"Tip of the iceberg"

This article explains exactly what the Sovereign Individual predicted.

Granted, it is a small start.  But with the IRS swelling it ranks and the need for tax revenue getting greater and greater, it will only increase.  The federal government itself is "underwater,"  owing more than it is worth.  And, like Florida home owners, some citizens are choosing to walk away rather than keep dumping money down this hole.

Great article on a important topic

"For the the world is changing. I feel it in the water, I feel in the earth, and I smell it in the air." --Treebeard


...I read it in news.

If it was just one country, it would solve itself.  But it involves many countries.  Two of which (China and India) contain one third of the human population.

If it was something the free market or government could fix, it wouldn't be worth noting.  But it takes years to make a woman, and I doubt there are any peaceful solutions to this.

If this country didn't hold a large share of our debt, it wouldn't be our problem.

Gendercide: China's shameful massacre of unborn girls means there will soon be 30m more men than women

This is the best article I have read on the topic in some time.  It is current and chronicles the beginning rumblings of the coming storm.  Now the estimates are 30 million more males than females (up from 20).

"The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he frustrates the plans of the peoples."  Psalm 33:10

This "common sense" solution to the imaginary problem of overpopulation is causing an unprecedented consequence.  The Dominion Mandate is so simple and should be applied and considered personally.  This is a great example of governments/experts applying their clumsy top-down solutions.  China was never overpopulated.  In a system where the government supplies all services, it is limited in the number people it can service due to its inefficacy.

This "amazing breach" must have an amazing story:

Pan Ding De actually has six children, an amazing breach of the rules which he has got away with by living 'off the grid' and constantly moving from one city to another: a ruse used by many who want traditional big families.

Flash Mobs in Philly

Read the story here

This seems to be what The Sovereign individual is talking about.  This quote hits the nail on the head.

Merchants, parents and police are scratching their heads trying to explain the explosion of violent flash mobs. The city's new district attorney, Seth Williams, says it comes down to the proliferation of computers and cell phones.

"Before, it was just you tell someone to meet you somewhere — if there was a fight you meet them at the school yard," Williams says. "Well now, instead of just 10 or 20 kids at most knowing about something, now you have 1,000 kids showing up at an intersection. And that's a problem that we as law enforcement have to try to deal with."
Computer/microprocessors  increase the capability of individuals, making it more difficult, that is expensive, for government to maintain control. "Police have created a special rapid response force." which they didn't need before.

I do love Mayor Nutter's comment
"Parents have a responsibility here, so we will do all that we can. I ran for mayor, I didn't run for mother," he announced. "I can't take care of everybody's child."
 If you provide education, food, and housing; you are acting like a parent.  Why not leave discipline to you as well?
