- On many of my transcontinental bicycle treks across six
continents over the past 30 years, I noticed one repeating aspect of problems
in Third World countries: leaders ignore problems until they become irreversible
and unsolvable.
-
- Once those problems manifest, citizens in those countries
live with the consequences, i.e., they live in misery. What kind of misery?
According to the March 14, 2005 issue of Time Magazine, eight million
people starve to death annually around the globe. Over 35 percent of human
beings on this planet do not enjoy clean drinking water, daily!
-
- Tuberculosis kills two million human beings annually.
AIDS killed millions in Africa with millions more expected to die. In
China, their government forces its citizens into one child per family;
only boys. Why? Because, 50 years ago, they ignored their growing population
until it exploded into 1.3 billion people; 20% of the population of the
world. Such horrific numbers couldn't be sustained. Today, even with
one child families, they can't solve their food, air and water dilemmas...
let alone present anything but a subsistence life for most of their citizens.
And so they send their masses elsewhere, like the U.S.
-
- Do you think other countries' leaders might step up to
address such problems? Let's look at the problems facing Mexico. In the
last century, it grew from 50 million to 104 million. It's expected to
double to 200 million within this century. It might triple. As witnessed
in the past 20 years, it can't feed, clothe or house its citizensâ·
so 10 (Bear-Stearns tell us more than 20 MIL, PLUS 11 MIL children) million
Mexicans migrated illegally to the United States.
-
- As Mexico doubles again, we can expect no less than 10
to 30 or 40 million more Mexican migrants flooding into the USA in the
next ten years. And, thanks to the vagaries of immigration and birthrate,
their numbers (Spanish language ONLY) will double inside the U.S. every
five years. Do YOUR elected members of Congress understand that ?
-
- Water Supplies Are Limited
-
- You think it's been hot and dry this summer? So what's
the problem? Short answer: water !
-
- Two years ago, a devastating drought gripped Colorado
and much of the West. Water rationing became the norm in Denver where
I live. Reservoirs dropped to dangerous levels. That wouldn't have been
a problem in 1990 with only 3.1 million in the state. However, in a decade,
more than 1.3 million citizens moved to Colorado, where the population
now hovers near 5 million... of which more than 10% are aliens, legal and
illegal. Demographers expect another four to six million within 44 years.
There will probably be more than twice that.
-
- At the same time, California adds 20 million by 2035,
Texas adds 12 by 2025, Florida doubles every 20 years, and Arizona will
add up to four million. Check these figures out at populationreferencebureau.com
and balance.org and numbersusa.com
-
- In other words, as we allow (encourage) millions to immigrate
into America, we create commensurate penalties for our citizens. As if
an echo or a mirror, our own leaders mimic the same actions as Third World
leaders. Why? The future doesn't concern them. However, the future involves
all our children, and grand-children. You have to wonder where they will
flee for a better life.
-
- Associated Press writer James McPherson on July 30, 2006
wrote a piece "Without Rain, Dakotas Dry Up." He reported, "Fields
of wheat, durum and barley in the Dakotas this summer will never end up
as pasta or breadâ· what is left is hot winds blowing clouds
of dirt from dried-out ponds."
-
- More than 60 percent of the United States suffers abnormally
dry or drought conditions this summer. I've traveled through 47 of the
lower-48 states thus far this summer. I've seen burned-up corn and pigmy
crops from the lack of water. This drought stretches from Georgia to Arizona...
and from Montana to Wisconsin.
-
- Mark Svoboda, climatologist for the National Mitigation
Center at the University of Nebraska said, "The Dakotas are the epicenterâ·it's
just a wasteland in north central South Dakota."
-
- A South Dakota farmer, Paul Smokov, 81, said, "Conditions
this summer are the worstâ·I could see it coming in May.
That's the time the good Lord gives us rains, but we never got them this
year. This is the worst since the 1930s."
-
- Let's sober you up a few notches. At current legal immigration
levels of 1.1 (1.8, to include "special exceptions") million
annually and our own population growth momentum of 1.0 (more than 2 MIL,
when "anchor-babies" are included) million annuallyâ·
that equals 2.1 (almost 4 MIL) million people added to the USA annually.
-
- Then we must add-in the illegal aliens. Reliable sources
tell us that in 2006 the U.S. is gaining 4.5 MIL from the south, almost
2 MIL from China and Asia (arriving through Canada and our "leaky"
seaports), and nearly 2 MIL others who simply stay in the U.S. after their
visa expires. {There are some esteemed enumerators who tell us that is
a low estimate.}
-
- So, in round numbers, in 2006 we are gaining about 2
million legal aliens and perhaps 8.5 million ilegals. Yes, really. If
our President decides to make another "exception" and bring in
more than the 22,000 Cubans now allocated, it adds to the mix. Of course,
the majority of the Hispanic-Latino illegals tend to reproduce at a rate
of some 4.5 per couple... encouraged by the "anchor-baby" opportunity
in the U.S. ... so their rate tends to double their numbers every five
years.
-
- Let's multiply that by what will happen in the aggregate
in the next 10 years. That's something like 81 million more people requiring
food and water in the U.S. alone. By the year 2026, it equals about 200
million. The growth is exponential. Meanwhile, do your two elected senators
and your Congressional Representative say word one about all of this ?
-
- In a July front page exclusive, USA Today reported the
United States will add 100 million by 2040. Boy, are they underestimating
the onslought. It is more likely that the U.S. population will be 700
million by 2040.
-
- Is there a chance that America will experience commensurate
rainfall to provide food and water for that added 200 million in 20 years?
More to the point, will we be able to adequately feed and water the 300
million already in the USA? Is there a chance that science might produce
miracle crops that grow without water? As America suffers farmland and
wetland vanishing by the millions of acres for new malls, highways and
housing, do you think crops might grow on concrete and asphalt? Could
cows and sheep munch on fields of freeways?
-
- Short answer: No !
-
- In 2006 you witness a president and Congress mirroring
Third World leaders. Not one single senator steps up to the microphone
to speak on this growing national nightmare. The president refuses to
address America's water crisis. Dick Cheney seems clueless... couldn't
care less. Condi Rice, for all her brainpower, struggles under the nightmare
of an irrelevant war... the conflagration in Lebanon, and the instigation
coming from Syria and Iran. Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists double in numbers
every three years. The presidential cabinet acts more like sycophants
than knowledgeable leaders. They dink around with nits and plunge the United
States into the same irreversible and unsolvable consequences now experienced
in China, India and Mexico.
-
- What choices do Americans possess in light of this frightening
future ?
-
- You can choose to stand up, speak out, dump the dangerous
politicos... and promote and elect leaders who will address our country's
water crisis and other accelerating problems... or your children and grand-children
will suffer the same fate as hapless citizens of China, India and Mexico.
-
- What are YOU doing today to change that trend ?
