“We have nothing to fear with Barack Obama in the White House”

[SpaceBar]

As unpopular Michael Savage is to some, he made a prediction early in the bam years that we’d enter a “Doctor Zhivago” stage where you fill in a questionnaire as to your home square footage, number of rooms, unused areas etc, and they’d be “reassigned” as living quarters for the indigent. I think we’re going there fast.

Surprised it's not mentioned in the article but this is the continuing implementation of Agenda 21.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Just part of the UN’s Agenda 21. Once the majority of the population is urbanized, they will have total control at their fingertips: water, food, electric, utilities, security, etc. Peasants get rowdy and the electric or water goes of for a couple of days. I think the movie “Soylent Green” paints a good representative picture of what life will be like.

Stealth implementation of Agenda 21. I’m surprised this article didn’t mention it.

[Carry_Okie]

This isn’t Obama’s initiative; this is Agenda 21, which has been in the works since 1992.

Fundamental transformation

Nobody in the press bothered to ask just what the hell that meant.

In Russia several families would share an apartment.

Obama is a urban community organizer, in order to
“transform” the nation the only way he knows how
is to turn it all into innercity ghettos.

“We have nothing to fear with but Barack Obama in the White House”

That sounds a bit more accurate to me.

[Vince Ferrer]

Soylent Green was a movie that took overpopulation and "Limits to Growth" hysteria seriously, and tried to "show" us what life would be like in an overpopulated future.

However, this is not happening. Obama is crowding people into mega cities at a time when the global birthrate is collapsing, when Mexican immigration is nearly halted, our own birthrate has fallen below replacement level, and we have more land set aside for wildlife than ever before.

This is why I am becoming a fan of John B. Calhoun, whose experiments in population density can explain a lot of our current problems in society, because there aren't a lot of rational reasons for all this.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Agree, but I don’t think Obie’s new BFF Johnny Mac would.

As unpopular Michael Savage is to some, he made a prediction early in the bam years that we’d enter a “Doctor Zhivago” stage where you fill in a questionnaire as to your home square footage, number of rooms, unused areas etc, and they’d be “reassigned” as living quarters for the indigent. I think we’re going there fast.

The Census Bureau is pushing an "American Community Survey" right now, which I believe is sniffing around that very topic.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development needs the ax. FReepmail me if you want off my relatively rare, outrageous jaw dropping list, or if you want to volunteer to keep a state list that's vacant.

The Chicagoization and Detroitification of America continue “Forward! full speed backward.

GA ping. This is an important article. The Atlanta Regional Commission is one of the unelected governmental groups the pols are using to foist this nonsense off on us.

FUBO is so easy to say, yet so fitting.

Workers of the world, unite! Throw off your communist oppressors!

Obama is crowding people into mega cities at a time when the global birthrate is collapsing,

I meant to say Soylent Green will reflect the probable conditions of the peasants (us) in the mega cities. Won’t make any difference of the cause of the high density only the results of the high density living. A note, NYC is planning to approve the construction of 700,000 325 sq ft apartments for the modern urban resident. These have no full kitchens and residents are expected to eat most of their meals out. Think about it if they force people out of the rural and suburban areas into cities with millions of these type residences.
