The idea that the world is over populated, or that the wrong sort of people have too many babies, is as old as mythology.

In the Babylonian epic of Atrahasis, the gods send a series of calamities to reduce the population. Plague, drought, famine and flood — just as the World Economic Forum talks today about polycrisis.

Eugenics, as breeding a better race, appears in Plato's Republic.

Thomas Malthus of the British East India Company School developed the course of Politics, Philosophy and Economics. This became the platform by which the ideas of empire would be transmitted to each new generation of civil servants — university as indoctrination.

And one of those assumptions is that catastrophe will ensue if human reproduction is left unchecked.

Malthus asserted that the growth of population was always exponential but agriculture only linear. Thus they must diverge, leading to famine.

He proposed preventative checks, such as abstinence and delayed marriage, and positive checks:

“In our towns we should make the streets narrower, crowd more people into the houses, and court the return of the plague. In the country we should build our villages near stagnant pools, and particularly encourage settlements in all marshy and unwholesome situations...
“But above all, we should reprobate [condemn] specific remedies for ravaging diseases: and those benevolent, but much mistaken men, who have thought they were doing a service to mankind by projecting schemes for the total extirpation of particular disorders.”

Hmm… narrowing the driving lanes, speed bumps and "traffic calming" and variable limits, crowding people into 15-minute cities, exaggerating pandemics and fear of the lurgey. Sequestering water and energy, and pushing farmers off their land.

Malthus proposed that script more than 200 years ago. Do globalists ever have new ideas?

Can there ever been such a class of self-described elites more devoid of creativity?

They aim to bring about the crisis that they claim to avoid: inducing famine in order to prevent one…

“They say hundreds of millions of people will die so therefore they should stop using fertilizer now. So they end up creating the crises that they say they are warning against,” as the journalist Michael Shellenberger puts it.

Even if this sounds like the ravings of a psychopath, Thomas Malthus' Essay on the Principle of Population of 1798 remains one of the most influential publications in history.

His ideas were challenged by real-world events during his lifetime. British tariffs and the protectionist Corn Laws from 1815-1846 blocked the import of cheap wheat, oats and barley — the resulting high prices benefiting big landowners while depriving British consumers of disposable income to spend on other economic sectors.

The late Abbott Gleason, professor of history at Brown University, identified the Corn Laws as the period when another trait of the British establishment emerged.

The legendary English liberal Richard Cobden in July 1836, at the age of 32, would publish a pamphlet entitled A Cure For The Russo-Phobia.

He exposed how hysteria was being whipped up to blame Russians for higher food prices, when the blockade had been orchestrated by British landowners so that they could profit by excluding competing Russian grain.

What’s new, pussy kot?

Famine’s profiteers

"The Almighty, indeed, sent the potato blight, but the English created the Famine," wrote John Mitchel.

Ireland continued to export food to Britain during the famine, including butter and grain, which had been what the Irish ate. The extraction of rent by middlemen working for landowners meant tenant farmers were reduced to living off potato for it was the most nutritional product they could grow on the small amount of land they were allotted to feed themselves. As well as corn and butter, Ireland exported sheep, honey and oysters before, during and after the famine.

Malthusian ideas had led to the replacement of the 1601 Poor Law of Elisabeth I with the more restrictive Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, reasoning that helping the poor only encouraged them to have more children.

The English civil servant Charles Trevelyan, who was in charge of government relief to Ireland, welcomed the starving out of small farmers to be replaced by investment capital. [1]

That’s from the horse’s mouth. You don’t need to put words into his.

Vested interests would serve big money, while the schools and the press would divide the people against themselves, then as now.

The British elite persisted with the dogma of Malthus because it aligned with the mercantilist practices of the empire, and profited the British East India Company (EIC) and the City of London.
