Pyschosis, you say? I got your psychosis right here, baby…..
Mussolini said “Everything inside the State. Nothing outside the state.”
We all know what the left really is: The State in place of God. Coersion in place of Liberty. Malthusian hysteria and central planning in place of free markets.
But, times have changed, you say? The left is more pragmatic, more free market now…
Really? You sure about that?
Here is the new left. Same as the old left. I give you Obama’s Science Czar….
Bow, serfs:
Remember Apocalypse now? Kurtz’ last words: “the horror. the horror…”
Behold the horror of the left in all it’s humanist depravity…..
Hat tips: WC Varones at Polipundit from yesterday, and HotAir today….. and of course thanks to Zombie for the original work….
Hey, he’s “restoring science to her rightful place”, right?
Paranoid, anyone?
Michelle’s got it too, so I guess it’s gone “viral”…..

Hope and Change, indeed…..

We know the gutter and we know the stink of the street
For not much longer will we press through your festering heat
All you tyrants who tower above us
You who give us the smack of your rod
Soon now we will give you the gutter
We will give you the judgment of God!
The world may be ugly, but each man must do what he must
Give in overreaching tyrants, in a year you will be dust
Soon now our Lady of Justice will possess you
In her breathtaking, hair-raising bed
She will tingle your spines as she captures your hearts and your heads!

Over at zombie’s comment page, poster “Rob” puts it better than I could…
Hear, hear… Overpopulation is a local phenomenon, and Global Overpop is a MYTH..

Drive through OK, dude
EMPTY SPACE…

RWY,
Yep. From what I have read we cap out at about 8bn then slowly decline back into the 5-6bn mark by end of the century. There are whole countries where its a population bust that is the problem. Russia for example is most acute. They will lose a third of their population by 2030.

OT, from Financial Times —
This is great talk coming from a guy who cut his teeth in manipulating the financial markets. And if he is so tech oriented then why is the whole $787Bn slanted towards moving dirt rather than bits? Major disconnect.
Sigh….
[7]
The only people who listened to the overpopulation bs were guilty whites who went from having big families to having only 2 kids. I guess it was easier to split the kids between mom and dad after the feminists took control.
Everybody else just kept on having babies as if making them was fun or something.
[8]
The ONLY logical conclusion, if some buys into the faulty reasoning, unproven hypotheses, and errant facts of the global warming movement, is we as a planet NEED LESS PEOPLE.
Abortion and euthanasia reduces our carbon footprint, regulating health care for elderly so they will die off quicker (BONUS ROUND!!!! LESS SOCIAL SECURITY PAYOUTS) will do so as well.
Now they have the Science “Czar” to make it happen!
AWESOME!!!
After all, we americans are the worst in the world, less of us is best for the planet…
God help us…..
[9]
does anyone know why russia’s pop. is collapsing? Don’t they like sex and babies anymore? I don;t think they have that BS white guilt there. and it can’t be poverty or space, that never stopped anyone before…
what really is going on?
low sperm counts?

Here comes a “lost decade” for America. If we are lucky. If Obama gets his way, it could be a “lost generation”, or two…
[11]
Yeah, Gerry, you have it right.
[12]
Drugs, Alcohol, crime, graft….loss of religious values….. Russia, I am afraid will go back to totalitarianism.
Will we get there first? I think so….
Like Germany before it, Russia has had the chance to do so much good in the world, but instead has chosen the path of darkness.
And now America finally descends to walk the same dreary road.
[13]
I read a couple years ago, that Russia’s biggest pop. probs result from high abortion/low marriage rates, and low life expectancy among males….
[14]
I thought that article in Pravda recently was spot-on, and a solid 5 solar-masses of IRONY….

rwy, when I read that utter insanity from our new “Science Czar” I literally almost threw up!
Force women to have more children when we need more people?? Sterilize women and men when we have too many people??
But BOTH based on the assessment of the STATE as to how many (and what type!) people we need!!
This guy should be LOCKED UP…and is instead given massive authority in Obama’s Regime.
Obama’s new “Science Czar” sounds like he stepped right out of the 3rd Reich…and into the FOURTH!
Pray…and stock up!
[16]
Of course the Rs have no stomach for making an ad out of the science czara positions. On the other hand our younger generation of robots might agree with him.
[17]
rwy– yes but why? Why all the abortions/low birth rates? what is going on there?
[18]
Seriously,
You want Psychosis??? What is more f-d in the head- Cliamimg the Stimulus “IS WORKING”, as our delusional president is now saying,
or NOT CALLING HIM ON IT, as our MSM isn’t doing?
Who is more certifiable? I say press.

aureliusx,
The low birth rate can be attributed back to Reagan believe it or not. Reagan forced the soviets to consider either guns or butter. They went for the guns. So soviet social services went to crap. That shifted the burden of post natal child rearing back to families. But the russian people were already being stretched too thin so children became a serious burden.
By the time the soviets figured they might be able to pull the guns through Reagan did his brilliant pebbles schtick. That pretty much put the soviets to the point they had to reconsider. By the time they put the breaks on the guns it was too late. Yeltsin came along. Then a year later they had the banking collapse. All those stresses, made child rearing an irrational decision for most.
So you have a declining birth rate for almost 3 decades. Couple that with a health sciences that remained flat on systemic improvements and you get these results. The real key is that a society must have a 2.1 birth rate to remain constant. Anything below that and you are in a unrecoverable downward spiral. The russians have been at 1.9-1.3 for 30 years.
Putin instituted inducements 3 years ago. Mothers receive payments from the state beyond the first child. A paid leave of absence is also provided. Probably won’t be enough.
[20]
thanks for the perspective Drdog.
still shocking though. In my view the most primal instinct followed by most of the third world is to have children as the basic axiom, and then try (or fail) solve things from there.
Maybe the tension is that there is enough societal memory of what it means to care for a child properly in Russia. In contrast to 3rd world.
