Mission Already Accomplished

Bernie says he wants "population control" as part of his climate agenda.
An audience member asked Sanders about "educating everyone on the need to curb population growth."

"Human population growth has more than doubled in the past 50 years. The planet cannot sustain this growth. I realize this is a poisonous topic for politicians, but it's crucial to face," the audience member asked. "Empowering women and educating everyone on the need to curb population growth seems a reasonable campaign to enact. Would you be courageous enough to discuss this issue and make it a key feature of a plan to address climate catastrophe?"

"The answer is yes," Sanders responded. "And the answer has everything to do with the fact that women in the United States of America, by the way, have a right to control their own bodies and make reproductive decisions."
In fact, we may already be there. Too, it is exactly for the reason Bernie cites as his goal: education, particularly of women. Women are simply deciding to have a lot fewer kids, and medicine has given them the power to control that decision.

But I gather it isn't happening fast enough for Bernie. Or else he hasn't a clue about what's happening, which is always possible. I wonder what he thinks is an ideal population--is a reduction on his mind?

The simplest explanation is that he thinks it is still 1970. This was true of his comments on socialism in Scandinavia, where they went hard socialist 1970-1990 and have been slowly backing away since.

The planet can support a lot more people than it currently does. Whether that would be good or not, or whether it's likely barring significant political change (towards Rule of Law and secure property rights) is an open question of course.

Like AVI said, Bernie hasn't learned anything new in the last 50 years.
Sub-Saharan Africa is the only place where the fertility rate is still above four births per woman.

I am surprised you have yet to mention the Georgia Guidestones, Grim. Since they are in Georgia after all.
'
Inscriptions
A message consisting of a set of ten guidelines or principles is engraved on the Georgia Guidestones[8] in eight different languages, one language on each face of the four large upright stones. Moving clockwise around the structure from due north, these languages are: English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Traditional Chinese, and Russian.

Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
Guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity.
Unite humanity with a living new language.
Rule passion — faith — tradition — and all things with tempered reason.
Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
Balance personal rights with social duties.
Prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite.
Be not a cancer on the earth — Leave room for nature — Leave room for nature.


As for where this originates think.... Agenda 21 UN or Deep State Cabal. ANd you would not be far off.

But also let it be mentioned that Michael, Yeshua, and others of like mind and power, will not let that stand when the reinforcements come and occupy Earth. It will be quite interesting to see how America and the DS reacts to that.

Haven't I mentioned them? I have ridden out to them. They're not too far from the University of Georgia, as motorcycle rides go.

Not recently. If you did many many years ago, I cannot recall where I heard it first from.
