I N TR OD UC T ION ―
OUR WOR LD OF
POLIT ICIZED SCIENCE
The discussion of « politicized scien-
ce » is ANATHEMA to the Environ-
mental–Terror–Activists, who do not
like it when certain issues are exam-
ined that may not be generally known,
but need to be explained.
Many deeply held beliefs need to be
re–examined.
Many of these beliefs have been en-
trenched in our minds for decades by
our trust in social policies that has be-
come « politicized » with the per-
petuation of « junk science », and the
use of coercion through « environ-
mental terrorism ».
In our world, the « politicization » of
science occurs when Environmental–
Terror–Activists use economic or legal
pressures to influence public policy.
In many cases, Environmental–Ter-
ror–Activists Policies spread to certain
portions of the population, such as the
Green Space Industry.
Environmental–Terror Policies often
lead to business failures, bankrupt-
cies, unemployment, despair, and des-
titution.
The depraved indifference of Environ-
mental–Terror has even led to DEATH
― on a MASSIVE scale.
« Politicized science » has triumphed
whenever politics have outweighed
scientific fact.
« Politicized science » has prevailed
when measures were taken that often
had little basis in fact or « sound sci-
ence ».
It is now common knowledge that the
world of « politicized science » DE-
MONIZED one of the most impressive
chemicals of the Twentieth Century ―
DDT.
We are told that the current array of
modern and conventional pest control
products used by the Green Space In-
dustry MAY create the problems once
encountered with the likes of DDT.
This is false !
The Green Space Industry needs to
remind the public of the many MIS-
CONCEPTIONS concerning DDT.
The public needs to be given a reality
check on this matter.
R E M O V IN G D D T ―
AN E XAMP LE OF
D EPR AVED IND IFFER ENCE
The removal of DDT from the world
market is a good example where so-
cial politics were implemented based
upon « junk science ».
The measures that were urged for the
removal of DDT had LITTLE BASIS in
fact or science.
DDT had to be eliminated in order to
« save » the environment ― a move
that was self–serving and under–
handed by Environmental–Terror–Acti-
vists.
The fact that millions of people were
hurt and killed with the removal of
DDT has been ignored, since, sadly,
the « saving » of the environment ap-
peared to be a cause that was greater
than any human suffering.
Some observers have described this
as a form of « depraved indifferen-
ce », and even « eco–manslaughter »,
by Environmental–Terror–Activists.
A classic example of « depraved indif-
ference » by Enviro–Terror–Activists
was displayed in 1971, during Con-
gressional testimony before the U.S.
House Committee on Agriculture. The
discussion focused on the chemical al-
ternatives to DDT.
The alternatives may have been more
acceptable to Enviro–Terror–Activists,
but they were truly UNSAFE for use by
applicators, such as farm workers.
The response from Enviro–Terror–
Activists was SHOCKING !
The following statement was attrib-
uted to an executive of the Environ-
mental Defense Fund, a U.S. Environ-
mental–Terror–Organization ―
<< It doesn’t make a lot of difference
because the organophosphate [ alter-
native ] acts locally and only kill [ sic ]
farm workers, and most of them are
Mexicans and Negroes. >>
F ACT S ABOUT DD T ―
The following nine statements chal-
lenge the « politicized science » that
DEMONIZED DDT.
These statements will be examined in
detail in future reports.
Many deeply held beliefs about DDT
need to be re–examined.
1. Things were NOT better before DDT.
2. DDT was a pretty good product.
3. DDT saved countless lives.
4. The turf industry embraced DDT.
5. The environmental effect of DDT
was contradictory.
6. The effect of DDT on birds was
exaggerated.
7. Removing DDT was politically mo-
tivated.
8. The removal of DDT led to the
death of millions.
9. DDT is back again today.

If you follow the news even lightly, you'll know that bedbugs ― flat–bodied
blood–suckers that can hide in all kinds of small crevices and live up to a year
without eating ― are making a horror–movie–like R ES U R G EN C E everywhere,
S a s ka t ch e w an included.

Pest control experts say the infestation already comprises a G L OB A L P A N D EM I C .

Nice. So are we going back to the B A D O L D DA YS when, to fight this resilient

vermin, people regularly P OU R ED O I L O R B OI L I N G WA TER I N TO FL O OR C R EV I C ES ,
and TR A C ED K ER OS EN E A R OU N D B ED M A TTR ES S ES ?

The F r e n c h w r i t e r S i m on e de Be au v o i r attributed no small part of the P a r i s i a n

C A F E C U L TU R E to the bedbug. Such was its infestation of hotels and dwellings
that, to converse and write, everybody sought refuge in cafes.

In 1 9 3 9 , after four years of work, S w i s s c h e m i s t Pa u l Mü l l e r

developed a synthetic insecticide ― D D T ― which was ba-
sically S A F E F OR HU M A N S , but deadly against malaria–
causing mosquitoes, typhus–causing lice, plague–spreading
fleas ... and bedbugs.

For preventing the deaths of tens of millions of people,

Mü l l e r was awarded the 1 9 4 8 N ob e l P r i z e f o r Me d i c i n e .
In 1970, according to U . S . N a t i on a l A c ade m y of S c ie n ce s r ep o r t ―

< < T o o n l y a fe w c h e m i c a l s d oe s m an o w e a s g r e a t a d e b t a s t o

But in the wake of R a c he l C a r s on ’s 1962 anti–chemical blockbuster S i l e n t

S p r i ng , in which she D I S TO R TED S C I EN TI F I C DA TA TO S U I T H ER P U RP OS E , che-
mophobic zealots began lobbying for a ban on the wonder insecticide.

In J u n e 19 72 , the U .S . En v i r o n me n ta l P r o t ec t i on A ge n c y ( E PA ) , D ES P I TE
C ON S I D ER A B L E EV I D EN C E OF I TS S A F ETY , outlawed D D T .

After seven months of testimony, the E P A ’s own administrative law expert de-
clared that the insecticide ...

But those who apparently find NO problem in the C O N S EQU EN T D EA TH S O F

― or
M I L L I O N S WH O DI E F R OM M A L A RI A A N D O TH ER I N S EC T – C A U S ED I L L N ES S ES
who would rather put up with the bedbug affliction than acknowledge the won-
derful efficacy of D D T ― still celebrate that 1 97 2 ban as a great victory.

Why do these enviro–fanatics want to take us back to medieval times ?

How do they always manage to triumph on such matters ?

And why does one instinctively know that, despite the building chorus of
« Bring Back DDT » , these people will prevail ?

Instead of returning to a procedure that has proven its worth, we’re left with
prescriptions for fighting bedbugs that are L A M E A N D L A U GHA B L E ― the plant-
ing of mosquito–repelling trees such as neem or oak, for example.
P a u l D r i e s s en , author of E c o– Im p e r ia l i s m : G r ee n Po w e r , B l a ck D ea th
( 2 0 03 ) , writes contemptuously of how N e w Yo r k C i t y ’ s B ed bu g A d v i so r y
B o a rd recommends that people dealing with the problem ―

< < U s e b l o w –d r y e rs t o fl u s h o u t ( m a y be fi v e p e r c e n t o f ) t h e b u g s ,
t h e n t h r o w a w a y ( t ho us a n d s o f d ol l a r s w o r t h o f ) i n fe s t e d cl o t h i n g ,
b e dd i n g , c a r p e t i n g , a nd fu r n i t u r e . H i re ( e x pe n s iv e ) p ro fe ss i o n a ls

y o u d o n’ t g e t s c a m m ed . > >

( Obviously, the parentheses are Driessen's, not the board's. )

So–called volumetric heating, the super–heating of bedbug–infested spaces to

6 0 °C ― recently conducted in a U n i v e r si t y of S a s ka t ch e wa n residence, for ex-
ample ― apparently works, but it's expensive, time–consuming, short–term
and localized.

So if D D T is the all–around best prevention against malaria and other tropical

diseases, and is also effective against bedbugs, let's bring it back ― if only to
test claims that some bedbug resistance to it now exists, or remains.

As D r i e s s e n also says ―

< < I f n o t fo r t he e co n o m y a n d m e n t a l h e a l t h o f A me r i c a n s a ffl i c t e d

p a r e n t s a n d c h i ld r e n . > >

In 2 0 0 6 , the W o r l d H ea l th O r g an i z a t io n finally acknowledged that D D T is an

unrivaled insecticide that ought not be banned.

But in 2 0 0 9 , the U n i t ed N a t io n s En v ir o n m en t a l P ro g r a m nevertheless an-

nounced its intention to rid the world of D D T by 2 0 20 .

If only the millions who are vulnerable to the ravages of malaria ― and now
the trauma of experiencing bedbugs ― could have a say on the matter.
Force Of Nature presents THE WHOLE TRUTH FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE from National Organi-
zation 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 COMMENTARY. The neutrality of these Reports might be disputed.

Huje is a term used to describe Enviro Maniac Activists that routinely concoct FEAR MONGERING, FRAUDU-
LENT LIES, MISCONCEPTIONS, COERCION, THREATS, DECEPTIONS, TERROR, and PARANOID CONSPIRA-
CIES that are DESIGNED to SCAM and DECEIVE the public into believing there is some NON–EXISTENT
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, SCIENTIFICALLY SAFE, TOTALLY IRREPLACEABLE, and ABSOLUTELY INDISPENSA-
BLE.

All information, excerpts, and pictures contained in this Report were found somewhere on the Internet, and
may be considered in the public domain, serving one of the following purposes ― archive, education, pro-
motion, publicity, or press release. The events, characters, companies, and organizations, depicted in this
Report are not always fictitious. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, may not be coincidental.
Force Of Nature is TOTALLY INDEPENDENT of any trade association or business operating within the Green
Space Industry. Don’t thank us. It’s a public service. And we are glad to do it.

Force Of Nature, and its various incarnations, is the brainchild of William H. Gathercole and his entourage.
Mr. Gathercole is a principal FOUNDER 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 Indus-
try, including GOLF, PROFESSIONAL LAWN CARE, and CHEMICAL INDUSTRY, and has served in public af-
fairs, workplace safety, and environmental compliance. Mr. Gathercole has supervised, consulted, pro-
grammed, 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 Main-
tenance Authority. Mr. Gathercole is now retired from Force Of Nature, although his name continues to ap-
pear as the FOUNDER. 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 ! For FIF-
TEEN YEARS, the strategies designed and implemented by Mr. Gathercole and his colleagues guaranteed the
control of Environmental Terror for the entire Modern Green Space Industry across Canada. Mr. Gather-
cole’s involvement in Environmental Issues reached a fevered pitch in the 1990s, when he orchestrated,
with his colleagues, legal action against the Forces of Environmental Evil in the Town of Hudson, Quebec.
Mr. Gathercole is the ONLY TRUE RELIABLE WITNESS of the Hudson Affair.

Mr. Gathercole and his entourage have followed the evolution of ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM for over a
quarter century. Through Force Of Nature, Enviro Maniac Activist Huje are identified on the basis of their
statements, activities, affiliations, and whereabouts. Even though each Enviro Maniac Culprit is a misguided
adversary, each still deserves our respect. The use of the terms Maniac, Culprit, Terrorist, or Basterd are
not accusations of any legal wrong doing. Force Of Nature is simply holding Enviro Maniac Activists ac-
countable for conspiring to change public policies that TERRORIZE, HARM, and THREATEN the Green Space
Industry. Their pretentious prohibitionist rants have created LOSS OF REVENUES, BUSINESS FAILURES,
BANKRUPTCY, and UNEMPLOYMENT, inflicting DESPAIR and DESTITUTION for THOUSANDS of hapless vic-
tims throughout the Green Space Industry. The DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE of Maniac Culprit Terrorist Bas-
terd Huje is viewed as a form of TERROR, HARM, and THREAT against the Green Space Industry.
