What utter nonsense is this idea of foreign aid when it is patently clear to all but the most wilfully obstinate that for every ear of corn we send them, we get a barrel of oil in return. What the heck is Iraq all about...or the corrupt Saudis for that matter.
Aid is just another variant of the trickle down theory the fattie non-capitalists are being fed in the West whilst Wall Street takes our revenues in exchange for bailout monies. One dollar to me in trickle down, 10 to them in caviare bailout. Aid is the biggest scam on this planet apart from the bailout and you people ought to know better.
Secondly, whats the use in dying off the 80% consuming the 20% when the 20% consuming the 80% are left to survive, grow and flourish. This is the maths of the dumb or the wilfully obese.
I am all for population control. BUT, I am all for the fatties learning to eat and forage less AS WELL, as a primary goal in fact. Theres no moralising in this. Just the recognition that along with population control, we need to comprehensively remove the mechanisms that enable fatties to flourish and over consume.
The religions that fatty elites need and utilise to keep the non-capitalised fatties plus the skinnies in ignorance to name one set of mechanisms. We have a fellow in here sugesting that Wahhabist Saudi Arabia, the heart of the Islamic world and the source of extremist Islam utilise oil to depopulate. Whats the chances of that happening? If Saudi were to initiate any reduction programmes that smack of anti-Koranism, out goes the whole edifice of the Islamic scam, gender control, labour exploitation and the other top heavy advantages. Likewise in pro-US Latin America. The most progressive forces complete with their programmes of female empowerment are consistently under attack by the forces of pro-US regression, invariably wrapped up in Vatican or evangelical hoopla and their absurd notions of the sanctity of unborn life. Same scenario in Catholic Asia. Africa....well, as we all know, they're just one big commodities pantry complete with compliant regimes with Swiss bank accounts to boot.
You can huff and puff all you like, but as long as you have these pro-lifer nutjobs working in collusion with Wall Street to prop up half-assed regimes with voodoo and fairy tales, you ain't gunna get population limits. AND, as long as you don't see you own role in all of this in terms of being less of a glutton, the obese will increase in numbers (China and India) as will the numbers of those with hunger distended bellies.
The world is what ideas proliferate. Feed it full of religious and economic nonsense, and you get nonsense out the other end.
