Making Sense out of Nonsense
First, the non-sense:
"There are too many people and not enough resources."
Second, making sense of it:
1) Remove indigenous peoples from ancestral lands, resources and lifestyles.
2) Put fences around them so that overcrowding occurs. Deny them access to anything outside the fenced area including food, water & shelter. Bring limited quantities of basic necessities to the fenced area. And then tell them:
a) This is a situation of overcrowding.
b) We do not have sufficient resources.
c) We must create some order (police state) to insure fair rationing.
d) And… a system (monetary) to reward those most deserving (competition for ‘limited resources’ with valuations decided by elite self-interests).
Before the invention of elite privilege (protected by militarism) and the 'tickets' (money) that helped control access to it and distribution of it, everyone had a right to participate as a fully sanctioned member of the Garden Estate. Now, even though we are disenfranchised, we still must develop our understanding so that we may be able to protect what remains of the Estate.
There are many proofs that can amply demonstrate that this is the most basic two-step principle of elitist domination as well as how those dominated come to ‘understand’ their chances for personal ‘success.

The 12 Myths of Hunger Why so much hunger? What can we do about it? To answer these questions we must unlearn much of what we have been taught.
Myth 1Not Enough Food to Go AroundReality: Abundance, not scarcity, best describes the world's food supply. Enough wheat, rice and other grains are produced to provide every human being with 3,500 calories a day. That doesn't even count many other commonly eaten foods - vegetables, beans, nuts, root crops, fruits, grass-fed meats, and fish. Enough food is available to provide at least 4.3 pounds of food per person a day worldwide: two and half pounds of grain, beans and nuts, about a pound of fruits and vegetables, and... enough to make most people fat! The problem is that many people are too poor to buy readily available food. Even most "hungry countries" have enough food for all their people right now. Many are net exporters of food and other agricultural products. |

| And remember, The original and most destructive MYTH of all is: Humans Are Omnivores. The Fact is: Humans Are Herbivores ...with a nature determined place in a naturally abundant ecology. So, how does the empire best obscure these ecological facts? By the systematic destruction of natural habitats such as the burning of the rainforests. Until they are ALL gone, someone might figure it out, that nature really did abundantly provide for humans just as it provided for every other functioning member of the ecology. |
