Cut world population and redistribute resources, expert urges
Guardian UK ^ | 4/26/2012 | John Vidal

Posted on 04/27/2012 9:35:49 AM PDT by JohnKinAK

The world's most renowned population analyst has called for a massive reduction in the number of humans and for natural resources to be redistributed from the rich to the poor.

Paul Ehrlich, Bing professor of population studies at Stanford University in California and author of the best-selling Population Bomb book in 1968, goes much further than the Royal Society in London which this morning said that physical numbers were as important as the amount of natural resources consumed.

Link to this audio The optimum population of Earth – enough to guarantee the minimal physical ingredients of a decent life to everyone – was 1.5 to 2 billion people rather than the 7 billion who are alive today or the 9 billion expected in 2050, said Ehrlich in an interview with the Guardian.

"How many you support depends on lifestyles. We came up with 1.5 to 2 billion because you can have big active cities and wilderness. If you want a battery chicken world where everyone has minimum space and food and everyone is kept just about alive you might be able to support in the long term about 4 or 5 billion people. But you already have 7 billion. So we have to humanely and as rapidly as possible move to population shrinkage."

So, who choses to murder the 7.5 billion that needs to go??

All the liberals I know do nothing but sit around (living off someone else) and dictate how others should live. Most are too lazy to even shower. Usually, their hair is so greasy, they could make their own soap.
These are the people who will decide. The "evil" producers, those with jobs, will have to go. It's not fair they have houses, cars, and new shoes.
Of course, after all the productive people have been eliminated, they'll have to decide which liberal will have to....ugh! work and make their bread so all the others can continue to eat.
They would be sooooo screwed. Not one of them would want to budge, let alone know how to make a loaf of bread.

I say we start by euthanizing Paul Ehrlich and giving all his stuff away.

Exemptions from World population cut:

1) Members of the religion of Peace—reducing them would be nonPC

2) Africans—reducing them would be Racist

3) Many of the Spanish speaking nations in North/South America—they were exploited already by Yankee imperialists

4) Homosexuals

5) Indigenous people in the third world—more victims of Western Civilization Exploitation

So, who does that leave:

1) Asians—they will tell the Eugenic crowd to F Off
2) Hindus’—Ditto
3) Israel —already the #1 target for population reduction
4) European/North/South American Whites—#2 on the list and already committing demographic suicide.

Isn’t he dead yet? Seems rather hypocritical that he’s still around?

Can’t one of this guy’s friends read Atlas Shrugged and gently tell him he should stop stealing his lines from the book’s villains? :)

Who is "we?" Are "they" all going to commit mass suicide?

I was told once that the definition of an expert is that they can give you the wrong answer faster than a non expert.

"We have too much consumption among the rich and too little among the poor. That implies that terrible thing that we are going to have to do which is to somehow redistribute access to resources away the rich to the poor.

Youtube the Georgia Guidestones.

youtube Art Bells (radio show) strange phone call from ex-employee at area 51 military base. He says they're going to go after the major population areas.

I'm not so sure the guys a kook anymore. It goes well with what the population control freaks are saying.

"Crazy Satanic Eugenicists."

Most of the wealthiest and most influential constituents in politics share Ehrlich's general opinions.

I’m in. I want Ehrlich’s office desk if all the drawers work. Since he’s being cut can you ask him to ship it priority?
