Immigration-Caused Coming Mega Traumas

Most Americans have watched with indolent interest at the Somalia meltdown of starvation, misery and hopelessness. What I find ironic is the projections that Africa's 1.1billion population will grow to 3.1 billion within the next 90 years according to U.N. population projections. In other words, their mega-starvation-traumas will only become more epic in this century.     I slap my jaw in distress realizing our nation's president and Congress carry on their inane activities without a clue or action toward a viable future. A few visionaries like Dr. Albert Bartlett, former Colorado Governor Richard Lamm, Dr. John Tanton, Roy Beck, Barbara Coe, Dr. Diana Hull, Lester Brown and a growing army of Americans do understand, however, the power elites drag their feet. Most Americans follow the president and Congress into our growing immigration mega-trauma.     What mentality defines unending immigration and wars as progress?     Short answer: economists, politicians and fools!     To support that, Covert Bailey said, "The brain is entirely made of fat. Without the brain, you might look good, but all you could do is run for public office!"     Author Joseph Tainter, The Collapse of Complex Societies, demonstrates that collapse is a frequent, if not universal, fate of multi-faceted societies. Collapse relates to declining returns on efforts to support growing levels of complexity with diminishing supplies of energy extracted from the planet.              Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed by Jared Diamond, illustrates how civilizations in the past failed because of resource constraints.     By 2050, at our accelerating rate of resource use and abuse, Jared Diamond's son or grandson might write a book titled: How the United States Flushed Itself Down the Toilet by Its Own Hand.     Additionally, author Richard Heiberg, Peak Everything: Waking Up To A Century of Declines, lists five axioms on sustainable or unsustainable civilizations: 1.     Joseph Tainter's Axiom: any society that continues to use critical resources unsustainably will collapse.     2.     Dr. Al Bartlett's Axiom: population growth and/or growth in the rates of consumption of resources cannot be sustained.     3.     To be sustainable, the use of renewable resources must proceed at a rate that is less than, or equal to the rate of natural replenishment.     4.     To be sustainable, the use of non-renewable resources must proceed at a rate that is declining, and the rate of decline must be greater than or equal to the rate of depletion.     5.     Sustainability requires that substances introduced into the environment from human activities be minimized and rendered harmless to biosphere functions. Do any U.S. leaders present anything resembling solutions to these factors to maintain a sustainable American future? The obvious answer: no! We burn 20 million barrels of oil in the USA with an additional 64 million barrels worldwide per day. We continue consumption rates beyond our finite resource base. We inject 80,000 chemicals into the air, water and land daily along with endless plastics tossed into our oceans.     Where do our actions lead?
