There is a popular myth going around that the world is “overcrowded”. If you believe that, I invite you to hear the facts, and judge for yourself.
There are currently about 7.6 Billion people on planet Earth, and the number is growing. China is the most populated country on Earth at 1.4 billion, with India a close second at 1.3 billion, and is expected to surpass the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in just a few years. The USA is a distant 3rd in population with just over 300 million people.
So I can see where so-called intellectuals might get the idea that there are a lot of people in the world. Questions arise such as “How are we going to sustain this growing population?”, and “In future generations, where will things like food, clean water, and clean air come from?”, or “How will we be able to dispose of all the waste products? (Human or otherwise)?” These are not easy questions to answer, and people are turning to solutions such as lab-grown meat and Soylent proposed as sustainable solutions for future generations. Something about meat grown in a lab is a little … unsettling for me.
But there are people who are proposing a more radical solution to what they see as a population problem. But don’t take my word for it, listen to them in their own words (source: Michael T. Snyder of TMIN) :
- UK Television Presenter Sir David Attenborough: “We are a plague on the Earth. It’s coming home to roost over the next 50 years or so. It’s not just climate change; it’s sheer space, places to grow food for this enormous horde. Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us, and the natural world is doing it for us right now”
- Paul Ehrlich, a former science adviser to president George W. Bush and the author of “The Population Bomb”: “Solving the population problem is not going to solve the problems of racism… of sexism… of religious intolerance… of war… of gross economic inequality. But if you don’t solve the population problem, you’re not going to solve any of those problems. Whatever problem you’re interested in, you’re not going to solve it unless you also solve the population problem.”
- Dave Foreman, the co-founder of Earth First: “We humans have become a disease, the Humanpox.”
- CNN Founder Ted Turner: “A total world population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal.”
- Environmental activist Roger Martin: “On a finite planet, the optimum population providing the best quality of life for all, is clearly much smaller than the maximum, permitting bare survival. The more we are, the less for each; fewer people mean better lives.”
- HBO personality Bill Maher: “I’m pro-choice, I’m for assisted suicide, I’m for regular suicide, I’m for whatever gets the freeway moving – that’s what I’m for. It’s too crowded, the planet is too crowded and we need to promote death.”
- John Guillebaud, professor of family planning at University College London: “The effect on the planet of having one child less is an order of magnitude greater than all these other things we might do, such as switching off lights. An extra child is the equivalent of a lot of flights across the planet.”
- Democrat strategist Steven Rattner: “WE need death panels. Well, maybe not death panels, exactly, but unless we start allocating health care resources more prudently — rationing, by its proper name — the exploding cost of Medicare will swamp the federal budget.”
- Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger: “All of our problems are the result of overbreeding among the working class”.
I won’t bore you with further examples, but Snyder gives 46 different sources of well-known, respected, intelligent, and successful people advocating for “population reduction”. In other words, rather than increasing the food supply, or desalinization of ocean water to make more clean water, their solution is to KILL OFF THE HUMANS.
That’s right. There are intelligent people in this world (it defies the explanation of being “well-meaning”) who are openly advocating of not just MURDER of one or two people, but of global genocide. “There are too many people in this world. Would it be so wrong if, say, a few billion of them would just, you know, volunteer to die?” And if they won’t volunteer, then there are those who will fight to legislate it for them, either through law, or medical means (Eugenics, assisted suicide, etc.)
The most sensible thing to ask at this point is: “Why?”
To arrive at this answer, we must first ask the most salient question: “Is the planet really ‘overcrowded'”? Let’s do some simple math. Even an elementary age child could do this exercise.
We have already stated that the current world population is 7.6 billion individuals. It is an easy Google search to determine the land mass of the planet. According to the University of Texas:
“The total land surface area of Earth is about 57,308,738 square miles, of which about 33% is desert and about 24% is mountainous. Subtracting this uninhabitable 57% (32,665,981 mi2) from the total land area leaves 24,642,757 square miles or 15.77 billion acres of habitable land.”
So this would leave just over 2 acres per person.
Think about that. I live in a suburb just outside of Saint Louis, Missouri, and my house sits on just about 1 acre of land. Other people may have ranches, or wide open spaces (with apologies to Cole Porter). But my little plot is fine, and according to the math, is less than half of what the planet can provide.
TWO ACRES PER PERSON. Not counting the land mass that we currently consider to be “uninhabitable” (such as mountains or desserts (there is such a thing as terraforming, by the way), or even the THREE-QUARTERS of the planet which is water. I DREAM of living on a house-boat…
And we haven’t even discussed the options of three-dimensions. Buildings can grow UP as well, as cities such as Hong Kong, and Tokyo have well demonstrated.
So the planet has plenty of space for the current numbers of inhabitants. If we want to talk about the growth of food, clean water, reducing waste or pollution: those are separate issues. More than likely as not, these problems will be solved through technology; hydroponics or otherwise. People have an amazing capacity for seeing a problem, and arriving at a solution.
But while there are those people advocating for clean air, water, hydroponics, etc., there are still those whose “go-to” solution is to reduce the overall human population. One must ask “Why?”
Here is the best answer I can come up with. It’s Satanic.
Satan. Hates. People.
Mankind was originally created in God’s image (contrary to evolutionists’ claims). Therefore, if one believes that Satan hates God (opposes his plans, lies about Who He Is and His motivations, and love for mankind), then it is reasonable to assume that Satan hates people as well.
Not content with just small-time, ones and twos (gang murders and fits of jealous rage, which may take out one or two people at a time), Satan is BIG BUSINESS. Mass-murder. Genocide isn’t good enough for him. He needs to train and inspire people to create political, economic, and technological machines capable of exterminating entire races of people. Hitler was his idea, after all.
He now has entire ORGANIZATIONS to provide mass murder, sanctioned and paid for by large government entities, and protected by lobbying interests and elected officials. Planned Parenthood, funded by the US Government, has performed about 54 MILLION abortions in the US alone, since 1973. (Josep Stalin would be proud. Or jealous, not sure which).
“Abortions need to be safe, legal, and rare!” Looks good on a bumper sticker, sure. But when you realize that what they are advocating is “Murder needs to be safe, legal and rare”, then you see behind the mask. Safe for whom? The ones doing the murdering? Certainly not for the victims. They are dead, and can’t vote any more.
You cannot deny that there is something bad, and supernatural, pushing this agenda.
I note that none of the 46 people quoted by Snyder’s article aren’t advocating for THEMSELVES to put their head on the chopping block. It’s always “someone else”. But that exposes and reveals the Satanic “fingerprint”. Selfishness. “I would live a lot happier life if there were a few billion less people on this planet.” Never mind the lives of the millions, it’s all about me. I get more land, more food, better healthcare, etc. Me. Me. Me.
Oh, they may couch it in language which would lead you to believe it’s about “the larger whole of humanity” or “future generations” when it’s not. It gets right down to “me.”
God says, “Be fruitful and multiply” (Genesis 1:28). I don’t recall where God ever said, “OK! That’s enough! Start scaling it back!”
But Satan says, “You know what? There are entirely too many people on this planet. We need to kill off a few billion!”
“WHO’S WITH ME?”
