The World Wildlife Fund's Polar Bear Lies

Do you feel the leaked information from a global warming alarmist organization is meaningful?



No doubt you’ve seen the ads: The music is dramatic. The scene is tragic. The message emotional. Polar Bears, holding on for dear life to bits of ice, their artic habitat destroyed by Global Warming. And the narration tells you of the tragic fate of the bears, all because of man and his selfish destruction of the earth. Of course, the ad ends with a plea for funds to help the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) protect the bears and stop Global Warming. Cute, fuzzy animals always do the trick.

Trouble is, it’s all a lie. Not one word of the ad is true. Polar Bears are not endangered. There is no indication of any reduction of their populations. In fact, they are actually being hunted by locals who have to live with them in an effort to keep their populations down. Of 13 Polar Bear populations, 11 are thriving and growing.

The real agenda behind WWF’s Polar Bear campaign is to stop drilling of American oil and to shackle the United States with the UN’s Kyoto Climate Change Treaty. The policy is called Sustainable Development.

Using the Polar Bear, which WWF and the Sierra Club managed to get listed on the Endangered Species (ESA) list last year, the greens can grab control of the U.S. economy, controlling energy production.

Last year, in a Congressional hearing on the listing of the Polar Bears, Congressman Don Young of Alaska said testimony by Bush Administration officials “clearly indicated the overriding goal was to use the ESA as a tool to stop energy production in any and all states.” Under questioning, former U.S. Fish and Wildlife Director Dale Hall confirmed that if a coal-fired power plant in Arizona were seeking a federal permit, with the Polar Bear listed as protected by the ESA, the Fish and Wildlife Service would have to consult on the permit. In other words, a power plant located thousands of miles away from Polar Bear habitat would be considered a danger – because of global warming. How could any industry be possible? And that’s just the way WWF wants it.

The truth is now rapidly coming out. There is no man-made global warming – it’s a lie. There is no threat to Polar Bears - it’s a lie. Drilling American oil is not a danger to the environment – it’s a lie. And yet, WWF continues to spread the lies and fan the fear.

It is time we fight back against these zealots who put anything else on earth ahead of man. Taking donations based on lies is fraud and WWF should be called on it. We should call on the federal government to take away WWF’s non-profit status. We should complain to any television network that runs their lies. We should demand that such false advertising be pulled from the airways.

The World Wildlife Fund is dangerous to our way of life – to our very civilization. We should no longer just treat them like some nice folks with a different point of view. Political debate is one thing, outright fraud is criminal.

EnvironMENTALists . . .
should be exposed for the criminal that they are. The so-called "endangered species act" has done more to jeopardize human life than the supposed "protections" that it confers on "wildlife". Use the RICO (Racketeering Influence Criminal Organizations) laws to prosecute these b*st*rds. One only has to look at the case in Washington state where "government ecologists" were caught red-handed planting lynx fur to keep wilderness areas free from logging. They got a slap on the wrist for their actions. The ruination of the farmers' livelihoods in the Klamath Falls area, ostensibly to protect a fish are another example of government abuse. It is a violation of FEDERAL LAW to kill certain species of animals even if human life is threatened.
It's funny how these environMENTALists will go all out to protect an animal but when it comes to HUMAN LIFE, most of them are pro-abortion.

Heck We got climate change everyday here in Colorado, HOT one day Freezing the next. Go figure, but it's been like this for hundreds of years. Global warming my a--.
