Breaking trust with reality: not dealing with it

By Frosty Wooldridge

Part 1: National Geographic reports on human overpopulation, avoids carrying capacity equation

For over 20 years, I have attended conferences in Washington DC as to America’s overpopulation predicament.  In that time, I have met many of the world’s top minds dealing with this issue.  Unfortunately, the majority of the Main Stream Media avoid the population issue at all costs. 

However, last year, the National Geographic Magazine wrote an extensive report on human overpopulation.  Unfortunately, they avoided dealing with the long term ramifications of its effects on America and the rest of the natural world.

Energy expert Dell Erickson talked with me about what the National Geographic left out. You may access many of Erickson’s papers at www.TheSocialContract.com.

Pleas share with the readers the lack of candor from the National Geographic report if you will Mr. Erickson:

“The Spring 2011 edition of the Social Contract focused on population censorship in the scientific sphere,” said Erickson. “The Ecological Society of America (ESA), the North American Lake Management Society, and major environmental organizations were cited as primary examples. Most frequently censorship takes the form of a sin of omission — the refusal to mention issues or to integrate population with any number of tightly linked matters, the worst of which are (in my opinion) ecology, resources, and the environment. As exemplified by the experience of Stuart Hurlbert with ESA, censorship is a deliberate policy across a broad swath of the American science community.
 
“This is obvious in the National Geographic Magazine’s year-long series on population, beginning with the January 2011 issue.¹ This is especially egregious in that the National Geographic Society’s byline is “inspiring people to care about the planet since 1888” and that it claims to be “one of the largest non-profit scientific and educational institutions in the world.”²
 
“I read the articles in the series with disbelief, marveling at their shallowness and failure to take into account world or U.S. sustainability. They downplay population forecasts, omit U.S. population growth, and ignore immigration’s role in U.S. population growth and sustainability, including immigration’s effects on American jobs.
 
“They frame the population issue as if populations are secondary or do not really matter. They believe the world is not overpopulated and contend population issues will work out favorably. The problem is poverty, they claim. Since there is no mention of limits or of peak anything — neither wood, dung, arable land, oil, coal, water, gas, nor integration of population and resources — they can go their merry way. The National Geographic avoids or downplays declining resources (notably oil), and their role in struggling world economies, and lack of U.S. economic progress, and declining U.S. living standards. Its shallow view extends to alternative energies — National Geographic does not mention how unsatisfactory and problematic the net energy returns of alternative energies are.
 
“To buttress their case, National Geographic attempts to discredit Malthus, Ehrlich, and Borlaug. India’s less successful family planning programs are discussed in a positive light, while they level a mean-spirited attack on China’s more successful programs. Central to their viewpoint is the UN Cairo ’90 plan. Cairo ’90 virtually silenced population discussions, replaced all previous helpful approaches with the emotional “solution” of making women feel good, and recommended plans to locate populations in megacities.
 
“There were twelve pages of reasons not to worry before the initial article finally addresses the issue; “but will there be too many of us?” Fifty years ago studies reported, and the public at the time would have agreed, a better question would be: “there are too many of us — how many are sustainable?” Despite the laissez-faire attitude of National Geographic, researchers today conclude that human population numbers should be less than one-third of present levels.”

“Immigration by the numbers—off the chart” by Roy Beck

This 10 minute demonstration shows Americans the results of unending mass immigration on the quality of life and sustainability for future generations:  “Mind boggling!”  www.NumbersUSA.org

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muw22wTePqQ

If that video didn’t sober you as to your children’s future, I don’t know what will.  I’m beyond exasperated that the American people continue to allow this president and our Congress to import this massive human armada onto our shores daily.

What can you do?  You need to become a part of a collective force of Americans that demand a full moratorium on all immigration. You can gain your collective power by joining the following non-partisan organizations working to stop mass legal and illegal migration into this country. 

www.NumbersUSA.org with 1.1 million Americans needs another 10 million members to become so powerful, Congress will be forced to listen.  You will become a tour de force as to faxing prewritten letters and phone calls. Free, quick, effective and easy.  Roy Beck and his team have stopped 59 amnesties in the past 14 years. But he needs 9 million more members. If you do nothing else, join this one single organization to empower yourself and all Americans to stop the onslaught. Tell your friends.

www.CapsWeb.org is Californians for Population Stabilization. Become a member no matter where you live and become a part of their faxing team. Again, free, easy, quick and effective.

www.alipac.us with William Gheen has been fighting illegal immigration for the past 10 years. 

www.firecoalition.org with Jason Mrochek is a powerful grassroots organization that is fighting to stop illegal immigration as well as mass legal immigration. Empower him to empower yourself.

www.TheSocialContract.com will inform you better than any of the Main Stream Media.  This organization shows you exactly what we face as a civilization.

www.FAIRUS.org will give you the information and help to stop mass immigration. It’s one of the oldest organizations for stopping mass immigration.

www.CIS.org with Mark Krikorian and Dr. Steven Camarata present the facts and figures that show our future if we fail to stop mass immigration.

www.worldpopulationbalance.org and www.populationmedia.org will give you sobering understandings as to environmental degradation.

Ultimately, write these outlets and demand they address America’s immigration and population crisis:

[email protected] ; [email protected] ; Brian Williams at [email protected] ; Matt Lauer at  [email protected] ; [email protected] ; [email protected] ; [email protected]; [email protected] ; [email protected] Bob Schieffer “Face the Nation” [email protected] ; David Gregory “Meet the Press” at [email protected] ; Mathews at [email protected]; [email protected] ; [email protected] ; [email protected] ; Terry Gross at NPR at 1-215-351-1200; Charlie Rose 1-212-617-1600 and ask he address overpopulation in America.

Finally, I need your help. Each of you reading this piece can email it to every list of Americans in your network.  Let’s get to work. This is our country.  It’s our watch. Conviction without action is merely entertainment.
