Exclusive to the Aspen Post
By Frosty Wooldridge
As a math and science educator for 20 years, I discovered my classrooms enjoyed smart, average and dumb students. Ten percent smart and 90 percent average and dumb! No matter how much I tried to “raise up” the dumb students, they could not succeed. They lacked the IQs to achieve academic success. Average students plodded along. That pretty much sums up America in the 21st century.
Each week, I write well researched, highly compelling columns to create discussion and debate concerning immigration and overpopulation within the United States and the world. I also write for papers in the United Kingdom and Australia.
My main intention for writing and speaking all over the United States: educate, activate and inspire citizens toward a sustainable civilization in the 21st century.
I write about the number one cause of overpopulation within America: legal and illegal immigration. It’s not about race, creed or color—it’s about the numbers. It’s about unsustainable numbers. It’s about water shortages, energy crisis and climate destabilization.
Within my articles, I encourage ideas and resolutions. I present solutions.
I offer such incredible information as the movie “Blind Spot” www.blindspotdoc.com to help readers all over the country and world—to understand our collective quandary. That movie will change the way you think and help you to understand our ‘predicament’. Such writers as Richard Heinberg with PEAK EVERYTHING and Kunstler’s THE LONG EMERGENCY and Tainter’s WHY COMPLEX CIVILIZATIONS COLLAPSE—really bring home what we face.
But, something interesting happens on my way to work: the Sue Bray’s of the world and other high school dropouts make flippant remarks based on their emotions. “Why should I have to worry about too many people moving to Colorado…we’ve got plenty space and water.” Notice that a donkey “brays” because it doesn’t possess an intelligent thought other than its displeasure at the moment. No one said anything about limiting migration within the United States since, if we stopped all immigration, we would not suffer an overpopulation crisis. Others like Jack Droy mouth off with ‘racism’ and comparisons to men like McGarry—all with emotions rather than logic. But like all high school dropouts, they don’t have a clue about what they speak. Again, Mexico, like my ‘dumb’ students, will add 50 million additional population by 2050. They cannot sustain their 108 million today! If we allow them to migrate to the USA, we cannot sustain ourselves, and the fact is, with the Catholic Church maintaining ‘birth rate’ hegemony, the church will never allow them ‘pull themselves up’ out of poverty. They will suffer more of it at deeper levels.
I’ve already traveled across six continents to see firsthand what I speak about. I already know what’s coming to the USA as it adds 100 million people via immigration within 26 years. I state the facts: the USA enjoyed a stable population since 1970 because American women averaged 2.03 children. But immigration floods this country into an unsustainable future.
Yet, the 90 percent come back with name calling, stupid comments and total lack of comprehension—as if they understood their predicament. They do not!
Once George H.W. Bush said, “The American way of life is not negotiable.”
Mother Nature responded, “Wanna’ bet!”
Susan B. Anthony suffered name calling along with Dr. Martin Luther King, Eleanor Roosevelt, Mandela, John Muir, Barbara Jordan and a host of others. Fact is, they knew more than the 90 percent, but they continued with their quest to educate. Today, the 90 percent enjoy the fruits of those great leaders’ efforts.
The fact is, the world human population grows by 77 million annually on its way to adding three billion people by mid century—41 years from now. With 18 million humans starving to death annually already of all races, creeds and colors–at what point does the United States tell other countries to become personally responsible for their civilizations, or do we immigrate ourselves into the same consequences?
In Dr. Otis Graham’s “Unguarded Gates: A History of America’s Immigration Crisis”, he writes, “Most Western elites continue urging the wealthy West not to stem the migrant tide, but to absorb our global brothers and sisters until their horrid ordeal has been endured and shared by all–ten billion humans packed onto an ecologically devastated planet.”
Thus, what I write about has nothing to do with race, creed or color. It’s about humanity. It’s about sustainability. It’s about our civilization advancing into the 21st century rather than collapsing. Instead of holing up in the 90 percent, I invite you name slingers and other “innumerates” to grow your minds or at least your common sense. You cannot pour two gallons of water into a one gallon container. In other words, you cannot exceed carrying capacity. CU’s Dr. Albert Bartlett said, “It’s time to try again to correct the educationally credentialed but innumerate experts (innumeracy is the mathematical equivalent of illiteracy) who say that growth is inevitable.”
We quickly face the end of oil within 30 years. We face water shortages. We face climate change. We face a Pandora’s Box of ramifications brought about by hyper-population growth caused by all forms of immigration. That’s a fact. We either do something about it, or, we add 100 million people to the USA in 26 years. All our lives face degradation on multiple levels if we allow that to happen.
Instead of hurling names at visionaries like McGarry, Lamm, Bartlett, Tainter, Muir, Hull, Heinberg, Kunstler and others—learn, grow and take action.

America on the Brink: The Next Added 100 Million Americans (Paperback)
by Frosty Wooldridge (Author)
Published April 27, 2009; Available at 1-888 280 7715; Barnes and Noble www.barnesandnoble.com ; Borders http://www.borders.com/online/store/Home ; Amazon www.Amazon.com
“Eye-opening, incisive, brilliant !
The U.S. has the fastest growing population of any industrial nation, and one of the world’s highest consumption rates. Water, topsoil, forests, fish, petroleum… the more of us, the more pressure we exert on our environment. Many discuss our personal consumption patterns, but few dare talk about the underlying crisis of population growth. Wooldridge is one of the few courageous voices warning us about the implications of our current direction, and informing us what we can do to change course.”
- Richard Heinberg, Peak Everything
“Electrifying reading ! This is a veritable cannonade of a book.
Wooldridge targets the people and institutions, from the President on down, who refuse to look at the consequences of population growth in the modern era. His focus is on the United States, but his range is the world.
He fearlessly addresses issues that politicians fear to mention, such as the effects of mass immigration on our population future and our social systems. He engages to force population issues into our local and national political decisions.”
- Lindsey Grant, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Environment & Population.
“The environmental community may be outrageously AWOL on the important subject of population, but not Frosty Wooldridge. Read this book ! “
- Richard D. Lamm, Governor of Colorado 1975-1987
“Wooldridge’s powerful indictment of our political leaders for failing to address U.S. overpopulation should be required reading in classrooms and boardrooms. To mindlessly add 100 million more people to our nation’s population in the next 30 years will put the United States economy and social order at further risk. His challenge needs to be addressed on individual, national and international levels before it’s too late.”
– William B. Dickinson, The Biocentric Institute
America on the Brink: The Next Added 100 Million Americans –
injects a whole new dynamic facing the United States in the 21st century. While national leaders at every level ignore accelerating consequences, immigration-driven hyper-population growth will become THE single greatest issue facing America in the years ahead. In adding 100 million people by 2035, every crisis facing Americans today accelerates in harsher consequences — whether it is water shortages, climate change, energy scarcity, dwindling resources, gridlock, air pollution and a decline of quality of life.
Wooldridge compellingly states the obvious… the U.S. cannot continue unplanned population expansion indefinitely.
He offers Hobson’s Choice as a final result of mass denial. If the U.S. adds another 100 million people via immigration, it faces two doors:
– if the country picks door # 1, this civilization walks over a cliff.
– If it picks door # 2, it walks into quicksand.
Once that 100 million people manifest, no one, no matter what their race, creed or color—escapes. Americans will endure water shortages, energy problems, crowding and a much diminished standard of living. The American Dream will no longer be available.
However, Frosty offers concrete ways to change the future. In all great social change, it takes a ‘conscious shift’ that leads to a ‘critical mass shift’ and finally, a ‘tipping point’ whereby a civilization turns toward a sustainable and viable future. It’s up to each citizen and leader to make sure that ‘tipping point’ occurs.

Ruh Roh! Now you’ve done it…
Mitch,
If they want to fly with the eagles, they need to pull themselves out of the basement.
FW
Frosty-Sue’s on a bike trip–a common ground between you two–so she may not read this for a few days. You can never say for sure what her take will be, but when you throw down the gauntlet like that, I’d be surprised if she let that one float past without taking a shot…
Mitch,
She better not bring cotton candy emotions and illogical thinking to this debate. As Einstein said, “History shows great spirits have had to deal with weak minds.”
BTW, I toured the quadruple bypass over the weekend myself, got passed by 4,000 doing the Triple Bypass, and pedaled up Battle Summit MT Pass in the friggin’ rain, but enjoyed camping in a beautiful field of wildflowers at sunset when it cleared with a beautiful rainbow and two hawks soaring over my campfire while I wolfed down pasta primavera and raspberry crumble. Life is good, it’s all good. Thanks, Frosty
From another post:
“Sue Gray, I pity stupid, inept and arrogant people who simply cannot comprehend their own lack of understanding. We’re facing a most unpleasant future in this society because so many are so dumb. At this rate we will add 100 million people in 30 years but you don’t understand what faces your own children. We face water shortages, climate destabilization, energy crisis, destroyed oceans, air pollution, species extinction and worse, yet too many continue their trite little lives without understanding. It’s maddening for those of us with brains.” – FW
Frosty,
I’m disappointed that after all of this time you still don’t get me at all. You don’t seem to be paying attention to what I’m saying. I’ve agreed with you all along and even argued your side against others that the world is overpopulated, that we’re facing dire shortages, I even wrote a post saying I believe we’ve passed peak oil and basically, humanity is doomed: http://www.aspenpost.net/2007/04/26/doomsday-looms-the-imminent-extinction-of-hydrocarbon-man-and-woman/
Granted that was written under my former pseudonym, so you might not have known my position prior to my comments on your posts. But there has been plenty of evidence in my comments that I’m no dummy when it comes to overpopulation, environmental threats and the likely future of humankind.
My problem with you has never centered on your premise that the world is facing dire threats due to overpopulation. What I take exception to is your American exceptionalism, your exclusivity, and your belief that a majority Latino population will threaten American culture.
What culture exactly are you referring to? The Southern U.S. culture is very different than the Midwest culture, which is different from the Northeast culture and California culture and Colorado culture. All of these cultures have been heavily influenced by immigrant cultures throughout our history; Norwegian, European, African, Irish, Italian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Latino, etc.
The truth is, we are not one homogenous culture and America is in absolutely no danger of becoming a Latino based Spanish speaking culture, no matter how many Latino immigrants we absorb. The key word is absorb, because that is what happens to varying immigrant populations when they come here. Within a few short generations the cultural differences fade and the grandchildren of immigrants speak only English and become virtually indistinguishable from the rest of us whose immigrant pasts go further back.
Despite the fact that we have always been a nation of immigrants, according to you it’s the newest immigrants that are ruining America; the Latinos and Muslims. Back when the Irish, Italian and Chinese immigrants arrived, those whose ancestors were English, French or Northern European said it was going to ruin America, but it didn’t. When thousands of Vietnamese immigrants flooded into California, Louisiana and other states, the residents of those states said it would ruin their culture, but it didn’t. Now people like you are singling out the newest wave of immigrants as “bad for America.”
Your frequent emphasis on the demise of America due to multiculturalism makes it apparent that this isn’t just a simple case of NIMBYism. It appears that a racist agenda lurks behind the legitimate concern of overpopulation.
Likewise, your criticism of me betrays your chauvinistic leanings. Whenever a man wants to shut down a woman who disagrees with him, he labels her stupid and emotional.
I’ve got news for you, compassion is not an emotion. Compassion is an intellectual exercise in seeing everyone the same as yourself. It’s a conscious decision to treat everyone regardless of race, sex, religion, or place of birth with kindness and generosity. Emotion has nothing to do with it. In fact I think your fear of Muslim and Latino immigrants carries more emotion than my defense of their right to be here and enjoy what America has to offer with the rest of us…as long as it lasts.
Education, immigration, enviroment on and on but like I pointed out long ago and not so far away…Goldman Sachs!
Mitch said show me the money and I said… Goldman Sachs!
Everyone has to look for themselves before it becomes clear.
I started out with 9/11 and it led me to…Goldman Sachs!
Just a hint of a clue…Treasury Secretariies under Clinton and W Bush..ex CEO’s of Goldman Sachs.
Head of the Lower Manhatten Development Corp in cahrge of rebuilding Ground Zero.. ex CEO of Goldman Sachs.
Investment Banking firm that received 2 billion dollars in gov’t grants to build their 2.5 billion dollar new world headquarters across from the Freedom (Fortress, another story) Tower… Goldman Sachs!
Gov of New Jersey (one of the main principles of the New York New Jersey Port Authority who own Ground Zero) who O just spent time backslapping to help get him re-elected… ex CEO Goldman Sachs!
Ladies and Gentlemen, please follow the money and you will see… Goldman Sachs and their partner in crime… The Federal Reserve.
Of course it is complex and it will take your energy to see but hey, its all we have…
Go to the Core… Goldman Sachs and The Federal Reserve

See ya there!
Notice that a donkey “brays” because it doesn’t possess an intelligent thought other than its displeasure at the moment.

Others like Jack Droy mouth off with ‘racism’ and comparisons to men like McGarry—all with emotions rather than logic. But like all high school dropouts, they don’t have a clue about what they speak. Again
(You sir are a moron. You have supplied the answers you think others would promulgate. The mathematics at this level are simple simon. Get over yourself. I have said that I thought a good planetary population for homo sap is somewhere from 500 million, (no doofus I do not mean Billion with a “B”) to 2 billion (yes doofus now I do mean to use a “B”). Immigration between nation states is not planetary population control. Take your time and explain how you equate the two.
I would never suggest you taking an IQ test in competition with any who have replied on this thread. Not that you would have the aptitude to comprehend the results. Frosted Flake!
Mr. Droy,
You prove Einstein a wise man when he said, “Great spirits down through history must contend with weak minds.” Find yourself and then, get over yourself.
FW
Oh Mr. Droy,
I recommend you earn your GED so you can run and thin with the big dogs.
FW
Hey Con-Man,
I know the above link isn’t about immigration but hey I started out with a plan for rebuilding Ground Zero and ended up wearing a tin hat w/ lipstick (just kidding..really!)
Fact is this guy (a reputable journalist) digs down to places I could never go. Fortunately I can still afford to pay attention and so I continue to learn.
Bottom line since I have to go.. Ground Zero Memorial Competition..inside job/Scam, Rebuilding Ground Zero.. bunch of rich old white guys, Goldman’s bunch some of the baddest, backslapping themselves all the way to the bank, with our money/Scam, 9/11 itself… all the above and so much more, see Haliburton-KBR-Cheney-Carlyle-Bush for starters/Scam, present economic/environmental etc crisis combined w/ election of O and all of that bought and paid for Congressional bullshit/Scam!
On and on Con-ski, wake up and report reality please.
FW
I graduated whoopeedoo, even though useless, spineless weak minded stooges such as your self were constantly in the way. Under natural law you and those like you would be non factors. I guess you are too chicken for that IQ test. You are just another POS handed opportunity, above your competency. The only reason you didn’t like Bush, is he was handed even more with less ability than you — pure envy.
You have less than no clue about my constitution.
