+ | |||
+ | Earth needs to recover; natural resources need also time to renew themselves. We do not allow both. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Allow me please to share some personal experience and thoughts. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I do believe that the number of Human Beings currently on Earth indicates a state of | ||
+ | overpopulation, specially in the specific context of the current mode of production - or | ||
+ | should i rather say, 'exploitation' of this Planet and its resources - that is, | ||
+ | this wild, aggressive Capitalism driven by greed alone. | ||
+ | Were the goods, other life sustaining commodities, the product we ourselves produce or gain directly | ||
+ | from Earth, responsibly and honestly managed; if our aims in this existence were | ||
+ | spiritually more elevated(instead of the sole accumulation of money and other | ||
+ | material items), there would certainly be no question of overpopulation the way it is now; | ||
+ | for Mother-Earth is able to and is willing to take care of her Children - and does still do so. | ||
+ | But in the current structure, our number puts lots of stress of Earth and its resources, | ||
+ | for everyone wants still more and more and, as we all know, there are no limits to the 'accumulation fever' | ||
+ | and greed has by definition no boundaries. | ||
+ | Besides, Humans are not the only inhabitants of this Planet. | ||
+ | There are other Life Forms having the same rights to be and to develop; Life Forms which are as | ||
+ | necessary and dear to Earth as we, Humans, are: Flora, Fauna. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We are building factories and other human production facilities on lands, which should normally | ||
+ | be reserved to agriculture, to the flora and fauna; we are destroying forests, polluting water and air... | ||
+ | Flora and Fauna are being incessantly persecuted by us. | ||
+ | I read recently in a scientific paper(i do alas not recall the name) and i saw more recently | ||
+ | on 'Discovery Channel-Science', that honey bees are disappearing in horrifying huge numbers | ||
+ | and sorts(and we all know the great role they play for the balance of our eco-system); | ||
+ | the ice is dramatically melting(due in part to human irresponsible activities, like the tests of atomic | ||
+ | and nuclear bombs underground and in the atmosphere!!!)... | ||
+ | A couple of months ago, two ice-bears swam the whole way to the west coast(fjords) of Iceland, | ||
+ | hungry and in despair, for there is no more ice they could live on. | ||
+ | People used guns to kill! | ||
+ | |||
+ | We bear a lot of guilt here. | ||
+ | Let's try to repair some of it; let's make amend for some of it. Before it is indeed too late. | ||

Phenix 06:44, 20 December 2008 (UTC) Great work, Kamerad James! And so timely! - praise and honor to Creation, indeed; the Peace Meditation shall be particularly neutral-positively charged this evening.
Looking forward to the insights of the forum and to the eventual definitive draft. My traditional Christmas and New Year Postcards and E-cards stand ready. I shall keep the text i submitted to you, that is:
"Dear..
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I hope...
Gentleman/Lady/Comrade,
Everything needs management, including ourselves and our number. Nothing is endless and requires rational use, including earth's resources. The shortages of clean water, food, minerals and other basic life' s items, pollution and the destruction of the environment are nowadays more obvious that never before. We, Humans, put too much stress on Earth. Our number is way too great.
Be aware of overpopulation and of the threat of overpopulation to our own well-being and the harmony of this planet. And ultimately to our survival as a species.
Take action, make a difference, help us!
Add your voice to our overpopulation awareness campaign and support our world wide birth control initiative.
Please, go to:
http://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/Billy_Meier/Special:Petition
and sign our petition.
This petition will be sent to the world population awareness organization, other majors international organizations and to all responsible people of our world, who make decisions directly influencing our daily life. Let's shape a responsible future now. We owe that to our children and the children of our children. We owe it to Mother-Earth.
Thank you."
Kamerad James, other Kameraden,
Your corrections(also regarding the language) and suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Salome,
Phenix/Adam.
Jamesm 01:51, 21 December 2008 (UTC) I've made a major modification. I have inserted the main portion of http://us.figu.org/portal/SocialIssues/ACrusadeAgainstOverpopulation/tabid/102/Default.aspx above the Population Growth Charts, corrected the spelling so that it conforms to UK English and removed the previous section on Required Worldwide Measures (which was actually copied from http://us.figu.org/portal/SocialIssues/BirthRateCheck/tabid/104/Default.aspx ).
Jamesm 03:23, 21 December 2008 (UTC) I'm more satisfied with the petition now but I still need to read the entire thing! The length of it will put some people off but I think it is needed in order to present a full picture of the overpopulation problem.
Phenix 08:22, 21 December 2008 (UTC) Greetings, James, I hope you are doing just fine; thanks for your work.
The insertion - straight away, at the beginning of the petition - of the consequences of overpopulation, which people might feel and even experience in their daily life, and the strong underlining of the direct connection of the two, is a bright idea.
While working further on the 'backgroungs information' leading ultimately to the definitive version of the petition, i would suggest to leave the first draft of the petition open to discussion until December 24th, morning; and from there, to use that draft - with eventual corrections, additions, suggestions of the forum - as a provisory, 'work draft'.
This would be in order to make optimal use of the opportunities of Christmas and New Year to start the awareness campaign, through the traditional 'good wishes postcards, E-cards and letters'.
Looking forward to your assessment.
Salome, Adam.
Jamesm 12:31, 21 December 2008 (UTC) Yes good idea Phenix, let's leave it as it is now until the 24th to give people a chance to read it.
Phenix 13:26, 21 December 2008 (UTC) Thanks again, James.
Well, "alea iacta est!", i would say.
Salome, Phenix/Adam
Hawaiian 07:06, 23 December 2008 (UTC) Very disturbing numbers, seems like World Wars 1 and 2 had little effect in slowing down these numbers. Would be interesting to see which countries have the most impact on world population as it appears more developed nations tend to level off while poorer ones explode. If true, then maybe mandatory sterilizations should be geared toward those countries along with sterilizations of rapists, killers, pediphiles, drug addicts and other non-disciplined types of the more developed nations. Just wonder if some ET's can help us out by some technology to "zap" ones gonads, starting with the undesirables??? :)
The majority of Earth humans are just plain ignorant and currently not capable of adhering to these measures however logical it appears. They will continue to multiply like rabbits, so with a little "help" from our friends would certainly appear rational.
Phenix 08:21, 23 December 2008 (UTC) Good morning Hawaiian,
Thanks for your insight.
The global situation is indeed rather alarming, specially if one agrees that all is strongly connected:
Shortage of almost all first resources (drinking water, food, oil… other vital items) and the therefrom resulting poverty; inequality; hunger; spiritual stagnation; despair... and subsequently crime; massive immigration; economic migration and ecological refugees; 'hatred towards foreigners'; terrorism; wars... not to mention the destruction of the environment.
Earth needs to recover; the natural resources need also time to renew themselves. We are not allowing both. Alas.
Overpopulation is hence likely to become one of the most important and - perhaps - the most decisive questions and challenges in the coming times for the whole humanity, politicians and other decision makers in the first place.
So i thought that it would be wise and wishful to see this issue humanly and responsibly managed by 'progressive forces', in place of some 'right-wing' and similar parties and groups.
As for a possible solution, to answer to the second part of your contribution, the startingpoint and philosophy here are to equally address all countries and nations, that is that a worldwide rational birth control should be decided and equally implemented and enforced.
Help from our extraterrestrial friends. Considering the gravity, the urgency and indeed the complexity of the situation - as you rightly pointed it out - such a step would certainly be welcome.
I however do not think that they should "help us out by some technology to "zap" ones gonads, starting with the undesirables??? :-)" [:-)]
A spiritual and maybe logistical support shall be enough; we ourselves shall do the rest, responsibly and humanly.
There is actually a petition open, where the assistance of the Plejarens is asked, on the grounds of the earthly rules and laws of humanitarian intervention: http://forum.figu.org/us/messages/12/9474.html?1229127606 ; my post 165(member Phenix).
Your support would be highly appreciated.
Salome,
Phenix/Adam.

Kameraden,
I would suggest also to begin sending the first draft of the petition - the first, pretty short one - and to keep working ont the current petition(with background information), to which we would redirect interested people for eventual 'further readings'.
Here is also a site, where one has the possibility to send Christmas and New Year postcards in more than 8 languages.
We just need to add a short call to join our campaign:

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
May the upcoming days of celebration bring you love, health, inspiration, hope, success and joy!
I wish the year 2009 will see the realization of all your dearest dreams.
Friends, Comrades,
I do have a concern.
We all know that all is connected. Everything needs management; ourselves and our number are not and can not be an exception. Nothing is endless and all requires rational use, care and maintenance, including earth's resources. The shortages of clean water, food, minerals and other basic life's items, pollution and the destruction of the environment are nowadays more obvious that never before. We, Humans, and the ways we go about life, put too much stress on Earth.
Earth needs to recover; natural resources need also time to renew themselves. We do not allow both.
Allow me please to share some personal experience and thoughts.
I do believe that the number of Human Beings currently on Earth indicates a state of overpopulation, specially in the specific context of the current mode of production - or should i rather say, 'exploitation' of this Planet and its resources - that is, this wild, aggressive Capitalism driven by greed alone. Were the goods, other life sustaining commodities, the product we ourselves produce or gain directly from Earth, responsibly and honestly managed; if our aims in this existence were spiritually more elevated(instead of the sole accumulation of money and other material items), there would certainly be no question of overpopulation the way it is now; for Mother-Earth is able to and is willing to take care of her Children - and does still do so. But in the current structure, our number puts lots of stress of Earth and its resources, for everyone wants still more and more and, as we all know, there are no limits to the 'accumulation fever' and greed has by definition no boundaries. Besides, Humans are not the only inhabitants of this Planet. There are other Life Forms having the same rights to be and to develop; Life Forms which are as necessary and dear to Earth as we, Humans, are: Flora, Fauna.
We are building factories and other human production facilities on lands, which should normally be reserved to agriculture, to the flora and fauna; we are destroying forests, polluting water and air... Flora and Fauna are being incessantly persecuted by us. I read recently in a scientific paper(i do alas not recall the name) and i saw more recently on 'Discovery Channel-Science', that honey bees are disappearing in horrifying huge numbers and sorts(and we all know the great role they play for the balance of our eco-system); the ice is dramatically melting(due in part to human irresponsible activities, like the tests of atomic and nuclear bombs underground and in the atmosphere!!!)... A couple of months ago, two ice-bears swam the whole way to the west coast(fjords) of Iceland, hungry and in despair, for there is no more ice they could live on. People used guns to kill!
We bear a lot of guilt here. Let's try to repair some of it; let's make amend for some of it. Before it is indeed too late.
Please be aware of overpopulation and of the threat of overpopulation to our own well-being and to the harmony of this planet. And ultimately to our survival as a species.
