			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Dudo Erny has written a new book called <a href="http://babbling-green.com" target="_blank">Babbling Green</a> which highlights the main issue we here at NGF have been discussing for many years.  Overpopulation is for some reason a taboo topic among most environmentalists.  The earth might be technically capable of supporting a much larger population, a fact that is commonly dragged out as a way to dispel the whole idea of overpopulation as nothing but a myth.  Billions of people live in poverty around the world and most of the earths 29 megacities (cities with populations over 10 million) are in developing countries where economic, political, and social issues prevent any sort of care to be taken in dealing with the environment and management of local resources.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.babbling-green.com/babbling-green.jpg" alt="" width="217" height="350" />For example, <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/oct/15/philippines-overpopulation-crisis?mobile-redirect=false" target="_blank">Manila is a city with 20 million people</a> and growing by 250,000 per year.  Space is so scarce that hospitals pack 4 or 5 mothers per bed with their newborn babies into beds.  Pollution is rampant and the general quality of life is quite terrible.  Why is Manila so overpopulated?  Well, the majority of people are Catholic and contraception is taboo.  As a result, having 4, 5, 6, or more children is not an uncommon thing.</p>
<p>We commend Dudo for tackling this issue and certainly consider him to be a friend of the future.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The &#8220;<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_discovery_channel_gunman" target="_blank">Discovery Channel Gunman</a>&#8221; has been in the news quite a bit and while most people wrote him off as just some crazy liberal nutjob, few people actually read his demands and took note of what he was trying to achieve.</p>
<p>I disagree with his thinking that the Discovery Channel held the key to solving world overpopulation.  And holding them hostage resulted in only reducing the population by 1.  A terribly inefficient way of doing things.</p>
<p>Aside from that, what he says in his letter is pretty in line with what we have been discussing here at NGF for years.  We certainly do need to stop promoting reproduction.  Everywhere you turn society is trying to convince you to have any many babies as possible.  Even if you are unable to support the babies, people will insist on you having more and assure you that they will be taken care of so that they can grow up and have multitudes of children themselves.</p>
<p>While the overall birthrate of the world has decline in the last several decades, it is just not good enough.  More public education needs to be done on the benefits of not having children.</p>
<p>For your convenience we have pasted Mr. Lee&#8217;s letter below.</p>
<blockquote><p><img class="alignleft" src="http://d.yimg.com/a/p/ap/20100901/capt.8463a92c1b9c4f4bb87e2b69443df6c1-8463a92c1b9c4f4bb87e2b69443df6c1-0.jpg?x=213&amp;y=281&amp;xc=1&amp;yc=1&amp;wc=311&amp;hc=410&amp;q=85&amp;sig=JvbWIS4SjwwV64nK_KrsBg--" alt="" width="213" height="281" />The Discovery Channel MUST broadcast to the world their commitment to save the planet and to do the following IMMEDIATELY:</p>
<p>1. The Discovery Channel and it&#8217;s affiliate channels MUST have daily  television programs at prime time slots based on Daniel Quinn&#8217;s &#8220;My  Ishmael&#8221; pages 207-212 where solutions to save the planet would be done  in the same way as the Industrial Revolution was done, by people  building on each other&#8217;s inventive ideas. Focus must be given on how  people can live WITHOUT giving birth to more filthy human children since  those new additions continue pollution and are pollution. A game show  format contest would be in order. Perhaps also forums of leading  scientists who understand and agree with the Malthus-Darwin science and  the problem of human overpopulation. Do both. Do all until something  WORKS and the natural world starts improving and human civilization  building STOPS and is reversed! MAKE IT INTERESTING SO PEOPLE WATCH AND  APPLY SOLUTIONS!!!!</p>
<p>2. All programs on Discovery Health-TLC must stop encouraging the birth  of any more parasitic human infants and the false heroics behind those  actions. In those programs&#8217; places, programs encouraging human  sterilization and infertility must be pushed. All former pro-birth  programs must now push in the direction of stopping human birth, not  encouraging it.</p>
<p>3. All programs promoting War and the technology behind those must  cease. There is no sense in advertising weapons of mass-destruction  anymore. Instead, talk about ways to disassemble civilization and  concentrate the message in finding SOLUTIONS to solving global military  mechanized conflict. Again, solutions solutions instead of just  repeating the same old wars with newer weapons. Also, keep out the  fraudulent peace movements. They are liars and fakes and had no real  intention of ending the wars. ALL OF THEM ARE FAKE! On one hand, they  claim they want the wars to end, on the other, they are demanding the  human population increase. World War II had 2 Billion humans and after  that war, the people decided that tripling the population would assure  peace. WTF??? STUPIDITY! MORE HUMANS EQUALS MORE WAR!</p>
<p>4. Civilization must be exposed for the filth it is. That, and all its  disgusting religious-cultural roots and greed. Broadcast this message  until the pollution in the planet is reversed and the human population  goes down! This is your obligation. If you think it isn&#8217;t, then get hell  off the planet! Breathe Oil! It is the moral obligation of everyone  living otherwise what good are they??</p>
<p>5. Immigration: Programs must be developed to find solutions to stopping  ALL immigration pollution and the anchor baby filth that follows that.  Find solutions to stopping it. Call for people in the world to develop  solutions to stop it completely and permanently. Find solutions FOR  these countries so they stop sending their breeding populations to the  US and the world to seek jobs and therefore breed more unwanted  pollution babies. FIND SOLUTIONS FOR THEM TO STOP THEIR HUMAN GROWTH AND  THE EXPORTATION OF THAT DISGUSTING FILTH! (The first world is feeding  the population growth of the Third World and those human families are  going to where the food is! They must stop procreating new humans  looking for nonexistant jobs!)</p>
<p>6. Find solutions for Global Warming, Automotive pollution,  International Trade, factory pollution, and the whole blasted human  economy. Find ways so that people don&#8217;t build more housing pollution  which destroys the environment to make way for more human filth! Find  solutions so that people stop breeding as well as stopping using Oil in  order to REVERSE Global warming and the destruction of the planet!</p>
<p>7. Develop shows that mention the Malthusian sciences about how food  production leads to the overpopulation of the Human race. Talk about  Evolution. Talk about Malthus and Darwin until it sinks into the stupid  people&#8217;s brains until they get it!!</p>
<p>8. Saving the Planet means saving what&#8217;s left of the non-human Wildlife  by decreasing the Human population. That means stopping the human race  from breeding any more disgusting human babies! You&#8217;re the media, you  can reach enough people. It&#8217;s your resposibility because you reach so  many minds!!!</p>
<p>9. Develop shows that will correct and dismantle the dangerous US world  economy. Find solutions for their disasterous Ponzi-Casino economy  before they take the world to another nuclear war.</p>
<p>10. Stop all shows glorifying human birthing on all your channels and on  TLC. Stop Future Weapons shows or replace the dialogue condemning the  people behind these developments so that the shows become exposes rather  than advertisements of Arms sales and development!</p>
<p>11. You&#8217;re also going to find solutions for unemployment and housing.  All these unemployed people makes me think the US is headed toward more  war.</p>
<p>Humans are the most destructive, filthy, pollutive creatures around and  are wrecking what&#8217;s left of the planet with their false morals and  breeding culture.</p>
<p>For every human born, ACRES of wildlife forests must be turned into  farmland in order to feed that new addition over the course of 60 to 100  YEARS of that new human&#8217;s lifespan! THIS IS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE  FOREST CREATURES!!!! All human procreation and farming must cease!</p>
<p>It is the responsiblity of everyone to preserve the planet they live on  by not breeding any more children who will continue their filthy  practices. Children represent FUTURE catastrophic pollution whereas  their parents are current pollution. NO MORE BABIES! Population growth  is a real crisis. Even one child born in the US will use 30 to a  thousand times more resources than a Third World child. It&#8217;s like a  couple are having 30 babies even though it&#8217;s just one! If the US goes in  this direction maybe other countries will too!</p>
<p>Also, war must be halted. Not because it&#8217;s morally wrong, but because of  the catastrophic environmental damage modern weapons cause to other  creatures. FIND SOLUTIONS JUST LIKE THE BOOK SAYS! Humans are supposed  to be inventive. INVENT, DAMN YOU!!</p>
<p>The world needs TV shows that DEVELOP solutions to the problems that  humans are causing, not stupify the people into destroying the world.  Not encouraging them to breed more environmentally harmful humans.</p>
<p>Saving the environment and the remaning species diversity of the planet  is now your mindset. Nothing is more important than saving them. The  Lions, Tigers, Giraffes, Elephants, Froggies, Turtles, Apes, Raccoons,  Beetles, Ants, Sharks, Bears, and, of course, the Squirrels.</p>
<p>The humans? The planet does not need humans.</p>
<p>You MUST KNOW the human population is behind all the pollution and  problems in the world, and YET you encourage the exact opposite instead  of discouraging human growth and procreation. Surely you MUST ALREADY  KNOW this!</p>
<p>I want Discovery Communications to broadcast on their channels to the  world their new program lineup and I want proof they are doing so. I  want the new shows started by asking the public for inventive solution  ideas to save the planet and the remaining wildlife on it.</p>
<p>These are the demands and sayings of Lee.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We could all learn a thing or two from this <a href="http://www.nataliedee.com" target="_blank">Natalie Dee comic</a></p>
<p>One thing that many environmentalists get wrong is they are trying to save the planet for the selfish reason of saving themselves. This will only hasten the destruction of the planet through overpopulation. The only way to save the planet is to dramatically reduce the population.</p>
<p>Do you know why Fiji has a relatively small population today in comparison to many of their neighbors? Because for thousands of years they were cannibals. No one wanted to vacation in Fiji because it meant getting eaten and as a result the people who survived were able to fully benefit from the pristine beauty and untouched natural resources of Fiji without having to deal with overpopulation. If each family would just eat 1 or 2 people a year, it would dramatically reduce the population of the planet and make life better for everyone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks to Mexico&#8217;s lax safety standards, 35 children were killed in a <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090606/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/lt_mexico_children_killed">daycare fire</a> yesterday.  The daycare is housed in a former warehouse with only a few small inaccessible windows and only one exit.

<p>Mexico has a long history of large death tolls due to it&#8217;s obvious disdain for safety. Why worry about a pandemic when they kill helpless children by essentially trapping them in a burning warehouse with only one way out?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The swine flu is already showing a similar trait to the 1918 Spanish flu. Reuters is reporting that a Mexican health official said most of the fatal flu victims were between ages 25 &#8211; 45. This is typically very unusual for an influenza outbreak because this age group is young, strong, and normally able to fight off sickness. The Spanish flu had the same effect on about the same age group. This could be huge.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 19 18 Spanish flu pandemic killed over 50 million people and infected up to 40 percent of the global population. It was an exceptionally well mutated form of influenza that killed even the strong and healthy within 24 hours of getting sick.  A global culling that we here at NGF can only hope happens again soon.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="Swine Flu Pandemic" src="http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/media/ALeqM5i19oluMHj0KiBvVHjbwp_cCkZncw" alt="" width="208" height="150" /></p>
<p>A new strain of influenza dubbed the swine flu has emerged in Mexico and the southwest United States.  A fascinating recombinant strain of swine, avian, and human.  Unlike the recent bird flu scares, this A H1N1 strain actually appears to be very good at human-to-human transmission.  News out of Mexico suggests that up to 60 out of 800 infected have already died.  Such a high mortality rate suggests that we could be in for quite a treat in the coming weeks.  Unfortunately the WHO and CDC are on the scene preparing to take containment measures.  We can only hope they are too late.</p>
<p>Stay tuned to New Global Future for updates on this developing story.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Normally we are not big fans of the FDA, they approve drugs that extend the human lifespan and make sure food is safe to eat. But today, they finally did something good. Well, partially good. Over the last number of years, the movement to force children to bear more children has been going pretty strong in this country.</p>
<p>Aside from telling kids con<img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-110" title="Plan B" src="http://www.newglobalfuture.com/wp-content/nm_plan_b_070914_ms2-300x225.jpg" alt="Plan B" width="240" height="196" />doms almost always fail or teaching them to pretend no one has sex until marriage, the child procreation movement came to a peak in 2006 when the FDA decided that you needed to be 18 to get the Plan B contraceptive without a prescription.</p>
<p>But today they <a href="http://www.forbes.com/feeds/hscout/2009/04/22/hscout626347.html">announced that the age has been dropped to 17</a>.  Although they could do much better by making it available to anyone who needs it regardless of age, the fact that over 40% of 17 year olds are sexually active means that tens of thousands of babies may never be born because of Plan B.</p>
<p>And this makes us happy.    <img src='http://www.newglobalfuture.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our friends at DuPont are one of the world&#8217;s largest users of perfluorooctanoic acid, used to make Teflon, which is used to coat cookware, clothing, carpet, the metrodome, etc.  The best part about this carcinogen is that it doesn&#8217;t break down!  It accumulates in our bodies and the bodies of animals forever, which is why now 95% of the human population has this chemical in their blood.  DuPont has done an outstanding job at contributing to the rise in cancer rates globally.</p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time DuPont has done something good for the future.   DuPont also invented chlorofluorocarbons, which helped create holes in the ozone layer.  They would have been successful if only given a few more years to do their work.  But legislation around the globe stopped CFC&#8217;s in their tracks.</p>
<p>Keep up the good work DuPont!</p>
