I told them that I had seen that potential with my own eyes on my five weeks long Africa-tour of exploration.



      "Then, there is China," I said. "China has 25% of the world's people, but it has only 18% of the world's arable land. Still it supports itself and supplies food aid to other countries. In spite of all that, China's real potential is vastly greater than that. With its presently planned water diversion projects, China has the potential to transform the vast dry regions in the north of the country into a modern Garden of Eden. This covers an area greater than the size of Germany, without even including the Gobi dessert. Nor is this the only development potential that exists in the world. There are enough resources available elsewhere in the world to triple the world's food supply, and to go far beyond that.

      "Ultimately, we are not even dependent on the present methods of primitive outdoor agriculture. Much more can be achieved in indoor facilities that can be stacked up fifty stories high. The resources exist to do this. In other words, the world's food production potential is virtually infinite. Equally infinite are the world's material and energy resources that are required to develop our world to such an advanced level. Modern technologies in nuclear fission can give us access to an energy resource with supplies that won't be exhausted during the expected life span of our planet, estimated to be a few billion years in duration. Nor does this include those vastly greater energy resources that we will have if we begin to harvest the energy of nuclear fusion. As for materials for building infrastructures and industries, these exist in a near infinite quantity, too. The entire planet is made up to a large degree of metals that are locked up in the silicates of rocks. The technology for breaking the molecular bond, to reclaim the metals, is only a developmental step away.

      "And what about the world's living spaces? Is the world really getting too full in terms of its space for living? The answer is a resounding, no! A recent study shows that the entire population of the planet could be comfortably housed in the lower half of the state of Texas. Therefore one must ask the question again, why are the royals of the world harping this tune that the world is over-populated, and that humanity must be murdered back to a smaller size?

      "The answer is actually quite simple," I said. I took a zip of water. There was a pitcher and glasses provided on the podium. "The answer is that there is no room for a feudal empire in a rapidly developing world. Feudalism and development cannot coexist. For this reason, the royals of this world are committed to fight the process of human development with all means at their disposal. Right now, China is their worst enemy, and this not only because of this nation's development potential, but also because this nation has commitment itself to realize its potential. This is a commitment that can inspire all the nations of the world to do the same. For this reason China is being set up for annihilation by a nuclear war, and Russia is set up to be drawn into a conflict with the USA in order that both may unleash the fire in which China, Russia, and the USA can be eradicated.

      "In very real terms, mankind is in a life and death showdown that it cannot win unless it tears up the 'royal' agenda and takes control over its existence.

      "We have no choice but to create a human agenda, an agenda that is based on a commitment to each other, to enrich each other's life, to aid one-another's development, to respect one-another's autonomy. Unless this agenda is implemented, there won't be any life left on this planet except a type of life that exists in absolute poverty and in an environment of perpetual fear. This is what the royal agenda has in store for humanity. Indeed, this is what we see already being played out in Africa, to some degree, which has been the royals' playground for a long, long time. They are raping this continent. Their vast mining cartels simply take what they want, and if governments stand in their way, they bring in their mercenary armies and eradicate those governments; and if populations stand in the way of their commercial plans, they create a pretext to eradicate those populations in the same manner. Millions of people have been murdered in these processes, and many more millions will still be slaughtered if the process isn't halted.
