For ‘Earth Hour’ Let There Be Light

There’s a dark side to ‘Earth Hour’ coming our way again 8:30 local time, tonight. With the help of an unknowing public, environmentalists like those in the World Wildlife Fund, (WWF) stretch their arms into private homes and businesses to switch off the lights of the world.
Through millions of dollars in advertising, WWF is the leading advocate in encouraging average folk to turn off all electrical devices and sit in the dark. Acolytes of “Earth Hour”, caught up in environmental hypocrisy, light candles and celebrate reducing their non-existent “carbon footprint”. Man made-global warming having been all but toppled off the public radar screen by the advance of truth and commonsense, environmentalists are more desperate than usual this year to plunge the world into night darkness.

factnotfantasy writer and Canada Free Press (CFP) columnist Alan Caruba shines a bright light on what Earth Hour really is:
“Earth Hour is an example of the enormous funding available to the Greens and of their continued assault on the world’s population to encourage and maintain its message that the Earth is imperiled by mankind’s activities, i.e., the use of energy. Earth Hour is a huge piece of international propaganda. Millions of dollars and man-hours have been expended to get the lights turned off from the Eiffel Tower to the Empire State Building, the Leaning Tower of Pisa to Australia’s Opera House. “You may have noticed there is no longer any reference to “global warming”, That’s because a growing percentage of Americans have concluded that global warming is a hoax.”
Turning off the lights on WWF’s advice “to encourage American cities to prepare for the costly impacts of climate-related extreme weather” is akin to hanging garlic over your door to keep the vampires at bay. Lemming-like, some householders douse their lights to advance an already failing global warming agenda. But some like Wendy Ellis in Las Vegas turn on more lights. “I systematically go through my house, turn on every single light (including floodlights outside), and blast John Philip Sousa on speakers inside and out,” wrote Ellis in an email to CFP. “I have considered renting a floodlight, and shining it into the “Springs Preserve”, a $600 million plus waste of money by the Las Vegas Valley Water District. You see, they hold Earth Hour festivities there. Right. Everybody DRIVE their automobile over to the Springs Preserve, so they can symbolically turn off the lights. “All of it is symbolic, however it illustrates a larger scheme. It is a test to see whether the people will follow a “suggestion”. If enough do, then control over human behavior has been demonstrated. What else will people do when other orders are issued?” The dark side of Earth Hour via one of its co-founders would have been smothered were it not for savvy and courageous writers like American Thinker’s Thomas Lifson.
“Ira Einhorn was on stage hosting the first Earth Day event at the Fairmount Park in Philadelphia on April 22, 1970. Seven years later, police raided his closet and found the "composted" body of his ex-girlfriend inside a trunk. “A self-proclaimed environmental activist, Einhorn made a name for himself among ecological groups during the 1960s and '70s by taking on the role of a tie-dye-wearing ecological guru and Philadelphia's head hippie. With his long beard and gap-toothed smile, Einhorn - who nicknamed himself "Unicorn" because his German-Jewish last name translates to "one horn"  -advocated flower power, peace and free love to his fellow students at the University of Pennsylvania. He also claimed to have helped found Earth Day.” (American Thinker, April 22, 2011). “Einhorn is far from the first scoundrel to wrap himself in the banner of concern for the environment, of course. But it is appropriate on Earth Day to remember that elevating environmentalism over human beings is a poisonous doctrine. “Hat tip: Jerome J. Schmitt “Update from Rosslyn Smith: “I dislike it when vicious mountebanks like Einhorn became infamous while their victims remain nameless.  Her name was Holly Maddux, and her family waited a long time to see justice done.   She was an effervescent wisp of a blond from Tyler, Texas and a graduate of Bryn Mawr. Holly had ended an often abusive five year relationship with Einhorn by moving to New York.  She only returned to Philadelphia because when she called to tell Einhorn that it was over for good and that she had a new boyfriend, Einhorn threatened to throw all her belongings out on the street if she didn't hurry back to retrieve them. She did and was never seen again.” 
The ideal for safe communities is light and not darkness. Murderers, rapists and thieves prefer to operate under the cover of darkness. Vermin crawl by night. Tonight at 8:30 local time: Let there be light. (And God said Let there be light. 2 Cor. 4-6 and there was light).
