(348 posts)And as you so stated, the only question is can it be stopped. Unfortunately, I think not. This is a global problem that has been in the works (in current draconian form) for over 100 years...in earnest since the advent of modern central banking. The same old motives for power and control that civilization has always fell victim to are at work here, again. As our global population balloons out of control it is the economic, religious, and political authorities that conspire to set us against each other in their own jostling for terrestrial immortality.... ever more demand is placed on increasingly depleted natural resources, and as the inevitable social violence follows, our civilization will collapse and our species will face a genetic bottleneck. We will emerge changed, if we emerge at all. We are watching the swan song of the world as we know it. It is a closed system, and there is too much entropy....
