The Overpopulation Myth is a Distraction from Our Real Problems: Poverty and War

The fact is when the Global Elite start getting worried that they can't maintain "control" over the people, they start a campaign of "Oh no! We're overpopulated!" and start f#cking around with the food supply. This has been done several times since the 1600's. Good short video explains it.

The truth is that every man, woman and child in the whole world could have about 1 acre of land to themselves and it would all fit into a land mass the size of North America, with the rest of the world completely unoccupied.

Total land area of North America (including Central America and the Caribbean): 24,486,305 km² (6,050,697,738 acres)

Average population density of North America: 21.0 persons per square kilometer (11.77 acres per person)

Total population of Earth 7,033,094,538

Average population density of Earth: 44.0 persons per square kilometer (5.62 acres per person)

6,050,697,738 acres of North America / the total world population of 7,033,094,538 = .86 acres per person (not families mind you, that would take up less land mass)

Poor provision of food, water and medicine, land and other resources lead to war, and certain places have bigger populations, which do not always adhere to borders. It causes the mass migrations. or war.

We still have hope: a reasonable alternative to the crazy system (our last 12 years) Rocky Anderson is on ballot in many states, and he praised Ows as idealistic courageous and convergent with his positions (4th LINK) His strategy is through social media, as the egyptian s did, wants a revo. Against duopoly. If we met up in public forums, parks, and championed his candidacy, that's freedom of speech. How could that be shut down. And everyone emailed, wrote everyone they know, everyone in the phone book, but keep it optimistic, have kids there, etc pro family and worker.

It was cool to the public when you occupied. Real not staged. For those who know in their soul the system has deep problems, it was inspiring.

Can WE occupy central park(s) and spread the message there, even if it is daily. It was cool you were out in public standing up.

It's just whole country feels conservative, cause cons keep repeative Obama is communist.

OWS was so fast, and not well covered in main media, for most part. I think it was raising awareness, especially when the police got out of line, but now it is easy for public to ignore, and for many they may believe it has faded away:((

Now apply that same formula to only habitable land mass with a population of 20 billion... you're analysis is flawed.
