This is a complex issue, but it is important to note that even though reduc-

AN D L OOK AT SOM E ALARM IN G ST AT IST IC S

It has been predicted that so–called GLOBAL WARMING


will affect the Arctic, as well as the African and Asian
countries, North America, and Europe.

Consequently, it is expected that dozens of millions of


refugees will be created, and that famine will affect 80
to 200 million people.

We should all be reminded that many experts view


GLOBAL WARMING as purely SPECULATIVE.

We are also advised to get a grasp on factual existing


problems that plague our entire planet.

As we speak, we have real problems, with poverty,


AIDS, polluted drinking water, and Malaria, which are
afflicting and killing many times more people than
global warming ever will.

Hunger is the most extreme form of poverty.

Presently, 854 million people across the world are hun-


gry.

Every day, almost 16,000 children DIE from hunger–


related causes ― almost 6 MILLION CHILDREN DIE
ANNUALLY due to hunger.

The latest statistics on the world epidemic of AIDS and


HIV indicate that 39½ million people are living with it.

AIDS deaths for 2006 were 2.9 million, despite recent


improvements to access to anti–retroviral treatment.

Equally serious is the fact that a world–wide shortage


of fresh drinking water affects forty per cent of the
planet’s population.

Each year, 11 MILLION PEOPLE DIE of diseases related


to water that is not clean enough for consumption.

Finally, some observers believe that Malaria acutely af-


flicts MORE THAN 515 MILLION PEOPLE PER YEAR.
515 MILLION PEOPLE is MORE PEOPLE than live in Canada, the United States, and Mexico,
combined.

Two–thirds of all Malaria cases occur in Africa.

Additionally, Malaria causes more than 1 MILLION DEATHS PER YEAR, principally among
children under the age of five years and pregnant women.

At least eighty–six per cent of these deaths are in Sub–Saharan Africa.

Globally, an estimated 3,000 women, children, and infants DIE from Malaria every day.

Twelve billion dollars per year is lost to Malaria.

In some countries, more people die of Malaria than HIV/AIDS ― and recently, a new study
showed that people who contract Malaria become more likely to spread HIV.

For over one–half century, DDT has been used as part of the solution to one of the world’s
great problems.

Through the policies of depraved indifference of Environmental Terror Organizations, DDT


has been prohibited in a manner that can only be described as « Eco–Manslaughter ».

E R AD IC AT IN G MALAR IA WITH DDT

Malaria has wrought an enormous economic toll, by incapacitating otherwise productive


people.

The burden of Malaria costs Sub–Saharan Africa an estimated twelve billion dollars per year.

Thousands survive the disease with brain damage, thus keeping millions at home to care for
them.

It is the principal reason why people in Africa are living in abject poverty.

Both North America and Europe have not harboured Malarial mosquitoes since the 1940s.

This was accomplished through the use of a range of public health measures, as well as
generally increasing health and living standards.

In fact, the beginning of the decline of Malaria was due principally to the drainage of
swamp–land and the removal of mill–ponds.
It had been known since 1914 that Malaria could be
controlled by fluctuating water levels.

Nonetheless, DDT contributed to the final eradication


of Malaria in the developed world.

In 1955, the World Health Organization ( WHO ) began


a program to eradicate Malaria throughout the ENTIRE
world.

The program RELIED GREATLY upon the application of


DDT to control mosquitoes, with a practice called DDT
Residual House Spraying.

As a result of this program, by 1967, Malaria was


eradicated from all developed countries where Malaria
was endemic.

Large areas of tropical Asia and Latin America were


freed from the risk of infection.

In Sub–Saharan Africa, the campaign was only


launched in three countries since it was not considered
feasible in the others.

Swaziland and Mozambique are examples of countries


that have very successfully REDUCED Malaria infestations with DDT.

Throughout the years, spectacular DECREASES in Malaria infections and deaths were seen
after implementing an extensive anti–mosquito program with DDT.

Here are five examples. ―

In 1970, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences summed up the situation with the following
excerpt from their book Life Sciences. ―

« To only a few chemicals does man owe as great a debt as to DDT. [ … ] In little more
than two decades, DDT has prevented 500 million human deaths, due to MALARIA, that
otherwise would be inevitable. »

The situation concerning Malaria eradication can be summarized with the three following
points ―

• DDT contributed to the final eradication of Malaria in the developed world

• Spectacular decreases in Malaria infections and deaths were seen after im-
plementing anti–mosquito program using DDT

• Our modern day world of politicized science refuses to admit that DDT has
prevented hundreds of millions of deaths with its life–saving eradication of
human diseases

For over one–half century, DDT has been used as part of the solution to one of the world’s
great problems.

Through the policies of depraved indifference of Environmental–Terror–Organizations, DDT


will be prohibited in a manner that can only be described as « Eco–Manslaughter ».

Additionally, these Enviro–Terror–Organizations prefer seeing money wasted on investigat-


ing myths like so–called GLOBAL WARMING rather that solving some REAL world problems,
such as with POVERTY, AIDS, POLLUTED DRINKING WATER, and MALARIA, which are afflict-
ing and killing many times more people than GLOBAL WARMING ever will.
Force Of Nature presents THE WHOLE TRUTH FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE from National Organization Responding Against HUJE that
seek to harm the Green Space Industry (NORAHG). It is a series of Reports destined for the Green Space Industry, the Environmental Terror
Movement, Governments, and the Media, nationwide across Canada, the United States, and overseas. The information presented in Force Of
Nature has been developed for the education and entertainment of the reader by providing a sequence of historical events WITH COMMEN-
TARY. The neutrality of these Reports might be disputed. Don’t thank us. It’s a public service. And we are glad to do it.

HUJE are identified on the basis of their statements, activities, affiliations, and whereabouts. Even though each Enviro Lunatic Culprit is a mis-
guided adversary, each still deserves our respect. The use of the terms Lunatic, Maniac, Culprit, Terrorist, or Basterd are not accusations of any
legal wrong doing. Force Of Nature is simply holding Enviro Lunatic Activists accountable for conspiring to change public policies that TERROR-
IZE, HARM, and THREATEN the Green Space Industry.

HUJE is a term used to describe Enviro Lunatic Activists that routinely concoct FEAR MONGERING, FRAUDULENT LIES, MISCONCEPTIONS, CO-
ERCION, THREATS, DECEPTIONS, TERROR, and PARANOID CONSPIRACIES that are DESIGNED to SCAM and DECEIVE the public into believing
there is some IMAGINARY DANGER with conventional pest control products. HUJE also SCAM and DECEIVE Government Officials into the
NEEDLESS, SENSELESS, and MALICIOUS CONSPIRACY to PROHIBIT conventional pest control products that are FEDERALLY LEGAL, SCIEN-
TIFICALLY SAFE, TOTALLY IRREPLACEABLE, and ABSOLUTELY INDISPENSABLE.

HUJE have created LOSS OF REVENUES, BUSINESS FAILURES, BANKRUPTCY, and UNEMPLOYMENT, inflicting DESPAIR and DESTITUTION for
THOUSANDS of hapless victims throughout the Green Space Industry. The DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE of Lunatic Culprit Terrorist Basterd HUJE
is viewed as a form of TERROR, HARM, and THREAT against the Green Space Industry.

This Report provides NO guarantee regarding accuracy or completeness. In no event shall Force Of Nature be liable for any incidental or conse-
quential damages, lost profits, or any indirect damages. Force Of Nature is TOTALLY INDEPENDENT of any trade association or business oper-
ating within the Green Space Industry. The events, characters, companies, and organizations, depicted in this Report are not always fictitious.

Force Of Nature, and its various incarnations, is the brainchild of William H. Gathercole and his colleagues. Mr. Gathercole is a principal FOUN-
DER of the Modern Professional Lawn Care Industry in BOTH Ontario and Quebec. He holds a degree in Horticulture from the UNIVERSITY OF
GUELPH, and another pure and applied science degree from McGILL UNIVERSITY. He has worked in virtually all aspects of the Green Space In-
dustry, including GOLF, PROFESSIONAL LAWN CARE, and CHEMICAL INDUSTRY, and has served in environmental compliance, government
negotiations, public affairs, and workplace safety. Mr. Gathercole has supervised, consulted, programmed, and/or overseen the successful and
safe execution of HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of pest control applications in the urban landscape. He has trained, instructed, and consulted
with THOUSANDS of turf managers and technicians. Mr. Gathercole has also been an agricultural agronomist. For many years, Mr. Gathercole
was a contributing columnist for TURF & Recreation Magazine, Canada’s Turf and Grounds Maintenance Authority.

Mr. Gathercole and his colleagues have followed the evolution of LUNATIC ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM for over a quarter century. For FIF-
TEEN YEARS, the strategies designed and implemented by Mr. Gathercole and his colleagues guaranteed the control of the VERMIN OF ENVI-
RONMENTAL TERROR for the entire Modern Green Space Industry across Canada. Their involvement in Environmental Issues reached a fe-
vered pitch in the 1990s, when he orchestrated, with his colleagues, legal action against the Forces of Environmental Evil in the Town of Hud-
son, Quebec.

Today, Mr. Gathercole is the ONLY TRUE RELIABLE WITNESS of the Hudson Affair. Mr. Gathercole is personally credited for crafting the Golf
Industry Exception Status that endures to this day. He is also the creator of the signs that are now used for posting after application. His vast
knowledge of our long journey with Environmental Issues is UNDENIABLE ― hopefully ! Mr. Gathercole is now retired, although his name con-
tinues to appear as FOUNDER of Force Of Nature.
