RELIEF SOUGHT:
[1.1]
Andrea Muhrrteyn, an Alien on Pale Blue Dot respectfully moves
this Court for permission to appear Pro Se for the limited purpose of being admitted as an Æquilibriæx Jurisprudence supporting Amicus Curiae. [1.2]
Alien further moves this Court for permission to file the attached Brief
In Propria Persona by Amici Curiae, Andrea Muhrrteyn, an Alien on Pale Blue Dot: Æquilibriæx Sustainable Security Theses on the Power and Efficacy of Civilized Patriarchy’s AnthroCorpocentric Indulgences: ‘Innocence for Sale’ Jurisprudence, into the court record in these proceedings. [2]
Æquilibriæx: Balanced Eco/Anthropocentric Jurisprudence:
[2.1] (books),
Æquilibriæx is derived from æquus (equal), libra/æ (balance), libri lex
(law).
Æquilibriæx
Jurisprudence,
i.e.
Equal
&
balanced
Eco/Anthropocentric law; occurs as Equilibriæx Jurisprudence adherence to the laws of nature / ecology, with the goal of all species living in carry capacity harmony with another; and Aquilibriæx Jurisprudence adherence to laws of human nature, which the goal of harmony between humans and their tribes, based upon fully informed consenting agreements. [2.2]
Æquilibriæx Jurisprudence recognizes all Leaver beings, animal and
plant species, individuals, corporations, families, tribes, etc., rights to legal personhood; differentiating between Sustainable (Leaver) and Unsustainable (Taker) procreation, consumption and production practices; where Leavers are legally rewarded for their contribution towards Æquilibriæx inter and intraspecies harmony, and Takers are legally penalized for their contribution towards Æquilibriæx inter and/or intra-species disharmony and dischord. [3]
INTEREST OF AMICUS CURIAE:
[3.1]
ANDREA MUHRRTEYN: Andrea Muhrrteyn [feminine of Andrew
Martin], is a nom de plume for Lara Johnstone. A.
ANDREA: Andrea derives from the Greek ανή (anēr), genitive ανδ ό (andrós), that indicates the man as opposed to the woman [Andrea Alciato, (1492 - 1550), was an Italian jurist and writer, regarded as the founder of the French school of legal humanists. Alciati is most famous for his Emblemata, a collection of short Latin verse texts and accompanying woodcuts: Emblema CLXXXIX says: Mentem, non formam, plus pollere which means, Intelligence Matters, Not Beauty].
B.
MUHRRTEYN: Muhrr + teyn: Muhrr, for the Holy Oil, Myhrr and Teyn, is Nyet (No, in Russian) backwards. Mu: Mu: important in Zen & Discordian practice; also represents MU, a fictional parallel universe, continent, or place; or a MisUnderstood word. Martin also refers to Francis Marion, aka Benjamin Martin, from the movie The Patriot,
whose guerrilla codename was The Swamp Fox. Francis Marion was the father of Guerrylla Warfare. C.
ANDREW MARTIN: Andrew Martin, is the U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men robot, NDR-113, in Isaac Asimov and Robert Silverberg’s Positronic Man (1993). It is the story of Andrew’s quest for legal recognition as a human.
D.
ANDREA MUHRRTEYN: Andrea Muhrrteyn is thus a Gaia Primitivist Guerrylla Lawfare robot on an Æquilibriæx Jurisprudence quest: a.
for courts to provide automatic equal legal personhood and rights to women, non-patriarchal – matriarchal or gender balanced – cultures’, nature and animal and plant species;
b.
for jurisprudence and courts to (i) obey the objective and scientific breed and consume below carrying capacity truth of the laws of nature/ecology: ‘Thou shalt not legislate laws which allow citizens to transgress the cultural carrying capacity limit’; and how violating carrying capacity limits results in ecological overshoot, scarcity and scarcity induced conflict; and
c.
to free Military National Security leaders from their duty to protect ecologically illiterate / Earth is Flat unsustainable civilized patriarchy legal matrix constitutions that legally, politically and procedurally denies them the opportunity of addressing the root causes of scarcity-conflict threats to national security; by holding legislators and citizens who legislatively or practically endorse unsustainable right to breed and consume legislation, accountable as ‘breeding war’ or ‘consumption war’ scarcity combatants.
[3.2]
Alien on Pale Blue Dot refers to:
A.
ALIEN: Hardin (1980)1: Religious historian, Ernest Renan invented the “Man from Mars”, or in this case that ‘Woman from Venus’, that “thoroughly rational, inquisitive being, who asks earthlings to explain what they do in terms that can be understood by an intelligence completely free of all traditional terrestrial beliefs, assumptions, and prejudices.”
B.
PALE BLUE DOT: Sagan C: Pale Blue Dot2: “Consider again that dot .. home where everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.., every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there - on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by generals and emperors so that, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Our posturing, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light….. The significance of our lives and our fragile planet is determined only by our own wisdom and courage. We are the custodians of life's meaning… knowledge is preferable to ignorance. Better to embrace hard truth than a reassuring fable. If we crave some cosmic purpose, then let us find ourselves a worthy goal…. Once we overcome our fear of being tiny, we find ourselves on the threshold of a vast Universe that utterly dwarfs — in time, space, and potential — the tidy anthropocentric proscenium of our ancestors.

The path to "disruptive domestic shock" could include traditional threats such as deployment of WMDs, alongside "catastrophic natural and human disasters" or "pervasive public health emergencies" coinciding with "unforeseen economic collapse." Such crises could lead to "loss of functioning political and legal order" leading to "purposeful domestic resistance or insurgency... "DoD might be forced by circumstances to put its broad resources at the disposal of civil authorities to contain and reverse violent threats to domestic tranquility. Under the most extreme circumstances, this might include use of military force against hostile groups inside the United States. Further, DoD would be, by necessity, an essential enabling hub for the continuity of political authority in a multi-state or nationwide civil conflict or disturbance." http://www.strategicstudiesinstitute.army.mil/pdffiles/PUB890.pdf 57 http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=ADA314878 58 Butts, Kent Hughes (25 April 1994): Environmental Security: A DoD Partnership for Peace http://www.strategicstudiesinstitute.army.mil/pdffiles/PUB339.pdf 48 49

Key findings include: (1) Shell spent over $1 billion on global security between 2007 to 2009. At least $383 million of that was spent in Nigeria, or 40% of Shell’s total expenditure. (2) In 2009, Shell’s financial support for government forces in Nigeria, including the notorious ‘kill and go’ police, reached an estimated $65 million. Shell executives appear to have turned a blind eye to unexplained security expenditure of $75 million in Nigeria in 2009. (3) During the period, Shell’s security spending fuelled conflict and enabled systematic human rights abuses by government forces and armed militants. http://www.ejolt.org/2012/08/data-leak-reveals-shell%E2%80%99s-deep-financial-links-to-human-rights-abusers-innigeria/ 88 http://platformlondon.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Dirty-work-Shell%E2%80%99s-security-spending-in-Nigeriaand-beyond-Platform-August-2012.pdf 89 http://arctic-news.blogspot.com/2013/06/mean-methane-levels-reach-1800-ppb.html 90 http://www.baconsrebellion.com/2011/08/occupational-licensing-and-the-earnings-gap.html 91 http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-green-army-20130701,0,3452802.story 92 Anthony D.

INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT: “We cannot regulate our interaction with any aspect of reality that our model of reality does not include.” - Stafford Beer, Brain of the Firm1 “It is increasingly plausible that the total social costs of growth (many of which go unaccounted) now exceed the measurable benefits. If so, the world has entered an era of uneconomic growth, growth that impoverishes (see Daly, 1999; Siegel, 2006).” - William Rees; What’s blocking Sustainability? Human nature, cognition and denial2 “Given current corporate practices, not one wildlife reserve, wilderness, or indigenous culture will survive the global market economy. We know that every natural system on the planet is disintegrating... There is no polite way to say that business is destroying the world.” - Paul Hawken, The Ecology of Commerce: A Declaration of Sustainability, 1993, 3. “Kill bankers, not yourselves [or each other]” Panagiotaros, Member: Greece's Golden Dawn Party

being entirely de rigueur”. A court “needs to be multi-disciplinary, drawing from other disciplines .. such wisdom as may be relevant for its purpose”; since a court “cannot afford to be monocultural, especially where it is entering newly developing areas of law”. [3]
A credible honourable court should find that the constitutional and legislative
Social Contract entered into between any Civilized Patriarchy Government, and its citizens, particularly its military and national security employees, is a civilized patriarchy legal matrix contract, based upon deception and fraud, which does not meet the requirements of a fully informed consenting agreement. [4]
Civilized Patriarchy War-is-Peace jurisprudence is any Constitution or
legislation that grants citizens the inalienable right to breed and consume without regard for ecological carrying capacity limits. [5]
Honest Civilized Patriarchy Social Contract jurisprudence would clearly and
explicitly inform its citizens that any Constitution or legislation that grants citizens the inalienable right to breed and consume without regard for ecological carrying capacity limits; is ‘War is Peace’ jurisprudence, which socio-economically and psychopolitically benefits the socio-political, corporate and media elite. [6]
An honest Civilized Patriarchy War-is-Peace Enlistment Agreement would
inform any citizen that they are Enlisting to become a cannon fodder soldier to be dispatched to plunder other nation’s resources, and lie to their fellow citizens, because their own country’s ecologically illiterate social contract jurisprudence does not require their fellow citizens to procreate and consume below their nation’s carrying capacity levels. [7]

Nondisclosure Agreement would explicitly inform a Military or Intelligence Employee that they are expected to keep the thieving, plundering and mass murder culling consequences secrets of the American civilized patriarchy socio-political elite, endorsed by the legal matrix jurists, and an Ecologically Illiterate constitution; to themselves. [8]
Civilized Patriarchy’s War-is-Peace Jurisprudence is a legal world, very similar
to the Matrix religious world that existed before Martin Luther confronted the religious indulgence salesmen with his Ninety-Five Theses, on the Church of All Saints, on 31 October 1517, thereby initiating the Protestant Reformation. [9]
In the Catholic Church’s religious Matrix world, only Catholic Bishops were
entitled to be interpreters of the ‘word of god’. Only they could decide what God 2
meant, about who was guilty and who was innocent, who would go to hell and who would go to heaven. God did not speak to common people, except via the Catholic Church’s bishops. [10]
In Civilized Patriarchy’s Legal Matrix world, only those who swear blind
obedience to Civilized Patriarchy’s Legal Matrix world – lawyers, prosecutors and judges – are deemed to possess the supposed superior intellectual Legal Godlike capabilities, to decipher, decode and interpret the ‘word of civilized patriarch gods’, hence capable of deciding which of us mere commons surplus vote, cannon and criminal fodder mortals acts of commission, or omission, is ‘lawful’ or ‘unlawful’. [11]
In the Catholic Church’s religious Matrix world, the corporate and political elite
could purchase – Forgiveness for Sale – Indulgences from the Catholic Church’s religious matrix Bishops; which influenced the Bishops interpretation of the ‘word of god’ in favour of the purchaser’s ‘forgiveness’ from the wrath of God, for their sins. [12]
In Civilized Patriarchy’s Legal Matrix world, the corporate and political elite
purchase – Innocence for Sale – Indulgences from the Legal Matrix Bishops to interpret the ‘word of civilized patriarch gods’; in favour of avoiding any legal interpretations that result in legislation or jurisprudence that defines the civilized patriarchy elite’s ecological criminal acts of control of consumption and reproduction billion dollar thievery and mass murder, as ‘unlawful’. [13]
Civilized Patriarchy Legal Matrix Flat Earth Jurisprudence ignores that
Humans live on a planet with finite resources. Ecological laws dictate that any conscious species living in an ecosystem with finite resources, that wishes to avoid ecological overshoot, and the scarcity conflict consequences of overshoot, should enact legislation that limit their citizens procreation or consumption from transgressing cultural carrying capacity limits. [14]
A nations non-renewable and renewable resources are a ‘commons’ and
increased population and/or consumption of resources can only occur up to the point of ‘carrying capacity’ tipping points. Once ‘carrying capacity’ laws of nature tipping points are breached, once ecological overshoot occurs; resource scarcity occurs which – in the absence of equivalent voluntary population and consumption reduction triggers resource war violence, which exponentially increases the problems of those tasked with ‘national security’. There is a fundamental ecological, environmental security and consequent national security, difference between the resource war violence, from temporary resource scarcity that results on the upward side of the resource bell curve (when surplus resources can be imported for elsewhere), and the resource war violence on the downslope of the curve, subsequent to Peak Oil, Peak
3
NNR, Peak Water, Peak Land, etc; (when no surplus exists elsewhere in the absence of taking it by force). [15]
Extensive
Environment/Overshoot-Scarcity-Conflict
documentation
from
military and intelligence agencies, United Nations and governments, NGO’s and academic reports, etc, collectively document how the legislative failure to restrict humanity’s procreation and consumption to cultural carrying capacity limits, and Legal Matrix Indulgences to Corporations: Socialized Corporate Externality Costs: Trillion Dollar Thefts from Global Natural Capital Commons11, has resulted in humanity’s ecological overshoot of carrying capacity limits by between 700 to 400,000 percent12; which include crossing urgent Planetary Boundary Tipping Points 13: (i) Loss of Biodiversity and Species Extinctions14; (ii) Climate Change15; (iii) Nitrogen Cycle16; (iv) Ocean Acidification17; (v) Changes in Land Use18; (vi) Global Freshwater Use19; (vii) State Shift in the Earth’s Biosphere20; (viii) Peak Non-Renewable Natural Resources: Scarcity21; with devastating current climate-resource-scarcity-conflict and refugees, and impending tipping point threat multiplier aggravation of the crisis of ‘scarcity-conflict’ death spiral. [16]
The public in general are ecologically illiterate of current Overshoot-Scarcity-
Conflict consequences of their procreation and consumption lifestyle’s, such as climate-resource-scarcity-conflict and refugees, and impending tipping point threat multiplier aggravation of the crisis of ‘scarcity-conflict’ death spiral; and hence unable or unwilling to make informed environmental decisions, as a result of the Media’s Censorship of Overshoot-Scarcity-Conflict contextual information in their reporting on socio-political scarcity and conflict problems resulting from ecological overshoot. For example in Dr. Michael Maher’s study: How and Why Journalists Avoid Population - Environment Connection22, he took a random sample of 150 stories about urban sprawl, endangered species and water shortages and found that only 1 in ten framed population growth as a source of the problem. Media Matters studies in the US show that (i) in recent 2013 wildfire coverage, only 6 percent of http://tygae.weebly.com/corp-externalities.html http://tygae.weebly.com/ecological-overshoot.html 13 http://tygae.weebly.com/tipping-points.html 14 http://tygae.weebly.com/biodiversity-loss.html 15 http://tygae.weebly.com/climate-change.html 16 http://tygae.weebly.com/nitrogen-cycle.html 17 http://tygae.weebly.com/ocean-acidification.html 18 http://tygae.weebly.com/land-use.html 19 http://tygae.weebly.com/freshwater-use.html 20 http://tygae.weebly.com/biosphere-state-shift.html 21 http://tygae.weebly.com/peak-nnr-scarcity.html 22 Maher, MT (1997/03) 11 12

[17]
Citizens, citizens rights organisations and legislators serious and sincere about
reducing the devastating current environmental and national security climateresource-scarcity-conflict and refugees consequences from civilized patriarchy’s legislative failure to restrict humanity’s procreation and consumption to cultural carrying capacity limits, and Legal Matrix Indulgences to Corporations: Socialized Corporate Externality Costs: Trillion Dollar Thefts from Global Natural Capital Commons, should educate citizens about the importance of enacting Ecology of Peace legislation to determine Sustainable Security: (A) Procreation footprint: how many children per family maintains procreation levels below carrying capacity and leads to sustainable peace? (B) Production Footprint: How much exploitation and production of non-renewable and renewable natural resources maintains production below carrying capacity and leads to sustainable peace? (C) Consumption Footprint: How much individual consumption maintains consumption levels below carrying capacity and leads to sustainable peace? [18]
The court should act to free Military and National Security leaders from their
duty to protect Ecologically Illiterate Flat Earth unsustainable constitutions that legally, politically and procedurally denies them the opportunity of addressing the root causes of scarcity-conflict threats to national security; by holding legislators and citizens who legislatively or practically endorse unsustainable right to breed and consume legislation, accountable as ‘breeding war’ or ‘consumption war’ scarcity combatants; and rewarding citizens and legislators who endorse sustainable Ecology of Peace procreation and consumption lifestyle’s or legislation.

consumption bio-capacity of 1 global hectare (gha)43 (60 % of 1.8 gha)44 in accordance EcoFootprint: The difference between the biocapacity and Ecological Footprint of a region or country. A biocapacity deficit occurs when the Footprint of a population exceeds the biocapacity of the area available to that population. If there is a regional or national biocapacity deficit, it means that the region is importing biocapacity through trade or liquidating regional ecological assets. Global biocapacity deficit cannot be compensated through trade, and is overshoot. 43 Sustainable Footprint Biocapacity: A biocapacity of 1 gha assumes that 40% of land is set aside for other species. 1 gha is 60 % of 1.8 gha, therefore .8 hectares is set aside for other species. 44 International Biocapacity: In 2006, the average biologically productive area (biocapacity) per person worldwide was approximately 1.8 global hectares (gha) per capita. In 2008, there were ~ 12 billion hectares of biologically productive 42

with the proactive conservation policies of Bhutan45; multiplied by an individuals procreation footprint factor of 20 per child. [(Each Child increases a parents footprint by factor of 2046)] [24]
For example: Amici’s Consumption Footprint47 using Sustainable Economy's
Myfootprint.org quiz, is 12.75 global hectares (gha). South Africa's average consumption footprint is 38.59 gha. Amici has no children, consequently her procreation factor is 0 x 20* = 0. Her Consumption (12.75) x Procreation (0) = Eco Footprint of 12.75/0 gha. If accurate, if everyone consumed and procreated like Amici, we would need 0.81 earths.48 Conversely, if everyone consumed and procreated like President Jacob Zuma, we would need 2090 earths49. [25]
Planet of 1 Billion: Ecology of Peace status of 1 child is 12 gha: If for
example, there were only 3.5 billion people alive this year, that would have provided everyone with one child, with 3.5 gha (instead of 1 gha), and no children with 3.5 gha x 20 = 60.5 gha. If there were only 1 billion people, every person with one child would have access to 12 gha bio-capacity for their needs, without transgressing carrying capacity limits, and entering into ecological overshoot. Put differently, if there were only 1 billion people on Earth this year, everyone could live my modest, but comfortable lifestyle, with the procreation factor of one child, without transgressing carrying capacity limits, and entering ecological overshoot. Note: The above statistics are also based upon using only 60 percent of biologically productive land of 12 billion hectares / population; meaning that 40 percent of biologically productive land is returned to its natural state, for other species and wildlife conservation purposes. land and water on Earth. Dividing by the number of people alive in that year (6.7 billion) gives 1.79 global hectares per person. This assumes that no land is set aside for other species that consume the same biological material as humans. 45 Bhutan Proactive Conservation: Bhutan is seen as a model for proactive conservation initiatives. The Kingdom has received international acclaim for its commitment to the maintenance of its biodiversity. This is reflected in the decision to maintain at least sixty percent of the land area under forest cover, to designate more than 40% of its territory as national parks, reserves and other protected areas, and most recently to identify a further nine percent of land area as biodiversity corridors linking the protected areas. Environmental conservation has been placed at the core of the nation's development strategy, the middle path. It is not treated as a sector but rather as a set of concerns that must be mainstreamed in Bhutan's overall approach to development planning and to be buttressed by the force of law. - "Parks of Bhutan".

President Zuma’s Procreation Factor is 500 [President Zuma has 25 children. His procreation footprint factor is 25 x 20* = 500. (Each Child increases a parents footprint by factor of 20)]. President Zuma’s Net Consumption & Procreation Footprint is 33280 gha [Consumption (65.66) x Procreation (500) = Net Footprint of 33280 gha].

MILINT Earth Day Ecology of Peace Whistleblower/Activist Oath: [26]
Amici’s MILINT Earth Day Ecology of Peace Whistleblower / Activist Oath50,
was submitted to the Walk Your Footprint Talk to Support the Troops’ Military Advisory Board (“MAB”), copies sent to: Gen. Keith Alexander, National Security Agency; James Clapper, Director of National Intelligence and Lisa Monaco, Asst Att. General for National Security, National Security Division, Department of Justice. [27]
The oath submits that “our civilized patriarchy constitutions rights to breed and
consume have resulted in ecological overshoot of carrying capacity by between 700 to 400,000 percent51, which is destroying our Planet’s Natural Capital, with devastating current and impending ‘scarcity-conflict’ death spiral consequences52; as manifested in the crossing of urgent Planetary Boundary Tipping Points53: (i) Loss of Biodiversity and Species Extinctions54; (ii) Climate Change55; (iii) Nitrogen Cycle56; (iv) Ocean Acidification57; (v) Changes in Land Use58; (vi) Global Freshwater Use59; (vii) State Shift in the Earth’s Biosphere60; (viii) Peak Non-Renewable Natural Resources: Scarcity61; and (ix) Socialized Corporate Externality Costs: Trillion Dollar Thefts from Global Natural Capital Commons62.” [28]
It hopes to “free Military National Security leaders from their duty to protect
Earth is Flat unsustainable constitutions that legally, politically and procedurally denies them the opportunity of addressing the root causes of scarcity-conflict threats to national security; by holding legislators and citizens who legislatively or practically endorse unsustainable right to breed and consume legislation, accountable as ‘breeding war’ or ‘consumption war’ scarcity combatants”.

STATEMENT OF FACTS [31]
Amici does not dispute the Plaintiff’s statement of facts in their Complaint for
Constitutional and Statutory Violations; Seeking Declaratory and Injunctive Relief (PDF64) as being the relevant ecological legal facts, in a nation prior to ecological overshoot. [32]
An Ecologically Literate court, in a country in ecological overshoot, should
interpret the facts submitted to any court from Ecologically Illiterate Scarcity Combatant Plaintiff’ and Respondent’s as the facts of subjectively sincere Ecologically Illiterate Scarcity Combatant citizens and their Legal Matrix Bishops; who are ignorant (a) of the ecological reality that the constitutional and legislative Social Contract entered into between any civilized patriarchy Government, and its citizens, particularly its military and national security employees, is a civilized 63

patriarchy legal matrix contract, based upon deception and fraud, which does not meet the requirements of a fully informed consenting agreement; and (b) that the planet is massively in ecological overshoot; which exponentially aggravates environmental security, scarcity-conflict national security related problems. [33]
A court who endorses fraudulent social contract jurisprudence has no moral
authority to expect, let alone demand anyone appearing before it to ‘tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.’ [34]
Respectfully, Amici argues that if the court is sincere and serious about fairly,
impartially and professionally regulating (a) the relations between humans, nature and other animals species and (b) the relations between humans amongst themselves, in terms of their gender, culture, ethnic, religious and ideological conflicts; for all parties equal benefits and responsibilities; the court should consider an

This yields 0.618..., the first three digits of which apply nicely to the Gregorian calendar as 6/18, June 18th. The golden ratio plays an important role in the geometry of pentagrams. Each intersection of edges sections other edges in the golden ratio. Also, the ratio of the length of the shorter segment to the segment bounded by the two intersecting edges (a side of the pentagon in the pentagram's center) is φ. The pentagram includes ten isosceles triangles: five acute & five obtuse isosceles triangles. In all of them, the ratio of the longer side to the shorter side is φ. The acute triangles are golden triangles. 70 During the ANC’s “liberation struggle” African women were forced (1) to have sex with ANC cadres, & (2) not allowed to use contraception. Any woman who refused sex from an ANC cadre or was caught using contraception was detained, accused of being an 'Apartheid agent', given a People‘s Court trial, the sentence was usually Necklacing, incl. broken bottles shoved up their vagina. [Johannes Harnischfeger, Witchcraft and the State in South Africa (*German version of published in Anthropopos, 95/ 2000, S. 99-112): “Especially evening assemblies girls had to attend as well: “They would come into the house and tell us we should go. They didn't ask your mother they just said ‘come let's go.’ You would just have to go with them. They would threaten you with their belts and ultimately you would think that if you refused, they would beat you. Our parents were afraid of them” (quoted by Delius 1996:189). All those opposing the wishes of the young men were reminded, that it was every woman’s obligation to give birth to new “soldiers”, in order to replace those warriors killed in the liberation struggle. The idiom of the adolescents referred to these patriotic efforts as “operation production”. Because of exactly this reason it was forbidden for the girls to use contraceptives. (Delius 1996:189; Niehaus 1999:250)”] 71 Maki Skosana was an ANC comrade who was accused – for no observable reasons – of being an apartheid spy, given a people‘s court trial and publicly executed by necklacing in July 1985. The TRC made no effort whatsoever to investigate the motives for shoving broken glass bottles up women’s vagina’s who were necklaced. TRC Report: “Moloko said her sister was burned to death with a tyre around her neck while attending the funeral of one of the youths. Her body had been scorched by fire and some broken pieces of glass had been inserted into her vagina, Moloko told the committee. Moloko added that a big rock had been thrown on her face after she had been killed.” www.doj.gov.za/trc/hrvtrans/duduza/moloko.htm 72 1529 – The Second Diet of Speyer bans Lutheranism; a group of rulers (German: Fürst) and independent cities (German: Reichsstadt) protests the reinstatement of the Edict of Worms, beginning the Protestant Reformation. 73 1943 – World War II: In Poland, German troops enter the Warsaw ghetto to round up the remaining Jews, beginning the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. 67 68

When the Magistrate ordered her to apologize she responded with “Fuck You” to him very loudly a few times, including showing him her middle finger.

Radical Honesty SA definitions of the word ‘Kaffir’: [i] ‘Kaffir Behaviour’: Cultural Beliefs and Procreation Behaviour Definition: Individuals who either independently or as a result of their cultural value systems, are incapable of, or unwilling to, practice sexual restraint and procreation responsibility; who consequently breed cockroach prolifically without personal financial or psychological responsibility to, or emotional concern for, their offspring; and/or who abuse women and children as sexual or economic slaves procreated for such purpose; and/or whose cultural ideal of manhood endorses non-consensual sex (rape) as their sexual slavery entitlement, etc. [ii] ‘Kaffir Etymology’: Original Etymological Definition for ‘Kaffir’: The word kāfir is the active participle of the Semitic root K-F-R “to cover”. As a pre-Islamic term it described farmers burying seeds in the ground, covering them with soil while planting; as they till the earth and “cover up” the seeds; which is why earth tillers are referred to as “Kuffar.” Thus, kāfir implies the meaning “a person who hides or covers”; To conceal, deny, hide or cover the truth. [iii] ‘Kaffir Legislation’ = Inalienable ‘Right to Breed and Vote’: Breed Poverty, Misery and War legislation; pretending it advocates for ‘peace’ and ‘human rights’; Kaffir Jurisprudence provides citizens with the Inalienable ‘Right to Breed’, but demands that Citizens need a Licence to Own a Gun, a Licence to Drive a Car, a Licence to Practice Law, a television licence, a credit licence, a licence to earn a living, a university exemption licence, a licence to fish, a licence to hunt, a liquor licence, a business licence, a marriage licence, etc, etc. 75 The 18 June 2002 to 18 July 2007, Political Necessity Trial in George (CAS 572/02; GSH 20/2003; HC-WC Appeal A 696-04, CT-CAS 1340/7/07 & 17/1384/07 & 14/1198/08) issues were: (i) Political Necessity to urgently educate citizens on importance of voluntary population reduction by “Shock doctrine” disclosure that AIDS is a biological warfare depopulation virus; (ii) In the absence of voluntary population reduction, exponential Population Growth colliding with Peak Oil, Arable Land, Water, Food indicate Exponential ‗French Lilly Pond Tipping Point‘ of humanity overshooting resource limitations, with potentially disastrous biological and nuclear resource warfare consequences. 76 http://tygae.weebly.com 77 http://sqswans.weebly.com/guerrylla-law.html 74

Civilization, very fundamentally, is the history of the domination of nature and of women. Patriarchy means rule over women and nature. Women and nature are universally devalued by the dominant paradigm and who cannot see what this has wrought? Ursula Le Guin gives us a healthy corrective to Paglia’s dismissal of both: “Civilized Man says: I am Self, I am Master, all the rest is other — outside, below, underneath, subservient. I own, I use, I explore, I exploit, I control. What I do is what matters. What I want is what matter is for. I am that I am, and the rest is women and wilderness, to be used as I see fit.” - John Zerzan, Patriarchy, Civilization, and the Origins of Gender100, Anarchist Library “Paradoxically, the very achievements of civilized man have been the most important factors in the downfall of civilizations.” Tom Dale & Vernon Gill Carter, Topsoil and Civilization (1955)
Civilized Patriarchy: [44]
A system of society or government, is Patriarchal to the extent that it regulates
(a) the relations between humans, nature and other animals species and (b) the relations between humans amongst themselves, in terms of their gender, culture, ethnic, religious and ideological conflicts; for the (c) almost exclusive benefit of violent Anthropocentric humans and corporations. [45]
Consequently a legal, political or social system is Patriarchal to the extent of its
(a) failure to provide automatic equal legal personhood and rights to women, culture’s based on non-patriarchal principles, nature and animal and plant species; (b) disregard for the objective and scientific breed and consume below carrying capacity truth of the laws of nature/ecology; and (c) disregard for the laws of human nature; when they contradict the AnthroCorpocentric – breeding and consumption war – objectives of the holders of subjective AnthroCorpocentric Truth. [46]
A society has violent Patriarchal breeding and consumption war objectives, to
the extent that: [46.1]
its socio-political status symbols involve breeding war, consumption war
and violent warrior mythology: (a) breeding war procreation above carrying capacity: i.e. cultures that reward their male members with concepts of manhood virility status, which are based on the man breeding a family above carrying capacity levels; (b) consumption war consuming above carrying capacity; i.e. cultures that reward 100
http://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/john-zerzan-patriarchy-civilization-and-the-origins-of-gender
19
their male members with concepts of manhood intelligence/virility status, which are based upon the man consuming above carrying capacity levels, to demonstrate his ‘large consumption penis’; (c) warrior mythology, where violent men are rewarded with ‘freedom fighter’ or ‘soldier’ socio-political status symbol medals and awards; particularly if the warrior mythology censors and ignores information to educate the culture’s members, that scarcity induced resource war violence can be avoided by the culture’s members choosing to breed and consume below carrying capacity levels. A culture which teaches a purely defensive warrior mythology; i.e. based purely on defense of its landbase and resources, i.e. which educate the members of the culture to avoid overpopulation and overconsumption scarcity inducing lifestyle’s within its culture, and hence does not engage in patriarchal breeding and consumption war objectives would not be considered a patriarchal culture. [46.2]
Its religious, political and corporate leaders (a) endorse patriarchal
objectification and sexualized concepts of ‘beauty’, which demean and vilify all women who do not meet those ‘beauty’ requirements; where a woman’s value is not based on her honesty, character and integrity, but upon how well she is able to market and trade her sexuality for physical and economic safety and security, and (b) avoid addressing the overpopulation and overconsumption scarcity induced root causes of most direct and indirect causes of conflict: from murder, rape, suicide, homeless, unemployment, courts, police, prisons, mental illness, mental institutions, because cumulatively they serve as socio-political conflict pressure cookers to sociopsychologically pressure women to (i) purchase safety and security by trading sexual favours from men, for physical and economic safety and security; (ii) conform to civilized patriarchy’s expectation that she behave as her partners brood sow and/or sexual socio-economic status symbol bimbo accessory, to breed/consume above carrying capacity, to thereby (iii) aggravate scarcity induced violence, particularly against lower class men and women.
A Credible Æquilibriæx Judicial System: “The goal of life is living in agreement with nature.” - Zeno of Citium. Law is the system of rules of conduct established by the sovereign government of a society to correct wrongs, maintain the stability of political and social authority, and deliver justice.
[47]
A ‘credible’ judicial system – like the gender balanced Mosuo in South West
China who have no rape (not even a word in their language for rape, because it does 20
not exist), no murder, no suicide and no unemployment; – is one which accurately applies the relevant natural or scientific laws, to attain a specific related required result of inter-human and intra-species harmony and balance.
[48]
A ‘credible’ judicial system regulates (a) the relations between humans, nature
and other animals species and (b) the relations between humans amongst themselves, in terms of their gender, culture, ethnic, religious and ideological conflicts; in accordance to (i) the laws of nature/ecology, recognizing that a healthy ecological environment, with due regard for regulating human procreation and resource utilization behaviour in accordance with the carrying capacity laws of sustainability is a sine qua non101 for all other constitutional rights102; and (B) the 101 “Environmental Protection as a Principle of International Law : The protection of the environment is likewise a vital part of contemporary human rights doctrine, for it is a sine qua non for numerous human rights such as the right to health and the right to life itself. It is scarcely necessary to elaborate on this, as damage to the
21
laws of human nature; where the relevant disputing parties cultural, religious, and ideological laws of human nature103, are applied to achieve the greatest possible level of intra-species harmony and balance. [49]
Civilized
Patriarchy’s
Legal
Matrix
AnthroCorpocentric
Jurisprudence,
consciously and unconsciously regulates the relations between humans, nature and other animals species by totally ignoring (i) the laws of nature/ecology, allowing citizens to procreate and consume above carrying capacity levels, resulting in ecological overshoot, scarcity and scarcity induced resource conflict; (ii) the laws of human nature, where relevant disputing parties sub-cultural, religious, and ideological values are ignored; all on behalf of, and for the almost exclusive benefits of Anthropocentric males and corporations. [50]
A credible impartial objective analysis of civilized patriarchy’s Innocence for Sale
Indulgence Legal Matrix finds that civilized patriarchy’s corporate, political, religious, media and cultural elite’s GDP/growth agenda’s victimhood welfare-votefarm, poverty pimping and cannon fodder schemes (a) legislate laws which enable and encourage citizens procreation or consumption to transgress cultural carrying capacity, knowing (b) such legislation results in ecological overshoot, surplus votecannon-fodder populations, economic hierarchical inequality, and scarcity induced local, national and international conflict; (c) that ecological overshoot in multicultural/ethnic/religious communities, manifests as inter-cultural / ethnic / religious conflict; (d) inter-cultural / ethnic conflict is a great divide and conquer tool to manipulate the proletariat to perceive other cultural/ethnic proletariat as the source of their own overshoot-scarcity-conflict misery; as opposed to demanding their Duhmockery leaders abide by the Ecology of Peace Commandment: “Thou shalt not legislate laws which enable citizens procreation or consumption to transgress cultural carrying capacity.”

“Every right must be evaluated in the network of all rights claimed and the environment in which these rights are exercised. If we hold that every right, “natural” or not, must be evaluated in the total system of rights operating in a world that is limited, we must inevitably conclude that no right can be presumed to be absolute, that the effect of each right on the suppliers as well as on the demanders must be determined before we can ascertain the quantity of right that is admissible. From here on out, ours is a limited world. Rights must also be limited. The greater the population, the more limited the per capita supply of all goods; hence the greater must be the limitation on individual rights, including the right to breed. At its heart, this is the political meaning of the population problem.” – Garrett Hardin, Limited World, Limited Rights

Civilized Patriarchy’s Legal Matrix Reality doctrine -- the Inalienable ‘Right to
Breed and Consume, but you need a License to Own a Gun, a License to Drive a Car, a License to Practice Law, a television license, a credit license, a license to earn a living, a university exemption license, a license to fish, a license to hunt, a liquor license, a business license, a marriage license, in some U.S. states, five year olds, even need to get a license to run a lemonade stand on their front lawn -hypocritically referred to as the ‘rule-of-law’ is a legal world of lawyers, politicians and priests, who prefer to negligently ignore, plausibly deny, or socio-psycho-phallicly benefit from the conquer-and-multiply and divide and conquer control over the means of human reproduction and consumption. It is a Matrix reality, of legal, political and religious indulgence salesmen. [52]
It is a legal world, very similar to the Matrix religious world that existed before
Martin Luther confronted the religious indulgence salesmen with his Ninety-Five Theses, on the Church of All Saints, on 31 October 1517, thereby initiating the Protestant Reformation. [53]
In the Catholic Church’s religious Matrix world, only Catholic Bishops were
entitled to be interpreters of the ‘word of god’. Only they could decide what God meant, about who was guilty and who was innocent, who would go to hell and who would go to heaven. God did not speak to common people, except via the Catholic Church’s bishops. [54]
In Civilized Patriarchy’s Legal Matrix world, only those who swear blind
obedience to Civilized Patriarchy’s Legal Matrix world – lawyers, prosecutors and judges – are deemed to possess the supposed superior intellectual Legal Godlike capabilities, to decipher, decode and interpret the ‘word of civilized patriarch gods’,
23
hence capable of deciding which of us mere Commons surplus cannon fodder mortals acts of commission, or omission, is ‘lawful’ or ‘unlawful’. Civilized Patriarchy’s Legal Matrix ‘AnthroCorpocentric law’ is based upon Flat
[55]
Earth ‘jurisprudence’, as per the demands of those capable of purchasing Flat Earth legislation indulgences which make their ecologically – breeding/consumption war -criminal acts, to be deemed as ‘legal/lawful’ conduct by the Legal Matrix Bishops: lawyers, prosecutors and Judges. It is a Matrix world of legal indulgence salesmen; who -- ‘Contempt in Facie
[56]
Curiae’ -- demand the public’s sycophantic submissive obedience; for their supposed superior intellectual Godlike capabilities, to decipher, decode and interpret which of us mere Commons surplus cannon and vote fodder mortals acts of commission, or omission, is ‘lawful’ or ‘unlawful’.
Thieving, Conquering, Murdering and Culling Acts of Un/Lawfulness: “Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.” - Henry Kissinger; The Final Days104, by Bob Woodward & Carl Bernstein
[57]
Surplus vote fodder citizens may convert to becoming cannon-fodder citizens by
joining the military to commit conquering or culling acts of murder and theft, as long as their murder and theft is sanctioned as a lawful conquer, culling or theft order, by one or more groups of left/right conquer-and-multiply legal indulgence salesmen. [58]
In this Matrix Reality legal world, soldiers tasked with the national security
conquering and culling responsibilities, of conquering to thieve another tribe’s resources, and culling population ‘useless eaters’ and ‘oxygen thieves’ surplus population excesses; on behalf of the conquering and culling profiteering demands of civilized patriarchy’s civilian corporate and political elite; constantly find themselves confronted with the conquer-or-culling “Befehl ist Befehl” Catch 22 dilemma: [58.1]
To obey, or not to obey, a ‘Lebensraum’, ‘Difaqane’, ‘Operation Freedumb’
and the thousands like them, order to conquer or cull; since a lawful conquer or culling order, by one group of left/right conquer-and-multiply legal indulgence salesmen, can easily be reinterpreted to be an unlawful order, by another group of opposing left/right conquer-and multiply legal indulgence salesmen; presenting a Catch 22 dilemma from which there is no legal escape.

[59]
One who refuses a ‘lawful’ conquering or culling order will still probably be jailed
for refusing orders, and one who accepts an ‘unlawful order will be jailed for committing unlawful culling or conquering acts. [60]
Who decides, what is, and what is not, a conquering or culling lawful, or
unlawful order? [61]
The ‘Inalienable Right to Breed’ Matrix Reality conquer-and-multiply indulgence
salesmen, with their specious justifications, and nightmare of Legal Matrix reality generated bureaucratic stare-decisis cryptic rules and statutes, of course! "I don't know what you mean by 'glory,' " Alice said. Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. "Of course you don't—till I tell you. I meant 'there's a nice knock-down argument for you!' " "But 'glory' doesn't mean 'a nice knock-down argument'," Alice objected. "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less." "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master— that's all." -- Through the Looking Glass, by Lewis Carroll
Civilized Patriarchy: The Master of ‘Relevance’: [62]
The question in a civilized patriarchy court is only concerned with who is the
master of one word: ‘relevance’. [63]
Any question or answer that exposes civilized patriarchy’s Legal Matrix system
for what it is; a system far more corrupt than the Catholic Church’s Indulgences for Sale religious matrix, is simply deemed as ‘irrelevant’. [64]
It is ‘irrelevant’ that legislators, lawyers, courts and judges defy the laws of
ecology with a massive ‘fuck you’, by legislating, interpreting and enforcing Legal Matrix doctrine, that encourages citizens to breed and consume above cultural carrying capacity limits. [65]
It is ‘irrelevant’ that legislators, lawyers, courts and judges know that legislation
which ignores carrying capacity limits results in ecological overshoot, surplus votecannon-fodder populations, economic hierarchical inequality, and scarcity induced local, national and international conflict.
25
[66]
It is ‘irrelevant’ that legislators, lawyers, courts and judges know that legislation
which enables ecological overshoot in multi-cultural/ethnic/religious communities, manifests as inter-cultural / ethnic / religious conflict [67]
It is ‘irrelevant’ that legislators, lawyers, courts and judges know that inter-
cultural / ethnic conflict is a great divide and conquer tool to manipulate the proletariat to perceive other cultural/ethnic proletariat as the source of their own overshoot-scarcity-conflict misery. [68]
It is ‘irrelevant’ that legislators, lawyers, courts and judges sit in judgement
about an accused’s case of theft or murder; while consciously ignoring the theft and thievery and participation in mass murder of the civilized patriarchy corporate elite, who purchased ‘Innocence for Sale’ Indulgences from legislators to avoid legislation that defines their ecologically criminal acts of billion dollar thievery and murder as ‘unlawful’. [69]
What is relevant?:
[70]
It is relevant that civilized patriarchy’s penis constitutions human factory
farming rights to breed and consume, is to be master —that's all. [71]
Who says so?:
[72]
Civilized Patriarchy’s ecologically illiterate Legal Matrix Legislator’s, lawyers,
judges and prosecutors ego-genitals say so!
Civilized Patriarchy’s Legal – Ego-Penis/Vagina – Matrix Monologues: [73]
When a member of civilized patriarchy Legal Matrix Judges, Prosecutors,
Lawyers is in conversation with his/her ego-penis/vagina: who is the boss in such relationship? [74]
Is their legal rational, impartial, evidentiary mind, based upon ecological
carrying capacity science, in charge? [75]
Or are their ego-genitals demands to breed and consume with total disregard for
ecological carrying capacity limits; to profit from vote fodder, cannon fodder and criminal fodder surplus populations to use as their political and military battering ram to conquer other tribes to steal their resources; in charge? [76]
Does s/he Tell his/her Legal Matrix Ego-Penis/Vagina who is the Boss?:
[76.1] Does s/he set an Ecology of peace example, by procreating and consuming below carrying capacity levels? (Procreate one child, to consume below 1 gha; P procreate no children, to consume below 20 gha).
26
[77]
Does s/he practice ecology of peace legal advocacy by encouraging and supporting
citizens (whether as accused in your courtroom, or plaintiff or accused client) to support the enactment of constitutional amendments limiting all citizens rights to breed and consume to below carrying capacity levels? [78]
Does s/he Walk their Talk of Supporting the Troops to avoid participating in any
Civilized Patriarchy Culling or Conquering Wars, to embrace an Ecology of Peace Warrior mythology that is based purely upon the defence of the landbase, authorizing Military Leaders to hold her/him personally accountable by taking the MILINT Earth Day Ecology of Peace Oath to Walk your Eco-Footprint Talk of Supporting the Troops by breeding and consuming below carrying capacity. [79]
Does s/he Ask his/her Legal Matrix Ego-Penis/Vagina who is the Boss?:
[79.1] Does s/he set a civilized patriarchy Legal Matrix Human Factory Farming War Economy example, by procreating and consuming above carrying capacity levels? (Procreate one or more children and consume above 1 gha; procreate no children, and consume above 20 gha). [79.2]
Does s/he practice civilized patriarchy human factory farming legal
advocacy by legislating / enforcing / advocating on behalf of laws which enable citizens procreation or consumption to transgress cultural carrying capacity? [79.3]
Does her/his Talk about Supporting the Troops refer to endorsing civilized
patriarchy’s legal matrix to breed surplus vote and cannon fodder for the purposes of conquering and culling surplus populations and their property and resources; on behalf of the socio-political and economic benefits of the corporate, political and juristic elite?
State of the Civilized Patriarchy Jurisprudence System: Æquilibriæx (stable and balanced) or Disequilibrium (dizzy/out of balance/unstable) [80]
In Stalking the Wild Taboo105, Garrett Hardin deals with the concept of
Competition, a process that is inescapable in societies living in a finite resource world. He proves that the end result of perfect laissez-faire, competition’s end result reduces all competitors until there is only one left. The monopolist will try to Part 4: Competition: (20) Competition, a Tabooed Idea in Sociology; (21) The Cybernetics of Competition; (22) Population, Biology and the Law; (23) Population Skeletons in the Environmental Closet; (24) The Survival of Nations and Civilisations

manipulate the machinery of society in such a way as to extend his powers everywhere, without limit. The same applies to labour monopolies. Under these conditions it is important to seek the boundary conditions within which the rule of laissez-faire can produce stability. An Act that may be harmless when the system is healthy and strong may be quite destructive when the system is stressed near its limits. To promote the goal of stability, a law must take cognizance not only of the act but also of the state of the system at the time the act is performed. [81]
Put differently a right to breed or consume has no destabilizing effect on a
healthy eco-system that has not reached its carrying capacity limits. However once carrying capacity limits are reached, the law granting citizens the right to breed and consume, now begins to reduce the ecosystems stability.
[82]
Is civilized patriarchyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jurisprudence control of reproduction and consumption
enabling a socio-political and ecological system of stability between humans, nature and other animal species, and between humans amongst themselves, in terms of their gender, culture, ethnic, religious, ideological, class and eco-cultural conflicts?
28
[83]
It is submitted that the current state of civilized patriarchy’s system of
jurisprudence is wildly ecologically, psychologically, politically, militarily, financially and spiritually unstable. [84]
Civilized patriarchy’s control of reproduction human factory farming war
economy racket and control of consumption corporate cultural imperialist racket and carte blanche ‘Innocence for Sale’ Indulgences to the Civilized Patriarchy corporate elite for their Socialized Corporate Externality Costs: Trillion Dollar Thefts from Global Natural Capital Commons106; has resulted in ecological overshoot of carrying capacity by between 700 to 400,000 percent107, which is destroying the Planet’s Natural Capital, with devastating current and impending ‘scarcity-conflict’ death spiral consequences108; as manifested in the crossing of urgent Planetary Boundary Tipping Points109: (i) Loss of Biodiversity and Species Extinctions110; (ii) Climate Change111; (iii) Nitrogen Cycle112; (iv) Ocean Acidification113; (v) Changes in Land Use114; (vi) Global Freshwater Use115; (vii) State Shift in the Earth’s Biosphere116; (viii) Peak Non-Renewable Natural Resources: Scarcity117. [85]
Metaphorically the six billion citizens sitting in Civilized Patriarchy’s
AnthroCorpocentric jurisprudence Right to Breed and Consume planetary freight train are speeding over the ecological overshoot – scarcity – conflict – economic collapse cliff, without any seat belts, or parachutes; while the judge drivers of civilized patriarchy’s legal matrix freight train, refuse to investigate holding prosecutors and legislators criminally responsible for the absence of carrying capacity limits legislation, or to enact carrying capacity limits jurisprudence to restrict citizens rights to breed and consume to below carrying capacity levels; to pull the parachute ripcord and slow the descent of the ecological overshoot – scarcity – conflict – economic collapse freight train’s descent towards its collision with the ecological sustainability iceberg.

State of Civilized Patriarchy’s Control of Reproduction Human Factory Farming War Economy Racket “Karl Marx had it wrong. Class has, to be sure, been a major factor in history; but class itself is a derivative concept that is based on the ultimate causative power in history: sex. Marx‘s famous formulation must be revised: The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of struggles based on the division of our species into two sexes, jealousies emanating from this division, exaggerations of the differences between the sexes, misunderstandings about sexual reproductive power, and metaphors derived from sex. Together, these closely related matters constitute the most important, but largely neglected, set of motive forces in human history. Control -- or the claim of control -- over the means of reproduction has been even more fundamental to history than has control of the means of production.' - Robert McElvaine, Eve's Seed: Biology, the Sexes and the Course of History “We must all understand that the most potent weapons of war are the penis and the womb. Therefore, if you cannot convince a group to control its population by discussion, debate, intelligent analysis etc., you must consider their action in using the penis and the womb to increase population an act of war.” - Former Municipal Court Judge Jason G. Brent; Humans: An Endangered Species

The online briefing paper Control of Reproduction: Human Factory
Farming War Economy Racket (PDF118), documents detailed evidence for the following facts, should any of the facts be disputed: [86.1]
Fact
#1:
Civilized
Patriarchy’s
AnthroCorpocentric
Jurisprudence
frequently legislates licensing laws to ensure competence or protect consumers. [86.2]
Fact #2: AnthroCorpocentric Legal doctrine has legislated licensing laws
related to gun ownership, driving a car, practicing law, watching television, obtaining credit, earning a living as a professional, fishing, hunting, selling liquor, operating a business, getting married, etc. [86.3]
Fact #3: AnthroCorpocentric Jurisprudence has avoided legislating licensing
procreation laws to (a) protect unwanted and unloved children from being procreated;
118

30
and/or (b) to require citizens to maintain their procreation factor footprint below carrying capacity levels. [86.4]
Fact #4: Significant historical evidence exists of Masculine Insecurity
Patriarchy’s obsession with controlling women’s reproduction powers – subservient status as human factory farming brood sows – for the purposes of breeding unwanted and unloved children, as economic and/or vote or cannon fodder surplus populations for the socio-political benefits of the patriarchal elite. [86.5]
Fact #5: Significant historical evidence exists of Masculine Insecurity
Patriarchy’s obsession – from Houari Boumediene, Yasser Arafat, Dr. Khalid Muhammad, to Nelson Mandela’s ANC and Adolf Hitler’s Nazi party – with using the Control of Reproduction as a Breeding War Weapon of War. [86.6]
Fact #6: Factions of the civilized patriarchy elite socio-politically and
economically profit from their Control of Reproduction jurisprudence absence of a Breeding/Parenting License, enabling a Surplus Cannon Fodder Population for profitable conquering and culling acts of theft and murder, as part of civilized patriarchy’s Human Factory Farming War Economy. [86.7]
Fact #7: Factions of the civilized patriarchy elite socio-politically and
economically profit from their Control of Reproduction jurisprudence absence of a Breeding/Parenting License, enabling a welfare vote farm Surplus Vote-Fodder population, economically and psychologically co-dependent upon their civilized patriarchy Foxy Liberal masters. [86.8]
Conclusion: Civilized patriarchy’s control of reproduction is a most
profitable human factory farming vote and cannon fodder war economy racket.

[87]
The online briefing paper Control of Consumption: Global Corporate
Cultural Imperialism Racket (PDF120), documents detailed evidence for the following facts, should any of the facts be disputed: [87.1]
Fact #1: Global Corporate Capitalism primary ideology is exponential
growth, reflected in its GDP Economic Growth religious fundamentalism. Civilized patriarchy jurisprudence has placed no boundary licensing limitations to restrict extraction and production of non-renewable or renewable resources to sustainable below carrying capacity levels. [87.2]
Fact #2: Culturally Corporate Capitalism’s exponential Consumptionism
ideology manifests as Compulsive Developmentism Cultural Imperialism. Cultural Imperialism is considered by some to be a useful consumptive weapon of war. [87.3]
Fact #3: Global Corporate Capitalism’s Compulsive Developmentism
Cultural Imperialism is the sponsor and primary profiteer of the corporate cultural ideology referred to as ‘multiculturalism’. [87.4]
Fact #4: Factions of the civilized patriarchy elite profit socio-politically and
economically from the absence of any carrying capacity restrictions to consumption, and from using Consumptionism, compulsive developmentism and multiculturalism as cultural consumptive weapons of war, for their own profits. [87.5]
Conclusion: Civilized patriarchy’s control of consumption is a most
profitable corporate cultural imperialist racket.

Tragedy of the Commons Consequences of Civilized Patriarchy’s Control of Reproduction and Consumption: SS-DEFCON 3: Ecological Overshoot “If you really think the environment is less important than the economy try holding your breath while counting your money.” - Dr. Guy McPherson. “Within this culture wealth is measured by one's ability to consume and destroy.” ― Derrick Jensen, Endgame, Vol. 1: The Problem of Civilization “There is something fundamentally wrong in treating the earth as if it was a business in liquidation.” - Herman Daly, Earth in the Balance “Mining is like a search-and-destroy mission.” - Stewart Udall, former US secretary of the Interior “You treasure most what you have lost. In Europe, unspoilt wilderness is very rare, hence people are more interested in preservation than people in the American West, which have not yet lost it.” - Steen Hansen Hviid
[88] The Tragedy of the Commons is an ecological concept that refers to the depletion of a shared resource by individuals, acting independently and rationally according to each one's self-interest, despite their understanding that depleting the common resource is contrary to their long-term best interests. Ecologist Garrett Hardin famously explored this social dilemma in “The Tragedy of the Commons”. 121 Hardin concluded that in the absence of restricting the consequences of the ‘tragedy of the commons’, by reducing the rights to consumption and procreation, to below carrying capacity limits, they would eventually be restricted by nuclear war.

Drivers of Planetary Changes:
[92] Demographics and Consumption above Carrying Capacity Limits: Over the past two centuries, both the human population and the economic wealth of the world have grown rapidly. These two factors have increased resource consumption significantly, registered in agriculture and food production, forestry, industrial development, transport and international commerce, energy production, urbanisation and even recreational activities. [93] In the developed world, affluence, and more importantly the demand for a broad range of goods and services such as entertainment, mobility, and communication, is placing significant demands on global resources. Between 1970 and 1997, the global consumption of energy increased by 84%, and consumption of materials also increased dramatically. While the global population more than doubled in the second half of the last century, grain production tripled, energy consumption quadrupled, and economic activity quintupled. Although much of this accelerating economic activity and energy consumption occurred in developed countries, the developing world is beginning to play a larger role in the global economy and hence is having increasing impacts on resources and environment.
Planetary Boundaries: A Safe Operating Space for Humanity: [94] The Earth system responds in complex ways to external forces. The most obvious external force is the energy from the sun, which changes over time. On timescales of hundreds of thousands of years, the Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position relative to the sun alters slightly, changing the amount of energy we receive. The Earth system responds to this external force by cycling between ice ages and warm periods in a regular pattern. [95] After the last ice age, which finished 12,000 years ago, the Earth system settled into a relatively stable warm period that has allowed human society to grow and develop, eventually becoming a global force. Without significant external interference, this period would have likely persisted for several thousand years to come. [96] In 2009, researchers (Rockstrom, 2009136) made the first attempt to define planetary boundaries associated with thresholds or tipping points in the Earth

system that threaten the current state. They identified nine interconnected boundaries. Ensuring these boundaries are respected, the authors argue, will reduce the risk of crossing dangerous thresholds that push the Earth system into a new state. But the authors also state that human activity has already driven the Earth system across three boundaries: climate, biodiversity loss and nitrogen use¹.
SS-DEFCON 3: Ecological Overshoot Jurisprudence “Surely by now there can be few here who still believe the purpose of government is to protect us from the destructive activities of corporations. At last most of us must understand that the opposite is true: that the primary purpose of government is to protect those who run the economy from the outrage of injured citizens.” ― Derrick Jensen, Endgame, Vol. 1: The Problem of Civilization

The online briefing paper SS DEFCON 3: Ecological Overshoot (PDF137),
documents detailed evidence for the following facts, should any of the facts be disputed: [98]
Fact #1: Humans live on a planet with finite resources.
[99]
Fact #2: Ecological laws dictate that any conscious species living in an ecosystem
with finite resources, that wishes to avoid ecological overshoot, and the scarcity conflict consequences of overshoot, should enact legislation that limit their citizens procreation or consumption from transgressing cultural carrying capacity. [100]
Fact #3: Civilized Patriarchy’s Legal Matrix constitutions enable the licensing of
numerous behaviours, but avoid licences limiting procreation and consumption to below carrying capacity levels to avoid ecological overshoot, and the scarcity-conflict consequences of overshoot. [101]
Fact #4: Legislation which intentionally limits procreation and consumption to
below a specific identified – footprint, population density, thermodynamic or biological – carrying capacity levels is intentionally focussed on Sustainable Peaceful Procreation, Consumption and Production; whereas legislation which intentionally avoids limiting procreation and consumption to any reference of carrying capacity levels is intentionally focussed on Unsustainable Scarcity-Conflict Procreation, Consumption and Production. [102]
Fact #5: The worlds civilized patriarchy Legal Matrix constitutions argue – by
omission – that the earth is flat, resources are infinite and that citizens have a ‘god given’ right to procreate and consume, with (a) total disregard for ecological principles of ecological overshoot of carrying capacity limits; and (b) total unaccountability for the scarcity-conflict consequences of their breeding and consuming above carrying capacity choices. [103]
Fact # 6: Civilized patriarchy’s control of reproduction human factory farming
war economy racket and control of consumption corporate cultural imperialist racket and carte blanche ‘Innocence for Sale’ Indulgences to the Civilized Patriarchy corporate elite for their Socialized Corporate Externality Costs: Trillion Dollar Thefts from Global Natural Capital Commons138; has resulted in ecological overshoot of carrying capacity by between 700 to 400,000 percent139, which is destroying the Planet’s Natural Capital, with devastating current and impending ‘scarcity-conflict’ death spiral consequences140; as manifested in the crossing of urgent Planetary http://tygae.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/8/7/13878165/13-07-20_ssd-3_e-overshoot.pdf http://tygae.weebly.com/corp-externalities.html 139 http://tygae.weebly.com/ecological-overshoot.html 140 http://sqswans.weebly.com/rapid-population-decline.html

SS-DEFCON 2: Scarcity – Conflict Nitrogen Cycle - Dead Zones: [105] The number of observed “dead zones”, coastal sea areas where water oxygen levels have dropped too low to support most marine life, has roughly doubled each decade since the 1960s. Many are concentrated near the estuaries of major rivers, and result from the buildup of nutrients, largely carried from inland agricultural areas where fertilizers are washed into watercourses. The nutrients promote the growth of algae that die and decompose on the seabed, depleting the water of oxygen and threatening fisheries, livelihoods and tourism.150

Biodiversity Tipping Point: “Continuing emissions contravene international laws regarding crimes against humanity and related International covenants. In the absence of an effective global mitigation effort, governments world-wide are now presiding over the demise of future generations and of nature, tracking toward one of the greatest mass extinction events nature has seen.

A major report, the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment154, released in March
2005 highlighted a substantial and largely irreversible loss in the diversity of life on Earth155, with some 10-30% of the mammal, bird and amphibian species threatened with extinction, due to human actions. [107] The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) notes in a video156 at threat of extinction are: (i) 1 out of 8 birds; (ii) 1 out of 4 mammals; (iii) 1 out of 4 conifers; (iv) 1 out of 3 amphibians; (v) 6 out of 7 marine turtles; (vi) 75% of genetic diversity of agricultural crops has been lost; (vii) 75% of the world’s fisheries are fully or over exploited; (viii) Up to 70% of the world’s known species risk extinction if the Diaz RJ, Rosenberg R.

The third Global Biodiversity Outlook (GBO-3) published by the Convention on
Biological Diversity (CBD) warns that the worlds eco-systems are at risk of â&#x20AC;&#x153;rapid degradation and collapseâ&#x20AC;?, unless "swift, radical and creative action" is taken "massive further loss is increasingly likely." [109]
Global Biodiversity Outlook 3 defines a tipping point as a situation in which an
ecosystem experiences a shift to a new state, with significant changes to biodiversity and the services to people it underpins, at a regional or global scale.
The mounting pressures on biodiversity risks pushing some ecosystems into new states, with severe ramifications for human wellbeing as tipping points are crossed. While the precise location of tipping points is difficult to determine, once an ecosystem moves into a new state it can be very difficult, if not impossible, to return it to its former state.

Several eco-systems including the Amazon rainforest, freshwater lakes and
rivers and coral reefs are approaching a "tipping point" which, if reached, may see them never recover. With more than 30 per cent of the Earth's land surface used for agricultural production, some natural habitats have been shrinking by more than 20 per cent since the 1980s. The world lost over 100 million hectares of forest from 2000 to 2005, and has lost 20 per cent of its sea grass and mangrove habitats since 1970 and 1980 respectively. In some regions, 95 per cent of wetlands have been lost. Twothirds of the world's largest rivers are now moderately to severely fragmented by
41
dams and reservoirs. Vertebrate populations have declined on average by 30 per cent since 1970; around 20 per cent of vertebrate species are now under threat. The extinction risk is increasing faster for corals than for any other group of living organisms, with the condition of coral reefs declining by 38 per cent since 1980. Vertebrate species fell by nearly one third between 1970 and 2006, natural habitats are in decline, genetic diversity of crops is falling and sixty breeds of livestock have become extinct since 2000. [111]
Nick Nuttall, a U.N. Environmental Program spokesman, said the cost of eco-
systems degradation is huge: "In terms of land-use change, it's thought that the annual financial loss of services eco-systems provide -- water, storing carbon and soil stabilization -- is about €50 billion ($64 billion) a year. If this continues we may well see by 2050 a cumulative loss of what you might call land-based natural capital of around €95 trillion ($121 trillion). If we start putting these figures on the table, then governments might actually wake up to this. We've had a financial crisis. We've also got a natural resource scarcity crisis looming fast."
Peak Non-Renewable Natural Resources Tipping Point: Scarcity: [112]
Mr. Chris Clugston’s157 Domestic (US) & Global NNR Scarcity Analysis is based
upon his analysis of the criticality and scarcity associated with each of the 89 analyzed NNRs, using data from USGS, EIA, BEA, BLS, Fed, CBO, FBI, IEA, UN, World Bank, etc; and concludes in general that “absent some combination of immediate and drastic reductions in our global NNR utilization levels, ... we will experience escalating international and intranational conflicts during the coming decades over increasingly scarce NNR‘s, which will devolve into global societal collapse, almost certainly by the year 2050.”158 [113] NNR’s which have peaked and in decline ‘at risk’ – i.e. years to global exhaustion of reserves – are: (a) Antimony: 8 yrs (used for starter lights ignition batteries in cars and trucks; (b) Bauxite: 40 years (only economically viable feedstock for aluminium); (c) Bismuth: 17 years (non-toxic substitute for lead in solder and plumbing fixtures); (d) Cadmium: 25 years; (e) Chromium: 26 years (stainless steel, jet engines and gas turbines); (f) Coal: 40 years (electricity generation); (g) Cobalt: 26 years (gas turbine blades, jet aircraft engines, batteries); (h) Copper: 27 years; (i) Fluorspar: 23 years (feedstock for fluorine bearing chemicals, aluminium and uranium processing); (j) Graphite (Natural): 23 years; (k) Iron Ore: 15 years (only feedstock for iron and steel); (l) 157 Clugston, Chris: Scarcity: Humanity‘s Final Chapter: The realities, choices and likely outcomes associated with everincreasing non-renewable natural resource scarcity (Booklocker.com Inc 2012). 158 Clugston, C: Scarcity: Preface, pg. ix

Land Use Tipping Point: [114]
Human population growth and per-capita consumption rate underlie all of the
other present drivers of global change. As a result of human activities, direct localscale forcings have accumulated to the extent that indirect, global-scale forcings of biological change have now emerged. Direct forcing includes the conversion of ~43% of Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land to agricultural or urban landscapes, with much of the remaining natural landscapes networked with roads. This exceeds the physical transformation
43
that occurred at the last global-scale critical transition, when ~30% of Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface went from being covered by glacial ice to being ice free.
Thermodynamic Footprint Tipping Point: [115]
The unit of the Human Equivalent or HE is similar to the concept of the "energy
slave".
Each of us represents the operation of some quantity of primary energy
within our environment.
That energy (plus the food an individual consumes)
represents the work of a number of "human equivalents", a number that is given by our Thermodynamic Footprint. [116]
World Thermodynamic Footprint Since 1800:
[117]
By multiplying the average global TF figure by the actual world population, we
can find the "Human Equivalent" population of the world over time.
This value
reflects both our increasing energy consumption and our growing world population. It is a measure of the increasing planetary impact of the combined growth in our technology, activity and numbers.
44
[118]
In 1800 the actual world population was just under 1 billion, while the "Human
Equivalent" population was just over a billion.
[119]
By 2010, the world's numeric population was 6.85 billion, while the "Human
Equivalent" population had ballooned to the staggering level of over 135 billion people.
This means that the planetary systems are now experiencing an impact
equivalent to 135 billion hunter-foragers living and working with muscle, wood and animal power alone.
45
[120]
A world population decline will be triggered and fed by our civilization's
encounter with limits. These limits may show up in any area: accelerating climate change, weather extremes, shrinking food supplies, fresh water depletion, shrinking energy supplies, pandemic diseases, breakdowns in the social fabric due to excessive complexity, supply chain breakdowns, electrical grid failures, a breakdown of the international financial system, international hostilities - the list of candidates is endless, and their interactions are far too complex to predict. [121]
It's also important to remember that the decline will probably not happen
anything like this, either. With climate change getting ready to push humanity down the stairs, and the strong possibility that the overall global temperature will rise by 5 or 6 degrees Celsius even before the end of that first decline cycle, our prospects do not look even this "good" from where I stand. [122]
We can attempt to voluntarily mitigate our path to sustainability, by
implementing Deindustrialization, Population and Consumption Reduction policies, or we can simply do nothing and wait for the collapse of our natural capital and our collision with impending Ecological Apocalypse. If and when it happens, it will follow its own dynamic, and the force of events could easily make the Japanese and Andaman tsunamis seem like pleasant days at the beach.
SS-DEFCON 2: Scarcity – Conflict Jurisprudence “The seventh principle of humanitarian action in armed conflict says: “Contextualization: Effective humanitarian action should encompass a comprehensive view of overall needs and of the impact of interventions. Encouraging respect for human rights and addressing the underlying causes of conflicts are essential elements.” - Dec 1994: Dept of the Army, Field Manual 100-23, Peace Operations. “There is also a new and different threat to our national security emerging—the destruction of our environment. The defense establishment has a clear stake in this growing threat... one of our key national security objectives must be to reverse the accelerating pace of environmental destruction.” - Senator Sam Nunn (D-GA), Senate, June 28, 1990 “This monograph argues that the Army is unprepared for the implications of environmental scarcity as a cause of violent conflict. The proof follows in the next three chapters. Chapter Two provides a conceptual model for examining the causal relationship between environmental scarcity and violent conflict. It shows causation by answering two questions. First, does scarcity cause specific social effects, such as population migration and poverty? Second, so the social effects that result
46
from scarcity cause violent conflict? [..] [This chapter concludes that conflicts arising from environmental scarcity will occur more frequently in the future and threaten U.S. national security interests. Third, does doctrine address conflicts caused by environmental scarcities? The doctrinal review reveals that the Army does not recognize environmental scarcity as a cause of conflict. Chapter Four synthesizes the findings from the preceding chapters, showing that the Army is intellectually unprepared for conflicts caused by environmental scarcity. The monograph ends with two recommendations. First, the Army should recognize environmental causes of war in its doctrine. Second, the Army should adopt the Modified Conflict Causality Model as a doctrinal tool for predicting and evaluating future conflicts.â&#x20AC;? - Major William E David, Environmental Scarcity as a Cause of Violent Conflict, School of Advanced Military Studies; United States Army Command and General Staff College; April 1996
[123]
The online briefing paper SS DEFCON 2: Scarcity-Conflict (PDF159),
documents detailed evidence for the following facts, should any of the facts be disputed: [124]
Fact #1: When citizens procreate and/or consume unsustainably above carrying
capacity levels, ecological overshoot occurs, resulting in scarcity and aggravating scarcity induced resource conflicts. [125]
Fact #2: If legislators or jurists were sincere, serious and committed to reducing
scarcity induced resource war conflicts, they would explore legislation to limit the over-procreation and/or consumption root causes of ecological overshoot induced scarcity. [126]
Fact #3: Legislators sincere about legislation to limit conflict resulting from
ecological overshoot induced scarcity would explore legislation to determine: (A) Procreation footprint: how many children per family maintains procreation levels below carrying capacity and leads to sustainable peace? (B) Production Footprint: How much exploitation and production of non-renewable and renewable natural resources maintains production below carrying capacity and leads to sustainable peace? (C) Consumption Footprint: How much individual consumption maintains consumption levels below carrying capacity and leads to sustainable peace? [127]
Fact #4: Scarcity-Conflict issues focussed on the consequences of procreating and
consuming above carrying capacity limits, and their overshoot-scarcity-conflict consequences have been researched and are of concern to academics, ecologists and military officialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s individuals concerned about national security issues; however legislators and jurists have and continue to avoid exploring ecology of peace 159

legislation to limit procreation and consumption to levels below carrying capacity limits; to reduce scarcity induced resource conflicts. [128]
Fact #5: Civilized Patriarchy’s global AnthroCorpocentric Jurisprudence Suicide
Freight Train, which has driven society into between 700-400,000 % ecological overshoot, has as much chance of muddling through the coming ‘Falling Man Syndrome’ crisis of Conflict, as an individual sitting in an unbelted car crash. (NonLinearity and Social Conflict160)

Fact #6: The public in general are ecologically illiterate: they are unable to make
informed environmental decisions, and ignorant about the ecological overshoot state of our planet, and its impending scarcity-conflict consequences, as a result the Media’s Censorship of Environment-Scarcity-Conflict contextual information. [130]
Fact #7: Media Censorship of Environment-Scarcity-Conflict refers to a corporate
media socialized externality cost. Like all corporations, media corporations work to maximize their profits, by maximizing revenues while minimizing costs, by externalizing – avoid paying – as many costs as possible, externalizing them to society. Journalists are aware of how population and consumption affect ecological overshoot, scarcity and scarcity induced conflict, but avoid including such context to socio-political problem stories, because it directly and indirectly161
conflicts with
their population and consumption growth profit motives. Numerous studies such as Dr. Michael Maher’s study: How and Why Journalists Avoid Population Environment Connection (PDF162), document how the mainstream media consciously censors the population/consumption-overshoot-scarcity-conflict contextual connection in their reporting on environment, scarcity and conflict related events. Dr. Maher did a random sample of 150 stories about urban sprawl, endangered species and water shortages, and found that only 1 in ten framed population growth as a source of the problem. Other studies conducted by Media Matters in the US show that (i) in recent 2013 wildfire coverage, only 6 percent of total wildfire items mentioned climate change163; (ii) in Midwest flood coverage, only 3 percent of stories mentioned climate change164; (iii) in 2012, the nightly news covered the royal family more than climate change165; (iv) a recent study documenting the warmest year on record received cool media coverage166, almost entirely censoring scientists from climate change discussion167; (v) in 2012, the Kardashians got 40 times more news coverage than
Advertisers prefer not to advertise in news media which honestly encourage readers to consume responsibly, by contextually linking the role of overconsumption to the ecological overshoot socio-political problems being experienced by citizens. Many citizens indoctrinated with political correct thinking, also marketed by media and corporations, prefer not to offend readers who prefer to be ecologically illiterate intellectual ostriches who are not confronted with the reality that their consumption and procreation contributes to problems resulting from ecological overshoot. Such readers/viewers would prefer to be told that their consumption or procreation above carrying capacity limits has nothing to do with ecological overshoot related socio-political problems, which are someone else’s fault, preferably someone else from a different ethnicity, culture, religion or ideology. 162 Maher: How and Why Journalists Avoid Population-Environment Connection http://issuu.com/js-ror/docs/mahertm_journo-env-pop-connection 163 (i) Fitzsimmons Jill (9 May 2013) (ii) Greenberg Max (3 July 2013) 164 Fitzsimmons Jill (7 May 2013) 165 Fitzsimmons Jill (14 May 2013): 166 (i) Fitzsimmons Jill (8 January 2013); (ii) Fitzsimmons Jill (11 March 2013) 167 Fitzsimmons Jill (15 August 2012) 161

Fact #8: Civilized Patriarchy’s global AnthroCorpocentric Jurisprudence Suicide
Freight Train Falling Man Syndrome belief that it is unnecessary to legislate carrying capacity restrictions on procreation and consumption, because “in 200 years, our Right to Breed and consume has resulted in the exponential consumption of over half of the Earth's resources, and nothing bad has happened yet”; is ecologically and scientifically equivalent to a man who has been pushed out of a 150 story building, passing the window of the 60th story, calling out to a friend “‘I’ve fallen 90 stories in the past 5 seconds and nothing bad has happened yet”. [132]
Conclusion: It can be safely said that sufficient academic, ecological evidence and
military doctrine concern exists to suggest the urgent military necessity of courts to investigate holding prosecutors and legislators criminally responsible for the absence of carrying capacity limits legislation, or to enact carrying capacity limits jurisprudence to restrict citizens rights to breed and consume to below carrying capacity levels; to pull the parachute ripcord and slow the descent of the ecological overshoot – scarcity – conflict – economic collapse freight train’s descent towards its collision with the ecological sustainability iceberg.

[133] From what scientists know now, it is possible that Venus and Mars started out a lot like Earth. At some point in time, each planet followed a path that changed its climate. The transition was from Earth-like to either a cloudy inferno (Venus) or a frigid desert (Mars). Data from Venus Express and Mars express is now helping scientists determine if, when and why each planet passed the point of no-return.172
Earth’s precarious ‘Greenhouse Effect’ position in the Habitable Zone: [134] The Habitable Zone: To be habitable, a planet the size of Earth should be within certain distances from its Sun, in order for liquid water to exist on its surface, for which temperatures must be between freezing point (0° C) and boiling point (100° C) of water. [135] In the Wikipedia image, the dark green zone indicates that a planet the size of Earth could possess liquid water, which is essential since carbon compounds dissolved in water form the basis of all earthly life, so watery planets are good candidates to support similar carbon-based biochemistries. [136] If a planet is too far away from the star that heats it, water will freeze. The habitable zone can be extended (light green color) for larger terrestrial planets that could hold on to thicker atmospheres which could theoretically provide sufficient warming and pressure to maintain water at a greater distance from the parent star. A planet closer to its star than the inner edge of the habitable zone will be too hot. Any water present will boil away or be lost into space entirely. Rising temperatures caused by greenhouse gases could lead to a moist greenhouse with similar results.
[137]
[138] The distance between Earth and the Sun is one astronomical unit (1 AU). Mars is often said to have an average distance from the Sun of 1.52 AU. A recent study led by Ravi Kopparapu at Penn State mentions that early Mars was warm enough for liquid water to flow on its surface. However, the present-day solar flux at Mars distance is 0.43 times that of Earth. Therefore, the solar flux received by Mars at 3.8 Gyr was 0.75 × 0.43 = 0.32 times that of Earth. The corresponding outer habitable 172

51
zone limit today, then, would be about 1.77 AU, i.e. just a bit too far away from the Sun to sustain water in liquid form. Venus, on the other hand, is too close to the Sun.Kopparapu calculates that the Solar System’s habitable zone lies between 0.99 AU (92 million mi, 148 million km) and 1.70 AU (158 million mi, 254 million km) from the Sun. In other words, Earth is on the edge of runaway warming.
K opparapu et al. New calculations show that Earth is positioned on the edge of the habitable zone (green-shaded region), boundaries of which are determined by the moist-greenhouse (inner edge, higher flux values) and maximum greenhouse (outer edge, lower flux values)
[139] Kopparapu says that if current IPCC temperature projections of a 4 degrees K (or Celsius) increase by the end of this century are correct, our descendants could start seeing the signatures of a moist greenhouse by 2100. [140] Kopparapu argues that once the atmosphere makes the transition to a moist greenhouse, not only are the ozone layers and ice caps destroyed, but the oceans would begin evaporating into the atmosphere's upper stratosphere, resulting in the ‘greenhouse effect’. [141]
Venus and the Greenhouse Effect:
52
[142] In Venus' runaway greenhouse effect a warning for Earth173, Sam Carana explains how the greenhouse effect affected Venus. [143] Venus was transformed from a haven for water to a fiery hell by a runaway greenhouse effect, concludes the European Space Agency (ESA), after studying data from the Venus Express, which has been orbiting Venus since April 2006. [144] Venus today is a hellish place with surface temperatures of over 400째C (752째Fahrenheit), winds blowing at speeds of over 100 m/s (224 mph) and pressure a hundred times that on Earth, a pressure equivalent, on Earth, to being one km (0.62 miles) under the sea. [145] Hakan Svedhem, ESA scientist and lead author of one of eight studies published on Wednesday in the British journal Nature, says that Earth and Venus have nearly the same mass, size and density, and have about the same amount of carbon dioxide. In the past, Venus was much more Earth-like and was partially covered with water, like oceans, the ESA scientists believe. [146] How could a world so similar to Earth have turned into such a noxious and inhospitable place? The answer is planetary warming. At some point, atmospheric carbon triggered a runaway warming on Venus that boiled away the oceans. As water vapour is a greenhouse gas, this further trapped solar heat, causing the planet to heat up even 173
Carana Sam (28 Nov 2007):
53
more. So, more surface water evaporated, and eventually dissipated into space. It was a “positive feedback” -- a vicious circle of self-reinforcing warming which slowly desiccated the planet. [147] “Eventually the oceans began to boil”, said David Grinspoon, a Venus Express interdisciplinary scientist from the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, Colorado, USA. “You wound up with what we call a runaway greenhouse effect”, Hakan Svedhem says. Venus Express found hydrogen and oxygen ions escaping in a two to one ratio, meaning that water vapour in the atmosphere the little that is left of what they believe were once oceans is still disappearing. [148] While most of Earth's carbon store remained locked up in the soil, rocks and oceans, on Venus it went into the atmosphere, resulting in Venus' atmosphere now consisting of about 95% carbon dioxide. [149] “Earth is moving along the curve that connects it to Venus”, warns Dmitry Titov, science coordinator of the Venus Express mission.
“The rate of change is happening at 300 times faster than any other extinction time in earth history, except that of the Asteroidal impact. [On feedback loops] The distinction between just a feedback process and a runaway feedback process is very, very important indeed. You can have feedback that slowly increases, if you like, the risk and puts the temperature up a bit higher. Runaway feedback says the system responds so much to an increase in temperature that it becomes faster in the way it changes the climate with rising temperature. So the hotter it gets, the faster it gets hotter, and the hotter it gets, the faster it gets hotter faster, until you move into a process that’s completely uncontrollable. And instead of coming up to a new
54
equilibrium temperature that may be a bit high, it goes on going up faster and faster until something runs out—there’s no more methane to release or we’ve run out of forests to burn or something … The danger of moving into a runaway climate change scenario is now clear and is beginning to be quantified in the last few months. It’s probably the greatest threat that we face as a planet.” (from 11:15ff.) - Artic Methane: Why the Sea Ice Matters174
A few of Global Civilized Patriarchy’s ‘Innocence for Sale’ – Control of Reproduction and Consumption Indulgence’s -’Irrelevant’ Corporate Thieving Statistics “An externality arises when a person engages in an activity that influences the well-being of a bystander and yet neither pays nor receives any compensation for that effect” (Mankiw, Principles of Economics, Fourth Edition, p. 204). “In the market, as firms work to maximize their profits, they strive to maximize revenues while minimizing costs. A sure-fire way to minimize costs is to externalize as many of them as possible. In practice, if a corporation wants to minimize the costs of environmental protection, it can move its operation to a nation with lax environmental laws. It can do the same or find various “innovative” ways to avoid paying other costs, while passing them on to the rest of society. In the context of today’s economic game, this is a sound strategy. If the objective of the game is profit maximization, then a winning player will externalize as many costs as possible.” - Rob Dietz, 30 April 2012, Negative externalities are the norm175, Resilience “Once we know and are aware, we are responsible for our action and our inaction. We can do something about it or ignore it. Either way, we are still responsible.” Jean Paul Sartre, as quoted by Jochen Zeits, Executive Chairman of PUMA SE and Chief Sustainability Officer of PPR; PUMA’s Environmental Profit and Loss Account for the year ended 31 December 2010176
[150]
So a negative externality occurs when an economic activity produces harm, and
the people suffering from that harm receive no compensation. And if that externality http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSsPHytEnJM http://www.resilience.org/stories/2012-04-30/negative-externalities-are-norm# 176 http://about.puma.com/wp-content/themes/aboutPUMA_theme/financial-report/pdf/EPL080212final.pdf

helped to generate a profit, effectively whoever receives that profit is in receipt of stolen profit, for services other people, ecosystems or animals were not paid for. [151]
Since one of the easiest ways to maximize profits is to minimize the costs of
environmental protection, and finding innovative ways to avoid paying externality costs, while passing them onto society; its safe to assume that a significant number of winning corporations are those who have externalized as many costs as possible. [152]
As corporations get better and better at this game of externalizing
environmental and social costs, they accrue higher and higher profits and gain more and more influence. This influence often extends into the legislative bodies and regulatory agencies that could, in theory, prevent the inefficiency and injustice associated with negative externalities. It has become politically challenging, to say the least, for a government to place an externality-correcting tax on a corporate activity.177 [153]
Here follow a few economic assessments of corporate externalities, a general fair
conclusion which can be reached from them, would be that for any major multinational corporation in the top 100 of its sector, its externalities can be as little as 30% of profits, to as much as more than 100% of profits. Using an average of 50% of profits, is a fair generalization. [154]

Business178: “100 biggest natural capital risks are costing the economy around $4.7 trillion per year in terms of the environmental and social costs of lost ecosystem services and pollution. ..[..] .. Many of these natural capital costs are found in the developing world, but the resulting goods and services are being consumed by resource intensive supply chains around the planet – thus it is a global challenge for a globalized world. For example, your suppliers may be using water from unsustainable sources, causing damage to business critical ecosystem services or generating health hazards from air pollution.” [154.2] A.

Trucost (April 2013): Natural Capital at Risk: The Top 100 Externalities for
Business179: “This study monetizes the value of unpriced natural capital consumed by primary production (agriculture, forestry, fisheries, mining, oil and gas exploration, utilities)
and
some
primary
processing
(cement,
steel,
pulp
and
paper,
petrochemicals) in the global economy through standard operating practices, excluding catastrophic events. For each sector in each region (region-sector), it estimates the natural capital cost broken down by six environmental key performance indicators (EKPIs), and a ranking of the top 100 costs is developed from this. [155.2]
Conclusions: The primary production and primary processing sectors
analyzed in this study are estimated to have un-priced natural capital costs totalling US $7.3 Trillion which equates to 13% of global economic output in 2009. [155.3]
The majority of unpriced natural capital costs are from greenhouse gas
emissions (38%) followed by water use (25%); land use (24%) and water pollution (5%) and waste (1%). [155.4] A.

Subject to adaptive capabilities, this will cause them to pass on these costs to customers. Region sectors most at risk include coal power generation in Eastern Asia, Wheat farming in Southern Asia, and Cattle Ranching in South America and Southern Asia. [156.2]
GHGs from coal power generation in Eastern Asia contribute the largest
environmental impact, followed by land use linked to cattle farming in South America. The most significant impacts making up the US$4.7 trillion are GHGs (36%), water use (26%) and land use (25%). [156.3]

Water that is directly abstracted from surface or groundwater is rarely paid for adequately if at all, and its substantial value to society varies according to its regional scarcity. Abstracted water was valued according to national water availability. Rates of water use take into account national irrigation rates for agriculture, which is responsible for the vast majority of global water use, and local recycling rates and distribution losses for the water supply sector.

It is a condemnation of the unchecked male ego, rather than a rigid fiesta of all things phallocentric.” - Dasho Karma Ura, president of the Centre for Bhutan Studies in the capital of Thimpu202 Lama Drukpa Kunley lived in the 15-16th century and was known in Bhutan, as the “Mad Saint” or “Divine Madman” or “Madman from Kyishodruk” for his unorthodox ways of painting Thunderbolt of Flaming Wisdom Erect Phallus’ on walls, to shock the uppity and prudish Buddhist clergy. Traditionally erect penis symbols in Bhutan were to drive away evil spirits & malicious gossip.
[192]
It is relevant that Ecological laws dictate that any conscious species living in an
ecosystem with finite resources, that wishes to avoid ecological overshoot, and the scarcity conflict consequences of overshoot, should enact legislation that limit their citizens procreation or consumption from transgressing cultural carrying capacity. [193]
It is relevant that Civilized Patriarchy’s Legal Matrix constitutions enable the
licensing of numerous behaviours, but avoid licences limiting procreation and consumption to below carrying capacity levels to avoid ecological overshoot, and the scarcity-conflict environmental and national security consequences of ecological overshoot. [194]
It is relevant that if legislators were sincere about legislation to limit conflict
resulting from ecological overshoot induced scarcity would explore legislation to determine: (A) Procreation footprint: how many children per family maintains procreation levels below carrying capacity and leads to sustainable peace? (B) Production Footprint: How much exploitation and production of non-renewable and renewable natural resources maintains production below carrying capacity and leads to sustainable peace?
(C)
Consumption Footprint: How much individual
consumption maintains consumption levels below carrying capacity and leads to sustainable peace? [195]
It is relevant that legislators, lawyers, courts and judges defy the laws of
ecology with a massive ‘fuck you’, by legislating, interpreting and enforcing Legal

Matrix doctrine, that encourages citizens to breed and consume above cultural carrying capacity limits. [196]
It is relevant that legislators, lawyers, courts and judges know that legislation
which ignores carrying capacity limits results in ecological overshoot, surplus votecannon-fodder populations, economic hierarchical inequality, and scarcity induced local, national and international conflict.
203
[197]
It is relevant that legislators, lawyers, courts and judges know that legislation
which enables ecological overshoot in multi-cultural/ethnic/religious communities, manifests as inter-cultural / ethnic / religious conflict [198]
It is relevant that legislators, lawyers, courts and judges know that inter-
cultural / ethnic conflict is a great divide and conquer tool to manipulate the

proletariat to perceive other cultural/ethnic proletariat as the source of their own overshoot-scarcity-conflict misery. [199]
It is relevant, that Honest Civilized Patriarchy Social Contract jurisprudence
would clearly and explicitly inform its citizens that any Constitution or legislation that grants citizens the inalienable right to breed and consume without regard for ecological carrying capacity limits; is ‘War is Peace’ jurisprudence, which socioeconomically and psycho-politically benefits the socio-political, corporate and media elite. [200]
It is relevant that an honest Civilized Patriarchy War-is-Peace Enlistment
Agreement would inform any citizen that they are Enlisting to become a cannon fodder soldiers to be dispatched to plunder other nation’s resources, because their own country’s ecologically illiterate social contract jurisprudence does not require their fellow citizens to procreate and consume below their nation’s carrying capacity levels. [201]
It is relevant that an honest Civilized Patriarchy War-is-Peace Classified
Information Nondisclosure Agreement would explicitly inform a Military or Intelligence Employee that they are expected to keep the thieving, plundering and mass murder culling consequences secrets of the American civilized patriarchy sociopolitical elite, endorsed by the legal matrix jurists, and an Ecologically Illiterate constitution; to themselves. [202]
It is relevant that in Civilized Patriarchy’s Legal Matrix world, soldiers tasked
with the national security conquering and culling responsibilities, of conquering to thieve another tribe’s resources, and culling population ‘useless eaters’ and ‘oxygen thieves’ surplus population excesses; on behalf of the conquering and culling profiteering demands of civilized patriarchy’s civilian corporate and political elite; constantly find themselves confronted with the conquer-or-culling “Befehl ist Befehl” Catch 22 dilemma: To obey, or not to obey, a ‘Lebensraum’, ‘Difaqane’, ‘Operation Freedumb’ and the thousands like them, order to conquer or cull; since a lawful conquer or culling order, by one group of left/right conquer-and-multiply legal indulgence salesmen, can easily be reinterpreted to be an unlawful order, by another group of opposing left/right conquer-and multiply legal indulgence salesmen; presenting a Catch 22 dilemma from which there is no legal escape. [203]
It
is
relevant
that
Extensive
Environment/Overshoot-Scarcity-Conflict
documentation from military and intelligence agencies, united nations and governments, NGO’s and academic reports, etc, collectively document how legislative failure to restrict humanity’s procreation and consumption to cultural carrying 73
capacity limits, and Legal Matrix Indulgences to Corporations: Socialized Corporate Externality Costs: Trillion Dollar Thefts from Global Natural Capital Commons204, has resulted in humanity’s ecological overshoot of carrying capacity limits by between 700 to 400,000 percent205; which include crossing urgent Planetary Boundary Tipping Points206: (i) Loss of Biodiversity and Species Extinctions207; (ii) Climate Change208; (iii) Nitrogen Cycle209; (iv) Ocean Acidification210; (v) Changes in Land Use211; (vi) Global Freshwater Use212; (vii) State Shift in the Earth’s Biosphere213; (viii) Peak Non-Renewable Natural Resources: Scarcity214; with devastating current climate-resource-scarcity-conflict and refugees, and impending threat multiplier aggravation of crisis of ‘scarcity-conflict’ death spiral consequences. [204]
It is relevant that the public in general are ecologically illiterate of current
Overshoot-Scarcity-Conflict consequences of their procreation and consumption lifestyle’s, such as climate-resource-scarcity-conflict and refugees, and impending threat multiplier aggravation of crisis of ‘scarcity-conflict’ death spiral consequences; and hence unable or unwilling to make informed environmental decisions, as a result of the Media’s Censorship of Overshoot-Scarcity-Conflict contextual information in their reporting on socio-political scarcity and conflict problems resulting from ecological overshoot. For example in Dr. Michael Maher’s study: How and Why Journalists Avoid Population - Environment Connection (PDF215), he took a random sample of 150 stories about urban sprawl, endangered species and water shortages and found that only 1 in ten framed population growth as a source of the problem. Media Matters studies in the US show that (i) in recent 2013 wildfire coverage, only 6 percent of total wildfire items mentioned climate change216; (ii) in Midwest flood coverage, only 3 percent of stories mentioned climate change217; (iii) in 2012, the nightly news covered the royal family more than climate change218; (iv) a recent study documenting the warmest year on record received cool media coverage219,

[205]
It is relevant that Citizens, citizens rights organisations and legislators serious
and sincere about reducing the devastating current environmental and national security climate-resource-scarcity-conflict and refugees consequences from civilized patriarchy’s legislative failure to restrict humanity’s procreation and consumption to cultural carrying capacity limits, and Legal Matrix Indulgences to Corporations: Socialized Corporate Externality Costs: Trillion Dollar Thefts from Global Natural Capital Commons, should educate citizens about the importance of enacting Ecology of Peace legislation to determine: (A) Procreation footprint: how many children per family maintains procreation levels below carrying capacity and leads to sustainable peace? (B) Production Footprint:
How much exploitation and production of non-
renewable and renewable natural resources maintains production below carrying capacity and leads to sustainable peace? (C) Consumption Footprint: How much individual consumption maintains consumption levels below carrying capacity and leads to sustainable peace? [206]
It is relevant that the court should act to free Military National Security
leaders from their duty to protect Ecologically Illiterate Flat Earth unsustainable constitutions that legally, politically and procedurally denies them the opportunity of addressing the root causes of scarcity-conflict threats to national security; by holding legislators and citizens who legislatively or practically endorse unsustainable right to breed and consume legislation, accountable as ‘breeding war’ or ‘consumption war’ scarcity combatants”; and rewarding citizens and legislators who endorse sustainable Ecology of Peace procreation and consumption lifestyle’s or legislation. [207]
Consequently, the proceedings against Defendants NSA, et al should be:

2 SA Constitutional Court ruling of 03 May 2012 in CCT 23-10, reads as follows: "Ms. Lara Johnstone, Member of Radical Honesty Culture and Religion, is admitted as an amicus curiae" 3 http://sqworms.co.nr 4 The Hebrew word for righteousness is Tsedaqah. Tsedaqah is a noun in the feminine form; the masculine form of the word is tsedeq. Tzedek is Hebrew for a righteous person, and also refers to ecological balance. Tsedeq originates from a Semitic word which means to be straight, firm, "steel-like determination of integrity in one's inner being." The Arabic equivalent means to be mature, balanced, and fully developed. In the military context, Ringgren says tsedeq can mean "victory which re-asserts the world's just order." The word tsedeq, in its fullest sense, means "world in balance" both ecologically and politically. 5 Ishmael is the telepathic gorrilla in Daniel Quinn's novels: Ishmael and My Ishmael, which examine mythology, its effect on ethics, and how that relates to sustainability. Ishmael defines: (j) Takers as people often referred to as "civilized," from the culture born in an Agricultural Revolution that began about 10,000 years ago in the Near East. ill) Leavers as people of all other cultures; often derogatorily referred to by Takers as "primitive." The Leavers are the endangered species most critical to the world not because they're humans but because they alone can show the Taker destroyers of the world that there are ways to live in ecological balance. 6 A Guerryllre is a person who engages in Yshmael irregular ecological warfare by engaging in (a) non-violent Leaver Guerryllre Law procreation and consumption lifestyle values; and (b) socio-political support for Leaver Ecological, Animal Rights, Indigenous Rights, Radical Honesty and Transparency Activism, against Taker Individuals and· Corporations. 7 A<:quilibrirex Jurisprudence is Equal & balanced Eco/Anthropocentric law 8 http://www.guerrylla-Iaw.co.nr / http://tygae.weebly.coml 9 CommonSism refers to an ideology of Common Sense Guerrylla Laws for a Sustainable Commons 10 Guerrylla Laws (A) simply and very specifically clarify the difference between the consumption and procreation behaviour of an Unsustainable Taker (Scarcity Combatant) vs a Sustainable Leaver (Eco-Innocent); and are (B) used in courts to (a) provide legal rights and socio-political rewards of recognition to Sustainable Leaver's for their Heroic lifestyle choices and practices; (b) confront Taker Scarcity Combatants of their Breeding / Consumption combatant behaviours aggravation of Scarcity induced socio-economic problems, by means of aggravated legal penalties, in accordance to their 'Taker Scarcity Combatant' status.
