DO NOT KILL THE LIVING EARTH! Some say that without humans, planet Earth would be more humane… The problem isn’t just that there are too many of us, but rather that most of us aren’t Humans but animals. Bipedal beasts of the System that is killing the Living Earth.

For most of history, population growth was insignificant; 10,000 years ago, there were about 5 million people on the planet. The population explosion occurred in the 20th century; in 1930, there were 2 billion, meaning it took ten thousand years… After 1930, it took only 40 years for the number to double. In 1950, there were only five cities in the world with populations over 5 million; by 1980, there were 26, and by 2000, around 50. Giant cities with populations of 25-30 million have emerged.

The world’s population increases by approximately 250,000 people daily, with annual growth reaching 80 million. The majority of this growth (approximately 97 percent) is occurring in developing countries in Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the Hindustan Peninsula. Sergey Kapitsa: “The Club of Rome was the first to raise the issue of OVERPOPULATION on Earth back in the 1970s as a global problem. It soon became clear that this was the primary issue.”

**** Overpopulation has been a concern since ancient Rome. Tertullian wrote: “WE BURDEN THE WORLD WITH OURSELVES; its wealth is barely sufficient to sustain us. As our needs increase, so does the murmur that nature can no longer provide for us.” The negative consequences of the population explosion: EXTINCTION OF OTHER ANIMAL SPECIES, deforestation, pollution of the biosphere, global warming, declining living standards for the majority, wars, unemployment, famine, …. As the human population grows, so does SOCIAL INJUSTICE. 15 percent of humanity controls 85 percent of the Earth’s natural resources.

Over the past 200 years—an insignificant period by historical standards—the human population has increased almost eightfold. There are no animals in the world (weighing more than 1 kg) whose population is comparable in size to the human population; at most, several tens of millions of individuals. There are 8 billion of us. But this wouldn’t be such a big problem if it weren’t for DOMESTIC ANIMALS! As of 2018, that’s 1.4 billion cows, 1.1 billion sheep, a billion pigs, etc. Cows produce 30 billion tons of manure annually, which, when broken down, releases 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. To feed these animals, a THIRD of the Earth’s surface has been converted into farmland.

As the population grows, the size of farmland is growing. In 2019, the population growth was a record – 97.7 million people. Deforestation for cropland was also a record – 11.4 million hectares. Due to ruthless exploitation, 40 percent of arable land is in varying degrees of degradation. The amount of forest per capita is declining particularly rapidly. From 1.5 hectares per person. In 1960, the global average per capita was 0.6 in 2018. By 2050, it will be 0.4.

**** According to the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWK), modern humanity consumes 20 percent more natural resources than the Earth can produce. And to meet our needs, we need to colonize two Earth-sized planets… Water consumption is growing twice as fast as the planet’s population. And this is a more serious issue than food shortages. **** THE GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES MUST BE FAIR! The rich MUST share their surplus with the poor. ****

The main IMPACT ON NATURE comes from cities. Although they occupy only 2% of the world’s land, they are the source of 80 percent of HARMFUL emissions worldwide. They also account for 6/10ths of freshwater consumption. In 1900, 13 percent of the world’s population lived in cities; by 2010, that figure had risen to 52%. PESTICIDES AND MINERAL FERTILIZERS used to increase agricultural productivity poison soil and water, leading to soil erosion.

Freshwater consumption and irrigated areas have doubled over the past 50 years, driven by population growth. UN: By 2030, 47% of the world’s population will be living at risk of water shortages. Up to 80 percent of diseases in developing countries, which kill nearly 3 million people annually, are related to poor water quality. WHO experts: the expansion of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, growth hormones, food additives, and antibiotics in agriculture (livestock farming and the meat industry) has led to a sharp increase in allergic diseases, which already affect 30 percent of the world’s population and are the cause of cancer and many other diseases. To feed a growing population by 2050, global production will need to increase by 60%.

**** EXTINCTION OF BIOLOGICAL SPECIES. Since the 17th century, human economic activity has been the main accelerating factor. During this period, 120 amphibian species, 94 bird species, and 63 mammal species have disappeared. THE MAIN REASON for animal extinction and suffering is the growth of the human population of TERRORISTS, who have taken the Living Earth hostage and are exterminating all life… Since 1600, 844 plant and animal species have disappeared.

33,500 plant species are threatened with extinction, and two-thirds of the 9,600 bird species on Earth are experiencing population decline. Eleven percent of all bird and mammal species are threatened with extinction, and another 14% are on the verge of extinction. Thirty percent of the 24,000 fish species are also threatened with extinction. Scientists at Duke University in the US believe that HUMAN ACTIVITIES are accelerating the rate of species extinction by 1,000 times. The increasing demand for agricultural land has already led to the destruction of 60-80% of forests. The annual decline in forest area since 2005 has reached 13 million hectares per year.

**** Industrialization and urbanization have changed the diet, increasing the consumption of livestock products. This phenomenon has been called the “meat revolution.” Livestock farming has become the dominant sector of agriculture… The global food crisis is exacerbated by the fact that crop production is used not for human consumption but for animal feed; this significantly reduces the efficiency of its use. In the current catastrophic conditions, VEGANISM is the moral duty of every person; the “meat revolution” must be suppressed by a VEGAN REVOLUTION. This way, we will save the Living Earth for posterity, spare billions of innocent creatures from suffering, and be able to feed all people.

**** CONSUMER TERRORISM! David Saettatveit of the London International Institute for Environment and Development argues that the problem is not so much the number of people, but the scale and nature of their consumption. Swiss sociologist Klaus Leisinger shares this opinion. He says that if everyone lived like the Brazilian Indians who inhabit the Amazon rainforest, the planet could support 20 to 30 billion people. But if everyone consumes resources at the rate of US citizens, the end is near. American oligarch Ted Turner, himself a billionaire, expressed his disgust at the richest Americans: “The Forbes list of America’s richest people is destroying our country!…” It’s not the country! It’s the entire Living Earth that’s being destroyed by the world’s few thousand billionaires. They, who have taken what belongs to everyone, are the main terrorists. 1 percent of the Earth’s population owns the same wealth as the rest of humanity… 15 oligarch-states own 84% of all the Earth’s wealth. At the head of these 15 is the United States, the leading oligarch-terrorist; the main killer of the Living Earth, along with China. President Trump, who denies the very fact of global warming, is the face of true terrorism – state terrorism.

**** Some say that the Earth would be more humane without people. Yes, without the likes of Trump, Putin, …, without the millions of their accomplices in the form of “good” citizens who sell their will and conscience to villains for 30 pieces of silver – without them, the Earth would truly be more humane. It must be acknowledged: the quantity of biomass stubbornly refuses to translate into quality. The more bipedal animals there are, the less Justice there is in the world and the greater the suffering for other species. The saying “reproducing like rabbits” has long been outdated, because rabbits couldn’t even dream of the number of humans that have multiplied.

The Earth’s misfortune is that the most dangerous predator, the most merciless and bloodthirsty beast, has proliferated, legalizing murder for vanity and pleasure… And rabbits—those beautiful animals that kill no one, don’t torture anyone—were declared enemies of humanity in Australia, to be mercilessly exterminated by any means necessary. What did these unfortunate animals do to deserve this hell that these two-legged beasts inflicted on them? Money! The rabbits were preventing Australian farmers from getting rich. They were eating the grass, which, it turned out, was grown solely to feed the ever-increasing herd of equally unfortunate sheep. Australia is the world’s leading producer and exporter of sheep wool and meat. The profiteers care no more about the suffering of sheep than about the suffering of rabbits. Increasing the bank account is the motive and goal of all the actions of the false man of the System. When all methods of killing rabbits had been tried and failed to produce the desired result—complete extermination—the minds of scientific maniacs developed a biological weapon. Rabbits were inoculated with the myxoma virus; the animals infected their fellow rabbits and died in terrible agony. A rabbit infected with myxoplasmosis developed tumors and suffered for a long time before dying. This species terrorism-genocide was carried out in the 1950s. More than 600 million animals died in agony. Rabbits and sheep (they freeze terribly, suffering from the cold when their wool is sheared)—these are just two of the more than one and a half million species in the animal kingdom that the human species alone has TAKEN HOSTAGE and mercilessly exterminated to satiate its ever-growing population with meat and dollars. 600 million rabbits – that’s nothing compared to EIGHT BILLION of the Earth’s main animal, MAIN PEST AND PARASITE. Eight billion! Why are you here?! If most of you aren’t even trying You want to make this world a better place, but you’re doing everything you can to make it worse.

TERRORIST OCCUPERS OF THE LIVING EARTH, why are you here?! To breed irresponsibly and senselessly?! To breed hired killers and cannon fodder for the State?! To breed crazed, insatiable consumers for the Capitalist System?! To breed creatures who know no compassion for other animals. What are you proud of?! That through lies and self-deception you’ve elevated your animalistic reproductive instinct to the pedestal of spirituality and called it “love.” “DON’T DECEIVE YOURSELF!” I asked you in my video message on Anti-System Day. Don’t deceive yourself! Because true spirituality is DO NOT KILL, extended to all earthlings capable of suffering. Because true Love is not the satisfaction of animal instincts, but All-Encompassing Love-Compassion for all Living Things, Love-Justice for the Living Earth.

**** Those who see the meaning of their lives in procreating and “raising” children (and this is the majority), without realizing it (consciousness is not their element), run away from responsibility for their lives, from realizing their true meaning, shifting everything onto their children, saying that they will more worthily fulfill their calling as human beings. And the children—copies of their parents—grow up and act the same way—unwilling, unable, afraid to be fully human, and pass on the responsibility. Responsibility for the entire Living Earth, for the triumph of equality for ALL EARTHLINGS. Enough!! procreating and raising false people. Enough! unconscious and irresponsible puppets of the System. The Earth can no longer bear this; it is tired of our madness and brutality.

I am ready to be the first to withdraw, ready to be the first to fertilize the Earth, if I know that my example will be followed by all those hundreds of millions of cogs and gears of the global System that is killing the Living Earth, killing our humanity. Politicians, governments, billionaires, the military, intelligence agencies, police, judges, prosecutors, prison guards, clergy, inventors, weapons manufacturers, merchants of suffering and death, all who believe that meat is not murder, all who have turned the Earth into a military barracks, a weapons factory and warehouse, a supermarket of insane consumers, a hell for animals, endless hatred, war, and preparation for it; all who are turning the Earth into a place where the triumph of Humanity is impossible – DO NOT BREED YOURSELF. Enough!

**** Some say that without people, the Earth would be more humane… I will not agree with this; I have no right to. For billions of years of evolution, the Earth was pregnant with man. She needed someone who would fulfill her Purpose – Love. It will be realized through Justice, Compassion, and Reverence for Life in all its manifestations. The Living Earth needed a being who could appreciate all its labors, all the grandeur, beauty, and wisdom of Nature, which it had created for so long… People, for the most part, failed to live up to the hopes of their Mother Earth, forgetting their calling, their human mission—to give Life true meaning. People proliferated and became brutal; instead of praying, “The Living Earth is above all!” they began to pray to Mammon and glorify the name of their villainous kingdoms… The newly born being refused to be human; in its greed and malice, it began to kill Mother Earth, exterminating its lesser brothers… Everything is very bad!

But I have no right to agree that the Earth would be more humane without people. Hundreds, thousands of destinies of Real People who were and are do not give me the right to lose faith in humanity. People who, against all odds, tried to justify the Mother’s hope and fulfill the Meaning of her entire Life. These destinies inspire the fight for Justice, that is, for equality for ALL EARTHLINGS. Humanity is active Compassion for all Living Things, that is, extending the Thou Shalt Not Kill to all that is capable of suffering, whose suffering is obvious.

To be human means to be an enemy of the global System that has legitimized the murder of the Living Earth and Humanity. Viva Anti-System! Watch the film “Earthlings”: free the hostages!
