Save the Crabbies, Not the Economy! A Lament from the Resident Job By Peter West

     At this advanced state of the decay game, we should not be surprised to see projects that give people jobs sacrificed at the altar of the environment:

“The community of Christmas Island could face an economic collapse after a proposal to expand the island’s phosphate mine was knocked back over fears of the impact to the island’s wildlife, including its world-famous red crabs. Phosphate Resources Limited has been mining on the Indian Ocean Territory for more than 100 years, but claims it needs to clear more crown land to access new deposits in order for the operations to remain viable. Under the expansion, the company wanted to clear an additional 6.83 hectares of land to undertake exploration drilling to determine the extent of more phosphate resources, in what has been described as a pristine area of the island.”

     It is to be expected. What may happen next because of the weakness and cowardice of the ordinary people in not taking a stand, is that all criticism of environmental and climate change issues will be punished by gaol sentences. I expect, along with those criticising immigration and multiculturalism, the death penalty will be reintroduced, at some point, and some from the cult have suggested this. Would public torture of the politically incorrect then be on the agenda, taking us back to the good old days of the Dark Ages? I would not be surprised. Bet you something like this happens within 20 years. Wait, it is illegal to bet, so take that back! Still, there is hope. Russia might just put us out of our misery with hypersonic, unstoppable missiles, but we may not be worth the cost of one the way things are going:

     Still, we have no option but to march on, laden with arthritis, to the bitter end.
