Bald Eagle No Longer Endangered


Bald Eagle No Longer Endangered - Malaria Victims Still Are

You've probably heard that the American bald eagle has just been removed from the federal list of protected species. While this comeback is certainly wonderful news for our revered national bird, those spreading the story are exploiting its opportunity to dust off moldy activist folklore.


Virtually every news organization (including Fox News) reporting this magnificent milestone is erroneously perpetuating the environmentalist lie that the disappearance of the great bird was due to the effects of DDT and that only the 1972 ban of the insecticide saved the eagle from extinction.

Enviros Target Target

"Target’s ubiquitous red-and-white logo has proved prophetic. The discount retailer has become the bullseye-du-jour for a nationwide protest-attack by an environmental group that equates plastic with “poison.”

The Center for Health, Environment and Justice is distributing “toolkits” for disrupting Target stores nationwide on Oct. 11. “TARGET Uncovered: The Poison Plastic Lurking In Your Shopping Cart,” warns the toolkit’s cover page.

Although the CHEJ toolkit suggests “safer materials Target can use,” these other plastics are only described as “less harmful” chemicals. There is little doubt that if its anti-PVC campaign succeeds, CHEJ will go back on the warpath against the companies’ use of these other plastics.
How can we know this? Because CHEJ sponsor Greenpeace openly admits right on its own web site, “Ultimately we should ask why we are using [plastics] and whether or not they are necessary.

I suggest that we ask why anyone would listen to junk science-fueled activist groups like CHEJ and Greenpeace, and whether they are necessary. Let’s target them for a phase-out."
