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.

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.

Stupid

The developed economies in the world use a system of GDP - Gross Domestic Product to measure the state of the economy.
Whilst those in big business may find this form of measure comforting and helpful it really is a stupid and naive measurement of a countries state of health.
Perhaps 200 years ago it may have been OK to continue with this type of  gauge but now with the worlds population beyond a sustainable level it is totally ridiculous to urge the planet's population into further consumption.
We have already consumed more than this planet can sustain.
What should be used as a gauge is a form of Prosperity measure - where a countries total population (and not the upper 20%) are valued against a measure of ideals considered worthy in a modern world.
For example; running fresh water, sewerage system, power generation & type, education, health & so on.

Not by how many flat screen LED televisions we own or the number of new cars sold..!

Again, it comes back to the boys in the back rooms, pushing for growth via an ever expanding population, regardless of the final cost.

Xmas

So what is Xmas then?
From a child we we're taught that it celebrates a person's birthday, and his name was Jesus.
OK...
This dude's mother became pregnant without having sex with any partner?
OK ..?
But she had a mate called Joseph- what he hung about for.. who knows.. maybe he liked boys.
OK..?
So they fell into an old barn - it was holiday season and the place was full, and Mary gave birth to Jesus.
Pretty straight forward... isn't it? Apart from the fact that no sex was involved.
What I don't understand is what did this Jesus do as he grew up.... like we are told that later as an adult he did really special things (had special powers) - but what was he doing while he was say 8 years old?
Just imagine the fun he could of had at school then - with all those powers ..... like the chalk disappearing, or the teachers dress slowly rising around her as she stood at the blackboard. Cool eh?
But hang on...... we don't seem to hear much about that period do we...
I'm sure though that some anorak some place has all the gen on this period.
Like how he had already invented a stone computer which ran on bread crumbs.

But we must'n forget... Jesus did all this for us.....Hmmm ......uhmm.... like .....what?
We are so much better off aren't we ?

What would the world be like otherwise?
There would be total chaos.... like there isn't now..!

Who could it be?

Could you guess who could be the responsible inhabitant of this planet:
Who has destroyed more life forms on this planet than any other inhabitant?
Who takes from the earth and never replaces what they take?
Who consumes more plant life than any other animal or insect?
Who pollutes the atmosphere ?
Who defecates in their own water supply?


Hmmm ..?
You know who.


Reminds me of the song by the Eagles - The Last Resort:

She came from Providence,
the one in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hang
heavy in the air
She packed her hopes and dreams
like a refugee
Just as her father came across the sea
She heard about a place people were smilin'
They spoke about the red man's way,
and how they loved the land
And they came from everywhere
to the Great Divide
Seeking a place to stand
or a place to hide

Down in the crowded bars,
out for a good time,
Can't wait to tell you all,
what it's like up there
And they called it paradise
I don't know why
Somebody laid the mountains low
while the town got high

Then the chilly winds blew down
Across the desert
through the canyons of the coast, to
the Malibu
Where the pretty people play,
hungry for power
to light their neon way
and give them things to do

Some rich men came and raped the land,
Nobody caught 'em
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus,
people bought 'em
And they called it paradise
The place to be
They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea

You can leave it all behind
and sail to Lahaina
just like the missionaries did, so many years ago
They even brought a neon sign: "Jesus is coming"
Brought the white man's burden down
Brought the white man's reign

Who will provide the grand design?
What is yours and what is mine?
'Cause there is no more new frontier
We have got to make it here

We satisfy our endless needs and
justify our bloody deeds,
in the name of destiny and the name of God

And you can see them there,
On Sunday morning
They stand up and sing about
what it's like up there
They call it paradise
I don't know why
You call someplace paradise,
kiss it goodbye 

Unspoken

Being aware of just how close we are to becoming overpopulated (world) I've noticed just how little the subject of overpopulation is mentioned?
Its almost as if its a taboo subject.
Why is that?
All the ancient civilizations that have disappeared before us: perhaps now it is becoming clear just what may have happened to them? History does seem to repeat itself.
We don't seem to be capable to learn or observe; we are obsessed with greed.
Man created religion to keep the masses in check; so that those in power could manipulate the masses to their own selfish needs.
With life threatening signs staring at the church,  the likes of the Pope carry on as if nothing has changed over the centuries. Keep fornicating the catholic church enthuses. Have lots of children.  


What drivel. 
You can see them now; as the winds blow away their silly hats and robes, the tides rising, people starving - and the religious praying to their god.
Just as those ancient peoples did so many years before, except their god then may have been the sun or the moon - it didn't matter,- as there was no god. 
Their time on this world ended.
And what do we do about it?
Brush it under the carpet - quick - before anyone notices!


Where's that TV guide? Whats on TV?
Nice day.
