Pentti Linkola:

Pentti Linkola -- amateur biologist, advocate of mandatory abortion and involuntary sterilization

Along with other groups such as the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement and Charles Manson's Air, Trees, Water, Air (ATWA), Linkola believes that millions need to die for the environment's sake.

In the profile titled "In his Solitude a Finnish Thinker Posits Cataclysms," the gloomy nature-lover expressed the belief that the human catastrophe sure to accompany another world war would be a "happy occasion for the planet."

"We still have a chance to be cruel, but if we are not cruel today, all is lost," he admonished Journal readers.

Linkola's vision for population planning can be summed up in one inflammatory concept: eugenics, a field of study publisher and journalist Adam Parfrey has aptly dubbed the "orphaned science." This shunned approach to phenotypic prognostication, Linkola holds, would suddenly resurface, denying "genetically unfit" parents the right to bear children.
For those select families allowed to breed, a strict two-child limit would be enforced on all households.

"That there are billions of people over 60kg weight on this planet is recklessness. Considering the current population, it is insanity to whine for little over 200 dead in that Korean aircraft that was shot down. It was a relief, far too small though. I wish that death to mankind comes soon. So quickly that mankind will not have time to destroy natures potential for future evolution. Suicide is a deed of an active person. "

"a happy occasion for the planet.... If there were a button I could press, I would sacrifice myself without hesitating, if it meant millions of people would die."

I think these views qualify him as a sick freak. Of course, as I already said, he is harmless and shouldn't be paid too much attention to. More attention should be paid to a sick freaks like George Bush or Gordon Brown because they are not just a simple fishermen, but people (are they people at all?) with a big power.

Besides, these views show that Linkola is a child of the modern age, that he is firmly embedded in the modern "technical" way of thinking, no matter how he appears to loathe technology and modernity. The fact that media pay too much attention to people like this one may be an indication that some inhumane agendas are cherished by powers that be. Wasn't it Henry Kissinger in the seventies who had, in a memorandum he drafted, advocated a support for "limiting growth of population" as an expedient to preserve the existing world order and its elite in power?

No inhumane agendas (which are, in my opinion, not worth any serious consideration, except just for laughing at human stupidity) will help to halt the destruction of nature. Man has the role to cooperate with nature, even to embellish it sometimes (gardens). Every time you take an apple in your hands, you should be grateful for this wonderful God's (or nature's, if you prefer, all the same) gift. There must be some humbleness in dealing with nature...

And anyway popolation of the world is stagnating. Even Muslim countries have zero population growth (most of them).
