The disgraceful episode of banning DDT by the liar and fraud Rachel Carson
Resulted in probably 50 million dead people. Mostly women and children.
The Mother of the Environmental movement was Rachel Carson. Her pathological lies resulted in the banning of DDT due to her fraudulent book, Silent Spring. Published 5 years before the first earth day Carson would wreck unbelievable havoc on peoples lives. They would not be fully uncovered until the early 2000s in J Gordon Edwards, DDT: A Case Study In Scientific Fraud. (Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, Volume 9, Number 3, Fall 2004).
The pathological liar Rachel Carson would be exposed eventually but not before an enormous pound of flesh was exacted from humanity.
The World Health Organisation would not resume spraying of DDT until 2006. Those fifty years of the DDT ban have cost humanity immensely, killing millions of people and condemning many millions more to a lifetime suffering and ill health.
“DDT provides the most effective, cheapest and safest means of eradicating disease-spreading mosquitoes, but its use has been virtually banned since 1972 when a EPA decision was based more on Rachael Carson’s book “Silent Spring” than on sound science.”(WSJ, DDT Hysteria Has Killed Millions of People, 19 Nov 2005)
J Gordon Edwards put his money where his mouth was and as a popular trick in his lectures, would eat a full mouthful of DDT right out the can to prove how non-carcinogenic it was, even to humans and even at such doses. Edwards died at the ripe age of 84, almost a full 10 years higher than the average life expectancy of an Ohio resident.
To cut a long story short Rachel Carson lied about almost everything in her book Silent Spring which was used to justify the banning of DDT which had all but eradicated malaria from developing nations. Leaving millions of mostly women and children to die. The WHO would overturn the ban on DDT in 2006 and resume DDT spraying.
Michael Crichton expressed this outrage succinctly enough
“I can tell you that DDT is not a carcinogen and did not cause birds to die and should never have been banned. I can tell you that the people who banned it knew that it wasn’t carcinogenic and banned it anyway. I can tell you that the DDT ban has caused the deaths of tens of millions of poor people, mostly children, whose deaths are directly attributable to a callous, technologically advanced western society that promoted the new cause of environmentalism by pushing a fantasy about a pesticide, and thus irrevocably harmed the third world. Banning DDT is one of the most disgraceful episodes in the twentieth century history of America. We knew better, and we did it anyway, and we let people around the world die and didn’t give a damn.”(Michael Crichton, Crichton: Environmentalism is a religion, 15 Sept 2003)
What more is there to say? Another “win” for Green hysteria.
Todays greens defend Carson with revolting historical revisionism and gaslighting like the below
“Rachel Carson never called for the banning of pesticides. She made this clear in every public pronouncement, repeated it in an hour-long television documentary about Silent Spring, and even testified to that effect before the US Senate. Carson never denied that there were beneficial uses of pesticides, notably in combating human diseases transmitted by insects, where she said they had not only been proven effective but were morally “necessary”.(New Scientist, Silent Spring didn’t condemn millions to death, 6 September 2012)
But what could she expect after writing the pathological lies in Silent Spring? Which in turn was promoted by every spectrum of liberal media, endless speaking engagements for Carson and ended in a very predictable ban of DDT in 1972.
New Scientist is likely right though: Silent Spring probably didn’t condemn millions to death. The plan to ban DDT probably would’ve happened one way or the other. The American imperialists just used Carson’s fraudulent book as an excuse and her as the public face of it then ostracized, silenced and demonised all those that did speak out about it.
Scientists did speak out at the time but were silenced by liberal media.
“Thomas Jukes—a British-American biologist who had been a professor of biophysics at the University of California—fought tirelessly against Carson. However, despite these interventions, the liberal establishment quickly moved to silence and ostracize any serious opposition to Carson.”(Janet G West, Rachel Carson: Whore of Babylon, 30 Nov 2023)
One in the eye for capitalism, they killed millions of mostly children, retarded the productive forces in developing nations and fulfilled the goals of the Kissinger Report/NSSM200.
