A potential new way of preserving ovarian function during chemotherapy for cancer could be treatment with an antagonist of gonadotropin-releasing hormone: GnRH. A pilot study from Melbourne looked at 18 young women with cancer or auto immune disease due to receive cyclophosphamide therapy. Sarah Maxwell spoke with Kate Stern and heard more about the study.

    2. GLOBAL ALLIANCE AGAINST IGNORANCE

      THE GLOBAL REALITIES THAT WERE PREDICTED

      The so-called Economic Crisis

      When Brazil’s President Lula says the solution is to grow more food – instead of reducing population through free contraception, safe abortion on request and a global one child or voluntary no child policy per couple - he must be aware that this means wiping out ever more natural habitat and biodiversity in what’s left of the Amazonas Rainforest.

      Most countries don’t have this dilemma:

      they have already wiped out all their natural habitat and biodiversity and yet 75% of all such countries remain

      food import dependent. These are the countries run by charlatans who continue to pretend that you can eat money.

      Low interest rates have not only helped the racketeers grow and expand their planet destructive debt financed mass-production/software/service rackets that have oversaturated the global markets but they have also discouraged saving and denied the small savers a rightful return on their savings instead effectively forcing them to spend their money before inflation makes it worthless to sustain “economic growth” which in reality is nothing other than inflation: this constitutes the triple whammy of low interest rates: feeding ever more debt and mass-consumption that are the underlying cause of global wastelaying, pollution, natural habitat destruction and biodiversity extermination that in turn cause global warming and climate change that ultimately will destroy the global economy for all because nobody can eat money.

      A RACKET IS A BUSINESS, INSTITUTION, ORGANISATION, COUNTRY THAT IS BASED ON GROWTH AND DEBT.

      A Racketeer is a person who operates a debt based racket that can only survive on growth.

      With some 1000 trillion in derivative trades floating about nobody knows who will fold next;

      that’s why the racketeers must not only collude with each other but they also must grow themselves and markets to inflate their assets above debt levels. It’s the fundamentals of systemic planet destruction, global warming and climate change. The political, educational, institutional, bureaucratic charlatans that feed off the racketeers like leeches continue to serve them like lapdogs.

      After over-saturating the markets with surplus construction, hardware, software and services growth that is financed with ever more low interest debt and everybody is drowning in the surplus rubbish they have purchased so that even the most cunning political/marketing/advertising tricks/slogans cannot deceive the shopping zombies to take on more debt to buy more of the same: that’s when they call it Economic Crisis….

      Everything has been corrupted to serve so-called economic growth; even sport is now controlled by the sponsors who decide who wins according to sales growth prospects etc. and to keep the morons paying to watch…..but the ultimate loser is the environment that pays with its life as the planet is turned into an infernal polluted traffic-laden desert of concrete/steel/glass/tarmac/plastic buried in chemicals.

      The glossy wildlife/biodiversity/natural environment programmes do not tell you that the 6750 million humans have invaded and occupied more than 95% of global land space so that less than 5% remains as natural habitat for the other 2 million + species with whom humans are supposed to share the planet within a globally mutually interdependent eco-life-support system.

      Those who believe in God may ask themselves:

      were fellow species created to give humans an opportunity to murder/exterminate them?

      Nor can it be accepted as an evolutionary darwinian process that one mammal wipes out all other life on the planet simply because it has the ability to design and manufacture weapons.

      We know from plaques of pests what happens when one species overproliferates;

      the consequences are always self-destructive.

      THE REAL INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC CRISIS HAS BEEN HERE SINCE 1950 and

      has accelerated under the socio-economic-environmental-religious-institutional-educational-political ignorance/collusion/corruption SINCE 1950 when out of the then total world population of 2400 humans some 1200 million were subsisting on the poverty/hunger level while today out of 6700 million humans more than 3600 million subsist on less than 2 USD a day.

      The “development” racketeers - operating on behalf of the global vested interests that need ever greater sales growth to survive their Babylonian debt mountains - sustain this madness whereby overpopulation of more humans is financed through the creation of artificial employment that lifts ever more people out of the 2 dollars a day poverty trap while an even larger number are born to replace them.

      Like the global construction insanity nobody works out the consequences because “growth” in everything is considered beneficial. For every million humans that are put into paid employment more than 10,000 million dollars in additional planet destruction takes place.

      Paradoxically the world’s billionaires worth more than 1000 million USD each have increased from 140 in 1986 to more than 1125 today with a gross wealth of more than 4,4 trillion USD.

      That means that 1125 humans have more assets than the GDP of Japan with some 160 million humans, of Germany with some 80 million humans, of China with some 1350 million humans, and more than 4 times the GDP of India with some 1300 million humans.

      Even more grotesque the world’s millionaires have mushroomed to 10 million 100 thousand and their cash assets without including their properties and real estate represent a gross wealth of some 41 trillion USD. That’s about 3 times the GDP of the 300 million humans of the USA, and more than 3 times the GDP of the 3000 million humans in Asia, and some 80% of the entire world GDP of 6700 million humans.

      These massive fortunes could only be amassed by the phenomenal population growth since 1950 that has seen the world’s biggest unprecedented growth in low interest debt financed mass-production and mass-consumption quantum that is now destroying the planet through its fallout of

      global warming and climate change.

      The world’s millionaires made their fortunes from natural resources and low interest debt financed manufacturing/construction and selling rackets that they always continued to grow beyond the purchasing power of the global shopping zombies to create a global debt ballooning effect as everything became debt financed. This madness fuelled the staggering inflation so that 1 million USD in 1900 would today constitute more than 650 million USD in equivalent value. This caused the financial institutions to debt finance ever more expansion regardless of reality as the artificially inflated asset values made the debt levels an ever smaller percentage of so-called equity. Bankruptcies were avoided through derivatives, stock manipulation and unlimited growth of activities regardless of real need as demand could be created through the equally unlimited consumer debt bubble.

      Some of the most criminalised organisations in the world call this local, national and international iniquity GLOBAL WEALTH MANAGEMENT; i.e. helping the rich get richer by criminally inflating asset values. They are assisted in this by a law profession that comprises ever more unscrupulous fee-makers who specialise in pushing the rights of criminals for the simple reason that this is where the money is to pay the inflated fee bills.

      Who wants to defend impoverished victims when their money has gone to the racketeers/criminals who can pay for lavish manipulation of the law. The biggest victim of all is the global environment, the natural habitat and biodiversity that are being wiped out by this kind of corrupt Wealth Management.

      The Real Wealth of the Planet was its integrated Eco-system consisting of the unpolluted Natural Habitat/Forests and Biodiversity that the racketeers have wiped out in exchange for money in a global Olympics of power-crazed megalomania that has corrupted the human species.

      To solve this so-called Economic Crisis they simply want to start it all over again by retiring more old debt with ever more new debt and by financing the breeding of ever more shopping zombies to soak up the surplus goods and services

      and they will not stop until total global ecosystem collapse unless they are made to do so

      by leadership that is not based on corruption and complicity.

      It’s a self-destructive genetic fault line sustained by more than 2000 year’s of dishonesty, greed and avarice that humans call progress and development that causes them to expand their rapacious planet destruction activities whereby the Natural Environment and Biodiversity are wiped out in exchange for money so that ultimately every human could be a millionaire

      in a desert where any amount of money will not buy water or food;

      (which based on the last 60 years of inflation/global warming/climate change is not so far away)

      The future of finite resources such as oil – as global consumption rises and the finite reserves of oil deposits decline means the price must of necessity go up. All the infantile measures coughed up by the political charlatans and their institutional lapdogs to “conserve/reduce/substitute” oil consumption over the last 50 years have ended in predictable failure based on the fact that global overpopulation has more than tripled from some 2,000 million to more than 6,750 million humans today – all of which harbour the most intensive desire - as witnessed by the daily marketing/advertising bombardment - for ever more motor vehicles.

      Petrol guzzling motor vehicle sales have increased by more than 1000% in the last 50 years.

      In the macho countries where “man-made” products are still revered as “progress” and Nature/Biodiversity is considered evil and must be tortured, hacked down, killed or stunted, pedestrians and cyclists must run the gauntlet of crazed motorists and motorcycles on the few and badly maintained pavements while the majority of pedestrian crossings are invisible because they have not been repainted for decades in a symptom of total disrespect for anything that is not mechanical, artificial or motorised.

      When a fully developed India, China and Africa have the same number of motor vehicles per capita as the United States – today’s petrol prices are likely to seem dirt cheap.

      Some “know it all” experts advocate increasing oil production to bring down the price:

      It’s the double whammy solution that will increase oil consumption and deplete deposits even faster with the commensurate result that prices will rise even higher.

      The lunatic cheap price of petrol during the last decades has had the appropriate effect:

      A plethora of oversized petrol guzzling SUVs; excessive horsepower cars that can exceed the legal speed limit by more than 100% and the so-called cheap budget airlines herding

      the bored/boring shopping zombies from one country’s overcrowded polluted/pollutingbeaches/stadiums/shopping malls to another.

      The food price escalation was predicted decades ago commensurate with existing overpopulation, population growth and rising consumption - infrastructure, housing, tourism, biofuels and soya beans to feed the growing livestock that gobble up ever more land and cause the shortages that drive prices higher. Having already systemically poisoned the global air, water, soil and foodchain with chemicals, pesticides, algicides, insecticides, fungicides, growth hormones and artificial fertilisers in such massive quantities that are now giving negative returns quite apart from spreading sickness and cancer amongst the humans who must eat all this poisoned food – demand continues to outstrip supply. The latest technique that is supposed to sustain human overpopulation ad infinitum is genetically modified crops that will come to haunt the planet’s eco-bio-system and what remains of photosynthesis on which all life depends.

      Despite millions of so-called aid organisations/charities/philanthropists that collect billions that were made from planet destruction in the first place:

      millions of humans/children go hungry every day because you cannot eat money.

      The global food shortage that drives prices higher has been here for centuries and was predicted by Malthus as feeding the ever rising overpopulation always has and continues to exceed the contemporary capacity to grow food. In 1971 with about half today’s overpopulation some 12,000 humans/children died every day from malnutrition. Today this staggering death toll has risen to more than 50,000 every day. One must assume that the political/religious/institutional charlatans that promote/condone ongoing overpopulation accept this calamity as the usual collateral damage that must be accepted to sustain “economic growth” which in fact is nothing other than inflation fuelled by low interest rates that cause the problems in the first place as ever more cheap debt is taken on by the racketeers to fuel their global empires that flood the markets with ever more cheap’n’nasty, plastic, artificial fibre, throw away rubbish products and services that must be consumed by ever more shopping zombies at the expense of the natural habitat/forests/biodiversity and agricultural land that are part of the global ecological interdependence that is now at risk from global warming and climate change.

      So it is not surprising when some “Chief Economist” of Goldman Sachs “predicts” that Russia will fail to become the world’s 5th largest economy because it has negative population growth. “You need a growing population to grow an economy” he wisecracks.

      These kind of brainless fools are all talking the same incoherent absurdities that are lapped up by the media desperate for more readers:

      For a nation bracing to support 79 million Baby Boomers in their old age, the growing and younger population of Hispanics should be viewed as economic salvation, says Dowell Myers, demographer at the University of Southern California and author of Immigrants and Boomers: Forging a New Social Contract for the Future of America.

      “Children are always a fiscal burden, yet children are also the lifeblood of every community,” he says. “What’s killing Japan and threatening the economic future of Europe is that they don’t have enough kids, and that’s what’s depriving these rural areas in America.

      They do not have the intelligence to understand that ever more children means ever more old people/victims in a self-destructive spiral of planet destruction. What’s killing Japan is overpopulation as it must import ever more finite natural resources while its main protein intake: the sea is poisoned from pollution and overfishing etc. while its manufacturing model is under ever more severe competition from China and India as is that of the other industrialised nations.

      Russia can be relaxed because it has an abundance of natural resources that it can export to a growing world market. The reality for Russia is that the smaller its population the greater the benefits for its citizens.

      While its rivals must indeed breed ever greater numbers of population/shopping zombies to divide their rising per capita debt levels amongst ever more heads and make the overall debt quantum seem less than it is;

      And thereby push up planet destructive mass-consumption/so-called economic growth and thereby diminish the possibility of state bankruptcy aided additionally by the simple expedient of printing ever more money.

      It’s the global fools/debt/inflation economy that has been the root cause of planet destruction since the 2nd world war.

      Nobody is surprised when economists talk nonsense they have been doing this ever since they invented the concept. Just look at the subprime crisis when so-called Bankers - on the advice of their economic experts - threw billions at dubious mortgages on the simple arithmetic that brick and mortar can only go up.

      Nobody ever worked out whether the massive global construction insanity - that has wiped out more natural habitat/forests/farmland and biodiversity than any other human activity - could be sustained ad infinitum particularly as the numbers of condos, bunker apartments, tourist slums and mass housing estates exceeded local demand in ever greater percentages.

      The mad concept “buy to let” was invented whereby ordinary folk were induced to buy numerous properties - on loans that were doled out indiscriminately on the back of ever cheaper interest rates - to let them out.

      “You don’t need any capital to become a property millionaire” said the propaganda.

      Nobody mentioned anything about the possibility that if this was a valid investment concept why would anybody be so stupid as to rent a property. It led to a global over-construction boom that will take decades to straighten out. Most of the mass construction is of such shoddy quality with built in obsolescence - like everything that is manufactured today - to force the shopping zombies to come back for endless costly repairs, servicing and accessories.

      The moronic advertising that is served up on Television and the Internet for ever greater consumption of totally unnecessary products and services is proof of the infinite stupidity of the global shopping zombies herd who will buy anything to cover up their existential inanity. In some of the more cretinuous countries advertising time exceeds programme time if it’s not already mixed in.

      As global pollution levels rise in real terms commensurate with the annual increase in human population of more than 80 million a year and “development” fuels ever more mass-production and mass-consumption it is symptomatic that the charlatans talk about containment. They do so in the knowledge that when oil is finally depleted the whole “economic growth” madness will collapse of its own accord. What they don’t tell is the fact that the chemical fertilisers/pesticides that have quintupled harvests since Malthus will no longer be available causing global mass famine.

      The 2000 nuclear power stations required to sustain the “developed” economies of India and China will do nothing for the global food shortages other than likely cause massive radioactive poisoning from accidents, earthquakes, landslides and waste.

      Intertwined in all this are the global problems of unemployment, immigration/migration, war, violence, hooliganism, crime and the total eradication of ethics and governance as literally ever more impoverished, disaffected, deprived and exploited humans - that are kept ignorant - are enmeshed in the worldwide turmoil of scraping a living while the number of racketeers that amass vast fortunes is growing:

      The first “billion dollar home” has been built in India where 1,300 million exploited citizens are being converted into mass-consumption shopping zombies to feed the wealth of the few.

      There is not a single country in the world that has no unemployment. Everywhere there are more humans than jobs which is causing the global immigration/migration problems.

      Nobody who has a good job wants to emigrate.

      The massive and growing overpopulation of ever more countries - while jobs decline because you need ever less humans for automated mass-production and as selling becomes an internet activity ever less sales gumps are required - cause immigration and migration.

      The ever more stringent anti-immigration laws not only foster xenophobia, nationalism, racism, sexism, discrimination and exploitation but they also prove that the countries applying them are overpopulated to such an extent that they cannot survive on equal competition for jobs and social services. It exposes the farce of the so-called international community and similar dishonest slogans dished up by the political charlatans to corrupt the shopping zombies.

      The faschist style nationalism that is now exemplified by Europe, the USA etc. is turned into a farce when thousands of millions in aid are spent to sustain the poverty/hunger causing overpopulation policies of the countries that are now on the immigration blacklist.

      All wars are about resources. Until recently some of the more ignorant economists etc. referred to the planet destructive humans as a resource reminiscent of slavery. There will be ever more wars as finite resources decline and humans overpopulate: particularly as it is also a convenient political move to divert attention from socio-economic problems at home. Everywhere violence and crime is on the increase as overcrowded humans react to the growing iniquity, disparity and bad influence.

      The rising cost of business to finance the racketeers’ extreme lifestyles is reflected in ever more totalitarian absence of ethics and governance aided and abetted by the

      overproliferating crooked lawyers.

      Most global brands cannot be contacted other than through extended pre-recorded messages or insane Microsoft style “help” pages that turn even Professors into mindless clicking zombies while staff are trained on the lines of Auschwitz concentration camp guards that bellow at the already intimidated and totally powerless shopping zombies while the so-called institutions to protect citizens and consumers are housed in gigantic bunkers with herds of papershuffling – even rubber stamps have been brought back to give them something to do - bureaucrats financed with the taxes and kickbacks from the racketeers.

      The world’s leading racketeers have been asked by some “environmental consulting company” - slimy bootlickers for fees – about the environmental risk in South East Asia – the world’s most polluted, foodchain poisoned, overpopulated, natural habitat stripped and biodiversity extinct region – as reported on Businesswire: as if racketeers - who make all their money from planet destruction - would admit the environmental risk that originates from their very own activities. We have now reached a situation where criminals run=destroy the planet with their economic rackets and get publicity that defends their planet destruction criminality.

      In a final farce the world’s leading charlatans - also known as G8, United Nations, and over 70 million environmental organisations that have sprung up since 1950 on the overpopulation bandwagon and whose combined footprint exceeds the that of the total world population of 1950 - led by some Japanese eyeing the global export opportunities for his island at yet another “environmental summit” out of the 10,000 that they hold every year in flashy beach/mountain resorts have stated that to save the environment - 35,000 million dollars are needed. As every child knows money does not grow on trees – money is made from environmental destruction that causes pollution/natural habitat and forest destruction/biodiversity extermination and loss of farmland and photosynthesis and is causing global warming and climate change hence the 35 billion to save the planet will be its environmental death-knell.

      A global Initiative for Real Change: i.e. a quantum reduction and limits of all human activities to restore/balance the planet’s Eco-system/Natural Habitat/Bio-diversity/Life support system

      and thereby save the Planet for all Life and not just for humans in Association with
