World Population: 7 Billion in Two Years

A new report indicates that in less than two years global population will reach seven billion people, a number that imposes new challenges for food, health and education. The report also shows that the highest fertility rates are in underdeveloped countries, particularly among the poorest segments of the population. Producer Zulima Palacio takes a look at the statistics. Carol Pearson narrates.

@pronatalist The entire parasitic nation of Israel is racist, 99.9% of jews are racist. They hate everyone who isn't a kike (name for a jew) It's the same with stupid ass sand niggers. If any race witnessing genocide, would you support the genocide of it or do you believe that every race has a right to live in this world?

@GuardianofDarkness1

What does "kikes" mean?

I am not impressed with your racist statements. And if there are "racist" Jews out there, I am not their appointed spokesman. Why don't you ask them?

[GuardianofDarkness1]

@pronatalist You are completely ignoring my statements about kikes wanting to kill off White people and do you support the genocide? Can I get your input on that?

Do the people think, I (as king) am running the kingdom all wrong, such that they don't expect to have a good future for their children? Or maybe the people are corrupt and selfish?

Human pops that are not growing, are dysfunctional in some way. Society is unhealthy and rotten. Something is wrong with the family, or they don't believe in God, or they are selfish, or working so hard that they have not much reproductive drive, or perhaps they have been poisoned by chem-trails?

Finally look at Proverbs 14: 28 - In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.

Does the king, or the gov have something to say about whether the nation's pop should grow? The Bible says, YES. For God the king, has commanded that his people multiply. How can there be any kingdom, with few people?

If I was king, I would feel very hurt, if the people didn't want to multiply. I might think I was a bad king if so?

Should corporations be allowed to operate as "persons" and also enjoy "free speech?" I have a lot of questions about whether corporations are really "persons" or not. Corporations should never be allowed to cast "votes" in general political elections. How many "corporations" could a person or group of persons make, to "stuff the ballot box?"

Heard conspiracy theory that D.C. gov incorporated, so as to escape responsibility to voters, taxpayers. So U.S. has free speech rights?

Should gov be allowed to advertise? They waste our tax money on everything else? Does gov have natural incentive to promote healthy family values, so as to prevent national decay, minimize chance of violent revolution, or unstable economy or gov? If so, if we allow gov to advertise, then gov should be allowed to run PSAs, billboards, urging naturally-growing big families, warn against dangers of the trendy unnatural contraceptives. In fact, contraceptives were banned as obscene

I heard that commie chairman Mao, of China, said that a large and growing pop, would make China strong. Is that correct? Did he say that, and encourage large families? Anyway, China really grew. More pop would allow lots more people to experience life.

Govs really should encourage huge, dense, growing pop, because being "neutral" on such important matters, is UNSTABLE, making issue more subject to fickle political winds. That's a reason I am consistently, strongly pronatalist

Should gov be paying grown-up children, to become "volunteer" soldiers in the military? We shouldn't need so many soldiers, if we would refuse to become so entangled in other countries' affairs, like how our founding fathers believed we should be more independent of the world. I think paid soldiers is better than the draft, as there has to be an out for people too scared to be soldiers, so they don't poison ranks with their fear.

Not enough will volunteer, if too few kids born
