Dear Colleague:
Many of the wealthiest people in the world, who have the means to do great good, instead use their fortunes to impose population control on the poor.
Steven W. Mosher
President
Billionaires and Their Causes
Who is the biggest funder of anti-people population control programs in the world?
If you answered “the U.S. government,” you would be wrong. A small group of the world’s wealthiest individuals and their foundations collectively fronts more money for the abortion, sterilization and contraception of the human race than Washington.
Why do so many of America’s wealthiest people seem obsessed with reducing the numbers of the poor through population control? In part it is a misguided notion of what the poor really need. In part it is simple arrogance and elitism on the part of the rich. How else can one describe the mega-rich telling the dirt-poor that they should not have children?
In “The Christmas Carol,” the Ghost of Christmas Past compares Scrooge to an insect on a leaf who condemns his brothers who are still in the dirt. Frightened nearly out of his wits, Scrooge comes to see the error of his ways. By the end of the story he begins using his wealth to help others.
In the following article published by Focus on the Family’s Citizen magazine, I detail several wealthy men of our age who could use a visit from the Ghost of Christmas Past.
Here is the link to that article. I hope you find it helpful.
The Billionaire Bomb Just look who’s funding anti-population programs. By Steven W. Mosher Bill Gates ($63 billion), Warren Buffett ($28 billion), and Ted Turner ($9 billion) have billions on their minds, and not just in their bank accounts and stock portfolios. On a planet inhabited by 6 billion people, they claim that overpopulation is the greatest threat to survival in the 21st century – “the single most important issue facing mankind today,” according to Turner, founder of the Cable News Network (CNN).
