Excellent work. I'd like to add another piece to this puzzle.

After Deng Xiaoping took over the government of China in the late seventies one of the first things that he did was to sent Chinese scientists to every part of the western world, in order for China to catch up with the rest of the world. One of those scientists ended up in my neck of the woods at the academic doorsteps of what is now the University of Twente.

Everybody was quite surprised to see this Chinese visitor and as neither could speak each others language the communication was problematic. A graduate student was given the task to host the unexpected guest as nobody really knew what to do with him.

That graduate student happened to be working on a rather basic computer model of population growth and he showed his Chinese guest what the predictions were for China. Unbeknownst to him in doing so he scared the living daylight of his guest who took this worst case scenario from the University of Twente back to China with a sense of urgency. That flawed model quickly made its way up the Chinese bureaucracy.

So this change encounter and severe miscommunication became one of the main drivers for China to impose the draconian one-child -policy.

A few years ago the two protagonist met again in the Netherlands and briefly discussed their fateful encounter in my local media. They pretty much acknowledged that they were wrong all those years ago.

Very interesting. I think they've gotten a lot better at sifting through and finding the best of everything. I'd like for them, and humanity, to decide what's best free of imperialist influence!

Certainly bad ideas from idiots (but highly qualified ones at a university!) with computers... but also this implementation could only happen in a totalitarian regime where policy criticism is death.

Starvation was a true problem for China at the time though as their ridiculous Lysenkoist style policies about food production were causing famines. So unfortunately the backdrop and conditions for alarm were understandable if not tragic.

+1 for Julian Simon. That guy was the boss!

Contemporary Chinese scientists acknowledge the contributions Lysenko made to science... I think the issue was more a lack of development and access to meaningful outside capital. Instituting population control policies was the quickest way to unlock the capital. With modern advancements they have a food surplus and use their arable land very productively.

I wasn't trying to say that they were using the Lysenko methods, but Mao had many of his own crazy ideas like killing all the sparrows that didn't go so well... To your point they were very closed off to the world before the 70s, so they didn't get the modern agriculture benefits until much later and their development was very slow as a result.

Even today, China is a MASSIVE food importer and to my knowledge they are basically not able to grow enough for themselves on the land they have. A lot of that is just the geography that they were endowed with and the huge amount of industrial inputs that farming there requires (which makes it a lot more expensive). So some is probably just economic effects of getting richer, but it is hard to recover from an import dependency like that in a short timeframe which adds to their feelings of insecurity.

The Wine Well:

The temple named after Lady Wang is in a nook of the Ho-Fu Hills, which stand some ten miles to the west of my own county. When she lived is no longer known, but the elders passed down the following story.

The old woman made her living brewing wine. Once when a Taoist priest stayed at her home, she served him freely—giving him as much to drink as he asked for. Eventually he drank several hundred jars without paying, but the woman never mentioned it.

Then one day the priest said to the woman, “I have been drinking your wine without having the money to pay you, but allow me, if you will, to dig a well for you.” He set to and constructed the well, and a stream of the purist wine gushed forth. “This is to repay you,” said the priest. And he went his way.

After Lady Wang no longer brewed her wine; she simply took what flowed from the well to satisfy her customers. And since it was far finer than her previous brews, customers came in droves. Within three years she earned tens of thousands of coppers, and her household became wealthy.

Unexpectedly the Taoist priest returned. The old woman thanked him profoundly. “Was the wine satisfactory?”asked the priest. “Good enough.” replied the woman, “but it left me no dregs to feed my pigs.” The priest smiled and wrote these lines on the wall:

The heavens may be great,

But the greater is man’s greed.

He made the well, she sold the wine,

But said, “No dregs for feed.”

Then he left, and the Well ran dry…

—Chiang Ying-k’e.

Gold, Gold…

Many, many years ago there was a man of the Land of Ch’i who had a great passion for Gold. One day at the crack of dawn he went to the market—straight to the gold dealer’s stalls, where he snatched some Gold and ran….The market guards soon caught him. “With so many people around, how did you expect to get away with it?” a guard asked.

“When I took it, he replied, “I saw only the Gold, not the people.”

—Lieh Tzu.

I would go further: the Bilderberg Group (Luciferians) did much more than pressure China to limit population growth. The U.S. government possessed and deployed weather modification to starve millions of Chinese.

Wilhelm Reich re-purposed Tesla's free-energy device and Brookhaven Labs released thousands of "radiosondes." Purportedly, these weather balloons were simply transmittling data; however, Preston Nichols was unable to locate a single receiver on the ground.

Furthermore, George H.W. Bush, the leader of Project Omega, was stationed in China from Oct. 1974 to Nov. 1975. This was around the time that Mao Zedong began to accuse Deng Xiaoping of being a “capitalist-roader.” Following Mao’s death, Deng became the maximum leader of the PRC, in December 1978. Under his leadership, the Communist Party of China was transformed into a subsidiary of the global capitalist class, and China became a capitalist state.

From studying Bush's expertise in MK-Ultra programming of children, and the supernatural control he had over every head of state in the world since Kennedy's assassination, it's pretty clear that Deng was also mind-controlled by the Bilderbergers (the Luciferian Brotherhood).
