Sierra Club faces rocky future as extremists push out greens


By SHAWN McCARTHY


NEW YORK -- Anti-immigration activists some with loose connections to alleged white-supremacist groups, have launched an aggressive bid to take over the Sierra Club, one of the most respected environmental groups in North America.

As directors of the Sierra Club's Canadian affiliate watch with growing alarm, a group of 13 former presidents of the U.S. club has called on its board to take action to thwart the takeover drive of the organization and its $95-million-a-year (U.S.) budget. In an interview, former Sierra Club president Robbie Cox said the 750,000-member organization will be destroyed if "outside forces" succeed in gaining control of the board of directors in April's elections.

"We are extremely concerned about the continued viability of the club," Mr. Cox said.

Elizabeth May, executive director of the Sierra Club of Canada, said her board is watching the election battle in the United States with growing concern.

While the Canadian organization is not directly affiliated with the U.S. club, it does pay a licensing fee for the use of the name and has agreements on maintaining consistent policies.

The immigration issue is not a new one for the Sierra Club. For years, the organization has championed world population control as a key element in global environmental protection. But a vocal minority in the club is urging a stronger focus on population control within the United States itself, including measures to decrease immigration.

In a 1998 referendum, Sierra Club members rejected calls to adopt what critics said was an anti-immigrant position. Now, a group calling itself Sierrans for U.S. Population Stabilization is supporting three new candidates for the board of directors, telling backers that their election would allow virtual control of the 112-year-old club.

One SUSPS member, Brenda Walker, posted an article to the website http://www.vdare.com, which has been accused of promoting hate. In her article, she slammed U.S. immigration policy and urged readers to join the Sierra Club in order to vote for SUSPS candidates. That posting has since been picked up by hard-core extremist websites.

Mr. Cox, who remains on the Sierra Club board, said his group intends to hold a conference call with the entire board of directors this week and urge them to take steps to ensure that long-standing members, few of whom bother to vote in club elections, understand the threat to the organization and are mobilized to beat it back.

"Our concern is that this flirtation with anti-immigration opens the Sierra Club to this kind of vulnerability, and it enables these other right-wing groups to use us and our good name to advance their own extreme agenda," he said.

Ms. Walker's web posting has also prompted the Southern Poverty Law Center, an Alabama group that tracks racist groups, to become involved. In an open letter last week, SPLC co-founder Morris Dees announced he is running for the Sierra Club board in an effort to stop the "greening of hate."

"If the U.S. were to move in that direction [of opposing immigration], we'd either have to sort it out or change our name," Ms. May said. She insisted that concerns about immigration are misplaced, since movement to North America represents only a small proportion of global migration and a tiny fraction of the globe's growing population.

SUSPS supporters say the extremist label is a "smear tactic" and insist their concerns have nothing to do with racism or racists.

Ben Zuckerman, a long-time Sierra Club member and proponent of U.S. population control, argued that the growing population of his country, which consumes 20 per cent of the world's resources, is dangerous for the global environment and that it is immigration alone that fuels this growth. Mr. Zuckerman, an astronomer at the University of California at Los Angeles, said "political correctness" is preventing environmentalists from addressing the issue.

This isn't some kind of political satire??

So how is this different from Ronald Reagan being endorsed by the Klu Klux Klan twice?

I won't say where I got this, but here is what the Sierra Club is facing...

Not surprisingly, all of the groups instrumental in the takeover effort have been funded by Scaife foundations.

Homo Jew Threatens Takeover Of Sierra Club Board
Anti-Immigration Environmentalist Fight To Keep Morris Dees Out

Montgomery, Alabama -- Bisexual Jew Morris Dees, backed by the stable of young, homosexual and Jewish men and woman at the Southern Poverty Law Center, is struggling to takeover the board of directors of the Sierra Club as a clique of anti-immigration activists around VDARE struggle to bring the Sierra Club into conformity with the hopes and aspirations of millions of Americans.
On October 21, 2003, Jewish homosexual Mark Potok, who edits the Southern Poverty Law Center's often woefully inaccurate "Intelligence Report", wrote a letter complaining that John Tanton, in conjunction with Sierra Club Director Ben Zuckerman, was plotting an internal coup of the group to align it with "right wing" "haters". Tanton is a publisher of an English translation of the French anti-immigration novel The Camp Of The Saints.

The mostly homosexual Jews at the Southern Poverty Law Center have been seeking to destroy American society for several decades, and have become on of the wealthiest private spy organizations in the country as a result. Recently, an internal FBI memo suggested that the SPLC Jews may have paid someone who played a role in the Oklahoma City Bombing, and others have suggested the SPLC deliberately encouraged or paid for the OKC bombing in order to derive profit from an "anti-militia" campaign. Activists on the left and right have suggested that the SPLC's "Intelligence Reports" and media panics have had more to do with their desire to make money than any substantial political agenda.

Real concern for the environment and life is by necessity paired with an opposition to the forces of death and destruction. The Jews, as the literal children of the death god, are thus always opposed by anyone who has a real concern with the environment or maintaining the balance and order of healthy life. Morris Dees, who is the descendent of a carpetbagger named Seligman, if elected to the Sierra Club board, would continue to poison the environmentalist movement with Jewish globalist and liberal garbage.

You know, I have a friend who works for Morris Dees at the SPLC, and she is neither Jewish nor homosexual.

This is a joke, right? Not that it wouldn't break my heart to see the Sierra club in ruins.

The SC was forced to get into politics when the Bureau of Reclamation wanted to dam the Grand Canyon and Dinosaur National Monument.

Throughout their history, they have been at heart, a conservative (in the true sense) organization, especially when it came to checking Federal power and corruption.
