A window in life

So we enter into a period unlike any time previous in man's time here on this beautiful planet.

Humans can now communicate unlike ever before, from the remotest corners of the planet.


Imagine Captain Cook all those years ago sending a  SMS to his queen; ?

And imagine this world without ever having had any humans ?

Imagine how the planet would look ?

Staggering ? All the animals, forests, insects, marine life - all in harmony

A world in total balance

That time again

So its that time again
Xmas
A festive time built entirely on a fantasy story
And from this story has sprung totally new and fictitious characters
Santa Claus, and many others

We tell our children these stories  - knowing full well that they are total crap
And that that child will spend his or her's entire life trying to re-capture that Xmas spirit that happened to them when they were a child.

A cynic ?
A party destroyer ?

It never happened, never will,

Commercialization  is alive and well
How many lonely people out there find Xmas just so difficult, so painful ?
All for what?

Why do we need some falsehood to create this joyous moment?

Religion
The down-fall of man

Hi all,

Having been involved with recent election events I have become acutely aware at how corrupt our whole political system has become.

Some of you may be aware of Rupert Murdoch’s involvement in the election. Perhaps persuasion is a better word?

A group of Australian who go by the name of Getup produced an advert for TV to try and make people aware of just how RM was manipulating the Australian media. You can catch the clip here

https://www.getup.org.au/campaigns/media/murdochs-election-campaign/get-this-ad-on-the-air

Remember, RM lives in America

OK, so why was/is RM just so against the Australian Labor Party?

Well, RM owns many, many media businesses including newspapers here in Australia and in the UK. Remember the phone scandal in the UK. That was RM

Just some of the business owned by RM

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assets_owned_by_News_Corp#Internet

But why was he so against the ALP? Well RM owns Foxtel, the TV satellite channel group.

And it was the ALP who wheeled out the NBN (National Broadband Network).

Murdoch saw the NBN as a direct threat to his business. With every Australian connected to the internet with high speed fibre optic – there would be no need to have anything like Foxtel. People would leave Foxtel in droves.

RM’s empire would lose a massive value of stock.

So, this eighty year old fool, who owns half of the newspapers in Australia & the UK, gave his support to a political party who had no clear policies and a leader who, if left in the corner of a pub anywhere in Australia would be taken as the town’s piss-head.

Like can you imagine Tony Abbott on the phone to America’s President? Yeah? Really?

So, what can we do? Its three years of this idiot.

In that time, you can bet the NBN will be undermined, sabotaged more like it, so that it becomes highly expensive and therefore unsuccessful. With that, you can be sure; the LNP party coffers will grow in value, ready for the next election.

It has nothing to do with political ideals or plans or goals.

It all comes back to a few individuals who control most of what we see and do.

We need to take back control

Election 2013

Later this year we Australians must vote.

Instead of voting for either of the two main parties, consider the alternative - No - not the Greens.
Any one considering the greens should read their immigration policy very carefully.
Basically their immigration policy is to allow anyone and everyone into Australia.

So instead - there is a choice - read and research the below -


The Stable Population Party.
http://www.populationparty.org.au/

Why the refrain?

Why is it in these worrying times when we keep seeing articles in our media about all the problems we face in the world today; that no one will mention the real root of all our problems?

Over population

The underlying principle problem of all our issues is due to the fact that there are too many humans in the world. Every living creature in the planet is suffering because of our population numbers.

And why are there so many humans?

Before the discovery of oil the world's human population was less than 2 billion. This population number was perhaps sustainable, and had been at that level for quite some time.

Now, with the many, many benefits of oil and its various by-products, the world’s population has grown.

Try and imagine a world without oil?

No trucks, buses or cars. No ships powered by oil. No jet aircraft.

No tractors, no fertilizers.

No chemicals, no plastics.

Mining would be greatly reduced.

The world’s current population could simply not exist without the enhance food generation that oil has enabled.

Imagine how the great world wars would have been without the availability of oil?  No tanks, no planes, no transport, etc.

The discovery of one single component has changed the world entirely.

Our modern suburbs have been designed around the fact that we all have motor cars. What happened to the local corner store?

When I was a boy, living in Melbourne, there was a milk bar within walking distance, selling milk and bread. Now, we must drive kilometres to the nearest shopping centre.

And these shopping centres; has anyone noticed how insulated these centres make us all feel. We walk around in air-conditioned comfort with piped music, an environment which is designed to make us feel good, to encourage us to spend.

In nature, most animals will refrain from breeding if conditions are unsuitable to sustain their population.

And here we are today, living in a world of vast amounts of credit; where it is estimated that we have consumed more than what our planet Earth can support. We borrow vast amounts of money to enable some of us to live beyond our means.  Various countries are printing money like it was confetti.

Our own Prime Minister has no regard for restraint when it comes to spending other people’s money. Australia’s deficit now stands at $15 billion.

Why can't the world talk about reducing the population?

If man can fly to the moon; why can’t he control his numbers?

Life should be about quality, not quantity.

Women around the world need to be informed, to have the choice. Studies have shown that educated women will have fewer children than their sisters who never have the chance to gain an education.

This subject needs to be in the media every day, before it’s too late.

Our newly re-elected Prime Minister has been quoted saying he sees an Australia with a population of over 40 million.

Imagine the chaos?

The Greens immigration policy is basically an open border policy with little or no limit. They seem to believe that Australia has vast open plains just waiting for development and habitation. Have any of these people ever ventured inland, and seen just how arid and desolate inland Australia is?

Why should we allow New Zealanders an open ticket to come as they please?

Stop all forms of Baby Bonus and child endowment.

 Alter the tax rate so that couples who have more than two children pay a higher tax rate.

Refugees with genuine needs and documentation should be considered.

If this image concerns you, why not look to an alternative political party such as the Stable Population party.

There is a choice.

Food Security: Lessons from the Middle East

by John Coulter,

Two things stand out in regard to recent happenings in Egypt and other Middle East countries:

1.The central role that the mismatch between population size and growth, and the resource

base required for population support has played in the genesis of political unrest and

2.The failure of most of the mainstream media to investigate and explain these links.

In 1960 Egypt’s population was 27.8 million. Egypt was a net exporter of food. By 2008 population had grown to 81.7 million and Egypt was importing 40% of total food consumption and 60% of its grain requirements. Only 3% of Egypt is arable almost all along the Nile Valley and that is where most population growth has taken place. Arable land per capita is .04Ha.

Future food security looks even bleaker with population growing at 2% pa which, if continued, would give Egypt a population of 164 million in 2046.

Most readers of this Newsletter would have read then description of modern industrial agriculture as ‘the process of using land to turn oil into food’ and nothing illustrates this critical link more clearly than Egypt’s recent history. Despite declining per capita food production, Egypt was able to maintain a supply of relatively cheap food because it was a net exporter of oil. But Egyptian oil production peaked in about 1996 and since then has fallen approximately 30%. In 2006 Egypt became a net importer of oil. While Egypt was a net exporter Hosni Mubarak was able to subsidise both

food and fuel; once Egypt became a net importer of oil this was no longer possible.

In the 1980s Saudi Arabia began growing irrigated wheat across its deserts using fossil ground water and depleting aquifers which for millennia had fed desert oases. The large green irrigated circles could be seen from the window of a high flying international jet. The cost of this wheat production was approximately four times the world price and its future was clearly limited. The fossil water is rapidly disappearing and Saudi Arabia will cease wheat production in about 2015. Meanwhile, the Saudis can continue to buy wheat and other foods on international markets trading oil for

food. When their oil runs down they will be in the same predicament as Egyptians today.

Yemen is further down this road of food and water insecurity. The fossil aquifer underlying the capital, Sana’a, has been almost totally consumed and Yemen’s small oil reserves are expected to be gone by about 2017. Population has increased from ~4 million to ~24 million in the last 60 years and the population growth rate is among the highest in the world, each Yemeni woman bearing, on average, 5 children. Libya is exploiting what is often described as ‘vast deposits’ of water under the Sahara in the south of the country. But like Saudi Arabia, these are fossil deposits which, when depleted will be gone forever.

For the moment Libya can import food using revenue generated by oil exports – but these are also finite. So while the arguments and turmoil over democratisation, political freedom and social justice, discussed at length in the mainstream media are important, the factor that is little discussed but which will ultimately determine the fate of these countries is population size, water, oil and consequently food. And what are the lessons for Australia? Compared with many other countries Australia has an apparently generous supply of arable land per capita. But our land is not nearly as productive. Wheat production in the decade between 1998 and 2007 varied between 0.7 and 1.5 tonnes/Ha compared with the US and UK at ~2.8 tonnes/Ha. Moreover, production varies widely from year to year: 24.3 million and 25.7 million tonnes being produced in 2001 and 2003 respectively, but only 10 million tonnes in 2002.

Our grain production is heavily oil and phosphorus dependent. These vital resources will come from

overseas in future and be dependent on sustainable export oriented production, not on the exploitation of non-renewable and finite resources as at present. Production is very likely to be adversely affected by climate change.

Compared with most industrialised countries we have rapid population growth, the deliberate policy of Federal and State Governments of both major parties. Peri-urban productive land is disappearing under houses, roads and associated infrastructure as a consequence. Vegetable imports  began to exceed exports in 2002-3 and fruit imports exceeded exports after 2006-7.

It is not too far-fetched to suggest that within the next decade or two we shall see serious social unrest in Australia the cause of which will be the deliberate policies of our present governments to pursue rapid population growth and pay scant attention to food security which in turn is closely linked to oil, phosphorus, water and climate change.
