Where Have All the Insects Gone, Long Time Passing

They’ve gone to the same place flowers, young girls, husbands, and soldiers have gone, graveyards every one. When will they ever learn?

They never will. We know that now. And we know why.

If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos. —E.O. Wilson

I am not one of those who think of humans as cancer infecting the planet, and thus it would be best if we were all eliminated so the earth could heal and return back to this equilibrium that Wilson describes. That thought is reserved for the elite extra terrestrials trying to save the planet. Of course their goal is to remove everyone but themselves and a few slaves to serve them their caviar and pilot their jets. I used to believe this “human cancer” concept, but have come to realize this idea has been drilled into our heads since day one. However, I do think we have been quite irresponsible as stewards of this planet and the diversity of life that we share it with.

With regard to the insects, and many other critters we are shoving out of the nest we all call our home, the finger of blame is pointing in the wrong direction. In my opinion, as well as the opinion of many others, it isn’t climate change that has killed off all of these critters. Pollution, GMOs and pesticides are more likely the culprits. But of course, no matter what it is, we are told it is our fault, you and I, not who is actually at fault—the persons, or corporations/governments, standing behind the pointing finger. Isn’t that typical? “It’s not me, its you!!” John Kerry, and all the other aforementioned “special people” saving the planet, probably make a bigger pollution impact during one private jet excursion than any one of us would avoid by recycling for a lifetime.

That doesn’t mean we don’t have a responsibility to correct it. But we have to first understand where the problem is, and why it is so important.

I have not reached the extremes of paranoia yet to say I believe the powers that be are consciously and intentionally engineering the demise of insects in order to kill off the human race. But I think indirectly, and through sloppy management and irresponsible favoritism to large corporations, who indeed are responsible, that result will be forthcoming if something isn’t done about it. I also believe the “evil ones” don’t give a hoot in hell about nature and nature’s importance to humanity no matter how much they scream about climate change destroying nature. They have every intention of transcending nature and building a world of steel, glass and nanoparticles. And of course, like everything else we are experiencing these days, saving nature very well may be too late.

So what’s up with the insect disappearing act? When was the last time you had to clean a splattered bug off your windshield? Maybe some of you out there have never experienced such a thing. When I was younger that was a constant summer experience—bugs dead on the windshield and dead bugs clogging up your front grill on your car and your headlights. It was a onerous mess because a bug hitting your windshield at 70 miles per hour made a sticky confusion not easy to clean up.

Most people, including myself, don’t give this insect thing much thought. But when prompted to think about it, it becomes one of those moments you say to yourself, “oh yeah! I remember when there were tons of insects buzzing around.” For me it was quite a shock to think back to my childhood, during which I was an avid insect collector. I knew quite a bit about the critters and collected and mounted them (sadly true) by the cigar box full. Insects were everywhere when I was a kid. I had a backyard full of them, filled with buzzes and chirping, butterflies swirling around the ragweed (there were giant orb spiders as well that you also never see anymore). All that seems to be gone now. I mean really gone.

Scientific reports do say this is a serious problem. The decline is swift, but it seems most scientists say it is still at a point where it is reversible. This other article, although typical in its finger pointing as mentioned above, does offer solutions that the average person can implement. Some insect species (of which there are about 10 million) are declining more rapidly than others (some have declined as much as 70% in the past few decades) some have even flourished, but that isn’t good as well. Balance is the key word here, and it isn’t necessary to point out the whole world is desperately out of balance.

Oliver Milman, a journalist at The Guardian, has written a book titled, The Insect Crises. Here is some commentary on this volume:

Averting an insect apocalypse starts with understanding why these famously uncharismatic critters matter — that’s one lesson he hopes his book can convey.

Then there’s the question of how to help them. Fortunately, he writes, it’s pretty simple: We don’t need an action plan, we need an inaction plan. Insects love overgrown lawns, empty lots, and other untended spaces. 

“Perhaps it’s time to sit back and see what could blossom in front of us if we just give it the chance,” Milman writes.

The benefits of having lots of bugs around are myriad (actually the word “bug” is improperly used to describe all insects. Only one order of insect, Hemiptera, is considered a true “bug”). Some are obvious such as pollination and a food source (ha ha, actually there are many societies around the world that actually DO eat the things, deliberately and joyously). But probably the most important function of insects are the key roles they play in the delicate balance of nature, including keeping things clean, ridding the planet of decaying matter, and functioning as useful parasites or engaging in other symbiotic relationships with other insects and other animals. David Wagner from the University of Connecticut says, “Insects are the fabric by which Mother Nature and the tree of life are built.”

Of course the less insects, the fewer birds and other creatures that call them food…and as you can imagine eliminating insects has a cascading effect, the fewer birds, the fewer this or that…on and on. There are LOTS of creatures that eat insects, not just humans. There are lots of creatures that eat birds, including humans. As you can see the whole thing gets whacked. Eventually humans get whacked. And even though that may be the end goal for the elite, we don’t want to help them accomplish their goal.

This is all just one more example of this nefarious battle. The insect decline is just another assault against nature, which the transhumanist goal is to utterly destroy. Humans, as God made them, are an integrated part of nature. We, as humans and not machines, require nature, a balanced and integrated nature, to survive and to be human. The transhumanist need nothing of it, they don’t want it, and they are hell bent to destroy it. Maybe the destruction of insects is just an afterthought and is not an integral intentional part of the agenda, but even if just an afterthought, it is indeed happening right now.

C.S. Lewis, in his epic tome That Hideous Strength, quotes one of his evil characters:

The second problem is our rivals on this planet. I don’t mean only insects and bacteria. There’s far too much life of every kind about, animal and vegetable.  We haven’t really cleared the place yet. First we couldn’t; and then we had aesthetic and humanitarian scruples; and we still haven’t short-circuited the question of the balance of nature. All that is to be gone into. The third problem is Man himself.’ (p. 379)

Lewis’ book is a clear example of an elite group attempting to destroy humanity and the essence of being human through the destruction of nature and the development of a technological “übermensch”—a transhuman made up of man-made parts that transcends nature and either then takes action to destroy it, or rules over it.

Sound familiar? Insects, animals, birds, plants, oceans, air…all parts of the natural living world being systematically destroyed. Guess what’s next?

To put it bluntly, with no insects left, humans will not survive, for many reasons. One, we won’t have anything to eat after the Great Reset is set. Yuck, yuck.
