccurately called "prehistory," but during the vast majority of human existence both sexes had obviously essential roles. Women seemingly produced the children, nourished and cared for them, and also provided a large portion of the food for the group through gathering. Men provided meat through hunting and had the bulk of the responsibility for protecting the group from predators. This added up in many hunter-gatherer societies to some approximation of equality between the sexes.

[152.12] Human life -- and the situation of both sexes -- was radically changed by the invention of agriculture, which in all likelihood was accomplished by women. These changes were so dramatic that they comprise one of two mega-revolutions in human existence.

[152.13] Many ancient myths (including, most notably, chapters 3 of the Book of Genesis) constitute allegories for the invention of agriculture by women (Eve's eating

122

from the Tree of Knowledge) and its long-term consequences (the loss of what seemed in distant retrospect to have been a pre-agricultural paradise in which people lived easily, without work, simply picking fruit from trees, and man having to go forth and till the soil to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow). The "Fall of Man" is a metaphor for an actual fall of men.

[152.14] Agriculture moved Homo sapiens from what ecologists refer to as a K-selected reproductive strategy (limited resources make it appropriate to have a small number of offspring and invest heavily in each) to an r-selected reproductive strategy (abundant resources relative to population make it possible and desirable to have a large number of offspring).

[152.15] This meant that the development of agriculture greatly enhanced the importance of one of the traditional female roles. Women would now be called upon to spend more of their lives in reproduction and less in production of food and other resources.

[152.16] The development of methods for the intentional production of food (animal herding as well as agriculture) substantially devalued what men had traditionally done. Hunting was no longer needed and defense against other species declined in importance as groups of humans settled in growing numbers in farming areas into which predators ventured less frequently than their paths had crossed those of human hunter-gatherers.

[152.17] The loss of value in their traditional roles left men adrift, seeking new meaningful roles, and increasingly resentful of women. The result was what can accurately be seen as a Neolithic and early Bronze Age backlash or "masculinist movement."

[152.18] As men sought new roles, they took over what had previously been considered female roles. Agriculture itself was one of these. By the time plow agriculture began (ca. 4000 BCE), men were displacing women in the fields.

[152.19] At this point there arose an almost irresistible metaphor, the very widespread acceptance of which has shaped (or, more accurately, misshaped) human life through all of recorded history. The apparent analogy of a seed being planted in furrowed soil to a male's "planting" of semen in the vulva of a female led to the conclusion that men provide the seed of new life and women constitute the soil in which that seed grows. This metaphor has remained with us throughout history and it continues to mislead us in profound ways down to the present.

[152.20] The seed metaphor reversed the apparent positions of the sexes in regard to procreative power. What had always appeared to be a principally female power was transformed into an entirely male power. No longer apparent bystanders in reproduction, men now claimed to be the reproducers, while women were reduced from the seeming creators to the soil in which men's creations grow. Women were left with all the work of procreation, but men now took all the credit.

123

[152.21] During the Neolithic Age, then, women both ceased to be major producers (as men took over the production of plant food along with continuing their traditional responsibility for providing animal food) and ceased to be seen as having reproductive power.

[152.22] The woman-made world of agriculture had, paradoxically, become a man's world to a degree unprecedented in human existence. Hell hath no fury like a man devalued.

[152.23] The belief that men have procreative power led inevitably to the conclusion that the supreme Creative Power must also be male. The toxic fruit that grew from the seed metaphor was male monotheism.

[152.24] The combination of the belief that God (or the god who is the ultimate creator) is male with the notion that humans are created in God's image yielded the inescapable conclusion that men are closer than women to godly perfection. Thus the line from the misconceptions about conception emanating from the seed metaphor to the belief, given its classic expressions by Aristotle, Aquinas, and Freud, that women are deformed or "incomplete" men is clear and direct.

[152.25] As is suggested by the fact that the root of the word authority is author, it is the erroneous idea that men are the "authors" -- the creators -- that has formed the largely unspoken but pervasive basis for male authority throughout history. A clear example is the patria potestas that gave an ancient Roman man the power to "dispose of" his children. A father was thought to be the creator of "his" children and so he was granted the right to take away the life he was supposed to have given.

[152.26] The seed metaphor and the mistaken conclusions that followed from it enabled men to stand womb envy on its head. The reversal was given its most influential religious authority in the Bible. The human female is named woman (meaning "out of man") in Genesis 2 because we are told that the first woman was born from a man. And in Genesis 3 woman's creative power is reclassified as a curse and burden: "in pain you shall bring forth children."

[152.27] The reversal of womb envy found its strongest "scientific" authority in Aristotle's Generation of Animals, where he argued that the great defect in women is that they lack generative power. In earlier times, when the male role in procreation was not comprehended, men had seemed like "infertile women" or "deformed women." Aristotle asserted that it was the other way around. By contending that menstrual fluid is a weak form of semen, lacking in the male fluid's life-giving powers, he also reversed the non-menstrual syndrome. He was saying, in effect, that men have the good genital discharge and menstrual bleeding is just a weak, infertile form of the powerful male secretion.

[152.28] Once the seed metaphor had sprouted into the idea that God is male and so women are inferior, the original "notawoman" definition of manhood took on new and more menacing implications. Now what had been an essentially horizontal division

124

became a clearly vertical one: traits and values associated with women were not simply classified as improper for men, but as inferior.

[152.29] The total subordination of women throughout recorded history is but the first part of the devastating legacy of the Neolithic backlash and the seed metaphor. Equally important has been the concomitant suppression in men of all values, ideas, and characteristics associated with women and so defined as inferior.

[152.30] Since many of the values classified as "feminine" (such as compassion, cooperation, nurturing, and self-sacrifice) are essential for the well-being of human societies, ways had to be found to bring them back, at least to a degree. This was accomplished principally through a series of male religious and philosophical figures, between the sixth century BCE and the first century CE, ranging from Confucius and the Buddha through the later Hebrew prophets and Jesus. These men preached the values that had been defined as feminine to men as well as women.

[152.31] Religion has played a paradoxical role in the shaping of history based on sex. On the one hand, most religions since the rise of male monotheism have provided major weapons in advancing the argument of male superiority and female subordination. The paradox lies in the fact that religions have also been the principal means through which the more "feminine" characteristics and values have been urged upon society (especially men).

[152.32] The need to appeal to men was at cross purposes with the objective of religions to restrain some of the maladaptive traits that are classified as "masculine" (e.g. quick resort to violence, hierarchical domination, and competitiveness). Men were unlikely to listen to women telling them to act in ways that had been defined as "feminine," so a male priesthood seemed essential. But the men who took over Christianity had by the fourth century gone a long way towards "efeminating" (removing its feminine characteristics) the religion.

[152.33] The basic problem insecure males have with sexual equality is that it threatens to re-establish a single human standard, one that includes areas in which men are unable to compete. Hence such men react fiercely and attempt to reinforce the wall they have erected between the sexes.

[152.34] The desperate attempts of some men to re-institute a sexual apartheid with clear ideas of hierarchical difference between the sexes can be seen all around us. Examples include the escalation of violent misogyny in popular music, the rise of anorexic chic for women and super body-building as the ideal for men, the Catholic Church's reiteration of its insistence that women can never be priests, the redoubled efforts of the Nation of Islam, Promise Keepers, and the Southern Baptist Convention to subordinate women, widespread homophobia, the order of the Taliban government in Afghanistan that all women be veiled and all men grow beards, the immense sales of a book whose title asserts that men and women are from different planets, and the proliferation of vulgar sexual language that is rooted in the claim that men are

125

superior to women.

[152.35] The first step in attempting to deal with the misshaping of the human experience that has been a direct consequence of the misunderstanding of reproductive power that took hold some six thousand years ago is to reject the idea that God is male. The second is to try, at last, to realize just how catastrophic the consequences of accepting the implications of the seed metaphor have been and to accept instead the conclusions about sexual equality towards which our modern understanding of the true nature of procreative power point.

[152.36] To confront how masculine insecurity’s demand for the Control -- or the claim of control -- over the means of reproduction has been even more fundamental to our cultural history and cultural institutions, than has control of the means of production...

Legislators allege Licensing of Occupations is to Ensure Occupational

Competence:

“It seems there is pretty much a consensus that when it comes to things that have the possibility to .. negatively impact the

lives of people or society in general, regulation is desirable.

Considering this, there is one sort of licence that is

conspicuous by its absence: a licence to breed. .. Even the SPCA

checks out prospective dog owners and their property before

allowing them to adopt an animal. A system that requires

prospective parents to demonstrate the necessary material means

and parenting knowledge to look after children before being

allowed to procreate would be the ideal solution to the problem.

Unfortunately, uncontrolled breeding has left humanity far too

stupid to implement something of the sort.” - Michael Coetzee, Licence to Breed, 12 August 2009, The Citizen.

“We have seen more than once that the public welfare may call upon the best citizens for their lives. It would be strange if it

could not call upon those who already sap the strength of the

State for these lesser sacrifices, often not felt to be such by

those concerned, in order to prevent our being swamped with

incompetence. It is better for all the world if, instead of

waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them

starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are

manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that

sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting

the Fallopian tubes. Three generations of imbeciles are enough.” - U.S. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Buck v. Bell,

as a professional, fish, hunt, sell liquor, operate a business, get married – once they have fulfilled certain skills or informed consent commitment requirements required for the particular licence.

[153.1] According to Kleiner, Morris: Licensing Occupations: Ensuring Quality

or Restricting Competition?374: “Occupational licensing is defined as a process where entry into an occupation requires the permission of the government, and the state requires some demonstration of a minimum degree of competency. The state usually creates a nongovernmental licensing board with political appointees, public members and members of the occupation to oversee the regulated occupations. Generally, members of the occupation dominate the licensing boards. The agency must usually be self-supporting by collecting fees and registration charges from persons in the licensed occupations. [..] The main benefits that are suggested for occupational licensing involve improving quality for those persons receiving the service. Occupational licensure creates a greater incentive for individuals to invest in more occupation-specific human capital because they will be more able to recoup the full returns to their investment if they need not face low-quality substitutes for their services (Akerlof, 1970; Shapiro, 1986).”

“Every right must be evaluated in the network of all rights claimed and the environment in which these rights are exercised.

If we hold that every right, ―natural" or not, must be evaluated in the total system of rights operating in a world that is

limited, we must inevitably conclude that no right can be

presumed to be absolute, that the effect of each right on the

suppliers as well as on the demanders must be determined before

we can ascertain the quantity of right that is admissible. From

here on out, ours is a limited world. Rights must also be

limited. The greater the population, the more limited the per

capita supply of all goods; hence the greater must be the

limitation on individual rights, including the right to breed. At

its heart, this is the political meaning of the population

In February 2001, the night of his election, Sharon sent an aide to ask Soffer for a copy of his 1987 treatise about the demographic threat to Israel; it was the same study that had led Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat to declare in the late 1980s that the "Palestinian womb" was his people's greatest weapon.

They would threaten you with their belts and ultimately you would think that if you refused, they would beat you. Our parents were afraid of them” (quoted by Delius 1996:189). All those opposing the wishes of the young men were reminded, that it was every woman‘s obligation to give birth to new “soldiers”, in order to replace those warriors killed in the liberation struggle.

Farm Management & Licensing: “State capitalism, socialism, communism, fascism, democracy – these are all livestock

management approaches. The most productive livestock are the

professionals, so the rulers fit them with an electronic dog

collar called a “license,” which only allows them to practice their trade on their own farm.” Animal Farm Elections: “To further create the illusion of freedom, the livestock are allowed to choose between a few

farmers, who provide a few minor choices in how they are

managed. They are never given the choice to shut down the farm,

and be truly free.” Problem of modern human livestock ownership: challenge of

“enthusiasm”: “Liberties are granted to the human livestock not with the goal of setting them free, but to increase their

productivity. Government schools are indoctrination pens to

[164] In War is a Racket, Former USMC General Smedley Butler writes:

War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as

something that is not what it seems to the majority of people.

Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted

for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses. … The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6

percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get

100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers

follow the flag.

I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy

investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should

fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the

Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.

And war is the most profitable racket in the world!

There isn't a trick in the racketeering bag that the military

gang is blind to. It has its "finger men" to point out enemies,

its "muscle men" to destroy enemies, its "brain men" to plan war

preparations, and a "Big Boss" Super-Nationalistic-Capitalism.

It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a

comparison. Truthfulness compels me to. I spent thirty- three

years and four months in active military service as a member of

this country's most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I

served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-

General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a

high class muscle- man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for

the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for

capitalism.

I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. Now I am

sure of it. Like all the members of the military profession, I

never had a thought of my own until I left the service. My mental

faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the

orders of higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the

military service.

I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil

interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place

for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped

in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the

benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I

helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of

Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where have I heard that name

before?). I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American

sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that

Standard Oil went its way unmolested.

During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would

say, a swell racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have

given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate

his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.

[165] In Chapter 2: Who Makes the Profits? USMC General Butler extensively

documents all the different companies, many which have nothing to do with

munitions; who consciously and intentionally profit from war. He concludes:

It has been estimated by statisticians and economists and

researchers that the war cost your Uncle Sam $52,000,000,000. Of

this sum, $39,000,000,000 was expended in the actual war itself.

This expenditure yielded $16,000,000,000 in profits. That is how

the 21,000 billionaires and millionaires got that way. This

$16,000,000,000 profits is not to be sneezed at. It is quite a

tidy sum. And it went to a very few.

There's a market for their pain,

Votes and glory and money to gain.

Let us celebrate the poor.

Their ills, their sins, their faulty diction

Flavor our songs and spice our fiction.

“This is how the game works: public money levied in taxes from the poor of the rich countries is transferred in the form of

‘foreign aid’ to the rich in the poor countries; the rich in the poor countries then hand it back for safe-keeping to the

rich in the rich countries. The real trick, throughout this

cycle of expropriation, is to maintain the pretence that it is

the poor in poor countries who are being helped all along. The

winner is the player who manages to keep a straight face while

building up a billion-dollar bank account” – Lords of Poverty, Graeme Hancock.

"When we address the issue of poverty, we really have to look

at the issue of who benefits from poverty, and the fact of the

matter is the wealthy folks benefit from poverty. So in a way

you might say the problem is not so much poverty, as the

problem is, wealth, prosperity, taken to an extreme; that

wealth is used as the measure of value in a culture. In order

for a relatively small percentage of the population to have

allot of wealth, you have to have a very large percentage of

the population essentially acting as slaves. They've got to be

impoverished. It is absolutely to the advantage of the

Corporatocracy’s, to the people who control our biggest Corporations, to have a mass of poor people around the world,

that they can draw on for labour, and as long as they remain

impoverished, they cannot object to their resources being

poverty pimping academic and non-profit profiteering racket elite; as cannon fodder

are to the War Economy Military Industrial Complex elite.

[168] In Living on a lifeboat388, Garrett Hardin describes how Multinational

Corporate Profits are the real motive for the alleged ‘humanitarian’ ‘Food Aid’ to Africa:

Following World War II, U.S. agricultural surpluses reached

alarming levels, and storage of excess grain cost the government

millions of dollars per year--even as the food deteriorated and

became inedible. A solution had to be found, and in 1954

President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Agricultural Trade

Development Assistance Act into law.

The program, known as Public Law 480, benefited the U.S. by

decreasing food surpluses and by creating new markets for its

agricultural products....

..... Our experience with Public Law 480 clearly reveals the

answer. This was the law that moved billions of dollars worth of

U.S. grain to food-short, population-long countries during the

past two decades. When P. L. 480 first came into being, a

headline in the business magazine Forbes (Paddock and Paddock

1970) revealed the power behind it: "Feeding the World's Hungry

Millions: How It Will Mean Billions for U.S. Business."

And indeed it did. In the years 1960 to 1970 a total of $7.9

billion was spent on the "Food for Peace" program, as P. L. 480

was called. During the years 1948 to 1970 an additional $49.9

billion were extracted from American taxpayers to pay for other

economic aid programs, some of which went for food and food-

producing machinery. (This figure does not include military aid.)

That P. L. 480 was a give-away program was concealed. Recipient

countries went through the motions of paying for P. L. 480 food -

with IOUs. In December 1973 the charade was brought to an end as

far as India was concerned when the United States "forgave"

India's $3.2 billion debt (Anonymous 1974). Public announcement

of the cancellation of the debt was delayed for two months; one

wonders why.

"Famine-1975!" (Paddock and Paddock 1970) is one of the few

publications that points out the commercial roots of this

humanitarian attempt. Though all U.S. taxpayers lost by P. L.

480, special interest groups gained handsomely. Farmers benefited

because they were not asked to contribute the grain -it was

bought from them by the taxpayers. Besides the direct benefit

there was the indirect effect of increasing demand and thus

raising prices of farm products generally. The manufacturers of

farm machinery, fertilizers, and pesticides benefited by the

farmers extra efforts to grow more food. Grain elevators profited

from storing the grain for varying lengths of time. Railroads

made money hauling it to port, and shipping lines by carrying it

overseas. Moreover, once the machinery for P. L. 480 was

established, an immense bureaucracy had a vested interest in its

continuance regardless of its merits.

Very little was ever heard of these selfish interests when P. L.

480 was defended in public. The emphasis was always on its

humanitarian effects. The combination of multiple and relatively

silent selfish interests with highly vocal humanitarian

apologists constitutes a powerful lobby for extracting money from

taxpayers. Foreign aid has become a habit that can apparently

survive in the absence of any known justification.

[169] According to Graeme Hancock’s Lords of Poverty: The Power, Prestige and

Corruption of the International Aid Business:

“At $60 billion a year [in 1989]… aid is already quite large enough to do harm. Indeed, as this book has argued at some

length, it is often profoundly dangerous to the poor and inimical

to their interests: it has financed the creation of monstrous

projects that, at vast expense, have devastated the environment

and ruined lives; it has supported and legitimised brutal

tyrannies; it has facilitated the emergence of fantastical and

Byzantine bureaucracies staffed by legions of self-serving

hypocrites; it has sapped the initiative, creativity and

enterprise of ordinary people and substituted the superficial and

irrelevant glitz of imported advice; it has sucked potential

entrepreneurs and intellectuals in the developing countries into

non-productive administrative activities; it has created a ‘moral tone’ in international affairs that denies the hard task of

wealth creation and that substitutes easy handouts for the

rigours of self-help; in addition, throughout the Third World, it

has allowed the dead grip of imposed officialdom to suppress

popular choice and individual freedom.

“Aid has its defenders, not least the highly paid public-

relations men and women who spend millions of dollars a year

justifying the continued existence of the agencies that employ

137

them. Such professional communicators must reject out of hand the

obvious conclusions of this book: that aid is a waste of time and

money, that its results are fundamentally bad, and that — far from being increased — it should be stopped forthwith before more damage is done.

“Whenever such suggestions are made the lobbyists throw up their hands in horror. Despite some regrettable failures, they protect,

aid is justified by its successes; despite some glitches and

problems, it is essentially something that works; most important

of all — the emotional touch, the appeal to the heartstrings — they argue with passion that aid must not be stopped because the

poor could not survive without it. The Brandt Commission provided

a classic example of this line of thought: ‘For the poorest countries,’ it told us flatly in its final report, ‘aid is essential to survival.’ “Such statements, however, patronise and undervalue the people of the poor countries concerned. They are, in addition, logically

indefensible when uttered by those who also want us to believe

that ‘aid works’. Through history and pre-history all countries everywhere got by perfectly well without any aid at all.

Furthermore, in the 1950s they got by with much less aid than

they did, for example, in the 1970s — and were apparently none the worse for the experience. Now, suddenly, at the tail end of

almost fifty years of development assistance, we are told that

large numbers of these same countries have lost the ability to

survive a moment longer unless they continue to receive ever-

larger amounts of aid. If this is indeed the case — and if the only measurable impact of all these decades of development has

been to turn tenacious survivors into helpless dependents — then it seems to me to be beyond dispute that aid does not work.

“On the other hand, if the statement that ‘aid works’ is true, then presumably the poor should be in a much better shape than

they were before they first began to receive it half a century

ago. If so, then aid’s job should by now be nearly over and it ought to be possible to begin a gradual withdrawal without

hurting anyone.

“Of course, the ugly reality is that most poor people in most poor countries most of the time never receive or even make

contact with aid in any tangible shape or form: whether is it

present or absent, increased or decreased, are thus issues that

are simply irrelevant to the ways in which they conduct their

daily lives. After the multi-billion-dollar ‘financial flows’ involved have been shaken through the sieve of over-priced and

irrelevant goods that must be bought in the donor countries,

filtered again in the deep pockets of hundreds of thousands of

foreign experts and aid agency staff, skimmed off by dishonest

commission agents, and stolen by corrupt Ministers and

Presidents, there is really very little left to go around. This

little, furthermore, is then used thoughtlessly, or maliciously,

or irresponsibly by those in power — who have no mandate from the

138

poor, who do not consult with them and who are utterly

indifferent to their fate. Small wonder, then, that the effects

of aid are so often vicious and destructive for the most

vulnerable members of human society.”

[174] In Global Problems and the Culture of Capitalism398, Richard Robbins, a

Professor of Anthropology at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh takes an

anthropological approach to understanding the industrial revolution and the role of

consumer capitalism contributed to a group of societies clustered largely, but not

exclusively, in the area of northern Europe, east Asia, and North America, came to

politically and economically dominate the societies of the rest of the world; and the

consequent global problems.

[175] The importance of an anthropological perspective is because a central tenet of

anthropology is that personal, social, cultural, and historical factors determine the

point of view any person might have of a specific phenomenon. No less is true of the

members of capitalism who have created the view that we have of global events.

Consequently, these views tend to be, to one extent or another, ethnocentric, the

describing, evaluating, and judging of events solely from a specific cultural perspective.

One of the major purposes of anthropology is to teach how to avoid ethnocentrism and

to appreciate the importance of understanding the beliefs and behaviors of others from

their own perspective rather than our own, a view anthropologists refer to as cultural

relativism. In order to minimize cultural bias we must recognize the fact that our view

398 Richard Robbins: Global Problems and the Culture of Capitalism; Allyn & Bacon Publishing Inc

142

of events is partially influenced by our culture, and, for that reason, we must make our

own culture an object of analysis.

[176] His intent is to provide enough background for the reader to begin to better

understand global problems, such as population growth, world hunger, environmental

destruction, disease, ethnic conflict, rebellion, and social and religious protest. His

approach is anthropological, but he does not hesitate to draw from other disciplines --

history, sociology, geography, political science, and, economics -- when he feels that is

necessary to understand first, capitalism, and second, how that culture contributes to

the global problems, including land scarcity resulting from land colonization, he

proceeds to discuss.

[177] For most of their existence human beings lived as bands of gatherers and hunters,

only a little bit as agriculturists and farmers, and just more recently as industrialists

and wage laborers. The industrial revolution however, has transformed the world and

human societies as no event in history. In order to understand the events, issues, and

problems of today's world we must understanding how and why that happened.

[178] He summarizes his approach as follows: there has emerged over the past five to

six centuries a distinctive culture or way of life dominated by a belief in commodity

consumption as the source of well-being. This culture flowered in Western Europe,

reached fruition in the United States and spread to encompass much of the rest of the

world, creating what some anthropologists, sociologists, and historians call the world

system. People disagree on the critical factor in the development of this system, and

whether or not it was even historically unique, although most agree on certain basic

ideas. Among the most important are the assumptions that the driving force behind the

spread of the contemporary world system was industrial and corporate capitalism, and

that the spread of the world system is

related in some way to the resulting division

of the world into wealthy nations and poor

nations, or into wealthy core, developed, or

industrialized areas, and dependent

peripheral, undeveloped, or non-

industrialized areas. The spread of the

capitalist world system has been

accompanied by the creation of distinctive

patterns of social relations, ways of viewing

the world, patterns of food production,

distinctive diets, patterns of health and

disease, relationships to the environment,

and so on. The spread of this culture has not

143

gone uncontested; there has been resistance that has taken the form of both direct and

indirect actions --political, religious, and social protest and revolution.

[179] One of the problems faced by indigenous peoples, is that their sustainable self-

sufficient, non-consumption focussed cultures often conflict with the compulsive

developmentism culture of capitalism. Indigenous, peasant and agrarian cultures

are incompatible with the culture of capitalism; because of their focus on self

sufficiency and refusal to become debt consumer and/or labour slaves in the

capitalist juggernaut.

Cultural Imperialism: The Religion of Compulsive Developmentism:

"In Savages & Civilization, Jack Weatherford makes the case that

the scientific, artistic, musical and philosophical achievements

of civilization were all inspired by our contact with savages.

Primitivists believe that, if it is at all possible to call any

culture “superior,” then it must be that of the primitives — those who inspired all of our greatest achievements, and suffer

144

none of our worst flaws." - Jason Godesky, 5 Common Objections to

Primitivism and Why They're Wrong399; Anarchist Library

[180] In Constant Conflict400, Lt. Col. Ralph Peters writes that the ultimate struggle is cultural.

[..] Contemporary American culture is the most powerful in

history, and the most destructive of competitor cultures. [..] We

are Karl Marx's dream, and his nightmare. Secular and religious

revolutionaries in our century have made the identical mistake,

imagining that the workers of the world or the faithful just

can't wait to go home at night to study Marx or the Koran. Well,

Joe Sixpack, Ivan Tipichni, and Ali Quat would rather "Baywatch."

America has figured it out [..] our cultural power will hinder

even those cultures we do not undermine.

[..] Our cultural empire has the addicted--men and women

everywhere--clamoring for more. And they pay for the privilege of

their disillusionment. [..]Our military power is culturally

based. [..] Hollywood is "preparing the battlefield," and burgers

precede bullets. The flag follows trade. .. [..] .. Our

unconscious alliance of culture with killing power is a combat

multiplier no government, including our own, could design or

afford. We are magic. And we're going to keep it that way.

[..] The action films of a Stallone or Schwarzenegger or Chuck

Norris rely on visual narratives that do not require dialog for a

basic understanding. They deal at the level of universal myth, of

pre-text, celebrating the most fundamental impulses (although we

have yet to produce a film as violent and cruel as the Iliad).

They feature a hero, a villain, a woman to be defended or won—and violence and sex. Complain until doomsday; it sells. The enduring

popularity abroad of the shopworn Rambo series tells us far more

about humanity than does a library full of scholarly analysis.

When we speak of a global information revolution, the effect of

video images is more immediate and intense than that of

computers. Image trumps text in the mass psyche, and computers

remain a textual outgrowth, demanding high-order skills:

computers demarcate the domain of the privileged. We use

technology to expand our wealth, power, and opportunities. The

rest get high on pop culture. If religion is the opium of the

people, video is their crack cocaine. When we and they collide,

they shock us with violence, but, statistically, we win.

[..] Violent conflict will dominate the headlines, but cultural

and economic struggles will be steadier and ultimately more

decisive. The de facto role of the US armed forces will be to

keep the world safe for our economy and open to our cultural

assault. To those ends, we will do a fair amount of killing.

[181] In Cultural Imperialism and Cultural Identity401, Sandbacka writes

Cultural imperialism is the economic, technological and cultural

hegemony of the industrialized nations, which determines the

direction of both economic and social progress, defines cultural

values, and standardizes the civilization and cultural

environment throughout the world.

The whole world is becoming a cultural common market area in

which the same kind of technical product development, the same

kind of knowledge, fashion, music and literature, the same kind

of metropolitan mass culture is manufactured, bought and sold.

Western ideologies, political beliefs, western science, western

laws and social institutions, western moral concepts, sexual

symbols and ideals of beauty, western working methods and leisure

activities, western foods, western pop idols and the western

concept of human existence have become objectives, examples and

norms everywhere in the world.

But there are too many dispossessed people who have amassed a few

western material possessions but no longer have any birthplace,

home or final resting-place.

[182] In What is Cultural Imperialism?402, Matti Sarmela, Former Professor of Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Helsinki from 1973 to 2000, and a founder and the first president of the Finnish Anthropological Society, describes the inner psychological and corporate workings of cultural imperialism. He draws an ideological profile of the cognitive and ideological factors that “go some way towards explaining the hegemony of western culture and the process that is leading to the establishment of a common world culture” of compulsive development, which has destroyed the ecological equilibrium of ethnic communities; as all cultures are blindly encouraged to blindly adopt their the dogma of compulsive development, as an alleged ‘superior cultural system’. He concludes that it is time for sociologists and cultural anthropologists to examine their roles in this dogma of ‘compulsive development’

4. The fragmentation of cultural identity

Cultural identity is the term commonly employed to describe

internalized cultural consciousness, identification with one's

own culture. In anthropology, cultural identity is most often

defined as identification with an ethnic group and its culture,

the communal spirit. With the disintegration of small

communities, it has become increasingly difficult to define

ethnic identity. Soviet scientists have coined the term 'ethno-

social organism' to describe the process of economic, social and

cultural change which takes place in particular historical

401 Carola Sandbacka (ed.) 13-36. Cultural Imperialism and Cultural Identity. Transactions of the Finnish Anthropolological Society 2. Helsinki 1977 (in Finnish 1975) 402 www.kotikone.fi/matti.sarmela/culturimperialism.pdf

146

circumstances within an ethnic community having a common 'ethno-

genesis' i.e. history. This historically fatalistic concept is

coolly scientific – as is the description of an ethnic community as an ecosystem. It takes no account of the way in which human

beings experience their own culture and the changes that take

place in it, nor questions the necessity or value from the human

point of view of change perpetrated in the name of development

and progress.

Cultural identity is perhaps generally understood to mean the

concept of reality held by a member of a particular culture, the

way in which he comprehends and motivates his own socio-cultural

existence. A vital part of cultural identification is therefore

the community's concept of the purpose or meaning of life around

which the individual organizes his own existence. In this respect

global cultural change has meant the disappearance of any

generally held concept of the meaning of life and the emergence

of numerous substitutes. The sense of regional identity has been

submerged in that of national identity, which was perhaps latent

anyway. More significantly, the individual has come to identify

himself with the culture represented by groups sharing the same

profession, interests or ideals. The pivotal point of cultural

existence for a member of an urban culture offering multifarious

possibilities and possessing multifarious values is a material or

ideological objective: a house or property of some other sort, a

professional career, a position of influence in a political or

religious group or in some other organization. A member of

industrialized society may identify himself with his objective,

provided that this seems sufficiently worthwhile in the long-term

and allows him to make full use of his potentialities. But for a

far greater number, who are just factory fodder, the meaning of

life lies in identification with the consumer society.

[..] Goal identity is identification with the illusions of the

creative, development-minded and forward-looking cultural

architects for whom work and achievement are the purpose of Life.

Or equally well compensatory alienation and escape from the

realities of monolithic culture.

Mass identity is identification with the industrial mass

production society as a consumer of the technological products of

a specialized metropolitan culture. The meaning of life is to be

found in egocentric, new experiences, in taking advantage of all

the technically maximal entertainments and stimuli offered by the

professionals: restaurants, sport, television, or so-called

creative hobbies and art-forms, or the new technological

challenges – parachuting, slalom and motor racing. Existential experiences provided by specialized departments of the welfare

state are the be-all and end-all of human existence.

5. The imperialism of the production process

Economic development today is dominated by supranational, world

trade organizations, common market federations between states,

147

and supranational or multinational giant enterprises. In the

market economy countries the development of monopolies, mergers

and the emergence of mammoth corporations is a fact; in the

language of the politics of commerce it is called integration or

the international division of labour. The cultural and ecological

changes that have taken place as a result of adaptation to world

trade in every country are self-evident:

1) The regional concentration of production, the emergence of

mammoth industrial areas.

2) The establishment of a metropolis-periphery relationship

between central and subsidiary industrial areas with all its

economic, social and cultural consequences (governmental and

cultural centralization).

3) Increasing specialization in production demanded by the

international division of labour.

4) Adaptation of the structure of production plants and sales

organizations to supranational marketing.

5) Product development and production planning determined by

international standards, standardization of cultural products.

6) Policy of a centralized labour force. The individual seeking

employment becomes the new nomad of the industrial society.

7) Death of small ethnic communities.

The nations of the world have been made to run on terms laid down

by industrial, urban employment and world trade, they have been

concentrated around standardized services, packed into the

endless rows of identical suburban and slum-land boxes. Modern

man is himself a mass product, the cheapest, most insignificant

and dispensable structural unit of a worldwide production

process. The continual intensification of technological growth is

a prerequisite of the functioning of political organizations; the

political ideologies of the world compete amongst themselves to

bring about scientific and technical development – on terms laid down by international trade. The international production process

has given birth to the mechanism of political, obligatory

development. The fate of the natural environment and of plant and

animal species threatened by the ever-expanding global production

process has become a subject of universal concern. Ethnic

cultures have come into being as a consequence of their isolation

and by a process of economic and ecological adaptation to their

regional environments; they are mutations just like the Galapagos

sparrows. But the market economy and the production process do

not only trample underfoot aboriginal cultures: every single

small regional community and traditional ethnic culture is

threatened by eco-catastrophe.

6. The imperialism of marketing mechanisms

The continued development of the industrialized countries is

dependent on marketing their culture in total. The further

148

production moves from the satisfaction of basic needs, the more

important become sales organizations, the creation of consumer

demand and the regulation of consumption. Cultural experts have

paid too little attention to the fact that the most efficiently

organized thing in the world is diffusion, and that it is the

marketing organizations – direct and indirect advertising,

newspapers and magazines, the entire worldwide awareness industry

– that create the framework of meaning in the modern folk

culture. Folk culture is merely the response of the people to

external, supranational, commercial and political influence and

regulation, a more or less uniform manifestation of mass

identity, in which national, ethnic and regional differences are

primarily reflected in terms of consumer potential, the unequal

distribution of economic resources over the world.

In the market economy culture everything that is produced must be

sold, the tools of culture, science, art, even man himself. The

cultural eco-system of the mass production society is only kept

going by marketing which is more important than the tools of

production, surplus and capital. The marketing mechanisms are

approaching scientific and economic perfection: marketing has not

for a long time meant the advertising and distribution of

individual products but integrated marketing in which the demands

of marketing influence the earliest stages of planning and

production down to the smallest detail. In a world becoming

economically unified the mechanisms of marketing are in their

turn becoming global:

1. Supranational marketing creates common illusions throughout

the world, the cultural values of the urban consumer

2. Marketing is the sale of the total technological way of life.

It would be cynical to deny that much else of the western way of

life is not introduced into other cultures along with western

technology. One cannot buy a transistor without also buying

western pop music, a television without advertising breaks,

gangster films and violence, a glossy magazine without

pornography. No part of western culture can be bought as an

isolated product, one machine requires another and thus one is

launched on the slippery slope of western consumption.

In non-technological cultures the mechanization of one phase of

production assumes the mechanization of the other phases and, in

order to function efficiently, every machine requires all the

rest of the related western technology. And when agricultural

production is automated then transport, storage and further

processing must also be automated. In the tough world of

international technology, formal speeches about gentle

development from a national base and individual choices are more

often than not empty rhetoric.

The marketing of western cultural development has created

supranational illusions of the metropolitan living-style: the

modern furnishings of the white European, his de luxe kitchens,

149

night clubs, yachts and sports cars. During the last decades

whole armies of writers and pen-pushers have sold a fairy-tale

urban world, have swooned in ecstasies of self-expression

describing the narrow-mindedness of small communities, the

tangled web of social relationships, social controls, the absence

of real stimulus. Man has been made to believe that in his little

urban box he can spend a more remarkable life than anywhere else

or ever before. There he can liberate himself entirely from

social relationships and social controls and devote his time

exclusively to himself and his own consumption.

[..] 9. The imperialism of the assessment of cultures

The super-culture has its own superior machinery for the

assessment of cultures. Just as individuals are assessed in terms

of intelligence quotients and capability scales, the nations of

the world are also assessed in terms of technocratic units of

measurement. Every aspect of a culture has its own quantitative

unit of measurement: 1) Those of development: gross national

product, volume of exports, industry index. 2) Those of

'happiness' i.e. the standard of living: how many material

possessions each person/household has. 3). Those of

'unhappiness': starvation, sickness, mortality. These cultural

statistics have become indispensable to western society as they

provide the scientific basis for social and economic planning.

Today their compilation is the responsibility of the World Bank.

Although these statistics are accepted as gospel and find their

way from encyclopaedias to school textbooks and the pages of the

weeklies, the basis on which they are compiled is not known and

their veracity is un-certifiable. The Eurocentric writing of

history is paralleled by the imperialism of western statistics.

In the assessment of cultures a simplistic scale is employed

which merely measures the extent of technological development. On

this basis small, self-supporting communities find themselves at

zero on the scale for they can produce no export figures, no

indices of urbanization – how in fact the gross national product is calculated at all in such communities is one of the mysteries

of western science. What these comparative statistics fail to

take into account is the other side of the coin: the increasing

class distinctions, crime, violence, the use of narcotics, the

sharp upward turn of the problems of social waste, which are an

integral part of super-development even in the Third World.

Western cultural statistics arrange the nations of the world in

an order of precedence that encourages the race for western

development and the creation of a material culture on western

lines. By means of statistics economic development is controlled

over the heads of national leaders, new needs are created for

entire nations, compulsive development is justified. The

statistics are complemented by the supranational bureaucracy even

by the United Nations' numerous agencies, which establish the

imperialism of starvation. The starving have their uses.

150

Starvation statistics demonstrate the necessity of the

supranational developmental bureaucracy and all the great and

small development directors that take it upon themselves to plan

a new global society. They demonstrate the necessity of mass

communications to supply information shocks. In the treatment by

the western media on the problems of the developing countries,

one can see the creation of a total lie, for economic

organizations have been seen in the role of charities, and

expansionist politics, economic re-colonization and the selling

of western technocracy have been seen as missionary work

euphemistically called development co-operation or development

aid. It should be more widely known that development aid in its

present form is only the real-politics of the industrialized

countries, whose aim is to guarantee new potential markets for

intensified production. There have always been people in the West

who have justified their right to make crusades to other cultures

and in the Eurocentric history of the west the subjugation of

peoples has only too often been seen as a deed of heroism.

Gross national product per capita is one of measures to order the

nations, cultures and life-styles of the world in order of

precedence as defined by the white man. Another equally common

method is to list nations according to how small a proportion of

their population works on the land or how large a proportion

lives in towns. A small self-sufficient agricultural village

cannot make a significant enough contribution to world trade to

figure in capitalist indices. What sort of civilization and

development is it that moves the greatest proportion of its

population into city slums in order to produce the cheapest

luxury goods, labour force, services, criminality and starvation?

Is it because in cities human beings provide their leaders with

development statistics? Why is it that in the statistical

comparison of cultures, no mention is made of those other figures

that describe the urban consumer culture, the statistics of

crime, violence and narcotics? Why are only trade volumes

measured? Why not the alienation and rootlessness of the slum

dweller or the real human consequences of mechanical conveyor-

belt work?

10. Compulsive development

[..] In non-technological countries western development is

considered the superior cultural system, which offers untold

riches to those that adapt themselves most quickly. In the

developing countries an international sub-culture has grown up

that has been nicknamed the International cocktail club and which

apes the western way of life. But western development is

indispensable to the bureaucrats who use it to construct the

machinery of power around themselves, to upstart national

politicians who flirt with international ideologies, to

scientists and artists who can set themselves up as geniuses

after the western model. Numerous developing countries are

governed by political and economic profiteers, who have stakes in

151

the industrial and commercial enterprises in their country, who

receive princely sums from investors, entrepreneurs and

importers. Corruption is the price to be paid by the west for the

expansion of its markets and the demise of ethnic cultures.

[183] Primitivism vs Liberal and Pseudo-Green Co-optation of Indigenous

Communities:

“It’s crazy when these outsiders come and teach us development. Is development possible by destroying the environment that

provides us food, water and dignity? You have to pay to take a

bath, for food, and even to drink water. In our land, we don’t have to buy water like you, and we can eat anywhere for free.” - Lodu Sikaka, Dongria Kondh

“Life expectancy now is around 60 to 65 years. Before it was 80 to 90 years. It’s because before [our access to our forest was restricted] we ate tubers, fruits, and other forest products,

whereas now the Soliga diet is bad.” – Madegowda, Soliga “You take us to be poor, but we’re not. We produce many kinds of grains with our own efforts, and we don’t need money.” – Baba Mahriya, Bhil

“We don’t want to go to the city and we don’t want to buy food. We get it free here.” – Malari Pusaka, Dongria Kondh

[184] Primitivist John Zerzan403 argues that the primary motive of the ‘left’ is to co-opt indigenous cultures into becoming industrialized cultures, where their members become workers and consumers in the industrialized retrace. The problem with the left, is their addiction to industrial progress, industrialization and domestication, and their cooptation of indigenous and non-industrialized cultures, on behalf of international corporations. Primitivists do not endorse industrialization or industrialization’s cooptation of indigenous cultures; whereas the left are fully engaged in the cooptation of indigenous people’s into becoming workers and consumers, and not to be indigenous agrarian and outside of industrialization. Primitivists perceive indigenous cultures as cultures which still have community face to face, and an authentic community and cultural life, in touch with the land. Primitivists believe we cannot all of a sudden become primitives and return to a relocalized and non-industrialized way of life, but overtime we can do so; and if we do not do so, the collapse of industrial civilization shall either exterminate us, or force us to do so.

[185] Not Primitive: Tribal people are not 'backwards', they haven't been 'left

behind'. They choose to live on their land, in their own ways404.

[185.1] Studies have shown that tribal people on their own land are some of the happiest in the world – the nomadic Maasai tribe were found to be just as happy as the world’s richest billionaires.

[185.2] Tribal peoples’ lives are not static, or ‘stuck in the past’ – they adopt new ideas and adapt to new situations just as we all do. We are all living in the 21st Century. It is simple prejudice that makes us think some peoples are ‘modern’ whilst others are ‘backwards’.

[185.3] This prejudice is used to justify displacing tribal peoples and pushing them into the ‘mainstream’ – on the assumption that ‘experts’ know what is best for them.

[185.4] A striking example of this was the argument that mining company Vedanta Resources used to defend the devastating impact that their mine would have on the lives of the Dongria Kondh. The Dongria are united against the mine, they distrust and reject Vedanta’s claim that the company will bring development. Instead the Dongria choose to live their own way of life on their land.

[185.5] A Vedanta spokesperson said: “‘As enlightened and privileged human beings, we should not try to keep the tribal and other backward people in a primitive, uncared-and-unprovided-for socio-economic environment.’

[185.6] Despite often being described as ‘primitive’ and ‘poor’, a study of the hunter-gatherer Jarawa tribe’s nutrition and health found that the Jarawa, who remain self-sufficient on their own land, have ‘optimum nutritional status’. They have a detailed knowledge of more than 150 plant and 350 animal species.

[185.7] However, their neighbours, the Great Andamanese, were brought into the ‘mainstream’ by the British and robbed of their land. They were decimated by disease and are now completely dependent on the government. Alcoholism and diseases such as TB are rife.

Pseudo-Multiculturalism: the ideal Egotist Consumptionism Ideology of

Multinational Capitalism:

“We Americans are apostles of the Fast World, the prophets of the free market and high priests of high tech. We want

‘enlargement’ of both our values and Pizza Huts. We want the world to follow our lead and become democratic and

capitalistic, with a Web site in every pot, a Pepsi on every

lip, Microsoft Windows in every computer and with everyone,

everywhere, pumping their own gas.”405 “…globalization has its own dominant culture, which is why it tends to be

homogenizing. Culturally speaking, globalization is largely,

though not entirely, the spread of Americanization – from Big 405 Thomas L. Friedman, ‘A Manifesto for the Fast World’, The New York Times Magazine, 28 March 1999.

153

Macs to Mickey Mouse – on a global scale.”406 - Thomas L

Friedman

[186] Globalization refers to the dominance of multinational corporations and the destruction of cultural identities.

[187] Marxist and Leninist theories of imperialism assumed that the quest for ever-expanding markets would in time compel nation-based capitalist economies to push against national boundaries in search of an international economic imperium. Whatever else has happened to the scientific predictions of Marxism, in this domain they have proved farsighted. All national economies are now vulnerable to the inroads of larger, transnational markets within which trade is free, currencies are convertible, access to banking is open, and contracts are enforceable under law. In Europe, Asia, Africa, the South Pacific, and the Americas such markets are eroding national sovereignty and giving rise to entities—international banks, trade associations, transnational lobbies like OPEC and Greenpeace, world news services like CNN and the BBC, and multinational corporations that increasingly lack a meaningful national identity—that neither reflect nor respect nationhood as an organizing or regulative principle.

“Cultural imperialism is used to (1) increase demand for

foreign goods; (2) depress growth within local industry; and,

(3) foster a consumerist mentality where the need to save is

overcome by the desire to emulate the foreign rich. Once such

a desire is instilled in this market, corporations (4) widen

and consolidate their market by investing in merchandising

facilities and sales promotion. Their goal of establishing of

preference for their goods in the local economy means that

they are involved in the international transmission of

values.” - Glendal P. Robinson, ‘A Mythic Perspective of Commodification on the World Wide Web’.

[188] Communist Philosopher and Economist Slavoy Zizek argues in Multiculturalism: The Cultural Logic of Multinational Capitalism407, that fake Multiculturalism, is the ideal Egotist Consumptionism cultural logic of Multinational Capitalism, intent on colonizing all cultures into slaves to Egotist Consumptionism. Multinational Corporations wish to colonize all nations and their cultures, turning all culture’s primary cultural value into that of an egotist consumer, for the profits of multinational corporations.

Multiculturalism: How, then, does the universe of Capital relate

to the form of Nation State in our era of global capitalism?

Perhaps, this relationship is best designated as ‘auto- 406 Friedman, The Lexus and the Olive Tree (New York, 1999), 8. 407 Slavoj Žižek: Multiculturalism or the cultural logic of multinational capitalism, in: Razpol 10 - glasilo Freudovskega polja, Ljubljana 1997 http://www.soc.aau.dk/fileadmin/user_upload/kbm/VoF/ Kurser/2011/Multiculturalism/slavoj_zizek-multiculturalism-or-the-cultural-logic-of-multinational-capitalism.pdf

154

colonization’: with the direct multinational functioning of Capital, we are no longer dealing with the standard opposition

between metropolis and colonized countries; a global company as

it were cuts its umbilical cord with its mother-nation and treats

its country of origins as simply another territory to be

colonized. This is what disturbs so much the patriotically

oriented right-wing populists, from Le Pen to Buchanan: the fact

that the new multinationals have towards the French or American

local population exactly the same attitude as towards the

population of Mexico, Brazil or Taiwan. Is there not a kind of

poetic justice in this self-referential turn? Today’s global capitalism is thus again a kind of ‘negation of negation’, after national capitalism and its internationalist/colonialist phase.

At the beginning (ideally, of course), there is capitalism within

the confines of a Nation-State, with the accompanying

international trade (exchange between sovereign Nation-States);

what follows is the relationship of colonization in which the

colonizing country subordinates and exploits (economically,

politically, culturally) the colonized country; the final moment

of this process is the paradox of colonization in which there are

only colonies, no colonizing countries—the colonizing power is no longer a Nation-State but directly the global company. In the

long term, we shall all not only wear Banana Republic shirts but

also live in banana republics.

And, of course, the ideal form of ideology of this global

capitalism is multiculturalism, the attitude which, from a kind

of empty global position, treats each local culture the way the

colonizer treats colonized people—as ‘natives’ whose mores are to be carefully studied and ‘respected’. That is to say, the

relationship between traditional imperialist colonialism and

global capitalist self-colonization is exactly the same as the

relationship between Western cultural imperialism and

multiculturalism: in the same way that global capitalism involves

the paradox of colonization without the colonizing Nation-State

metropole, multiculturalism involves patronizing Eurocentrist

distance and/or respect for local cultures without roots in one’s own particular culture. In other words, multiculturalism is a

disavowed, inverted, self-referential form of racism, a ‘racism with a distance’—it ‘respects’ the Other’s identity, conceiving the Other as a self-enclosed ‘authentic’ community towards which he, the multiculturalist, maintains a distance rendered possible

by his privileged universal position.

Multiculturalism is a racism which empties its own position of

all positive content (the multiculturalist is not a direct

racist, he doesn’t oppose to the Other the particular values of his own culture), but nonetheless retains this position as the

privileged empty point of universality from which one is able to

appreciate (and depreciate) properly other particular cultures—the multiculturalist respect for the Other’s specificity is the very form of asserting one’s own superiority.

155

[189] In Constant Conflict408, Lt. Col. Ralph Peters effectively agrees with Zizek:

[..] Contemporary American culture is the most powerful in

history, and the most destructive of competitor cultures. While

some other cultures, such as those of East Asia, appear strong

enough to survive the onslaught by adaptive behaviors, most are

not. The genius, the secret weapon, of American culture is the

essence that the elites despise: ours is the first genuine

people's culture. It stresses comfort and convenience--ease--and

it generates pleasure for the masses. We are Karl Marx's dream,

and his nightmare.

[..] Our military power is culturally based. They cannot rival us

without becoming us. .. [..] In the meantime, the average

American can look forward to a longer life-span, a secure

retirement, and free membership in the most triumphant culture in

history. For the majority of our citizens, our vulgar, near-

chaotic, marvelous culture is the greatest engine of positive

change in history. .[..] .. It remains difficult, of course, for

military leaders to conceive of warfare, informational or

otherwise, in such broad terms. But Hollywood is "preparing the

battlefield," and burgers precede bullets. The flag follows

trade. .. [..] .. Our unconscious alliance of culture with

killing power is a combat multiplier no government, including our

own, could design or afford. We are magic. And we're going to

keep it that way. ..[..] Culture is fate. Countries, clans,

military services, and individual soldiers are products of their

respective cultures, and they are either empowered or imprisoned.

The majority of the world's inhabitants are prisoners of their

cultures, and they will rage against inadequacies they cannot

admit, cannot bear, and cannot escape.

A Brief History of Consumptionism: Consumption Vanity Disorder:

“Whether the [population and/or economic] growth is smart [capitalism] or dumb [communism], the growth destroys the

environment. "Growth management" is a favorite term used by

planners and politicians. With planning, smart growth will

destroy the environment, but it will do it in a sensitive way.

It's like buying a ticket on the Titanic. You can be smart and go

first class, or you can be dumb and go steerage. In both cases,

the result is the same. But given the choice, most people would

go first class.” – Al Bartlett, Reflections on Sustainability, Population Growth, and the Environment409

"We must shift America from a needs to a desires culture. People

must be trained to desire. To want new things even before the old

have been entirely consumed. We must shape a new mentality in

America." - Paul Mazer

“Cultural Capitalism: where the very act of egotist consumption, already includes the price for its opposite.” – Slavoy Zizek

“[A ‘throwaway’ society’ means] more than just throwing away produced goods (creating a monumental waste-disposal problem),

but also being able to throw away values, life-styles, stable

relationships, and attachments to things, buildings, places,

people, and received ways of doing and being… individuals were forced to cope with disposability, novelty and the prospects for

instant obsolescence.”410 – David Harvey

[190] Consumption-Vanity Disorder411 is a disease spread not through a mutating virus or genetic predisposition – but through cultural “Memes” – turning the world into a reflection of the advertising images broadcast daily by 90% of all media - a world of mini-malls, fashion obsessions, fake tits and belligerent gadgetry.

[191] 1924: Samuel Strauss: Consumptionism: science of compelling men to use

more and more things: Samuel Strauss was a journalist and philosopher writing in the 1920s. The November 1924 issue of The Atlantic Monthly carried Strauss' signature essay, "'Things Are in the Saddle.'" Following nineteenth century American transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson, whose ode he quotes, Strauss contemplates the empire of "things" and the ethics of "consumptionism" he felt had overtaken the country. He defines "consumptionism" as "the science of compelling men to use more and more things."

[192] Strauss was of the opinion that, despite their differences, both capitalism and socialism were moving society in the same damnable direction, in a competition to see "which can ensure the distribution of the most goods to the people."

[193] Samuel Strauss suggested the term consumptionism to characterize this new way of life that, he said, created a person with “a philosophy of life that committed human beings to the production of more and more things—“more this year than last year, more next year than this”—and that emphasized the “standard of living” above all other values.

[194] 1929: Keep the Consumer Dissatisfied - Charles Kettering, General

Motors Research Director, in Nations Business: Charles Kettering wrote that: “We hear people complaining because of new models in automobiles. If it were not for these new models these same people would be paying more for what they have. Recognition of the fact that progress is inevitable forces us to recognize that we must have improvements in motor cars. We, as manufacturers, must offer those improvements after they have been found to be capable improvements. The public buys and disposes of what it has. The fact that it is able to dispose of what it has enables us, as producers, to put a lower price tag on the new model. The law of economy in mass 410 David Harvey, The Condition of Post-modernity: An Enquiry into the Origins of Cultural Change (Oxford, 1989), 411 Consumption Vanity Disorder: http://youtu.be/iKkEjl-RSfc

production enters here. We are permitted to turn out cars in volume because there is a market for them. If automobile owners could not dispose of their cars to a lower buying strata they would have to wear out their cars with a consequent tremendous cutting in the yearly demand for automobiles, a certain increase in production costs, and the natural passing along of these costs to the buyer. If everyone were satisfied, no one would buy the new thing because no one would want it. The ore wouldn't be mined; timber wouldn't be cut. Almost immediately hard times would be upon us.”

[195] In The Century of the Self, Adam Curtis‘ BBC documentary documents how Edward Bernays412, the father of "Public Relations"413, developed public relations, by using his Uncle Sigmund Freud‘s discoveries concerning the unconscious "primitive sexual and aggressive forces"414, to change the focus of advertising from the facts of a product415, to implying the product would fulfill the individuals psychological/sexual insecurities416 (Insecurity about small penis: purchase a large car417; Female penis envy insecurity: start smoking418). "Public Relations‘ worked to psychologically engineer and manipulate citizens into the "All Consuming Self": the illusionary belief the power is finally in their hands, they live in a "democracy"419; they are in charge420, while their sense of identity is subconsciously manipulated from citizen (individual authority/inner power of personal decision-making) to consumer (empty vessel addicted to consumption of external ideas and products for sense of identity and acceptance421), fueling the growth of the "Freedom is Debt-Slavery" mass-consumer society422.

[196] Cultural Capitalism’s Egotist Consumption: Where the very act of egotist consumption, already includes the price for its opposite:

[197] In First as Tragedy, then as Farce423, Communist Philosopher and Economist Slavoj Zizek shares his perspective on the problems of ‘Ethical Consumption’: “Like Soros, in the morning he grabs the money; in the afternoon, he gives half of the money back to charity. In today's capitalism, more and more the tendency is to bring this tendency together. So when you buy something, your anti-consumerist duty is to do something for others, for the environment and so on, is already included in the price.

Through our Starbucks Shared Planet Program we purchase more fair trade coffee than anyone in the world, ensuring that the farmers who grow the coffee beans receive a fair price for their hard work.......” Its a good coffee karma. This is cultural capitalism at its purist. You don't just buy a coffee. In the very consumerist act, you buy your redemption from only being a consumerist. You do something for the environment, you do something for starving children in Guatamala. ..... For every act of consumerism, within the price you pay, you purchase your redemption. This generates almost a kind of semantic over investment or burden. Its not just buying a cup of coffee, you are fulfilling a whole series of ethical duties. This logic today is almost universalized. Why? It makes you feel warm, it makes you feel like you are doing something for … My point is that, this very interesting short circuit, where the very act of egotist consumption, already includes the price for its opposite.”

[198] He proceeds to quote: Oscar Wilde, The Soul of Man under Socialism: “It is much more easy to have sympathy with suffering, than it is to have sympathy with thought. People find themselves surrounded by hideous poverty, ugliness, and starvation. It is inevitable they would be strongly moved by this. Accordingly with admirable, but misdirected intentions, they very sentimentally set themselves the task of remedying the problems they see. But their remedies do not cure the disease, they merely prolong it. Indeed, they are part of the disease. They try to solve the problem of poverty, by keeping the poor alive, or in the case of an advanced school, by amusing the poor. But this is not a solution, it is an aggravation of the difficulty. The proper aim is to reconstruct society on such a basis that poverty will be impossible. It is the altruistic virtues which have prevented the carrying out of this aim. The worst slave owners were those who were kind to their slaves. In doing so they prevented the core of the system to be realized by those who suffered from it, and understood by those who contemplated it. Charity degrades and demoralizes.”

Economic Growth, Climate Change & National Security Threats:

[199] GDP/Economic Growth and energy consumption’s aggravating/threat multiplier ‘heat engine’ relationship to the national security threat of

climate change (CO2 emissions):

[200] Energy consumption is the foundation of industrial development; since energy

use is equivalent to development. A country’s development is a symptom of its energy consumption. The rate of energy consumption and increase in carbon

dioxide emissions are virtually identical and have grown exponentially over the last

40 years. Increased efficiency leads to more energy use.

159

ARE economist David Roland-Holst’s chart – which one of his student’s calls his ‘demonic bubble bath’ – shows the tight relationship between energy use and prosperity, a key climate change issue. Based on World Bank and International Energy Agency data, the vertical axis plots per capita energy use in terajoules/year; the horizontal is per capita income as measured by the GDP. Bubble sizes represent population.

[201] Since the earth’s non-renewable resources are finite, and its renewable

resources can only be exploited on a finite level equivalent to carrying capacity

regeneration; this trend cannot continue.

[202] P. F. Henshaw (10/17/09): Jevons' Effect and why improving technology

efficiency multiplies energy consumption424.

Energy efficiency improvements and energy use have both been

increasing steadily growing rates. So improving economic

efficiency apparently enables the creation of more new energy

uses than energy savings. The net effect is to increase the rate

of resource depletion. - (fig 1)

424 http://www.synapse9.com/pub/EffMultiplies.htm

160

Consequently, efficiency improvement results in 2.5 times more

energy uses than energy savings, consistent with the observations

of Jevons in 1885. (fig 1)

Equally surprising, CO2 is being produced at the same increasing

rate as total energy use, so new clean energy sources are not

replacing any fossil fuel use, only adding enough to keep the

same proportion of clean energy in the mix as in 1971. (fig 1)

The rate of energy use and carbon dioxide emissions are virtually

identical and have grown exponentially over the last 40 years.

The impact of large dams and nuclear power plants has been barely

visible, and disappeared by 2007.

The renewable energy sources, wind turbines, biomass

cogeneration, and biofuels (photovoltaic panel area is too small

to be relevant), are barely keeping up with the deforestation and

general paving of the world.

Increased efficiency leads to more energy use and the ratio of

the slopes has remained constant (3.7) over the last 40 years.

Thus, just as Stanley Javons predicted, higher efficiency leads

to more energy use which leads to still higher efficiency.

Since the Earth is finite, this trend cannot continue and the

current global economy must break down. There is nothing we can

do about it, unless we fundamentally change, and the approach to

breakdown is exponential. I spoke more on this subject in Paper

prepared for the 20th Round Table on Sustainable Development of

Biofuels: Is the Cure Worse than the Disease?: How Can We Outlive

For example, the expected period of doubling of global energy

consumption is 34-37 years. Since this doubling is impossible,

economy as we know it today will cease to exist within the next

design and evolution in nature429 (PDF430); Royal Society.

To summarize, all the high-temperature heating that comes from

burning fuel (QH or the energy associated with QH and the high

temperature of combustion; cf. Bejan 2006) is dissipated into the

environment. The need for higher efficiencies in power generation

(greater W/QH) is the same as the need to have more W, i.e. the

need to move more weight over larger distances on the surface of

the Earth, which is the natural phenomenon (tendency) summarized

in the constructal law.

At the end of the day, when all the fuel has been burned, and all

the food has been eaten, this is what animate flow systems have

achieved. They have moved mass on the surface of the Earth (they

have ‘mixed’ the Earth’s crust) more than in the absence of animate flow systems. The moving animal or vehicle is equivalent

to an engine connected to a brake (figure 4), first proposed by

Bejan & Paynter (1976) and Bejan (1982, 2006).

The power generated by muscles and motors is ultimately and

necessarily dissipated by rubbing against the environment. There

is no taker for the W produced by the animal and vehicle. This is

TRAGEDY OF THE COMMONS CONSEQUENCES:

SS-DEFCON 3: ECOLOGICAL OVERSHOOT

“If you really think the environment is less important than economy try holding your breath while counting your money.” - Dr. Guy McPherson.

“Within this culture wealth is measured by one's ability to consume and destroy.” ― Derrick Jensen, Endgame, Vol. 1: The Problem of Civilization

“There is something fundamentally wrong in treating the earth as if it was a business in liquidation.” - Herman Daly, Earth in the Balance

“Mining is like a search-and-destroy mission.” - Stewart Udall, former US secretary of the Interior

“You treasure most what you have lost. In Europe, unspoilt wilderness is very rare, hence people are more interested in

preservation than people in the American West, which have not yet

lost it.” - Steen Hansen Hviid

[209] The Tragedy of the Commons is an ecological concept that refers to the depletion of a shared resource by individuals, acting independently and rationally according to each one's self-interest, despite their understanding that depleting the common resource is contrary to their long-term best interests. Ecologist Garrett Hardin famously explored this social dilemma in “The Tragedy of the Commons”.437 Hardin concluded that in the absence of restricting the consequences of the ‘tragedy of the commons’, by reducing the rights to consumption and procreation, to below carrying capacity limits, they would eventually be restricted by nuclear war.

[210] Social Trap is a term used by psychologists to describe a situation in which a group of people act to obtain short-term individual gains, which in the long run leads to a loss for the group as a whole; such as for example overfishing, energy "brownout" and "blackout" power outages during periods of extreme temperatures, overgrazing on the Sahelian Desert, and the destruction of the rainforest by logging interests and agriculture. Social fence refers to a short-term avoidance behavior by individuals that leads to a long-term loss to the entire group.

[211] For a culture to avoid the Tragedy of the Commons consequences, they must establish a system whereby the individuals who choose to cheat to exploit the commons

437 Hardin, G (1968/12/13)

(in Ishmael language: the ‘takers’) by breeding and/or consuming above ecological carrying capacity limits, are easily exposed, and given the opportunity to follow their social trap behaviour, by removing their genes from the genepool. In the absence of eliminating the cheater takers from the genepool; the overbreeding social trap behaviour of the ‘takers’, will overpopulate the ‘leavers’ (living in harmony with the commons), eventually forcing the ‘leavers’ to either become takers to survive; or to over consume natural capital to convert to economic and military capital for the purpose of protecting themselves and property from the overbreeding cheaters.

[212] Hardin concluded that in the absence of restricting the over breeding and consuming consequences of the ‘tragedy of the commons’, by restricting citizens to breeding and consuming below carrying capacity limits, those behaviours would eventually be restricted by nuclear war.

[215] Drivers of Planetary Changes:

[216] Demographics and Consumption above Carrying Capacity Limits: Over the past two centuries, both the human population and the economic wealth of the world have grown rapidly. These two factors have increased resource consumption significantly, registered in agriculture and food production, forestry, industrial development, transport and international commerce, energy production, urbanisation and even recreational activities.

[217] In the developed world, affluence, and more importantly the demand for a broad range of goods and services such as entertainment, mobility, and communication, is placing significant demands on global resources. Between 1970 and 1997, the global consumption of energy increased by 84%, and consumption of materials also increased dramatically. While the global population more than doubled in the second half of the last century, grain production tripled, energy consumption quadrupled, and economic activity quintupled. Although much of this accelerating economic activity and energy

consumption occurred in developed countries, the developing world is beginning to play a larger role in the global economy and hence is having increasing impacts on resources and environment.

Planetary Boundaries: A Safe Operating Space for Humanity:

[218] The Earth system responds in complex ways to external forces. The most obvious external force is the energy from the sun, which changes over time. On timescales of hundreds of thousands of years, the Earth’s position relative to the sun alters slightly, changing the amount of energy we receive. The Earth system responds to this external force by cycling between ice ages and warm periods in a regular pattern.

After the last ice age, which finished 12,000 years ago, the Earth system settled into a

relatively stable warm period that has allowed human society to grow and develop,

eventually becoming a global force. Without significant external interference, this

period would have likely persisted for several thousand years to come.

[219] In 2009, researchers (Rockstrom, 2009452) made the first attempt to define planetary boundaries associated with thresholds or tipping points in the Earth system that threaten the current state. They identified nine interconnected boundaries. Ensuring these boundaries are respected, the authors argue, will reduce the risk of crossing dangerous thresholds that push the Earth system into a new state. But the authors also state that human activity has already driven the Earth system across three boundaries: climate, biodiversity loss and nitrogen use¹.

SS-DEFCON 3: Ecological Overshoot Jurisprudence

“Surely by now there can be few here who still believe the purpose of government is to protect us from the destructive

activities of corporations. At last most of us must understand

that the opposite is true: that the primary purpose of government

is to protect those who run the economy from the outrage of

injured citizens.” ― Derrick Jensen, Endgame, Vol. 1: The Problem of Civilization

[220] SS DEFCON 3: Ecological Overshoot (PDF453), documents detailed evidence for

the following facts, should any of the facts be disputed:

with finite resources, that wishes to avoid ecological overshoot, and the scarcity conflict

or consumption from transgressing cultural carrying capacity.

[223] Fact #3: Civilized Patriarchy’s Legal Matrix constitutions enable the licensing of numerous behaviours, but avoid licences limiting procreation and consumption to

below carrying capacity levels to avoid ecological overshoot, and the scarcity-conflict

consequences of overshoot.

[224] Fact #4: Legislation which intentionally limits procreation and consumption to

below a specific identified – footprint, population density, thermodynamic or biological

– carrying capacity levels is intentionally focussed on Sustainable Peaceful Procreation,

Consumption and Production; whereas legislation which intentionally avoids limiting

procreation and consumption to any reference of carrying capacity levels is

intentionally focussed on Unsustainable Scarcity-Conflict Procreation, Consumption

and Production.

[225] Fact #5: The worlds civilized patriarchy Legal Matrix constitutions argue – by

omission – that the earth is flat, resources are infinite and that citizens have a ‘god given’ right to procreate and consume, with (a) total disregard for ecological principles of ecological overshoot of carrying capacity limits; and (b) total unaccountability for the

scarcity-conflict consequences of their breeding and consuming above carrying capacity

choices.

SS-DEFCON 2:

SCARCITY – CONFLICT DEATH SPIRAL

Nitrogen Cycle - Dead Zones:

The number of observed “dead zones”, coastal sea areas where water oxygen levels have dropped too low to support most marine life, has roughly doubled each decade since the 1960s. Many are concentrated near the estuaries of major rivers, and result from the buildup of nutrients, largely carried from inland agricultural areas where fertilizers are washed into watercourses. The nutrients promote the growth of algae that die and decompose on the seabed, depleting the water of oxygen and threatening fisheries, livelihoods and tourism.466

[228] Human population growth and per-capita consumption rate underlie all of the

other present drivers of global change. As a result of human activities, direct local-scale

forcings have accumulated to the extent that indirect, global-scale forcings of biological

change have now emerged. Direct forcing includes the conversion of ~43% of Earth’s land to agricultural or urban landscapes, with much of the remaining natural

landscapes networked with roads. This exceeds the physical transformation that

occurred at the last global-scale critical transition, when ~30% of Earth’s surface went from being covered by glacial ice to being ice free.

the absence of an effective global mitigation effort, governments

generations and of nature, tracking toward one of the greatest

mass extinction events nature has seen. It is time we learned

[229] A major report, the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment470, released in March 2005

highlighted a substantial and largely irreversible loss in the diversity of life on

Earth471, with some 10-30% of the mammal, bird and amphibian species threatened

with extinction, due to human actions.

[230] The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) notes in a video472 that many species are threatened with extinction. In addition, at threat of extinction are: (i) 1 out of 8 birds; (ii) 1 out of 4 mammals; (iii) 1 out of 4 conifers; (iv) 1 out of 3 amphibians; (v) 6 out of 7 marine turtles; (vi) 75% of genetic diversity of agricultural crops has been lost; (vii) 75% of the world’s fisheries are fully or over exploited; (viii) Up to 70% of the world’s known species risk extinction if the global temperatures rise by more than 3.5°C; (ix) 1/3rd of reef-building corals around the world are threatened with extinction; (x) Over 350 million people suffer from severe water scarcity.

[231] The third Global Biodiversity Outlook (GBO-3) published by the Convention on

Biological Diversity (CBD) warns that the worlds eco-systems are at risk of “rapid degradation and collapse”, unless "swift, radical and creative action" is taken "massive further loss is increasingly likely."

[232] Global Biodiversity Outlook 3 defines a tipping point as a situation in which an

ecosystem experiences a shift to a new state, with significant changes to biodiversity

and the services to people it underpins, at a regional or global scale.

[233] Several eco-systems including the Amazon rainforest, freshwater lakes and rivers

and coral reefs are approaching a "tipping point" which, if reached, may see them never

recover. With more than 30 per cent of the Earth's land surface used for agricultural

production, some natural habitats have been shrinking by more than 20 per cent since

the 1980s. The world lost over 100 million hectares of forest from 2000 to 2005, and has

lost 20 per cent of its sea grass and mangrove habitats since 1970 and 1980

respectively. In some regions, 95 per cent of wetlands have been lost. Two-thirds of the

world's largest rivers are now moderately to severely fragmented by dams and

reservoirs. Vertebrate populations have declined on average by 30 per cent since 1970;

around 20 per cent of vertebrate species are now under threat. The extinction risk is

increasing faster for corals than for any other group of living organisms, with the

condition of coral reefs declining by 38 per cent since 1980. Vertebrate species fell by

nearly one third between 1970 and 2006, natural habitats are in decline, genetic

diversity of crops is falling and sixty breeds of livestock have become extinct since

2000.

The mounting pressures on biodiversity risks pushing some ecosystems into new states, with severe ramifications for human wellbeing as tipping points are crossed. While the precise location of tipping points is difficult to determine, once an ecosystem moves into a new state it can be very difficult, if not impossible, to return it to its former state.

[234] Nick Nuttall, a U.N. Environmental Program spokesman, said the cost of eco-

systems degradation is huge: "In terms of land-use change, it's thought that the annual

financial loss of services eco-systems provide -- water, storing carbon and soil

stabilization -- is about €50 billion ($64 billion) a year. If this continues we may well see by 2050 a cumulative loss of what you might call land-based natural capital of

around €95 trillion ($121 trillion). If we start putting these figures on the table, then

governments might actually wake up to this. We've had a financial crisis. We've also

got a natural resource scarcity crisis looming fast."

Peak Non-Renewable Natural Resources Tipping Point: Scarcity:

[235] AnthroCorpocentric473 Flat Earth Society474 Jurisprudence views the world from a

firmly entrenched inaccurate Anthropocentric (human-centred) perspective, where

there is always a brighter future, because the implicit assumption of our

Anthropocentric political, economic and legal worldview is that there will always be

“enough” Non Renewable Natural Resources (NNR‘s) to enable a brighter future, and all politics and economics needs to concern itself with, is how to use these NNR‘s to provide ever improving material living standards for our ever-expanding global

population475. From a broader Ecocentric476 Finite Resource Scarcity perspective,

beyond Peak NNR477, there is no hope for a brighter future, the future is one of

depletion, austerity, resource wars & socio-economic and political collapse;478 because

the fundamental assumption of ever-increasing NNR‘s, underlying our limited AnthroCorpocentric jurisprudence perspective is inaccurate.479

[236] NNR’s which have peaked and in decline ‘at risk’ – i.e. years to global exhaustion

of reserves – are: (a) Antimony: 8 yrs (used for starter lights ignition batteries in cars

and trucks; (b) Bauxite: 40 years (only economically viable feedstock for aluminium); (c)

Bismuth: 17 years (non-toxic substitute for lead in solder and plumbing fixtures); (d) 473 Clugston (2012) (p.127): “The AnthroCorpocentric perspective considers the philosophy, processes, and activities by which natural resource inputs to a society‘s economy are converted into goods and services outputs (wealth creation). It also considers the philosophy, processes, and activities by which goods and services (wealth) are allocated among a society‘s population. The fundamental assumption underlying the prevailing AnthroCorpocentric perspective is that notwithstanding periodic temporary shortfalls, natural resource inputs and natural habitat waste absorption capacities will remain sufficient to perpetuate global industrialism indefinitely.‘ – Scarcity, Clugston Chris (pg. 127) 474 Bartlett (1993) (1996/09) (1999/01) (2002); Hardin (1999); 475 Hardin (1985); Bartlett (2006/09); Guillebaud (2007); Leahy (2003) 476 “The ecological perspective considers natural resource inputs and natural habitat waste absorption capacities as the ultimate limiting factors governing a society‘s economic/political processes and activities, its attainable economic output (GDP) level, and its attainable level of societal wellbeing—i.e., the material living standards enjoyed by the society‘s population.” – Scarcity, Clugston C (127) 477 Bartlett (2006/09); Clugston (2012): Peak NNR: “NNRs are finite; and as their name implies, NNR reserves are not replenished on a time scale that is relevant to humans. More unfortunately, economically viable supplies associated with the vast majority of NNRs that enable our industrialized way of life are becoming increasingly scarce, both domestically (US) and globally. While there will always be ―plenty of NNR’s in the ground, there will not always be ―plenty of economically viable NNR’s in the ground. In fact, there are ―no longer enough economically viable NNR’s in the ground to enable continuous improvement in human societal wellbeing at historical rates.” –Clugston, C: Scarcity 478 Scarcity (p.4) 479 Clugston Chris: Scarcity: Humanity‘s Final Chapter: The realities, choices and likely outcomes associated with ever-increasing non-renewable natural resource scarcity, page 4

[237] Peak Oil is the end of cheap oil, it is the point where every barrel of oil is

harder to find, more expensive to extract, and more valuable to whoever owns or

controls it. As early as 2000, geological experts warned Peak Oil would occur

sometime between 2000 and 2007480. Cheap oil is the oxygen of the “economic growth”481 global economic system and industrial food production482.

Scarcity: Overview:

[238] Scarcity: Humanity’s Final Chapter?483; is an overview of Chris Clugston Domestic

(US) & Global NNR Scarcity based upon his analysis of the criticality and scarcity

associated with each of the 89 analyzed NNRs, using data from USGS, EIA, BEA, BLS,

Fed, CBO, FBI, IEA, UN, World Bank, etc; and concludes in general that “absent some combination of immediate and drastic reductions in our global NNR utilization levels,

... we will experience escalating international and intranational conflicts during the

coming decades over increasingly scarce NNR‘s, which will devolve into global societal collapse, almost certainly by the year 2050.”484

[239] Scarcity’s Global NNR Scarcity Analysis (pg.51-59) (pg 41-49485) summarizes

global criticality and scarcity associated with each of the 89 analyzed NNR’s: (a) An 480 On February 11, 2006 Deffeyes claimed world oil production peaked on December 16, 2005 481 Deffeyes (2006): "The economists all think that if you show up at the cashier's cage with enough currency, God will put more oil in ground." 482 Ruppert (2004): p.24: ―We eat oil.

Scarcity is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary assessment of the realities, choices, and likely outcomes associated with ever-increasing non-renewable natural resource (NNR) scarcity. NNRs are the fossil fuels, metals, and non-metallic minerals that enable our industrialized existence. 484 Clugston, C: Scarcity: Preface, pg. ix 485 issuu.com/js-ror/docs/clugston_scarcity_pg31-55

[241] Scarcity concludes “Our Next Normal is Catastrophe”: Our AnthroCorpocentric worldview does not recognize that “from a broader ecological perspective, all human economics and politics are irrelevant,” to “paraphrase Thoreau, we are ‘thrashing at the economic and political branches of our predicament, rather than hacking at the

ecological root.’”486

[242] “Because the underlying cause associated with our transition from prosperity to austerity is ecological (geological), not economic or political, our incessant barrage of

economic and political “fixes” are misguided and inconsequential. Our national economies are not “broken”; they are “dying of slow starvation” for lack of sufficient economically viable NNR inputs.

486 Clugston, C: Scarcity: Preface, pg. 103-104

180

[243] “Our industrial lifestyle paradigm, which is enabled by enormous quantities of

finite, non-replenishing, and increasingly scarce NNRs, is unsustainable, i.e. physically

impossible – going forward.487

[244] “Global humanity‘s steadily deteriorating condition will culminate in self-inflicted

global societal collapse, almost certainly by the year 2050. We will not accept gracefully

our new normal of ever-increasing, geologically-imposed austerity; nor will we suffer

voluntarily the horrifically painful population level reductions and material living

standard degradation associated with our inevitable transition to a sustainable, pre-

industrial lifestyle paradigm.

[245] “All industrialized and industrializing nations, irrespective of their economic and political orientations, are unsustainable and will collapse in the not-too-distant future

as a consequence of their dependence upon increasingly scarce NNRs.

[246] We can voluntarily reduce population and consumption, or NNR scarcity depletion

will force it upon us, in our inevitable transition to a sustainable, pre-industrial

lifestyle paradigm.

Natural Resources and Human Evolution:

[247] During the past 2+ million years, humanity—Homo sapiens and our hominid

predecessors—evolved through three major lifestyle paradigms: hunter-gatherer,

agrarian, and industrial.

[247.1] Each of the three paradigms is readily distinguishable from the other two in

terms of its worldview, natural resource utilization behavior, and resulting level of

societal wellbeing—i.e., attainable population levels and material living standards.

The Hunter-Gatherer Lifestyle Paradigm:

[248] The hunter-gatherer (HG) lifestyle paradigm spanned over 2 million years, from

the time that our hominid ancestors first stood erect on the continent of Africa to

approximately 8,000 BC. HG societies consisted of small nomadic clans, typically

numbering between 50 and 100 individuals, who subsisted primarily on naturally

occurring vegetation and wildlife.

[249] The HG lifestyle can best be described as subsistence living for a relatively

constant population that probably never exceeded 5 million globally. Hunter-gatherers

produced few manmade goods beyond the necessities required for their immediate

survival, and they generated no appreciable wealth surplus.

487 Clugston, C: Scarcity: Preface, pg. 103-104

181

[250] The HG worldview revered Nature as the provider of life and subsistence, a

perspective that fostered a passive lifestyle orientation through which hunter-

gatherers sought to live—albeit somewhat exploitatively—within the environmental

context defined by Nature. The HG resource mix consisted almost entirely of renewable

natural resources such as water and naturally occurring edible plant life and wildlife.

The Agrarian Lifestyle Paradigm:

[251] The agrarian lifestyle paradigm commenced in approximately 8,000 BC and lasted

until approximately 1700 AD, when England initiated what was to become the

industrial revolution.

[252] Agrarian societies existed primarily by raising cultivated crops and domesticated

livestock.

[253] The agrarian worldview perceived Nature as something to be augmented through

human effort, by domesticating naturally occurring plant and animal species. The

agrarian lifestyle orientation was proactive in the sense that it sought to improve upon

what Nature provided.

[254] While modest wealth surpluses were sometimes generated by agrarian

populations, agrarian existence typically offered little more in the way of material

living standards for the vast majority of agrarian populations than did the HG

182

lifestyle—although the global agrarian population did increase significantly, reaching

nearly 800 million by 1750 AD.

[255] The agrarian resource mix consisted primarily of RNRs, which were increasingly

overexploited by ever-expanding, permanently-settled agrarian populations. As

agrarian cultivation and grazing practices became increasingly intensive, renewable

natural resource reserves were increasingly depleted and natural habitats were

increasingly degraded as well.

The Industrial Lifestyle Paradigm:

[256] The inception of the industrial lifestyle paradigm occurred with England’s industrial revolution in the early 18th century, less than 300 years ago.

[257] Today, over 1.5 billion people—approximately 22% of the world’s 6.9 billion total population—is considered “industrialized”; and nearly three times that many people actively aspire to an industrialized way of life.

[258] Our industrialized world is characterized by an incomprehensibly complex mosaic

of interdependent yet independently operating human and non-human entities and

infrastructure.

[259] These entities must function continuously, efficiently, and collectively at the local,

regional, national, and global levels in order to convert natural resource inputs into the

myriad goods and services that enable our modern industrial way of life.

[260] [Note that failures within the industrial mosaic can disrupt, temporarily or

permanently, the flow of societal essentials—water, food, energy, shelter, and

clothing—to broad segments of our global population.]

[261] Tremendous wealth surpluses are typically generated by industrialized societies;

such wealth surpluses are actually required to enable the historically unprecedented

material living standards enjoyed by increasingly large segments of ever-expanding

industrialized populations.

[262] The industrialized worldview perceives Nature as something to be harnessed

through industrial processes and infrastructure, in order to enhance the human

condition. It is an exploitive worldview that seeks to use natural resources and habitats

as the means to continuously improve human societal wellbeing—that is, to provide

continuously improving material living standards for ever-increasing numbers of ever-

expanding human populations.

[263] The resource mix associated with today’s industrialized societies is heavily skewed toward nonrenewable natural resources, which, in addition to renewable natural

resources and natural habitats, have been increasingly overexploited since the dawn of

the industrial revolution.

183

[264] It is precisely this persistent overexploitation of natural resources and natural

habitats—especially NNRs—that has enabled the “success” associated with the industrial lifestyle paradigm—success being defined here as continuous increases in

both human population levels and human material living standards.

Nonrenewable Natural Resources—the Enablers of Industrialization:

[265] Our industrial lifestyle paradigm is enabled by nonrenewable natural resources

(NNRs)—energy resources, metals, and minerals. Both the support infrastructure

within industrialized nations and the raw material inputs into industrialized

economies consist almost entirely of NNRs; NNRs are the primary sources of the

tremendous wealth surpluses required to perpetuate industrialized societies.

[266] As a case in point, the percentage of NNR inputs into the US economy increased

from less than 10% in the year 1800, which corresponds roughly with the inception of

the American industrial revolution, to approximately 95% today. Between 1800 and

today, America’s total annual NNR utilization level increased from approximately 4 million tons to nearly 7 billion tons—an increase of over 1700 times!

[266.1] In the absence of enormous and ever-increasing NNR supplies, the 1.2 billion

people who currently enjoy an industrialized way of life will cease to do so; and the

billions of people aspiring to an industrialized way of life will fail to realize their goal.

Implications of Increasing Global NNR Scarcity:

Increasing NNR Scarcity:

[267] Available supplies associated with an overwhelming majority of NNRs—including

bauxite, copper, iron ore, magnesium, manganese, nickel, phosphate rock, potash, rare

earth metals, tin, and zinc—have reached their domestic US peak extraction levels,

and are in terminal decline.16 Based on the evidence presented above, available

supplies associated with a vast majority of NNRs are becoming increasingly scarce

globally as well.

[268] Because global NNR supplies are transitioning from “continuously more and more” to “continuously less and less”, our global societal wellbeing levels— our

economic activity levels, population levels, and material living standards—are

transitioning from “continuously more and more” to “continuously less and less” as well.

Sustainability is Inevitable:

[269] “Business as usual” (industrialism), “stasis” (no growth), “downscaling” (reducing NNR utilization), and “moving toward sustainability” (feel good initiatives) are not options; we will be sustainable…

Unintended Consequences:

184

[270] It is difficult to argue that our incessant quest for global industrialization and the

natural resource utilization behavior that enables our quest are inherently evil. We

have simply applied our everexpanding knowledge and technology over the past several

centuries toward dramatically improving our level of societal wellbeing, through our

ever-increasing utilization of NNRs.

[271] However, despite our possibly justifiable naïveté during our meteoric rise to

“exceptionalism”, and despite the fact that our predicament was undoubtedly an

unintended consequence of our efforts to continuously improve the material living

standards enjoyed by our ever-expanding global population; globally available,

economically viable supplies associated with the NNRs required to perpetuate our

industrial lifestyle paradigm will not be sufficient going forward.

Our Transition to Sustainability:

[272] Humanity’s transition to a sustainable lifestyle paradigm, within which a drastically reduced human population will rely exclusively on renewable natural

resources (RNRs)—water, soil (farmland), forests, and other naturally occurring

biota—is therefore inevitable. Our choice is not whether we “wish to be sustainable”; our choice involves the process by which we “will become sustainable”.

[273] We can choose to alter fundamentally our existing unsustainable natural resource

utilization behavior and transition voluntarily to a sustainable lifestyle paradigm over

the next several decades. In the process, we would cooperate globally in utilizing

185

remaining accessible NNRs to orchestrate a relatively gradual—but horrifically painful

nonetheless—transition, thereby optimizing our population level and material living

standards both during our transition and at sustainability. Or, we can refrain from

taking preemptive action and allow Nature to orchestrate our transition to

sustainability through societal collapse, thereby experiencing catastrophic reductions

in our population level and material living standards.

The Squeeze is On:

[274] It would be convenient if our unraveling were to occur in 1,000 years, or 500 years,

or even 50 years. We could then dismiss it as a concern for future generations and go

busily about improving our national and global societal wellbeing levels in the

meantime. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The Great Recession was a tangible

manifestation of our predicament—NNR scarcity was epidemic in 2008, both

domestically (US) and globally. Our unraveling is in process. At present, however, only

an extremely small minority of the global populace understands that NNR scarcity is

the fundamental cause underlying our predicament and its derivative economic and

political problems. When the general public becomes aware of this fact and of the fact

that NNR scarcity is a permanent, ever-increasing, and unsolvable phenomenon,

collapse will ensue in short order.

[275] NNR’s which have peaked and in decline ‘at risk’ – i.e. years to global exhaustion

of reserves – are: (a) Antimony: 8 yrs (used for starter lights ignition batteries in cars

and trucks; (b) Bauxite: 40 years (only economically viable feedstock for aluminium); (c)

Bismuth: 17 years (non-toxic substitute for lead in solder and plumbing fixtures); (d)

Cadmium: 25 years; (e) Chromium: 26 years (stainless steel, jet engines and gas

turbines); (f) Coal: 40 years (electricity generation); (g) Cobalt: 26 years (gas turbine

blades, jet aircraft engines, batteries); (h) Copper: 27 years; (i) Fluorspar: 23 years

(feedstock for fluorine bearing chemicals, aluminium and uranium processing); (j)

Graphite (Natural): 23 years; (k) Iron Ore: 15 years (only feedstock for iron and steel);

(l) Lead: 17 years; (m) Lithium: 8 years (aircraft parts, mobile phones, batteries for

electrical vehicles); (n) Manganese: 17 years (stainless steel, gasoline additive, dry cell

batteries); (o) Molybdenum: 20 years (aircraft parts, electrical contacts, industrial

motors, tool steels); (p) Natural Gas: 34 years; (q) Nickel: 30 years; (r) Niobium: 15

years (jet and rocket engines, turbines, superconducting magnets); (s) Oil: 39 years; (t)

Rhenium: 22 years (petroleum refining, jet engines, gas turbine blades); (u) Silver: 11

years; (v) Thalium: 38 years; (w) Tin: 18 years; (x) Tungsten: 32 years; (y) Uranium: 34

years (primary energy source, weapons); (z) Zinc: 13 years; (aa) Zirconium: 19 years

(nuclear power plants, jet engines, gas turbine blades).

186

Thermodynamic Footprint Tipping Point:

[276] The unit of the Human Equivalent or HE is similar to the concept of the "energy

slave". Each of us represents the operation of some quantity of primary energy within

our environment. That energy (plus the food an individual consumes) represents the

work of a number of "human equivalents", a number that is given by our

Thermodynamic Footprint.

World Thermodynamic Footprint Since 1800:

[277] By multiplying the average global TF figure by the actual world population, we

can find the "Human Equivalent" population of the world over time. This value reflects

both our increasing energy consumption and our growing world population. It is a

measure of the increasing planetary impact of the combined growth in our technology,

activity and numbers.

[278] In 1800 the actual world population was just under 1 billion, while the "Human

Equivalent" population was just over a billion.

[279] By 2010, the world's numeric population was 6.85 billion, while the "Human

Equivalent" population had ballooned to the staggering level of over 135 billion people.

This means that the planetary systems are now experiencing an impact equivalent to

187

135 billion hunter-foragers living and working with muscle, wood and animal power

alone.

[280] A world population decline will be triggered and fed by our civilization's encounter

with limits. These limits may show up in any area: accelerating climate change,

weather extremes, shrinking food supplies, fresh water depletion, shrinking energy

supplies, pandemic diseases, breakdowns in the social fabric due to excessive

complexity, supply chain breakdowns, electrical grid failures, a breakdown of the

international financial system, international hostilities - the list of candidates is

endless, and their interactions are far too complex to predict.

[281] It's also important to remember that the decline will probably not happen

anything like this, either. With climate change getting ready to push humanity down

the stairs, and the strong possibility that the overall global temperature will rise by 5

or 6 degrees Celsius even before the end of that first decline cycle, our prospects do not

look even this "good" from where I stand.

[282] We can attempt to voluntarily mitigate our path to sustainability, by

implementing Deindustrialization, Population and Consumption Reduction policies, or

we can simply do nothing and wait for the collapse of our natural capital and our

collision with impending Ecological Apocalypse. If and when it happens, it will follow

its own dynamic, and the force of events could easily make the Japanese and Andaman

tsunamis seem like pleasant days at the beach.

SS-DEFCON 2: Scarcity – Conflict Jurisprudence

“The seventh principle of humanitarian action in armed conflict says: “Contextualization: Effective humanitarian action should

encompass a comprehensive view of overall needs and of the impact

of interventions. Encouraging respect for human rights and

addressing the underlying causes of conflicts are essential elements.” - Dec 1994: Dept of the Army, Field Manual 100-23, Peace Operations.

“There is also a new and different threat to our national security emerging—the destruction of our environment. The defense establishment has a clear stake in this growing threat... one of

our key national security objectives must be to reverse the

accelerating pace of environmental destruction.” - Senator Sam Nunn (D-GA), Senate, June 28, 1990

“This monograph argues that the Army is unprepared for the

implications of environmental scarcity as a cause of violent

conflict. The proof follows in the next three chapters. Chapter

Two provides a conceptual model for examining the causal

relationship between environmental scarcity and violent conflict.

It shows causation by answering two questions. First, does

scarcity cause specific social effects, such as population

migration and poverty? Second, so the social effects that result

from scarcity cause violent conflict? [..] [This chapter

concludes that conflicts arising from environmental scarcity will

occur more frequently in the future and threaten U.S. national

security interests. Third, does doctrine address conflicts caused

by environmental scarcities? The doctrinal review reveals that

the Army does not recognize environmental scarcity as a cause of

conflict. Chapter Four synthesizes the findings from the

preceding chapters, showing that the Army is intellectually

189

unprepared for conflicts caused by environmental scarcity. The

monograph ends with two recommendations. First, the Army should

recognize environmental causes of war in its doctrine. Second,

the Army should adopt the Modified Conflict Causality Model as a

doctrinal tool for predicting and evaluating future conflicts.” - Major William E David, Environmental Scarcity as a Cause of

Violent Conflict, School of Advanced Military Studies; United

States Army Command and General Staff College; April 1996

[284] Fact #1: When citizens procreate and/or consume unsustainably above carrying

capacity levels, ecological overshoot occurs, resulting in scarcity and aggravating

scarcity induced resource conflicts.

[285] Fact #2: If legislators or jurists were sincere, serious and committed to reducing

scarcity induced resource war conflicts, they would explore legislation to limit the over-

procreation and/or consumption root causes of ecological overshoot induced scarcity.

[286] Fact #3: Legislators sincere about legislation to limit conflict resulting from

ecological overshoot induced scarcity would explore legislation to determine: (A)

Procreation footprint: how many children per family maintains procreation levels

below carrying capacity and leads to sustainable peace? (B) Production Footprint: How

much exploitation and production of non-renewable and renewable natural resources

maintains production below carrying capacity and leads to sustainable peace? (C)

Consumption Footprint: How much individual consumption maintains consumption

levels below carrying capacity and leads to sustainable peace?

[287] Fact #4: Scarcity-Conflict issues focussed on the consequences of procreating and

consuming above carrying capacity limits, and their overshoot-scarcity-conflict

consequences have been researched and are of concern to academics, ecologists and

military official’s individuals concerned about national security issues; however

legislators and jurists have and continue to avoid exploring ecology of peace legislation

to limit procreation and consumption to levels below carrying capacity limits; to reduce

scarcity induced resource conflicts.

[288] Fact #5: Civilized Patriarchy’s global AnthroCorpocentric Jurisprudence Suicide Freight Train, which has driven society into between 700-400,000 % ecological

overshoot, has as much chance of muddling through the coming ‘Falling Man Syndrome’ crisis of Conflict, as an individual sitting in an unbelted car crash. (Non-

Linearity and Social Conflict489)

[289] Fact #6: The public in general are ecologically illiterate: they are unable to make

informed environmental decisions, and ignorant about the ecological overshoot state of

our planet, and its impending scarcity-conflict consequences, as a result the Media’s Censorship of Environment-Scarcity-Conflict contextual information.

[290] Fact #7: Media Censorship of Environment-Scarcity-Conflict refers to a corporate

media socialized externality cost. Like all corporations, media corporations work to

maximize their profits, by maximizing revenues while minimizing costs, by

externalizing – avoid paying – as many costs as possible, externalizing them to society.

191

Journalists are aware of how population and consumption affect ecological overshoot,

scarcity and scarcity induced conflict, but avoid including such context to socio-political

problem stories, because it directly and indirectly490 conflicts with their population and

consumption growth profit motives. Numerous studies such as Dr. Michael Maher’s study: How and Why Journalists Avoid Population - Environment Connection (PDF491),

document how the mainstream media consciously censors the population/consumption-

overshoot-scarcity-conflict contextual connection in their reporting on environment,

scarcity and conflict related events. Dr. Maher did a random sample of 150 stories

about urban sprawl, endangered species and water shortages, and found that only 1 in

ten framed population growth as a source of the problem. Other studies conducted by

Media Matters in the US show that (i) in recent 2013 wildfire coverage, only 6 percent

of total wildfire items mentioned climate change492; (ii) in Midwest flood coverage, only

3 percent of stories mentioned climate change493; (iii) in 2012, the nightly news covered

the royal family more than climate change494; (iv) a recent study documenting the

warmest year on record received cool media coverage495, almost entirely censoring

scientists from climate change discussion496; (v) in 2012, the Kardashians got 40 times

more news coverage than ocean acidification, which affects over 50% of US fishery

revenues497; (vi) in 2012, TV media covered Joe Biden’s smile nearly twice as much as climate change498, and Paul Ryan’s workout, three times more than record Arctic Sea

Ice loss499.

[291] Fact #8: Civilized Patriarchy’s global AnthroCorpocentric Jurisprudence Suicide Freight Train Falling Man Syndrome belief that it is unnecessary to legislate carrying

capacity restrictions on procreation and consumption, because “in 200 years, our Right to Breed and consume has resulted in the exponential consumption of over half of the

Earth's resources, and nothing bad has happened yet”; is ecologically and scientifically equivalent to a man who has been pushed out of a 150 story building, passing the

490 Advertisers prefer not to advertise in news media which honestly encourage readers to consume responsibly, by contextually linking the role of overconsumption to the ecological overshoot socio-political problems being experienced by citizens. Many citizens indoctrinated with political correct thinking, also marketed by media and corporations, prefer not to offend readers who prefer to be ecologically illiterate intellectual ostriches who are not confronted with the reality that their consumption and procreation contributes to problems resulting from ecological overshoot. Such readers/viewers would prefer to be told that their consumption or procreation above carrying capacity limits has nothing to do with ecological overshoot related socio-political problems, which are someone else’s fault, preferably someone else from a different ethnicity, culture, religion or ideology. 491 Maher: How and Why Journalists Avoid Population-Environment Connection http://issuu.com/js-ror/docs/mahertm_journo-env-pop-connection 492 (i) Fitzsimmons Jill (9 May 2013) (ii) Greenberg Max (3 July 2013) 493 Fitzsimmons Jill (7 May 2013) 494 Fitzsimmons Jill (14 May 2013): 495 (i) Fitzsimmons Jill (8 January 2013); (ii) Fitzsimmons Jill (11 March 2013) 496 Fitzsimmons Jill (15 August 2012) 497 Theel Shauna (27 June 2012): 498 Fitzsimmons Jill (13 November 2012) 499 Fitzsimmons Jill (27 September 2012)

window of the 60th story, calling out to a friend “‘I’ve fallen 90 stories in the past 5 seconds and nothing bad has happened yet”.

[292] Conclusion: It can be safely said that sufficient academic, ecological evidence and

military doctrine concern exists to suggest the urgent military necessity of courts to

investigate holding prosecutors and legislators criminally responsible for the absence of

carrying capacity limits legislation, or to enact carrying capacity limits jurisprudence

to restrict citizens rights to breed and consume to below carrying capacity levels; to

pull the parachute ripcord and slow the descent of the ecological overshoot – scarcity –

conflict – economic collapse freight train’s descent towards its collision with the

ecological sustainability iceberg.

Ecological Overshoot, Scarcity and Conflict

Limits to Economic and Population Growth:

[293] In 1972, the now-classic book Limits to Growth500 explored and warned of the

aforementioned consequences for Earth’s ecosystems of exponential growth in

population, industrialization, pollution, food production, and resource depletion.

[294] Its warned that if the present growth trends continued unchanged, the limits to

growth on this planet would be reached sometime within the next one hundred years.

The most probable result would be a rather sudden and uncontrollable decline in both

population and industrial capacity.

[295] It suggested that it would be possible to alter these growth trends and to

establish a condition of ecological and economic stability that is sustainable far into the

future, if a socio-political system was designed to effect a state of global equilibrium.

[296] If the world's people decided to strive for this second outcome rather than the

first, the sooner they began working to attain it, the greater would be their chances of

success.

[297] As documented: all five elements basic to the study of Limits to Growth —

population, food production, and consumption of non-renewable natural resources —

have been increasing. The amount of their increases each year has followed a pattern

that mathematicians call exponential growth.

500 Donella Meadows, Dennis Meadows, Jorgen Randers, and william Behrens II, The Limits to Growth (New York: Universe Books, 1972)

193

[298] Since the publication of Limits to Growth, thousands upon thousands of

scientific studies have been conducted and published warning citizens and politicians

of the devastating consequences of humanity growing footprint.

[299] It is common scientific knowledge that the overshoot impacts on the

environment are a consequence of Population, Affluence and Technology (I=PAT).

[300] Zero Effective Preventative Legislation: Nevertheless politicians are not

engaging in public discussion and debate to implement legislation to restrict citizen’s consumption and procreation practices to lower levels to reduce these devastating

impact consequences on the ecological foundation of every nation’s natural capital, which would indicate a preventative legislative focus to avoid overshoot-scarcity-

conflict consequences.

Common Sense Peaceniks required to mitigate future social conflict:

[301] In Peace seekers have no plan for enduring peace501, Dr. Jack Alpert argues

that Peaceniks failure to move society from conflict to peace, their establishment of

never ending or honoured “peace accords, moral codes, acts of economic justice, and environmental laws, are like traffic signals” which “cause people to relinquish

freedoms” but, “do not stop (change) the behaviors that increase scarcity, conflict, and environmental destruction”502: “result from a faulty perception of what increases or decreases conflict. Where, peace seekers have acted as if conflict is caused by bad

leadership maybe they should have acted as if trends in conflict are driven by trends in

scarcity. Maybe they would have been more successful if they acted as if trends in

scarcity are driven by the collective behaviors of 6 billion people. That while each

individual acts benignly to achieve personal objectives the unintentional result is an

increase in scarcity and conflict.”

[302] Another reason for ignoring the above view of human conflict – according to Dr.

Alpert -- is that peace seekers, even when successful at restraining the police, military

or mediating hostilities, do not change our course toward conflict. They only delay it. In

the process, peace seekers consume the very energy required to change the things that

would make societies head toward peace.

[303] In Human Predicament: Better Common Sense Required: The Future of

Social Conflict503, Dr. Jack Alpert challenges us to answer two questions Corporate

Oligarchs who profit from Unsustainable procreation (demand for more consumers),

production and consumption, including its scarcity-conflict resource war consequences;

do not want citizens, politicians, police, judges, prosecutors and those tasked with

national security to ask themselves.

[304] Let’s consider that Peace and conflict are defined not as descriptions of behaviour

between nations, but as trends describing social conditions. Put differently: Conflict is

not defined as the violence between neighbours and nations, but as the unwanted

intrusion of one person’s existence and consumption behaviour upon another person.

[305] There are two kinds of conflict:

[305.1] Direct: he took my car, he enslaved me, he beat me, he raped me, he killed

me; and Indirect. Indirect intrusions are the by-product of other people's behaviour.

[305.2] Indirect: ‘All the trees on our island were consumed by our grandparents,’ is an indirect intrusion of a past generation on a present one. ‘The rich people raised the price of gasoline and we can't afford it,’ and ‘The government is offering people welfare to breed more children’ are current economic and demographic intrusions by one

present group on another present group. Free Trade enabling overexploitation,

overproduction and overconsumption of a nation natural capital resources is an

economic intrusion by one set of oligarchs upon another set of citizens whose lives

depend on such natural capital.

[306] System conflict is the sum of intrusions experienced by each constituent, summed

over all the constituents. A measure of the existing global conflict is the sum of six

billion sets of direct and indirect intrusions. A measure of the UK’s conflict is the sum of 62 million sets of direct and indirect intrusions.

[307] Using this definition of conflict, any citizen, politician, policeman, judge or

legislator sincerely concerned about finding out whether and how the United

Kingdom’s socio-economic and political system is moving towards peace or towards

conflict; can do so, by determining the answers to the following questions:

A. Procreation Footprint: How many children per family leads to peace; or

conversely how many children per family, contributes to greater resource

scarcity, and exponential increase in conflict, i.e. an individuals’ ‘breeding war combatant’ status? [According to the research of Dr. Jack Alpert504, the

global answer – currently based on current population numbers -- is one child

per family leads to peace; two or more children leads to conflict]

B. Production/Carbon Footprint: How much exploitation and production of

non-renewable and renewable natural resources relative to the nation’s Natural Capital carrying capacity footprint leads to peace; or conversely how

much of a nation’s non-renewable and renewable natural resources can or

504 http://sqswans.weebly.com/human-predicament.html

195

should a corporation exploit into production of consumer goods, before such

exploitation and production contributes to greater resource scarcity and

exponential increase in conflict; i.e. a corporations ‘production combatant’ status? [All utilization of non-renewable natural resources—fossil fuels,

metals, and minerals—at any level, contributes to scarcity-conflict. Peaceful

utilization of Aquatic, terrestrial, and atmospheric natural habitats requires

that they be degraded only at levels less than or equal to the levels at which

they are regenerated by Nature. Exploiting renewable resources above their

capacity to regenerate is not sustainable and does not contribute to peaceful

resource relations; i.e. contribute to scarcity-conflict505. See Carbon

Footprint506]

C. Consumption/Carbon Footprint: How much consumption of non-

renewable and renewable natural resources relative to the nation’s Natural Capital carrying capacity footprint leads to peace; or conversely how much

consumption of non-renewable and renewable natural resources relative to

the nation’s Natural Capital carrying capacity footprint, contributes to greater resource scarcity, and exponential increase in conflict, i.e. an

individuals ‘consumption combatant status’? All consumption of

nonrenewable natural resources—fossil fuels, metals, and minerals—at any

level, contributes to scarcity-conflict. Peaceful consumption of Aquatic,

terrestrial, and atmospheric natural habitats requires that they be degraded

only at levels less than or equal to the levels at which they are regenerated by

Nature. Exploiting renewable resources above their capacity to regenerate is

not sustainable and does not contribute to peaceful resource relations; i.e.

contribute to scarcity-conflict507. [See Nation Footprint508; Finance

Footprint509, Business Footprint510; Personal Footprint511]

[308] In the absence of the worlds political, economic and corporate leaders confronting

and acknowledging the difference between sustainable peaceful consumption and

procreation and unsustainable scarcity-conflict aggravating consumption and

procreation; and implementing legislation and Jurisprudence in accordance thereto;

Dr. Alpert provides proof how the global AnthroCorpocentric Jurisprudence Suicide

505 “Sustainable natural resource utilization behavior involves the utilization of renewable natural resources—water, cropland, pastureland, forests, and wildlife—exclusively. Renewable natural resource reserves can be depleted only at levels less than or equal to the levels at which they are replenished by Nature. The utilization of nonrenewable natural resources—fossil fuels, metals, and minerals—at any level, is not sustainable. Aquatic, terrestrial, and atmospheric natural habitats can be degraded only at levels less than or equal to the levels at which they are regenerated by Nature. All other natural resource utilization behavior and all other natural habitat degradation are unsustainable—period.” (Sustainability Defined, by Chris Clugston, author: Scarcity) 506 http://www.carbonfootprint.com 507 Ibid: Sustainability Defined, by Chris Clugston, author: Scarcity 508 http://www.footprintnetwork.org/en/index.php/GFN/page/footprint_for_nations/ 509 http://www.footprintnetwork.org/en/index.php/GFN/page/footprint_for_finance/ 510 http://www.footprintnetwork.org/en/index.php/GFN/page/footprint_for_business/ 511 http://www.footprintnetwork.org/en/index.php/GFN/page/personal_footprint/ and http://www.myfootprint.org/

Freight Train has as much chance of muddling through the coming ‘Falling Man Syndrome’ Crisis of Conflict, as an individual sitting in an unbelted car crash. (Non-

Linearity and Social Conflict512).

[309] Dr. Alpert compares humanity’s belief that “in 200 years, our Right to Breed and consume has resulted in the exponential consumption of over half of the Earth's

resources, and nothing bad has happened yet”; to a man who has fallen out of a 150

story building, passing the window of the 60th story, calling out to a friend “‘I’ve fallen 90 stories in the past 5 seconds and nothing bad has happened yet”.

explains how overpopulation, overconsumption and socio-economic inequality factor

into the scarcity-conflict death spiral. In How much population decline saves

civilization517 he explains why humanity must rapidly reduce world population to

below 100 million; concluding with his plan for Rapid Population Decline518, due to the

Such crises could lead to "loss of functioning political and legal order" leading to "purposeful domestic resistance or insurgency... "DoD might be forced by circumstances to put its broad resources at the disposal of civil authorities to contain and reverse violent threats to domestic tranquility.

Scarcity and Conflict: Military Doctrine: Selected Excerpts:

“There is also a new and different threat to our national

security emerging—the destruction of our environment. The defense establishment has a clear stake in this growing threat... one of

our key national security objectives must be to reverse the

accelerating pace of environmental destruction.” - Senator Sam Nunn (D-GA), Senate, June 28, 1990

***

“According to a growing body of literature, scarcity of freshwater to meet the many needs of Third World countries is

rapidly escalating. Furthermore, many of the remaining

exploitable sources of freshwater are in river basins shared by

two or more sovereign states. These facts present the potential

for violent conflict over water unless affected states can

develop and use their common water resources in a cooperative,

sustainable, and equitable manner. The United States, in its

National Security Strategy and Foreign Affairs Policy, has called

attention to the problem of resource scarcity as having important

implications for American security.”592 ***

“The effect of environmental problems on national security, now commonly referred to as "environmental security," is important to

the US military. The concept first appeared in the 1991 National

Security Strategy (NSS), when President Bush recognized that the

failure to competently manage natural resources could contribute

to potential conflict.593 The 1993 National Security Strategy

echoed this concern and included the environment as an element of

economic power.594 When A National Security Strategy of Engagement

and Enlargement was published in February 1996, it amplified the

importance of the environment as a component of United States

national security even further.595 The 1996 NSS recognizes that

competition for natural resources "is already a very real risk to

regional stability around the world."596 It also states that

national and international environmental degradation poses a

direct threat to economic growth and to global and national

security.597 Thus, as one of the institutions charged with

protecting our national security, the US military also should be

concerned with all aspects of environmental security.” 598 ***

“Environmental issues can adversely influence our national security in two important ways. One of these is potential or

actual conflict between nations or groups that can arise as a

result of disputes over natural resources or transnational

environmental problems. A second way that environmental issues

can directly affect national security is by destabilizing

governments or institutions in a country afflicted with

environmental degradation. Haiti is a good example. As early as

1978, the President's Council on Environmental Quality noted that

deforestation in Haiti was almost complete and then predicted

that social disruption and instability would soon follow.599 It

took 16 more years and a military overthrow of duly elected

President Aristide to spark renewed US military involvement in

Haiti. However, it is clear that the environmental devastation of

that country's forests, soil and water supplies created a cause

and effect between environmental issues and Haiti's economic

deprivation, massive migration and the basic instability of

virtually every economic or governmental institution in the

country.”600

[314] 1974: NSSM 200: National Security Study Memorandum: Implications of

Worldwide Population Growth For U.S. Security and Overseas Interests

(The Kissinger Report)601:

Rapid population growth adversely affects every aspect of

economic and social progress in developing countries. It absorbs

large amounts of resources needed for more productive investment

in development. It requires greater expenditures for health,

education and other social services, particularly in urban areas.

It increases the dependency load per worker so that a high

fraction of the output of the productive age group is needed to

support dependents. It reduces family savings and domestic

investment. It increases existing severe pressures on limited

agricultural land in countries where the world's "poverty

problem" is concentrated. It creates a need for use of large

amounts of scarce foreign exchange for food imports (or the loss

of food surpluses for export). Finally, it intensifies the

already severe unemployment and underemployment problems of many

developing countries where not enough productive jobs are created

to absorb the annual increments to the labor force.

Even in countries with good resource/population ratios, rapid

population growth causes problems for several reasons: First,

large capital investments generally are required to exploit

unused resources. Second, some countries already have high and

growing unemployment and lack the means to train new entrants to

their labor force. Third, there are long delays between starting

effective family planning programs and reducing fertility, and

even longer delays between reductions in fertility and population

stabilization. Hence there is substantial danger of vastly

overshooting population targets if population growth is not

moderated in the near future.

[..] Moderation of population growth offers benefits in terms of

resources saved for investment and/or higher per capita

consumption. If resource requirements to support fewer children

are reduced and the funds now allocated for construction of

schools, houses, hospitals and other essential facilities are

invested in productive activities, the impact on the growth of

GNP and per capita income may be significant. In addition,

economic and social progress resulting from population control

will further contribute to the decline in fertility rates. The

relationship is reciprocal, and can take the form of either a

vicious or a virtuous circle.

Implications of Population Pressures for National Security

It seems well understood that the impact of population factors on

the subjects already considered -- development, food

requirements, resources, environment -- adversely affects the

welfare and progress of countries in which we have a friendly

interest and thus indirectly adversely affects broad U.S.

interests as well.

[..] A recent study* of forty-five local conflicts involving

Third World countries examined the ways in which population

factors affect the initiation and course of a conflict in

different situations. The study reached two major conclusions:

1. ". . . population factors are indeed critical in, and often

determinants of, violent conflict in developing areas. Segmental

(religious, social, racial) differences, migration, rapid

population growth, differential levels of knowledge and skills,

rural/urban differences, population pressure and the special

location of population in relation to resources -- in this

rough order of importance -- all appear to be important

contributions to conflict and violence...

2. Clearly, conflicts which are regarded in primarily political

terms often have demographic roots: Recognition of these

relationships appears crucial to any understanding or prevention

of such hostilities."

[..] Professor Philip Hauser of the University of Chicago has

suggested the concept of "population complosion" to describe the

situation in many developing countries when (a) more and more

people are born into or move into and are compressed in the same

207

living space under (b) conditions and irritations of different

races, colours, religions, languages, or cultural backgrounds,

often with differential rates of population growth among these

groups, and (c) with the frustrations of failure to achieve their

aspirations for better standards of living for themselves or

their children. To these may be added pressures for and actual

international migration. These population factors appear to have

a multiplying effect on other factors involved in situations of

incipient violence.

These adverse conditions appear to contribute frequently to

harmful developments of a political nature: Juvenile delinquency,

thievery and other crimes, organized brigandry, kidnapping and

terrorism, food riots, other outbreaks of violence; guerrilla

warfare, communal violence, separatist movements, revolutionary

movements and counter-revolutionary coupe. All of these bear upon

the weakening or collapse of local, state, or national government

functions.

Beyond national boundaries, population factors appear to have had

operative roles in some past politically disturbing legal or

illegal mass migrations, border incidents, and wars. If current

increased population pressures continue they may have greater

potential for future disruption in foreign relations.

Perhaps most important, in the last decade population factors

have impacted more severely than before on availabilities of

agricultural land and resources, industrialization, pollution and

the environment. All this is occurring at a time when

international communications have created rising expectations

which are being frustrated by slow development and inequalities

of distribution.

Population growth and inadequate resources. Where population

size is greater than available resources, or is expanding more

rapidly than the available resources, there is a tendency toward

internal disorders and violence and, sometimes, disruptive

international policies or violence. The higher the rate of

growth, the more salient a factor population increase appears to

be. A sense of increasing crowding, real or perceived, seems to

generate such tendencies, especially if it seems to thwart

obtaining desired personal or national goals.

2. Populations with a high proportion of growth. The young

people, who are in much higher proportions in many LDCs, are

likely to be more volatile, unstable, prone to extremes,

alienation and violence than an older population. These young

people can more readily be persuaded to attack the legal

institutions of the government or real property of the

"establishment," "imperialists," multinational corporations, or

other ── often foreign ── influences blamed for their troubles. 3. Population factors with social cleavages. When adverse

population factors of growth, movement, density, excess, or

pressure coincide with racial, religious, color, linguistic,

cultural, or other social cleavages, there will develop the most

potentially explosive situations for internal disorder, perhaps

with external effects. When such factors exist together with the

reality or sense of relative deprivation among different groups

208

within the same country or in relation to other countries or

peoples, the probability of violence increases significantly.

[315] Butts, Kent (25 April 1994): Environmental Security: A DOD Partnership for

Peace602; US Army War College:

[Report on the Dept of Defense effort to create a Proactive

Environmental Security Peace Strategy as part of the Fifth Senior

Environmental Leadership Conference.]

“Environmental degradation imperils nations' most fundamental aspect of security by undermining the natural support systems on

which all of human activity depends.” - Michael Renner, 1989603 The DOD environmental security mission has its roots in the fact

that environmental problems that lead to instability and

contention are being ignored, and U.S. combat forces are becoming

involved in the resulting conflict. In addition, DOD's

environmental security mission supports the National Security

Strategy (NSS) of the United States and must be understood in

that context.

As stated by the National Security Strategy, "The stress from

environmental challenges is already contributing to political

conflict." Recognizing the importance of environmental issues to

U.S. national security interests, the Deputy Undersecretary of

Defense for Environmental Security defined DOD's role in

environmental security to include "mitigating the impacts of

adverse environmental actions leading to international

instability."604

Instability and conflict often result from the poverty created by

the economic regression of resource depletion or scarcity. The

abuse of power by the leaders of many developing countries has

frequently manifested itself in exploitive resource management

practices, a wasting away of the economic infrastructure, human

suffering and ethnic-based competition for increasingly scarce

resources, and, ultimately, to conflict.

[..] The global population has grown geometrically and will

double over the period from 1950 to 2000, bringing environmental

issues to the fore. Rates of global population continue to

increase, particularly in the vulnerable developing world,

accelerating demand for food and a broad range of other natural

resources. The global rates of consumption of natural resources

are far greater than the ecosystem has previously endured.10 The

world is rapidly moving beyond local shortages, which

historically have created local conflict, to regional or

transboundary resource shortages with the potential to escalate

into far reaching hostilities involving U.S. forces. In numerous

regions the ability of the earth to replenish its renewable

resources, even with the human intervention of irrigation and

Another early and important effort to broaden the definition of national security to include environmental challenges was Jessica Tuchman Matthews, "Redefining Security," Foreign Affairs, Spring 1989, pp. 162-178. 604 Sherri Wasserman Goodman, Deputy Under Secretary of Defense, (Environmental Security), Statement Before the Subcommittee on Installation and Facilities, May 13, 1993.

fertilizer, has already been exceeded. Indeed, these very

interventions often create unforeseen, adverse environmental

consequences. Thus, the frequently ignored, long-lead-time

environmental factors have reached their thresholds and are

causing instability that security policy analysts cannot ignore.

[..] The most notable environmental threats to U.S. security

are:

• Global: competition for or threatened denial of strategic resources; ozone depletion; global warming; loss of biodiversity;

proliferation of weapons of mass destruction; effects of

demilitarization of nuclear, chemical, biological and

conventional weapons; space debris; and inability or

unwillingness of countries to comply with international

environmental agreements and standards.

• Regional: environmental terrorism, accident or disaster;

vector-borne communicable diseases; regional conflicts caused by

scarcity/denial of resources; cross border and global common

contamination; and environmental factors affecting military

access to land, air, and water.

• State: environmental degradation of the resource base on which governmental legitimacy depends; risks to public health and the

environment from DOD activities; increasing restrictions on

military operations and access to air, land, and water;

inefficient use of military resources; reduced weapons systems

performance; demilitarization of nuclear, chemical, and

conventional weapons systems; and erosion of public trust.

Recommendations:

• Appoint a special assistant to the National Security Advisor for International Environmental Security Affairs and create an

interagency working group, chaired by the Special Assistant, to

develop a Presidential Decision Document establishing U.S.

environmental security policy.

• Establish environmental security as a principal objective of the National Security Strategy and include environmental issues

in National Security Council threat assessments and foreign

policy planning.

• Emphasize the linkage between environmental security objectives and the achievement of current, primary congressional and

administration interests of democratic reform, economic

development, and conflict resolution.

• In conjunction with the United Nations, use DOD capabilities to enforce international treaties and agreements.

• Create a DOD Environmental Crisis Monitoring Center to warn the policymaking community of chronic environmental issues before

political positions have hardened and policy options have

narrowed.

and of the impact of interventions. Encouraging respect for

human rights and addressing the underlying causes of conflicts are essential elements. (own emphasis)

[317] 1995: White House: National Security Strategy607:

“Increasing competition for the dwindling reserves of uncontaminated air, arable land, fisheries and other food

sources, and water, once considered 'free' goods, is already a

very real risk to regional stability around the world. The range

of risks serious enough to jeopardize international stability

extends to massive population flight from man-made or natural

catastrophes, such as Chernobyl or the East African drought, and

to large-scale ecosystem damage caused by industrial pollution,

deforestation, loss of biodiversity, ozone depletion,

desertification, oceanic pollution and ultimately climate

[318] April 1996: MAJ William E David, USA Military Intelligence: Environmental

Scarcity as a Cause of Violent Conflict609, School of Advanced Military Studies;

United States Army Command and General Staff College.

This monograph argues that the Army is unprepared for the

implications of environmental scarcity as a cause of violent

conflict. The proof follows in the next three chapters. Chapter

Two provides a conceptual model for examining the causal

relationship between environmental scarcity and violent

conflict. It shows causation by answering two questions. First,

does scarcity cause specific social effects, such as population

migration and poverty? Second, so the social effects that

result from scarcity cause violent conflict? [..] [This chapter

concludes that conflicts arising from environmental scarcity

will occur more frequently in the future and threaten U.S.

national security interests. Third, does doctrine address

conflicts caused by environmental scarcities? The doctrinal

review reveals that the Army does not recognize environmental

scarcity as a cause of conflict. Chapter Four synthesizes the

findings from the preceding chapters, showing that the Army is

intellectually unprepared for conflicts caused by environmental

scarcity. The monograph ends with two recommendations. First,

the Army should recognize environmental causes of war in its

doctrine. Second, the Army should adopt the Modified Conflict

Causality Model as a doctrinal tool for predicting and

evaluating future conflicts.

fisheries are but some of the outcomes. Although few people

would disagree with the causation between human activities and

environmental degradation, their reactions place them in one of

two categories: cornucopians or neo-Malthusians. Cornucopians

do not worry about protecting any single natural resource. They

believe that human ingenuity will always allow the substitution

of more abundant resources to produce the same products and

services. Neo-Malthusians put less faith in ingenuity, arguing

that "renewable resources' is a misleading term.

[..] The divergence between cornucopians and neo-Malthusians

enters into the debate corcerning the causes of conflict.

Corncopians remain prisoners of the industrial revolution. They

assume that there are only social cuases for social and

political changes, neglecting the role of nature. However,

Robert Kaplan noted: "nature is coming back with a vengeance,

tied to population growth. It will have incredible security

implications"[1] Neo-Malthusians realize that humans cannot

seperate themselves from nature. The following causality

analysis adheres to the neo-Malthusian perspective. therefore,

it takes a holistic approahc toward causality, combining

conflict studies and the study of the physical environment.

After providing a conflict causality model, this chapter uses

six case studies to prove that violent conflicts can arise from

environmental scarcities.

[319] 13 Mar 1997: Col BX Bush: Promoting Environmental Security during

Contingency Operations610; US Army War College.

“The effect of environmental problems on national security, now commonly referred to as "environmental security," is important to

the US military. The concept first appeared in the 1991 National

Security Strategy (NSS), when President Bush recognized that the

failure to competently manage natural resources could contribute

to potential conflict.[1] The 1993 National Security Strategy

echoed this concern and included the environment as an element of

economic power.[2] When A National Security Strategy of

Engagement and Enlargement was published in February 1996, it

amplified the importance of the environment as a component of

United States national security even further.[3] The 1996 NSS

recognizes that competition for natural resources "is already a

very real risk to regional stability around the world."[4] It

also states that national and international environmental

degradation poses a direct threat to economic growth and to

global and national security.[5] Thus, as one of the institutions

charged with protecting our national security, the US military

also should be concerned with all aspects of environmental

security.” “Environmental issues can adversely influence our national security in two important ways. One of these is potential or

actual conflict between nations or groups that can arise as a

result of disputes over natural resources or transnational

environmental problems. A second way that environmental issues

can directly affect national security is by destabilizing

610 http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=ADA326869

212

governments or institutions in a country afflicted with

environmental degradation. Haiti is a good example. As early as

1978, the President's Council on Environmental Quality noted that

deforestation in Haiti was almost complete and then predicted

that social disruption and instability would soon follow.[6] It

took 16 more years and a military overthrow of duly elected

President Aristide to spark renewed US military involvement in

Haiti. However, it is clear that the environmental devastation of

that country's forests, soil and water supplies created a cause

and effect between environmental issues and Haiti's economic

deprivation, massive migration and the basic instability of

virtually every economic or governmental institution in the

country.”

[320] Spring 1997: Canadian Security Intelligence Service Archived: Commentary No.

71: Environmental Scarcity and Conflict611, by Peter Gizewski, Project on

Environment Population and Security, Peace and Conflict Studies Program, University

of Toronto.

The past decade has witnessed growing recognition of the

importance of environmental factors for national and

international security. In 1987, the UN World Commission on

Environment and Development pointed to environmental stress as "a

possible cause as well as a result of conflict". In 1992, the UN

Security Council warned that sources of instability in the

economic, social, humanitarian, and ecological fields included

military and political "threats to peace and stability". Two

years later, the Clinton Administration observed that "terrorism,

narcotics trafficking, environmental degradation, rapid

population growth and refugee flows ...have security implications

for present and long-term American policy".

A wealth of popular commentary in the past few years has asserted

the existence of general links between environmental stress and

violence and security concerns. But proponents of such linkages

tend to sensationalise the issue, ignoring empirical research and

exaggerating the importance of environmental pressures as a

conflict-generating force. In fact, until recently, scholars and

policy makers functioned with relatively limited understanding of

the causal mechanisms by which environmental scarcity can lead to

conflict.

Recent work has yielded results which partially fill this gap.

Employing a series of detailed examples in which environment

exhibits a prima facie link to social instability, such case

studies carefully trace a causal connection between scarcity and

conflict, and advance a set of key propositions which describe

these links and the conditions under which they apply.

General Insights:

Current work on linkages between environment and conflict

emphasizes the conflict-generating potential of renewable

resource scarcities (i.e. cropland, fresh water, fuel wood and

fish). While the strategic significance of non-renewable

resources (e.g. petroleum, minerals) has long been recognized,

611 http://www.csis-scrs.gc.ca/pblctns/cmmntr/cm71-eng.asp

213

market forces which reduce their demand and stimulate

substitution and technical innovation have served increasingly to

mitigate their scarcity and conflict-generating potential. Such

forces have been less effective in preventing scarcities of

renewables-scarcities which, growing evidence shows, threaten the

internal stability of a number of developing countries.

According to the University of Toronto's Thomas Homer-Dixon,

scarcities of agricultural land, forests, fresh water and fish

are those which contribute the most to violence. These

deficiencies can be demand-induced, a function of population

growth within a region; supply-induced, resulting from the

degradation of resources within the region; or structural, the

result of an unequal distribution of resources throughout the

society. The three processes are not mutually exclusive and may-

and often do-occur simultaneously, acting in tandem.

The degradation and depletion of renewable resources can generate

a range of social effects. It can work to encourage powerful

groups within society to shift resource distribution in their

favour. This process, known as "resource capture" generates

profits for elites while intensifying the effects of scarcity

among the poor or weak. A process of "ecological marginalization"

often follows with poorer groups forced to seek the means of

survival in more ecologically fragile regions such as steep

upland slopes, areas at risk of desertification, tropical rain

forests, and low quality public lands within urban areas. The

high population densities in these regions, combined with a lack

of capital to protect the local ecosystem, breeds severe

environmental scarcity and chronic poverty.

Other social effects can include decreased agricultural

potential, regional economic decline, population displacement and

a disruption of legitimized institutions and social relations.

Most significantly, these scarcities can, either individually or

in combination, generate forces and processes which contribute to

violent conflict among groups within society.

Such scarcities may act to strengthen group identities based on

ethnic, class or religious differences, most notably by

intensifying competition among groups for ever dwindling

resources. At the same time, they can work to undermine the

legitimacy of the state and its capacity to meet challenges. As

the balance of power gradually shifts from the state to the

challenging groups, the prospects for violence increase. Such

violence tends to be subnational, diffuse and persistent.

States may prove capable of avoiding suffering and social stress

by adapting to scarcities. They can pursue programs and policies

which encourage more sustainable resource use. Alternatively, a

state may disengage itself from reliance on scarce resources by

producing goods and services less dependent on such resources.

The resulting products could then be traded for items which local

scarcities preclude the state from producing. More often,

however, countries lack the social and technical ingenuity needed

to adapt successfully to the shortages they face.

[321] 10 Apr 2000: LTC Kurt F. Ubbelohde: Freshwater Scarcity in the Nile River

Basin612, US Army War College.

“According to a growing body of literature, scarcity of freshwater to meet the many needs of Third World countries is

rapidly escalating. Furthermore, many of the remaining

exploitable sources of freshwater are in river basins shared by

two or more sovereign states. These facts present the potential

for violent conflict over water unless affected states can

develop and use their common water resources in a cooperative,

sustainable, and equitable manner. The United States, in its

National Security Strategy and Foreign Affairs Policy, has called

attention to the problem of resource scarcity as having important

implications for American security.”

[322] Sep 2010: Bundeswehr: Peak Oil: Security Policy Implications of Scarce

Resources613.

Effects of Peak Oil on Armed Forces

Severe impediments to mobility as a consequence of peak oil would

have a considerable effect on all German security bodies,

including the Bundeswehr.

In the long run, not only all societies and economies worldwide

but armed forces as well will be faced with the various and

difficult challenges of transformation towards a “post-fossil” age. Implications for Germany: A markedly reduced mobility of

the German Armed Forces would have various consequences – not only for the available equipment and training, but also for their

(global) power projection and intervention capabilities. Given

the size and complexity of many transport and weapon systems as

well as the high standards set for qualities like robustness in

operation, alternative energy and drive propulsion systems would

hardly be available to the necessary extent in the short term.

One of the consequences to be initially expected would be further

cutbacks in the use of large weapon systems for training purposes

in all services, thus raising the need for more “virtualised” training. However, effects on current and planned missions would

most likely be even more severe. Deployment to the theatre of

operations, the operation of bases and the mission itself are

considerably more energy- and above all fuel-intensive than the

mere upkeep of armed forces.

[..] Peak oil, however, is unavoidable. This study shows

the existence of a very serious risk that a global transformation

of economic and social structures, triggered by a long-term

shortage of important raw materials, will not take place without

frictions regarding security policy. The disintegration of

complex economic systems and their interdependent infrastructures

has immediate and in some cases profound effects on many areas of

life, particularly in industrialised countries.

Challenges like climate change, pandemic disease, and resource

scarcity demand new innovation. Meanwhile, the nation that leads

the world in building a clean energy economy will enjoy a

substantial economic and security advantage. That is why the

Administration is investing heavily in research, improving

education in science and math, promoting developments in energy,

and expanding international cooperation. Transform our Energy

Economy: As long as we are dependent on fossil fuels, we need to

ensure the security and free flow of global energy resources. But

without significant and timely adjustments, our energy dependence

will continue to undermine our security and prosperity. This will

leave us vulnerable to energy supply disruptions and manipulation

and to changes in the environment on an unprecedented scale.

[324] 2012: January: Department of Defense: Sustaining U.S. Global Leadership:

Priorities for the 21st Century Defense615:

In this resource-constrained era, we will also work with NATO

allies to develop a “Smart Defense” approach to pool, share, and specialize capabilities as needed to meet 21st century

challenges. [..] Whenever possible, we will develop innovative,

low-cost, and small-footprint approaches to achieve our security

objectives, relying on exercises, rotational presence, and

advisory capabilities. [..] A reduction in resources will

require innovative and creative solutions to maintain our support

for allied and partner interoperability and building partner

capacity. However, with reduced resources, thoughtful choices

will need to be made regarding the location and frequency of

these operations. [..] The balance between available resources

and our security needs has never been more delicate.

[326] Vice Admiral Dennis V. McGinn, USN (Ret); Former Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Warfare Requirements and Programs: Powering America’s Defense: Energy and the Risks to National Security617; Center for Naval Analysis, CAN:

“A yellow ribbon on a car or truck is a wonderful message of symbolic support for our troops. I’d like to see the American people take it several steps further. If you say a yellow ribbon

is the ‘talk,’ then being energy efficient is the ‘walk’. A yellow ribbon on a big, gas-guzzling SUV is a mixed message. We

need to make better energy choices in our homes, businesses and

transportation, as well as to support our leaders in making

policies that change the way we develop and use energy. If we

Americans truly embrace this idea, it is a triple win: it reduces

our dependence on foreign oil, it reduces our impact on the

climate and it makes our nation much more secure.”

[327] Vice Admiral Dennis McGinn; Energy, Climate Change, and the Military:

Implications for National Security618; Woodrow Wilson Center for Environmental Security:

“Global climate change will pose serious threats to water supplies and agricultural production, leading to mass migration

in some cases. At the same time we will see an increasing demand

for a dwindling supply of fossil fuels. These factors mean and

intense competition for key and vital resources, around the globe

and that leads to conflict.

“This report is different to many other reports, involving military leaders. That is because in it, we make a direct appeal

to the American people. We talk in this report about the amazing

sacrifices the American people made during World War II, planting

victory gardens, cutting down on fuel use, saving scrap metal and

old rubber, sacrifices, or maybe just examples of common sense

and prudent lifestyle changes. Whatever you call them, the steps

taken by the American people then, shortened the war and saved

lives.

And I believe the same can be said today about these challenges

of energy security and climate security. There are individual

steps that every American can take. Using less energy. Being more

efficient with the energy that we do use. Supporting new policies

to help our country take a new energy path. These are the steps

that can help us avoid, or shorten wars in the future. Those wars

over competition for vital resources. These are steps that can

save lives. They may cost money yes, but if we don't spend the

money now, we will still pay, and we will pay much more later. In

fact, we'll pay in American lives lost.

American civilians played an important role in World War II

because they understood the stakes and because they were asked to

617 http://www.cna.org/reports/energy 618 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1FMeVH2AgI

217

do so. General Wald made the stakes clear, and our report makes

the stakes clear. Our current energy posture poses a significant

and urgent threat to our national security, militarily,

economically and diplomatically.

Hopefully more Americans will understand these stakes, and that

these consequences will affect them. Hopefully more Americans

will hear the very direct request from our Commander in Chief and

from this small group of a dozen retired Admirals and Generals.

The American people, all of us, through our energy choices can

contribute directly to the security of our nation. It is a triple

win. It makes us energy independent. It reduces our effect on the

environment, and it makes our nation very much more secure.”

[328] James Woolsey, Former CIA Director; Climate Change and National Security619:

“I was testifying before a House Committee a few months ago and one of the members was very sceptical of climate change and was

arguing with me, because I presented some of the reasons why I

thought climate change was a serious problem, and I finally said

"Congressman look, set aside climate change, do you realize that

seven of the nine things that I've suggested will help us be

allot more resilient against terrorism or oil cut-offs." And he

said, "Oh if you are doing them for that reason, then its fine."”

[329] James Woolsey (19 October 2009): How your Gas Money Funds Terrorism620, American Jewish Committee, Washington DC.:

“The author of the fine book The Looming Tower, about Al'Qaeda and 9/11, Laurence Wright, writes for the New Yorker, has a

fascinating sentence in the Looming Tower. He says that with a

little over 1% of the worlds Muslims, Saudi's control about 90%

of the worlds Islamic Institutions. Now what does that mean to

the rest of us? Wahaabi Islam, the religion of Saudi Arabia, if

you read the Imam's Fatwa's, rather than what they say to us, the

Fatwa's are somewhere between murderous and genocidal with

respect to their discussion of Shiite Muslims, Jews, homosexuals

and apostates. They are massively oppressive of women in many,

many ways. They are focussed on the establishment of a worldwide

Caliphate, a theocratic dictatorship. That is essentially

Al'Qaeda's doctrine. There is no substantive difference between

Al'Qaeda and the Wahaabi's of Saudi Arabia want to take us. The

question is 'Who's in charge'? So its somewhat like the feud

between the Trotskyites and the Stalinists in the 1920's and

30's. Because the reach of Wahaabi Madrassas is so great, you

have all over Pakistan, as well as the West Bank and in allot of

other parts of the world, little boys being taught hatred

essentially. Now that produces a situation in which by shelling

out essentially a billion dollars a day at seventy dollars a

barrel of oil, for imported oil, and since allot of that money

218

goes to the Middle East, you and I shouldn't have any question

about who is paying for the other side of this long war that we

are in. If you want to know who is paying for those Madrassas in

Pakistan or the West Bank to teach those little boys to hate,

just next time you go to a filling station, before you get out to

charge your gasoline and credit card, turn the rear-view mirror

just a few inches, so you are looking into your own eyes. Now you

know who is paying for those little boys to be taught to hate.

The situation we have with the Wahaabi's of Saudi Arabia is not

too far from what would be the case if Ferdinand and Isabella and

Torquemada running the Spanish Inquisition were still around in

Spain and Spain drilled down and found 25% of the worlds oil

under Spain. Ferdinand and Isabella turn to Torquemada and they

say "We know that you like to pick the pope and pick the head of

the Lutherans and the Evangelicals and the President of Notre

Dame and that’s all fine with us, here's six, seven, eight billion dollars a year, just go to it. That’s the kind of problem the world, would hypothetically have if Torquemada and the

Inquisition were still around and that’s the kind of problem

we've got with the Wahaabi's of Saudi Arabia.”

Corporate Media Censorship of

Scarcity Conflict Terrorism Connection:

“The insurance industry, which is a key barometer of these things, has reached the conclusion that whatever your politics

are on [climate change], the costs of extreme weather are so

great and the patterns over the last couple of decades are so

distinct that the corporate establishment absolutely must

recognize these risks.” - Paul Barrett, Bloomberg BusinessWeek reporter621

“We didn't find many climate change deniers in the insurance industry. They probably have a commercial interest in taking the

risks seriously.” - Chris Nicholson, Bloomberg News

[334] Jill Fitzsimmons (14 May 2013): Nightly News Covered the Royal Family More

than Climate Change in 2012630; Media Matters:

[334.1] Even during the warmest year on record in the U.S., the nightly news programs combined devoted only 12 full segments to climate change. By contrast, these programs dedicated over seven times more coverage to the royals in 2012.

[334.2] The disparity was greatest on ABC World News, which dedicated 43 segments to the royal family and only one to climate change. NBC Nightly News wasn't much better, devoting 38 segments to the royals and only 4 to climate change. CBS Evening News covered climate change the most -- in 7 segments -- but still less than its 11 segments on the royal family.

[334.3] This ongoing imbalance was illustrated just last week when scientists announced that the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is set to surpass 400 parts per million, likely for the first time in human history. ABC World News and NBC Nightly News ignored the story, even as NBC found time to cover Prince Harry's visit to the United States.

[334.4] A previous Media Matters report found that the broadcast networks covered Donald Trump more than climate change in 2011.

[334.5] When the broadcast networks did report on climate change, they often failed to connect the dots between climate change and particular extreme weather events like last year's record-breaking heat, massive wildfires in the West, and Hurricane Sandy. Continuing this trend, these networks have failed to report on recent near-record flooding in the Midwest in the context of climate change, which has increased the frequency of large rain storms and exacerbated flood risks.

newspapers have entirely ignored how climate change has increased wildfire risks in the region.

[335.2] California's wildfire season kicked off early this year, with record temperatures, heavy winds and ongoing drought conditions fueling fires across the state that have threatened thousands of homes and businesses. California has already experienced 680 wildfires this year -- about 200 more than average for this period -- and the National Interagency Fire Service is predicting "above normal" potential for significant fires in northern and southern California this season. Meanwhile, the U.S. Forest Service is preparing for a higher number of significant fires across the West.

[335.3] Climate experts warn that rising global temperatures are already leading to more frequent and more severe wildfires and longer fire seasons in the Southwest, calling large fires like those in California "the new normal." But several major print outlets in California have failed to make this connection, even after Governor Jerry Brown noted the link Monday.

[335.4] The San Francisco Chronicle, San Jose Mercury News, Orange County Register and U-T San Diego have not mentioned climate change while reporting on the recent fires.

According to the National Climatic Data Center, 2012 was the warmest year in recorded history for the contiguous U.S. Yet despite these illustrations of climate change, the broadcast news outlets devoted very little time to climate change in 2012, following a downward trend since 2009.

[339] Shauna Theel (27 June 2012): Study: Kardashians Get 40 Times More News

Coverage than Ocean Acidification635; Media Matters:

[339.1] Carbon dioxide emissions are not just warming up our atmosphere, they're also changing the chemistry of our oceans. This phenomenon is known as ocean acidification, or sometimes as global warming's "evil twin" or the "osteoporosis of the sea." Scientists have warned that it poses a serious threat to ocean life. Yet major American news outlets covered the Kardashians over 40 times more often than ocean acidification over the past year and a half.

[339.2] Rising carbon dioxide emissions have caused the oceans to become around 30 percent more acidic since the Industrial Revolution, and if we do not lower the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, the ocean surface could be up to 150 percent more acidic by 2100. At that level, the shells of some plankton would dissolve, large parts of the ocean would become inhospitable to coral reef growth, and the rapidity of the change could threaten much of the marine food web. According to the National Research Council, the chemical changes are taking place "at an unprecedented rate and magnitude" and are "practically irreversible on a time scale of centuries."

[339.3] Despite a boom of recent scientific research documenting this threat, there has been a blackout on the topic at most media

226

outlets. Since the end of 2010, ABC, NBC, and Fox News have completely ignored ocean acidification, and the Los Angeles Times, USA TODAY, Wall Street Journal, MSNBC, CNN, and CBS have barely mentioned it at all.

[339.4] In sum, ocean acidification is a major threat to our oceans and the millions of people who depend on them for their food and livelihoods. Yet 77 percent of Americans say they have read or heard nothing about ocean acidification, according to a 2010 survey conducted for the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication.

[339.5] Of the 23 percent who say that they have heard of ocean acidification, only 32 percent understand that ocean acidification is caused by carbon dioxide. In other words, less than 8 percent of Americans understand the very basics of one of the largest threats to our oceans -- and a major culprit for that ignorance is the national media.

nearly twice as much as Climate Change636; Media Matters

[340.1] Climate change was almost entirely absent from the political discourse this election season, receiving less than an hour of TV coverage over three months from the major cable and broadcast networks excluding MSNBC. By contrast, those outlets devoted nearly twice as much coverage to Vice President Joe Biden's demeanor during

his debate with Rep. Paul Ryan. When climate change was addressed, print and TV media outlets often failed to note the scientific consensus or speak to scientists.

[340.2] Several Outlets Did Not Interview A Single Scientist. In election coverage of climate change, media outlets often turned to politicians and journalists rather than scientists. Scientists made up less than 6 percent of TV guests and just 5 percent of those quoted by print outlets on climate change in the context of the election. ABC, NBC, Fox News, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, San Jose Mercury News, Las Vegas Review-Journal, Denver Post, Dallas Morning News and the St. Petersburg-Tampa Bay Times, and the Des Moines Register did not interview or quote a single scientist on climate change.

[341.1] Arctic sea ice is declining much faster than scientists expected, which has important implications for the rate and impacts of climate change. But the major TV news outlets have largely ignored the record sea ice loss this summer, while making ample time to cover Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan's physical fitness.

[341.2] TV News Covered Paul Ryan's Workout Over Three Times More Than Arctic Sea Ice Loss. Since June, the major TV news outlets have devoted seven full segments to Paul Ryan's physical fitness and P90X workout routine, and only one to Arctic sea ice loss. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox News and MSNBC have each covered Paul Ryan's workout routine as much or more than Arctic sea ice loss. In total, TV outlets have discussed Ryan's fitness 66 times -- more than three times as much as Arctic sea ice.

[341.3] Cable Outlets Covered Ryan's Workout Over Six Times More Than Arctic Sea Ice Loss. The three major cable news outlets mentioned Arctic sea ice only eight times in four months. Three of these mentions were in the context of how ice impacts drilling expeditions in the Arctic, and the one mention on Fox News dismissed the problem entirely. Meanwhile, the cable outlets have discussed Ryan's workouts 53 times.

But a Media Matters analysis of media coverage of record-breaking heat in July finds that major television outlets rarely made the connection between heat waves and a changing climate.

[342.2] Only 14% Of Heat Wave Stories Mentioned Climate Change. In a study of

major media outlets, only 8.7% of television segments and 25.5% of print articles

reported on record-breaking July heat waves in the context of climate change.

Venus & Mars Climate Catastrophe departures from Habitable Zone:

[343] From what scientists know now, it is possible that Venus and Mars started out a lot like Earth. At some point in time, each planet followed a path that changed its climate. The transition was from Earth-like to either a cloudy inferno (Venus) or a frigid desert (Mars). Data from Venus Express and Mars express is now helping scientists determine if, when and why each planet passed the point of no-return.641

Earth’s precarious ‘Greenhouse Effect’ position in the Habitable Zone:

[344] The Habitable Zone: To be habitable, a planet the size of Earth should be within certain distances from its Sun, in order for liquid water to exist on its surface, for which temperatures must be between freezing point (0° C) and boiling point (100° C) of water.

[345] In the Wikipedia image, the dark green zone indicates that a planet the size of Earth could possess liquid water, which is essential since carbon compounds dissolved in water form the basis of all earthly life, so watery planets are good candidates to support similar carbon-based biochemistries.

[346] If a planet is too far away from the star that heats it, water will freeze. The habitable zone can be extended (light green color) for larger terrestrial planets that could hold on to thicker atmospheres which could theoretically provide sufficient warming and pressure to maintain water at a greater distance from the parent star.

[347] A planet closer to its star than the inner edge of the habitable zone will be too hot. Any water present will boil away or be lost into space entirely. Rising temperatures caused by greenhouse gases could lead to a moist greenhouse with similar results.

232

Kopparapu et al. New calculations show that Earth is positioned on the edge of the habitable zone (green-shaded region), boundaries of which are determined by the moist-greenhouse (inner edge, higher flux values) and maximum greenhouse (outer edge, lower flux values)

[348] The distance between Earth and the Sun is one astronomical unit (1 AU). Mars is often said to have an average distance from the Sun of 1.52 AU. A recent study led by Ravi Kopparapu at Penn State mentions that early Mars was warm enough for liquid water to flow on its surface. However, the present-day solar flux at Mars distance is 0.43 times that of Earth. Therefore, the solar flux received by Mars at 3.8 Gyr was 0.75 × 0.43 = 0.32 times that of Earth. The corresponding outer habitable zone limit today, then, would be about 1.77 AU, i.e. just a bit too far away from the Sun to sustain water in liquid form. Venus, on the other hand, is too close to the Sun.Kopparapu calculates that the Solar System’s habitable zone lies between 0.99 AU (92 million mi, 148 million km) and 1.70 AU (158 million mi, 254 million km) from the Sun. In other words, Earth is on the edge of runaway warming.

[349] Kopparapu says that if current IPCC temperature projections of a 4 degrees K (or Celsius) increase by the end of this century are correct, our descendants could start seeing the signatures of a moist greenhouse by 2100.

Kopparapu argues that once the atmosphere makes the transition to a moist greenhouse, not only are the ozone layers and ice caps destroyed, but the oceans would

233

begin evaporating into the atmosphere's upper stratosphere, resulting in the ‘greenhouse effect’.

Venus and the Greenhouse Effect:

[350] In Venus' runaway greenhouse effect a warning for Earth642, Sam Carana explains how the greenhouse effect affected Venus.

[351] Venus was transformed from a haven for water to a fiery hell by a runaway greenhouse effect, concludes the European Space Agency (ESA), after studying data from the Venus Express, which has been orbiting Venus since April 2006.

[352] Venus today is a hellish place with surface temperatures of over 400°C (752°Fahrenheit), winds blowing at speeds of over 100 m/s (224 mph) and pressure a hundred times that on Earth, a pressure equivalent, on Earth, to being one km (0.62 miles) under the sea.

[353] Hakan Svedhem, ESA scientist and lead author of one of eight studies published on Wednesday in the British journal Nature, says that Earth and Venus have nearly the same mass, size and density, and have about the same amount of carbon dioxide. In the past, Venus was much more Earth-like and was partially covered with water, like oceans, the ESA scientists believe.

[354] How could a world so similar to Earth have turned into such a noxious and inhospitable place? The answer is planetary warming. At some point, atmospheric carbon triggered a runaway warming on Venus that boiled away the oceans. As water vapour is a greenhouse gas, this further trapped solar heat, causing the planet to heat up even more. So, more surface water evaporated, and eventually dissipated into space. It was a “positive feedback” -- a vicious circle of self-reinforcing warming which slowly desiccated the planet.

[355] “Eventually the oceans began to boil”, said David Grinspoon, a Venus Express interdisciplinary scientist from the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, Colorado, USA. “You wound up with what we call a runaway greenhouse effect”, Hakan Svedhem says. Venus Express found hydrogen and oxygen ions escaping in a two to one ratio, meaning that water vapour in the atmosphere the little that is left of what they believe were once oceans is still disappearing.

[356] While most of Earth's carbon store remained locked up in the soil, rocks and oceans, on Venus it went into the atmosphere, resulting in Venus' atmosphere now consisting of about 95% carbon dioxide.

[357] “Earth is moving along the curve that connects it to Venus”, warns Dmitry Titov, science coordinator of the Venus Express mission. 642 Carana Sam (28 Nov 2007):

A FEW ANTHROPOCENTRIC JURISPRUDENCE ‘INNOCENCE FOR SALE’ ‘IRRELEVANT’ THIEVING STATISTICS

“An externality arises when a person engages in an activity that influences the well-being of a bystander and yet neither pays

nor receives any compensation for that effect” (Mankiw, Principles of Economics, Fourth Edition, p. 204).

“In the market, as firms work to maximize their profits, they strive to maximize revenues while minimizing costs. A sure-fire

way to minimize costs is to externalize as many of them as

possible. In practice, if a corporation wants to minimize the

costs of environmental protection, it can move its operation to

a nation with lax environmental laws. It can do the same or find

various “innovative” ways to avoid paying other costs, while

passing them on to the rest of society. In the context of

today’s economic game, this is a sound strategy. If the objective of the game is profit maximization, then a winning

player will externalize as many costs as possible.” - Rob Dietz, 30 April 2012, Negative externalities are the norm643, Resilience

“Once we know and are aware, we are responsible for our action and our inaction. We can do something about it or ignore it.

Either way, we are still responsible.” Jean Paul Sartre, as

quoted by Jochen Zeits, Executive Chairman of PUMA SE and Chief

235

Sustainability Officer of PPR; PUMA’s Environmental Profit and Loss Account for the year ended 31 December 2010644

[358] So a negative externality occurs when an economic activity produces harm, and

the people suffering from that harm receive no compensation. And if that externality

helped to generate a profit, effectively whoever receives that profit is in receipt of

stolen profit, for services other people, ecosystems or animals were not paid for.

[359] Since one of the easiest ways to maximize profits is to minimize the costs of

environmental protection, and finding innovative ways to avoid paying externality

costs, while passing them onto society; its safe to assume that a significant number of

winning corporations are those who have externalized as many costs as possible.

[360] As corporations get better and better at this game of externalizing environmental

and social costs, they accrue higher and higher profits and gain more and more

influence. This influence often extends into the legislative bodies and regulatory

agencies that could, in theory, prevent the inefficiency and injustice associated with

negative externalities. It has become politically challenging, to say the least, for a

government to place an externality-correcting tax on a corporate activity.645

[361] Here follow a few economic assessments of corporate externalities, a general fair

conclusion which can be reached from them, would be that for any major multinational

corporation in the top 100 of its sector, its externalities can be as little as 30% of

profits, to as much as more than 100% of profits. Using an average of 50% of profits, is

a fair generalization.

‘Innocence for Sale’ ‘Irrelevant’ Corporate Scarcity-Conflict

Thermodynamic Footprint Facts & Stats:

[383] A general fair conclusion about corporate externalities of any major multinational

corporation, in the top 100 of its sector, is that its externalities can be anything from

30% of profits, to as much as more than 100% of profits. Using an average of 50% of

profits, is a fair low generalization. 99% of the worlds multinational corporations are

traded on any one or more of the worlds stock exchanges, whose ‘fuck ecological finite

Thermodynamic Footprints:

[385] The Thermodynamic Footprint, expressed in Human Equivalents, quantifies in

general terms the amount of damage that our technological activity is causing to the

planet’s life-support systems; or the measure of the impact we are having on (or

damage we are doing to) our planet’s life-support systems.

[386] In Scarcity-Conflict terms it is a measure of our damage to the planet’s physical, biological and chemical makeup – through mining, manufacturing, construction,

habitat alterations, generation of wastes such as carbon dioxide, garbage and other

pollution; our contribution to Resource Scarcity induced Conflict.

247

[391] America: 60% of total emissions which have destroyed 20,900 km2 coral

reefs and 95 m livelihoods:

[391.1] America’s estimated climate change CO2 emissions amount to: 19% of total. American industry accounts for approximately 60% of those emissions.

248

[391.2] American production and consumption activity contributes 19% of climate

change emissions contribution to the ocean acidification and the destruction of coral

reefs worldwide, including the lost livelihoods of 500 million poor people. 19% of

500 million is: 95,000,000 (95 million).

[391.3] According to the NOAA670 the world’s shallow water coral reefs occupy approximately 284,300 square kilometers (110,000 miles2) of the sea floor. If all of the

world's shallow water coral reefs were placed side-by-side, they would occupy an area a

bit larger than the state of Texas.

[391.4] 19% equates to 20,900 miles2, or 54,017 km2, which is about the combined

size of all the following national parks: Yellowstone, WY; Yosemite, CA; Denali, AK;

the Everglades, FL; Grand Canyon, AZ; Grand Teton, WY, Great Smokey Mtns,

NC/TN; Redwood, CA;, Sequoia, CA;, Kobuk Valley, AK, totalling: 54,821 km2; or about

87% of the size of West Virginia (62,754.8 km2).671

American Industry: destroys 32,410 km2 of coral reefs and livelihoods of 57

million poor people living simply off the sea’s natural capital:

[391.5] American industry contributes 60% of America’s climate change emissions contribution to the ocean acidification and the destruction of coral reefs worldwide,

including the lost livelihoods of 500 million poor people. 60% of 95 million is:

57,000,000 (57 million).

[391.6] 60% of 54,017 km2 is 32,410 km2, which is about the size of the state of

Maryland (32,133.2 km2)

[391.7] What would the citizens of Maryland say if German industry’s pollution totally exterminated 100% of Maryland’s natural capital, turning it into a wasteland,

destroying everyone in Maryland’s ability to live simply off the land?

America’s 25 Richest Billionaires emissions destroy 2,268 km2 of coral reefs

and livelihoods of 3.99 million poor people living simply off the sea’s natural

capital.

[391.8] America’s 25 richest billionaire’s $ 316.35 billion wealth amounts to 0.55% of America’s wealth. However, the richest 5% consume 58% of the worlds total energy, then the richest 0.55 % consume approximately 7%.

[391.9] If America’s billionaires contribute 7% to American industry’s climate emissions, their contribution to destroyed livelihoods is 3.99 million, and destroyed

coral reefs is 2,268 km2, which is slightly larger than the Great Smoky Mountains

National Park in NC/TN (2,110.4 km2), or about 75% of Yosemite National Park in

California (3,080.7 km2). Imagine: 25 people’s carbon emissions totally obliterate and destroy a pristine coral reef, three quarters the size of Yosemite National Park.

[392] Germany: 04% of total emissions have destroyed 4,400 km2 of coral

reefs and 20 m livelihoods:

[392.1] Germany’s estimated climate change CO2 emissions amount to: 4% of total. German industry accounts for approximately 80% of those emissions.

[392.2] German consumption activity contributes 4% of climate change emissions

contribution to the ocean acidification and the destruction of coral reefs worldwide,

including the lost livelihoods of 500 million poor people. 4% of 500 million is:

20,000,000 (20 million).

(1,635.1 km2); Kobuk Valley, AK (7,084.9 km2); totalling: 54,821 km2; or about 87% of the size of West Virginia (62,754.8 km2).

250

[392.3] According to the NOAA672 the world’s shallow water coral reefs occupy

approximately 284,300 square kilometers (110,000 miles2) of the sea floor. If all of the

world's shallow water coral reefs were placed side-by-side, they would occupy an area a

bit larger than the state of Texas. 4% equates to 4,400 miles2, or 11,372 km2, which is

about 72% of Schleswig-Holstein (15,763 km2).

German Industry: destroys 9,100 km2 of coral reefs and livelihoods of 16

million poor people living simply off the sea’s natural capital:

[392.4] German industry contributes 3.2% of climate change emissions contribution

to the ocean acidification and the destruction of coral reefs worldwide, including the

lost livelihoods of 500 million poor people. 3.2 % of 500 million is: 16,000,000 (16

million).

672 http://coralreef.noaa.gov/aboutcrcp/news/featuredstories/may10/oilspill_coral/

251

[392.5] 3.2% of 110,000 miles2 / 284,300 km2 equates to 3,520 miles2, or 9,097.6 km2,

which is approximately the size of Puerto Rico (9,100 km2), or half the size of Saxony

(18,416 km2673).

[392.6] What would the citizens of Saxony say if German industry’s pollution totally exterminated 50% of Saxony’s natural capital, turning it into a wasteland, destroying

their ability to live simply off the land?

Germany’s 31 Richest Billionaires emissions destroy 1,820 km2 of coral reefs

and livelihoods of 3.2 million poor people living simply off the sea’s natural capital.

[392.7] Germany’s 31 richest billionaires $ 234.6 billion wealth amounts to 1.275% of

Germany’s wealth. However, the richest 5% consume 58% of the worlds total energy, then the richest 1,275 % consume approximately 20%.

[392.8] If Germany’s billionaires contribute 20% to German industry’s climate emissions, their contribution to coral reef destruction is 1,820 km2 (equivalent to the

island of Savai'I, one of the largest islands of Samoa; or 70% of Saarland (2,569 km2)),

and 3,200,000 (3.2 million) lost livelihoods.

[393] Britain: 03% of total emissions which have destroyed 8,529 km2 coral

reefs and 15 m livelihoods:

[393.1] Britain’s estimated climate change CO2 emissions amount to: 3% of total. British consumption activity contributes 3% of climate change emissions contribution

to the ocean acidification and the destruction of coral reefs worldwide, including the

lost livelihoods of 500 million poor people. 3% of 500 million is: 15,000,000 (15 million).

[393.2] According to the NOAA674 the world’s shallow water coral reefs occupy approximately 284,300 km2 (110,000 miles2) of the sea floor, placed side-by-side, they

would occupy an area a bit larger than the state of Texas. 3% equates to 3,300 miles2,

or 8,529 km2, about the size of North East England: Northumberland, County Durham,

Tyne and Wear, and Teesside (8,592 km2).

[393.3] What would the citizens of North East England say if England’s pollution totally exterminated 100% of their natural capital, turning it into a wasteland?

Britain’s 22 Richest Billionaires emissions destroy 597 km2 of coral reefs &

1.05 million poor people’s livelihoods.

252

[393.4] Britain’s 22 richest billionaire’s $ 105.4 billion wealth amounts to 0.55% of Britain’s wealth. However, the richest 0.55% consume 7% of the worlds total energy.

[393.5] If Britain’s billionaires contribute to 7% of Britain’s climate emissions, their

contribution to coral reef destruction is 597 km2, and 1.05 million lost livelihoods.

[393.6] 597 km2 is an area 17 km2 larger than New Forest675 National Park’s 580 km2.

[393.7] The New Forest National Park area is the largest contiguous area of unsown

vegetation in lowland Britain. It includes roughly: 146 km2 (56 mi2) of broadleaved

woodland; 118 km2 (46 mi2) of heathland and grassland; 33 km2 (13 mi2) of wet

heathland; 84 km2 (32 mi2) of tree plantations (inclosures) established since the 18th

century, including 80 km2 (31 mi2) planted by the Forestry Commission since the

1920s.

[393.8] Imagine New Forest turned into desert wasteland, due to 22 of Britain’s richest billionaires insistence of consuming – through mining, manufacturing,

construction, habitat alterations, and the generation of wastes such as carbon dioxide,

garbage and other pollution – the equivalent resources of 199 million hunter-foragers.

[394] South Africa: 01% of emissions have destroyed 2,843 km2 of coral reefs

and 5 m livelihoods:

[394.1] South Africa’s estimated climate change CO2 emissions: 1% of total.

675 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Forest

253

[394.2] South African consumption activity contributes to 1% of climate change

emissions contribution to the ocean acidification and the destruction of coral reefs

worldwide, including the lost livelihoods of 500 million poor people. 1% of 500 million

is: 5,000,000 (5 million).

[394.3] According to the NOAA676 the world’s shallow water coral reefs occupy approximately 284,300 km2 (110,000 miles2) of the sea floor, placed side-by-side, they

would occupy an area a bit larger than the state of Texas. 1% equates to 1,110 miles2,

or 2,843 km2, which is equivalent to the size of the following combined South African

National parks (2875 km2): Table Mountain National park (221 km2), Garden Route

National Park: Tsitsikamma, Wilderness National parks and Knysna National Lake

Area (1,210km2), Golden Gate Highlands National Park (340 km2), Augrabies Falls

National Park (820km2) and Mountain Zebra National Park (284 km2).

South Africa’s 4 Richest Billionaires emissions destroy 568.6 km2 of coral

reefs & 1 million poor people’s livelihoods.

[394.4] South Africa’s 4 richest billionaire’s $ 19.5 billion wealth amounts to 1.03% of South Africa's wealth. However, the richest 1.03% consume 20% of the worlds total

energy.

[394.5] If South Africa’s 4 billionaires contribute to 20% of South Africa’s climate emissions, their contribution to coral reef destruction is 568.6 km2, and 1 million lost

livelihoods.

[394.6] 568.6 km2 is about 50 percent of the Garden Route National Park:

Tsitsikamma, Wilderness National parks and Knysna National Lake Area (1,210km2)

[394.7] Imagine the Garden Route National Park turned into a desert wasteland,

due to 4 of South Africa’s richest billionaires insistence of consuming – through mining,

[395.1] The USGS: 2011 Minerals Yearbook – Germany677 states: “In 2011, Germany was a leading global exporter of industrial goods and services (including

processed and fabricated mineral products). The country’s mineral industry, however, depended heavily on imported mineral raw materials.

[395.2] “Germany’s position in the global mineral economy is predominantly that of

a major consumer and processor of minerals, and this role continues to evolve as

emerging economies grow and competition for mineral raw materials increases. In 2010

(the latest year for which data were available), Germany was the world’s third ranked consumer of copper, the fourth ranked consumer of aluminum and nickel, and the fifth

ranked consumer of tin; it was not among the world’s top five consumers of hard coal, lead, crude petroleum, crude steel, or zinc (Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und

rohstoffe, 2011, p. 9–28).

Columbian Coal:

[395.3] In 2011, Germany imported 6,450 metric tons of coal from Columbia.678

According to some statistics, more than 80% of human rights violations in the past 10

years have been carried out in mining and energy regions in Colombia. .. the giant

Cerrejón opencast coal mine in northern Colombia and its owners Anglo-American are

being accused of pollution, labour disputes, treatment of local communities and the

allegedly jeopardising the health of 13,000 local people.

[395.4] Colombia, November 2011 newsletter: Mining in Colombia: At What

Cost?679: Imagine a country rich in biodiversity—a country in which 11% of territory is

protected by natural parks that are home to species little known in other parts of the

world. A country with lush flora and one of the largest water reserves in the world. A

country with every possible climate and landscape, from Andean mountains to eastern

plains to Amazon forest; from the desert of La Guajira on the shores of the Caribbean

coast to the choppy waves of the Pacific coast. But imagine that in the last 10 years

concessions for more than 40% of this land have been awarded or solicited by mining

and crude oil companies.680

[395.5] Colombia is one of the most biologically diverse countries on the planet and

is home to more than 10% of the world’s plant and animal species. But today, 40% of Colombia’s land has been licensed to, or is being solicited by, multinational companies in order to develop mineral and crude oil mining projects. This fact reflects the

Colombian government’s intention to turn the country into a mining powerhouse, and entails significant consequences for the country’s ecosystem and rural communities.

[395.6] With the objective of stimulating development in the mining sector, the

government has promoted normative changes that have cleared the way for

intensifying mining activities. The government has declared mining an “activity for public utility and social interest,” for which the unilateral expropriation of private property is allowed. The government also declared protests against the mining

industry illegal, and has conceded mining licenses in protected areas such as

moorlands, indigenous reserves, and collective territories belonging to Afro-descendent

communities.

[395.7] Through its presence on the ground and its accompaniment of human rights

defenders, human rights organisations, and displaced and returning communities,

Peace Brigades International has been able to observe that communities of small-scale

farmers, indigenous peoples, and Afro-Colombians most directly suffer the

environmental, cultural and socio-economic damages caused by these megaprojects. In

fact, 80% of the human rights violations that have occurred in Colombia in the last ten

years were committed in mining and energy-producing regions, and 87% of Colombia’s displaced population originate from these places.

Russian Coal:

[395.8] In 2011 Germany imported 10,536 metric tons of coal (1,180 Anthracite, 239

Coke, 727 semicoke, 8,390 other) from Russia681.

[395.9] Environment, Conflict and Cooperation: The Russian coal industry - an

environmental and social disaster682, 13 June 2013: Expansion of the Russian coal

industry will increase greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, leading to a faster climate

change. One reason behind this expansion is the growing demand for Russian coal from

Europe’s energy giants, such as E.On and RWE, which are among the biggest consumers of Russian coal. But this expansion also comes at the cost of worsening

ecological and health impacts from an industry with an already dismal environmental

record.

[395.10] Vladimir Slivyak, Olga Podosenova (June 2013): Russian Coal Industry:

Environmental and Public Health Impacts683; EcoDefense! reports:

[395.11] Air, water, and soil pollution: The coal industry is a compound source of

negative impacts affecting the natural environment. Coal mining operations result in

air and water pollution and land disturbance (particularly, topsoil), as well as

generation of large amounts of waste.

[395.12] Each year, 360 million of cubic meters of air is blown into Russian mines and

over 200 million tons of water is pumped out; at open cast mines, between 300 million

and 350 million tons of rock is moved into waste rock dumps.

[395.13] In 2009, the specific emission intensity rate at enterprises engaged in

mining fuel and energy resources was around 5 kilograms per ton of coal produced.

Kemerovo Region, where populations of eight cities are predominantly employed by the

coal mining industry, has been the focus of the most detailed studies of the state of the

environment in Russia’s coal producing regions. The report On the State of the

Environment in Kemerovo Region in 2011 estimates the average concentrations of

certain harmful pollutants in the region’s atmosphere at levels exceeding by 2 or 3 times the maximum allowable limits established in the Russian Federation. In a

number of cases, these concentrations exceed permissible limits by as much as 18

times. In Kemerovo Region alone, the annual total emission rate for atmospheric

pollutants is estimated at over 1.5 million tons, and wastewater pollutant discharges

are estimated at over 0.5 million cubic meters a year.

[395.14] Another environmental problem associated with the coal mining industry is

methane emissions. Between 1.5 billion and 2 billion cubic meters of methane is

released into the atmosphere from underground and open cast coal mines. Methane, a

gas capable of igniting even in wet condition, is one of the principal greenhouse gases

affecting the world’s climate and contributing to global warming.

[395.15] Atmospheric Pollution: In the past decade, dust and gas emissions from

the coal mining industry have more than doubled, reaching 549,000 tons over a level of

233,000 tons ten years ago.

[395.16] Occupational Hazards: Classified as one of the most hazardous industries,

the coal industry is responsible for causing 84% of all occupational illnesses in Russia.

Records show that the main increase in occupational illnesses in Russia in 1996 to

2003 was accounted for by the health impacts of the coal industry: between 29.4 and

91.7 cases per every 10,000 employees, with the average range across Russia estimated

at 1.77 to 2.24 cases. As of 2002, according to information made available that year, the

coal mining industry yearly claimed between 180 and 280 lives.

683 http://below2c.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/russian-coal-industry-preliminary-english-version.pdf

257

[395.17] Impact on small indigenous peoples: The coal industry has become a real

“resource curse” for the indigenous populations of Russia’s coal mining regions. In the village of Kazas, Kemerovo Region, which is home to a small population of Shors

(Shorians), three coal pits are being developed. Coal mining activities have resulted in

disturbance of land – which the native population has historically relied upon for

subsistence – contamination of rivers, and devastation of forests and wildlife. Local

residents arenot compensated for the disturbed land nor for the damage done to their

traditional ways of life.

[395.18] Generation of Waste: The coal industry is a source of great amounts of

waste. In Kemerovo Region, coal mining is responsible for over half of all wastes

(55%).16 The area subject to reclamation in the region totals 4,938.5 hectares; no more

than about 160 hectares of land has been rehabilitated since the restructuring of the

Kuzbass coal industry. In the past ten years, the total area of lands disturbed as a

result of coal mining operations reached 6 hectares per each 1 ton of coal produced. In

Kemerovo Region, according to the regional Department for Natural Resources and

Environment, the percentage of disturbed lands is ten times the national average.

Displacement of massive amounts of rock (over 8 billion cubic meters in Kuzbass) to

the surface leads to land subsidence and elimination of the established ecological

communities.

[395.19] Reclamation: Reclamation of lands after coal mining operations is a

difficult process and, depending on the climate conditions in the area, creating new

ecosystems may not be possible for a period of at least 60 to 90 years. If the area is

characterized by an adverse climate – with the average annual precipitation of less

than 250 millimeters, for instance – reclamation efforts will yield no results: The

disturbed lands have effectively been turned into an arid, barren wasteland.

[395.20] Water Pollution: Tailings dumps contain large quantities of acid, which

may infiltrate waterways and aquifers, becoming another source of pollution

contaminating drinking water supplies. Cones of depression in Kemerovo Region alone

total an area of 2,000 square kilometers. According to the report On the State of the

Environment in Kemerovo Region in 2011, water quality in the rivers flowing through

the region’s industrial areas is assessed as “polluted” and “very polluted.” In certain cases, experts record “extremely high pollution” levels in the region’s rivers.

Indonesian Minerals:

[395.21] In 2011 Germany imported 182,960 metric tons of mineral ore (Ferronickel:

22,700, Nickel Ore: 490, Crude Metal: 5,770, Epsomite: 154,000) from Indonesia684.

684 USGS: 2011 Minerals Yearbook – Germany http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/country/2011/myb3-2011-gm.pdf

258

[395.22] In Java residents protest iron mine685, Irinews reports that farmers want

to feed their families, not be miners. One farmer Tukijo was imprisoned for abducting a

mining employee. The farmers wish to preserve the environment, and object to mining

pollution. Indonesia’s Central Bureau of Statistics, reports that mining accounts for 12 percent of Indonesia’s GDP; as Indonesia is one of the world’s largest producers of tin, copper and coal. Communities object because projects lack regulation. Twenty-five

farmers were shot, resulting in three deaths, during conflicts related to land disputes

in 2012, according to the Consortium for Agrarian Reform. In 2012, there were 7,196

land disputes, up from 2,791 in 2011, the National Land Agency, a government office,

recorded. Kulon Progo’s iron sand mining project, a joint venture between Australia’s Indo Mines Limited and Indonesia’s Jogja Magasa Mining, began in 2007 on a sliver of land owned by the Sultan of Yogyakarta. Local residents object because extracting iron

from the beach’s sand could weaken the barrier against salt intrusion from the ocean into coastal farms.

[395.23] Budy Resosudarmo, et al (2009): Socioeconomic conflicts in Indonesia's

Mining Industry; Exploiting Natural Resources686, report: In Indonesia, much of

the conflict is triggered by the allocation of mining permits or contracts to companies

on community or indigenous lands. Through the New Order period (the Suharto years,

1966–98), the national government granted many timber and mining concessions to

large-scale companies—mostly without communities’ consent or consultation and proper compensation—on lands where traditional and indigenous communities have

dwelled, earned their livelihood, and practiced their cultural heritage for generations.

As a result, conflicts abound when these mining operations trespass or excavate

communities’ villages, hunting areas, gardens, farms, or burial and sacred grounds. Problems also occur when large-scale operations force out artisanal local miners.

[395.24] Environmental Issues: Large-Scale Mining: Conflicts between local

communities (often supported by NGOs) and mining operators—both domestic and

foreign—typically occur over pollution or environmental destruction caused by mining

activities. In general, mining operators are accused of being irresponsible in managing

environmental damage caused by their activities.

[395.25] Foreign mining companies operating in Indonesia and other Southeast Asian

nations often apply a double standard of environmental criteria. The companies are

largely enabled by slack enforcement associated with a range of factors, including

inadequate capacity, ineffective regulatory oversight, and the absence of good

governance. Some of the environmental damage associated with large mining

companies in Indonesia is the result of tailing, waste rocks, and acid leaching. These

wastes poison surface water and groundwater with a high level of toxicity that harms 685 http://www.irinnews.org/report/97869/java-residents-protest-iron-mine 686 http://people.anu.edu.au/budy.resosudarmo/2006to2010/Mining_Reso.pdf

259

aquatic plants, wildlife, and other organisms. In the American-owned Freeport mine

area, one of the world’s largest gold and copper mine operations, sites of significance for the indigenous Amungme people, including Lake Wanagon, have been completely

destroyed and replaced by waste rock. The waste and pollution of the mine have also

caused vegetation smothering, heavy metal accumulation in plants and wildlife,

estuary habitat destruction, and contamination of the estuary food chain. An

Australian-owned gold and silver mining company operating in Central Kalimantan,

PT Indo Muro Kencana (a subsidiary of Straits Resources), has produced over 48

million tons of waste rock in its 14 years of operation.

[395.26] Open-pit mining, also known as opencast mining, open-cut mining, or strip

mining, is the common practice in Indonesia and creates significant environmental

destruction. The removal of trees, animals, and soil from a huge coverage area upsets

the ecosystem. Reclamation is only conducted in small areas where the soil has been

reallocated, and often it is done carelessly, for example by planting nonnative species.

Large ex-mine areas are abandoned without bringing in new soil, leaving the land

virtually infertile. Coal mining operations in Kalimantan are a particular concern,

since they cover a huge forest area.

[396] Thermodynamic Footprint of Germany’s 15 Most Profitable Companies: Scarcity-Conflict equivalent of 1.2 billion hunter-foragers.

[396.1] In 2010, the most profitable companies in Germany were: (1) E.ON 117.38

OBSTACLES TO IMPLEMENTING A SUSTAINABLE SECURITY

ECOLOGY OF PEACE SOCIAL CONTRACT:

[397] Citizens are Ecologically Illiterate on the urgent national security urgency of

(a) implementing Sustainable Security Ecology of Peace policies, limiting

procreation and consumption to below carrying capacity levels to mitigate

impending scarcity induced resource war conflict; and (b) electing Ecologically

Literate politicians to enact sustainable laws:

[397.1] Media’s Censorship of Overshoot-Scarcity-Conflict contextual information

in their reporting on socio-political scarcity and conflict problems resulting from

ecological overshoot. Media avoid references to population and consumption in

261

articles on urban sprawl, endangered species and water shortages (Maher). Media

Matters studies in the US show that Media avoid ecological overshoot and climate

change references in articles about recent 2013 wildfire coverage, Midwest flood

coverage. Media prefer covering celebrity gossip about the royal family,

Kardashians, Joe Biden’s and Paul Ryan’s workout, to serious reporting about

climate change, record Arctic Sea Ice loss, and ocean acidification.

[397.2] Media’s Silence/Censorship/Non-coverage of Scientific study results

advocating Sustainable Security (Walking the National Security – Scarcity &

Conflict -- Talk to Support the Troops): ‘Procreate/Consume below carrying capacity’.

[398] Tragedy of the Dunning-Kruger Duhmockery Commons:

[398.1] Even if a larger number of citizens were ecologically literate, Tragedy of

the Commons jurisprudence rewards and encourages conditional co-operator

ecologically literate citizens to join free rider citizens and be Taker Cheaters: to

cheat and steal resources from future generations and other citizens by procreating

and consuming above carrying capacity levels.

[398.2] Taker Cheater (conditional co-operators and free rider) citizens generally

elect Taker Cheater (conditional co-operators and free rider) Politicians.

[398.3] Stanley Milgram’s studies on obedience show that generally speaking 92% of citizens are conditional co-operators, of which 65% are free riders; which

only leaves 8% who are unconditional co-operators. Put differently, irrespective of

ecological literacy, if jurisprudence provides them the opportunity to cheat, by

procreating and consuming above carrying capacity limits, 65% free-riders will

cheat, and the conditional co-operators will cheat if conscious of the reality that

others are also cheating. Only eight percent will unconditionally abide by their

ecologically literate duties to the commons principles. Consequently Hardin

predicted in Tragedy of the Commons, that ecologically illiterate jurisprudence

which punishes those who obey their duties and responsibilities towards the

commons, and rewards cheater procreation and consumption, would ultimately

result in the “disappearance of all conscience in the long run.”

[398.4] Dunning Kruger Effect:

the unskilled are unaware? Further explorations of (lack of) self-insight among

262

[398.5] Morris, Errol (20 June 2010). "The Anosognosic's Dilemma: Something's

Wrong but You'll Never Know What It Is (Part 1)691". New York Times.

[399] Nash Equilibrium Game Theory:

[399.1] International Cooperation requires politicians who are unconditional co-

operators. (Astrid Dannenberg (2012): Climate Change Negotiations: Game Theory

and Experimental Evidence; Presentation; Scott Barrett and Astrid Dannenberg (13

Nov 2012): Game theory suggests current climate negotiations won’t avert catastrophe; Gronewold Nathanial (20 Dec 2012) Game Theory: Climate Talks

Destined to Fail; Scientific American.)

[399.2] Stanley Milgram’s studies on obedience show that 92% of citizens are conditional co-operators, of which 65% are free riders; which only leaves 8% who

are unconditional co-operators. Consequently, universal franchise One Man, One

Vote means that conditional co-operators and free rider citizens elect conditional co-

operators and free rider politicians.

[400] Electing Ecologically Literate Unconditional Co-operator politicians requires only licensing Ecoliterate ‘unconditional co-operators’ citizens with a license to vote.

Legislating, Endorsing or Enforcing Ecological Overshoot is

“Opinions don't affect facts; but facts should affect opinions, and do, if you are rational.” - Ricky Gervais

692

[401] It is relevant that Ecological laws dictate that any conscious species living in

an ecosystem with finite resources, that wishes to avoid ecological overshoot, and

the scarcity conflict consequences of overshoot, should enact legislation that limit

their citizens procreation or consumption from transgressing cultural carrying

capacity.

[402] It is relevant that Civilized Patriarchy’s Legal Matrix constitutions enable the licensing of numerous behaviours, but avoid licences limiting procreation and

consumption to below carrying capacity levels to avoid ecological overshoot, and the

scarcity-conflict environmental and national security consequences of ecological

overshoot.

264

[403] It is relevant that if legislators were sincere about legislation to limit conflict

resulting from ecological overshoot induced scarcity would explore legislation to

determine: (A) Procreation footprint: how many children per family maintains

procreation levels below carrying capacity and leads to sustainable peace? (B)

Production Footprint: How much exploitation and production of non-renewable and

renewable natural resources maintains production below carrying capacity and

leads to sustainable peace? (C) Consumption Footprint: How much individual

consumption maintains consumption levels below carrying capacity and leads to

sustainable peace?

[404] It is relevant that legislators, lawyers, courts and judges defy the laws of

ecology with a massive ‘fuck you’, by legislating, interpreting and enforcing Legal Matrix doctrine, that encourages citizens to breed and consume above cultural

carrying capacity limits.

[405] It is relevant that legislators, lawyers, courts and judges know that legislation

which ignores carrying capacity limits results in ecological overshoot, surplus vote-

cannon-fodder populations, economic hierarchical inequality, and scarcity induced

local, national and international conflict.

[406] It is relevant that legislators, lawyers, courts and judges know that legislation

which enables ecological overshoot in multi-cultural/ethnic/religious communities,

manifests as inter-cultural / ethnic / religious conflict

[407] It is relevant that legislators, lawyers, courts and judges know that inter-

cultural / ethnic conflict is a great divide and conquer tool to manipulate the

proletariat to perceive other cultural/ethnic proletariat as the source of their own

overshoot-scarcity-conflict misery.

[408] It is relevant, that Honest Civilized Patriarchy Social Contract jurisprudence

would clearly and explicitly inform its citizens that any Constitution or legislation

that grants citizens the inalienable right to breed and consume without regard for

ecological carrying capacity limits; is ‘War is Peace’ jurisprudence, which socio-

economically and psycho-politically benefits the socio-political, corporate and media

elite.

[409] It is relevant that an honest Civilized Patriarchy War-is-Peace Enlistment

Agreement would inform any citizen that they are Enlisting to become a cannon

fodder soldiers to be dispatched to plunder other nation’s resources, because their

own country’s ecologically illiterate social contract jurisprudence does not require their fellow citizens to procreate and consume below their nation’s carrying capacity levels.

265

[410] It is relevant that an honest Civilized Patriarchy War-is-Peace Classified

Information Nondisclosure Agreement would explicitly inform a Military or

Intelligence Employee that they are expected to keep the thieving, plundering and

mass murder culling consequences secrets of the American civilized patriarchy

socio-political elite, endorsed by the legal matrix jurists, and an Ecologically

Illiterate constitution; to themselves.

[411] It is relevant that in Civilized Patriarchy’s Legal Matrix world, soldiers tasked with the national security conquering and culling responsibilities, of

conquering to thieve another tribe’s resources, and culling population ‘useless eaters’ and ‘oxygen thieves’ surplus population excesses; on behalf of the conquering and culling profiteering demands of civilized patriarchy’s civilian corporate and political elite; constantly find themselves confronted with the

conquer-or-culling “Befehl ist Befehl” Catch 22 dilemma: To obey, or not to obey, a ‘Lebensraum’, ‘Difaqane’, ‘Operation Freedumb’ and the thousands like them, order to conquer or cull; since a lawful conquer or culling order, by one group of left/right

conquer-and-multiply legal indulgence salesmen, can easily be reinterpreted to be

an unlawful order, by another group of opposing left/right conquer-and multiply

legal indulgence salesmen; presenting a Catch 22 dilemma from which there is no

legal escape; when appearing before AnthroCorpocentric Jurisprudence Legal

Indulgence Salesmen Judges; with little concern for requiring civilian politicians

and legislatures to implement a social contract that enables fully informed

consenting Enlistment Agreements and Classified Information Nondisclosure

Agreements.

[412] It is relevant that Extensive Environment/Overshoot-Scarcity-Conflict

documentation from military and intelligence agencies, united nations and

governments, NGO’s and academic reports, etc, collectively document how legislative failure to restrict humanity’s procreation and consumption to cultural carrying capacity limits, and Legal Matrix Indulgences to Corporations: Socialized

and refugees, and impending threat multiplier aggravation of crisis of ‘scarcity-

conflict’ death spiral consequences.

[413] It is relevant that the public in general are ecologically illiterate of current

Overshoot-Scarcity-Conflict consequences of their procreation and consumption

lifestyle’s, such as climate-resource-scarcity-conflict and refugees, and impending

threat multiplier aggravation of crisis of ‘scarcity-conflict’ death spiral

consequences; and hence unable or unwilling to make informed environmental

decisions, as a result of the Media’s Censorship of Overshoot-Scarcity-Conflict

contextual information in their reporting on socio-political scarcity and conflict

problems resulting from ecological overshoot.

[414] It is relevant that Citizens, citizens rights organisations and legislators serious

and sincere about reducing the devastating current environmental and national

security climate-resource-scarcity-conflict and refugees consequences from civilized

patriarchy’s legislative failure to restrict humanity’s procreation and consumption to cultural carrying capacity limits, and Legal Matrix Indulgences to Corporations:

Socialized Corporate Externality Costs: Trillion Dollar Thefts from Global Natural

Peace legislation to determine: (A) Procreation footprint: how many children per family

maintains procreation levels below carrying capacity and leads to sustainable peace?

(B) Production Footprint: How much exploitation and production of non-renewable and

renewable natural resources maintains production below carrying capacity and leads to

sustainable peace? (C) Consumption Footprint: How much individual consumption

maintains consumption levels below carrying capacity and leads to sustainable peace?

[415] It is relevant that the AnthroCorpocentric Prosecutors and Judges should be

expected to confront and amend the errors and delusions upon which

Anthrocorpocentric jurisprudence was founded; and should release Military National
