There have never been more people on Earth. There have never been more cows on Earth, nor pigs, nor chickens. We are using more pesticides today than at any other time in history and we are losing a greater percentage of the crops. At the same time, there has never been less clean water on Earth. There has never been less available topsoil, nor fewer fish, nor fewer mature trees. There has never been less cause for optimism for the future of the human race. Our natural resources are disappearing at an unbelievable rate, and our so-called leaders offer only cosmetic solutions. The Earth's population calls for more of everything while the Earth demands time to recover from years of abuse.

Why has the population of the world grown so quickly, why does it continue to grow exponentially, and why is so little being done to stop it?

The first explanation for this is the rise in technology and advances in medical science since the end of the second world war. The twin driving forces of unbridled capitalist greed and misplaced humanitarian concern for the so called "developing" nations led to a globalist push to industrialize. Suddenly people who used to have a sustainable way of life in the Third World were being fed and generally looked after. This led to a birth explosion, as well as greater levels of survival. Longer lives are as important a consideration as higher births as an explanation for overpopulation.
Old habits die hard, and the people of the developing nations have a tradition of large families for reasons of status, attempts to beat the odds of perceived risk of death before adulthood, competition and religion - as well as lack of contraception or interest in it. For many families, children are an investment because there is no state pension and they hope their offspring may take care of them.
Tribal conflicts have an effect of upping the birth rate. We have seen a noticeable drop in births in Ireland coinciding with the advent of peace there. Before this, the Protestants and Catholics rivaled each other to produce more babies. Obviously the Catholics were more successful there with the religious ban (now rarely observed) on contraception. Indeed the Pope is far from helpful in attempts to curb world population because he fervently encourages Catholics to breed and is opposed even to condoms to protect from AIDS. Now that Muslims have overtaken Catholics in number over the world, the Pope is only going to react by further entreaties to Catholics to get breeding. And the Muslims themselves have an expansionist agenda. In Palestine and Israel they make no secret of the design to defeat the Jews by outnumbering them.
People feel power from their numbers and there is an instinct to expand as long as resources allow for it. This is happening in many countries and amongst many ethnicities, although one rarely hears mention of it in the western media. If we understood this principle better we would not have the politically correct attitude required of good sheeple.
For some time now some nations have been trying to curb their birth rates because they are running out of resources and their governments have realized the economic advantages in reining in the expansion. Since 1979 China has had a "one child" policy which has slowed down their growth, although far from stopped it. China is colonizing areas of the world, and those who leave China have full permission to breed to their hearts' content.
India is also making attempts to reduce numbers. And while there was worldwide horror and condemnation of Indira Gandhi's program to offer transistor radios in return for sterilization in the 1970s - so all such attempts in the world were stamped on - India is now offering similar bribes without much murmur of opposition. There is a scheme offering men gun licenses for having vasectomies!
The Indian government has no jurisdiction over their north-eastern Khasi population however - who are so keen on expansion that they offer hundreds of dollars to any woman exceeding fifteen offspring!
And while we are talking of paying women to have babies - this is precisely what European nations are doing. Estonia even offers mothers, from their first child, about $2000 a month for a year. Japan, whose population is aging even more rapidly than Europe's, has a company offering $10,000 for each of its employees' children born after the first one.
India and China face problems in the future with an aging population born during their baby boom, should they succeed in reducing their birth rates. The whole thing is an utter fiasco.
As yet, the official bodies who should be engaged in active solutions to help reduce world population are refusing to acknowledge the problem. This becomes even more shocking when you realize that in the 60s and 70s such organizations and politicians were publicizing the severe danger of overpopulation and seriously formulating strategies to deal with it. Suddenly all this stopped, as if by some greater authority decreeing the whole issue out of bounds. And now we can thank the internet for allowing the many thousands who are fully aware of the situation to speak out publicly, together with the fact that symptoms, such as food prices soaring, point inexorably in the direction of overpopulation as a cause. Soon the politicians and various green parties who have been such traitors to the Earth will turn around and behave as if they were never responsible for suffocating voices of concern on the issue.
In 1974, the US government study - NSSM 200 - called for a drastic world population decrease, and the Carter administration released a document "Global 2000" saying that an immediate reduction to 2 billion was necessary. At the time, environmentalist groups agreed with these concerns, and Oxfam publicly supported zero population growth, while a Greenpeace slogan stated "Stop at Two".
This was suddenly replaced with the present Green policy that overpopulation is not a problem, that immigration to the west is a moral imperative, and that the cause of environmental collapse is down to polluting by western industry. This they say, while calling to end poverty all over the world - ie spreading the same consumerist lifestyle aspired to by our middle class.

Can you smell something rotten? That would be the necrocapitalism. Big business has bought our governments and our environmentalist groups. Evidence for the latter comes from the revelation that the Sierra Club, a leading US environmentalist group, accepted donations from a certain David Gelbaum, of over $100million in return for staying schtum on the impact of immigration on environmental problems.
Cheap labor and spreading globalist capitalism through loss of ethno-nationalist unity are essential for the necrocapitalists.
Corporate greed; religious doctrine; ethnic competitiveness; the wonders of modern medicine and humanitarianism - all are to blame for driving world overpopulation. Only when it becomes uneconomic for the situation to continue will our politicians agree to change things. By then it could be too late for the planet. We must struggle to destroy the farce of democracy and replace it with active solutions now!
