Life Before Our Modern Era

By Rich Kozlovich 

Before I go into life (BME), before our modern era, let's first ponder this.  At the end of WWII the world's population was approximately two billion people, and it took thousands of years to get there.  In a little over seventy five years the world's population soared to over seven billion people.  Why?  Let's explore this.

We keep hearing from greenies, and now elitists such as those at the , who want us to abandon modern agriculture and eat bugs, and insist we all have to abandon all the things necessary to maintain a modern world. This "Climate Cult" want's the world to abandon our current systems for power generation and embrace "sustainable" energy, such as and solar.  Both of which, if left alone as the only sources for energy creation, would be an abject failure, returning the world to a far more primitive existence, and they have to know that's the end consequence of all these schemes.   The greenie return to nature meme is unending.   So, perhaps we should look at what a more primitive existence would be like.   

 SNEAK PEEK: Here’s What’s Inside the Two-Year ‘Controligarchs’ Investigation

In days gone by before pesticides flies were everywhere, mosquitoes were uncontrolled, uncontrollable, and lice infestations were vast!  All of which were disease spreaders on a massive scale.  Horses were the primary source of transportation, and guess what horses did regularly with total disregard for where they were.  They crapped, right down on the streets.  

Did you ever wonder why older cities had alleys?  That was so the honey dippers could come and clean out the toilets.  Until the 1880's there was was no sewer system for flush toilets, hence, there were no flush toilets, which was invented in the late 1500's but ignored for three hundred years.  There were no bathrooms as we know them.   Outhouses were everywhere, even communal outhouses, which is a shed built over a hole in the ground.  In the cities the toilet was attached to the back of the house accessible via the alley, with a container that could be cleaned out by operators of honey wagons.  

The honey wagon was originally a horse-drawn vehicle that went through back alleys to collect human excreta. Houses at that time did not have flush toilets or indeed any form of indoor sanitation beyond the chamberpot. In rural areas the outhouse (privy) is associated with a pit latrine of various sorts, but many towns and cities depended on some variant of the pail closet, which needed frequent emptying. At each outdoor toilet, the driver (honey dipper) would stop the wagon, flip up the back hatch door (trap-door) of the outhouse, slide out the pail (bucket), pick it up, and dump the contents into one of eight oak half-barrels in the wagon box. The half-barrels had no lids.

All of which was, by out standards, stunningly unsanitary, unhealthy, and drew all kinds of disease spreading vermin, and there was no toilet paper.  Because of these unsanitary conditions it was common for deadly diseases such as cholera to be spread.   While almost no one thinks about cholera in America today, in less developed areas of the world, it can be epidemic, even now.  

The greenies want the world to abandon the use of chlorine in our drinking water, but make no mistake, if we abandon using chlorine in our water America would suffer the same plague suffered by South Americans who bought into their lies regarding chlorine and cancer.   In James Marusek's article, The Dark Side of Deep Ecology he notes:

As Greenpeace's Joe Thornton explains, There are no uses of chlorine which we regard as safe. Yet chlorination -- considered one of the greatest advances ever in public health and hygiene -- is almost universally accepted as the method of choice for purifying water supplies. In the United States alone, 98 percent of public water systems are purified by chlorine or chlorine-based products. In 1991, an epidemic of cholera started in Peru and spread to the rest of Latin American. This epidemic reached the U.S. in 1992 via an outbreak among 75 commercial airline passengers from Peru. This epidemic is reported to have caused as many as 1 million cases of cholera and as many as 10,000 deaths.

• Dirty Water; Will the United States repeat Peru's chlorine folly?

James ends his article saying; 

Another dark aspect of this religious movement is it spawns religious fanatics, such as the Earth Liberation Front (ELF), that believe terrorism such as the destruction of property and threatening human lives, are justified in the name of their eco-religious beliefs. 

Why has the world's population soar over the last seventy five years?   Pesticides, modern chemistry including medicine, ample energy production, and advance agricultural techniques, including the use of GMO's, which these misfits demand we abandon.   Clearly, there can be only one conclusion as to the goal of all these insane policy decisions by elitists and environmentalists which can only be one thing. 

Population reduction and control.  

However, if someone thinks that's they way they should live their lives, I'm fine with that.  Let them move to areas where they can live their dream, but I'm betting they won't live all that long, I'm also betting they won't walk the talk because they keep living here.  So, if that's so, and it is, why should we accept the insane demands and standards they tout that can only be viewed as demonic misanthropy?
