—Calvin Luther Martin, PhD<\/p>\n

If you live within the shadow of a “windfarm,” did you know that you are no longer considered a \u201cperson\u201d? \u00a0You\u2019re now a \u201creceptor\u201d and you\u2019re given a number. \u00a0Say, Receptor 15.<\/p>\n

You think I\u2019m joking? \u00a0I\u2019m not. \u00a0Wind companies now refer to people as \u201creceptors<\/a>\u201d \u2014 a receptor with a number assigned by the wind company.<\/p>\n

Thus, my name is Calvin Martin, except, if I live within a windfarm, I would be Receptor 15 \u2014 or whatever number I am assigned by Big Wind.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to repeat this. \u00a0I am no longer a human being—a person—suffering from wind turbine infrasound & low frequency noise; I am Receptor 15 who is \u201cannoyed\u201d by what I \u201callege\u201d to be infrasound & low frequency noise.<\/em><\/p>\n

The people driving me out of my home and destroying my health, the people driving my livestock to distraction and driving away the wildlife, the people turning my bucolic landscape into an industrial wasteland and turning me and my neighbors against one another \u2014 these people call me Receptor 15.<\/p>\n

Or Receptor 98288. \u00a0(Just a bigger number.)<\/p>\n

Consider Leon Greenman. \u00a0Mr. Greenman was \u201cLeon Greenman\u201d till he found himself living within the boundary of a concentration camp in Hitler\u2019s Germany. \u00a0A concentration camp where the Third Reich was engaged in the “natural experiment” of liquidating what the National Socialists (Nazis) considered the \u201cweaker\u201d and \u201cless desirable\u201d members of the human species.<\/p>\n

Thus Mr. Greenman got hauled off to a camp called Auschwitz, and was stripped of his name. \u00a0To the staff at Auschwitz, he became No. 98288.<\/p>\n

\"Auschwitz\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s what keeps me awake at night. \u00a0How short a step is it from Receptor 98288 to Auschwitz 98288, I wonder?<\/em> Both programs being necessary—Were they not?—for the greater good of society, for the greater good of the earth (to avert global warming, in the case of wind energy), and of course the greater good of the fatherland. \u00a0Both create jobs—don’t forget that bonus. \u00a0And both create a large redistribution of income. \u00a0Both are technological, organizational, and propaganda marvels—one showcasing the ingenious technology of mass genocide-while-pretending-it’s-okay (inspired by the Chicago stockyard\/slaughterhouse model, some historians argue), the other the ingenious technology of mass illness-while-pretending-it’s-not-happening.<\/p>\n

Both programs are altogether brilliant “natural experiments.”<\/p>\n
