Excerpts from Chapter 8 of the novel : The Green War Chronicles A Novel of Ecoterrorism, Collectivism and Corruption in America. by William Jud
"But what I remember most is the closing ceremony when all of us gathered outside by the big green cross with Jesus in a wolf mask." "You all know German composer George Frideric Handel's Hallelujah Chorus music theme, often performed at Christmas: 'King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.' Well, we changed that to wolf song. Ah - Lay - WOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo - Yah, Ah - Lay - WOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo - Yah, and everyone just went wild." "You could have heard our wolf song a mile away, rising up in praise to Gaia. I tell you, it was magnificent!" "You could even hear neighborhood dogs joining in. Magnificent! Glorious! Praise Gaia!" "We also made progress in the political arena." "To date, we have mailed literature packages to about one million unfortunate persons mired in the outdated, old-line religions, to raise awareness that Gaia, God, Holy Earth, is a living, feeling and caring organism, and that people's actions are causing disease, destruction and pain to our holy planet." "We urge people to demand that elected officials at all levels of government pass laws to stop greedy money-grubbing Capitalists from despoiling our fragile planet. Evil money and evil business profits are evil relicts of evil and outdated evil Christian Capitalism and are an evil that must no longer be tolerated." "We tell folks, NEVER even think of drilling for oil and natural gas in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge, no matter how high gasoline prices rise and how short the gasoline supply becomes." "NEVER, EVER mine and burn coal to make electricity." "Coal is decomposed remains of ancient Christian sinners who drowned in Noah's flood." "Coal releases evil and polluting fossilized Sin Ghosts into Gaia's air when burned." (Fossilized Sin Ghosts? That was a bit much for Comrades Celestial and Ozone who discretely rolled their eyes and stifled a laugh. Coal is fossilized decomposed Christian sinners? Must have been gazillions of ancient sinners. Hmmmm. Isn't coal supposed to be the remains of dead dinosaurs or swamp plants or something? Puh-leez don't say Sin Ghosts cause Global Warming.) Comrade Greenfellow continued. "Sin Ghosts live deep in the ground close to the Fires of Hell and cause Global Warming when they are released into the air by burning coal or petroleum products such as gasoline and natural gas." "That's why you should NEVER cut a tree to make paper or lumber. NEVER dig a mineral from the ground. NEVER pump oil or natural gas." "IMMEDIATELY shut down all those environmentally evil nuclear reactors in electricity generating stations worldwide." (Does that mean natural gas is Gaia's farts, Celestial wondered. Is this guy playing with a full deck? Never cut a tree, because fossilized Sin Ghosts are released by burning coal? Did his momma name him Maximus Non Sequitur?) "Human consumption of natural resources is sacrilege." "More and more people are joining our cause and demanding that government run ranchers off their land so the ranch can return to Gaia's Glorious Wilderness." "People are demanding that logging stop, first in our Holy National Forests, and then everywhere, including privately owned land. Paper and lumber are not worth killing even one of Gaia's Holy Trees." "We're helping to regulate oil companies and coal mining companies and metal mining companies out of business in America and forcing them to move offshore. We'll pursue them no matter where they go, until they stop gouging Gaia's skin." "We're making fantastic progress, and I ask you, Comrades, to help us keep the money coming, so we can continue our holy work." Comrade Reverend Maximus Greenfellow turned toward Comrade Celestial and smiled. "Yesterday at Earth Day, we received a gift of $250,000 from Comrade Celestial's Greenmoney Foundation." Celestial Warrior winced inwardly, but smiled back, and waved to the assembly. "We must continue to receive large donations of money, and of paper and printing equipment and ink to print our literature, and media exposure, and even basic necessities such as food, and natural gas to heat our buildings and water and to cook food for our volunteer workers, and water to drink and wash clothes, and electricity to run our printing presses and keep the lights on, and gasoline and oil for our vehicles, and all those other items we need to keep our people productive and our buildings open. We would be hard-pressed to continue without those basic necessities." "Thank you, and Praise Gaia!" Comrade Greenfellow, a.k.a. Reverend Maximus Greenfellow, organizer and leader of the local church of earth worshipers, flushed and sweaty after his impassioned oration, pulled out his handkerchief and wiped his forehead "Thank you all," he said again, and sat down. ----------------------------------- (Later in Chapter 8) "Add laws that define keeping non-perishable emergency food on hand as 'illegal hoarding' and you can send World Government Food Police to confiscate personal food supplies. Starvation will further weaken residents in giant 'Ant Nest' urban housing. Population reduction to sustainable levels in urban areas will be accomplished easily." (Something that Comrade Maximus Greenfellow said earlier kept nagging at Celestial Warrior. The Noah story is in the Old Testament near the beginning of Genesis. If she recalled correctly, Noah lived and died way earlier than Jesus, so how could there be ancient Christian sinners who decomposed into coal after drowning in Noah's Flood? Christianity started with Christ, not with Noah. She'd have to find her Bible and look this up, when she got home. And coal was plant remains, wasn't it? Not decomposed ancient Christian sinners.) Comrade Ozone finished and sat down. Next up was Comrade Greengator, in charge of regional political effort to capture the leadership of United States political parties. ------------------------------------------ (End of Chapter 8) Shuffling of chairs. Papers going back into briefcases. Meeting participants departing as unobtrusively as possible, even Comrade Greengrab Ranchbreaker, who appeared somewhat glassy-eyed and worn out from being bombarded with verbiage. Lights off, door locked, meeting finished. Comrade Celestial Warrior got into an old, beat-up car parked in the building's closed garage and drove to another building, where she changed back into business clothes, and transferred to a newer but still quite plain vehicle. Then she drove to her office, dark and closed for the night, parked in the executive space, greeted Mike the night watchman, and took the elevator up to her 95th floor CEO office. Like all committee meetings, this Cell meeting had been contentious, contradictory, long-winded, and sometimes boring. But such meetings are absolutely essential to advancing the Socialist World Government takeover of America. Celestial Warrior, now metamorphosed into Fisca Grant, Chairman, Owner, and Chief Executive Officer of a major media conglomerate, returned to her office in corporate headquarters for a quick scan of the day's reports before going home. The Research Department had copied an interesting article from Discover Magazine and attached a note saying this would make a good story for the newspapers and interviews for television. The article spoke about geophysicist J. Marvin Herndon's theory that the exact center of the earth is a ball of white-hot uranium, five miles in diameter, that is a natural nuclear reactor. According to Herndon's theory, heat from this natural nuclear reactor at the earth's core provides the primary energy that ultimately drives volcanic activity, continental drift, and the earth's magnetic field that deflects charged particles from the sun. Without the magnetic field, those charged solar particles would long ago have blown away earth's atmosphere and killed all life on earth. Without recycling of Carbon Dioxide by volcanoes, all green plants that feed on Carbon Dioxide would have died long ago. Natural fluctuations in energy output due to build-up and dissipation of earth's natural nuclear reactor waste may explain observed variations in polarity and intensity of the earth's magnetic field, Herndon said. The article writer said that evidence for Herndon's theory is interesting and supportive, but not conclusive. Earth produces about four terawatts of energy, which is what computer models predict that a natural reactor of white-hot uranium five miles in diameter at the earth's exact core center should produce. Other planets such as Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune are known to radiate about twice as much energy into space as they receive from the sun, so perhaps a planetary uranium core reactor is the norm rather than the exception. Heat from the Earth's core reactor could provide deep, primary power that may ultimately drive volcanic eruptions, and studies of volcanoes in Hawaii find the Helium 3 isotope mixed with the normal Helium 4 isotope in gas and in basalt rock created by volcanic lava. Helium 3 is a nuclear fission byproduct, not normal Helium, and forms in uranium-powered nuclear reactors. A wide grin began spreading across Fisca's face. She would not pass this information along to Reverend Maximus Greenfellow, whom she had long ago pigeonholed under 'Satan's Useful Idiots.' Max was effective and advanced the Gangreen Environmentalists Organizations and United Nations World Government Socialist cause, but otherwise he was a 'Turkey' and a babbling windbag. That Turkey, Maximus Greenfellow, said at the cell meeting that Global Warming is caused by Sin Ghosts that live deep in the earth close to the Fires Of Hell and are released when coal or oil is burned. Max also said we must IMMEDIATELY shut down all those environmentally evil nuclear reactors in electricity generating stations worldwide. Therefore, according to geophysicist J. Marvin Herndon's uranium core theory and what Max said at the meeting, Mother Earth Gaia has a heart of environmentally evil and sinful Nuclear Hell. So, Comrade Reverend Maximus Greenfellow and his band of Merry Green Wolf-Woofers worship a nuclear reactor. Fisca Grant, civic leader, media mogul, billionaire, Gangreen Environmentalist Organizations eco-terrorist, and Socialist secret agent, leaned back in her chair and began giggling like a six-year-old schoolgirl.
