Well Done Team Infowars

Just watched the Kean confrontation video and wanted to congratulate your team for an outstanding effort, from beginning to end. It was great to see your guy confront him with reasonable questions, and see the real Kean in all his glory (not).
The fast speed editing effect was very funny, and worked perfectly.
Bravo to each of the banner holders, for having the courage to take a rightous stand!
All in all, a very refreshing video that will light the way for other 9-11 truth seekers and media activists.

Congratulations to your activist and production team for the outstanding video effort.

Population Numbers

There's been discussion recently regarding Proffessor Pianka's desire to cull 90% of the world's population to save the natural world. In those discussions, it was said that each person on the planet earth could reside in Texas with an acre of land each. Well, in doing the calculations, it can be shown that this is not the case, please let Alex know so he's using good information.
we take earths population:6.387 billion (http://www.overpopulation.net/) we take the world's land mass: 148.94 million km2 or 57,506,055 sq miles(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth#Land_use)


We take Texas' land mass: 261,914 sq miles(http://www.netstate.com/states/geography/tx_geography.htm)We convert one sq mile into acres = 640 acres(http://www.onlineconversion.com/area.htm)

Therefore, @ one acre/person, we could fit 167,624,960 people in Texas In another viewpoint, we'd need 38 states the size of Texas, for everyone on earth to have one acre of land, or 9,979,688 sq miles which accounts for 6.7% of the available land mass on earth
@ 1/4 acre per person, we'd need 2,494,922 sq miles of land mass to accommodate the earth's population.the U.S. is 9,161,923 sq km or 3,537,438 sq miles(http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/us.html)

Therefore, we'd be able to fit the earth's population in the US with 1 million sq miles to spare, if we gave each person 1/4 acre, which accounts for 1.7% of the available land mass on earth
Another way to look at it is the population of New York versus it's land use New York has a population of 8.1 million people in 321 sq miles(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City)Using that density, we could fit 6.6 billion people in Texas, which accounts for 0.5% of the available land mass on earth

Dave needs to look at the following information.


I think Alex is trying to say that each person given 1,250 sq. ft. can fit in the state of Texas not acres. Here's part of a link that explains it:

From http://web.archive.org/web/20030812024452/abortionismurder.org/overpop.shtml



"...If you familiarize yourself with the myths surrounding "overpopulation," you'll be in abetter position to defend yourself and your family against these idealogical threats.

Myth 1: The world is overcrowded and population growth is adding overwhelming numbersof humans to a small planet. In fact, people do live in crowded conditions, and alwayshave. We cluster together in cities and villages in order to exchange goods and serviceswith one another. But while we crowd together for economic reasons in our great metropolitanareas, most of the world is empty, as we can see when we fly over it. It has been estimatedby Paul Ehrlich and others that human beings actually occupy no more than 1 to 3 percent ofthe earth's land surface.
If you allotted 1250 square feet to each person, all the people in the world would fitinto the state of Texas. Try the math yourself: 7,438,152,268,800 square feet in Texas,divided by the world population of 5,860,000,000, equals 1269 square feet per person.The population density of this giant city would be about 21,000 — somewhat more thanSan Francisco and less than the Bronx.Another fact: World population growth is rapidly declining. United Nations figures show that the 79 countries that comprise 40 percent of the world's population now have fertility rates too low to prevent population decline. The rate in Asia fell from 2.4 in 1965-70 to 1.5 in 1990-95. In Latin America and the Caribbean, the rate fell from 2.75 in 1960-65 to 1.70 in 1990-95. In Europe, the rate fell to 0.16 — that is, effectively zero — in 1990-95.

And the annual rate of change in world population fell from 2 percent in 1965-70 to less than 1.5 percent in 1990-95.Worldwide, the number of children the typical woman had during her lifetime (total fertility) fell from 5 in 1950-55 to less than 3 in 1990-95. (The number necessary just to "replace" the current generation is 2.1.) In the more developed regions, total fertility fell from 2.77 to 1.68 over the same period. In the less developed regions it fell from more than 6 to 3.3. Total fertility in Mexico was 3.1 in 1990-95. In Spain it stood at 1.3, and in Italy, it was 1.2..."


Here's further information:

At 2003, there were 6,301,999,470 people worldwide and counting. If you give 6 billion people on the planet with 1,000 square feet each, it could easy fit into the state of Texas with over 1.3 billion square feet left over. Look at this representation to see the information more clearly.Texas has 262,015 square miles of land and that’s 7,304,558,976,000 square feet equaling this=Square feet in Texas (7,304,558,976,000)- Square feet needed for 6 billion people (1,000 sq. Ft. per person) (6,000,000,000,000)= Leftover of 1,304,558,976,000. Even with ca. 6.5 billion people (in 2006), 1,200 sq. ft. given to each person can fit in the state of Texas.
