Another curious form of dialectical project naming by the UN

The Limits to Growth significantly influenced global discourse on sustainability and population control, including the strategies and policies of the United Nations (UN). Although the book itself did not directly shape UN policies, its emphasis on the consequences of unchecked population growth and resource depletion contributed to a growing awareness that influenced population strategies within the UN and other international organizations.

Key Impacts on the UN’s Population Strategies:

1. Sustainable Development Framework: The Limits to Growth underscored the interconnectedness of population growth, resource use, and environmental sustainability. This fed into the broader discussions within the UN about how unchecked population growth could exacerbate environmental degradation and resource scarcity. This thinking contributed to the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), where the focus shifted to sustainable development, highlighting the need for controlling population growth in conjunction with promoting environmental sustainability.
2. Emphasis on Population Control: The UN began integrating population control more actively into its strategies in the 1970s and 1980s, driven by concerns over the limits of Earth’s resources, as pointed out by The Limits to Growth. The UN Fund for Population Activities (now UNFPA) placed increasing emphasis on family planning, reproductive health, and the reduction of fertility rates in developing countries, partly influenced by the data and warnings provided by reports like The Limits to Growth.
3. Global Collaboration on Population Issues: The message of The Limits to Growth reinforced the need for international collaboration to address population growth’s implications on global resources. This resulted in the UN organizing high-level discussions and conferences, such as the World Population Conferences in 1974 and 1984, to address these issues. These conferences aimed to find balanced solutions that would promote both human welfare and ecological preservation.
4. Incorporation of Ecological Limits: In subsequent years, particularly with the UN’s Agenda 21 in 1992, the idea of ecological limits (central to The Limits to Growth) was integrated into population strategies, where population dynamics were viewed not just in terms of economic development but also in terms of their environmental impact.

While The Limits to Growth did not directly dictate specific UN population policies, its ideas contributed to a broader shift in international thinking. Population control became a part of a larger strategy to manage global resources responsibly, leading to the development of policies that promote family planning, reproductive rights, and sustainable development.

The book’s long-term influence is visible in how the UN approached population and sustainability from the 1970s onwards, emphasizing the interrelationship between population growth, economic development, and environmental sustainability?.

It almost kinda sorta looks like the Limits to Growth was a book foisted upon the public to justify a depopulation agenda by the UN. The fact that every prediction was wrong, and I mean wrong on the enormous scale of the ‘Global Warming’ line of effort against the West, is secondary to the point but not entirely irrelevant.

The United Nations, headed by a life-long communist in the form of António Guterres, has created a new phrase which is a 180 turn about from its previous position.

Identical in the ways that matter from its reversal of its Nuclear Winter stance pivoting deftly to Global Warming without even acknowledging its previous position, the United Nations has now coined the phrase, “Population Alarmism”.

Do not read further if drinking anything just at this moment. You will get coffee coming out of your nose.

Here is what Chat GPT had to say about the phrase:

Vlad: The UN refers to a phrase it created called Population Alarmism. what does it mean

Population Alarmism is a term used by the United Nations and other organizations to refer to exaggerated or overly pessimistic claims about the impacts of population growth. It often describes concerns or policies that focus on the perceived threats of overpopulation—such as resource scarcity, environmental degradation, and economic collapse—without fully considering other factors like technological advances, resource management, and demographic transitions.

The UN coined this term to caution against alarmist rhetoric, which can sometimes lead to counterproductive or overly aggressive population control policies. Population alarmism typically emerges from predictions or studies (such as those inspired by works like The Limits to Growth or Malthusian theory) that emphasize dire consequences without accounting for potential adaptive measures or changes in human behavior, such as advancements in agriculture, renewable energy, or improvements in family planning and health care.

Key Aspects of Population Alarmism:

1. Exaggerated Risks: It emphasizes doomsday-like scenarios, where unchecked population growth is portrayed as leading inevitably to environmental and economic collapse.
2. Oversimplified View: Often, alarmist views neglect complex factors, such as advancements in technology, shifts in birth rates due to education and access to contraception, and changes in resource management.
3. Policy Consequences: The term is used to warn against policies or actions that stem from fear rather than evidence-based planning. In some historical cases, alarmist views on population growth led to extreme policies, such as forced sterilizations or strict family planning measures, which were later criticized for violating human rights.

The UN promotes a more nuanced approach, focusing on sustainable development, education, and voluntary family planning rather than drastic measures driven by fear of population growth.

For example, the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) held in Cairo in 1994 shifted global thinking from population control strategies toward broader goals like women’s empowerment, reproductive health, and sustainable development as solutions to population concerns. This approach directly counters the overly simplistic view associated with population alarmism?

So the UN actually created a phrase to try and dialectically negate its own policies on population via the Limits to Growth, even citing it as a problem.

Making sense of it is easy though.

Communism is about destruction through informational warfare. Nuclear Winter and Limits to Growth were not sufficiently destructive. So the pivot to global warming and “population alarmism” (I still can’t type that without twisting my lips all out of shape) was the next attempt. No contradiction there because the purpose was the same. The destruction of the West primarily.

As a Post Script, it has proven to be impossible for me to find any of the thousands of hours of people warning us about nuclear winter. David Suzuki, one of the people who somehow got a lot of the population to get those God-Awful compact fluorescent bulbs, was the best Canadian example of constant TV appearances about Nuclear Winter and then suddenly it was all Global Warming.

But good news! You can get a copy of Limits to Growth maybe from Amazon.

I should emphasize at this point that the purpose of this post is not to argue population or resource management. We are examining all these things from the point of view of an analysis of information warfare, primarily of the West but against all human modes of organization. To argue the rightness or wrongness of population and resource use is a perfectly legitimate discussion.
But it is our contention that this discussion, like nearly every other subject that matters, has been turned into weapons against the public. And to argue the specifics of what is not the point, is to give the information-warfare attack energy and mass.

This applies to all dialectic lines of operation.
