In "Matters of Conscience", January 2010, www.centerforpublicconscience.org , by Bromwell Ault, "Ours is a world of extreme and imminent danger. It crackles with messages of political, economic and religious conflict and, when tensions build and words fail, as they often do, violence is visited by one group upon another. If that were not enough, our planet shudders from spasms with changes in technology, population, wealth distribution and our natural environment."

You may notice newspapers, environmental magazines like Sierra Club and National Public Radio addressing growing "symptoms' brought about by overpopulation. But, you will never hear them connect the dots as to hyper-population growth. In fact, they avoid any mention of their "sacred cow' of a world filled with too many people. Obviously, religious, political, and racial ramifications enter into the passions of this issue.

In the 16th century, men like Galileo found themselves under house arrest via the Catholic Church because they "bucked' the conventional wisdom with their research. They called him a "heretic." Ultimately, the Pope lost, because Galileo proved that the earth revolved around the sun. Today, if anyone speaks up against mass immigration into the United Kingdom, France, Holland, Canada, or the United States--the term "racist" echoes from every quarter.

Ironically, those immigrants flee overpopulated countries where average annual death rates from starvation and related diseases exceed 18 million people. (Source: World Health Organization) Worse, third world countries add a 77 million person net gain annually to our finite planet. Thus, they form an endless line of desperate refugees. In the end, Mother Nature doesn't care about anyone's race, creed or color--she's an equal opportunity grim reaper for anyone that exceeds carrying capacity.

WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND WHAT CAN BE DONE?

The late oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau said, "We must alert and organize the world's people to pressure world leaders to take specific steps to solve the two root causes of our environmental crises--exploding population growth and wasteful consumption of irreplaceable resources. Overconsumption and overpopulation underlie every environmental problem we face today."

If any of us, no matter what our race, creed or color might be, refuse to engage our U.S. Congress as we have not for 30 years as to the immigration equation--our children will find themselves living in a terribly degraded America where the American Dream will be described by the history books as a "fleeting fantasy' from the era of 1950 to 2010. These are several of the top organizations where you can take collective action to change the course of American history. Take collective action at www.numbersusa.com ; www.fairus.org ; www.capsweb.org ; www.thesocialcontract.com ; www.populationmedia.com ; www.worldpopulationbalance.org ; www.populationconnection.org ; www.quinacrine.com ; http://www.familyplanning.org/ , www.skil.org ; www.growthbusters.com and dozens of other sites accessed at www.frostywooldridge.com.

Must see DVD: "Blind Spot" http://www.snagfilms.com/films/title/blind_spot/ , This movie illustrates America's future without oil, water and other resources to keep this civilization functioning. It's a brilliant educational movie! www.blindspotdoc.com
