Les Jones: Jeff Weise: Not Just a Nazi, an Eco-Nazi!

News > Jeff Weise: Not Just a Nazi, an Eco-Nazi!

The news reports about Red Lake killer Jeff Weise have called his political views "right wing." But if you look at the Nazi.org Web site he was posting to, you find out that radical environmentalism was part of their views.

The website, run by the Libertarian National Socialist Green Party, has a "Nationalist Link Directory" that lists a series of fringe environmental groups, including Earth Liberation Front, which is described on the site as "the leading domestic terrorist group."
The neo-Nazi website also links to articles referring to humans as a "cancer digesting the Earth" and stating that the "maximum sustainable population of the Earth is about 1 billion people." Other articles deal with "Deep ecology" and "Green Anarchy."

Here's a quote from the group's policy page, "Active and Passive Approaches to Environmentalism" (no link; I don't want to be associated with these guys):

Societies move from a leadership position to a passive one, into democracy, and finally with the collective ignorance only a crowd can create, they vote themselves into oblivion. Since authoritarianism is coming anyway, isn't it time the environmental movement got ready to seize the day and direct it in an appropriate direction?

Eco-Nazis. I hate those guys!

Obviously, any political faction can have a radical, even violent wing, and it would be unreasonable to blame any political faction for what happened in Lake City. Anyway, people of Weise's age rarely have well thought-out political views. I just think it's curious that the media has characterized Weise's views as right-wing in light of the Libertarian National Socialist Green Party's radical environmentalism.

The real National Socia list Party was heavily influenced during its early years by Ludwig Klages, who's views were similar in some respects to those of Naess and other Deep Ecology philosophers. Isn't it curious that the media always characterizes Nazis as "Nazis" in light of their radical environmentalism? But that's typical of the bias and distortion that we always get from liberals, so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

You might want to let the Foothills Land Conservancy and Lamar Alexander and John Duncan and Richard Nixon and Teddy Roosevelt know that concern for the environment automatically disqualifies a person from being "right-wing" and automatically makes them liberal. Obviously you have to be some sort of soft-headed pants-wetter to want to breathe air and drink water that does not up your odds of developing cancer. Real men just suck up the mercury and say "thank you".

My point is, when people describe, e.g., George Bush, as right-wing, I don't think they mean he's a hardcore environmentalist.
