Protecting Temperate Old-Growth Rainforest is Key for a Sustainable Future
On the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, red and yellow cedar trees over 1,000 years old are being cut down for lumber. The logging company, Teal-Jones, has a provincially granted tree farm license that gives them exclusive rights to log a 230-square-mile area in the southwest of the island, which is home to a globally rare zone of temperate rainforest. The loss of these giant trees is immeasurable, not only because of their cultural significance to the region’s Indigenous and settler populations, but also because of the pivotal role they play in forest ecology.

This controversial title is available on Amazon. I read it a few days ago and discussed small parts of it with Ernst. He hasn’t read it yet, and I am curious as to his response after he has read it. For now, he only said: “Since David has done us the favor and outed himself, we can afford to seize the opportunity…”
I assume that most supporters on my list who receive my Power Letter are familiar with the story of a young Jew named David Cole who played a brilliant role in early revisionism. Ernst had befriended him and had taken him protectively under his wings because there were people in the nascent “Revisionist Movement for Truth in History” who instinctively disliked and distrusted David Cole … because he was a Jew.
