the genocidal elephant in the room

Imagine a life raft, floating in the Pacific Ocean, with 10 intrepid survivors aboard and dwindling supplies of food and water. In this imaginary scenario, there is only one chocolate bar and one bottle of water remaining. What happens next?

I tell you what happens next. There is a fight to the death. Everyone gets pushed overboard except for one survivor… and that's the best-case scenario. It is also likely that everyone falls into the water during the fight, and nobody makes it.

This scenario is a very accurate analogy of where we are at now. I think you know that. I think deep down we all know that there is a fight for resources is coming. Yet nobody is talking about it.

Like the survivors on my boat fiction, they would probably sit around with sad and desperate faces just looking at each other… each of them thinking about taking the chocolate bar and the water, each of them calculating how to get rid of the others.

This is what must be happening now. People are getting ready for the desperate fight for survival that is bound to start at some point soon. People are talking about doom, they are prepping, they are arming themselves, they are planning how to out-run the violence and hoard the resources and fight each other if necessary.

Now ask yourself; what would you do if you had billions of dollars or if you were the most powerful person in your community? Imagine you were Putin or the Pope or Bill Gates, these are easy targets to identify with. But consider that there are plenty of rich and powerful people in all communities around the world. If you were one of those 1%, with all that money and power — what would you do? Surely you can see that very soon, there will be an economic collapse, and that very soon there will be a social meltdown into disorder, geo-instability, refugees, international conflict, civil war etc. etc. etc. it’s on the cards and everyone with half a brain can see it. When I put myself into the shoes of one of these rich and powerful elite, I have a couple of obvious choices.

I could move my family and my investments somewhere safe — for now.

I could prepare a bunker and a survival plan. Ride out the starvation and violence and war for an indefinite period… have it ready to go.

But what comes next? It’s very simplistic to go for the bunker option. Any rich and powerful person will surely be given advice, that this is a dumb idea. If you have more than 1 brain cell you will see that running to your bunker is only a short-term fix and a doomed approach. What you really need to do, is to address the root cause of the problem.

Overshoot — too many humans!

Now dear reader, I am not a fanatic or a psychopath or a terrorist, I am just a truth talker (and writer) and I am not going to lie to myself or to you — the shocking truth is, that the best way to go, is to kill off most of us. That’s right, the geonocidal elephant in the room. Nobody wants to talk about this, let alone write about it! Because even to mention this is dangerous talk. You would be labelled as a terrorist and worse still. And we all know what happens, you would wind up in a cell somewhere or tortured, shot dead, all of the above.

But it is a simple truth. That the best way forward. Is to kill off most humans. This is the only way to stop the overshoot predicament. Overshoot is what has caused climate change and our population growth is destroying our future, killing all other life, burning down our forests etc. etc. So a massive correction will be coming, one way or the other, a massive die back of our species, due to overshoot must occur. So why not just do it now and preserve what remains intact in our present state? Sorry for these dangerous ideas, but I am a human, and this is what we do — we have selfish and dangerous ideas, we keep them hidden, but like survivors on the life raft, there will come a time when we act. It’s not like genocide hasnt happenned before. It’s not like a farmer wont kill livestock when food and water runs out — or simply costs too much! Humans are a violent and blood thirsty species.

So if you run to your bunker, you wont have a future. Your kids wont have a future. You wont last more than a couple of months. To have a future, you must hold on to what we have built. You must protect the remaining natural world. You must maintain a world that supports life, a good life, for you and your family. You want to keep the perks of a high tech society!

So. The inevitable near-term future will see genocide, something far bigger than ever before. Now ask yourself, what is the best way to accomplish this goal. Let’s say you wanted to reduce the global human population back to 1 billion, or even less. Ideally, you would want to target groups/contries and spare others. For obvious reasons, to support your current decadent and spoiled lifestyle, you will need loads of highly educated and able humans to remain. Ideally you would want some way to wipe out the undesirables and keep the good ones — lol.

This is such a callous and clinical story, but its honest, yet I feel disgusted and evil writing this.

The obvious way to fulfil such a macabre global targeted mass death of the undesirables and keep the good ones would be to engineer a lethal virus and a vaccine. In this way the virus could be deployed to the undesirables and the vaccine could be deployed to the good ones. Ideally, you would deploy the virus and inoculate people without them knowing. I am sure this could be done.

Everyone knows about CRISPR and everyone knows about Covid and everyone knows about bioweapons and how to make a nasty virus and everyone knows how to make a vaccine. We did all of this before. With Covid. It would not suprise me if I were to learn that Covid was a weaponised viral experiment, phase 1 of a master plan.

So the million dollar question is when will this happen? When will the virus be released? When will the waves of sickness and death begin? I expect it will happen soon. I mean if you have been workin on this secret project and are ready to go, then what are you waiting for — further destruction of what remains? If you let things continue to degrade much more, then you are going to have a shitty world left over. Best to do it asap, based on what I see going on.

When will it start?

I am guessing that there is a very large genocidal elephant in the room.

Am I the only one brave enough (or foolish enough) to write about it? Shhhh.

I hope you and I are amongst the good ones that are spared.
