Inscribed on a strange monument in Georgia in 8 major world languages is the following:

* Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
* Guide reproduction wisely—improving fitness and diversity.
* Unite humanity with a living new language.
* Rule passion—faith—tradition—and all things with tempered reason.
* Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
* Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
* Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
* Balance personal rights with social duties.
* Prize truth—beauty—love—seeking harmony with the infinite.
* Be not a cancer on the earth—Leave room for nature—Leave room for nature.

This monument, known on Wikipedia and often in books is the Georgia Guidestones, put up by a strange anonymous man who came into the town and placed them here.

Some say this is evidence of the agenda of world think-tanks and globalization, such as the Club of Rome, and that they will by force if necessary reduce the population. There is direct evidence the Club of Rome is Neo-Malthusian, and their book speaks of the need to lower the population but not of the methods to do so. If you look at the UN, you will see this seems like their over-arcing agenda including their NGOs. Is this the agenda of some Elite groups?

Here's my suggestion: Reduce humanity to 0. The rest will sort itself out.

I'm of the opinion that a significant and sudden drop in the human population would not necessarily be a bad thing.

You're volunteering?

you seriously saying one man came along and just plonked them on the grass? he must have been bloody strong!

You're volunteering?

I'll stand under the comet and smack it back into space with a baseball bat!

If I fail, then humanity dies with me! :p

They were made to distract us from the real conspiracy theories!

No, but honestly, how can someone ask humanity to be maintained at 500 million when there's already 12 to 14 times as many people here? That's just stupid, if not asking for trouble...

well, according to wiki they misspelled pseudonym, and were 'inconsistent' with punctuation... maybe they had trouble counting as well. all in all, not a great start to the new commandments for the human race!

That's all the world needs: A zombie ninja clown. :p

Only if I can become your apprentice. :)

Know what would make it worse? If you were turned into a religious figure after your death. A zombie ninja clown son of God...

Pffft, that's no fun. I for one plan on living forever as a zombie.

So...obtuse...

A work of a somewhat naive philantrophist, or a sinister cabal?

Hard to say. Though I do find maintaining humanity with a population of 500,000,000 to be a tough task never mind reducing it to that level...

But the goals seem somewhat noble...

The road to hell is paved with good intentions!

There were more than 1 billion people over 100 years ago. 1/2 billion is a ridiculous number. You could not maintain a modern society with so few people.

The 'In balance with nature' kinda implies that maintaining a modern society is not the goal.

500,000,000 humans (mark 2) and the rest of the population made of subhuman ogre-slaves bred for purpose. Sounds good to me.

I might be reading my own politics into this, mind.

Rich people are wierd.

when you google "georgia guidestones" you get hits for sites that consider it to be an evil thing.

there are even groups that want to have it smashed to bits because it is satanic.

im surprised it has lasted so long in georgia.

Dont you see? Its because the evil international elite cabal is protecting it from the good crichin amurken jawjuns.

Alright! You first.

Wow.. those things would be kinds funny if a lone nut had done it.. like that coral castle some guy built.. but that much translation and construction must have taken a group of people, which is kinda sad.

Crazy hermits who stagger drunkenly out of the woods aren't generally known for their command of grammar.
Or math.
Or hygeine.
Or, really, anything else at all.

Sounds good.
Now...where to get 5.7 billion bullets...

Let me just pick out a few choice tidbits.

* Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.

Only way to do that is to slaughter billions of people.


* Guide reproduction wisely—improving fitness and diversity.

Eugenics programs.


* Unite humanity with a living new language.

One nation, one language!


* Avoid petty laws and useless officials.

Like trials and judges.


* Balance personal rights with social duties.
