Within its own borders Afghanistan might be able to grow enough food to feed perhaps 15 million people.
Egypt lost the ability to feed itself from its own efforts decades ago, but the number of Egyptians is still bounding away. In fact the frisson of changes of government associated with the Muslim Brotherhood seems to have produced a spike in Egyptian fertility. …
[The globalists] are concerned that the spectacle of mass starvation will take the public’s attention away from make-believe problems such as global warming to real concerns about their own security. Immigration will be seen to be the very bad thing that it really is …
