Hate Speech!
Ok this is the last time I am going to belabor this point because I could go on and on about how the homosexual counter culture uses hate speech. I can site numerous instances how their hate abounds. This video is a prime example of how the left works.
First off this question should have never made it into the pool. It was set up as a lose lose situation. If she were to answer the way Perez wanted he furthers his agenda by legitimizing homosexuality, if she answers the way she did he gives her a zero and she looses the pageant simply for disagreeing with him. So Mr. Hilton makes a video blog and calls Miss California a "BITCH". She did nothing to him except disagree with his opinion and he responds with rage and hate. He ruins her chance to become Miss USA something she has worked hard for and for a really long time. Tolerance, I think not!
I have had enough of the homosexual counter culture belittling a person because they live their lives by a set of values based on Christian belief. They say we are wrong because we are not tolerant. But they are the intolerant ones. I am sorry but that dog won't hunt anymore.
Perez stated on MSNBC that she alienated "millions" of homosexuals when she made her comment. Another lie they want you to believe. Homosexuality is not as widespread as they want you to accept. They want you to believe that it is the mainstream when in fact it is rare. But they make a lot of noise so that it appears that they are numerous.
If they want to live that type of existence so be it. DON'T expect us to legitimize it, And DON'T expect us to condone it.
Keep checking in I will be elaborating on racism very soon!

It's Time To Act!
There is a movement to have students in our publicly funded education systems disrupt classes in support of the homosexual community. Students are being encouraged to be silent in their school to show their support. Not only is this disruptive to the education process, it is counterpoint to our values. We can't stand by and allow this to happen!
Here is the call to action: This must happen NOW. This disruption is scheduled for tomorrow. Call your local school district and let them know that this disruption is in the works and if it is allowed to happen you will keep your children out of school tomorrow. If you have to keep them from school use that time to educate them about this matter and instill in them the knowledge to stand up for what is right. Make them give you an answer don't let them put you off.
Here are a few phone numbers for our area:
Twin Falls: 208-733-6900
Jerome: 208-324-2392
Cassia: 208-678-6600
Minidoka: 208-436-4727
Ask for the Superintendent, If the Super in not available then ask for the next person in line. Demand an answer remember this disruption is supposed to happen tomorrow.
God be with you.

Sin And Sinners
Any time there is someone that disagrees with the left they are so quick to label them as Bigots ,Racist, or one of the many other derogatory terms they use. One must ask why? Sure it is a strategy to attempt to frighten those who disagree away from speaking out against them. But as has been mentioned in other blogs, who likes a mirror put in front of their face when you're doing wrong? No one. So when the moral majority speaks up against Homosexuality an immense burden of guilt sets in on those who practice that lifestyle. It must be said that Christians don't hate the sinner we hate the sin.
We must not be afraid to stand up for morality. We must rise up together as a community and let it be known that we will not tolerate that type of behavior. That does not mean that we dislike the person . Parents know exactly what I am saying. We love our children, we want only for them to be successful. Yes they make choices that we don't agree with, but we still love them the same.
Jesus did not choose to mingle only with the righteous, he taught the sinners. He loved everyone, the sinner and the saint but detested the sin.
We must stand tall and fight to keep our country from becoming a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah. We must not be afraid to speak up for what we believe. We must endure to the end and teach our posterity to do the same for one day it will be their turn to fight the good fight. To separate the sin from the sinner and bring them back to the fold.
God be with You.

This Blog.
This blog is intended to counter the umpteen blogs out there that berate Zeb Bell and spew their own HATE SPEECH. Yes, hate speech. Those bloggers who preach so vehemently against hate speech are guilty of that very thing. Don't take my word for it read them for yourself you will see!
It is not right for only one side of a story to be told in any media be it T.V., Radio, Newspaper, or the blogosphere. For those who wish to know both sides of the story we commend you. We invite you to come and know the WHOLE story not some slanted, biased propaganda that others want you to accept as the truth. Contrary to what they would like you to believe their way is not the only way!
Zeb has never said that blogs were bad, just those who wish to chastise him without being accountable for the venom they spew on a daily basis. Zeb has always taken every call on his show, even if the caller did not agree with him. He gives out his personal phone number on air so that if there is someone that would like to discuss a matter off air all they have to do is call. Zeb stands for a set of values based on his Christian faith that are true and right, he is not the vile monster the other blogs would have you believe. Zeb stands for freedom as our founding fathers intended .
If you want to know what Zeb's values are read The Constitution, read The Bill of Rights, read this blog, and above all read The Bible. We are "one nation under GOD".
Now to address the name of this blog Zeb's Rebs. Here is the definition of a rebel; "One who rebels or is in rebellion". In no way does that denote ANY racist belief. Zeb and his "REBS" rebel against those who wish to insert values that will weaken our communities, state, and country. Values that we will not allow our children to be taught. Yes we rebel against those things and will continue to do so until those people either give up the fight, or we die!
God Bless

INCREDIBLE CORRUPTION SURROUNDING IMMIGRATION IN COLORADO: ROMER, RITTER AND HICKENLOOPER
By Frosty Wooldridge
Colorado suffers deep, entrenched, ongoing and horrific illegal criminal alien presence. Estimates run from 500,000 to 700,000 illegal aliens working and residing in Colorado. They disrupt and bankrupt Colorado’s schools, hospitals and prisons. They kill Colorado citizens via drunken driving and shootings (www.cohd23.com), they form 12,000 member drug gangs in Denver, displace legal citizens from jobs and a plethora of anti-social behavior.
How do they get away with their actions? How does the corruption continue? How do criminal alien employers violate the law? How do so many thousands of criminal aliens continue working and living in Colorado?
Answer: Governor Ritter refuses to enforce the immigration laws passed by the Colorado legislators in 2006. Mayor John Hickenlooper continues his “Sanctuary Policy” that grants immunity to criminal aliens. Additionally, he won’t enforce Initiative 100, passed by Colorado voters, that impounds cars of criminal aliens caught in traffic arrests. Colorado Senator Chris Romer, instead of standing up for our laws, tries to pass laws to help illegal aliens with in-state tuition, which would encourage more illegal criminal aliens into this state.
Since they refuse to serve Colorado taxpayers and legal citizens, we suffer horrific deficits of $1.2 billion annually to pay for illegals. Our citizens cannot find jobs to put food on the table. Our citizens’ children must suffer faltering classrooms filled with 85 languages that make education impossible. Our citizens’ must pay for medical services, anchor babies and ‘free’ breakfasts and lunches at our schools because Hickenlooper, Ritter and Romer refuse to uphold our U.S. and Colorado Constitutions. Our prisons burst with 7,000 criminal aliens that caused terrible crimes to our citizens.
These men squeeze the blood from the fingernails of Colorado taxpayers! But you won’t see any of these men or the collective elected representatives of Colorado stand up for the rule of law.
In fact, they hide the incredible corruption manifesting across Colorado. Employers that hire illegals escape any lawful enforcement. Denver hotels and restaurants hire illegals at slave wages. Meat packers in Greeley break our laws with impunity. Vail, Aspen and other ski resorts hire illegals and house them in trailer prisons with 20 to a trailer. Call it 21st century slavery, but that’s what’s happening! Ranchers and farmers hire them illegally at slave wages. Construction, painting, roofing and landscape firms hire illegals over Colorado citizens.
These three men possess the power to serve Colorado and our citizens, but in fact, serve illegality, criminal aliens, illegal alien employers and all this corruption that costs all of us accelerating consequences.
When it comes to Ritter, Romer and Hickenlooper: The Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard said, “Twaddle, rubbish and gossip is what people want, not action. Politicians know this. Aided by the media and cheered by intellectuals, they peddle illusion, fantasy, myth, faith and hope.”
We must call our politicians to a higher level of service. A service that serves the rule of law! A service that made this country the envy of the world! We must call Ritter, Romer and Hickenlooper to stand for the U.S. Constitution. We demand they serve us, not the people of Mexico. Not the criminal alien employers!
This immigration question may yet destroy the bonds of our collective humanity and the fabric of our nation. If we continue on this path, we expect an added 100 million people in 26 years by 2035. Out of that number, an almost incomprehensible 70 million will be third world migrants.
We cannot solve their countries’ problems, but we can destroy our own with this “human Katrina” flooding into our civilization. We must take a stand to force them to take a stand in their own countries. Otherwise, with their numbers growing by 77 million annually, the line of migrants never ends.
Colorado cannot support the projected six million people added to this state by mid-century any more than the USA can support another 100 million people. In all great social change, citizens of any civilization must move toward ‘consciousness shift’ to ‘critical mass shift’ and then to ‘tipping point’ to change course toward a viable future. You are a part of that.

TIME MAGAZINE IGNORES THE OBVIOUS: TAKE FIVE MINUTES TO TELL THEM
By Frosty Wooldridge
Do you have five minutes to write a quick email? You may use my template letter and add to it. It’s important to inundate Time Magazine with letters to encourage them to address the core reason for mass extinction rates in the USA and around the world.
This week, Time Magazine reported on the relentless extinction rates facing millions of fellow creatures around our planet. Scientifically, it’s called “The Sixth Extinction Session” and humans cause it. Because of human expansion into every corner of the world as well as chemical, climate and habitat damage—scientists said that we could lose as much as half of all bio-diversity on this planet in 90 years.
That’s insane and beyond crazy for one species to take so much life without responsibility.
In the April 13, 2009 issue of Time, “The New Age of Extinction”, by Bryan Walsh, Time Magazine reported on horrifying extinction rates caused by human beings. They said, “We’re the cause—but we’re also the solution.” That’s absurd because our numbers expect to add another three billion humans to the planet in 40 years which means the animals and plants don’t stand a chance at survival.
Time and Mr. Walsh refused to connect human hyper-population growth with the extinction rates. It’s a feel- good article with no chance for a positive outcome for other species.
I invite you to force Time to deal with the issue by your letters to the editors. Send them 100,000 or 1 million letters to push them to addressing the overpopulation crisis. It’s THE single greatest issue facing Americans and all humanity in the 21st century. You may use my template letter and add some of your own or write your own.
Additionally, invite Time Magazine to interview the following people listed below and add them to your letter as an addendum. Thanks, Frosty www.frostywooldridge.com
Dear Time editors:
Re: “Vanishing act: how climate change is causing a new age of extinction” Bryan Walsh
While you report on the severe ramifications of extinctions to thousands of animals around the world and especially Madagascar, you never once-- connect human overpopulation that drives those extinctions. Yes, we cause extinction rates at over 100 per day worldwide, but we will not, if we fail to stabilize human population, become the ‘solution’. I urge Time Magazine to present an entire issue to the need for humanity to address an “International Sustainable Population Policy” as well as one for the USA. If we fail in that single endeavor, the human race expects to grow from 6.7 billion to 9.8 billion in 40 years. With a species like humans, even the stars aren’t safe.

WHAT IS AMERICA’S DANGEROUS FUTURE
By Frosty Wooldridge
In tomorrow's America of suffocating political correctness and clashing cultures, unrestricted immigration, both legal and illegal, proves a merciless weapon of war. George Bush promotes it, Condi Rice facilitates it and Dick Cheney shoves it down America’s throat. All maintain memberships in the Council on Foreign Relations—a One World Order organization dedicated to dissolving the borders and sovereignty of the United States of America.
If you look at the ‘elite class’ in America, none of them or their families dwell in the midst of that which they create for Middle America. We do!
Unending immigration imports conflicting languages, barbaric rituals such as female genital mutilation, deadly diseases like tuberculosis and leprosy, cultural antagonisms and loss of a cohesive national identity. California is our national harbinger of things to come. One look at Britain, Belgium, Holland and France offers a scary glimpse into our future.
It is called Third World Momentum.
The Roman Empire fell to immigration of the Goths and Vandals. Likewise, Celtic Britain, Germany's Prussia and Serbian Kosovo!
Did you notice Canada last summer with its 17 captured homegrown immigrant terrorists? Their Middle Eastern parents immigrated into a First World country with all the advantages of education, jobs and freedom, but they showed their loyalty by making plans to blow people up! How about the 24 homegrown Muslim immigrants in the United Kingdom (not so united today) planning to bomb numerous airliners out of the sky last year? Authorities caught them, this time! Given enough time and numbers, terrorists in America shall succeed in exploding our precious country into chaos.
I motorcycled through Los Angeles last summer 2006 on the 20,000 mile Paul Revere Ride: www.21stcenturypaulrevereride.us. While we stood for the rule of law and the U.S. Constitution, thousands of illegal aliens in LA jeered us while advocating lawlessness. Let me make this clear! Mexicans march to take back their territory, not to immigrate or become Americans. President Bush stands as a preeminent fool if he thinks they want to speak English and swear allegiance to the United States.
Whose country is this, anyway?
What is our dangerous future? Where once immigration furnished men and women for building a nation, today, illegal and unrestricted mass immigration make a few wealthy at the expense of American citizens. Our own corporations ‘outsource’, ‘offshore’ and ‘insource’ jobs to Third World countries--thus leaving American citizens in unemployment lines. The latest Mexican trucking pilot program that started this week takes jobs away from American truckers.
Our own Congress renewed the H-1B and H-2B visas, which gave 890,000 American jobs in the past 10 years to foreigners. The recent Senate bills jumped work visas into limitless numbers. Little wonder our Middle Class augurs into the ground like a plane that lost its wings.
I repeat from a former column—15 to 25 Americans, according to U.S. Congressman Steve King (R-IA) via the GAO reports, suffer death by illegal aliens daily. Former INS agent Mike Cutler verifies that number! Not one single U.S. Senator addresses that fact. Only Peter Gadiel, Carol Goodman, John Vizzi, Bonnie Eggle, Denver Officer Don Young’s wife, the three African-American college bound teenagers killed in Newark last month, and thousands of Americans understand the pain of such deaths by illegals.
Three years ago INS freed illegal alien Malvo who promptly killed 17 Americans. Did Cheney’s daughter suffer death by Malvo or Bush’s two daughters or any of Condi Rice’s relatives? Not a chance. We become collateral damage by our elected officials ignoring their oaths of office. After 9/11, any sane, sensible and vigilant president would have blanketed our borders with Mexico with troops and set up major efforts on the Canadian border.
What has Bush done for six years after 9/11? He’s openly encouraged millions of illegal aliens to cross our borders. For this, we American citizens reap the whirlwind of diseases, crime, destroyed schools, overrun hospitals and deaths.
Additionally, we’ve got a $700 billion annual trade deficit. Wal-Mart buys 90 percent of its goods from China and other Third World countries as it seals the fate of America’s working class—no manufacturing jobs left for our citizens. Thus, we slide into Third World Momentum. What does that term mean?
A citizen from China earns an average of 22 cents an hour. Why? Because an endless supply of them numbering 1.3 billion guarantees a slave working class! What does that mean for you? As Bush adds millions of immigrants into America, take a guess!
In the cultural realm of a First World Country, do we need rituals such as FGM? Can we afford everyone wearing a mask for driver’s license pictures? Can we afford losing our English language and become the Tower of Babel? Do we condone, by being politically correct, 'cock fighting' and ‘horse tripping’ brought to us by Third World cultures? What about 7,000 new cases of leprosy introduced into our country by illegal aliens? What about the new strain of tuberculosis spreading across America because illegal immigrants work in fast food and hotels? It's called MDR TB (multiple drug resistant) for which no cure exists. According to a report in the M.J. News titled: “THE PATIENT PREDATOR: TUBERCULOSIS” by Kevin Patterson, 16,000 cases of this strain of tuberculosis migrated from Mexico in the past five years. Illegal immigrants’ children number over one million in our public schools. If your children contract it at school, will they survive? Two million TB deaths worldwide annually don’t bode well.
California citizens die in emergency rooms because illegal migrants overrun hospitals. Because of no family planning in their countries of origin, this endless line of immigrants pushes us toward 200 million added people vying for diminishing resources past the mid century.
Do you think Bush or Congress address this impending national population nightmare? Hardly! Last year, they attempted to jump legal immigration from 1.1 million annually to 2.0 million in Senate Bill 2611 and S.B. 1369 this year. Thankfully, they failed!
Fellow Americans, I’m researching and writing a series of columns that deal with the consequences of adding 100 million people to the United States by 2040, a mere 33 years from now.
I’ve already seen those numbers manifested in my world travels. I’m going to show you what’s coming. Whose country is this, anyway? It won’t be yours or your kids for much longer if you fail to act.

In tomorrow's America of suffocating political correctness and clashing cultures, unrestricted immigration, both legal and illegal, proves a merciless weapon of war. George Bush promotes it, Condi Rice facilitates it and Dick Cheney shoves it down America’s throat. All maintain memberships in the Council on Foreign Relations—a One World Order organization dedicated to dissolving the borders and sovereignty of the United States of America.
If you look at the ‘elite class’ in America, none of them or their families dwell in the midst of that which they create for Middle America. We do!
Unending immigration imports conflicting languages, barbaric rituals such as female genital mutilation, deadly diseases like tuberculosis and leprosy, cultural antagonisms and loss of a cohesive national identity. California is our national harbinger of things to come. One look at Britain, Belgium, Holland and France offers a scary glimpse into our future.
It is called Third World Momentum.
The Roman Empire fell to immigration of the Goths and Vandals. Likewise, Celtic Britain, Germany's Prussia and Serbian Kosovo!
Did you notice Canada last summer with its 17 captured homegrown immigrant terrorists? Their Middle Eastern parents immigrated into a First World country with all the advantages of education, jobs and freedom, but they showed their loyalty by making plans to blow people up! How about the 24 homegrown Muslim immigrants in the United Kingdom (not so united today) planning to bomb numerous airliners out of the sky last year? Authorities caught them, this time! Given enough time and numbers, terrorists in America shall succeed in exploding our precious country into chaos.
I motorcycled through Los Angeles last summer 2006 on the 20,000 mile Paul Revere Ride: www.21stcenturypaulrevereride.us. While we stood for the rule of law and the U.S. Constitution, thousands of illegal aliens in LA jeered us while advocating lawlessness. Let me make this clear! Mexicans march to take back their territory, not to immigrate or become Americans. President Bush stands as a preeminent fool if he thinks they want to speak English and swear allegiance to the United States.
Whose country is this, anyway?
What is our dangerous future? Where once immigration furnished men and women for building a nation, today, illegal and unrestricted mass immigration make a few wealthy at the expense of American citizens. Our own corporations ‘outsource’, ‘offshore’ and ‘insource’ jobs to Third World countries--thus leaving American citizens in unemployment lines. The latest Mexican trucking pilot program that started this week takes jobs away from American truckers.
Our own Congress renewed the H-1B and H-2B visas, which gave 890,000 American jobs in the past 10 years to foreigners. The recent Senate bills jumped work visas into limitless numbers. Little wonder our Middle Class augurs into the ground like a plane that lost its wings.
I repeat from a former column—15 to 25 Americans, according to U.S. Congressman Steve King (R-IA) via the GAO reports, suffer death by illegal aliens daily. Former INS agent Mike Cutler verifies that number! Not one single U.S. Senator addresses that fact. Only Peter Gadiel, Carol Goodman, John Vizzi, Bonnie Eggle, Denver Officer Don Young’s wife, the three African-American college bound teenagers killed in Newark last month, and thousands of Americans understand the pain of such deaths by illegals.
Three years ago INS freed illegal alien Malvo who promptly killed 17 Americans. Did Cheney’s daughter suffer death by Malvo or Bush’s two daughters or any of Condi Rice’s relatives? Not a chance. We become collateral damage by our elected officials ignoring their oaths of office. After 9/11, any sane, sensible and vigilant president would have blanketed our borders with Mexico with troops and set up major efforts on the Canadian border.
What has Bush done for six years after 9/11? He’s openly encouraged millions of illegal aliens to cross our borders. For this, we American citizens reap the whirlwind of diseases, crime, destroyed schools, overrun hospitals and deaths.
Additionally, we’ve got a $700 billion annual trade deficit. Wal-Mart buys 90 percent of its goods from China and other Third World countries as it seals the fate of America’s working class—no manufacturing jobs left for our citizens. Thus, we slide into Third World Momentum. What does that term mean?
A citizen from China earns an average of 22 cents an hour. Why? Because an endless supply of them numbering 1.3 billion guarantees a slave working class! What does that mean for you? As Bush adds millions of immigrants into America, take a guess!
In the cultural realm of a First World Country, do we need rituals such as FGM? Can we afford everyone wearing a mask for driver’s license pictures? Can we afford losing our English language and become the Tower of Babel? Do we condone, by being politically correct, 'cock fighting' and ‘horse tripping’ brought to us by Third World cultures? What about 7,000 new cases of leprosy introduced into our country by illegal aliens? What about the new strain of tuberculosis spreading across America because illegal immigrants work in fast food and hotels? It's called MDR TB (multiple drug resistant) for which no cure exists. According to a report in the M.J. News titled: “THE PATIENT PREDATOR: TUBERCULOSIS” by Kevin Patterson, 16,000 cases of this strain of tuberculosis migrated from Mexico in the past five years. Illegal immigrants’ children number over one million in our public schools. If your children contract it at school, will they survive? Two million TB deaths worldwide annually don’t bode well.
California citizens die in emergency rooms because illegal migrants overrun hospitals. Because of no family planning in their countries of origin, this endless line of immigrants pushes us toward 200 million added people vying for diminishing resources past the mid century.
Do you think Bush or Congress address this impending national population nightmare? Hardly! Last year, they attempted to jump legal immigration from 1.1 million annually to 2.0 million in Senate Bill 2611 and S.B. 1369 this year. Thankfully, they failed!
Fellow Americans, I’m researching and writing a series of columns that deal with the consequences of adding 100 million people to the United States by 2040, a mere 33 years from now.
I’ve already seen those numbers manifested in my world travels. I’m going to show you what’s coming. Whose country is this, anyway? It won’t be yours or your kids for much longer if you fail to act.

HOW TO DESTROY AMERICA: A SPEECH BY GOVERNOR LAMM
By Frosty Wooldridge
“The problems in the world today are so enormous they cannot be solved with the level of thinking that created them.” Einstein
Recently, I attended an immigration-overpopulation conference in Washington, DC, filled to capacity by many concerned Americans and leaders. Writers, speakers, CEO’s, representatives from Congress such as Tom Tancredo as well as former governors graced the podium. African-American Terry Anderson spoke like a gathering tornado to a capacity audience. Bonnie Eggle, mother of the national parks ranger Kris Eggle, slain by Mexican drug runners two years ago on our unguarded southern border--gave a compelling speech that left not one dry eye in the place. Peter Gadiel, father of Jamie Gadiel, spoke powerfully on how the World Trade Center took his son and how nothing has been done since--to stop the flow of illegal immigration into the United States.
Even with the façade of Homeland Security, according to Time Magazine, September 12, 2004, “Who Left the Door Open?” 4,000 illegal aliens cross nightly in Arizona alone. Three million continue walking, crawling or tunneling across our borders this year. Their accelerating numbers undermine America’s ability to function.
During the conference, speaker after speaker astounded the audience with facts on how fast the present administration and Congress continue dismantling the American Dream for average citizens. Mr. Rob Sanchez of Arizona, showed how H1 B and L 1 visas have ripped one million high tech jobs out of American worker’s hands. Another speaker told a packed audience how ‘offshoring’ and ‘outsourcing’, fully supported by the president and congress have cost over three million American jobs in the past six years. His prediction was even more depressing: “In excess of three million more jobs will be ‘outsourced’ within four years. Those American jobs are headed to Mexico, India, China, Pakistan and Brazil.”
Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm, stood up and gave a speech on ‘How to Destroy America’. The audience sat spellbound by the eight methods for destruction of the United States.
Lamm said, “If you believe that America is too smug, too self-satisfied, too rich, then let’s destroy America. It is not that hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall, and that, “An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.”
“Here is how they destroyed their countries,” Lamm said. “First, turn America into a bilingual or multi lingual and bicultural country. History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. The historical scholar Seymour Lipset put it this way, “The histories of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension and tragedy. Canada, Belgium, Malaysia, Lebanon—all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons and Corsicans.”
Lamm continued on how to destroy America, “Invent ‘multiculturalism’ and encourage immigrants to maintain their own culture. I would make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal. That there are no cultural differences! I would make it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds.”
Any fool can see that Los Angeles, California or Miami, Florida are no longer American cities. Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, San Francisco and many other cities are not far behind. Immigrants arrive at over four million per year, so fast and so many, that they are not assimilating into the American Dream. However, they are creating the American Nightmare for Americans. You would be insulted if you spoke English and you’re not welcome in immigrant enclaves of those cities.
“We could make the United States an ‘Hispanic Quebec’ without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As Benjamin Schwarz said in the ATLANTIC MONTHLY recently: “The apparent success of our own multi-ethnic and multi-cultural experiment might have been achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentrically and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together.”
Two weeks ago, Muslim students at San Francisco State University charged a student- run Republican voting table. They knocked it over and threatened to blow up the place. One Muslim woman vowed to become a bomber martyr. They did not respect our Republican form of government where each of us is afforded our rights to free speech. Ironically, these are American Muslim student citizens. Apparently, they didn’t realize that this is America. No wonder their counterparts in the Middle East only know how to cock a gun or blow themselves up!
Lamm added, “I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with the salad bowl metaphor. It is important to ensure that we have various cultural sub-groups living in America reinforcing their differences rather than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities.”
“Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group the least educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated, undereducated and antagonistic to our population. I would have this second underclass have a 50 percent dropout rate from high school.”
Last year, in Denver, Colorado, 67 percent of the potential graduating class either flunked out or dropped out. This crisis manifests itself again this year in Denver where Tina Griego, an advocate for illegal immigration and employed by the Rocky Mountain News reported November 15, 2004, “North High School teachers estimate only half the student body of 1,400 regularly attend classes.”
That school system suffers hundreds of illegal alien kids who can’t speak English and arrive from functionally illiterate parents. They can’t perform academically because their parents have no interest or background in viable educational processes. Those kids think a remote control takes the place of homework. A similar crisis happens from California to Georgia and from Chicago to Miami.
However, democracy requires four disciplines to flourish while remaining viable. It requires an educated population that possesses a similar moral and ethical foundation while speaking the same language. The United States, via massive immigration, is losing all four aspects. It cannot and will not remain viable much longer with the disruption of its educational systems. Conflicting languages bring a whole new can of worms to the crisis.
“My fifth point for destroying America would be to get big foundations and business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of ‘Victimology’. I would get all minorities to think their lack of success was the fault of the majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority population.”
While a few elites in high places make billions of dollars, they corrupt America’s rule of law and undermine the Middle Class. If you’ll notice—Third World countries DO NOT sustain a Middle Class. They suffer a high class and a low class. America moves in that direction every day of this immigrant invasion.
“My sixth plan for America’s downfall would include dual citizenship and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity over unity. I would stress differences rather than similarities. Diverse people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other—that is, when they are not killing each other. A diverse, peaceful or stable society is against most historical precedent. People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation together. Look at the ancient Greeks: “The Greeks believed that they belonged to the same race; they possessed a common language and literature; and they worshipped the same gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic games. A common enemy Persia threatened their liberty. Yet, all these bonds were not strong enough to overcome two factors…local patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions. Greece fell. In that historical reality, if we put the emphasis on the ‘pluribus’ instead of the ‘unum, we can balkanize America as surely as Kosovo.”
“Before we got here, Miami was nothing,” yelled a militant Cuban.
Today in Miami, you will be insulted if you are an American. Point blank reality: Miami is no longer an American city. Neither is Los Angeles. Every city in America is under assault. Corruption reigns supreme along with growing Third World Momentum. Mexico’s Vicente Fox dictates his wishes in our country by spreading the fraudulent Matricular Consular ID card while promoting 46 Mexican consulates in major cities.
Lamm continued, “Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits—make it taboo to talk about anything against the cult of ‘diversity’. I would find a word similar to ‘heretic’ in the 16th century—that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like ‘racist’ or ‘xenophobe’ halt discussion and debate.”
At every juncture today, anti-American groups like La Raza, MALDEF, LULAC, and MECHA, which are pro illegal alien Mexican groups on U.S. soil--scream ‘racism’ if anyone protests illegal migration. You have to wonder what will happen when they gain majority populations? Will they allow us to use the word ‘racism’ as they promote their agenda of ‘Reconquista of Aztlan’ while they break our country into pieces? At 9.2 million Mexicans now transplanted onto U.S. soil, they are well on their way.
“Having made America a bilingual--bicultural country, having established multiculturalism, having the large foundations fund the doctrine of ‘Victimology’,” Lamm said. “I would next make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would develop a mantra: “That because immigration has been good for America, it must ALWAYS be good. I would make every individual immigrant sympatric and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of them."
In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow. A profound silence swept over the room. Finally, he said, “Lastly, I would censor Victor Davis Hansen’s book “MEXIFORNIA.” His book is dangerous. It exposes the plan to destroy America. If you feel America deserves to be destroyed, don’t read that book.”
There was no applause. A chilling apprehension rose like an ominous cloud above every attendee at the conference. Every American in that room knew that everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding methodically, quietly, darkly, yet pervasively across the United States today. Every discussion is being suppressed. Over 100 languages rip the foundation of our educational system and national cohesiveness. Barbaric cultures that practice female genital mutilation, terror, horse tripping, cock fighting, dog fighting and worse--grow as we celebrate ‘diversity’. American jobs vanish into the Third World as greedy corporations create a Third World in America—take note of California and other states—to date, 20 million illegal aliens and growing, fast.
If you look around you, our president and this Congress are dismantling America by design. Call it ‘multi-culturalism’ or ‘diversity’ or ‘one world government’ or ‘globalism’. In the end, it will mean the finish of the United States of America as a free, cohesive, sustainable and functioning society.
It reminded me of George Orwell’s book, ‘1984’. In that story, three slogans are engraved in the Ministry of Truth building: “War is peace,” “Freedom is slavery,” and “Ignorance is strength.” It dawned on everyone at the conference that our nation and the future of this great republic are deeply in trouble and worsening fast. An invasion of diseases, clashing cultures, languages, balkinization, mounting environmental dilemmas accelerate by the day. If this immigration monster isn’t stopped within two years, it will rage across the United States like a California wildfire and destroy everything in its path, especially the American Dream.
Finally, immigrants drive our population into doubling within the next 60 years to over 600 million people. Remember this--the line never ends as the world grows by 80 million desperate people annually.
“Can you think of any problem in any area of human endeavor on any scale, from microscopic to global, whose long-term solution is in any demonstrable way--aided, assisted, or advanced by further increases in population, locally, nationally or globally?” Dr. Albert Bartlett
If you as an American citizen continue standing by saying nothing, this country is going down for the count. Everything you work and hope for—will not be there for your children. It’s time for your participation. Conviction without action is worthless.

This three minute interview with Adam Schrager on “Your Show” May 4, 2008, NBC Channel 9 News, addresses the ramifications of adding 120 million people to USA in 35 years and six million people to Colorado as to water shortages, air pollution, loss of farmland, energy costs and degradation of quality of life. In the interview, Frosty Wooldridge explains the ramifications of adding 120 million people to the USA in 35 years. He advances new concepts such as a “Colorado Carrying Capacity Policy”; “Colorado Environmental Impact Policy”; “Colorado Water Usage Policy”; “Colorado Sustainable Population Policy”. Nationally, the USA needs a "National Sustainable Population Policy" to determine the carrying capacity of this nation for the short and long term. Wooldridge is available for interviews on radio and TV having interviewed on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and FOX.

In that historical reality, if we put the emphasis on the ‘pluribus’ instead of the ‘unum, we can balkanize America as surely as Kosovo.”
“Before we got here, Miami was nothing,” yelled a militant Cuban.
Today in Miami, you will be insulted if you are an American. Point blank reality: Miami is no longer an American city. Neither is Los Angeles. Every city in America is under assault. Corruption reigns supreme along with growing Third World Momentum. Mexico’s Vicente Fox dictates his wishes in our country by spreading the fraudulent Matricular Consular ID card while promoting 46 Mexican consulates in major cities.
Lamm continued, “Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits—make it taboo to talk about anything against the cult of ‘diversity’. I would find a word similar to ‘heretic’ in the 16th century—that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like ‘racist’ or ‘xenophobe’ halt discussion and debate.”
At every juncture today, anti-American groups like La Raza, MALDEF, LULAC, and MECHA, which are pro illegal alien Mexican groups on U.S. soil--scream ‘racism’ if anyone protests illegal migration. You have to wonder what will happen when they gain majority populations? Will they allow us to use the word ‘racism’ as they promote their agenda of ‘Reconquista of Aztlan’ while they break our country into pieces? At 9.2 million Mexicans now transplanted onto U.S. soil, they are well on their way.
“Having made America a bilingual--bicultural country, having established multiculturalism, having the large foundations fund the doctrine of ‘Victimology’,” Lamm said. “I would next make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would develop a mantra: “That because immigration has been good for America, it must ALWAYS be good. I would make every individual immigrant sympatric and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of them."
In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow. A profound silence swept over the room. Finally, he said, “Lastly, I would censor Victor Davis Hansen’s book “MEXIFORNIA.” His book is dangerous. It exposes the plan to destroy America. If you feel America deserves to be destroyed, don’t read that book.”
There was no applause. A chilling apprehension rose like an ominous cloud above every attendee at the conference. Every American in that room knew that everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding methodically, quietly, darkly, yet pervasively across the United States today. Every discussion is being suppressed. Over 100 languages rip the foundation of our educational system and national cohesiveness. Barbaric cultures that practice female genital mutilation, terror, horse tripping, cock fighting, dog fighting and worse--grow as we celebrate ‘diversity’. American jobs vanish into the Third World as greedy corporations create a Third World in America—take note of California and other states—to date, 20 million illegal aliens and growing, fast.
If you look around you, our president and this Congress are dismantling America by design. Call it ‘multi-culturalism’ or ‘diversity’ or ‘one world government’ or ‘globalism’. In the end, it will mean the finish of the United States of America as a free, cohesive, sustainable and functioning society.
It reminded me of George Orwell’s book, ‘1984’. In that story, three slogans are engraved in the Ministry of Truth building: “War is peace,” “Freedom is slavery,” and “Ignorance is strength.” It dawned on everyone at the conference that our nation and the future of this great republic are deeply in trouble and worsening fast. An invasion of diseases, clashing cultures, languages, balkinization, mounting environmental dilemmas accelerate by the day. If this immigration monster isn’t stopped within two years, it will rage across the United States like a California wildfire and destroy everything in its path, especially the American Dream.
Finally, immigrants drive our population into doubling within the next 60 years to over 600 million people. Remember this--the line never ends as the world grows by 80 million desperate people annually.
“Can you think of any problem in any area of human endeavor on any scale, from microscopic to global, whose long-term solution is in any demonstrable way--aided, assisted, or advanced by further increases in population, locally, nationally or globally?” Dr. Albert Bartlett
If you as an American citizen continue standing by saying nothing, this country is going down for the count. Everything you work and hope for—will not be there for your children. It’s time for your participation. Conviction without action is worthless.

From: Frosty Wooldridge
This three minute interview with Adam Schrager on “Your Show” May 4, 2008, NBC Channel 9 News, addresses the ramifications of adding 120 million people to USA in 35 years and six million people to Colorado as to water shortages, air pollution, loss of farmland, energy costs and degradation of quality of life. In the interview, Frosty Wooldridge explains the ramifications of adding 120 million people to the USA in 35 years. He advances new concepts such as a “Colorado Carrying Capacity Policy”; “Colorado Environmental Impact Policy”; “Colorado Water Usage Policy”; “Colorado Sustainable Population Policy”. Nationally, the USA needs a "National Sustainable Population Policy" to determine the carrying capacity of this nation for the short and long term. Wooldridge is available for interviews on radio and TV having interviewed on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and FOX.

Part 2: OVERPOPULATION--CASSANDRA SYNDROME RELATING TO THE GOPHER HOLE
By Frosty Wooldridge
In the last column you read and connected the dots from Dr. Albert Bartlett as he asked questions that pertain to the ‘silent assertion’. You know this country cannot keep pretending that we can grow forever. We must stabilize our population sooner rather than later. We cannot apply 20th century solutions that will not solve 21st century challenges.
We cannot expect Third World countries to solve their own exploding populations.
Noted scholar and biologist E.O. Wilson said, “The raging monster upon the land is population growth. In its presence, sustainability is but a fragile theoretical construct. To say, as many do, that the difficulties of nations are not due to people but to poor ideology and land-use management is sophistic.”
Those of us living in large cities in America can’t help but wonder: where does it all lead? Denver, where I live, suffers a ‘Brown Cloud’ so thick with toxins that every breath fills my lungs with poison air. Our traffic proves a daily nightmare of accidents, road rage and wasted hours sitting in bumper to bumper frustration. I-70 heading into the mountains makes a weekend getaway a nightmare. Returning proves a study in aggravation. Throw in our water shortages and you’ve got quality of life racing to the bottom of the sewer. Our natural gas costs jumped 33 percent this fall after they jumped 30 percent last year. Our electricity costs jumped 13 percent. Gas prices move toward five dollars a gallon. It’s already eight and nine dollars a gallon in Europe.
Because of mass immigration, we expect an added six million people into Colorado by mid century. Texas adds 12 million by 2025 while California adds 20 million by 2035. Water shortages will become water wars!
The 1993 EPA report stands as a perfect example of silent assertion’s denial of population growth as the prime culprit of our cities’ dilemmas: “Where many areas are experiencing rapid urban growth and associated environmental problems…a stronger emphasis on sustainable agricultural practices will be a key element in any long-term solutions to problems in the area.”
How friggin’ stupid is that statement? We cannot keep growing and stop destroying farmland! In Colorado, we pave 100,000 acres annually in the name of ‘growth’. Tell me how you can grow corn, wheat and vegetables on pavement! You cannot solve traffic gridlock by adding thousands of cars to the highways. You cannot solve water shortages by adding more people, lawns and toilets to flush.
The respected journalist Bill Moyers introduced another aspect of overpopulation when he asked science fiction writer Isaac Asimov, “What happens to the idea of the dignity of the human species if population growth continues at the present rate?”
Asimov replied, “It will be completely destroyed. I like to use what I call the bathroom metaphor: if two people live in an apartment and there are two bathrooms, then both have freedom of the bathroom. You can go to the bathroom anytime you want and stay as long as you want for whatever you need. Everyone believes in the freedom of the bathroom. But if you have 20 people in the apartment and two bathrooms, no matter how much everyone believes in the freedom of the bathroom, there is no such thing. You have to set up times for each person, you have to bang on the door. “Aren’t you through yet?” And so on!”
Asimov made what may become a profound observation as we head into further overpopulation dilemmas: “In the same way, democracy cannot survive overpopulation. Human dignity cannot survive overpopulation. Convenience and decency cannot survive overpopulation. As you jam more and more people into the world, the value of life not only declines, it disappears. It doesn’t matter if someone dies, the more there are, the less one person matters.”
Does anyone here think Chinese and Indian citizens enjoy their predicament? If they enjoy it, why are they fleeing their countries?
Thus, you might ponder a few of Dr. Bartlett’s Laws of Sustainability:
First Law: Population growth and/or growth in the rates of consumption of resources cannot be sustained. Persons who advocate population growth are advocating unsustainability. Such persons mislead themselves and others.
Second Law: In a society with a growing population, the more difficult it will be to transform the society to the condition of sustainability. This is caused by the phenomenon of ‘population momentum’.
Third Law: The response time of populations to changes in human fertility rate is 70 years. In other words, if we want to stabilize the population by mid 21st century, we must make changes now. For the record, the US created a stable society at 2.03 fertility level from 1970, but immigration at two to three million annually negates it.
Fourth Law: The size of population that can be sustained (carrying capacity) and the sustainable average standard of living of the population are inversely related to one another. The higher the standard of living one wishes to sustain, the more urgent it is to stabilize population growth.
Fifth Law: Sustainability requires that the size of the population be less than or equal to the carrying capacity of the ecosystem for the desired standard of living. The rate of destruction of ecosystems increases as the rate of growth of the population increases.
Sixth Law: The benefits of population growth and consumption accrue to a few. The costs are borne by the ‘many’ average citizens. That’s why politicians and developers promote growth along with real estate people. They move to other havens where they escape the ‘results’ of their labors.
Ninth Law: When large efforts are made to improve efficiency, the results are wiped out by added population.
Fourteenth Law: If humans fail to stop population growth and growth in the rates of consumption of resources, nature will stop these growths. By contemporary standards, nature’s method of stopping growth is cruel and inhumane.
One look at the March 14, 2005 Time Magazine piece that reported eight million people die annually of starvation world wide—offers a window into our future. Additionally, you can see it on many of the religious channels where they solicit money for food for millions of starving children in Africa. Notice they offer food which creates more children, so they never solve the core issue of too many humans. They need to offer birth control devices, for, without birth control, all their efforts and your money become useless as those populations explode by 85 million annually.
Nonetheless, I’ll receive hundreds of emails countering this column by well meaning people who operate via emotions, hopes and faith that it will turn out okay. Their propensities fall into the “Cassandra Syndrome”: The Cassandra Syndrome is a term applied to predictions of doom about the future that are not believed, but upon later reflection turn out to be correct. This denotes a psychological tendency among people to disbelieve inescapably bad news, often through denial. The person making the prediction is caught in the dilemma of knowing what is going to happen but not being able to resolve the problem. The origin of the name is derived from Cassandra, who, using her prescience, foresaw the demise of Troy. No one believed her.
What happened to Bangladesh, China and India, happened! Their problems relating to overpopulation create a miserable life for their citizens. As to what is happening in Amsterdam, Holland; Paris, France and Sydney, Australia from immigrating incompatible Third World cultures and languages, which resulted in violence, happened! They dug a ‘gopher hole’ they can’t escape because the ‘beast’ is inside them. It WILL and it IS happening in America unless we change course before the ‘beast’ is too big for us to stop.
I’ve covered the major laws. If you want a full and terribly sobering copy of this report, call 1 800 352 4843 or www.thesocialcontract.com. Ask for the Fall 2007 Quarterly.
We can be docile passengers on the Titanic by silently suffering our fate, or, we can stand up and speak out to the captain and crew of our ship (president and Congress). We are not lemmings or other helpless animals willing to be led over a cliff. I’m confident that millions of Americans refuse the ‘silent assertion’ mode of denial. They know their actions will be the only thing that saves America from drowning by mass immigration. They know their actions create change for their children like their parents’ action in the last century gave them the wonders of a country that provides “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

Part 1: HYPER-POPULATION GROWTH—HOW FAR DOWN THE GOPHER HOLE?
By Frosty Wooldridge
America added 106 million people from 1965 to 2006. Demographic experts showed 300 million people living in America in October 2006. They expect an added 100 million by 2035. The consequences grow irreversible and unsolvable.
As population rises, carrying capacity drops. What is “carrying capacity?” For a quick rendition, it means, “The amount resources on a given piece of land to allow long term sustainable human, plant and animal life.”
If animals or humans exceed ‘carrying capacity’ of any given land mass, they crash in numbers by various means, i.e., famine, war and disease. Garrett Hardin, noted biologist called it, “The Tragedy of the Commons.”
For the 6.7 billion humans in the 21st century, oil resources will define that capacity quotient. Noted Geologist Walter Youngquist said, “This is going to be an interesting decade, for the perfect storm is brewing—energy, immigration and oil imports. China grows in direct confrontation for remaining oil. I think the USA is on a big, slippery downhill slope. Will the thin veneer of civilization survive?” To see how fast we grow, visit www.populationmedia.com
Youngquist continued, “Beyond oil, population is the number one problem of the 21st century, for when oil is gone as we know and use it today—and it WILL be gone—population will still be here.”
The world uses 84 million barrels daily! That’s 42 gallons to a drum! By mid century, use will top 120 million barrels per day. It will run out because limited reserves in the ground.
Dr. Albert Bartlett of the University of Colorado said, “Present population growth rate is putting our children at risk. They will experience holes in the ozone causing serious biological effects on plants and humans. World ocean fisheries are collapsing from endless plundering. Two thirds of the world’s people will suffer from water shortages by 2025. It is not possible to sustain population growth or growth in rates of consumption of resources.”
Where is the worst overpopulation problem on the planet according to Dr. Bartlett? “It’s right here in the United States!”
Dr. Bartlett said, “Can you think of any problem, on any scale, from microscopic to global, whose long-term solution is in any demonstrable way, aided, assisted, or advanced, by having continued population growth—at the local level, the state level, the national level, or globally?”
How many people in the United States are enough? How far down the gopher hole do we want to dig ourselves? At what point is enough—too much? If we shut down the borders today with zero immigration, while enjoying our sustainable 2.03 fertility level of American women on average, we would still grow via ‘population momentum’ by an added 40 million.
In other words, we’re painting ourselves into a perilous corner. Once the numbers manifest, our society will suffer irreversible consequences with unsolvable problems. One visit to Los Angeles will show you they suffer toxic air, dwindling safe drinking water, gridlock to the point of insanity, water shortages, endless highways and housing development. Consider San Francisco, Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Detroit, Denver and all other large cities grow beyond the bounds of reason!
Sustainable growth, slow growth, managed growth, smart growth and all other kinds of growth are oxymoronic. There is no such thing as sustainable growth. Why? All growth exceeds carrying capacity at some point. In other words, the bubble bursts, the dam breaks, the glass spills, the balloon pops and the red-lined engine blows up.
“Population growth is given as a cause of the problems identified, but eliminating the cause is not mentioned as a solution,” Bartlett said. “We are prescribing aspirin for cancer.”
At the current rate of growth driven by immigration, America will double its population just past mid century—from 300,000,000 to 600,000,000. As long as the underlying cause of a problem is not dealt with, we, and our leaders, as a nation, perpetuate a falsehood which Mark Twain called ‘silent-assertion’: “Almost all lies are acts,” he said. “I am speaking of the lie of ‘silent-assertion’. It would not be possible for a humane and intelligent person to invent a rational excuse for slavery; yet you will remember that in the early days of emancipation in the North, agitators got small help from anyone. They could not break the universal stillness that reigned from the pulpit and press all the way down to the bottom of society--the clammy stillness created and maintained by the lie of silent-assertion that there wasn’t anything going on in which intelligent people were interested.
“The conspiracy of the silent-assertion lie is hard at work always and everywhere, and always in the interest of a stupidity (unlimited growth) or sham (unlimited immigration), never in the interest of the respectable (average citizens). It is the most timid and shabby of all lies. The silent-assertion is that nothing is going on which fair and intelligent men and women are aware of and are engaged by their duty to try to stop.”
‘Silent-assertion’ worked until it brought China, India and Bangladesh to their knees with sheer misery of numbers. How do I know? I’ve spent a lot of time in Asia and other overpopulated regions. China, even with enforced one child per family, grows by 10 million annually. India, with 1.1 billion, adds even more yearly. Bangladesh suffers 144 million people in a landmass the size of Iowa. Do you see anyone racing to immigrate to those havens of human overload?
What I ask is, do we as a nation, want millions upon millions of added people from countries already exceeding their ‘carrying capacity’? Legal immigration proves as dangerous as illegal. To think otherwise will allow that ‘silent-assertion’ to create another China or India in America. Just imagine Iowa with 129 million people and all the rest of the United States with THAT kind of population density!
Albert Einstein said, “The problems in the world today are so enormous they cannot be solved with the level of thinking that created them.”
We are no longer living in the 20th century America with only 75 million people riding horses or trains. We’re in the 21st century with cars and jets and 300 million people added to the 6.7 billion on the planet--creating horrific environmental consequences. Again, we had to change our ‘silent-assertion’ about slavery and we MUST change our ‘silent-assertion’ about population growth and economic growth. If we continue steaming full speed ahead like the captain of the Titanic, our children will be on board when we hit the peak oil, global warming, ozone holes, collapsing species, air pollution and other commensurate problems related to the overpopulation “iceberg.” Most died on the Titanic because there weren’t enough life boats.
Maybe some of us choose to maintain our ‘silent-assertion’ in the face of growing consequences, but how can any parent or grandparent be that callous to their children? That gopher hole drops mighty deep!

America added 106 million people from 1965 to 2006. Demographic experts showed 300 million people living in America in October 2006. They expect an added 100 million by 2035. The consequences grow irreversible and unsolvable.
As population rises, carrying capacity drops. What is “carrying capacity?” For a quick rendition, it means, “The amount resources on a given piece of land to allow long term sustainable human, plant and animal life.”
If animals or humans exceed ‘carrying capacity’ of any given land mass, they crash in numbers by various means, i.e., famine, war and disease. Garrett Hardin, noted biologist called it, “The Tragedy of the Commons.”
For the 6.7 billion humans in the 21st century, oil resources will define that capacity quotient. Noted Geologist Walter Youngquist said, “This is going to be an interesting decade, for the perfect storm is brewing—energy, immigration and oil imports. China grows in direct confrontation for remaining oil. I think the USA is on a big, slippery downhill slope. Will the thin veneer of civilization survive?” To see how fast we grow, visit www.populationmedia.com
Youngquist continued, “Beyond oil, population is the number one problem of the 21st century, for when oil is gone as we know and use it today—and it WILL be gone—population will still be here.”
The world uses 84 million barrels daily! That’s 42 gallons to a drum! By mid century, use will top 120 million barrels per day. It will run out because limited reserves in the ground.
Dr. Albert Bartlett of the University of Colorado said, “Present population growth rate is putting our children at risk. They will experience holes in the ozone causing serious biological effects on plants and humans. World ocean fisheries are collapsing from endless plundering. Two thirds of the world’s people will suffer from water shortages by 2025. It is not possible to sustain population growth or growth in rates of consumption of resources.”
Where is the worst overpopulation problem on the planet according to Dr. Bartlett? “It’s right here in the United States!”
Dr. Bartlett said, “Can you think of any problem, on any scale, from microscopic to global, whose long-term solution is in any demonstrable way, aided, assisted, or advanced, by having continued population growth—at the local level, the state level, the national level, or globally?”
How many people in the United States are enough? How far down the gopher hole do we want to dig ourselves? At what point is enough—too much? If we shut down the borders today with zero immigration, while enjoying our sustainable 2.03 fertility level of American women on average, we would still grow via ‘population momentum’ by an added 40 million.
In other words, we’re painting ourselves into a perilous corner. Once the numbers manifest, our society will suffer irreversible consequences with unsolvable problems. One visit to Los Angeles will show you they suffer toxic air, dwindling safe drinking water, gridlock to the point of insanity, water shortages, endless highways and housing development. Consider San Francisco, Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Detroit, Denver and all other large cities grow beyond the bounds of reason!
Sustainable growth, slow growth, managed growth, smart growth and all other kinds of growth are oxymoronic. There is no such thing as sustainable growth. Why? All growth exceeds carrying capacity at some point. In other words, the bubble bursts, the dam breaks, the glass spills, the balloon pops and the red-lined engine blows up.
“Population growth is given as a cause of the problems identified, but eliminating the cause is not mentioned as a solution,” Bartlett said. “We are prescribing aspirin for cancer.”
At the current rate of growth driven by immigration, America will double its population just past mid century—from 300,000,000 to 600,000,000. As long as the underlying cause of a problem is not dealt with, we, and our leaders, as a nation, perpetuate a falsehood which Mark Twain called ‘silent-assertion’: “Almost all lies are acts,” he said. “I am speaking of the lie of ‘silent-assertion’. It would not be possible for a humane and intelligent person to invent a rational excuse for slavery; yet you will remember that in the early days of emancipation in the North, agitators got small help from anyone. They could not break the universal stillness that reigned from the pulpit and press all the way down to the bottom of society--the clammy stillness created and maintained by the lie of silent-assertion that there wasn’t anything going on in which intelligent people were interested.
“The conspiracy of the silent-assertion lie is hard at work always and everywhere, and always in the interest of a stupidity (unlimited growth) or sham (unlimited immigration), never in the interest of the respectable (average citizens). It is the most timid and shabby of all lies. The silent-assertion is that nothing is going on which fair and intelligent men and women are aware of and are engaged by their duty to try to stop.”
‘Silent-assertion’ worked until it brought China, India and Bangladesh to their knees with sheer misery of numbers. How do I know? I’ve spent a lot of time in Asia and other overpopulated regions. China, even with enforced one child per family, grows by 10 million annually. India, with 1.1 billion, adds even more yearly. Bangladesh suffers 144 million people in a landmass the size of Iowa. Do you see anyone racing to immigrate to those havens of human overload?
What I ask is, do we as a nation, want millions upon millions of added people from countries already exceeding their ‘carrying capacity’? Legal immigration proves as dangerous as illegal. To think otherwise will allow that ‘silent-assertion’ to create another China or India in America. Just imagine Iowa with 129 million people and all the rest of the United States with THAT kind of population density!

THE MOST OVERLOOKED & IGNORED ISSUE IN THE UNITED STATES
By Frosty Wooldridge
America faces crushing issues in 2009, but what crisis do you suppose the media danced around in 2008—to ignore, to deny and to push into oblivion? Let’s not talk about it, let’s avoid it, let’s pretend it’s not happening!
While the LA Times, Chicago Tribune, Denver Post, New York Times, Atlanta Constitution and most other papers reported on gridlock traffic, thousands of accidents daily, air pollution overload, water aquifers drying up and not enough lanes on the highways—along with hundreds of powder puff pieces—they never once reported on the cause.
What cause? You mean we live in a cause and effect world? You mean if I pour too much scalding coffee into a cup, it spills onto my lap? You mean if you don’t repair the brakes on your car that they will fail at some inopportune time? Can it be if you stick your finger into a flame, you will burn yourself? Nah, that can’t be, can it?
You bet your bippy Jack!
So what caused most of the environmental, quality of life, energy and other exploding issues facing Colorado and America?
In 2008, the United States added 3.1 to 3.4 million people net gain. The US jumped from 303 million to 306 million on its way to 400 million by 2035—a mere 26 years from now. They slipped in quietly from other overpopulated states, legally and illegally from other overloaded countries. Both legal and illegal immigration drove the other 2.1 million added persons to the USA in 2008. We added our own 1.0 million from ‘population momentum’.
Hyper-population growth stands behind every environmental crisis facing America, yet none of our leaders or media people address it.
"Some national parks have long waiting lists for camping reservations. When you have to wait a year to sleep next to a tree, something is wrong." George Carlin
While Carlin banged on our funny bone for five decades, other concerned people discuss the more serious side of our dilemma.
"One of the biggest green discussions we have in our home is about how we will never be able to really get control of the destruction of our planet's valuable resources until we realize that we have an enormous responsibility and obligation to control the size of the human population that is expanding at a rate never seen before in our history,” said Jason Alexander (Seinfeld bald guy) “This planet was never intended to support the number of human beings we currently have residing on it. As a result, natural lands and animal populations are disappearing—and rapidly. If we do not start to really understand this harsh reality and reverse it, our planet will not survive. At least not with a quality of life that anyone would wish for.
“So our family talks about responsibility in family planning. We talk about replacing ourselves on this globe, rather than doubling or tripling our numbers. It is not an easy conversation. Life and families and babies are all joyous gifts. But if we do not begin to truly account for our numbers, we will surely create an ecological crisis that will only lead to anguish and despair."
Whether it’s Colorado or California or Cancun—folks—we face humongous consequences playing out across the globe in 2009. I guarantee you each problem you read about zooms in on your state and the United States IF we continue adding sheer population overload. Nothing will be gained by adding population overload and everything will be degraded if we continue on this path.
You’re invited to send this column to all your friends and all your politicians. Send LTE’s to your home town newspapers to address what we face IF we allow continue population growth. Demand they address new ideas that step out of the box. Ask them to consider: “US Sustainable Population Policy”; “US Water Usage Policy”; “US Environmental Impact Policy.” “US Sustainable Immigration Policy of fewer than 100,000 annually.”
Additionally, what ideas do you bring to the table? It’s a collective effort and every person’s input counts. If you like more information, you may look at the websites provided to help you understand this great collective undertaking to move America and your state toward a sustainable and viable future.
Let’s use our collective power to make ‘hyper-population growth’ the new buzz word of 2009 and force it into the national spotlight. Let’s deal with it and stop allowing the media and our leaders to ignore it.
