MIT Research Team Predicts Global Economic Collapse and Precipitous Population Decline

While all of this may be true, I do not understand why such discussions never include details about how the ruling elite is destroying small farming around the world (intentionally) and depriving farmers in the US (and probably elsewhere) of water - and not of necessity, but as part of some political game. For example, in California they are depriving Central Valley farmers of irrigation water, ostensibly in order to save a small fish. No serious person, cognizant of the thrust of current US policy, can believe that preserving any kind of life or the environment is ever the part of their agenda. They appear, in many ways, to be orchestrating shortages, especially of food and water.
I know in India Western trade policy played a big role in depriving 200,000 farmers in Punjab of their land and driving them to suicide over the past decade or so. In the US, the feds are now aggressively targeting producers and retail vendors of health foods. They have done a lot to harm small American farmers in recent decades. Documentaries on the topic have been made, the subject well studied. These are just a few examples pulled out of the bag. There are many. They endeavor now to take full control of the food and water supply, along with all other important resources. I can't help but believe they intend not to try to feed the starving masses, but to choose who eats who drinks and who dies at some point in the future.
Studies such as this are probably intended to absolve them of responsibility for the ultimate outcome of all these maneuvers. Given the direction of their policies, I cannot believe in the legitimacy of the study.
People want desperately to absolve them of blame. It is programmed into human beings to overlook any political crime. This is part of our psychological landscape. But really we dare not look away. The power of these people over life and death is too great. As long as we are willing to overlook decades of the intentional destruction of farming, the food supply, the intentional creation of water "shortages", etc. we will get the fate they serve to us. No discussion of this issue should ever transpire without a thorough study of policy in this area.
Any study can be falsified. We all know this. The study was funded by the ruling elite, as the author says. Only the reputation of MIT lends it any credibility at all. Our universities are already under the influence of the federal government, which has been aggressively interfering in academic freedom since 9/11. We should not forget it. 9/11 was their license for a future of rampant criminality. This study is just another part of their cover, in my humble opinion...

Beginning of the headline :
Researchers at one of the world’s leading think tanks have developed a computing model that predicts serious implications for our way of life as a result of our incessant need to consume resources like oil, food, and fresh water. According to a team of scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the breaking point will come no later than 2030, and when it does, we can expect a paradigm shift unlike any we have seen before in human history – one that will not only collapse the economies of the world, but will cause food and energy production to decrease so significantly that it will lead to the deaths of hundreds of millions of people in the process...
