Well, maybe we should start the 1-child per family planning now so we
won't over-crowd ourselves.
IRH: It could just be that this worry about overpopulation will prove
to
be a mute issue, as the DU materials attached to each and every
US-produced bomb will have eliminated the healthy reproduction (and
reproduction at all) of millions of people, not only the active
participants in these last two invasions of Iraq (EVERY participant
was exposed to the resulting radiation), but also the population
within many miles of the surrounding countries; plus (I read) there
have already traces of that material been found, which had to have
been carried by the clouds to as far away from that area, as Alaska.
Every year on the anniversary of Chernobyl there are more horror
stories presented by scientists, doctors (MDs) and survivors.
Cant we put one plus one together and learn ??
Or, perhaps this whole situation was (sub-)consciously started to
control overpopulation ??
Thing is, why poison (by radiation with a half life of several
centuries) a country one wants to take over eventually ?? if only for
the sake of oil or to get closer to the next imagined "enemy" (Iran,
North Korea, China), in order to be "in command of the whole world"
(all in the name of "globalization").
As it looks now, none of us will be able to live long enough to see
the real damage this family and their helpers have caused to the whole
world, just with the health issues. Also, in the Western World there
wont be enough hospitals to care for those in dire need.
Regarding the food shortages, they are recent-man-maid, as many who
did not experience this shortage before now had to (are being forced
to) "contribute" to the oil-alternatives, so they were/are not able to
utilize the formerly used ground to grow food, like they had done for
centuries. Now they "may" purchase from those who are charging,
charging and overcharging, leaving those who cannot afford those
prices to starve to death (another way to control over-population).
In Africa we have in addition the non treated and overwhelming problem
of AIDS, besides some of the other diseases (like Ebola, Malaria,
etc.), which have populations dwindle away. For Ebola there is no
cure, for Malaria there is not enough medicine available.
Good is that those powers in charge now will not be in any history
books as the heroes of our centuries - soon no one will be alive to
read them. -
Sure sounds crazy to me (also) to demolish a wonderful reputation that
the US enjoyed for decades (many people had forgotten the previous
wars, started by the US). Now we are down, way below the zero point
and most likely will not be able to recover - ever. The damage done,
which will linger for decades and centuries in some areas, will remind
those few survivors. There is only one single antidote, that is if
someone can reduce the "half-life" of that radiation poisoning to make
it not lethal. O.k. dream on . . . any better ideas ??
Oh, you think this is doomsday talk ?! Go research, if you do not
agree with this written here. There is no use putting our heads in the
sand, it will not go away - because those who read and can understand
are simply afraid to face this awful truth and to take the
consequences is almost too late now. - -
And the beat goes on. . .
So, enjoy life while you still can. Oh yes, a nice thing is to believe
that there is a life here after and we can choose to come back and
hopefully do it right next time ?? - -
So much for now.
Be well,
I.R.H
