Terror Verde
Of far more legitimate concern than the impending subversion of world order by greenwashed commie terrorists is, of course, that the fabrication of such threats contributes to a blanket delegitimization of environmental activism.
In December 2011, Mary Anastasia O’Grady, editorial board member at the Wall Street Journal and patron saint of the Latin American far right, cautioned that the ongoing anti-mining protests in Peru highlighted “risks to development coming from a hard left operating under the guise of ‘environmentalism.’ ”
The sinister designs of protesters “calling themselves environmentalists” were exposed via the following factoid: “Wilfredo Saavedra, president of something called the ‘Environmental Defense Front,’ also happens to be a former member of the terrorist Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement, which advocates Cuban-style communism.”
Given that O’Grady’s previous warnings of Cuban-style communism have suggested that the current US State Department is in cahoots with Fidel Castro, political observers might be forgiven for not lapsing into panic-induced seizures.
