Developing Northern Australia for 100 million people
By Doug Mitchell, LaRouche Youth Movement
“In my mind it’s a simple task, the only thing stopping it is
politics. That’s the only thing stopping it being done. There’s no
technical reason why this can’t happen.”
—Mohd Peter Davis, agricultural scientist at the Institute
of Advanced Technology, Universiti Putra Malaysia, July 6,
2010, speaking at a CEC Meeting in Brisbane.
The greenies and Malthusians should just shut up, listen,
and get out of the way. The science and technology exists
to feed the world’s current population of 7 billion people,
and today’s projected population by 2100, 11 billion people.
The Deep Tropical animal production system, presented
by Mohd Peter Davis at a CEC Public Meeting in Brisbane
on July 6th, uses freshly grown grass, treats animals like
humans, and can increase Australia’s farming production by
a magnitude of 100. If you’ve ever had nagging doubts or
questions, such as “there’s no more grazing land left”, “the
CSIRO says we can’t grow food up north!” or a little nig-
gling voice saying “but our ability to produce food is finite!”
then stop reading “‘pee’r-reviewed literature”, and listening
to “the experts”, because what Peter presented to this
meeting, smashes those environmentalist beliefs into the
ground. The experts said to Peter, “it can’t be done”, so he
just went ahead and did it!
What became clear to the audience is that Australia al-
ready has the culture of agriculture, and the projects ready
to go, all that’s stopping it is the political will.
Right from the start, Peter ridiculed the notion that
Australia is overpopulated. “The first time I came to Aus-
tralia, in 1969, I landed in Darwin, and I thought I landed on
the Moon. Nothing compared to hitchkiking from Darwin
to Brisbane, it was the hardest part of the whole trip (he
came to Australia from England travelling through the Third
World with his brother with just £900 between them). I was
told later on that Australia was overpopulated. I said ‘you
lot are crazy. I just travelled from Darwin to Brisbane, and
I barely saw a person. I barely saw a tree.’ (This begs the
question, can Julia Gillard and Kelvin Thomson travel from
Darwin to Brisbane, and still get away with saying ‘we’re
overpopulated’? They can’t get away with their “sustainable
population” brainwashing, with Deep Tropical available for
Australians to fight for!)
Peter thoroughly went through the Deep Tropical system.
The Malaysian climate is the perfect greenhouse climate.
Year-round rain, year-round sun. The temperature range
is 25-35 degrees. The world’s best climate. We can get 10
times more biomass production per hectare than temperate
climates. With the grass farms developed by N Yogendran,

cal farm in Malaysia. Their climate-controlled shed is in the background.

The Deep Tropical grass farm maximises plant use for feed, by harvesting
fast-growing grass before it becomes more fibrous and indigestible. The
cut grass on the Deep Tropical plantation, shown here, will grow again and
be ready for feeding cows in about 35 days.
the grass grows 3 feet in 35 days, so we can cut it 10 times
per year. A greenies dream really. It requires fertiliser and
occasional water, but no fungicides, pesticides or weedicides.
Start from the basics of biochemistry. Go back to square
one.The primary food source of the biosphere is cellulose:
sunlight, CO2, water, chlorophyll, produces celuslose. Well
known in biochemistry exams is the question “all flesh is
grass, discuss it.” The production of cellulose in green plants
and grass is the start of the whole food chain.
Yogendran’s breakthrough involved stopping lignifica-
tion of grass. Lignification is the way of turning cellulose
into reinforced concrete, ie nothing can get into it, and
break it down. So it’s a natural way of protecing the plant.
All Yogendran did is stop the grass from lignifyng. What he
produces is the spring grass. Farming in NZ, Australia and
Europe uses spring grass. With the grass plantation you
can mass produce spring grass 365 days a year. Using crop
circles, with swivel-irrigation, and with water provided by
major water projects and nuclear desalination, we can get
those tropical conditions in Australia, and by housing the
animals protecting them from the environment.
The grass is chopped up and fed to the cows. Sheep
and pigs can also be housed in air-conditioned barns. With
evaporative cooling, outside it maybe 34 degrees but it’s 27
inside. It feels like a gentle breeze, and gets rid of all the
smells. Peter said: “We’re giving animals, human-standard
housing. The irony is they’re living better than half of hu-
manity. If you treat your animals like humans you get better
production out of them.”
For the past 300 years Thomas Malthus has been a
conscious genocidal liar. Humanity has proven that it’s able
to increase the pasture land, and increase the numbers of
sheep and cattle, through cellulose. Deep Tropical is man
consciously and willfully changing the biosphere.With Deep
Tropical, we can greatly increase the base of digestible grass
and crops, which means that we can increase the population
of animals. Deep Tropical is not at the expense of animals.
We’ve changed the biosphere now. We’ve run out of land
using grazing techniques. But Australia has vast land, if you
fix up the soil and the water. What the world needs by the
end of this century is a 4-fold increase in food production,
because in order to feed the projected population of 11
billion people by 2100, we have to get the level of domestic
animals up to the level of human population, largely because
we’re meat eaters.We need protein which comes from meat,
milk and eggs, from animals which are fed grass, which is
what they are designed to eat! Every human needs 1 gram of
protein per kg of body weight.You can get that from eating

 Is madman Obama going to bomb Iran?
A flurry of propaganda has surfaced over the past 48
hours, indicating that, in the aftermath of the Obama-
Netanyahu White House love-fest last week, the Obama
Administration is seriously considering military action
against Iran. If it were simply a matter of media black pro-
paganda, the threat would be limited, at best, given U.S.
military resistance to another Persian Gulf war. But, given
the fact that the President is stark-raving mad, and given
that several extremely well-informed Washington sources
have confirmed a renewed consideration of an attack on
Iran, coming directly from the White House, the matter has
to be taken very seriously.
On July 15, Time magazine prominently featured a story
by Joe Klein, headlined “An Attack on Iran: Back on the
Table,” in which it was reported that the Pentagon, for the
first time, considers military action against Iran’s nuclear
program to be both feasible and possibly necessary. “Intel-
ligence sources say that the U.S.Army’s Central Command,
which is in charge of organizing military operations in the
Middle East, has made some real progress in planning tar-
geted air strikes—aided, in large part, by vastly improved
human-intelligence operations in the region,” Klein wrote.
He quoted an Israeli military source telling him,“There really
wasn’t a military option a year ago. But they’ve gotten serious
about the planning and the option is now real.” The source
reported that the Israeli military has been consulted on the
war planning, because the Obama Administration does not
want Israel to act on its own, in attacking Iran. Klein added,
“One other factor has brought the military option to a low
boil: Iran’s Sunni neighbors really want the U.S. to do it...
Senior American officials who travel to the Gulf frequently
say the Saudis, in particular, raise the issue with surprising
ardor.” Klein claimed that “For the moment, the White
House remains as skeptical as ever about a military strike,”
but that, according to senior U.S. intelligence sources and
one top Democrat, is no longer true. Reportedly, President
Obama is personally talking about an attack on Iran, and
views it as a potential boost for his 2012 reelection plans.
On July 15, the same day that the Klein story was posted,
Spiegel Online published a very similar story under the
headline “A Quiet Axis Forms Against Iran in the Middle
East,” by Alexander Smoltczyk and Bernhard Zand. They

350g of protein per day. That adds up to 27kg of fresh meat
per year. 7 billion people today use 190 million tons of food
per year, and at least half of the world’s population doesn’t eat
enough food every day. So we need to increase food production
four-fold. “In my mind it’s a simple task, the only thing stopping it is
politics.That’s the only thing stopping it being done.There’s no technical
reason why this can’t happen.”
Peter made the point that Deep Tropical is such an extremely
simple concept, which is what happens with most scientific
breakthroughs. People think “it’s so simple.” The irony is it came
after a lot of work. It’s taken 20 years of hard work, and Peter is
getting more development from Australia than from 20 years in
Malaysia. One reason being: we have a rich agricultural culture
of creative, innovative farmers! Once we build the dams in the
right places we can grow sheep, cows, anywhere in the tropics,
from the Tropic of Cancer to the Tropic of Capricorn.
If you compare sheep per hectare per year equivalents
Australia has 0.7, NZ 7, Malaysia with Deep Tropical 82. “[With
water, and thanks to its solar radiation, northern] Australia can
support 100 times more sheep and cattle production per hectare
cited a strong push from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab
Emirates, for an attack by the United States on Iran, regard-
less of the blowback. Spiegel noted the recent speech by
UAE’s Ambassador to the United States, Yousef Al Otaiba,
at an Aspen, Colourado forum, in which he aggressively pro-
moted American military action to knock out Iran’s nuclear
capabilities. “A military attack on Iran by whomever would
be a disaster,” the ambassador said,“but Iran with a nuclear
weapon would be a bigger disaster.” While acknowledging
that there would undoubtedly be a severe “backlash,” “If
you ask me, ‘Am I willing to live with that versus living with
a nuclear Iran,’ my answer is still the same. We cannot live
with a nuclear Iran. I am willing to absorb that [it] takes place
at the expense of the security of the U.A.E.”
Even Arnaud de Borchgrave, who, in recent years, has
been a harsh critic of the Bush-Cheney preventive wars, and
an opponent of military strikes on Iran, wrote on July 13 that
“Global Sentiment Builds to Attack Iran.” Citing the same
Saudi and UAE statements that were reported by Time and
Spiegel Online, de Borchgrave concluded: “The temptation
for Obama to double down on Iran will grow rapidly as he
concludes that Afghanistan will remain a festering sore as far
as anyone can peer into a murky future, hardly a recipe for
success at the polls in November.With a war in Afghanistan
that is bound to get worse and a military theater in Iraq
replete with sectarian violence, the bombing of Iran may
give Obama a three-front war and a chance to retain both
houses of Congress.”
of land.This is the lie of Malthus.This is the complete opposite
of what he’s saying.”
Again Peter emphasised what’s preventing a major break-
through in applying this agricultural science to our under-devel-
oped country: “In Australia, you’ve got all of the systems, the country’s
completely mapped, we know exactly where to build all the dams,
we’ve known that for a long, long time.The thing that’s stopping that is
politics. It’s not science, it’s not technology, it’s not farming, it’s politics.”
Peter ended with an optimistic mission for our nation:“We
want to turn the Top End as green as Papua New Guinea. If you
can do it in Australia you can do it in Africa and the Middle East.
Australia is in the best position because we have the culture.Australia
is going to be your prototype for growing food on Mars. If you you can
crack it here, you can do it there.”
