We are living in the 9|11 Era of Environ-
mental Terror created by Suzuki-Lunatics
!
David Suzuki was WRONG about polar
bears.
Suzuki was WRONG about global warm-
ing.
Suzuki was WRONG about pest control
products.
Suzuki was WRONG about INTERFERING
IN POLIT ICAL CAMPAIGNS .
As a result of his POLIT ICAL INTERFER-
ENCE in the Ontario 2011 General Elec-
tion, David Suzuki was QUIETLY
FORCED TO STEP DOWN from the Board
of Directors of David Suzuki Foundation.
Demands are now being made for David
Suzuki to STEP DOWN as host of televi-
sion programs produced by Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation, including The
Nature Of Things.

According to Equiterre ( a.k.a.
David Suzuki Foundation ) ―
Did you know that after leading
the way with the first provincial
ban on lawn pesticides in 2003,
QUEBEC HAS NOW FALLEN BE-
H IND other provinces when it
comes to protecting human and
environmental health in this mat-
ter ?
Our list of banned pesticides hasn’t changed since 2003, whereas Ontario
and Nova Scotia have both gone on to adopt stronger policies, which PRO-
HIBIT MORE PESTIC IDES , including some based on the precautionary prin-
ciple, i.e., the possibility that they could be harmful.
But now that the Pesticides Management Code is under revision, this could
change.
Let’s make sure that the revisions to
the Code go far enough.
The new code MUST INCLUDE
TOUGHER REGULAT IONS for cosmetic
pesticides.
We shouldn’t be allowing pesticides
that HAVE BEEN BANNED IN OTHER
PROVINCES to be used in Quebec.

dation and Nature Québec in asking

Equiterre is an Environmental-Terrorist and Anti-Pesticide Organization that
is VERY CLOSELY ALLIED WITH DAVID SUZUKI FOUNDAT ION .
In 1992-1993, Equiterre was established as an AMBASSADOR AND PUBLIC
POLICY SH IELD ORGANIZATION FOR DAVID SUZUKI FOUNDATION IN
THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC .
SUZUK I and EQUITERRE are basically ONE-IN -THE -SAME GROUP that even
operate out of the SAME LOCATION in Montreal.
In 2001, when Anti-Pesticide PROHIBIT ION in the Town of Hudson, Quebec,
was challenged before The Supreme Court Of Canada, Ecojustice Canada
provided legal counsel for the NATURE -ACTION QUEBEC ( an early version
of EQUITERRE ), as well as Federation of Canadian Municipalities ( man-
aged by some of the same people that now run New Democratic Party of
Canada ( NDP ) ), and World Wildlife Fund ( WWF ).
EQUITERRE ’s office is located in Montreal,
Quebec, in the Centre for Sustainable Devel-
opment, which officially opened its doors on
October 6th, 2011, and is home to E IGHT
Environmental and Social Terrorist Organiza-
tions, including EQUITERRE , and coinci-
dentally, DAVID SUZUKI FOUNDATION .
The centre is COLLECTIVELY OWNED by the
organizations that occupy the building, in-
cluding the Quebec headquarters for the Da-
vid Suzuki Foundation and Amnesty Interna-
tional.

The Pesticides Management Code has been in force since April 3rd, 2003,
sets strict standards to control the use and sale of pesticides, under the
PRETEXT of attempting « to protect human health ».
This Code was the result of a BOGUS CONSULTATION carried out in 1998
by the Ministry of the Environment, following the recommendations of the
Groupe De Réflexion Sur Les Pesticides En Milieu Urbain, an Anti-Pesticide
Organization.
Since April 2006, it is PROHIBITED to use certain products on the lawns of
public, semi-public and municipal properties and, on the lawns of private and
commercial properties, except for golf courses.
Who says Quebec is Pesticide-Free ?!?!
Despite a PROHIBIT ION fully implemented
since 2006, several pest control products
are ALLOWED in the Province of Quebec for
Commercial Use on Turf ● Acclaim Herbi-
cide ● Betasan Herbicide ● Deltagard
Insecticide ● Dicamba Herbicide ● Di-
mension Herbicide ● Imidacloprid Insecti-
cide ● Spinosad Insecticide.
Now that 60 per cent of Quebec Lawn Care
businesses have been ANNIH ILATED by Su-
zuki and Equiterre, who are UNSATIATED ,
say they want to FURTHER DESTROY MORE BUSINESSES WITH DEMANDS
TO PROHIBIT THE REMAINING ALLOWABLE PRODUCTS .

There is NO RECOURSE BUT OFFI -

On April 23th, 2012, David Suzuki Foundation became THE TARGET OF A COMPLAINT TO
THE CANADA REVENUE AGENCY ( CRA ), just days after its namesake co-founder stepped
down amid heightened tensions between environmental charities and the Government of
Canada.
EthicalOil.org, a non-profit organization that promotes oil from Canada and other democra-
cies, sent a COMPLAINT to Canada Revenue Agency asking it to INVESTIGATE whether Da-
vid Suzuki Foundation is BREAKING RULES THAT PERTAIN TO POLITICAL ACTIVITY.
The COMPLAINT comes on the heels of the Government of Canada’s WARNING that it will
keep a much closer eye on the BLURRY LINE BETWEEN CHARITY AND POLITICS, arming the
tax department with 8-MILLION-DOLLARS to enforce the rules.
Registered charities are allowed to devote only a SMALL FRACTION of their resources to PO-
LITICAL ACTIVITY, although they can NEVER BE PARTISAN.
EthicalOil.org said in its 44-page COMPLAINT, which was drafted by Calgary-based JSS Bar-
risters ―
« If you find the Suzuki Foundation is in contravention of the CRA rules, then we request
that you consider whether the Suzuki Foundation should have its CHARITABLE STATUS RE-
VOKED or otherwise be SANCTIONED. »
The COMPLAINT relates to David Suzuki Foundation’s activities over the past year, and the
bulk of the COMPLAINT outlines allowable political activity such as letter-writing campaigns
to federal politicians or blog posts urging the Government of Canada to change its environ-
mental policies.
Jamie Ellerton, Executive Director of EthicalOil.org, said those activities point to the group’s
« politicization » and that Canada Revenue Agency should « determine whether or not they
are crossing the 10 per cent political threshold and VIOLATING CHARITIES LAW ».

The COMPLAINT also says David Suzuki Foundation received funding from the British gov-
ernment and that the purpose of the funding may have been to « forward the policies of the
United Kingdom Government on climate change in Canada ».
Ellerton said the COMPLAINT was faxed to David Suzuki Foundation, but the organization
did not confirm receipt or provide comment.
Ellerton said that organizations should FORGO CHARITABLE STATUS — and all the eco-
nomic benefits it brings — if they want THE FREEDOM TO BE POLITICAL ―
« What we’re looking to accomplish [ in issuing a complaint to the revenue agency ] is to
ENSURE TAX-PAYERS AREN’T SUBSIDIZING THE POLITICAL ACTIVITY of the David Suzuki
Foundation. »
Other portions of the COMPLAINT accuse David Suzuki Foundation of ENGAGING IN PRO-
HIBITED PARTISAN ACTIVITY and point to the following as two examples ―
• A blog post titled « Ontario Liberal platform maintains green energy focus »,
which was published two days after the 2011 provincial election was called last fall;
and
• A July 2011 Toronto Star article that reported Mr. Suzuki had endorsed Premier
Dalton McGuinty and was « urging Ontarians to re-elect » the Liberal leader.
EthicalOil.org also mounted a FORMAL COMPLAINT against Environmental Defence in March
2012.
Other environmental groups have reacted in order to protect themselves.
ForestEthics Canada last week announced it would SPLIT INTO TWO so one segment can
devote all its time to opposing projects such as the Northern Gateway oil pipeline.
Background Information from an Independent Perspective
William H. Gathercole & NORAHG │ [email protected] │ Force Of Nature
ForestEthics Canada was never a registered charity itself, but its donors received tax re-
ceipts through its former UMBRELLA GROUP, TIDES CANADA.
It is known in at least one instance that the Vancouver address for Tides USA, as reported
to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service by the Hewlett Foundation, is EXACTLY THE SAME AS
THE ADDRESS of David Suzuki Foundation ― 2211 WEST FOURTH AVENUE, SUITE 219.
Greenpeace New Zealand CANNOT REGISTER AS A CHARITY.
Greenpeace, an Environmental–Terrorist–Organization, appealed against a 2010 ruling by
the Charities Commission, which found its promotion of « disarmament and peace » was
POLITICAL rather than educational, and while it did not directly advocate illegal acts,
Greenpeace-Lunatics had ACTED ILLEGALLY.
According to Justice Paul Heath ―
« Non-violent, but potentially ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES ( such as trespass ), designed to put
( in the eyes of Greenpeace ) objectionable activities into the public spotlight were an
independent object DISQUALIFYING it from registration as a charitable entity. »
Greenpeace’s pleas for disarmament and peace COULD BE SEEN AS AN INDEPENDENT PUR-
POSE, and its political activities WERE NOT NECESSARY to educate members of the public
on the key issues of Greenpeace, Justice Heath said.
Greenpeace-Lunatic-Lawyer Davey Salmon argued all of the organisation's primary purpos-
es were charitable and the engagement of charities in political advocacy was more accepta-
ble now in 21st Century New Zealand ― YEAH, RIGHT !
Rat Out the Suzuki-Basterds !
William H. Gathercole & NORAHG │ [email protected] │ Force Of Nature
Anti-Pesticide Enviro-Lunatic Basterds DESERVE JAIL !
Anti-Pesticide Activists and their Environmental-Terrorist-Organizations that CONSPIRED to
IMPOSE NEEDLESS, SENSELESS, and MALICIOUS PROHIBITION deserve NO LESS than …
● ARRESTS
● FINES
● IMPRISONMENT
● SANCTIONS
● RESCINDING OF TAX-EXEMPT CHARITY STATUS
Anti-Pesticide Activists will be CHARGED with FRAUD and CONSPIRACY under the CRIMINAL
CODE OF CANADA.
In the event that criminal charges for FRAUD and CONSPIRACY are laid, Anti-Pesticide Ac-
tivists should be advised that they have ALL have been identified on the basis of their
statements, activities, affiliations, and whereabouts.
In the event that criminal charges for FRAUD and CONSPIRACY are laid, legal experts say
that there is sufficient information to lead to a SUCCESSFUL PROSECUTION !
Many Anti-Pesticide Activists will be ARRESTED and JAILED for FRAUD !
In court, Anti-Pesticide-Defendants will realize that NOT A SINGLE PERSON within the Envi-
ronmental-Terrorist-Movement has ANY recognized expertise, training or background in
matters concerning pest control products !
Rat Out the Suzuki-Basterds !
William H. Gathercole & NORAHG │ [email protected] │ Force Of Nature
In court, Anti-Pesticide-Defendants will be unable to provide ANY SCIENTIFIC BASIS for
their NEEDLESS, SENSELESS, and MALICIOUS CONSPIRACY to PROHIBIT pest control prod-
ucts !
In court, Anti-Pesticide-Defendants will be « left out to dry » by their former co-conspirators
since other lunatics will « rat out » their former co-conspirators.
Anti-Pesticide-Defendants will be LIABLE FOR DAMAGES worth MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
Anti-Pesticide Basterds DESERVE NO FREE MONEY !
Contact the Authorities, and COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN !
What can YOU do against the Anti-Pesticide-Basterds ?
COMPLAIN AGAINST THESE LUNATICS BY CONTACTING BUSINESS, FUND-RAISING, GOV-
ERNMENT,band TAXATION AGENCIES !
RAT THEM OUT and STOP THE VERMIN !
If organizations like CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY and DAVID SUZUKI FOUNDATION want to
operate as Environmental-Terrorist-Organizations, their CHARITY TAX-EXEMPT STATUS
SHOULD BE REVOKED.
Enviro-Terrorist-Organizations like GREENPEACE have already lost its status in other juris-
dictions.
Vigorously contact the following agencies to complain about the MISAPPROPRIATION OF
PUBLIC FUNDS at organizations like CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY, and their PARTISAN
ROLE IN PROHIBITION AND DEMAND A REVOCATION OF THEIR REGISTERED CHARITY TAX-
EXEMPT STATUS !
NO MORE FREE-MONEY FOR TERRORIST ACTIVITIES !
Rat Out the Suzuki-Basterds !

THE WHOLE TRUTH FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE from
National Organization Responding Against HUJE that seek to harm the Green Space Industry (NORAHG)
William H. Gathercole & NORAHG │ [email protected] │ Force Of Nature
We are living in the 9|11 Era of Anti Pesticide Terrorism where at least ONE SUBVERSIVE ACT OF TERROR is Perpetrated EVERY SINGLE DAY
by enviro lunatics.
We are living in the DARK AGE OF ANTI PESTICIDE TERRORISM where sound science is trumped by FAKE SCIENTISTS, JUNK SCIENCE and
UNVERIFIABLE SECRET EVIDENCE through FABRICATION, INNUENDO, and INTERNET RUMOUR ― scientific research PROVES that pest con-
trol products CAUSE NO HARM and can be USED SAFELY.
NORAHG is the National Organization Responding Against HUJE that seek to harm the Green space industry.
NORAHG morally represents the VAST SILENT MAJORITY of people associated with turf and ornamental plant maintenance who are OPPOSED
to Anti Pesticide PROHIBITION and the CLOSURE of green spaces under the RIDICULOUS PRETEXT of somehow « saving » the environment.
NORAHG is a NATIONAL NON PROFIT NON PARTISAN organization that does not accept money from corporations or governments or trade as-
sociations, and represents NO VESTED INTERESTS WHATSOEVER.
NORAHG is dedicated to reporting the work of RESPECTED and HIGHLY RATED EXPERTS who promote ENVIRONMENTAL REALISM and PESTI-
CIDE TRUTHS.
Anti Pesticide HUJE are enviro lunatics and lawn haters who particularly DESPISE the golf industry ― they are Hateful Underhanded Jokes as
Environmentalists who have been WRONG FOR OVER 50 YEARS.
There is NO RECOURSE but LITIGATION against Anti Pesticide HUJE.
Another RECOURSE is to SEEK the CANCELLATION of GOVERNMENT GRANTS and REVOCATION of the TAX EXEMPT STATUS of Anti Pesticide
Organizations.
HUJE should Get OFF Our grASS, and they should Roast In Hell.
NORAHG manages the Library Force Of Nature Reports and References, which is a VAST ARCHIVE of DOCUMENTS, AUDIO CLIPS, and VIDEOS
on ALL Anti Pesticide Terrorist Acts of Subversion.
The purpose of this ARCHIVE is to provide information that will lead to a SUCCESSFUL LITIGATION AGAINST Anti-Pesticide Organizations.
All names, statements, activities, and affiliations have been ARCHIVED for the intention of eventual CRIMINAL CHARGES.
When CRIMINAL CHARGES for FRAUD and CONSPIRACY are laid, legal experts say that there is sufficient information to lead to a SUCCESSFUL
PROSECUTION !
NORAHG also produces FORCE OF NATURE, reports that present THE WHOLE TRUTH FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE about environ-
mental issues, including anti pesticide terrorism.
FORCE OF NATURE is a series of reports destined for the green space industry, the environmental terrorist movement, governments, and the
media, nationwide across Canada, the United States, and overseas.
