If you’re a frequent visitor to this site, you might have noticed a recent change, the lefthand-side banner advertisement for a documentary titled "Demographic Winter."  It’s the first ad ever to appear at SelwynDuke.com, and for good reason.

I recently wrote a review of the work for The New American magazine, and when my editor first asked me if I’d consider penning such a piece, I wasn’t too enthusiastic.  All I knew at the time was that the documentary concerned the folly of worrying about over-population, and I assumed it would simply be a regurgitation of arguments I’d already heard.  I speak of those stating  things such as the entire population of the world could live in the state of Texas, with every person receiving a decent-sized parcel of land.   Well, I couldn’t have been more wrong.

In reality, Demographic Winter turned out to be one of the most interesting, informative and important documentaries I’d seen in quite some time.  It not only points out that about 70 countries now have negative birth rates, it also informs that the Third World is poised to follow suit.  Thus, while the concern the last 50 years has been a population explosion, the truth is that we face a population implosion, with the number of children in the world already declining.

If this sounds like a good development, there perhaps are factors about which you haven’t been told.  And this is the value of Demographic Winter: It tells the real population story, as opposed to the Malthusian fantasies we’ve been peddled.  Among other things, it explains why this implosion could portend economic collapse and the death of the West. 

That’s all I’ll say here, but if you’d like more information, you can read my review in The New American.

For the purposes of full disclosure, I’ll say that, yes, I will make money if you purchase the documentary (which is another good reason to buy it!).  It will be little more than a pittance, though; it won’t even pay the costs of running this site.  I’m selling the work because I believe in it; otherwise, it would never appear here.  So give the ad a look-see, and if you buy the work, I can’t imagine you’ll be disappointed.
