British Authorities Call for Cutting Population by One Half
The liberal bureaucrats presiding over the self-destruction of formerly Great Britain are now calling for a population reduction of 30 million.
Jonathon Porritt, one of Gordon Brown's leading green advisers, is to warn that Britain must drastically reduce its population if it is to build a sustainable society.
Porritt's call will come at this week's annual conference of the Optimum Population Trust (OPT), of which he is patron.
The trust will release research suggesting UK population must be cut to 30m if the country wants to feed itself sustainably. …
Porritt is winning scientific backing. Professor Chris Rapley, director of the Science Museum, will use the OPT conference, to be held at the Royal Statistical Society, to warn that population growth could help derail attempts to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Healthy societies grow. Dying ones contract. If Britons heed the demands of their rulers and stop having children, their society will die all the faster, as the colonial Islamic society that is displacing it employs reproduction as a form of warfare.
Of course, progressive authorities may decide that their fictional climate crisis requires more immediate means of population reduction.

If they used this for an excuse to deport all the Muslims, it would be a good idea.

The radical Muslims won't be going anywhere. They will be running Britain in a decade without firing a shot.

Well, obviously, the taxes of the survivors will have to double to make up the difference. (Which will mean rates of 140% for most).
Some may argue that half the population means half the tax expenditure. Nay, not so. Not with leftist governments. Detroit's population is half of what it was in the 1950's, but the city's spending is orders of magnitude higher.

Your lives mean slow death to the more valued members of the colony. Therefore, I have no alternative but to sentence you to death. Your execution is so ordered, signed Kodos, Governor of Tarsus IV."

Doesn't sound to me like this is in the least bit different from the "plan" the Mexicans have to destroy the United States and take over the Southwest, aka "Aztlan" ... which includes exploding OUR population with "Anchor" babies.
This was highly supported by their previous boss, Vicente Fox, who encouraged this through the elementary school system and is in the heart of many, many of the illegals flooding our border to the south.

Van,
I am a very regular visitor to your website, and have been for a quite while. You make me "lol" nearly every day! Today, however, for the first time, you made me want to MOL, moan out loud. Using that terrible photo to make a point, however valid, is in very poor taste and more importantly, disrespectful to the victims of Germany's war on humanity. Please consider my comments carefully, as they come from a very politically incorrect conservative, who agrees with you on every point you make on your fantastic site (which I tell people about all the time!)

I don't mean the picture to be taken lightly. Evil people guided by evil ideologies do evil things. Genocide in the name of environmental extremism is a literal possibility.

The image makes a damn good point, and trying to cover it up is a liberal tactic that we here don't stand for. Let it stay, VH.
Posted by: Anonymous at March 22, 2009 5:07 PM
I did not suggest that VH should cover up his point, I agree with him wholeheartedly! Accusing me of being a lib is simply absurd. VH's response has validity, yours is silly! An ad hominem attack on my credibility does not speak to the point about whether or not it is appropriate to use graphic Holocaust imagery to make a point. I am pretty sure that if one or several of those emaciated, disgraced corpses belonged to your relatives (as they do mine), you would not be so cavalier about displaying them!

To many liberals, a spotted owl is more important than a human. A wolf is more importants than a human. To PETA a chicken is more important than a human.
The picture very clearly depicts what socialist liberals stand for; homocide in the name of their suicidal ideology.
Go VH go. Don't back down from the homocidal maniacs who consider themselves "tolerant and compassionate". They are nothing less than sick murderers - just as their heroes are/were. To a liberal, a human life is an embryo to be thrown in the trash for the name of the "common end" - bulldoze them into a pit and foget them.
Liberals are sick bastards.
Posted by: Anonymous at March 22, 2009 5:49 PM
Are you responding to me?
Yes, libs are quite sick and more importantly, dangerous as heck. BUT: the picture shows German depravity; it is NOT a representation of "what socialist liberals stand for; homocide in the name of their suicidal ideology."
The WW2 era Germans had no intention to commit suicide, they were in it for the "Thousand Year Reich."
And they were certainly NOT liberals. There do exist other sickos out there- fascists, neonazis, and of course, Muslim extremists...

Isaac - I apologize, partner - by rule I don't make 'anonymous' posts - I blame Bill Gates for this one. :-)
I respectfully disagree with your opinion.
American Socialist Liberals are everything I claim; and they would revel in seeing those with dissenting opinions bulldozed into a pit (along with the "worthless non-human fetuses”) in the name of their ‘new world order’. In fact, they've said so over and over. Socialist liberals care nothing for humanity. Socialist liberals want you and me dead because we disagree with them. Luckily they are shit-in-their-pants cowards or they would begin making it true today.
Read the posts on Daily KOS or TheForeignBitch (Huffington?) They want you DEAD, Isaac. To ignore that fact could be fatal for you.
Open your eyes and stay alive.
And… Just because you consider me paranoid doesn’t mean the bastards aren’t after me (and you).
Key word: Bullets.
Lots and lots of bullets before they are illegal to buy. The “kill us all” liberals may win – but they will take a hellacious beating.

The image should absolutely remain.
It's very important to constantly remind people the destination to which the leftist socialist path leads. The Nazi party of Germany, as in fact a leftist socialist party.
There are many disturbing parallels between the American liberal socialist, and the Nazi socialists.
But the biggest in my opinion would be the use of the pseudoscience of global climate change to push through their agendas, just as the Nazis used the pseudoscience of eugenics to push through theirs.
In terms of camps, did anyone read H.R. 1388, in which they changed the terminology from camps, to campus?
The National Civilian Security Force that Obama proposes, along with mandatory volunteerism, is clearly a leftist Nazi-esque policy.
Certainly the Fairness Doctrine, Net Neutrality, Localism, or whatever form or label they will force the same thing upon us under, is the 21st Century version of book burnings.
Images like the one VH has posted help to put things in proper context, by showing the ultimate goals of the leftist socialist. That is where their intolerant philosophy inevitably leads.
If images of the wounded and dead from 9/11 were widely posted and made available, It would have made the leftist media's prpaganda against the War on Terror a far more difficult task.
The picture should absolutely remain.
Posted by: J at March 22, 2009 7:58 PM
Issac -
These guys are the crazies on your side of the fence. They scream about an incipient American SS based on door-to-door canvassing. They accuse Obama of being a foreign agent. Their entire philosophy is based on the same absurd hyperbole as the British gentlemen mentioned in this post; simply in the opposite direction.

Keep the image and the caption. Unfortunately, common leftists/progressives don't understand that the things they support in the name of 'compassion' are actually contributing to the culture of death and result in an increase in the things they claim to despise most. Most lack the capacity to link their heart-felt policies to the negative consequences that come from progressive compassion and 'social justice'. Those who do understand and make the links from their policies to the inevitable, deadly consequences are evil and must be stopped.
A historical truism that bears repeating:
Where there is nature worship, there is human sacrifice.
As usual, progressives get the important issues that sustain life and culture out of their proper order, and the results are destructive.

I have read H.R. 1388. It is a program designed to indoctrinate (through mandatory inclusion) the "disadvantaged youth" of America.
The wording was changed, but the purpose is to create an environment that teaches liberal government to the future of this country.
It is not a "concentration camp", it is an indoctrination camp.
Big difference.

Isaac, going along with what Jimbo said about websites that reveal how truly psychotic the far left is, another must- visit in that regard is Democratic Underground. Those people are so completely filled with hatred that it would be scary if any of them were in a position of real power.
Posted by: Adam at March 23, 2009 4:25 AM
Remember the Nazis weren't backward society stuck in the dark ages (like Radical Islam). They were the most advanced society in the world at the time who had taken some of the days radical social theories to there logical conclusion. When the Germans elected Hitler, they just wanted someone to repair the economy. Its naive for people today to think such evil cannot come from an "advanced society"
Posted by: Andrew at March 23, 2009 5:09 AM
Adam or anyone else, if you want to "visit" the Democratic Underground without really visiting, go to ConservativeCave.com, and scroll down to the DUmpster area. They post the real gems and comment without getting banned. It's an eyeopener. Especially:
* When anyone not hard left gets sick or dies
* When they expect the world on a silver platter
* When they spew economic theory, even though none know the first thing about how a business or a bank runs.
* When they try and discuss the stock market, it's comedy gold. For example, there are some who think the Dow is a dude. "Why does he keep lowering the average??!!"

Isaac;
The photo is not to disrespect Nazi Holocaust victims, but to remind us that if it happens again (as desired by some "Deep Ecologists") IT MAY BE OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN.
We can't help the victims of the Nazi Holocaust, but maybe we can save the victims of future "Eco-Holocausts" in the name of "sustainability" and/or "reducing the carbon footprint". In its own way, the "Pro-Choice" culture facilitates this notion that "certain humans" are expendable.
The original article suggests that the most efficient way to reduce carbon dioxide, is to reduce those populations with the biggest "carbon footprint" - as in Americans and Brits. The most productive societies are the ones with the largest carbon footprints. The unstated purpose is to go after those societies that harbor the distasteful notion of "freedom", that stands in the way of central planning on a world-wide basis.
"Sustainability" sounds good, but if we become monsters along the way towards that goal, what is the point? So we try to "save humanity" by losing our humanity?
It doesn't sound like any sort of progress to me.
Posted by: on-the-rocks at March 23, 2009 6:35 AM
I may be mistaken, but you all may want to take a closer look at that 'offending' photo. I don't know the source, but it appears to me, the operator on the bulldozer is wearing a British military uniform (sargeants stripes on the arm, beret). If this is the case, the story seems all the more poiniant, if not, well it still makes the point.
Posted by: Eric at March 23, 2009 6:47 AM
Eric: If you are correct, it is likely one of the 'cleanup' crews assigned to dispose of the bodies left behind in a liberated Nazi concentration camp. In the last few months of the war, the Nazis put the pedal to the floor, so to speak, on their efforts to complete the eradication of Europe's Jews. In doing so, they often did not take the time to incinerate or bury the bodies, but would stack them like cordwood. By the time the camps were liberated, these bodies would have been stacked this way outside, exposed to the elements for weeks or months. The ones liberating the camps were not trained medical personnel, experienced in the handling of dead bodies, but run-of-the-mill infantry and mechanized units. The corpses needed to be disposed of, but no one wanted to get anywhere near them, the stench and fear of disease was so great. Hence the bulldozer.
Everyone else:
Ah, the "overpopulation" myth returns. Kind of reminds me of a theology professor I had, who used to say "Falsehoods never die, they just get repackaged."

Yes. There is a big difference.
Though I'm not sure that indoctrination camps are any less fascist than concentraion camps.
Furthermore, 20 years ago the thought of suggesting indoctrination camps in America would have seemed outrageous.
In another twenty years, will the suggestion of concentration camps in America also loose its outrageousness?
Posted by: J at March 23, 2009 6:26 PM
Additonally, for those leftists who embrace the notion of indocrinatin camps, would the idea of concntration camps be that far removed, or that far from the notion of them being normalized?
Especially coming from the side of the isle that set up a detention center for potential protesters?

Furthermore, where do they get off talking about overpopulation when they have insane immigration policies and don't give a rat's behind about how many children they give birth to?
