Overpopulation: resource scarcity to create wars

By Frosty Wooldridge

John Wayne said, “Life is tough; it’s even tougher if you’re stupid.”

Clint Eastwood said, “Whiskey’s for drinking; water is for fighting.”

In a sobering piece, Jason Brent spoke about “What will resource wars produce.”          

“In 70 A.D. the Roman general Titus laid siege to the city of Jerusalem,” said Brent. “That siege, of course, prevented food and other supplies from reaching the inhabitants of the city and starvation, horrible starvation occurred. Resource wars will prevent people from obtaining food and massive starvation occur.

“We should examine what happened in Jerusalem to learn what will happen in the very near future when humanity has exceeded resources which the Earth can provide causing starvation, massive horrible and all pervasive starvation. What is written below is taken from the works of the Jewish historian, Josephus, and set forth in his book “The Jewish War” and from the book “Jerusalem” written by Simon Sebag Montefiore?

“Armed gangs prowled for food. Children grabbed the morsels from their fathers’ hands; mothers stole the tidbits of their own babies. Locked doors suggested hidden provisions and the warriors broke in, driving stakes up their victims’ rectums to force them to reveal their caches of grain. If they found nothing they were even more barbarously cruel as if they had been defrauded. Even though the fighters themselves still had food, they killed and tortured out of habit to keep their madness in exercise. Jerusalem was riven by witch-hunts as people denounced each other as hoarders and traitors. 

“The young wandered the streets like shadows, all swollen with famine, and fell down dead, wherever their misery seized them. People died trying to bury their families while others were buried carelessly, still breathing. Famine devoured whole families in their homes. Jerusalemites saw their loved ones die with dry eyes and open mouths.

“Even the fighters started to run out of food, so they too probed and dissected the quick and the dead, for gold, for crumbs, for mere seeds, stumbling and staggering like mad dogs. They ate cow dung, leather, girdles, shoes and old hay.  A rich woman named Mary, having lost all her money and food, became so demented that she killed her own son and roasted him, eating half and keeping the rest for later.

“The delicious aroma crept across the city. The rebels savored it, sought it and smashed into the house, but even those practiced hatchet men, on seeing the child’s half-eaten body, went out trembling.

“The above describes what will happen when the human population exceeds the ability of the earth to provide the resources (the food) needed for the population to survive and the cause of these actions must be directly assigned to those who oppose abortion because without abortion the population will continue to grow until the earth can no longer provide the resources needed by humanity.”
