HUMAN POPULATION REDUCTION: WHY 500 MILLION?

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

georgia-guidestoneIf you have read the book Alien Interview you will know that the “prison planet” population of Earth has not been controlled by the “Old Empire” since  the year 1,250 AD.   According to the “Georgia Guidestones”, which were allegedly constructed by the “New World Order” or “Illuminati”, the stated intention is to “maintain humanity under 500,000,000”.    Why 500 million?

The following are  excerpts from the book ALIEN INTERVIEW.  Note the date at which human population reached 500 million.

“A renaissance of invention on Earth began in * 1,250 AD with the destruction of the “Old Empire” space fleet in the solar system. During the next 500 years, Earth may have the potential to regain autonomy and independence, but only to the degree that humankind can apply the concentrated genius of the IS-BEs on Earth to solve the amnesia problem. (SEE CHARTS BELOW)

However, on a cautionary note, the inventive potential of the IS-BEs who have been exiled to this planet is severely compromised by the criminal elements of the Earth population. Specifically, politicians, war-mongers and irresponsible physicists who create unlimited weapons such as nuclear bombs, chemicals, diseases and social chaos. These have the potential to extinguish all life forms on Earth, forever.”

“The Domain has observed that since the “Old Empire” space forces were destroyed there is no one left to actively prevent other planetary systems from bringing their own “untouchable” IS-BEs to Earth from all over this galaxy, and from other galaxies nearby. Therefore, Earth has become a universal dumping ground for this entire region of space.”

FOOTNOTE: The Georgia Guidestones refers to population reduction happening on “THE DAY OF THE LORD’S WRATH”  i.e.  “In the biblical canon, the earliest, direct use of the phrase is in Isaiah 2: “For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low” (Isaiah 2:12). Another early use of the phrase is in Amos 5:18-20.   …the phrase was already a standard one, and Amos’ hearers would take it to mean “the day when Yahweh would intervene to put Israel at the head of the nations, irrespective of Israel’s faithfulness to Him. ” — (Wikipedia.org)

You will also note that (according the the Alien Interview transcripts) “Yahweh” was the “agent” of the “Old Empire” who intercepted Moses in the desert after the escape of the Jewish slaves from Egypt  and gave them the “10 Hypnotic Commands”.

* The “official” human population estimates (BELOW) do NOT include the population of the AMERICAN CONTINENTS.  Reliable estimates say that there were 100 MILLION people living on the North and South American Continents when Columbus “discovered” them.  Therefore, the GLOBAL population in 1250 AD would have been approximately 500 million.

LET IT BEFatalism: noun —  resignation, stoicism, acceptance of the inevitable;

Stoicism: noun — the endurance of pain or hardship without a display of feelings and without complaint.   synonyms: patience, forbearance, resignation, fortitude, endurance, acceptance, tolerance

Predeterminism: noun — the idea that all events are determined in advance.[Predeterminism is the philosophy that all events of history, past, present and future, have been already decided or are already known (by God, fate, or some other force), including human actions.

Predestination; noun — a doctrine or theory common to many of the prevalent religions such as Christianity, Islam Buddhism and Hinduism. Some of the features of it apparently seem identical with each other in every religion but the spirit of this concept generally varies in all to cause the bewilderment in the human community as to which of these explanations is based on truth.

WHEN WE KILL BEES WE KILL OURSELVES

BEESIt’s springtime, and farmers throughout the Midwest and South are preparing to plant corn—and lots of it. The USDA projects this year’s corn crop will cover 94 million acres, the most in 68 years. (By comparison, the state of California occupies a land mass of about 101 million acres.) Nearly all of that immense stand of corn will be planted with seeds treated with neonicotinoid pesticides produced by the German chemical giant Bayer.

And that may be very bad news for honey bees, which remain in a dire state of health, riddled by large annual die-offs that have become known as “colony collapse disorder” (CCD).

In the past months, three separate studies—two of them just out in the prestigious journal Science—have added to a substantial body of literature linking widespread use of neonicotinoids to CCD. The latest research will renew pressure on the EPA to reconsider its registration of Bayer’s products. The EPA green-lighted Bayer’s products based largely on a study funded by the chemical giant itself—which was later discredited by the EPA’s own scientists, as this leaked memo shows.

When seeds are treated with neonics, the pesticides get absorbed by the plant’s vascular system and then “expressed” in the pollen and nectar, where they attack the nervous systems of insects. Bayer targeted its treatments at the most prolific US crop—corn—and since the late 1990s, corn farmers have been blanketing millions of acres of farmland with neonic-treated seeds.

And it’s not just corn. In addition to the vast corn crop mentioned above, Bayer’s neonics have worked their way into substantial portions of the soy, wheat, cotton, sorghum, and peanut seed markets. In 2010, according to research by the Pesticide Action Network of North America, at least 142 million total acres were planted in neonic-treated seeds—a trend that will continue if not increase in  the 2012 growing season. That represents a landmass equal to the footprints of California and Washington State.

But even that’s not all. As I showed in this January post, Bayer’s neonics are also common in home-garden and landscaping products.

The ubiquitous pesticides appear to affect bees in two ways: in big lethal doses that occur at the time of seed planting, when neonic-infused dust wafts around in growing areas; and in tiny doses that happen when bees bring neonic-infused pollen into hives, which don’t kill them immediately but appears to damage their immune systems and homing abilities.

Here’s a quick snapshot of the new research.

• In a paper forthcoming in the peer-reviewed and highly respected journal Science—released Thursday on (subscription-required) ScienceExpress—researchers found that exposure to small, sublethal doses of a neonic called thiamethoxam significantly affects bees’ ability to find their way back to their hives—”at levels that could put a colony at risk of collapse.” The research team also found that previous impact studies “are likely to severely underestimate sublethal pesticide effects when they are conducted on honey bee colonies placed in the immediate proximity of treated crops.”

• The other forthcoming Science paper—also behind a paywall on ScienceExpress—looked at neonics’ effect on wild bumblebees, which are another critical pollinator that have gone into severe decline in recent years. In this study, researchers subjected bumblebee colonies to “field-realistic levels of the neonicotinoid imidacloprid” and then “allowed them to develop naturally under field conditions.” The result: “Treated colonies had a significantly reduced growth rate and suffered an 85% reduction in production of new queens.” Their conclusion: “Given the scale of use of neonicotinoids, we suggest that they may be having a considerable negative impact on wild bumble bee populations across the developed world.”

• The third recent study, published in the American Chemical Society’s Environmental Science & Technology journal, looked at what happens to bees when farmers plant treated seeds, when foraging bees are exposed to neonic-containing dust. The authors found “lethal effects compatible with colony losses phenomena observed by beekeepers.”

The latest burst of research follows on the heels of a study released in January by Purdue researchers (I summarized their results here). They determined that bees are exposed to “extremely high” levels of Bayer’s clothianidin in the fumes that rise up when farmers plant corn seed in the spring. They found the pesticide in dead bees “collected near hive entrances during the spring sampling period,” as well as in “pollen collected by bees and stored in the hive.”

These studies, combined with what we know of the the tortured, Bayer-influenced nature of neonics’ march through the regulatory process, paint a damning picture. As Pesticide Action Network’s Heather Pilatic put it on Huffington Post, “Wild pollinators and honeybees alike have been facing an increasingly toxic landscape since the introduction and rapid uptake of neonicotinoids in the late 1990s…these pesticides are prevalent, persistent, and more scientists confirm everyday that they are making bees sick (or dead) through a number of different mechanisms and routes of exposure.”

This accumulation of disturbing science raises a vital question: Does the Obama EPA have the backbone to take on the agrochemical industry during an election year and ban Bayer’s lucrative chemicals? The long-term status of the United States as a healthy habitat for bees, wild and cultivated alike, may hinge on the answer.
