replicating in a manner to keep us alive and healthy. They will expose this
fact with pompous and glamor and with a sense of exhilaration, as if it were
one of the greatest gifts ever given to humankind. Maybe that day will be a
day of annual celebration worldwide; the annual Immortality Celebration
Day.
I do believe that population reduction is part of the agenda, but if we
look at the world population now and compare it with two years ago, we
will see that it has increased. Today, we have a world population of 7.4
billion people 91 and in 2014 we were at 7.2 billion people. 92 This means that
the supposed goal to decrease the population to 500 million people does not
seem to work.
If a world population of 500 million is still the goal, why are they not
working more effectively on it? Not until recently did I realize how close
we are to achieving the Singularity, and by then (one would think) the
Administrators would like to have accomplished their 500 million goal. Now
we should know that the population reduction down to 500 million people
is mainly using the Georgia Guidestones as a reference, on which this
number was written. 93 After all, this can be deliberate disinformation to
create more fear amongst us.
Another option is that they actually want to keep the population about
the current level, a goal which seems more obtainable, but even with AI
coming into the picture, 7 billion people seems like too much to control (or
perhaps not). Many die in wars and from disease around the world, but
that’s the way it’s always been, and no wars have been able to hold
population growth back. Fewer people die from diseases now than they did
150 years ago, and people live longer, so how do these facts fit into the
equation of population reduction?
Moreover, the biggest reason for population growth in our world
today is the mass reproduction of children in the Third World. People in
these areas are often uneducated and not used to be organized enough to
look at the consequences of having, let’s say, seven to ten children. These
people already live in poverty and certainly can’t afford that many children,
and society is not set up to take care of them either. It’s in these parts of the
