London Mouthpiece Demands Depopulation; Start With the Royals?

October 1, 2009 (LPAC)—In an editorial appearing in the Sept. 25-26 edition, the Financial Times called for a renewed drive for population control, in the name of Parson Malthus. In the lead paragraphs of the piece, entitled "Malthus Redux," it says:

"For too long, population control has been virtually absent from international political discourse. Leaders have been reluctant to raise the issue for several reasons. One is fear of the powerful religious lobbies opposed to contraception. Another is the unfortunate legacy of some over-enthusiastic family planning campaigns in the past, such as India's in the 1970s.

"But several factors are now coming together to put family planning back on the global agenda where it belongs. The most immediate is climate change."

The editorial goes on to cite the results of the study of Optimum Population Trust, which argued that the most "cost-efficient" manner to cut carbon dioxide production, was to reduce population. In fact, the Financial Times says, "it is hard to think of any aspect of life on earth that would be improved by having more people." (!)

The Times claims this could all be voluntary—and a lot easier with the Obama administration than the previous Bush team. In fact, they are enforcing the very economic policies which are guaranteed to force massive depopulation, including in their very own British Isles.

If you're going to cut back Britons, Lyndon LaRouche commented, don't you think you ought to start with the royals?
