Donna Laframboise: The World Wakes Up to the World Wildlife Fund

Slowly, it seems, the rest of us are collectively waking up to the idea that an organization as large and as wealthy as the World Wildlife Fund deserves some scrutiny.

This past weekend Christopher Booker’s column in The Telegraph (which kindly cites my book), provides a big-picture analysis. He argues that the WWF has strayed far from its original mandate of saving endangered animals – and that some of its current projects in the developing world are highly controversial.

Ten thousand miles away, a thoughtful opinion piece has also just been published by BeefCentral.com, which describes itself as a “news and market intelligence service dedicated to the Australian beef industry.”

Titled Can producers trust WWF to be accountable?, it was written by Dale Stiller, a spokesperson for those who raise cattle in that country. He points out that while the WWF is in the business of telling other people what to do, this organization is itself “not accountable to anyone.”

  1. The 1946 Seeds of Models of Reality versus Reality (Climategate)

    The seeds of Climategate apparently sprouted from a decision to unite nations, control humans like domesticated animals, and hide this information [1] on the energy that destroyed Hiroshima on 6 Aug 1945:
    “One day in August 1945, while standing in the ruins of Hiroshima, I became overwhelmed by the power of nuclear energy [1].

    “The sight before my eyes was just like the end of the world, but I also felt that the beginning of the world may have been just like this [1].

    Astronomy, astrophysics, climatology, cosmology, solar and space physics been plagued by consensus models of reality since 1946, when Fred Hoyle and the Royal Astronomical Society led these fields astray with two landmark papers [2,3] that very effectively hid the primary source of energy that destroys, creates and sustains life.

    Prior to the end of the Second World War, Fred Hoyle, Sir Author Eddington and leaders of astronomy and solar physics in the West “believed that the sun was made mostly of iron” [4].

    I essentially spent my research career showing that Professors Paul Kuroda [1], Fred Hoyle and Arthur Eddington [4] were right [5] before Fred Hoyle’s 1946 models of the internal composition of stars [2] and the synthesis of elements from hydrogen [3] were published in 1946.
