Scientists cheer holocaust wish (professor who wants 90% of human race exterminated by ebola)

What would happen if a world-renowned scientist and evolutionary ecologist told hundreds of his colleagues that 90 percent of the human race needed to be wiped out by exposure to ebola or some other deadly virus?

Apparently, according to a scientist who claims to have witnessed such a remarkable event one month ago, the fiend would get a standing ovation and an award.

Forrest Mims III

That's the story being told by Forrest Mims III, a member of the Texas Academy of Science, chairman of its environmental science section and editor of the Citizen Scientist.

The speech Mims heard was delivered by Eric R. Pianka, a lizard expert from the University of Texas. It is recounted in detail in the latest issue of the Citizen Scientist.

"We're no better than bacteria," Mims quoted Pianka as saying in his condemnation of the human race, which, he claimed, is overpopulating the Earth.

The only way to save the planet for the rest of the species is to reduce the human population to 10 percent of its current number.

Eric R. Pianka

"He then showed solutions for reducing the world's population in the form of a slide depicting the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," writes Mims. "War and famine would not do, he explained. Instead, disease offered the most efficient and fastest way to kill the billions that must soon die if the population crisis is to be solved. Pianka then displayed a slide showing rows of human skulls, one of which had red lights flashing from its eye sockets. AIDS is not an efficient killer, he explained, because it is too slow. His favorite candidate for eliminating 90 percent of the world's population is airborne Ebola (Ebola Reston), because it is both highly lethal and it kills in days, instead of years. However, Professor Pianka did not mention that Ebola victims die a slow and torturous death as the virus initiates a cascade of biological calamities inside the victim that eventually liquefy the internal organs."

Mims notes that when Pianka finished his remarks, the audience of fellow scientists and students burst out in sustained applause.

During a question-and-answer sessions, the audience laughed approvingly when Pianka offered the bird flu as another vehicle toward achieving his goal. They also chuckled when he suggested it was time to sterilize everyone on Earth.

"What kind of reception have you received as you have presented these ideas to other audiences that are not representative of us?" asked one member of the audience.

"I speak to the converted!" Pianka replied.

Mims said he spoke glowingly of the police state in China that enforces a one-child policy.

"Smarter people have fewer kids," Mims quoted Pianka as saying.

Following the question-and-answer session, Mims says "almost every scientist, professor and college student present stood to their feet and vigorously applauded the man who had enthusiastically endorsed the elimination of 90 percent of the human population. Some even cheered. Dozens then mobbed the professor at the lectern to extend greetings and ask questions."

Mims notes five hours later, the Texas Academy of Science presented Pianka with a plaque in recognition of his being named 2006 Distinguished Texas Scientist.

"When the banquet hall filled with more than 400 people responded with enthusiastic applause, I walked out in protest," he writes.

Mims, an electronics author, has written some 60 books that have sold 7.5 million copies.

Mims said he spoke glowingly of the police state in China that enforces
a one-child policy.

"Smarter people have fewer kids," Mims quoted Pianka as saying.

If the good professor is a true believer...he probably would have
followed this up with a declaration that he has only two, one or
zero kids.

Even though I have a small sample size, all the enviro-oriented
academics I know have at least 2 kids, most more.

Makes me wonder if they are in a competitive breeding eugenic mindset.
But say the exact opposite on stage.

This coming from a scientist. Gees. WTF??????????? Must be all that pot smoking and LSD use.

He isn't worth second guessing - see his own website.

Evolution ping!

We don't have the professor's name.

Well, here's a start at filling in the blanks:

This souunds provocative enough that some conservative commentator will
do some fact-checking.

Years ago I had a teacher who said the same thing-almost. He opined the population needs to be culled. Disease was almost licked and war did not kill enough people.
At first glance the idea of a mass killing of humans sounds like something a mad scientist would say.
Closer examination tells us exploding populations puts a strain on resources. What is the limit?
Is it more humane to expect a meteorite causing mass extinctions ala, dinosauers?

University of Texas??

Steers, queers & idiots.

We move forward with science and technology, or we suffer one of these fates. Funny how every "impending crisis" is staved off. While the little wuss boys weep and say we are doomed, there is another group of people living in reality working to make things better. Scientific progress really confounds the chicken littles.

I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet,

Of course, Agent Smith dressed better.

but he's a member of the elite 10%. If he gets so much as a stomach ache or a hang nail he would run to the emergency ward.

That probably goes too far, but a planet with only 1 billion people, like it was in 1900 would be a lot more comfortable.

I imagine it would be about as comfortable as it was in 1900.

Forest Mims is a straight up genius. I have almost ALL of his circuit books.

I haven't heard much from him since the two good electronic mags went under.

It doesn't really go into it but is Mims against this whackjob who wants to kill off 90% of the world's population? I certainly hope so. The distinguished prof can say the line forms behind him and kick off the cleanse of the planet by starting with himself. Of course he probably thinks the 10% left will need his guidance.

Madness. They all think they are gods. Mad Queens; "Off with their heads!" as Charles Lutwidge Dodgson might put it.

It was Charles Dodgson writing then as author Lewis Carroll who perhaps most keenly observed the famous debates over Darwin's theories between "Darwin's Bulldog" Thomas Husley and Bishop Wilberforce at Oxford in 1860. His high satires today are known as children's fantasies -- and they are!

But what they are also are subtle sarcastic commentaries and even prophecies of what was being born there in the potent and powerful intellectual community of Oxford, England in those days. The birth of a philosophical deconstructionism and atheistic relativism packaged around Darwinism that would come come to nearly overwhelm all moral sensibility amoung scientists and the academic elite by our day!

WND is recycling a story picked up on Drudge and posted here earlier: Meeting Doctor Doom has the story, with Freeper follow-ups confirming Mims' unhappy account.

True.

As twisted, satanic, evil, Machiavellian as the globalists who built this and are rapidly manipulating the world's citizens toward it:

From:

HERE: http://home.sprynet.com/%7eeastwood01/geoguide.htm

A vivid object lesson is coming our way . . . Sumatra was just a hint . . .

The object lesson . . . that man on his own, apart from God . . . will only result in disaster--disaster against nature and against man himself. We are not adequate to create utopia. We can shake our fists at God. We can even give God the finger. God waits. Eventually, He allows us to reap what we have sown.

We NEED GOD for Life, eternal Life, joy, love, peace, health, wholeness . . .

Whether we are willing to admit it, or not.

Those who disagree will be given abundant evidence to the contrary. Some will still curse God and die in rebellion.

Twisted is, imho, an inadequate label.

Such folks are likely demonized and at least very evil in their hearts.

They have deified Nature while denying and ranting against The Almighty God they have denied--all as Scripture predicted.

Mims walked out, so I would say he is against this psycho.

The man's avocation is ecology. His training is in biology.

Big Media keeps telling me humans may indeed by wiped out by this new Bird Flu?

TU sure has some nutty professors.
