Environmental Extremists Must Be Exposed
By John Stokes, In My View

Yes Virginia, There is a Fourth Reich.

It has its roots in the same deep ecology and environmental extremist movement as the infamous Third Reich. Today, they work hand-in-glove with the fourth estate. Only the uninformed would also deny the existence of the "green nazis" and that they are operating in this state. They address themselves by various names but the underlying philosophy is the same for them all. You are free to visit their Web site at www.nazi.org. It is complete with green swastikas and other "green nazi" symbols.

Yes, we know what your response to this article will be. It is extremely predictable. "My relatives or I fought the Nazis in World War II and they killed 6 million people."

You're preaching hate." I suggest if good people would have stood up to the eco-fascists and the "green nazis" in the '20s, you would not have had to fight them in the '40s. For evil to prevail good people need do nothing. If you don't know history you are bound to repeat it. Yes, we also know you will espouse the wonderfulness of the groups you're involved in and support. After all they do "good things." I can only say, you don't have a clue who is running and financing these so-called good groups.

Unfortunately, the majority are being duped. The elite at the top have a track record and the players have a well-established history and agenda.

The current Fourth Reich and "green nazis" have destroyed more American industries, jobs, natural resources, economic opportunities, affordable housing, affordable manufacturing, outdoor lifestyles, and have implemented relocation of the populous by destroying the job base, created poverty among the citizens, are responsible for economic regulatory recessions, diminished energy supplies, diminished electrical supplies, corruption of our government agencies, have packed the courts and intimidated and corrupted politicians -- more damage upon America than the Third Reich ever dreamed possible.

As with the Third Reich, the Fourth Reich has obtained control and gone after the young people through our educational system. They now have a two-generation track record. They operate within our schools and recruit just as any cult does. They welcome the distraught, wanting to belong, lonely, and those seeking approval.

Now the essence of my response to the story that was run in the Missoulian on Feb 25 and picked up throughout the state and chain of Lee newspapers, as well as various letters to the editor.

First, the article was predictable. I've had numerous hit pieces done on me in the past and have learned when talking to the media to record the interview. The complete unedited audio interview is available through our Web site, www.z600.com. If one listens one will find at no time was a boycott called for.

In the ensuing weeks the responsive hyperbole again was predictable. From: boycotts are bad, I should open a dialogue, we should all sit down and talk out our differences, I refuse to talk, I'm responsible for folks losing their jobs, I'm responsible for the collapse of the eco-tourist industry, I'm poisoning water supplies, threatening to bomb the capital, giving out the names and addresses of "green nazis" so our listeners may burn them out of their homes, use of the word hate no less than 50 times in print, a California hate radio broadcaster brought here 18 months ago and financed by multi national corporations (good one), and anonymously threatening advertisers.

Death threats upon me and the staff, and as of March 19, property damage to the broadcast facilities. The point to all of this of course is an attempt to destroy the messenger, and destroy the message. All very predictable. Indeed, these so-called good greenies, eco-fascists, are a noble lot.

I make no apologies for exposing the businesses financing these green extremists groups. Nor should any business on their contributors business list rail against this type of publicity. I did not hear one of them object to being the benefactor of green dollars when it suited their financial gain. Now, when hard-working families and resource industry sensitive employees and consumers make an informed choice as to where to spend their limited dollars and they chose not to spend them in a business that contributes to green extremist organizations out to eliminate their jobs, well, boo hoo.

Whether they know it or not, these "green nazi" groups like AWR and others completely support HR 488, creating 20 million more acres of wilderness and eliminating all commercial logging.

They are also a conduit for Earth First! You might also find out a little bit about the Wildlands Project, another group linked to AWR. Mike Bader of AWR also stated I refused to open a dialog with him. How pathetic. Last June, Mr. Bader was invited upon my radio station for three hours. Fifteen minutes from air time he called and canceled and has never rescheduled.

All total, there are less than 2,000 of these mainstream eco-fascists operating here in the state. You couldn't get 500 of them together on a college campus on a good day. In fact most of their money is from out-of-state sources, and for the most part, they operate out of post office boxes, Web pages, and slick propaganda campaigns and fundraisers. They are less than 1 percent of our population. Unfortunately, they have the willing press in their front pocket. As stated earlier, the Forth Reich and the fourth estate work hand in glove.

Most of these eco-fascist groups, and there are hundreds of them operating here in Montana, have never been audited or examined by the appropriate authorities. We have investigated and uncovered the truth about these so-called enviro groups. Without exception, every one examined has been violating the Revised Rules of the Internal Revenue Service and Revenue Montana and are not exempt from taxation as they profess. We are calling upon you the readers, listeners, and of course the governor, to demand an immediate investigation and audit of their books and records to investigate the illegal activity that is not allowed for a 501 (c) 3 non profit organization.

Not one has ever been audited. We are talking millions of dollars. Additionally, we will seek to make all donations and donors of public record. If you are embarrassed about your donation or don't want it made public, I suggest you don't do it.

I neither hate nor fear the "green nazis" and their various eco 501 (c) 3 organizations. They invoke no more emotion from me than a bug hitting the windshield. They are extremely predictable.

It is high time agencies, groups, politicians, and government officials quit cowering to these eco-fascists, under the guise of mainstream warm and fuzzy enviro groups who only want to do good for the children. They are truly less than 1 percent. As far as hurting the eco-tourist industry, my response is more than simple. "Keep your green nazi #@$ out of Montana. We've had enough of you."

Accordingly, I'm sure they have had enough of me. Well, you ain't seen or heard nothing yet, FOE. We intend to peel the Fourth Reich like a grape with the facts, the truth, public opinion, and use legal due process to rid our schools and the state of these eco-fascists.

As Bruce Babbitt, the former secretary of the Interior, said "We shall identify our enemies and obliterate them."

I agree.
