Depopulation

Adam Smith Thomas Malthus Charles Darwin
(1723-1790) (1766-1834) (1809-1882)

He (man) generally, indeed, neither intends
to promote the public interest, nor knows how
much he is promoting it. By preferring the
support of domestic to that of foreign industry,
he intends only his own security; and by
directing that industry in such a manner as its
produce may be of the greatest value, he
intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in
many other cases, led by an invisible hand to
promote an end which was no part of his
intention.

— Adam Smith
Wealth of Nations ,1776

“To man is allotted a much humbler
department... Nature has directed us to the
greater part of these by original and
immediate instincts. Hunger, thirst, the passion
which unites the two sexes, the love of
pleasure, and the dread of pain, prompt us to
apply those means for their own sakes, and
without any consideration of their tendency to
those beneficent ends which the great
Director of nature intended to produce by
them.”

— Adam Smith
Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)

All children who are born, beyond what would
be required to keep up the population to a
desired level, must necessarily perish, unless
room be made for them by the death of grown
persons... Therefore... we should facilitate,
instead of foolishly and vainly endeavoring to
impede, the operations of nature in producing
this mortality; and if we dread the too frequent
visitation of the horrid form of famine, we
should sedulously encourage the other forms of
destruction, which we compel nature to use…

— Parson Thomas Malthus
from An Essay on the Principle of Population (1798 to 1826)

…Instead of recommending cleanliness to the poor,
we should encourage contrary habits. In our towns
we should make the streets narrower, crowd more
people into the houses, and court the return of the
plague. In the country, we should build our villages
near stagnant pools, and particularly encourage
settlement in all marshy and unwholesome
situations. But above all we should reprobate
specific remedies for ravaging diseases; and restrain
those benevolent, but much mistaken men, who
have thought they are doing a service to mankind
by protecting schemes for the total extirpation of
particular disorders.

MALTHUS INFLUENCE ON DARWIN
In October 1838, that is, fifteen months after I
had begun my systematic inquiry, I happened to
read for amusement Malthus on Population, and
being well prepared to appreciate the struggle
for existence which everywhere goes on from
long-continued observation of the habits of
animals and plants, it at once struck me that
under these circumstances favourable variations
would tend to be preserved, and unfavourable
ones to be destroyed. The results of this would be
the formation of a new species. Here, then I had
at last got a theory by which to work.

— Charles Darwin, from his autobiography (1876)

"The Struggle for Existence amongst all organic beings
throughout the world... inevitably follows from their high
geometrical powers of increase... This is the doctrine of
Malthus, applied to the whole animal and vegetable
kingdoms. As many more individuals of each species are
born than can possibly survive; and as, consequently,
there is a frequently recurring struggle for existence, it
follows that any being, if it vary however slightly in any
manner profitable to itself... will have a better chance of
surviving, and thus be naturally selected."

Bertrand Russell
1872 – 1970

“But bad times, you may say, are exceptional, and can be
dealt with by exceptional methods. This has been more or less
true during the honeymoon period of industrialism, but it will
not remain true unless the increase of population can be
enormously diminished. At present the population of the
world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has
had no very great effect on this increase, which continued
through each of the world wars… War… has hitherto been
disappointing in this respect… but perhaps bacteriological
war may prove more effective. If a Black Death could spread
throughout the world once in every generation, survivors
could procreate freely without making the world too full…
The state of affairs might be somewhat unpleasant, but what
of it? Really high-minded people are indifferent to happiness,
especially other people’s.”

— Bertrand Russell
The Impact of Science on Society (1953)

“Socialism, especially international socialism, is only
possible as a stable system if the population is stationary
or nearly so. A slow increase might be coped with by
improvements in agricultural methods, but a rapid
increase must in the end reduce the whole population to
penury… The white population of the world will soon
cease to increase. The Asiatic races will be longer, and
the negroes still longer, before their birth rate falls
sufficiently to make their numbers stable without help of
war and pestilence…Until that happens, the benefits
aimed at by socialism can only be partially realized, and
the less prolific races will have to defend themselves
against the more prolific by methods which are
disgusting even if they are necessary.”

The Prospects of Industrial Civilization (1923)

“I think the subject which will be of most
importance politically is mass psychology… Its
importance has been enormously increased by
the growth of modern methods of propaganda.
Of these the most influential is what is called
‘education.’ Religion plays a part, though a
diminishing one; the press, the cinema, and the
radio play an increasing part… It may be hoped
that in time anybody will be able to persuade
anybody of anything if he can catch the patient
young and is provided by the State with money
and equipment…


…The subject will make great strides when it is
taken up by scientists under a scientific
dictatorship… The social psychologists of the future
will have a number of classes of school children on
whom they will try different methods of producing
an unshakable conviction that snow is black.
Various results will soon be arrived at. First, that the
influence of home is obstructive. Second, that not
much can be done unless indoctrination begins
before the age of ten. Third, that verses set to
music and repeatedly intoned are very effective.
Fourth, that the opinion that snow is white must be
held to show a morbid taste for eccentricity…


…But I anticipate. It is for future scientists to make
these maxims precise and discover exactly how
much it costs per head to make children believe
that snow is black, and how much less it would cost
to make them believe it is dark gray.

Although this science will be diligently studied, it will
be rigidly confined to the governing class. The
populace will not be allowed to know how its
convictions were generated. When the technique
has been perfected, every government that has
been in charge of education for a generation will
be able to control its subjects securely without the
need of armies or policemen.”

something to solve overpopulation.”
++ Reported by Deutsche Press Agentur (August 1988) ++

“I just wonder what it would be like to be
reincarnated in an animal whose species had
been so reduced in numbers that it was in danger
of extinction. What would be its feelings toward the
human species whose population explosion had
denied it somewhere to exist… I must confess that I
am tempted to ask for reincarnation as a particularly
deadly virus.”

“Human population growth is probably the single most
serious long-term threat to survival. We’re in for a major
disaster if it isn't curbed—not just for the natural world, but
for the human world. The more people there are, the more
resources they’ll consume, the more pollution they’ll create,
the more fighting they will do. We have no option. If it isn’t
controlled voluntarily, it will be controlled involuntarily by an
increase in disease, starvation and war.”

“I don’t claim to have any special interest in natural

“For example, the World Health Organization Project,
designed to eradicate malaria from Sri Lanka in the
post-war years, achieved its purpose. But the
problem today is that Sri Lanka must feed three times
as many mouths, find three times as many jobs,
provide three times the housing, energy, schools,
hospitals and land for settlement in order to maintain
the same standards. Little wonder the natural
environment and wildlife in Sri Lanka has suffered.
The fact [is] ... that the best-intentioned aid programs
are at least partially responsible for the problems.”

“So long as they [birth control methods]... remained taboo
subjects the chances of making any impression on the
human population explosion were that much more remote.
“In the introduction to the IUCN Red Data Books which list all
animals and plants under threat of extinction, it says that
virtually everywhere the major threat to a wild species is loss
of habitat to a rapidly increasing human population requiring
more space in order to build villages and cities and grow
more food. But starvation and poverty cannot be
eradicated solely by increased food and resources at the
expense of what remains of the natural world. Any increase
in the provision of food and resources must be
accompanied by a drastic reduction in the rate of increase
in the human population.”

Sir David Attenborough & Prince Philip

Here is the genocidal speech by Sir David Attenborough on
his reception of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of
Arts (RSA) prize on March 10, 2011. Prince Philip is the RSA
president.

With Prince Philip himself chairing the meeting,
Attenborough, a "naturalist," stated: "We now realize that
the disasters that continue increasingly to afflict the natural
world have one element that connects them all--the
unprecedented increase in the number of human beings
on this planet," as Malthus warned. But no one proposes the
necessary measures to curb human population, which
makes every problem worse.

"Why this strange silence... There seems to be some bizarre
taboo around the subject... There are over 100 countries
whose combinations of numbers and affluence have already
pushed them past the sustainable level... It is tragic that the
only current population policies in developed countries are,
perversely, attempting to increase their birth rate, in order to
look after the growing number of old people. The notion of
ever more old people needing ever more young people, who
will in turn grow old and need even more young people, and
so on, ad infinitum, is an obvious ecological Ponzi scheme."

Attenborough calls "the one glimmer of hope" that "wherever
women have the vote, are literate, and can control the
number of children they bear, the birth rate falls. In Kerala,
India, all these factors come together to produce 1.7 births
per woman; in India as a whole, the fertility rate is 2.8 births
per woman. But compare that with the Catholic Philippines,
where it is 3.3..."

Each of us must "break the taboo, in private and in
public... Wherever and whenever we speak of the
environment--add a few words to ensure that the
population element is not ignored. If you are a
member of a relevant NGO, invite them to
acknowledge it. If you belong to a Church—and
especially if you are a Catholic—because its
doctrine on contraception is a major factor in this
problem, suggest they consider the ethical issues
involved... If you have contacts in government, ask
why the growth of our population which affects
every department is yet no one's responsibility. Big,
empty Australia has appointed a Sustainable
Population Minister, so why can't small, crowded
Britain?"

Prince Philip, the President of the RSA for 59 years,
corrected Attenborough, that the first major
environmentalist organization was not WWF, but IUCN
—the International Union for the Conservation of
Nature. The scientific side of it knew the population
problem, but didn't have money and an organizing
capability. "They came by to see me," Philip
explained, "and at the time, there was really a serious
rift" between the scientists, and the organizers and
funders. "Peter Scott, a naturalist who painted birds,
came by to see me and asked me to head it up. I
was already president of another international
organization, and I told them to go see Prince
Bernhard of the Netherlands." (Prince Bernhard was a
member of the Nazi Party who was forced to resign
from it in order to hold onto his title.)

Philip said, "I had only one argument with Peter
Scott. He said to me, “We must promote
conservation for the benefit of people. We must get
people interested.” “I said to him, I don't think you're
right. We must look after animals for their own sake,
not for our sake, so that people can have parks and
go to look at them. If that happens, people will put
their own interests first."

There is also some established precedent for
taking account of family planning performance
in appraisal of assistance requirements by AID
[U.S. Agency for International Development] and
consultative groups. Since population growth is a
major determinant of increases in food demand,
allocation of scarce PL 480 resources should take
account of what steps a country is taking in
population control as well as food production. In
these sensitive relations, however, it is important in
style as well as substance to avoid the
appearance of coercion.

“Basically, then, there are only two kinds of
solutions to the population problem. One is a
"birth rate solution," in which we find ways to
lower the birth rate. The other is a "death rate
solution," in which ways to raise the death rate
—war, famine, pestilence—find us.”

"How many [people] 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…

— Paul Erhlich

…The question is: can you go over the top
without a disaster, like a worldwide plague or a
nuclear war between India and Pakistan? If we
go on at the pace we are there's going to be
various forms of disaster. Some maybe slow
motion disasters like people getting more and
more hungry, or catastrophic disasters because
the more people you have the greater the
chance of some weird virus transferring from
animal to human populations, there could be a
vast die-off."

Mead is famous for
saying, “Instead of
needing lots of children,
we need high-quality
children.”

"There are only two possible ways in which a world of 10
billion people can be averted. Either the current birth
rates must come down more quickly. Or the current
death rates must go up.

"There is no other way.

"There are, of course, many ways in which the death
rates can go up. In a thermonuclear age, war can
accomplish it very quickly and decisively. Famine and
disease are nature's ancient checks on population
growth, and neither one has disappeared from the
scene...”

++ In a March 2009 press release, entitled
"Earth Heading for 5 Billion
Overpopulation?" the OPT estimated the
world's sustainable population at 5 billion—
but didn't stop at that. It projected that the
addition of more people would mean that
by 2050, "when the UN projects world
population will be 9.1 billion, there will be an
estimated 5 billion more people than the
Earth can support.”


++ So, now the aim is to eliminate 5 billion
people. You might consider that mass
murder, but the UN Population Fund does
not. It featured the OPT's director, Roger
Martin, as a presenter of its own "State of
World Population 2009" report in the run-up
to the Copenhagen Climate Change
Conference.


++ Working with the OPT and the WWF is the
Global Footprint Network, which, in
cooperation with the Zoological Society of
London, has taken up the job of setting up
a Living Planet index, which determines
how many people should live (and die) in
every country…


++ …According to a report the GFN released
on the occasion of the 2009 UN
Copenhagen Summit, three-quarters of all
nations on Earth are using up more
resources than they claim the "Earth's
biocapacity" can sustain. They demanded
immediate action by governments and
international agencies to reduce
population, starting with at least a third (2
billion).


++ But we have not yet come to the most
extreme aim, that of calling for a
reduction of human population to below 1
billion. The prize for that goes to John
Schellnhuber, head of the Potsdam
Institute for Climate Research, who was
made a Commander of the Most
Excellent Order (CBE) of the British Empire
in 2004, by Queen Elizabeth.


++ Schellnhuber—who is a longtime collaborator of
President Obama's Science and Technology
Advisor, John P. Holdren—told a March 13, 2009
pre-meeting of the Copenhagen Climate
Change Conference that his studies had
calculated "estimates for the carrying capacity of
the planet, namely below 1 billion people," if his
policy of eliminating all modern energy sources
(fossils fuels and nuclear) were not implemented.
In fact, the world population would be reduced
to that level—eliminating 6 billion people—
through the implementation of that insane policy.

“In particular, a person of reason
and skillfuly directed resolution
can reach, directly or indirectly,
fields inaccessible to any other
living being... Such a property of
Homo sapiens cannot be thought
of as accidental...

— Vladimir Vernadsky
The Biosphere, under the heading A Few Words About the Noosphere, 1926

…There is not a single corner of the Earth
where Man could not survive if
necessary... Mankind's power is
connected not with its matter, but with its
brain, its thoughts and its work guided by
its mind. In the geological history of the
biosphere, a great future is opened to
Man if he realizes it, and does not direct
his mind and work to self-destruction…


…Man is striving to go beyond the
limits of his planet—to space. And he
will probably succeed... The ideals of
our democracy correspond to a
spontaneous geological process, to
natural laws—to the noosphere. So we
can look at the future with
confidence. It is in our hands. We shall
not let it go.”


Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
born September 8, 1922

"We are creatures of the seas, striving
upward toward the stars. We are
creatures of the fourth and highest
domain, above the abiotic, the merely
living, and the merely individual. We are,
by anointed destiny, not beasts, but, as
Genesis 1:26-1:31 specifies, creatures in
the willful likeness of the Creator."

— Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

“The known demographic patterns of
trends of increase of the potential
relative population-density, reflect
the absolute distinction of the human
being from all lower forms of life. In
other words, the key to this point is
expressed by the great Academician
V.I. Vernadsky’s rigorously scientific
distinction of human populations (the
noösphere) from the biosphere…
The Economic Past Is Now Behind Us! MONEY OR CREDIT?, August 26, 2010

…That is to say, that the human
species-type is distinguished
uniquely from all lower forms of life
by our species’ potential for willful
creation of discovered universal
physical principles, by means of
which the potential relative
population-density of the human
species is willfully increased…

…All living processes do, admittedly, express
a drive for de facto innovation and
improvement of types of species from
relatively lower, to higher qualities; but, only
human beings are capable of producing
such anti-Aristotelean, “Promethean”
effects as a creative act of willful
knowledge of discovered principles, a kind
of progress which is expressed in the mass as
human voluntary progress through willful
discovery of higher principles of action.”
